Star Of Tim Burton’s “Wednesday” Addams Series Teases What Fans Can Expect

Hot off the heels of her roles in 2022’s Scream, Jenna Ortega is set to play the iconic character Wednesday Addams in Tim Burton‘s upcoming live-action series “Wednesday,” which will premiere exclusively on Netflix. Described as a “spooky coming-of-age” story, the series’ star talked with The Hollywood Reporter about her role. “To step into the shoes of somebody who’s a bit more eccentric and frightening has been really exciting for me, and definitely a challenge — especially with such a beloved character, I really want to take care of her and do her justice.” Ortega explains, “The thing is, there are several different paths that anyone could have taken for this character,” the actress continues. “We’ve never seen Wednesday Addams as a teenage girl, so some of her harsh mannerisms may come off as hilarious when she’s younger, but as you get older, how much of that can you get away with? Or how do you keep that at the

From the team behind the fantastic natural disaster films, The Quake and The Wave comes The Burning Sea, whose action-packed trailer has just surfaced, teasing an intense, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride. “In 1969, the Norwegian government announces their discovery of one of the world’s largest oil fields in the neighboring North Sea, launching a prosperous period of offshore drilling. 50 years later, the environmental consequences begin to manifest – a crack has opened on the ocean floor, causing a rig to collapse. A team of researchers, including submarine operator Sofia, rushes in to search for the missing and assess the cause of the damage, but what they discover is that this is just the start of a possible apocalyptic catastrophe.

Vampires, The Underused Gaming Trope

It’s perhaps fair to say that, for all their fame, vampires have never been a popular villain in media – or, at least, nowhere near as popular as zombies, murderous mountain folk, or mutant monsters. This might have something to do with their classical portrayal as rather cultured, singular people, which doesn’t exactly create the same kind of nightmare scenario as hordes of the undead. Limited Options Of course, there are plenty of vampire stories that have managed to make an effective evil out of our long-toothed friends. Books like Salem’s Lot by Stephen King and Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire stand alongside a raft of films such as Let Me In, 30 Days of Night, and the inexplicably popular Twilight saga, which was shunned by almost every studio before going on to make US$3.3bn. In gaming, though, vampires never really took off as a concept. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim added a menacing cult and the ability to
