A new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 featurette really nails home that this is a send-off. Five Nights at Freddy’s and the Minecraft movie get premiere dates. Quicksand does not make a good marriage counselor in a new horror flick. Plus, we have more proof the Rick and Michonne TWD series is really happening. Get to the ship, spoilers!

Paws

Variety reports Neopol Film and the Playmaker have teamed with director Lukas Rinker (Holy Shit!) on Paws, an eco-horror movie about a killer polar bear. The story is said to follow the “young scientist Nook, who’s on board a research ship in the Arctic. Reformed oil billionaire Fox is funding the crews’ efforts to fight climate change. Just when Nook learns that Fox’s interest is not so much in saving the planet but exploring and claiming fresh oil fields, their ship crashes. The crew search an abandoned Russian ghost-ship looking for a radio, but uncover a horrific threat: Inside the rusty trawler a monstrous polar bear mother has been trapped with her cub. Not only will the animal defend her nest but has grown very hungry and will seize the opportunity to feed on the survivors. Meanwhile, Fox begins to drill for oil and sees Nook as a threat to his business. Nook radios for help, but only a squad of Russian mercenaries return her call, and they are also interested in the oil.”

Five Nights as Freddy’s

The long-awaited film adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy’s is now scheduled for an October 27, 2023 release date.

Quicksand

Deadline also reports Quicksand — the upcoming film in which “an American couple on the brink of divorce” becomes trapped in a pit of quicksand — will premiere on Shudder this June 23.

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3

During a recent interview with Empire, James Gunn described the High Evolutionary as “a space Dr. Moreau” and compared Chukwudi Iwuji’s portrayal to Charles Laughton’s in Island of Lost Souls.

The High Evolutionary is one of my favourite Marvel villains. I’ve always been a big fan of [1932 film] Island Of Lost Souls. He’s like a space Doctor Moreau. He’s a detestable character, frankly.

Empire Magazine also has a new look at Adam Warlock (Will Poulter) with the Sovereign leader, Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) in the movie.
