Miranda Otto has been cast to star in Locke & Key, produced by Star Trek XI‘s Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
Locke & Key is based on Joe Hill‘s comic of the same name. In Locke & Key, Nina Locke (Otto) and her three children “survive an unspeakable horror and attempt to rebuild their lives at Keyhouse, their family home in Lovecraft, Massachusetts.”
Fans eager for the sequel to Star Trek XI will be pleased to hear that the script should be completed very soon.
Star Trek XII, written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof, is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Star Trek fans are abuzz with speculation after the revelation of the race of a potential female character that may appear in Star Trek XII.
Last month, a meeting to plot out Star Trek XII included J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Bryan Burk and out of that meeting came a hint as to one of the characters to appear in the film.
The sequel to the popular Star Trek XI is being written, and the pressure is on for writers Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof.
When Star Trek XI was being written, expectations were different than they are now making writing for it easier and less stressful. “We are in the process; it is being written,” said Lindelof. “There’s a tremendous amount of pressure because expectations, I felt, were a little bit low the last time. Now they’re high – but that brings its own level of excitement. So, you know, I hope that we do the fans proud.”
According to TrekMovie.com, work has begun on writing the script for Star Trek XII.
Last week, Roberto Orci tweeted about beginning work on the script. “To do list: get groceries, do laundry, start writing Star Trek, walk dogs, get new book to read, vote…”
Orci confirmed with TrekMovie that he has begun work on that script along with Alex Kurtzman. “Fingers have been put to keyboard,” he said.
Star Trek XII will release on June 29, 2012.
In the 200th issue of SFX Magazine, published in the UK, J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman discuss what may or may not happen in Star Trek XII.

Back in February, TrekToday reported that Star Trek XI co-writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci would be working on an adaptation of Locke & Key and it was expected to be made into a movie.
An update to this news reveals that the adaptation will be a television project instead.
A meeting with screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada) has led to another project for Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to produce for DreamWorks Studios via their Kurtzman Orci Paper Products production company.
