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 embody McCammon, Francisca X. Hu, Kevin Tancharoen, and E.L. Katz, who directed the primary two episodes. Danielle Bozzone is overseeing the venture for Atomic Monster. The present is coming our method from UCP, a division of Common Studio Group.
McCulloch supplied the next assertion: “When Atomic Monster first approached me about making a sequence 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 trustworthy, I didn’t need to throw my hat within the ring. I’m not a spectacle author. I’m a less-is-more author. I gravitate extra towards what are often 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 go away me alone. I simply couldn’t cease fascinated by its razor-sharp premise, the way it unfolds over the course of a single harrowing day, and in regards to 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 method that honors the e-book and stays true to the sorts of tales I like to inform? Maintain the self-esteem. Maintain Stinger’s simplest components. Take away the massive ensemble. Take away the large set items. Even take away the e-book’s crowded city setting. The difference can be like an acoustic guitar model of, say, a Radiohead music. It gained’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 true magic on the core, all of the stuff that makes an ideal music a nice music. All of which is to say I might out of the blue see precisely what to do and learn how to do it. Two weeks later, Atomic Monster had the script for the primary episode. Quickly after that, Peacock purchased it. Not so lengthy after that, each my artistic and profession desires really began coming true as extra scripts have been written, hires made, actors solid, units constructed, and manufacturing started… In fact, throughout manufacturing the sequence modified and advanced. 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 primary few episodes and all shall be revealed. Level being, the sequence 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, in fact. However as singular, unusual, and stunning as I hope Teacup is, all it’s essential to 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 e-book Stinger, your complete staff at Atomic Monster felt a spark. The story had all of the substances for a charming sequence and Ian McCulloch had a imaginative and prescient to convey it to life in a contemporary method that was each startling and darkly atmospheric, however crammed with a wealthy sense of humanity — usually 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 real edge-of-your-seat expertise. Teacup defies straightforward 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 journey as a lot as we’ve cherished creating it!“
