Deadpool 3
Taylor Swift was spotted with Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy at a recent Chiefs game, reigniting rumors she’s been cast as Dazzler in Deadpool 3.
It’s Over
Deadline reports Akeela Cooper is attached to write It’s Over, a feature adaptation of an unpublished short story by Jack Follman for Sony Pictures. The story is said to concern “the painful breakup of a longtime couple” that “drives right into the horror lane, blending humor and social commentary, as Cooper did in M3GAN.”
Friday the 13th
During a recent interview with Inverse, Blumhouse producer Ryan Turek revealed he and Jason Blum “would love to get [their] hands on” the rights to the Friday the 13th franchise.
Jason (Blum) and I are definitely in agreement that Friday the 13th is the thing we would love to get our hands on. I really want to go back to the basics. You don’t need too many ingredients for a Friday the 13th film. You need summer camp, you need campers, and you need Jason Vorhees in a mask.
The Toxic Avenger
In conversation with /Film, Macon Blair revealed his Toxic Avenger remake introduces a breakdancing henchman named Zodiac 3000 who dresses like the Zodiac Killer and ultimately “explodes into a big pile of blood” after falling off stage.
I mean, the Zodiac 3000 is just, it’s funny to me. We got one of the best break-dancers in Bulgaria to play that part because the guy with the target suit on is just sort of like, it’s so dumb that it makes me laugh. I wasn’t interested in the type of deaths where they’re strapped to a chair and they’re getting their fingernails pulled out. I dig those movies, that’s fine. But for this one, it was important that no, the way he dies is he falls off the stage and explodes into a big pile of blood. How could — his body blew up? Yeah, don’t worry about it. And then sprinkling moments like that throughout the movie where it’s just like, it’s best to not think about it too much because we’re already onto another gag as quickly as possible.
