NBC announced last week that they have begun early development on several new projects including an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, “Tommyknockers” as well as a modern retelling of popular horror novel and film, “Rosemary’s Baby.”

Based on the 1987 novel about how the residents of a small Maine town deal with what they believe is an alien spacecraft that has landed nearby. Executive producers are Frank Konigsberg and Larry Sanitsky. Emmy Award winner Yves Simoneau (“Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee”) is attached to direct.

NBC will also be adapting “Rosemary’s Baby” in what they have described as an updated retelling. “Rosemary’s Baby” will be a four-hour adaptation of the bestselling novel by Ira Levin that was later adapted as a feature film about devil worship and the complex relationship between a young husband and wife. In the new version, the couple lives in Paris where this edge-of-your-seat thriller unfolds. Lionsgate is the production company. Scott Abbott (“Introducing Dorothy Dandridge,” “Winchell”) will serve as writer on “Rosemary’s Baby.” Executive producers are Joshua Maurer, David Stern, Perri Kipperman and Alix Witlin.

There is no word yet on when these adaptations will air or who is set to star in either of the projects.
