As it turns out, those legal issues were enough to kill the Crypt Keeper&#8217;s return.<\/p>\n<p>TNT president Kevin Reilly told <a href=\"http:\/\/deadline.com\/2017\/05\/turner-kevin-reilly-david-levy-conan-tnt-sci-fi-mystery-blocks-reduced-ad-load-1202103385\/\">Deadline<\/a> that\u00a0it&#8217;s not moving forward,\u00a0and that they&#8217;ll be moving ahead with Ridley Scott&#8217;s sci-fi block instead, which as of yet doesn&#8217;t seem to have a concrete format but it&#8217;s clearly something that they&#8217;re very excited about. Unlike <strong><em>Tales From The Crypt<\/em><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That one got really caught\u00a0up in a complete legal mess unfortunately with a\u00a0very complicated underlying rights structure,&#8221; Reilly said. &#8220;We lost so much time, so I said, \u2018Look, I\u2019m not waiting around four\u00a0years for this thing\u2019. Maybe that will come back around but in the meantime, Ridley Scott\u00a0had come up, who has so much creative enthusiasm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They had previously planned a horror block with <strong><em>Crypt<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>Time Of Death<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Creatures<\/em><\/strong>, but plans for that are clearly not a priority any more. &#8220;I haven\u2019t ruled it out. We don\u2019t have a specific property today but we\u2019re open to it,&#8221; said Reilly.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Shyamalan is keeping busy with his <strong><em>Split<\/em><\/strong> sequel <strong><em>Glass<\/em><\/strong> getting underway.<\/p>\n<p>It seems to be a tough business bringing\u00a0old horror anthology shows back from the dead, as Joe Hill&#8217;s <strong><em>Tales From The Darkside<\/em><\/strong> reboot never got the pilot stage (although he was able to adapt it into a comic). Still, with production on the <strong><em>Locke &amp; Key<\/em> <\/strong>TV show finally underway at Hulu with Carlton Cuse and Scott Derrickson, hopefully we&#8217;ll have Hill&#8217;s horrors on our TVs sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep up with the latest sci-fi news with the new issue of SciFiNow.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legal issues killed M Night Shyamalan&#8217;s Tales From The Crypt <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":97211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":""},"categories":[3,207],"tags":[4943],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/TalesFromtheCrypt.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
