Mockingbird Lane, the reboot of The Munsters TV series, is set to begin filming in June. Two roles have already been cast, and we have new details on possible Universal Monsters appearing on the show, along with some concept art.
The newest issue of Entertainment Weekly talks about the upcoming show, and while it has previously been said that it will be edgier than the original, series creator Bryan Fuller mentions that it is still family-friendly: "We want this to be an American Harry Potter... It's an American Horror Story the whole family can watch."
The magazine also notes that Fuller hopes to include other classic horror chracters from the Universal library, including the Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Invisible Man.
Eddie Izzard was the first actor to join the cast of Mockingbird Lane as Grandpa. Charity Wakefield will be playing the only “normal” member of the family, Marilyn. The new series has been created for NBC by Bryan Fuller, with Bryan Singer (X-Men, The Usual Suspects) being involved as an executive producer and director of the pilot episode.
