‘Scream’ is Officially Completed, Director Shares Photo With “#ForWes”

Published

Scream

Scream is finally finished up. After many hold ups during the COVID end times, we have finally arrived. The film is done and director Matt Bettinelli post to his Twitter and shared a very cool image to commemorate the very special day.

SCREAM (2022) is complete! We’re so excited for you all to see it soon. #ForWes

Bettinelli posted. Personally, I’m still sentimental about Wes Craven’s passing and him not being around for this entry of the Scream franchise.

I’ve always been a person that thinks it’s the end of a band when one of the band members quits or dies. For example, you have some bands like Stone Temple Pilots and AC/DC that carried on with the same name after the passing of singers Scott Weiland and Bon Scott. They spent some time looking and eventually slid someone else into the spot for their lead singers. Then we have bands that are done after a member dies. Finished. I mean, Beastie Boys won’t even perform without their lost member. So, its a little touchy for me. And I’m certain I’m not alone.

All that said, Scream fans are very excited about the next entry. It does really help that the team is keeping Wes in their hearts while they were working on film. But, all in all, I think that Scream fans are just ready for more Scream after such a long wait.

It really helps that directors, Bettinelli and Tyler Gilett are seriously awesome, cool, humble. If it’s somone that should be working within Wes Craven’s Scream foundation it’s Bettinelli and Gillett. These dudes have a fantastic lineup of films. Both Ready or Not and Southbound are  shining examples of truly great suspense and horror with an edge all their own.

It’s also great to see returning stars David Arquette, Courtney Cox  and of course Neve Campbell back again. Each of which all saw the script, and thought it was something smart that creatively paid homage to Wes Craven and his work.

“The directors are incredible, they’re making it absolutely… it’s a new franchise. It’s hip, it’s scary. It’s just a new Scream. It’s not a reboot, it’s not a remake, it’s just a brand new launch. I think it’s going to be fantastic,” Cox said during her time on The Drew Barrymore Show.

Scream stabs its way into theaters January 14, 2022.

Are you ready for a Wes Crevenless, Scream? Do you think it’s time? Let us know in the comments section.

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

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.
