<\/p>\n
They Call Him Zorro <\/p>\n
Deadline<\/a> reports Joe Begos (Christmas Bloody Christmas, Jimmy and Stiggs) is attached to direct a violent, potentially supernatural take on Zorro said to \u201cdraw on the original writings of Johnston McCulley, who first introduced Zorro in his 1919 novel The Curse of Capistrano, but through a horror lens.\u201d The synopsis reads: \u201cWhen Diego Vega is framed by a group of dirty city officials for a crime he didn\u2019t commit, he escapes from prison and starts a relentless no-holds barred vengeance on corruption and crime in present day Los Angeles. The media quickly finds a name for the masked vigilante riding a black El Camino armed with chains, machetes, electric saws, and a sawed-off shotgun: Zorro.\u201d<\/p>\n Carry Me to My Grave <\/p>\n Deadline<\/a> also has word Francis Lawrence (The Long Walk, The Hunger Games) is attached to direct a film adaptation of Christopher Golden\u2018s upcoming supernatural horror novel, Carry Me to My Grave, at Lionsgate.<\/p>\n The Blair Witch <\/p>\n Deadline<\/a> reports the new Blair Witch\u00a0will \u201cdeal with a family that goes on a camping trip but goes missing one by one after they hear strange noises in the forest.\u201d<\/p>\n Man of Tomorrow <\/p>\n In a recent interview with THR<\/a>, Lars Eidinger, who will play Brainiac in James Gunn\u2019s upcoming Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, briefly touched on the films\u2019 \u201cphilosophical ambition\u201d and \u201cgreat allegorical weight.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s not as different as you might think. Even if it seems surprising at first, these films have a serious philosophical ambition. They carry great allegorical weight for me. Take just the word \u201csuper\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s used as a superlative, for something excellent, wonderful. But \u201csuper\u201d really only means \u201cover\u201d or \u201cabove.\u201d So Superman is the \u00dcbermensch. You have the Super Ego. There\u2019s already a deep psychological dimension built in.<\/p>\n Last week I was on set during rehearsals and asked if I could watch some of the filming, which had already started. And I saw an actor in the Superman costume, suspended on wires in front of a bluescreen. I looked at that image and thought: This is the essence of fiction. It\u2019s as significant an image as Hamlet holding the skull: Superman, in that Superman pose, hanging from wires in front of a\u202fbluescreen.<\/p>\n Being in the Superman universe wasn\u2019t a dream or burning desire for me. But now that it\u2019s happening, I can see a certain inevitability in it, something almost fated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Lanterns <\/p>\n James Gunn promised a new Lanterns trailer sometime later today in a recent Instagram<\/a> post.<\/p>\n The Vampire Lestat <\/p>\n As noted by Bloody-Disgusting<\/a>, a new track from The Vampire Lestat titled \u201cButterscotch Bitch\u201d is now available to stream on Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Rifftrax Experiments <\/p>\n The latest behind-the-scenes video from Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Rifftrax Experiments sees the new Satellite of Love set under construction. However, no explanation is given for the elf with the olive loaf.<\/p>\n The Boys <\/p>\n Finally, Butcher promises \u201cshock and awe, blood and bone\u201d in the trailer for this week\u2019s series finale of The Boys.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Want more io9 news?
