Super Mario World

An NBCUniversal press release about upcoming movies that will stream on Peacock unintentionally revealed that the sequel to the Super Mario Bros. Movie will be named Super Mario World, in reference to 1990 SNES classic, however mentions of the movie title were scrubbed hours after publication, so make of that what you will.


She Kills Them

Variety reports Kate Mara will star in She Kills Them, “a vampire romantic comedy” described as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Fleabag.” Directed by Dan Clark, the story follows “Chloe Jacobs, a woman in her late 30s living a dangerous double life. By night, she seduces and slays vampires as part of a secret government operation. By day, she’s just another jaded New Yorker trying to figure out her personal life. But when she meets Eric–someone she actually connects with–her two worlds collide.”


Flesh of the Gods

Speaking of vampires, Deadline reports Elizabeth Olsen will star alongside Kristen Stewart and Oscar Isaac in Flesh of the Gods, an 80s-set vampire drama taking place in a “glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills and violence.” Directed by Panos Cosmatos (Mandy), the story concerns Raoul and Alex, “a married couple in glittering ’80s L.A. who descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm. When they cross paths with the mysterious and enigmatic Nameless (Elizabeth Olsen) and her hard-partying cabal, Raoul and Alex are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills and violence.”


Colony

Variety also reports Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan) will direct Colony, a new horror-thriller starring Gianna Jun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook and Shin Hyun-been. In the film, “a biotechnology conference descends into chaos when a rapidly mutating virus transforms the infected, forcing authorities to seal off the facility with survivors trapped inside.”


Headless

Deadline additionally reports Peter and Michael Spierig (Fall 2, Jigsaw) are attached to direct Headless, a contemporary Headless Horseman movie “with nods to Mad Max and The Terminator.” The story is said to follow “a rudderless hitchhiker and a driven woman avenging her family’s death [who] must stop a motorcycle-riding semi-immortal ghoul that feeds off the carnage it causes on desert highways by decapitating it and getting its head far enough away, long enough, from its relentlessly pursuant still-living body.”

Two new Fear Street posters over at Fangoria pay tribute to Carrie and Prom Night.
