Jurassic World 4

THR confirms earlier reports that Scarlett Johansson is in talks to star in Gareth Edward’s new Jurassic World movie at Universal.


Spider-Man 4

Meanwhile, Jeff Sneider reports (via Comic Book) that Fast 9′s Justin Lin is being courted to direct a fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland for Sony and Marvel Studios.


Pirates of the Caribbean

Jerry Bruckheimer also re-confirmed the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie will be a reboot in a recent interview with Comic Book.

It’s hard to tell. You don’t know, you really don’t know. You don’t know how they come together. You just don’t know. Because with Top Gun you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does [another] Top Gun, I can’t tell you. But we’re gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.


Puzzle Box

Variety reports Welcome Villain Films has acquired the rights to Puzzle Box, a new found footage horror film from director Jack Dignan following “recovering drug addict Kait, who flees to a house in the woods to self-rehabilitate. Joined by her sister Olivia, who decides to document the process, strange things begin to happen as the house’s layout mysteriously begins to change, and the two find themselves trapped inside an inescapable, nightmarish puzzle box of a house.”


Festival of the Living Dead

Bloody-Disgusting also reports the latest film from the Soska Sisters, Festival of the Living Dead, will premiere this April 5 on Tubi. Starring Ashley Moore and Camren Bicondova, the story concerns fans of George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead attending the festival of the title when “a blast of radioactive space dust” causes an actual zombie uprising to occur.


The First Omen

During a recent interview with Fangoria, director Arkasha Stevenson revealed a graphic scene in which a woman is forced to give birth nearly netted The First Omen an NC-17 rating.

The horror in that situation is how dehumanized that woman is. This has been my life for a year and a half, fighting for the shot. It’s the theme of our film. It’s the female body being violated from the inside outwards. If we were going to talk about female body horror, we were going to talk about forced reproduction, and we have to be able to show the female body in a non-sexualized light. I’m very proud of this shot.

There was a preview where I was sitting with the audience. The guy in front of me was eating M&Ms the whole time. Then that shot came on, and his mouth opened, and M&Ms just fell out.

I’m not going to lie, it is pretty nerve-racking pitching that scene, thinking these guys will never go for that. But the whole time, Keith [Levine] and [David] Goyer were so supportive. I really wanted to work with these guys who aren’t scared off by that word. I think it’s a huge litmus test if people can say the word ‘vagina.’


The Monster Is Coming

A biotech company’s giant, mutant pangolin escapes in the first eight minutes of The Monster Is Coming. An additional trailer promises it eventually battle with an equally large snake.

The Last of Us

Reporter Daniel Richtman alleges that Pedro Pascal has already finished production on The Last of Us’ second season—which only began filming about a month ago, suggesting a short, video-game-accurate role for his character Joel.


Waller

James Gunn denied rumors Corey Hawkins has joined the cast of the Amanda Waller TV series in a recent post on Threads.

Scripts aren’t finished. Haven’t started the casting process. (So no).


The Penguin

Colin Farrell also described the upcoming Penguin TV series as “really dark” and “incredibly violent” in a new interview with MovieZine.

It was a long and really wonderful experience. It’s dark, that’s what I can tell you about it. It’s really dark. It’s really heavy, I think, it certainly was doing it. Which is not to say I didn’t have fun, I had an amazing time doing it, but it’s incredibly violent.


Ninja Kamui

Finally, Adult Swim has released a trailer for next week’s episode of Ninja Kamui.
