First Look: On Set of ‘Welcome to Derry’ & Interview with Andy Muschietti

Published

on

Rising from the sewers, drag performer and horror movie enthusiast The Real Elvirus took her fans behind the scenes of the MAX series Welcome to Derry in an exclusive hot-set tour. The show is scheduled to release sometime in 2025, but a firm date has not been set.

Filming is taking place in Canada in Port Hope, a stand-in for the fictional New England town of Derry located within the Stephen King universe. The sleepy location has been transformed into a township from the 1960s.

Welcome to Derry is the prequel series to director Andrew Muschietti’s two-part adaptation of King’s It. The series is interesting in that it’s not only about It, but all the people who live in Derry — which includes some iconic characters from the King ouvre.

Elvirus, dressed as Pennywise, tours the hot set, careful not to reveal any spoilers, and speaks with Muschietti himself, who reveals exactly how to pronounce his name: Moose-Key-etti.

The comical drag queen was given an all-access pass to the location and uses that privilege to explore props, facades and interview crew members. It’s also revealed that a second season is already greenlit.

Take a look below and let us know what you think. And are you looking forward to the MAX series Welcome to Derry?

Wes Craven Produced ‘The Breed’ From 2006 Getting a Remake

Published

on

The tepid 2006 Wes Craven-produced film, The Breed, is getting a remake from producers (and brothers) Sean and Bryan Furst . The sibs previously worked on the well-received vampire flick Daybreakers and, more recently, Renfield, starring Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult.

Now you may be saying “I didn’t know Wes Craven produced a nature horror film,” and to those we would say: not many people do; it was kind of a critical disaster. However, it was Nicholas Mastandrea’s directorial debut, handpicked by Craven, who had worked as a director’s assistant on New Nightmare.

The original had a buzz-worthy cast, including Michelle Rodriguez (The Fast and the Furious, Machete) and Taryn Manning (Crossroads, Orange is the New Black).

According to Variety this remake stars Grace Caroline Currey who plays Violet, “‘a rebel icon and badass on a mission to search for abandoned dogs on a remote island which leads to complete adrenaline-fueled terror.’”

Currey is no stranger to horror suspense thrillers. She starred in Annabelle: Creation (2017), Fall (2022), and Shazam: Fury of the Gods (2023).

The original film was set in a cabin in the woods where: “A group of five college kids are forced to match wits with unwelcoming residents when they fly to a ‘deserted’ island for a party weekend.” But they encounter, “ravenous genetically enhanced dogs bred to kill.”

The Breed also had a funny Bond one-liner, “Give Cujo my best,” which, to those who aren’t familiar with killer dog movies, is a reference to Stephen King’s Cujo. We wonder if they will keep that in for the remake.

Tell us what you think.

Shelter in Place, New ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ Trailer Drops

Published

on

The third installment of the A Quiet Place franchise is set to release only in theaters on June 28. Even though this one is minus John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, it still looks terrifyingly magnificent.

This entry is said to be a spin-off and not a sequel to the series, although it’s technically more a prequel. The wonderful Lupita Nyong’o takes center stage in this movie, along with Joseph Quinn as they navigate through New York City under siege by bloodthirsty aliens.

The official synopsis, as if we need one, is “Experience the day the world went quiet.” This, of course, refers to the quick-moving aliens who are blind but have an enhanced sense of hearing.

Under the direction of Michael Sarnoski (Pig) this apocalyptic suspense thriller will be released the same day as the first chapter in Kevin Costner’s three-part epic western Horizon: An American Saga.

Which one will you see first?
