Somehow, a Sequel to Ready or Not Is In the Works
New Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes footage teases simian shenanigans. Invincible swaps out Ezra Miller with another familiar voice. Plus, new looks at The Strangers, and Netflix’s attempts to make Woody Woodpecker happen again. Spoilers, away!
Ready or Not
By a similar token, The InSneider reports Samara Weaving is attached to return for Ready or Not 2.
Thundercats
Director Adam Wingard promised his Thundercats movie will be “100%” faithful “to the 80's version” during a recent interview with Screen Rant.
My version is going to be 100% the ‘80's version. I’ve seen the rebooted anime one, but if I’m honest, the 80's one that’s what Thundercats is to me, and that’s what I’d be creating. When I was in high school, I was so into Thundercats that I wrote this 270-something-page screenplay, like hand-written screenplay on it. It was my biggest dream growing up, to make a Thundercat’s movie, and so, here I am with the ability to actually do that. I’m still kind of fulfilling that dream.
