A new urban legend comes to life in the new trailer for Dark Harvest. The trailer starts with the ominous, almost Grimm fairy tale-esque narration that says, “It’s Halloween. You know what that means. Old Sawtooth Jack is gonna rise from the cornfields. It’s gotta be stopped. Kill or be killed.” David Slade returns to a grittier tone after the Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night director took on one of the chapters in the Twilight franchise, helming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The director also returns to features after Slade tried his hand at television with Breaking Bad and Black Mirror. He also once set to make a series, Red Bird Lane, with Crispin Glover and Susan Sarandon until Max (HBO Max at the time) opted not to continue with it.

Written by Samantha Humphrey (S.W.A.T.), Red Stick is based on an idea by Cornwell. It follows Dr. Annie Dodge who is summoned from New York to her hometown of Baton Rouge, La, after the sudden death of her father, the city’s beloved coroner. Now, as she’s mourning the loss of her childhood hero, Annie finds herself reluctantly stepping into her father’s role to solve an ongoing murder while navigating the complicated waters of Bayou politics, Southern hospitality and a simmering past romance.
Humphrey executive produces with Cornwell. Tolmach and David Manpearl executive produce via Matt Tolmach Productions.
Dr. Annie Dodge draws parallels to Cornwell’s most famous character, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a medical examiner.

You can add another comic-book-to-tv project to your watch list – dystopian sci-fi Lazarus from Greg Rucka and Michael Lark...
Legendary Television has picked up the TV rights to the still-ongoing comic book series Lazarus, it was announced yesterday, after an apparently competitive war of bidding.
The comic – created by Greg Rucka and Michael Lark – is a dystopian science-fiction tale. It’s set in a world where 16 wealthy families rule over all of society. There’s a bit of superpower-esque twist, too – each family has an immortal ‘Lazarus’ on their side.
These Lazarus characters (Lazari?) are genetically engineered to be un-killable in order to protect their families. Forever Carlyle, the series protagonist, is one of these characters.
However, there’s a little more to the comic than that short summary can do justice to, it’s a cunning deconstruction of the class system which provides food for thought as well as fights and stuff,...
