Last Updated on July 31, 2021

It was only a few weeks ago that we shared with you guys the news that SINISTER director Scott Derrickson was going to taking the helm of the recently announced Hulu series LOCK & KEY, based on the comic series by Joe Hill.

Well, today it looks like there has been a changing of the guard, as Derrickson has exited the pilot and made room for STEPHEN KING'S IT Andy Muschietti to step in and handle things from here on out.

Derrickson supposedly wanted to continue with the pilot but was forced to step out as scheduling conflicts with his work directing the pilot on TNT's SNOWPEIRCER got more and more in the way.

Who do you think could create a better pilot episode of Joe Hill's Locke & Keye, Muschietti or Derrickson? Let us know what you think of this director switch-up on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!
