On the heels of Leigh Whannell’s success with Universal’s The Invisible Man, horror heavy hitter James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring franchise) has signed on to develop a monster movie for Universal Studios, THR is reporting. Wan’s Atomic Monster will be producing the currently untitled movie written by “Supernatural’s” Robbie Thompson. “Sources say the story takes its cues from Universal’s classic monster legacy and shines it through a modern prism. With shades of Disturbia, the story will focus on a group of teens who discover that a neighbor is building a monster in his basement. Spoiler: the monster gets loose.” Sounds a bit like a modern Frankenstein, doesn’t it? At this time Universal Studios has quite a few monster movies in the works, including Monster Mash and The Invisible Woman.

On March 3rd at the final show of their tour in Mexico City, Ghost shocked fans at the event as a major turning point occurred in the middle of the performance. During a performance of the instrumental song Miasma, like at other shows, the elder of the church, Papa Nihil, the ancestor of all the previous lead singers Papa Emeritus I, II, and III, comes out and rocks an awesome saxophone solo and usually collapses into the arms or bodyguards before giving a final blow of the sax at the end of the song. But something was different during this performance…Papa Nihil collapsed on the ground and crews were trying to resuscitate him while Ghost’s current lead singer Cardinal Copia (Tobias Forge) was continuing the show as normal before finally realizing the situation occurring behind him when it became obvious that Papa Nihil died on stage.

Production has begun on writer Mariama Diallo‘s feature directorial debut, the “haunting thriller” Master. Starring Regina Hall (Girls Trip, Shaft), Zoe Renee (“Black Lightning,” Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase), and Amber Gray (“Escape at Dannemora”), the film is from Amazon Studios, Deadline reports. The film centers on “three black women who strive to find their place at the celebrated Ancaster College, an elite university in New England. The school was built on the site of a Salem-era gallows hill and the ghostly legacies of Puritan-era persecution haunt the campus in an increasingly supernatural fashion. The plot examines how each of these women will — or won’t — survive in this space of privilege.” From the moment we read Master and met Mariama we knew we needed to be part of bringing this spine-chilling story to life – and we couldn’t be more excited about our incredible cast and executive producer Regina Hall, as well as, Zoe Renee and Amber
