‘Avengers: Doomsday' Set Pictures May Tease a Huge X-Men Threat
David Dastmalchian wants in on Clayface. Margaret Qualley has had to drop out of Victorian Psycho. Plus, get new looks at Bring Her Back and the return of Rick & Morty. To me, my spoilers!
Night After Night
Deadline reports Josh Lobo (I Trapped the Devil) is attached to direct Night After Night, a 'sci-fi thriller' starring Johnny Sibilly, Alexis Louder, Trace Lysette, AJ Bowen, Scott Poythress, Horace Gold, Melissa Macedo, Michelle Macedo, and Jennifer Blair. The story concerns 'two overnight security guards at a private university whose grip on reality begins to unravel after the appearance of a mute figure who returns each night without explanation.'
Species
Meanwhile, Screen Daily reports Karin Viard, Mara Taquin, Kim Higelin, Sami Outalbali, Stefan Crepon and Sonia Faidi are attached to star in Species a French body horror film baring no relation to the 1995 film of the same title. Directed by Marion Le Corroller and eaturing special effects from Pierre-Olivier Persin (The Substance), the story concerns 'a young medical student working at an ER [who] witnesses a new virus spreading among young patients, a mysterious mutation among the new generation that starts affecting her.'
Victorian Psycho
According to Deadline, Maika Monroe has replaced Margaret Qualley in the lead role of Victorian Psycho.
Clayface
David Dastmalchian revealed to /Film he's actively campaigning to play Clayface in the new DCU project.
The thing that made me want to add it to my roster was honestly, first and foremost, the people involved. That's the most important thing to me. You're going to spend precious hours of your life, which is so short, with people making something? It's the people. And Paul and Chris [Weitz] are very special human beings. I am always looking for something that scares me, looking for something that's outside of the realm of what I've normally gotten the opportunity to do. Something that's going to take me to a new place where I can push myself.
I grew up obsessed with the work of artists like Lon Chaney, who transformed in both visual and energetic ways. And I love the idea of running into somebody and them saying, 'You remind me of the guy that kind of was like the person in The Thing, but that couldn't be you.' I dream of that. I dream of being truly transformative, and I'll just keep working at it for the rest of my life so I can be like Clayface. I want to be Clayface.
