And is currently directing Ouija 2 , the sequel to 2014’s supernatural film that revolves around a Ouija Board. “HALLOWEEN needs to return to its traditions,” Carpenter said. “I feel like the movies have gotten away from that…Michael is not just a human being; he’s a force of nature, like the wind. That’s what makes him scary.” “HALLOWEEN is one of those milestone films that inspired everyone at our company to get into the world of scary movies.” Jason Blum stated. “and we are so excited

A Sequel To ‘Ouija’ Is In The Works

‘Oculus’ writers Mike Flanagan and Jeff Howard are set to pen the sequel to the 2013 paranormal horror ‘Ouija’, which Mike Flanagan directed. Flanagan and Howard ‘Ouija’ follows five teenagers, who have used a Ouija board to reach out to their friends, who supposedly committed suicide. The group accidentally unleashes a vengeful spirit. ‘Ouija’ stars Oivia Cooke and Daren Kagasoff. According to an article by Deadline, the sequel will have a plot that mirrors that of the first movie. ‘Ouija’ did not get rave reviews, so I can’t help but wonder why they would go with the same story twice. It is still early in preproduction, so the story may change. The director and cast have yet to be announced, but Michael Bay and Jason Blum of Blumhouse have already been listed as two of the sequel’s producers. ‘Ouija 2’ is set to be released October 21st of next year. The trailer for ‘Ouija’ (2014)

Henry Cavil is Gearing Up for Two ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Projects!

If you thought Henry Cavill (The Witcher, Superman, Highlander) was going to settle for just one trip to the grim darkness of the far future, think again. On top of the flagship live-action series, Hollywood’s favorite mega-nerd is behind a new animated series. Variety reports that Prime Video is also officially developing a standalone animated “Warhammer 40,000″ series. And naturally, Cavill is executive producing this one too. From Anthology to Full-Blown Series The animated project is spinning directly out of Amazon’s late-2024 video game anthology Secret Level. The Warhammer 40,000 episode sent the fanbase into absolute hero-worship overdrive. Dave Wilson is co-creating and directing the new project alongside co-creator John Orloff, with heavy-hitting backing from Amazon MGM Studios, Blur Studio, and Games Workshop. “Secret Level wasn’t conceived simply as an anthology. It was designed as a launchpad for larger stories,” said co-creator and director Dave Wilson. “The response to the Warhammer episode was extraordinary… This series gives us the opportunity
