Untitled Horror Movie
Filming has wrapped on Untitled Horror Movie, a found footage horror-comedy from Nick Simon (The Girl in the Photographs) starring Arrow‘s Katherine McNamara, Claire Holt, Kal Penn, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Timothy Granaderos, Kevin Daniels, Sohm Kapila, and Luke Baines. The story concerns six actors from a television series facing cancellation who “decide to film their own horror movie. In their search for a plot, they unintentionally summon a spirit with an affinity for violence, who starts picking them off”¦one vapid actor at a time.” [Bloody-Disgusting]

We also have a new trailer for André Øvredal’s superhero movie, Mortal, releasing direct-to-VOD August 4 in the UK.
Metamorphosis
A demon targets an exorcist’s brother in the trailer for Metamorphosis, premiering July 3 on Shudder.
Star Trek: Picard
Gates McFadden is the latest TNG alum to admit that ” while there are no firm plans just yet ” she’s more than likely going to return as Beverly Crusher.
Well, I don’t know. There’s a good chance, let’s put it that way. But I have no contract signed.
The actress also pondered what Crusher’s return could mean for Picard… romantically:
I think that Patrick made a decision at some point that he was opening it up to other relationships in our show, and in the movies, certainly. So I can’t imagine that it’s suddenly going to be different, but it doesn’t mean that there’s not a relationship there. Obviously, from our all of our scenes, there is a relationship and that’s great. So who knows? I have no clue, but it would it would be lovely.
