THE WICKER MAN: once thought to be “rubbish” and “undistributable”

Coming this Fall: Daniel Knauf’s DRACULA

Last updated on: September 22, 2013 at 1:35 am By Peg Aloi

Yes, THAT Daniel Knauf, the one who created HBO’s Carnivale. This new series, starring Jonathan Rhys Myers, looks simply scrumptious, and very racy for NBC. How wonderful that this talented writer and director now has an exciting new project happening after so many Carnivale fans were left bereft… If you have not seen Carnivale, the big budget, lush, stunning historical drama about a traveling carnival during the Dustbowl/Depression era, you have no idea what dizzy, heady heights television can achieve.

A drunk driver who drove a Boston Globe delivery truck off a highway (How many Boston newspapers can this story involve? Stay tuned!) was described as having raged at a state trooper when caught out in a welfare benefits scam. But it’s the “voodoo cursing” that may be of interest... Read more
