Raise a one-fingered salute to a new look at Lorcan Finnegan’s Vivarium. Shawn Levy talks shutting down Stranger Things during the covid-19 pandemic. Plus, a few more very familiar faces return in new Supernatural pictures, and Alex gets downright superheroic in a new look at Supergirl. Spoilers, away!
Vivarium
Bloody-Disgusting has several new images from Lorcan Finnegan’s starter-home-horror-film, Vivarium. Head over there to see the rest.
Mutant Blast
A humanoid lobster battles a mutated dolphin in this (gory!) trailer for Troma’s Mutant Blast.
Loki
As noted by Murphy’s Multiverse, the Loki IMDB page—so, have a little scepticism at least—now credits several stunt performers with playing “Minutemen,” the official time police of the Marvel Universe. It’d make sense, given where we left him off coming out of Avengers: Endgame!
Stranger Things
Shawn Levy recently spoke to Variety about the “bittersweet” decision to halt production on the fourth season of Stranger Things.
I was having phone calls with Netflix while directing takes and blocking scenes. We shared the news with our cast and crew that we would be pausing production out of an abundance of caution. There were no sick crew members, no one was exhibiting symptoms, but it seemed like the right thing to do.
When you’re shooting, you create this micro society, this community. You’re aware of the world beyond, but in all of my years directing and producing, I’m hard pressed to come up with any comparisons for this truly global situation.
Siren
Spoiler TV has synopses for the first two episodes of Siren’s third season.
