Bryan On Bryan On Munster

Some groovy new news on Bryan Fuller's Munsters rebootening:

"NBC’s The Munsters will be brought to you by The Bryans. X-Men and Superman Returns helmer Bryan Singer is finalizing a deal to direct and executive produce Bryan Fuller’s reboot of the 1960s comedy, which recently received a pilot order by NBC. Universal Television is producing the project, described as an imaginative reinvention of The Munsters as a visually spectacular one-hour drama. Singer, who had been interested in the project since before it got the greenlight by NBC two weeks ago, will executive produce with Fuller."

I'm curious to see how these fellows mesh, since Singer tends towards the more serious manly entertainments with the Supermans and X-Men and Valkyries and Usual Suspects... although I can't help but wonder if he won't be trending lighter when his next movie Jack the Giant Killer comes along, since that's a project that begs for a lightness of touch... while Fuller's shows have been snappier and brighter... although they both do tend towards heavy stylization... and maybe Fuller's trending darker, what with his Hannibal Lecter show also possibly on the horizon... this sentence just keeps going and going, doesn't it? Anyway I have met both of these people! Wow!
