Gordon, a long-time experimental theatre director, had adapted H.P. Lovecraft’s novel into a script intended for a TV series. However, he couldn’t secure funding and eventually lost enthusiasm for the project. It remained unfinished until he connected with Brian Yuzna, a rising producer seeking a low-budget horror film. Yuzna envisioned something graphic and sensual, and Gordon’s script had the potential to be reworked and shortened into a feature film to fit that vision.

Rian Johnson recently shared on the Awards Radar podcast that he constantly receives story ideas for future mystery films, but he always declines them.

DC and Infinity Studio just unveiled a striking preview of their Darkseid collectible, based on Zack Snyder’s version of the character.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the next Paranormal Activity movie will be a fresh start for the series. The first film debuted in 2007 at several film festivals before Paramount picked it up, intending to create a more polished version of the original low-budget movie. After editing and adding new scenes, Paranormal Activity was released in 2009, telling the story of a couple who filmed unsettling events happening in their home.

The film features a screenplay by Reginald Rose, who was nominated for two Oscars (known for 12 Angry Men). It stars screen icons Richard Burton (Where Eagles Dare), Roger Moore (Live and Let Die), and Richard Harris (A Man Called Horse) as a group of older mercenaries. They’re hired by a rich businessman for one last, dangerous job: to gather and train a team of commandos, parachute into a troubled African country, rescue the ousted President from a heavily guarded prison, and escape through the military-controlled airport, eliminating anyone who tries to stop them. The mission itself will involve killing, but surviving the escape might be even harder.

With so many streaming options available, especially on Netflix, there’s plenty to watch. As Netflix prepares for the holidays with feel-good Christmas movies like Champagne Problems and A Merry Little Ex-Mas, now is a great time to enjoy something lighter.

The show draws heavily from Greek myths, offering fresh takes on the ancient Gods, their relationships, and the demigod children they have.

I’ve said before that Jag deserves a spot on Survivor. If he played, he could make history as the first person to win Survivor, The Amazing Race, and Big Brother. But would he even want to? He recently told Parade how open he is to the idea.
