"And for some reason they went, 'Oh, great,'" McCulloch quips about Wan and his production company Atomic Monster, who approached him to tackle the adaptation., says. "The book’s a very big book. It’s got a lot of set pieces, a lot of characters. What I wanted to do was take all that away and keep the ideas of the book."McCulloch adds, "I wanted to make something where even if you read the book, you don’t know what’s gonna happen.
Just how scary will the horror series be? "At the end of the day it's a drama," Wan tells EW, but there's also "some pretty creepy messed up things in this."Speedman says he had to "convince" McCulloch to let him be part of the project, while Strahovski admits she was initially "a little on the fence about doing something that was a genre piece, an ongoing series.
