But it is only a matter of time before Eleanor will be forced to take a bloody revenge. Bamber plays Eleanor’s sister Beatrice, and Suter is Edward’s squire and Beatrice’s suitor Richard.”
Superman
In conversation with Jake’s Takes (via Screen Rant), actress Sara Sampaio revealed a scene of Ultraman punching Krypto the Superdog was cut from the final edit of Superman because “it did really bad in the test screening.”
Well, they cut Ultraman punching Krypto. Because, apparently, it did really bad in the test screening.
Sherlock Holmes 3
During a recent interview with The Direct, Jared Harris stated he “really wish[es] people would stop asking” him about the long-promised third Robert Downey, Jr. Sherlock Holmes movie set in the American West.
Yeah. I mean, I keep taking that down [on IMDb] and someone keeps putting it back up. I have no idea. No one’s talking to me about it. And I really wish people would stop asking me…It should be on there. I mean, no one’s talking to me about it. I have no clue.
I Know What You Did Last Summer
According to Bloody-Disgusting, the new I Know What You Did Last Summer has been rated R for “bloody horror violence, language throughout, some sexual content, and brief drug use.”
Afterburn
Dave Bautista, Olga Kurlyenko, and Samuel L. Jackson search for the whereabouts of the Mona Lisa after a solar flare turns Earth into a radioactive wasteland in the trailer for Afterburn.
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
Variety reports Amy Sedaris has joined the cast of Jon Favreau’s upcoming live-action/animated TV series based on Disney’s Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Sedaris is said to play the mother of Ryder Allen’s character, Taylor, though further details are currently unavailable at this time.
Lanterns
During a recent interview with The Nerdist (via Comic Book), David Corenswet described HBO’s upcoming Green Lantern series as an “R-rated project” with “a True Detective feel.”
One thing that excites me so much about James’ vision for the DCU is the different genres and tones that the movies can take on. And I know people are skeptical that certain genres and characters can mix. I would love to see this Superman in an R-rated project. In a detective, you know, in a thing like Lanterns, where it’s a True Detective feel. I just think it can happen in spite of how bright and playful this version of the character is.
Invasion
Finally, Apple TV+ has released a trailer for the third season of Invasion, premiering this August 22.
