No one ever accused Hollywood of being original, but it appears that studios are jumping on the bandwagon these days before there even is a bandwagon. With Frank Darabont’s adaptation of The Walking Dead getting a second season two months before the first episode even airs, the other networks are clearly jealous of all that horror comic mojo that AMC has got, even if they haven’t really seen it yet. Fox just gave Dreamworks a “season commitment” for a series based on Joe Hill’s horror comic from IDW Locke & Key (see “Fox Picks Up ‘Locke & Key’). Now comes word that Warner Bros. TV is acquiring the rights to Neil Gaiman’s Sandman from sister company DC Comics.
