James Wan is government producing Teacup by way of his firm Atomic Monster, alongside Michael Clear and Rob Hackett. Yellowstone consulting producer Ian McCulloch is a author and government producer on the present. Different government producers embrace McCammon, Francisca X. Hu, Kevin Tancharoen, and E.L. Katz, who directed the first two episodes. Danielle Bozzone is overseeing the challenge for Atomic Monster. The present is coming our manner from UCP, a division of Common Studio Group.
McCulloch offered the following assertion: “When Atomic Monster first approached me about creating a series adaptation of Robert McCammon’s Stinger—a no-holds-barred, gargantuan spectacle of a novel alongside the traces of The Stand, Independence Day and Mars Assaults—to be sincere, I didn’t need to throw my hat in the ring. I’m not a spectacle author. I’m a less-is-more author. I gravitate extra towards what are generally known as keyhole epics. Giant tales informed by way of small lenses. Suppose Indicators, The Factor, A Quiet Place. However right here’s the factor. I learn Stinger and it stayed with me. Wouldn’t depart me alone. I simply couldn’t cease serious about its razor-sharp premise, the way it unfolds over the course of a single harrowing day, and about the relatable and actual household McCammon places heart stage. That’s when the flash bang-light bulb concept hit… What if I tailored Stinger in a manner that honors the ebook and stays true to the sorts of tales I like to inform? Hold the conceit. Hold Stinger’s only parts. Take away the massive ensemble. Take away the big set items. Even take away the ebook’s crowded city setting. The variation could be like an acoustic guitar model of, say, a Radiohead track. It received’t have the manufacturing worth, digital devices, loops, or synthesized bells and whistles however it can nonetheless have the melody, the construction, the lyrics, the actual magic at the core, all the stuff that makes a nice track a nice track. All of which is to say I may all of the sudden see precisely what to do and how you can do it. Two weeks later, Atomic Monster had the script for the first episode. Quickly after that, Peacock purchased it. Not so lengthy after that, each my artistic and profession desires truly began coming true as extra scripts had been written, hires made, actors solid, units constructed, and manufacturing started… After all, throughout manufacturing the series modified and developed. Simply because it ought to. Even the title’s completely different. Stinger is now Teacup. The explanations for this are too spoilery to share however watch the first few episodes and all shall be revealed. Level being, the series is now very a lot its personal factor: a puzzle-box thriller, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, a can’t-but-must look horror story, a household drama, a science fiction epic—of the keyhole selection, after all. However as singular, unusual, and stunning as I hope Teacup is, all you could do is peel away the layers, characters, conditions, and mythology and look behind the thrills, chills, hairpin turns and make-you gasp reveals. Do all that and also you’ll see, at its coronary heart, Teacup remains to be very a lot standing on the shoulders of Stinger. Simply because it ought to.“
Wan added: “After studying Robert McCammon’s ebook Stinger, the total staff at Atomic Monster felt a spark. The story had all the elements for a charming series and Ian McCulloch had a imaginative and prescient to convey it to life in a contemporary manner that was each startling and darkly atmospheric, however crammed with a wealthy sense of humanity — typically missing in edgy narratives. Add in our extremely proficient solid led by Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Speedman and Chaske Spencer and followers are in for a true edge-of-your-seat expertise. Teacup defies simple labels. It’s a genre-bending mix of horror, thriller, and drama, with layers that unfold like a charming puzzle. It goes past chills and thrills and holds up a mirror to humanity, exploring the darkness that resides inside us all. We hope you get pleasure from this wild experience as a lot as we’ve liked creating it!“
