We have a lot of love for 1999's Deep Blue Sea, from Samuel L. Jackson's performance to the somewhat bonkers plot. A direct-to-video sequel came out in 2018, and a third entry in the series is now reportedly planned for Netflix. We've known since last year that Deep Blue 3 is in development, and more recently that the sequel will be rated R, and may be out this summer. It's worth, then, taking a look at everything we know right now about Deep Blue Sea 3, from the plot to the cast.
Although we know that Netflix already have a bumper collection of content planned for June, the streaming giant are also using the final week of May to put out a lot of new series and movies.
It's been a difficult week for Batwoman, with Ruby Rose surprising us by exiting the role of Kate Kane after just one season. While there have been several reasons floated as to why Rose quit the job, there's been no shortage of actresses expressing interest in taking over the character. So far, notable names being rumored for joining Batwoman include Stephanie Beatriz, Alaina Huffman and Wallis Day. The latest actress to put herself forward though is Jade Tailor, who is perhaps best known for The Magicians.
As you may have heard, NASA might have discovered evidence of a parallel universe, wherein time and physics could be running in reverse. Scientists based in Antarctica reportedly detected the possibility of a parallel universe in 2016, with their analysis claiming that the presence of strangely behaving high-energy particles shows evidence that they are travelling backwards in time. Twitter users have, somewhat predictably, reacted to the news with excitement and various memes referencing the MCU and The Flash.
While we'd imagine that most people are getting full use of their Netflix subscription right now, the service still appears to be concerned about a backlog of inactive user accounts. The streaming platform, which has been one of the few entertainment companies to perform well during the coronavirus lockdown, have now announced that they'll cancel inactive accounts where someone might be still paying for but not using their subscription.
While much of the talk around Zack Snyder has revolved around the "Snyder Cut" in recent months, fans will get the chance to revisit the director's first move into Superman territory with a watch party for 2013's Man of Steel. The Henry Cavill-starring movie, which sets up the DCEU, has drawn some controversy for its use of violence, but remains a solid if perhaps not fully realized Superman picture. Snyder will be running a watch party for the film this Wednesday, May 20th via Vero, and will be providing commentary and answering questions about the production.
Although we still have a while to wait for Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, the cast and crew of the 2018 Halloween have been busy taking part in a Twitter rewatch this weekend. Star Jamie Lee Curtis participated in the watch party and took the time to share some behind-the-scenes information from the David Gordon Green-directed movie. She particularly discussed how her cast and crew-mates made a special gesture to mark one pivotal scene for her character Laurie Strode.
As the lockdown continues, Netflix provides a reliable source of entertainment, including many titles you might not have considered before. While it's probably unavoidable that you'll still spend a lot of time browsing through the platform's library, Netflix's weekly collection of new content at least gives us some pointers on what to watch next. To this end, here are some of the highlights of what's coming to Netflix this week.
