Fly Me to the Moon
We also have a new trailer for Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatumās Apollo 11 rom-com, Fly Me to the Moon. Not to be confused with the 2008 animated film of the same name about houseflies sneaking aboard the lunar lander.
Twisted Metal
Variety reports Anthony Carrigan has been cast as Calypso, āthe mysterious, charismatic host and creator of a dangerous demolition derby tournament who invites all assassins, vigilantes, mercenaries and joyriders to participateā in the second season of Twisted Metal.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
Bryce Dallas Howard confirmed sheās directed an episode of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew in a new interview with Collider.
So, what Iāll say is that Iām doing an episode of Skeleton Crew, which Iām super excited about. I went to college with Jon Watts and his writing partner in this, Chris Ford. And so, that was very exciting and getting to do that.
Interview With the Vampire/The Mayfair Witches
During a recent interview with Collider, executive producer Mark Johnson revealed an undisclosed character from Interview with the Vampire will make an appearance on The Mayfair Witches.
I assumed going into this that it truly was a franchise, and that the Immortal Universe and the Anne Rice world was somehow more connected. But in a strange way, with the shows that weāre making and developing, they arenāt directly connected. You can look at them and say, āOh, thatās Anne Rice, but I donāt know what that is. There was a point when maybe it was a little too schematic that we were trying to insert one character from one story into another and it wasnāt necessarily working. With that said, weāre discovering that there are some characters that it does work with. Thereās somebody from Interview thatās going to appear in Mayfair Witches, but sheās much more complicated than I thought she was. In the feature world, I did the three Chronicles of Narnia and it was very easy to figure out different characters you could interlace. Thatās not the case here. I think that actually speaks to the strength of Anneās writing and her creation.
The Boys
Speaking with Variety, The Boysā showrunner Eric Kripke promised Black Noir will not be revealed to be a Homelander clone as he was in comics.
No, and I donāt mind saying it. In the comics heās a clone of Homelander this entire time and is actually the one doing all these horrific things. And again, itās a hell of a twist. But itās like, well wait, the villain Iāve been following isnāt really the villain. And mileage varies, and Iām sure fans are mad Iām not going that way, but that felt not as satisfying to me. Iām like, if Iām going to follow this villain, I want this guy to be the villain. So I was never really into the clone idea.
Plus, cloning feels like too ā Iām going to sound silly ā but cloning feels too magical for the show. We try to say that superheroes are the only slippery banana, and that everything else we try to make as grounded as possible.
The Umbrella Academy
During a recent interview with Total Film (via Games Radar), showrunner Steve Blackman promised āa lot of questions will be answered this yearā on The Umbrella Academy.
Weāll explain Hargreevesā motivations; weāll figure out a way to make them superheroes again, and this apocalypse is different. They donāt know straight away what theyāre up against; the fans will be pleased as a lot of questions will be answered this year.
