Black Sheep 2
Deadline reports original director Jonathan King will return to direct a sequel to his 2006 killer sheep movie, Black Sheep, with actor Nathan Meister additionally confirmed to return as the sheep-phobic Henry Oldfield. The sequel (based on a story by Matthew Grainger, Rosie Howells and King, himself) is said to concern “a young scientist convinced that a dangerous new pathogen threatens the population and tracks it back to her hometown – which is located in the shadow of the remote sheep station where the macabre events of the original Black Sheep unfolded.”

Tremors
Fangoria also reports Tremors screenwriter S.S. Wilson recently confirmed he and co-writer Brent Maddock have re-secured the rights to the original movie at The 2nd Annual TremorsFest in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
What we have now, just got, are the rights to our original screenplay. That’s good, we can remake (Tremors) if we want to. We don’t have the rights to Shriekers, we don’t have the rights to Ass Blasters, we don’t have the rights to Tremors 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Venom 4/Agent Venom
Regular scooper DanielRPK (via Comicbook.com) suggests that Sony is looking to continue the Venom movie franchise after The Last Dance with an Agent Venom movie adapting the popular Flash Thompson comic book storyline.
Star Trek: Seven of Nine/Star Trek: Legacy
During another recent panel at Spacecon in San Antonio, Texas (via Trek Movie), Jeri Ryan revealed she turned down a Seven of Nine series spinning off from Picard, but would still be interested in appearing in Terry Matalas’s fabled Star Trek: Legacy.
There has been talk. And there was an idea that was actually pitched to me after Picard ended, which was not the Legacy show that I know the fans are asking for, that I want to do. But it just wasn’t me… it didn’t feel like the right kind of thing…But there has been talk. And if there is one thing I have learned with this franchise it is: never say never. You never know.
Superman & Lois
Finally, the citizens of Smallville are beginning to suspect Clark Kent’s secret identity in the trailer for “A Regular Guy,” next week’s episode of Superman & Lois.
