We talked to Christian Slater and Joy Bryant about The Spiderwick Chronicles.
The Spiderwick Chronicles is debuting on The Roku Channel this weekend, and it marks the latest adaptation of Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black's beloved book series. There was a film adaptation of the books back in 2008, but the new show's stars promise the upcoming series will be quite different. ComicBook.com recently had the chance to chat with some of the show's cast, including Christian Slater and Joy Bryant .
"I think a few people were surprised." Slater shared with a laugh."There is an element of darkness. I mean, it's scary. We were scared while making it. I mean, the special effects team did an incredible job creating the Mulgarath creature ... We were shooting out in the woods a lot of the time, and it was cold, it was rainy. And there was this 8-foot creature walking around and would sneak up on us and legitimately scare the heck out of us.
The cast of The Spiderwick Chronicles includes Joy Bryant, Lyon Daniels, Noah Cottrell, Mychala Lee, Jack Dylan Grazer, Christian Slater, and Alyvia Alyn Lind. The series is showrun by Aron Eli Coleite, with executive producers including Coleite, Kat Coiro, Tony DiTerlizzi, Holly Black, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, D.J. Goldberg, Julie Kane-Ritsch, and Grace Gilroy.
Why Did Disney+ Cancel The Spiderwick Chronicles?In a surprising move, many brand-new shows and movies have been scrapped by various studios despite already completing production. This started happening in 2022 with the Batgirl film, and it's a trend that has become a big topic of conversation. Last year, Deadline reported that Disney+ decided not to move forward with the already-completed Spiderwick Chronicles "amid a focus on content curation and Disney-owned IP.
"We are in the process of reviewing the content on our DTC services to align with the strategic changes in our approach to content curation," Disney CFO Christine McCarthy explained in May."As a result, we will be removing certain content from our streaming platforms, and currently expect to take an impairment charge of approximately $1.5 to $1.8 billion."The Spiderwick Chronicles debuts on The Roku Channel on April 19th.
