More ‘Dexter’ Actor Michael C. Hall Says “Never Say Never”

Published

on

Dexter

Never say never, indeed. But perhaps we can say “stop”? Showtime’s Dexter was given the opportunity to do things that few shows are ever given the chance to do. Dexter was able to be brought back again in Dexter: New Blood. He was able to give fans a better, and fair ending. Now, despite having two different endings Hall has brought up the possibility of Dexter coming back again.

“I’ve learned to say never say never about anything, you know, the show ended in a pretty definitive way in this final reboot season, I don’t have any calendar date to mark when I’ll be pretend to play that guy anymore,” Hall told Lipps Service podcast. “I feel proud of the whole of it, and I’m glad that we went back and revisited the character and gave the show a sort of ending it needed… I think. I don’t know, it’s kinda nice to be released.”

Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched Dexter: New Blood:

At the end of the series Dexter is actually shot by his annoying son, Harrison. A lot of fans found Harrison to be annoying as all hell. It made it all the more painful that Harrison and his food smacking presence was the one to take Dexer down. It also further convoluted the idea of the Dark Passenger. It sort of made all of Harry’s teachings and every single episode and season feel as though it had been made redundant.

So, on one hand, I would like to see Dexter come back for another shot at an ending and on the other hand I have to say it is time to let it go. Time to let it go and just deal with the fact that these writers are bad at closing the story up.

Hall also said that he hopes audiences can ultimately appreciate the ending and come to terms with it. He liked that it was his son who was the one who killed him.

Dexter

I think Hollywood is a little too obsessed with legacy in film and tv. Everyone has to be related to everyone. Vader telling Luke that he was daddy, created a trope that we still are seeing over saturating narratives even today. I thought one of the best parts of Star Wars: The Last Jedi was Kylo Ren telling Rey that her parents were nobody and that she was nobody she came from nothing and was nothing. Of course, JJ Abrams made sure to scrap that and make Rey another Skywalker and… yawn… who cares.

For better or worse, Dexter ended the way that it did. Annoying Harrison killed cool ass Dex. It is sorta interesting to know that Hall isn’t going to say “never” to another return though. It leaves the option there. Heck why not have satanic zombie Dex return?? It wouldn’t be anything sillier than what we have seen in Fast and Furious.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
