Kelly Marcel (Venom, Cruella) is the writer and showrunner of an upcoming adaptation of the Victor LaValle novel “The Changeling” that’s headed to Apple TV+, Deadline reports.
Melina Matsoukas (Queen & Slim) will direct, with LaKeith Stanfield (Get Out, Knives Out, Judas and The Black Messiah) starring. The series from Annapurna and Apple Studios is described as “a fairytale for grown-ups. A horror story, a parenthood fable and a perilous odyssey through a New York City you didn’t know existed.”
Deadline recaps the book…
“When Apollo — the role that Stanfield will be playing — and Emma have their baby, Brian, it feels like both a reward and a challenge for the new dad. Apollo, the son of a single mother, had been scraping by as a bookseller who hunts estate and garage sales for rare first editions, so even the unusual circumstance of Brian’s birth (on a stalled subway train) seems like a blessing, as does the way Apollo stumbles across a first edition of To Kill a Mockingbird (inscribed by Harper Lee to Truman Capote, no less) shortly thereafter. But after some young-parent squabbles and inexplicable images on their smartphones foreshadow trouble, the story turns nightmarish: Apollo finds himself tied up and beaten by Emma, then forced to listen to the sounds of Brian’s murder.”
Stanfield and Marcel are also on board to executive produce.
