In summary, season three picks up right where season two ended, as it was shot consecutively with the previous one. The future of the narrative is still unknown, but there are many hints about what’s in store for us ahead.
The filmmaker has established a pattern of adapting literary pieces for screen, notably deviating significantly from the original sources in his Netflix series “The Haunting of Hill House” and “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” which were based on Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel and Henry James’ 1898 novella “The Turn of the Screw,” respectively. However, Flanagan has also adapted films from Stephen King books in the past, using differing techniques. For instance, “Gerald’s Game” (2017) was quite faithful to the book, but “Doctor Sleep” (2019), a sequel to “The Shining,” combined a relatively faithful adaptation with aspects from Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 “Shining” adaptation that weren’t present in the novel.
As a film enthusiast, I was eagerly anticipating the opening weekend of “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,” expecting it to rake in around $28 million. However, upon the break of dawn on Saturday, estimates revised downwards to a 3-day domestic gross between $25.5 million and $27.5 million, falling short of my initial expectations. Nonetheless, this strong showing is projected to secure it the second spot on the domestic chart, although it couldn’t dethrone “Lilo & Stitch,” which has held the number one position for three consecutive weekends, with a total projected earnings of $33 million.
Viz Media has announced that a new horror manga anthology titled “Statues: Junji Ito Story Collection” is set to arrive in spring of next year, but they have not yet specified an exact date. This upcoming release from the manga publishers promises to be terrifying, featuring headless statues, a teacher’s grisly murder, a cursed river ritual, and more nightmarish scenarios concocted by the Eisner award-winning master of horror, Junji Ito. The anthology will likely include both classic stories from Ito, such as those focusing on headless killer statues, as well as at least one original story based on past releases.

As a die-hard film enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about what’s brewing on the horizon! For instance, Jake Schreier, director of Thunderbolts*, is set to reboot the X-Men with a script by Michael Lesslie, who penned The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Yet, that’s not all we have to look forward to! Jeremy Slater, the brain behind Disney+’s Moon Knight and a writer on the 2015 Fantastic Four, is eager to animate an underappreciated Marvel team – if given the opportunity, of course.
