Supergirl Starts Filming With a Tease Straight Out of the Comics

Garth Ennis’ Crossed is making its way to the big screen. The stars of Heart Eyes tease what makes its masked villain stand out in the slasher field. Plus, somehow Steamboat Willie has returned to horror, and a tease of what awaits in Outlander‘s final season. To me, my spoilers!

Crossed

THR reports a film adaptation of Garth Ennis’s infamous comic book series, Crossed, is finally moving forward at Six Studios with Rob Jabazz (The Sadness) attached to direct. The series concerns a global pandemic in which the infected develop a cross-like mark on their faces and begin to act on their most depraved, sexually violent impulses.

Alien: Romulus Sequel

Fede Alvarez denied yesterday’s rumor Sigourney Weaver will reprise her role as Ellen Ripley in the Alien: Romulus sequel.

Fun gossip. But not true at all.

Orphan 3

During a recent interview with THR, Isabelle Fuhrman revealed she’s begun work on a third Orphan movie.

I’ve begun. I’ve read the script, and while I don’t want to give anything away, it’s the only reason I would go back and do another one. When they first said, “We’re going to make another one,” I was like, “You guys are nuts!” But the script is so good. I was like, “OK! A hundred percent. This is a great idea, actually.” So I’m really excited for the fans of the franchise. It’s funny to even say that because it wasn’t a franchise when I signed onto it at nine years old. So I’m just really grateful that it has turned into something that is so much bigger.

Presence

In conversation with AP News, Steven Soderbergh revealed he gave his cinematographer pseudonym, “Peter Andrews,” a camera operator credit in Presence.

No, but what I did is subtle. For the first and only time Peter Andrews has a camera operator credit. That’s not a credit that I typically take because I don’t need it and I typically have another operator working with me. But I felt like this was a workout. It was tricky, but really fun. It was another level of performance anxiety because I ruined more takes than anyone else in the film by a larger factor. I was the one going: “Cut. I f—ed that up. We got to go again.”

Heart Eyes

Scream 5, 6 & 7 star Mason Gooding spoke to Screen Rant about how the killer in his new slasher film, Heart Eyes, differentiates themselves from Ghostface.

It’s funny because HEK [Heart Eyes Killer] has such a brutality to [them] that seems as if it’s hard to track the motive or the understanding of why these things take place, which allows for a level of horror that I think is alternative to Scream‘s meticulous, methodical, more domesticated style of horror. HEK’s arsenal is also pretty f–king medieval with a crossbow. Trauma flashbacks.

But with Ghostface, I think the allure of that character is that it could be anybody, specifically people in your neighborhood and the people that you grew up with. That’s what drives that terror. With HEK, regardless of who it is, the threat is so imminent and insurmountable that it feels like, if Heart Eyes were written under any other circumstances and followed one person? That person’s getting folded like a f–king lawn chair.

But my trick for surviving them apparently is just a lot of sit-ups because Chad’s been stabbed [so many] times in the stomach and walked away that it’s got to be something from a physical fitness standpoint. Maybe he’s just an immortal deity, I don’t know. It could be that.

I Heart Willie

Bloody-Disgusting reports I Heart Willie–a second slasher movie based on the public domain cartoon, Steamboat Willie–will enjoy a one-night only theatrical release across North America this February 26.  Directed by Alejandro G. Alegre, the story concerns YouTubers “invited to investigate a haunted property drawn by rumors of a malevolent force. The legend centers around a boy born with deformities, resembling a human-mouse hybrid, who inspired Walt Disney’s Steamboat Willie.”

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

Milly Alcock shared an image of herself as Kara Zor-El on the set of Supergirl, teasing a recreation of the bar scene from Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s Woman of Tomorrow comic.

Dog Man

A new featurette sees Lil Rel Howery recording his lines as the Chief in Dog Man.

Bloat

Ben McKenzie’s son is possessed by a kappa in the trailer for Bloat, co-starring Bojana Novakovic, Malcolm Fuller, Sawyer Jones and Kane Kosugi.

Outlander

Finally, Showtime has released a brief teaser for the eighth and final season of Outlander “coming soon.”
