Refuge
Bloody-Disgusting has word Jason Flemyng, Raza Jaffrey, Sophie Simnett, Johanna Harlin and Aston McAuley have joined the cast of Renny Harlin’s latest film, Refuge, in which “a U.S. military veteran returns home changed and dangerous after a tour of duty in Afghanistan where he suffered an attack by a mysterious force. While officials dismiss his behaviour as PTSD, and order trauma therapy, Rick’s wife Kate discovers her husband has been possessed by a malevolent spirit.”
Abraham’s Boys
According to Deadline, Natasha Kermani (Lucky) will direct a feature adaptation of Joe Hill’s short story, Abraham’s Boys, for Tea Shop Productions. Though the original story followed Max and Rudy Van Helsing — the children of Abraham Van Helsing — as their father became increasingly more deranged, Kermani’s adaptation will “explore the boys’ trauma through the eyes of a young Asian woman who is no stranger to death.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
James Gunn is now storyboarding Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
It actually made me laugh every time Kurt said it, as did Rocket sadly touching his face afterwards, wondering if it really is shaped like a triangle. As I’m drawing storyboards right this moment for Vol 3, a tedious task, it’s good to be reminded of these enjoyable moments. https://t.co/OrhEWVSJtQ
