The Northman
In a recent interview with Collider, Bill Skarsgård revealed “a scheduling nightmare” has forced him to drop of out Robert Egger’s The Northman.
It’s been a scheduling nightmare during COVID. It is what it is. It’s a big shame. Eggers is one of the great filmmakers out there and working with my brother…I don’t want to talk about it, it’s going to make me burst into tears.
No One Gets Out Alive
Deadline reports Cristina Rodlo and Marc Menchaca will star in a film adaptation of Adam Nevill’s horror novel No One Gets Out Alive at Netflix. The story recounts the experiences of “an immigrant in search of the American dream who, after being forced to take a room in a boarding house, finds herself in a nightmare she can’t escape.”Andy Serkis and Jonathan Cavendish’s Imaginarium Productions are attached to produce.
Alien 6
Speaking with Forbes, Ridley Scott stated it’s “doubtful” future films in the Alien franchise will revisit characters, themes and ideas introduced in either Prometheus or Alien: Covenant.
That’s in process. We went down a route to try and reinvent the wheel with Prometheus and Covenant. Whether or not we go directly back to that is doubtful because Prometheus woke it up very well. But you know, you’re asking fundamental questions like, ‘Has the Alien himself, the facehugger, the chestburster, have they all run out of steam? Do you have to rethink the whole bloody thing and simply use the word to franchise?’ That’s always the fundamental question.
Shazam 2
Appearing as a guest on Dan Fogler’s 4D Xperience, Zachary Levi revealed Shazam 2 plans to begin filming early next year.
They announced that we were gonna do a sequel pretty much right after we premiered. They knew we were tracking well enough, they were happy enough with the numbers. So they have been steadily and earnestly working on the script for the sequel and I think Q1 of next year is the idea.
COVID has kind of made everything a little bit up in the air, but very much the intent is to make another one. We gotta get to it fast, the kids are growing fast.
It was gonna be April 2022 and then they pushed [the date], partly because of COVID, I think. I’m actually quite grateful — I think a November release is a better calendar [spot]. Hopefully, we can kind of float and keep it going into the holidays. Aquaman had that right-before-Christmas release and [grossed] a billion-plus dollars.
