‘The Exorcist: Believer’ Compelled To Change Premiere Date Thanks To Taylor Swift

In a time where movies and series are being delayed due to the Hollywood strike, the release date for one of the most highly anticipated horror films of the year has just been moved up. I’m talking about David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer. The reason for the move is a bit surprising. Jason Blum was compelled to swap dates because he doesn’t want the film to go up against the movie Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which lands in theaters and on AMC on the 13th. Blum took to Twitter to make the announcement. Look what you made me do. The Exorcist: Believer moves to 10/6/23#TaylorWins — Jason Blum (@jason_blum) August 31, 2023 “Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Tony winner and Oscar® nominee Leslie Odom, Jr.; One Night in Miami, Hamilton) has raised their daughter, Angela (Lidya Jewett, Good Girls) on his own. But when Angela and her

Mike Flanagan’s Edgar Allen Poe Series “Fall Of The House Of Usher” Premiers This Fall

If there’s one thing you can count on when it comes to director Mike Flanagan, it’s quality, just look at his spooky-as-shit Netflix series “Haunting of Hill House” or one of his films. Well, he’s back (not that he ever left) with his new series, based on the tales of Edgar Allen Poe, titled “The Fall of the House of Usher.” The limited series from Intrepid Pictures features eight episodes, four that were directed by Flanagan and four by Michael Fimognari, who worked with Flanagan as cinematographer for “Haunting of Hill House” and directed several episodes of Flanagan’s new series “The Midnight Club.” “It’s crazy. It is unlike anything I’ve ever done, but in the other direction. My favorite way to describe it to people is like ‘Hill House’ is kind of a string quartet, and ‘Bly Manor’ is this delicate, kind of beautiful piece of classical piano music, and ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ is heavy metal.

Johnny Depp Starring In Live-Action ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’?

Over the past few years, Disney has been on a mission to adapt their most popular animated films into live-action stories with movies like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. The internet is buzzing after posts have surfaced stating that a live-action version of the 1993 Tim Burton classic The Nightmare Before Christmas is in the works with Johnny Depp set to star. But is it true? Currently, the posts have nothing to back them up. Disney, Depp, or Burton has made no official announcement on the subject, and until they do, you shouldn’t put much stock in the rumor. Depp is known for his many fantastic roles, including in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise as the infamous pirate Captain Jack Sparrow. According to the New York Post, after being fired from the franchise due to controversy in his personal life, he has been rehired for the next installment with a massive $300 million payday. While that
