Bring Her Back

Death of a Pop Star
Variety also reports Diablo Cody will produce a film adaptation of the supernatural web comic, Death of a Pop Star. Adapted for the screen by Isa Mazzei (Cam, Faces of Death), the story concerns Sophie, “a beloved pop star at the top of her game—until she takes a tumble from the top of the stairs and wakes up in Hell. Lucky for her, the Grim Reaper is her number one fan and, in a desperate attempt to save his idol, secretly gives Sophie a second chance at life back on Earth. But with Sophie’s resurrection comes a deadly target on her back when she’s threatened with being dragged back to Hell.”
Coherence 2
According to Deadline, an unexpected sequel to 2013’s Coherence is now in development from director James Ward Byrkit and producer Kate Andrews. Unfortunately, details on the story are currently under wraps.
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Meanwhile, Jennifer Love Hewitt provided Entertainment Tonight with an update on the status of the new I Know What You Did Last Summer.
I’m Always Gonna Know What You Did That Summer is what I think it should be called. It’s in the cooker, let me just say that. It’s there. I’ve done a couple preliminary phone calls. I keep getting these messages from people, ‘We’re so excited!’ I’m like, ‘Okay! But the train is moving really fast and I haven’t gotten there yet.’ But it’s nice to know that people are excited at the possibility and honestly it is wild to even think about. If it truly comes together I don’t even know how I’m gonna feel except extremely overwhelmed and grateful.

I equate it like, ‘We’re baking a cake right now.’ Nobody wants to ruin a cake. I don’t want to ruin a cake. Let us bake it. The cake is well underway and being made, being fabricated as we speak. There is no rest for the wicked I guess. To use that phrase. We rolled right into Season 2, while we were on Season 1!
