Plus, Jennifer Pierce suits up on Black Lightning, another Aquaman clip, and a first look at Playmobil: The Movie. Spoilers, go!

The DCEU

Jason Momoa, sudden unofficial spokesaquaman for the DCEU, stated Henry Cavill is “absolutely not” stepping down as Superman in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.

Absolutely not. He loves the character, and he’s not. 100%.


Tremors 7

Michael Gross announced on Facebook he will once again reprise his role as Burt Gummer for a seventh instalment in the Tremors franchise.

Tremors fans will be delighted to know I have just agreed to the terms of a contract for a SEVENTH film. My best estimate is that Burt Gummer will begin his hunt for Graboids and other nefarious forms of wildlife in the fall of 2019.


Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Bloody Disgusting reports D.J. Caruso (The Disappointments Room; Disturbia) is currently in talks to direct Paramount’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? movie from screenwriter Gary Dauberman.


To Be Read Backwards

Meanwhile, Deadline reports Noah Hawley is set to direct a film adaptation of the Matthew Baker short story, To Be Read Backwards, concerning a man living life in reverse after gaining sapience at the moment of his own death.


Jurassic World 3

Speaking with Jurassic Outpost, Colin Trevorrow heartbreakingly revealed the next Jurassic World movie will not focus on dinosaurs destroying major cities.

I just have no idea what would motivate dinosaurs to terrorize a city. They can’t organise. Right now we’ve got lethal predators in wild areas surrounding cities all over the world. They don’t go pack hunting for humans in urban areas. The world I get excited about is the one where it’s possible that a dinosaur might run out in front of your car on a foggy backroad, or invade your campground looking for food. A world where dinosaur interaction is unlikely but possible—the same way we watch out for bears or sharks. We hunt animals, we traffic them, we herd them, we breed them, we invade their territory and pay the price, but we don’t go to war with them. If that was the case, we’d have lost that war a long time ago.


Prisoners of the Ghostland

During his masterclass at the 3rd International Film Festival & Awards in Macau, Nicolas Cage hyped Sion Sono’s English-language debut as “the wildest movie” he’s “ever made”.

I’m thrilled about it! It’s unlike anything I’ve ever read before. It might be the wildest movie I’ve ever made, and that’s saying something. It’s out there. I wear a skintight black leather jumpsuit with grenades attached to different body parts, and if I don’t rescue the governor’s daughter from this state line where they’re all ghosts and bring her back they’re gonna blow me up. It’s just crazy. It’s way out there.”

Pennyworth

In a rave review, Splash Report’s Austin Chavez describes the alleged pilot script for the Alfred Pennyworth spinoff as a “daring” and “ R-rated” series, set in a “neon-soaked”, “alternate reality post-WW2 dystopic Britain” that pits the eponymous butler against the Raven Society, “a secretive group akin to the Court of Owls mixed with the Illuminati and Falcone crime family.” Chavez goes on to praise the series’ villain, Bet Sykes, who “strangely uses a Jaguar (the car) as her weapon of choice” and “forces [a] prisoner to dance with her to an upbeat pop song.” Take this all with a liberal pinch of salt, of course.


Gotham
