Del Toro Producing Robert Zemeckis’ New Adaptation Of ‘The Witches’

Fast forward thirty years to today…Robert Zemeckis is currently in final negotiations with Warner Bros. to helm the new adaptation of that same 1973 novel by Roald Dahl. Zemeckis will also be penning the script along with his partner Jack Rapke. The two will be producing under their ImageMovers banner. Here’s the kicker, Guillermo del Toro will also be serving as producer along with Alfonso Cuaron, Variety reports. The film follows a seven-year-old boy who has a run-in with real witches.

In the film, based on novel series by Steve Alten, “A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon.

‘The First Purge’ Director Drew Inspiration From Real Life

This July we will witness The First Purge, from director Gerard McMurray. Recently he revealed that he found real-life inspiration that underscores the prequel’s theme of government’s abuse of power. Right now we’re living in a time where people are waking up and seeing how things really are and are needing to stand up and voice their opinion,” McMurray stated to Deadline. “As a filmmaker, showing those images and putting it out there gave me a voice to acknowledge what was going on and bring some awareness and spark dialogue about it.” He continued. “We see events that taking place in this country over the last year. I just try to use what was going on in the real world and trying to bring it into the film. I felt like horror films wrestle with the evils of real life, and that was one of the things I wanted to do with this film.”We’re fighting for real injustices [in the

Jon Bernthal’s Headed Back To “The Walking Dead”

One of the best love to hate/hate to love characters that has ever starred on “The Walking Dead” will soon be back. I’m talking about is wife-seducing, badass Shane Walsh, played by Jon Bernthal who now stars in Netflix’s “Punisher”. I know what you’re thinking, Shane died on the farm. But Bernthal has returned before, in season 3, during a hallucination scene. He’s coming back again for season 9. Today, TV Line confirmed that Bernthal will be returning as Shane once again for one episode of this upcoming season. We expect it to be in some form of a flashback or hallucination since he’s officially dead on the series. Season 9 is still months away and already a ton of bad news has already come to light, including that both Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan are leaving this season. The good news is that Norman Reedus has been offered a huge raise ($20 million) to take the lead.
