Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends
Jamie Lee Curtis revealed the plans for the next entries in the Halloween series:
“What I love that David [Gordon Green] and Danny [McBride] and company did is they connected the dots for forty years, now they’re going back to really unpack the first movie, bringing back all those characters whose lives were affected by what happened in 1978.”
“The last movie is the sort of cultural phenomenon of violence, that’s what the third movie ultimately is, a very powerful examination of violence…It comes at it from a slightly different way. You’ll like it…If you believe in me at all, I promise you what David Gordon Green has come up with as a way to complete this trilogy is sensational.”
The Batman
No, Rhianna isn’t going to be Poison Ivy, despite what Instagram might have you believe:
“Oh that?! Really? That!? Are you serious? No that has nothing to do with Poison Ivy. That [post] has to do a lot with Batman [because] I have separate obsessions. I have bigger obsession with Poison Ivy, I’m just being honest. And yeah, I died my hair red because of Uma Thurman in the original. You know what, they didn’t call me yet. But if they did, I would love to go in and try out because Poison Ivy is one of my obsessions in life. I did it for Halloween one year, I mean come on!”
Fantastic Beasts 3
Eddie Redmayne told Cinema Blend “literally nothing” about the third Fantastic Beasts film. Well, because J.K. Rowling is working on a script:
“Well, we’re meant to start shooting in the beginning of next year. The script is still being worked on. That’s nothing — I’m literally giving you nothing! I’m trying to do that thing of talking about it and saying nothing, because of the fear of getting told off. But no, it’s happening, and it’s really exciting.”
A Christmas Carol
The Hollywood Reporter has word that Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds have joined a musical that is retelling A Christmas Carol from directors Sean Anders and John Morris (who are known for Daddy’s Home).
Battlestar Galactica
Sam Esmail, the man behind Mr. Robot, has been tapped to resurrect sci-fi classic, Battlestar Galactica, for NBCUniversal’s streaming service, Peacock. Esmail took to Twitter to clarify it’s not a remake:
BSG fans, this will NOT be a remake of the amazing series @RonDMoore launched because… why mess with perfection? Instead, we’ll explore a new story within the mythology while staying true to the spirit of Battlestar. So say we all!
