10 Upcoming Comic Book Movies That Have Nothing To Do With Marvel Or DC

6. Locke & Key

At this point, there are more Stephen King stories that have been adapted into movies than haven't. And for a man who's published literally dozens of short stories and novels, that's mighty impressive. His prodigal son, the author Joe Hill, has a somewhat less impressive batting average; save for Alexandre Aja's adaptation of his satanic revenge book Horns with Daniel Radcliffe. Which isn't to suggest Hill's work isn't as worthy of adaptation. Far from it. Easily the crowning achievement in his back catalogue so far is the comic book series Locke & Key, about a family who discover a house full of locked doors which lead to different worlds after the father is murdered. Drawn by Gabriel Rodriguez, Locke & Key was a smash in comic book form, both critically and commercially. There was already an TV pilot shot, produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Mark Romanek, but Fox passed on it. At last year's San Diego Comic-Con, however, it was announced Star Trek screenwriters Alex Kurtzman Roberto Orci are making it into a movie trilogy.
