After a long wait, we are just six months away from the release of Jurassic World: Dominion. A new image (via Empire) has been unveiled, giving us our first look at star Chris Pratt fleeing from an Atrociraptor. “Where the Velociraptor is a little bit more of a stealth hunter, the Atrociraptors are a bit more brutish,” director Colin Trevorrow tells Empire, explaining the image you’ll find below. “These things will just come at you. And in this particular case, they’ve picked his scent, and they’re not going to stop until he’s dead. They’re pretty brutal. They’re pretty vicious.” Brilliant filmmaker Colin Trevorrow, who was behind Jurassic World, directs from a script written by Emily Carmichael, based on a story by Trevorrow and Derek Connolly.

Did you know that one of the most iconic, and terrifying, horror films of all time, The Exorcist, is based on a true story, the possession of Roland Doe? Roland Doe is an alias. The boy’s real name has been kept secret for decades to protect him, until now. The magazine Skeptical Inquirer has now named the boy from the real 1949 possession case as Roland Edwin Hunkeler, who passed away last year just before his 86th birthday after suffering from a stroke at this home in Marriottsville, Maryland. Roland was a Nasa engine and contributed to the Apollo space mission and patented the tech that helps space shuttles panels withstand the heat of entering and exiting the earth’s atmosphere. A female friend of Roland’s told the New York Post that Hunkeler was terrified of people, especially his colleagues, discovering his secret. Directed by William Friedkin, The Exorcist took inspiration from Hunkler’s possession that occurred in the 1940s when he

2019’s series “Carnival Row” was absolutely fantastic and the fact that a second season was never made still irks me to this day. But, I do have good news for my fellow fans, the unique world of “Carnival Row” will soon return, not as a new season, but as a new graphic novel series, Tales of Carnival Row, from Legendary Comics that will feature original stories from the hit show from Legendary Comics and Amazon Video. “In the dark and magical world of Carnival Row, there are many stories to be told. Readers can explore the Burgue, where war-weary humans and Fae strike an uneasy peace and eke out a meager coexistence in this new anthology graphic novel. Fans can take a closer look at the myths and half-truths surrounding their favorite characters, including Philo, Vignette, Millworthy, Agreus, Tourmaline, and Aisling.” Writer George Mann (Wychwood, the Newbury & Hobbes series) and series writers C.M. Landrus, Charles Valasquez-Witosky, and Jordan Crair
