Marvel’s ‘Blade’ Kicks Off Filming This July!

It’s been three years since Marvel announced that Mahershala Ali (“House of Cards,” “Luke Cage”) would be the new Blade. After years of rumors and just enough news to keep the movie in the back of our minds, it’s finally happening. That’s right, Blade is finally on his way, and I don’t mean in another three years; the movie is kicking off filming in New Orleans on July 4, 2022!!! So, what’s this movie about? It sounds like a reboot of the trilogy that starred Wesley Snipes, which was last released as a film in 2004. Screen Crush quotes Marvel saying this about the new Blade: “He is known to be a vampire hunter – half-mortal, half-immortal- who tries to rid the world of vampires to avenge his mother, who was killed by a vampire as she gave birth to him.” Ali made his first appearance in the post-credit scenes of Eternals, but nothing since has been heard about the

Shudder Unveils Poster For Horror Docu-Series “Queer For Fear”

In celebration of Pride Month, Shudder has just released the first poster for their new four-part docu-series “Queer for Fear,” which delves into the history of queer people in the horror and thriller genres. From Executive produce, rs Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal”) and Steak House (Launchpad) “Queer for Fe,” a Shudder Original, will debut this Fall. From its literary origins with queer authors Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde to the pansy craze of the 1920s that influenced Universal Monsters and Hitchcock, through the “lavender scare” alien invasion films of the mid-20th century and the AIDS obsessed bloodletting of 80s vampire films, Queer for Fear re-examines genre stories through a queer lens, seeing them not as violent, murderous narratives, but as tales of survival that resonate thematically with queer audiences everywhere. The docu-series features interviews with series consultant Renée “Nay” Bever (“Attack of the Queerwolf” Podcast co-host), Mark Gatiss (Co-Creator, Writer & Actor, Sherlock and Dracula on BBC), Kimberly Peirce
