The Incredibles 3

The murmur of a crowd, a child’s excited squeal – that’s the magic of Pixar. Holly Hunter informed Screen Rant that she will start recording lines for The Incredibles 3 this March.

I think I start in March.  I don’t know [the story]. I never do know. I never know what the stories are of Incredibles. I go in and I record with Brad [Bird], or in this case, I don’t know if it’s going to be Brad, but I think that he’s been writing the script. So it’s very exciting.


Exquisite Corpse

Halloween night, the doorbell rings, and a shiver runs down your spine even before you open the door. Deadline reports that a film based on James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh’s comic book series, Exquisite Corpse, is being developed at Tynion’s Tiny Onion production label. The story centers on a deadly game that occurs every five years on Halloween. The wealthiest families in America turn twelve dangerous killers loose on an unsuspecting small town. The last killer standing wins.


King Snake

Dust motes dance in the afternoon sun of a long-abandoned farmhouse as you push the door open. World of Reel says that King Snake, a Southern Gothic horror film from Jeff Nichols and starring Margaret Qualley, Drew Starkey, and Michael Shannon, will begin production this April. The story focuses on a young couple (Qualley and Starkey) who inherit a farm and must confront the darkness tied to its past. As real-world hardships meet supernatural forces, they face earthly demons and otherworldly threats in a battle between good and evil.


Supergirl

The hushed reverence of a comic book store, the anticipation of flipping through the pages of a new adventure. Jason Momoa spoke on The Today Show about playing Lobo in Supergirl.

He’s amazing. It’s my ultimate dream to play Lobo. I wanted to play him more than Aquaman. This is it.


Blake’s 7

The flickering neon sign of a used bookstore, promising forgotten worlds and untold stories. Deadline reports that a Blake’s 7 reboot is being developed by The Last of Us director Peter Hoar, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder producer Matthew Bouch, and Jason Haigh-Ellery. At this time, no network is attached to the project.


Will Gareth Thomas appear in the reboot of Blake’s 7?

Why did Blake’s 7 end?

Some say that Blake’s 7 ended due to budget constraints, while others claim the storyline had run its course. Regardless, the show’s ending was explosive and is still talked about today.


Who created Blake’s 7?

Terry Nation, known for his work on Doctor Who, is the creator behind Blake’s 7. His vision brought a darker, more cynical flavor to British science fiction. The series stands apart from the more optimistic fare of its time.


For fans, Blake’s 7 was never just a show; it was a feeling. It was the spark of rebellion against impossible odds. The series was a potent reminder that even in the darkest corners of the galaxy, hope—however fragile—could still ignite. The show was a jagged shard of glass that reflected our own fractured world. Will a reboot recapture that raw, rebellious spirit, or will it be a pale imitation?
