The Mummy
Deadline reports Hayat Kamille (Vikings: Valhalla) has joined the cast of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in a currently undisclosed role.
Anima
Bloody-Disgusting also has word Odette Annabelle, Allegra Leguizamo, Julio Cesar Cedillo, Tony Revolori, and Andres Londono will star in Anima, a “psychological horror movie” from director Andrés Beltrán. The story concerns Helena (Annable), “a forensic medical investigator overwhelmed by grief after the death of her husband Richard (Londono). When she becomes obsessed with a disturbing new case, Helena starts to believe she can bring Richard back—unleashing a cascade of terrifying consequences. Revolori plays Pablo, a key figure tied to the mystery that pulls Helena further into a spiral of obsession and horror. Leguizamo portrays Helena’s daughter Julia.”
Untitled Peter Jackson Projects
During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Peter Jackson—who hasn’t directed a feature since 2014—revealed he’s currently working on “three different screenplays,” but believes his ongoing efforts with Colossal Biosciences to bring the giant moa back from extinction is “just as exciting.”
No, no. I’m certainly not retired. We are currently working on three different screenplays. I’m at the moment writing three different scripts.
We are producing and have been writing The Hunt for Gollum, which Andy Serkis is going to direct next year. I’ve enjoyed working on documentaries, whether they show I’ve grown old or not, and obviously the Get Back The Beatles project. I’ve enjoyed doing various things with The Beatles, which is great, and that’ll probably carry on.
But to me, de-extincting the Moa would be just as exciting, if not more exciting, than any film I could possibly make. I’ve made a lot of movies, but to see the Giant Moa brought back would be a level of excitement that I think would supersede anything at this point in time.
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Speaking with People, Freddie Prinze Jr. stated he believes the new I Know What You Did Last Summer includes “the best work” he and co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt have done “in all three of the movies [they’ve done] together.”
I’m really proud of the work that Love and I got to do on screen. I think it’s the best work we’ve done in all three of the movies that we did together. And I don’t think it’s close.
Barbie 2
In conversation with Bustle, Sydney Sweeney stated she “would not be opposed” to a role in a (still entirely hypothetical) sequel to 2023’s Barbie.
I’d have to read a script, but I’m a huge, huge fan of Margot [Robbie], so I would not be opposed to it.
Garfield 2
Elsewhere, THR reports that Chris Pratt will once again voice Garfield in an unexpected sequel to last year’s poorly reviewed The Garfield Movie. However, “producers are searching for a writer and director” willing to make it.
Keeper
Fangoria also has a poster for Osgood Perkins’ mysterious new horror project, Keeper.
