The Munsters are returning!
It's Official: Herman, Lily, Grandpa, Eddie & Marilyn Are NBC-Bound In The Munsters Reboot
For those of you keeping track, it's now official - NBC is picking up Bryan Fuller's reboot of 'The Munsters' to pilot! This announcement comes less then 2 weeks after the network received Fuller's final script. According to Deadline, Universal Television will be producing the project which is being described as an imaginative reinvention of the show from the 60s as a visually spectacular one-hour drama. Fuller originally developed The Munsters last season and his was one of very few scripts new NBC chief Bob Greenblatt kept in play when he took over the network in January. Greenblatt rolled the project to get it redeveloped by his team. Fuller's new outline submitted in September was received well, and his new script was delivered to NBC early this month. The current buzz seems to suggest that the network envisions the new Munsters as a potential summer or event series. The project will features striking visuals mixed with all the classic Munsters archetypes. Grandpa Sam Dracula is essentially Dracula who assembled Herman because no man was good enough for his daughter Lily, a sexy vamp. Lily's niece Marilyn the freak is actually normal and Lily and Herman’s only child, Eddie, has his werewolf tendencies surface in puberty, forcing the family to relocate to their famous 1313 Mockingbird Lane address. Stay tuned for casting announcements as they roll in. |
Lets hope it's better than that God-Awful 1988 version.

They managed to reboot The Addams Family as a successful series of movies every bit as good as the TV show... can they recapture the magic of The Munsters? I don't hold out much hope. So much of the magic of the show was due to the personalities of the cast- Fred Gwynne, Yvonne DeCarlo and Al Lewis. How do you top or even equal that?

Oh! Yvonne DeCarlo should have done some horror films when she was that young & gorgeous! She was a real hottie! |
she was extremely gorgeous and hot and has done some good movies in 40's and 50's but definitely not horror

The show will be a “strange hybrid of the popular comedy “Modern Family” and HBO’s “True Blood”. Although dark there will be a lot of heart and comedic elements.” Plot Synopsis: Quote:
Lily Munster is said to have an eating disorder and only eats suicide victims. Grandpa is a 600-year-old shapeshifter and Marilyn is said to be adopted, after her mother tried to eat her as a baby. Interesting and weird, should be a mix that todays audiences might go for. _*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_END OF SPOILERS_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_ |
