Zak Penn confirms Ready Player 2 is still in development. Two new horror movies tackle tennis and titanoboas. The Jimmy Olsen/Gorilla Grodd show casts someone named “Sandra”— and it isn’t Lady Shiva. Also, don’t expect to learn who’s playing the next James Bond before “the end of the year,” according to producer Amy Pascal. If at first you don’t succeed, Mr. Kidd… try, try again, Mr. Wint! It’s Morning Spoilers!
Bond 26 During a recent interview with Deadline, producer Amy Pascal stated it’s a “good bet” the next actor to play James Bond will be announced sometime around “the end of the year.” I would say the end of the year is a good bet. We are being really, really methodical. Having worked with Barbara Broccoli at the studio, I mean, Daniel Craig is a hard act to follow. And it’s got to be something really different that is a stirring and exciting and different. Ready Player 2 Speaking with The Direct, writer Zak Penn answered “I am working on it” when asked if Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player Two was still in development. Bloody Tennis Variety reports Shudder has acquired the U.S. rights to Bloody Tennis, a new “sports-horror” movie from director Nikias Chryssos. Starring Guldberg Kampp, Helena Zengel, Tracy Gotoas, Lucie Zhang, Lily Taieb, Elina Löwensohn, and Zlatko Burić, the story concerns an “elite tennis academy hidden deep in Southern Europe,” where an athlete named Sophie (Guldberg Kampp) “must contend not only with the fierce brutality of her teammates but with the school’s increasingly sinister undercurrents, where competitive sports are taken to their painful limits and only the hungriest survive.” Beware Boiúna Bloody-Disgusting has new images from Beware Boiúna, a “Titanoboa-inspired horror movie” from director Mike P. Nelson. Scheduled for an October 10 theatrical release, the story concerns “a medical mission that turns into a fight for survival against the colossal ancient snake, Boiúna.” Kiana Madeira (Fear Street), Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day), and Logan Marshall-Green (Prometheus) star. Big Baby A screenwriter is haunted by his Jason Voorhees-esque creation in a new clip from Big Baby, directed by Powerman 5000 frontman Spider-One.
