‘Caddo Lake’ Produced by M. Night Shyamalan Scores New Trailer

HBO’s upcoming original film Caddo Lake, produced by M. Night Shyamalan (Trap), has unveiled a new unnerving and intense trailer. Caddo Lake plays out against the haunting backdrop of the Southern bayou and back roads lined with cypress trees. It follows a series of past deaths and disappearances that come to light when an eight-year-old girl vanishes mysteriously. Long-buried truths and newly surfaced mysteries will forever alter the history of a broken family and those around them. It stars Eliza Scanlen, Dylan O’Brien, Diana Hopper, Caroline Falk, and Sam Hennings. Eric Lange and Lauren Ambrose round out the cast. The story’s inspiration was born from a single photograph discovered online of the real Caddo Lake, which filmmakers Celine Held and Logan George became captivated by. This led the two to make numerous visits to the cypress forest, which straddles the border of Texas and Louisiana, leading to the film being shot over 2021 and 2022 in and around the town

‘Woman of the Hour’ Sees Anna Kendrick Play “The Dating Game” with a Killer

Pitch Perfect star and Emmy nominee Anna Kendrick is making her future directorial debut with the true-crime-inspired serial killer thriller Woman of the Hour, whose teaser trailer has debuted following its acquisition by Netflix. Kendrick pulls double duty with the film, both directing and starring in it. Kendrick stars as Sheryl Bradshaw. In the trailer, she sits at a 1970s tropical-themed bar with her date, whom she met on “The Dating Game” (Daniel Zovatto). He makes her increasingly uneasy, though she’s not exactly sure why.
