Jon M. Chu teases a wildcard star for Wicked: For Good‘s Cowardly Lion. Rachel Tammi talks upping the animatronic game for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. Plus, what’s coming on The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Spoilers away!
Alien
Speaking with the Spanish outlet Omelette, Demián Rugna denied he’s directing the sequel to Alien: Romulus.
I heard the rumor. It’s truly flattering, and I love the idea, but there’s nothing to it. Just a comment from Fede Álvarez. It’s fantastic that they’re linking me to that, but I wish it were true and I didn’t have to say there’s nothing to it.
Wicked: For Good
During a new interview with Deadline, Jon M. Chu revealed he secured a major actor to voice the Cowardly Lion in Wicked: For Good.
I was like, ‘It’s not a ton of lines, but maybe you have a little time. I know you’re busy. I’ll come to you.’ He was like, ‘Why the fuck not, let’s go!’ And then we went ahead and recorded the lines. Man, wait until the red carpet when the actor who gave us the Cowardly Lion’s voice steps foot on it. It’ll be wild.
Noseeums
Deadline also reports Quiver Distribution has acquired Noseeums, the feature debut from Raven DeShay Carter, described as a “socially charged horror feature that blends supernatural tension with a deep-rooted Southern Gothic atmosphere.” The story follows Ember, “a Black college student invited to a rural estate for a weekend with her white classmates, where she encounters spectral retribution tied to the historic loss of Black land ownership in the American South.”
