New MOCKINGBIRD LANE Cast Photo; Plus Concept Art For Spot
A new photo featuring the cast of Mockingbird Lane, Brian Fuller's remake of The Munsters, has been released and it reveals a spoiler about Eddie Izzard’s Grandpa Munster. Also hit the jump to check out concept art of the family's pet, Spot.
The pilot for The Munsters remake will be broadcast on Friday, Oct. 26, rebranded as a Halloween special. At the end of the show you will learn why Grandpa Munster (Eddie Izzard) goes from looking like an elderly man, to some several decades younger. You can see his younger version in the first image below with the rest of the cast. Also have a new image of Herman Munster (Jerry O’Connell) sporting a mechanical heart, and concept art of the family's pet, named Spot.
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.
