Today comes this news
Could it be?
del Toro first pitched The Strain to FOX as a TV series ...but FOX wanted it to be a comedy(True Story)...anyone remember George Hamilton in Love At First Bite or Eddie Murphy's Vampire in Brooklyn? How did those vampire comedies work out?*crickets*...Lost Boys,maybe.
It could work...The Strain TV bible is out there...and Noxon sure knows her bloodsuckers.
Are there too many vampire projects out there already?
Probably...
Maybe Noxon & Co. can put a little "BITE" (pun totally intended) into the competition.
I for one, would LOVE to see it...
Casting choices anyone?
Drop me a line...
Hey... you forgot another vampire comedy stinker - Leslie Nielsen's "Dracula:Dead and Loving It". I think those folks at FOX are spending too much time on their tanning beds, it's starting to effect thought process. "The Strain" deserves much better.
ReplyDeleteI disagree Cydog66, Dracula:Dead and Loving It is a really funny movie (in a Leslie Nielsen kinda way) and Mel Brooks is amazing.
