One of the best graphic novels I've been reading is Joe Hill's (son of Stephen King) Locke & Key, which was originally announced as a film project over at Dimension.

Vulture is reporting that Steven Spielberg, via DreamWorks TV, is teaming with mega-hyphenates Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Transformers, "Fringe") and writer/exec producer Josh Friedman ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") to turn Joe Hill's comic series into a major TV franchise!!




First released in 2008, "Locke & Key" revolves around three kids who end up watching over a secret, spooky New England mansion filled with mystical doors that transport them to different worlds and give them special powers (like turning into a ghost).

Friedman will write the pilot.
