Joker: Folie à Deux
According to Deadline, Harry Lawtey (Industry) has joined the cast of the upcoming Joker sequel in an undisclosed but “big” role.
Fight hair loss with science
Right now, you can get The Hair Revitalizing Complex Full Set for the price of the Refill. That’s just $98 for a 30-day supply, and $32 off the supplement’s normal price. This supplement is proven to deliver results. Augustinus Bader performed a six-month double blind trial that found those on the supplement had increased their hair count by 56%, hair shine by 100%, and saw a 98% reduction in hair damage compared to those who took a placebo.
Mother, May I?
Deadline also reports Kyle Gallner and Holland Roden are attached to star in Mother, May I?, the directorial debut of Laurence Vannicelli in which “a man’s fiancée starts behaving like his recently deceased mother, leading him to confront his deepest traumas to free her from the bewildering possession.”
Fantastic Four
Meanwhile, the latest episode of the Hot Mic podcast (via Comic Book) alleges Marvel is courting Adam Driver to play Doctor Doom in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie.
The Rian Johnson Star Wars Trilogy
In a recent interview with Variety, Rian Johnson confirmed he’s “still talking” to Kathleen Kennedy about his planned Star Wars trilogy.
I have talked to [Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy] about it and we’re still talking about it. I had such an amazing experience making The Last Jedi. It’s entirely a matter of scheduling. For me, putting this [Glass Onion] out and making the next one of these [Knives Out sequels]…the answer is I don’t know.
The Exorcist
In conversation with The Wrap, David Gordon Green revealed he’s done a “crap-load of research for the past two years” in preparation for his “dead serious” new Exorcist trilogy.
We’re about to begin on a very different type of technical journey than Halloween. I don’t even necessarily categorize it as a horror film, although it’s very horror appealing, it’s psychological and dramatic. It doesn’t have the fun tension-breakers that Halloween would have, because you can’t lean into any of the more campy qualities that I think we enjoy from time to time in the Halloween movies. It’s dead serious and pretty straightforward, and I don’t know, I’m excited about it.
The Friendship Game
Meanwhile, Peyton List buys a Lament Configuration-esque puzzle at a garage sale with the ability to create murderous duplicates of its challengers in the trailer for The Friendship Game.
Goosebumps
