Eternal Champions
THR reports Skydance has hired Derek Connolly (Jurassic World) to write a script for a live-action movie based on Sega’s 1993 fighting game, Eternal Champions. The story concerns various characters from disparate time periods fighting to the death for a chance at reincarnation. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger will produce alongside Sega’s Toru Nakahara.
Shang-Chi 2
During a recent interview with The Press Trust of India, Simu Liu confirmed a sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is still “definitely happening” at Disney and Marvel.
A lot of it is above my pay grade but it’s definitely happening. So, just very excited to kind of work on it and it’s going to be amazing. I really can’t say anything beyond that.
Apartment 7A
Bloody-Disgusting has a new poster for Apartment 7A, the Rosemary’s Baby prequel coming to Paramount+ this September 27.
Wildwood
Laika has released a teaser trailer for Wildwood, its new stop-motion feature about a girl who must retrieve her baby brother from a forbidden forest after he’s kidnapped by a murder of crows.
The Zombie Wedding
We also have a trailer for The Zombie Wedding, the first Weekly World News movie co-starring Cheri Oteri, Seth Gilliam, Heather Matarazzo, Kevin Chamberlin, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Vincent Pastore, Ajay Naidu and Micky Dolenz.
Daredevil: Born Again
During his recent appearance at FanExpo Chicago (via Screen Rant), Charlie Cox suggested his Daredevil may yet join the MCU’s Avengers, after all.
I have to be so careful. Look, I can’t!; I’m not going to say, there’s so many. There’s one particular group of people that I would like to be invited to play with… But we’ll get into that a little bit later.
Alien: Earth
Speaking with THR, Noah Hawley confirmed filming has wrapped on his Alien TV series at FX.
We just wrapped. I’m in post, editing away. Obviously, there’s a large visual effects component that takes time. But I couldn’t be happier with the show that we shot. If people wanted a television series based on the world of Alien, I think I’m going to give them something special.
Rick and Morty: The Anime
Finally, Rick fights an alternate version of himself in a clip from this week’s episode of Rick and Morty: The Anime.
