For fans of John Carpenter, we have some exciting news. This Saturday, while the Master of Horror was receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award during the Fantasia Film Festival (full interview below), he confirmed several projects. One of those projects is Blumhouse and Universal’s reboot of The Thing. As previously reported, the new film as well as Carpenter’s 1982 movie, is inspired by acclaimed science fiction author John W. Campbell’s Who Goes There?, about a team of scientists in Antarctica who discover and are terrorized by a monstrous, shape-shifting alien. The new film will also draw from Frozen Hell, a recently unearthed novella that serves as an abridged version of Campbell’s original story. In all, there are already three film versions of the same story, The Thing from Another World (1951), Carpenter’s 1982 film The Thing, and 2011’s The Thing from director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. Blumhouse and Universal’s reboot will be number four. It will be interesting to see how

Robert Eggers, the brilliant filmmaker that delivered The Witch and The Lighthouse, is building an epic cast for his next film, The Northman. Alexander Skarsgård, Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Anya Taylor-Joy, Kate Dickie, and Nicole Kidman are all set to star. This week another name was added. According to reports, actress and musician Björk has also joined the cast and will play the role of the “Slav Witch.” Known for her unique sound and elaborate costumes, Björk’s most notable film role was that of Selma in Lars von Trier’s award-winning 2000 movie Dancer in the Dark. At the moment, the details surrounding the film are being kept very quiet. We do know that it is a Viking revenge saga set in Iceland near the turn of the 10th century. Eggers co-wrote the script along with Icelandic poet and novelist, Sjón. Due to the pandemic, filming will probably take place later this year, with The Northman likely premiering at film festivals

The first time that I saw the trailer for Deep Blue Sea 3, I was beyond excited, I’m a sucker for anything that involves sharks. But deep down there was a lingering fear that it would just be another cheesy creature feature. Thankfully, it has real substance. Let’s talk about it.

Using a man-made island as their base, Emma and the team’s study is interrupted by her old flame who needs their help catching a shiver of genetically enhanced smart sharks.
