THE USUAL SUSPECTS and X-MEN director Bryan Singer is in talks to helm the pilot for NBC’s new series THE MUNSTERS. PUSHING DAISIES creator Bryan Fuller has been working on bringing the beloved comedy series that originally aired in 1964, back to the small screen. Having an acclaimed A-list director directing the pilot episode will certainly help as the likes of THE WALKING DEAD (Frank Darabont) and BOARDWALK EMPIRE (Martin Scorcese) will testify.
THE MUNSTERS featured a friendly family of familiar looking characters each based on iconic horror figures. The great Fred Gwynn lead the cast as Herman, a lovable father sporting a Frankenstein style look. His wife Lily was the obvious ‘ Bride of Frankenstein’ while Grandpa was modelled on Dracula and son Eddie on ‘The Wolfman’.
Singer is actually no stranger to the television world having seen his hit show HOUSE starring Hugh Laurie win numerous awards and more importantly for the network viewers over its eight seasons.
