Add another Stephen King adaptation to the pile, courtesty of Andy and Barbara Muschetti. Teagan Croft shows off more of Raven’s familiar new look for Titans season two. Plus, tons of new clips from the horrifying Banana Splits movie, behind-the-scenes on Two Sentence Horror Stories, and a new DC’s World’s Finest is formed on the CW. Spoilers, away!
Realm of Shadows
Bloody-Disgusting reports Tony Todd will star as a Catholic priest in Realm of Shadows, a brand-new horror anthology from directors Jimmy Drain and Brian McCulley. Co-starring Vida Ghaffari, Denise Gurule, Lauren C. Mayhew, Jodi Lynn Thomas, Gregg Stone, Caustic Scifidelic, Mark Fowler and Noah Anderson, the film’s interwoven narratives surround a Cryptkeeper-esque entity called Master Makin (Ghaffari) “the mysterious owner of a haunted vault.”
Roadwork
Appearing as guests on Radio Cantillo, Andy and Barbara Muschietti revealed they plan to produce a film adaptation of Stephen King’s Roadwork, in which a grieving man is driven to psychosis after learning the construction of a new highway has scheduled his home and workplace for demolition. In the words of Barbara Muschietti, “It’s a fantastic script. We hope to start shooting at the beginning of next year.”
Synchronic
Entertainment Weekly has our first look at Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan in Synchronic, an upcoming sci-fi/horror in which “two New Orleans paramedics encounter a series of horrific deaths linked to a designer drug” with otherworldly effects.
The Banana Splits Movie
The Banana Splits are makin’ up a mess of fun in several new clips from their unexpected new horror movie.
Zombieland: Double Tap
Emma Stone doesn’t care much for Zoey Deutch, either, in this French trailer for Retour à Zombieland.
The Addams Family
The secret origin of Lurch is revealed in the U.K. trailer for The Addams Family, including both new and alternate footage.
Loki
FandomWire claims that, to perhaps the surprise of very few, the Disney+ Loki MCU spinoff series will ultimately serve as a lead-in to the events of Thor: Love & Thunder. The outlet has also acquired an alleged production logline for the series, which, if true, confirms Loki follows an incarnation of the character from a divergent timeline created in Avengers: Endgame.
[Loki] follows Loki after the events in Avengers: Endgame as the trickster who uses the power of the Tesseract to travel throughout human history and change historical events.
Titans
Actress Teagan Croft revealed on Instagram her character, Raven, will enjoy a new look more in line with her aesthetic from the comics and beloved animated series.
Arrow
Speaking with TVLine at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, showrunner Marc Guggenheim revealed “a lot of logistical hurdles” will have to be crossed in order to film the series finale of Arrow.
I came out of meditation one morning and I had the whole last scene — and it’s a brand-new scene. There are a lot of logistical hurdles that have to be crossed in order to shoot that scene. It’s not like we can just film it tomorrow. The thing that I’ve sort of always told myself about the finale was that I wouldn’t be so rigid about my plan that I wouldn’t leave myself open to other ideas. Had I not left myself open, I wouldn’t have written the scene I wrote, which I really, really like.
In the event Guggenheim “can’t make this work”, he plans to share the relevant script pages on Twitter the night of the series’ finale.
If we can’t make this work, I’ll post the script pages on the night of the finale. But I hope we get to put it to camera. ???? https://t.co/cSVpfpyWVh
