Chest-Pounding Fury: “Fear” Remake Announced From Universal Pictures

Pound your chest in happiness or full-on rage. Either way, a Fear remake is in the works.

According to an announcement yesterday over at Deadline, Universal Pictures is taking the ever-so-awesome 90’s film starring a post “Good Vibrations” Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon, and bringing it into the 21st century with a “reimagining”.  Oscar-nominated Jonathan Herman (Straight Outta Compton) is set to co-scribe the script.

Brian Grazer, who originally produced the 1996 thriller, is returning in one of the producer’s chairs for this modern take on vengeful chest-pounding and roller coaster shenanigans.

While most of the plot is being kept under wraps for now, the studios did say this time around that the story will be told from a “female perspective”. Although I’m pretty sure we already saw that in The Crush and Swimfan.

Personally, I’m more interested in the roller-coaster’s perspective, but what do I know…

Stallone Reveals Epic “Creed 2” Poster With Ivan Drago and Son!

If you weren’t excited about Creed 2 yet (and who wouldn’t be?!), get ready to be more pumped than Rocky training like a beast in the Russian wilderness.

Busy as ever Sir Sylvester of Stallone has been working away on two sequels to a pair of the largest franchise films of his career- Expendables 4 and of course, Creed 2. Case in point, Stallone has been mighty generous keeping fans updated with the progress of both films using the wonderful world of social media. Via Sly’s official Instagram, the first (non-theatrical) poster for Creed II has been revealed and it is the most glorious thing you’ll see all day.

Co-writer and co-star in the sequel from Ryan Coogler’s 2015 massive hit that follows the son of Apollo Creed (Michael B. Jordan) and his journey into the boxing world, Stallone has recruited long-time friend and one-time Rocky opponent Dolph Lundgren to return as the “Siberian Bull”, Ivan Drago. In the sequel, Adonis (Jordan) is looking to settle an old score with the man who killed his father in the ring. And it looks like that revenge might be taken out on Drago’s son, played by real-life Romanian boxer Florian “Big Nasty” Munteanu. Of course, Sly has hinted that Rocky himself, may get to lay a punch on good ole’ “Death From Above” as well.

I’m ok with every bit of this.

Creed 2 is currently in pre-production with Steven Caple Jr. directing and on the way to be filming soon with a hopeful release date for November 2018.

“Child’s Play” TV Series Being Developed By Original Creators!

And here I thought it was just going to be another boring Friday afternoon. Amazing, breaking news coming in from Bloody Disgusting today as a legit Child’s Play television series is coming our way!

Legit initial reaction there. 

 

On the heels of the beloved franchise turning the dirty 30 this year, original screenplay writer Don Mancini, who also directed the last three Chucky installments- Seed, Curse, and Cult, is bringing the Chuck to primetime alongside Child’s Play producer David Kirschner!

According to an interview with BD, the end result of Cult of Chucky is a direct set-up for an eight-part hour-long series to begin, and that the aim is to be darker than the films before:

“We plan to use Child’s Play in the title,” Mancini explained. “We want to definitely signal that we are going dark, darker than ever before. It’s going to be very creepy.”

Also, in case you’re asking yourself, the answer is YES: BRAD DOURIF WILL RETURN TO VOICE CHUCKY! In which case, thank you Play Pal Gods because we wouldn’t have it any other way! In regards to the series picking up after Cult, I have to wonder if that means we will see more of Fiona Dourif and Jennifer Tilly?! Details are being kept under wraps for now so only time will tell.

In the meantime, let’s just celebrate the fact we’re getting more of our little friend to the end.
