Bryan Fullers NBC Double: Daisies Creator Has Two Projects Hoping to get Series Orders

Yearly month roughly, Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Bigger may have two series on NBC. He's behind two high-profile projects, The Munsters and Hannibal, all of them around the script-to-series track. Bigger initially produced a reboot in the sixties comedy series The Munsters last season and also the was among very handful of scripts new NBC chief Bob Greenblatt saved in play when he needed inside the network within the month of the month of january. Greenblatt folded the project to be redeveloped by his team. Bigger’s new outline published in Septemer was received well (it absolutely was the talk of NBC’s pre-Emmy party), and also the draft only decided to be shipped on Friday. Word is always that NBC, that might pull the trigger around the series order the moment now, envisions the completely new Munsters just like a potential summer season or event series. Like Bigger’s previous series, Pushing Daisies, the project features striking pictures combined with the classic Munsters archetypes. Grand dad Mike Dracula is essentially Dracula who come up with Herman because no guy was good enought for his daughter Lily, a stylish vamp. Lily’s niece Marilyn the freak is actually normal and Lily and Herman’s only child, Eddie, has his werewolf habits surface in adolescence, forcing your family to relocate for his or her famous 1313 Mockingbird Lane address. Individually, Bigger is writing Hannibal, a drama series for Gaumont Worldwide Television and producer Martha P Laurentiis, which NBC just bought preemptively. Bigger is writing the script about good legendary literary and film character Hannibal Lecter against a 13-episode commitment, meaning the way the script will trigger a 13-episode series if NBC wants it. (NBC features a short window to find out upon locating the draft, getting a possible release triggering an issue.) I hear the network first got taking into consideration the project when Bigger stated it delicately for the network’s new entertainment leader Jennifer Salke over drinks. A very-known foodie as evidenced by Pushing Daisies, I hear Bigger was attracted towards the dark, sick side of Hannibal, that has a inclination to feast on his sufferers. Furthermore for the 2 NBC projects hoping to get series pick-ups, Bigger is writing an energetic-action addaptation of Pinocchio, that's awating eco-friendly light from Warner Bros., and contains another high-profile feature gig inside the works. In addition, Bigger has 2 cable projects, which stem from his previous overall deal at NBCU, with Pushing Daisies alums Jim D. Gray and Lisa Pleasure. An adaptation in the classic novel Lotus Caves, which Bigger is co-writing with Gray, is at serious contention at Syfy, with Cary Granat’s Granat Entertainment creating. At USA, Bigger is supervisory Pleasure on Mind Fields, that's produced by Howie Mandel. Outdoors of TV and film, WME-repped Bigger has his design/furniture business with art director/interior decorator Scott Roberts, Bigger+Roberts Co.
