Lily & Grandpa Munster's Magical Transformations In First Clip From MOCKINGBIRD LANE
NBC's remake of The Munsters, Mockingbird Lane, will make it's premiere this Friday, Oct. 26, as a Halloween special. To get you excited the network has released the first clip from the show featuring Portia De Rossi and Eddie Izzard.
The pilot, written by Bryan Fuller and to be directed by Bryan Singer, is described as a reinvention of the 1960s sitcom about The Munsters, a family of “monsters” — vampires, werewolves and Frankenstein, and their “plain” cousin (Charity Wakefield) — that will feature striking visuals in the vein of Fuller’s ABC dramedy Pushing Daisies. O’Connell will play family patriarch, the handsome and gangly Herman Munster, a great dad and devoted husband. He is married to Lily, a vampire, with whom he has fathered a 10-year-old boy, Eddie (Mason Cook). Strong but sentimental, Herman works at a funeral home, and worries that Eddie’s transformation into a werewolf and burgeoning awareness of his family’s origins will crush the boy’s spirit.
