Prior to the pandemic, Marvel’s line-up of films and shows in development was bordering on overwhelming.

Ready to be terrified? Because, something terrible is lurking. Terror awaits. It’s terrifying. We’re talking about Terrifier 2. A sequel to Terrifier, a 2016 horror film about a homicidal clown (there’s an original idea), is currently in the works. Terrifier 2 doesn’t have a release date yet, with production currently interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, but the filmmakers are clearly keen to keep hype alive in the meantime.

A few months ago we got word that National Treasure 3 was finally in development, ending years of production hell for the film. Now there’s a second big piece of news to digest.

The turmoil behind the production of 2015’s disastrous Fantastic Four reboot has been well-documented. Disagreements between director Josh Trank and Fox led to major reshoots, with the former left deeply disappointed with the final product. 5 years later, in a new interview with Polygon, Trank has elaborated on the anguish of being forced to oversee reshoots he never wanted, and on the motivations Fox may have had behind ordering them:
When Rambo: Last Blood had its theatrical run back in the autumn, two different versions of the film were made available by Lionsgate. In North America and the UK, the released cut ran at 89 minutes. Last Blood not only ran 12 minutes longer in international territories though, but contained an alternate opening, too.

What We Do in the Shadows is currently four episodes into its second season, with a fifth due to air on May 6th. On May 13th, however, audiences will get to see a cameo from Mark Hamill, who's playing an ancient vampire in the episode titled “On the Run.”
