Millie Bobby Brown Auditioned For ‘Logan’ Before Landing ‘Stranger Things’ Role

Millie Bobby Brown, aka Eleven from Stranger Things and the kid who rapped “Monster” on Jimmy Fallon, had a huge year in 2016, landing worldwide fame and a starring role in the upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters. But before she played a little girl with strange powers on Stranger Things, Brown auditioned for a different little girl with strange powers on Logan. X-23, who was eventually played to great effect by Daphne Keen, is a little badass with all the powers of Wolverine; healing factor, unbreakable bones, and of course most famously some vicious claws. While Brown kills a good handful of soldiers on Stranger Things, Eleven never shows half the viciousness of the throat slicing, eyeball gouging X-23. Keen was great in the role, but I can’t be alone and wondering what Brown would have brought to the role. Logan/Stranger Things cross over anyone? Probably not, but a man can dream.

Another Spin-Off For The Conjuring 2 ?

The Conjuring is headed towards being the franchise with the most spin-offs in history. There is possibly another spin-off on its way. And no, I’m not talking about Annabelle 2: Creation or The Nun. Annabelle: Creation producer Peter Safran said something very interesting while talking with JoBlo recently. He said that it is a possibility that the “Crooked Man” from The Conjuring 2 may get a film of his own. “…I suspect a movie with him would be really really cool.” He continued, “…we have some interesting ideas for him. So we’ll see.” The creepy long-legged entity, played by Javier Botet, was not CGI like many thought. That was just Botet in a skin tight suit. Safran explains, “None of it was CG. It was 100% practical. That actor just looks like that, we created an amazing wardrobe for him. Skin tight latex-basically suit.” I could definitely see a whole film based on the character, he is creepy as hell.

James Wan To Direct The First Film In The RESIDENT EVIL Franchise Reboot

A few days we informed you that just as Resident Evil: the Final Chapter was released on DVD, a reboot of the franchise is already in the works. Today, we have a update. News has come that genre heavy-hitter James Wan will be in the director’s chair for the first film of six that is planned. Wan is behind films such as The Conjuring, Insidious, Saw, and Annabelle. While the thought of another reboot doesn’t thrill me, I am a huge fan of Wan. Could he improve the story? Yes, probably, but I’m just not sure that horror fans really want to see six new Resident Evil films. Not to mention, fans have grown to know and love the main character Alice (Milla Jovovich) are they really interested in seeing someone else play the role or see a different character all together? Jovovich had this to say when asked for her opinion on the reboots by ComicBook.com: They’ve announced a
