Sleepy Hollow Trailer Resurrects Ichabod Crane For Orci & Kurtzman's New Drama
While Hollywood continues to mine the more popular young adult series for feature adaptations, TV seems keen on digging into the archives to toy with the classics. NBC has Dracula paired with Grimm on Friday nights this fall, and over at Fox, Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, along with Phillip Iscove and Len Wiseman, have resurrected Ichabod Crane and the infamous Headless Horseman from Washington Irving's classic tale. As you may have surmised from the above trailer, this is a modern-day take on the story, with the lead character brought 250 years into the future where the Horseman is riding again… and there's a Starbucks on every corner.
The series stars Tom Mison, Nicole Beharie, Orlando Jones and Katia Winter.
This modern-day retelling of a classic may be one of the more ambitious drama endeavors headed for network television next season, but with Orci and Kurtzman behind it, the show is in good hands. Beyond the intriguing plot and the promise of mysteries set to unfold and a very promising cast, there's also a glimpse of humor here, which may work well to offset the otherwise dark nature of the plot and origin story.
Along with Almost Human, Fox has Sleepy Hollow ready to ride on Monday nights this fall.
