Chad Stahleski discusses why John Wick is going anime. Charlie Cox teases how Jessica Jones enters the world of Daredevil: Born Again. Plus, more creepy Alien: Earth teases, and Mortal Kombat II's writer discusses trying to balance the sequel's expanded roster of kombatants. To me, my spoilers!
Clayface
According to THR, the George MacKay, Tom Blyth, Jack O'Connell and Leo Woodall are the top contenders to play the title character in Clayface.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Deadline has word Jordan Peele, Osgood Perkins, and Taylor Sheridan are pitching their respective takes for a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film–although primarily as producers, rather than directors–as the franchise rights' go under auction today.
Mortal Kombat II
Speaking with Comic Book, Mortal Kombat II screenwriter Jeremy Slater discussed balancing the upcoming sequel's 20-fighter roster 'for maximum emotional impact.'
I was adamant that we had to have this tournament in the movie. We can't make people wait another movie and then be like, 'Come back for the finale.' It was finding a structure to make the tournament as satisfying as you want it to be because this had years of build-up. It's figuring out who the individual matches are going to be, which characters do you pair off for maximum emotional impact, but also for the most dynamic fights. Then, also, what is the larger story you are telling between the tournament?
It's a cast of 20 people. It's very easy for these things to become three-to-four-hour, sprawling epics, so you always have to be judicious in cutting things down and [focused on] what's the emotional story we are telling, and what is the story the audience cares about. Then making sure when you get to those moments that matter — the fights, the fatalities, the surprises, the deaths — that they land and they are as satisfying as everyone wants them to be. I think we nailed it.
O.T.H.E.R.
After returning to her childhood home, Olga Kurlyenko finds someone has installed 'a high-tech surveillance system' that 'tracks her every move as a dark presence lurks in the shadows' in the trailer for O.T.H.E.R.
Freakier Friday
Bodies get swapped for another whimsical cosmic reckoning in the latest trailer for Freakier Friday.
Nyaight of the Living Cat
We also have another trailer for Takashi Miike's Nyaight of the Living Cat.
Daredevil: Born Again
In conversation with Deadline, Charlie Cox seemed to imply Jessica Jones already knows Daredevil isn't dead following the events of The Defenders.
When did Jessica Jones find out that I'm not dead? At the end of Defenders, everyone assumes I'm dead.
There's a mutual respect for one another. She finds him overly serious and too much of a choir boy, and he finds her to be crass and making light of too many serious situations; she's more antihero than hero.
Untitled John Wick Anime
Speaking with THR, Chad Stahleski stated the upcoming John Wick prequel series is animated because 'Keanu and I are not interested in going backwards.'
Keanu and I are not interested in going backwards. With the anime, you don't have to de-age, you don't have explain weird stuff, you don't have to add a backstory. You accept anime in its own language without explanations. Anime just goes pop.
Resident Alien
As his humanity worsens, Harry can't get the hang of drinking milk in a clip from this week's episode of Resident Alien.
Alien: Earth
FX has also released a couple more teasers for Alien: Earth.
Rick and Morty
Finally, Jerry becomes extremely buff after punching his way out of a crystal prison in the trailer for next week's episode of Rick and Morty.
