We often have the impression that the world of film and television operates in auto-pilot, especially in the last few years. But it sometimes happens that a project we surexcite. It is therefore even more painful when we are told that eventually, it will not happen.

Yet, it was going well. The network TNT was deputy for the services of an M. Night Shyamalan again to resurrect the cultissimes Tales from the Crypt for a new season of 10 episodes, at least. And it had the air of moving forward, even as the chain was going to create a special box for several new series of horror, the famous Horror Block.

Shyamalan is out in the press, by revealing a project more exciting, when suddenly the first signs of complications began to appear. The first concerns, the first questions, the Tales from the Crypt would be at the heart of a big brothel legal and recover all of the rights necessary to its realization seemed ever more complicated. Up at the sharp end, at the beginning of June, when Kevin Reilly, the boss of the network, TNT, has announced that he dropped the project.

However, we still wanted to believe it, we said that miracles exist, and that our Crypt Keeper favorite couldn’t lower the arms as easily. Except that it will have to definitely be a reason, as Reilly comes to explain a little more specifically what had happened to the microphone of the Deadline and, indeed, there is little chance that it will arrange a day :

“It was nice with the lawyers. Really nice… We didn’t know what they were at the start, otherwise we never would have announced our project and tried to make up the sauce. In reality, it is a story of rights. I found myself facing a legal structures are the most complicated, if not the most complicated, in my entire career, and we had no idea what we were in the process of embarking us. It became a real nightmare. So we said that if one day all of this is sorted out, it will retry the shot.”

Beyond the disappointment, though understandable, one feels, however, still a glimmer of hope, tinged with resignation. But as nothing seems to want to arrange in this sense, we are said to be good, it is nice to dream, but this dream-there, it may be better to leave it aside. And it really is a shame.
