‘Aquaman’ Jason Momoa Teases ‘The Crow’ Remake

At the beginning of this month, we reported that The Crow remake might actually be happening after a series of directors and actors backed out of the project in the past. Earlier in the year, we told you that Aquaman star Jason Momoa was attached to the project but there had been little news since, until now. Yesterday Momoa teased that he and director Corin Hardy are still interested in making the film by sharing a painting of The Crow on Instagram with the caption: “I’ve been waiting for sooooo long. @corinhardy let’s do this brother aloha j” https://www.instagram.com/p/BbZp_dWHBO9/?hl=en&taken-by=prideofgypsies The remake is said the be titled The Crow: Reborn and is rumored to be a more direct adaption of James O’Barr’s graphic novel.

See How Well “Stranger Things” Star Finn Wolfhard Know’s His 80’s Horror

“Stranger Things” is a series that is certainly…inspired (cough a rip-off cough) by supernatural cinema of the 80’s. It’s a safe bet that series creators and show runners the Duffer Brother’s know big hair generation horror pretty well, but how does series star Finn Wolfhard hold up? Well, he know’s more horror than most 14 year olds. Knowing what “The Shining” is isn’t bad for a moppy haired pre-teen, especially when most kids these days can name more emojis than they can books. Maybe Stephen King is a little mature for the teenie bopper crowd, but hey, I read Stephen King and middle school and turned out fine….I think.

It has been 17 years since we met Samuel L. Jackson’s character Mr. Glass and Bruce Willis’ David Dunn in M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable.

Today, we have the first image of Samuel L Jackson reprising his role in Glass, the sequel to both Unbreakable and Split, which began filming in Philidelphia last month. “Following the conclusion of Split, Glass finds David Dunn pursuing Kevin Wendell Crumb’s superhuman figure of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Elijah Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.” Anya Taylor-Joy who escaped “The Beast” is Split will also be reprising her role as Casey Cooke.

Is This The End Of Universal’s Dark Universe?

Just 5 months after Universal released the first teaser image of some of the stars of their upcoming new Dark Universe film franchise the duo of Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan, hired to be the architects of the universe, have exited the project according to THR. The teaser included A-list actors like Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, and Russel Crowe and was meant to hook fans on the revival of characters like the Invisible Man, Wolf Man, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Unfortunately, none of the planned remakes looks to still be alive and kicking. Universal even halted the filming of Bride of Frankenstein which had already begun production in London. Reportedly, the halt was due to execs feeling that the script written by director Bill Condon wasn’t ready. After viewers failed to get wrapped up in The Mummy, the first film of the franchise, it isn’t particularly surprising that they have put the venture on hold. Universal’s president

Don Mancini Teases That We Will See Chucky, Tiffany And Glen/Glenda Again

There was one thing missing from Cult of Chucky which was released last month. That’s Chucky and Tiffany’s spawn, Glen/Glenda who we met in Seed of Chucky. It left fans wondering where the little bugger was. Child’s Play creator, writer, and frequent director, Don Mancini was recently interviewed by Mezco. They asked Mancini about Billy Boyd, the voice of Glen/Glenda. The director had a simple but vague response: All I can say is…STAY TUNED!” When they asked about the future of the franchise he stated, “Expect the unexpected. Though not as unexpected as say, Chucky not being in the movie. I’d say you could expect that.” There have already been rumors of another sequel in the works and Mancini’s comments pretty much prove that we’ll see Chucky, Tiffany and Glen/Glenda together again. The response from fans over Cult of Chucky was enough to prove to the film industry that there is still interest in seeing the possessed doll again, and

Normally, I’m not a huge fan of remakes but that’s if they don’t have anything new to bring to the story.” The Twisted Twins said. “We have a unique perspective just because of who we are to tell the story from Rose’s eyes as well as make a commentary on the increasingly rabid world that we live in. Also, we’ve been dying to get back into body horror. Ten years into David’s filmmaking career, he remade The
