            It seems that we have another television show being developed based on a movie with Spike TV joining the narrative television sphere with The Mist. The movie of the same name that was released in 2007 was directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) and starred Thomas Jane and Marcia Gay Harden. The property though is based on the Stephen King novella and we have the first trailer for the SpikeTV show right here.

            The series comes ten years after the feature film was released and follows a small town worried about a mysterious mist that takes over. The terrified townspeople are driven to craziness and chaos before discovering that whether they’re inside or outside, they will be affected by the weather conditions that hide monsters of all kinds. We can see with the trailer that the show doesn’t follow the same grocery store setting but spreads all across the city to elongate the television series. This seems to be a strategic move to separate itself from the movie, completely.

            Check out the trailer below for SpikeTV’s The Mist! The series stars Morgan Spector, Alyssa Sutherland, Gus Birney, Danica Curcic, Okezie Morro and Luke Cosgrove. The Mist premieres on SpikeTV on June 22^nd.
