Coralie Fargeat teases what’s next for her after The Substance. Scream 7 starts production. Plus, what’s coming on the next Ghosts, and get a look at a creepy new killer smart house series coming to Netflix, Cassandra. Spoilers, away!
Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi
In conversation with MovieWeb, James Mangold discussed why he wanted to set his Star Wars movie tens of thousands of years before the Skywalker Saga.
The Star Wars movie would be taking place 25,000 years before any known Star Wars movies takes place. It’s an area and a playground that I’ve always [wanted to explore] and that I was inspired by as a teenager. I’m not that interested in being handcuffed by so much lore at this point that it’s almost immovable, and you can’t please anybody.
Untitled Coralie Fargeat Project
Speaking with Variety, Coralie Fargeat stated her next movie will be “totally different” from The Substance, “but with a lot of similarities,” too.
For now I’m not discussing anything. I’m just enjoying the moment and taking some time as I really want to write my next project,” she told Variety. “It’s slowly starting to be put in motion in the back of my brain and when things calm down I’ll take it from there. It’s going to be totally different [than The Substance] but with a lot of similarities. I love to make bold and surprising films with things that you don’t expect, so definitely that’s what I want to do. And I love the freedom that I gave myself for this film and that’s certainly something I want to keep doing.
Scream 7
Filming is officially underway on Scream 7, according to Kevin Williamson on Instagram.
Dog Man
Lil Rel Howery, Isla Fisher, and Pete Davidson discuss voicing their Dog Man characters in a new featurette.
House of the Dragon
During a recent interview with CBS, Tom Glynn-Carney stated we’ll see a “different version” of King Aegon when House of the Dragon returns for a third season.
He’s on a new chapter. I think he’s a way more focused, driven version of Aegon that we’ve seen. I haven’t yet read the season 3 scripts, so it’s difficult to say what the writers have discussed, what they’ve decided on. I’m assured there’s a lot to come. I’ve had a little chat about the arc and how excited I should be about taking it on. I think we’ll see a different version of him, which is quite exciting.
