AssignmentX has released another short interview featuring Bryan Fuller, this time about the in development reboot of “The Munsters” (currently being scripted for NBC). Also mentioned is another project Bryan is working on: a comedic thriller on reincarnation. I love the sound of it already!

Bryan Fuller is best known as the creator of such interesting and iconic televisions series such as WONDERFALLS and PUSHING DAISIES and why he may have left the small screen for a while, he’s coming back.

Fuller took some time off his busy WonderCon 2011 schedule to talk with ASSIGNMENT X briefly about his many irons in the fire.

“I am very excited about getting back into television as I have spent that last year writing two movies,” Fuller says.

The first film is a live action version of the classic PINOCCHIO for Warner Bros. “It is a big, live action version of the film,” he says.

The second is a subject maybe more close to Fuller’s heart in comedic thriller on reincarnation. “After I finish PINOCCHIO, I have three weeks on [his new comedic thriller] and then I begin writing THE MUNSTERS for NBC.”

Is that something that is official on the schedule at some point?

“No, it is literally just a script at this point,” Fuller says. “I wrote a script and there was a regime change at NBC. As soon as they are done with the current state of pilots, I will be getting notes on writing it from them.”

  1. Mr. FUller, I love Pushing Daisies, and I love the original Munsters. I have a few casting suggestions for your remake:

    Herman Munster… Brad Garrett
    Lily…………………… Kristin Chenoweth
    Grandpa…………….Ernest Borgnine or Abe Vigoda
    Eddie………………….Daeg Faerch
    Marilyn………………..Kristen Bell or Joanna Garcia-Swisher

    Imagine the potential. Keep up the good work.
