What is Penny Dreadful, I hear you ask? It’s possible one of the biggest and most ambitious television shows of 2014, and is brought to the screen by SKYFALL helmer Sam Mendes and John Logan, who wrote HUGO for Scorsese and GLADIATOR for Ridley Scott.
In “Penny Dreadful,” some of literature’s most famously terrifying characters including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and iconic figures from the novel Dracula have become embroiled in Victorian London.
It sounds awesome doens’t it? The first two episodes of the shoe are directed by the guy that brought us this past year’s THE IMPOSSIBLE and the creepy THE ORPHANAGE, Juan Antonio Bayona.
Josh Hartnett, Eva Green, Timothy Dalton, Reeve Carney, Rory Kinnear, Harry Treadaway, Billie Piper and Danny Sapani star.
Below we have the first teaser for the show, as well as an interesting production blog for your viewing pleasure. Expect this to hit TV screens on Showtime in the US in the Spring, and the UK around the same time.
