Robopocalypse/6 Underground

Michael Bay has reportedly signed on to direct two films in direct succession of one another. The first, 6 Underground, is described as “The Rock meets Suicide Squad,” according to Variety reporter Justin Kroll on Twitter. Afterward, Bay will direct the film adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson’s man vs machine novel, Robopocalypse — a project which has previously been attached to the likes of Stephen Spielberg, Drew Goddard, Chris Hemsworth, Anne Hathaway and Ben Whishaw since talks of an adaptation first arose in 2010.

Lovecraft Country

Yann Demange has been hired to direct all episodes of HBO’s adaptation of the Matt Ruff novel for executive producers Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams.

The Outpost

TV Line reports the CW has ordered a new ten-hour fantasy/sci-fi miniseries from Stargate creators Dean Devlin and Jonathan Glassner. Here’s the official synopsis:

Years after her entire village is destroyed by a gang of brutal mercenaries, Talon travels to a lawless fortress on the edge of the civilized world, as she tracks the killers of her family. On her journey to this outpost, Talon discovers she possesses a mysterious supernatural power that she must learn to control in order to save herself, and defend the world against a fanatical religious dictator.

Jessica Green will star as Talon, while Jake Stormoen, Imogen Waterhouse, Andrew Howard, Anand Desai-Barochia and Robyn Malcolm will co-star in undisclosed supporting roles.


Judge Dredd: Mega-City One

In a recent interview with JoBlo, Karl Urban confirmed he’s still interested in playing Judge Dredd — and who can blame him?

In fact, there’s so much interest in that particular character and I would dearly love to have the opportunity to get in there and play that again. There are so many wonderful stories in the 2000 A.D./Judge Dredd canon that we’d be remiss not to have the opportunity to tell them. If it were up to me personally we would have been making Dredd 2 two years ago.

The rights holders [Producer Brian Jenkins and Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley ] are in their process of developing their show called Mega-City One and we’ve had many discussions and the ball’s in their court. Hopefully, they get it together and are able to deliver more of what the audience wants and it would certainly be a privilege and a pleasure to be a part of it.


Once Upon a Time

Beverly Elliott revealed she’ll be making at least one more appearance before the series finale on her official Instagram.

Jessica Jones

Speaking with TV Guide, Rachael Taylor referred to the episode reintroducing the psychic imprint of Kilgrave as “one of the deepest, darkest episodes” of the season. In the words of Carrie-Anne Moss:

I think someone like him, even though he’s dead, [he] doesn’t just disappear. [He] leaves an energy. He’s left his mark, so we get to see that, what that means.


Fear the Walking Dead
