Don’t Look Up
According to Deadline, Adam McKay is attached to direct Don’t Look Up at Paramount, a “dark satire in the school of Wag the Dog, Doctor Strangelove and Network” in which “two mid-level astronomers discover a meteorite will destroy earth in six months and must go on a media tour to warn mankind.”
Fantasy Island
Bloody-Disgusting has a poster and synopsis for the upcoming “horror-tinged” Fantasy Island movie from Blumhouse.
The Enigmatic Mr. Roarke (played by Michael Peña) makes the secret dreams of his lucky guests come true at a luxurious but remote tropical resort. But when the fantasies turn into nightmares, the guests have to solve the island’s mystery in order to escape with their lives.
Halo
Danny Sapani, Olive Grey, and Charlie Murphy are the latest to join the cast of Halo as series regulars. Sapani will play Captain Jacob Keyes, “a dedicated military man, a war hero and a caring father” who “finds that working alongside his daughter and his ex-wife is usually the cause of conflict rather than comfort” while Grey has been cast as Dr. Miranda Keyes, “a brilliant UNSC Commander who is dedicated to understanding the technology, language and culture of the Covenant, but she’ll have to learn to navigate the politics of the UNSC to get what she wants.” Murphy will play Makee, “an orphaned human who was raised by the alien Covenant and shares their contempt for humanity.”
