Gundam

Remember Me
Bloody-Disgusting reports Brec Bassinger (Final Destination: Bloodlines) will star in Remember Me, a film adaptation of the novel by Christopher Pike at Tubi. Directed by Danishka Esterhazy (Slumber Party Massacre) the young adult supernatural murder-mystery concerns the deceased Shari Cooper, who fell from the top of a high-rise to the street below and is tasked with solving her own murder posthumously. Mila Rayne, Phoebe Lyons, Matthew Vey, and Kealeboga Masango are attached to co-star.
The Dregs
Deadline reports filming has wrapped on The Dregs, a “comedic thriller” with supernatural elements starring Stephen Lang, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Piper Curda, Maddie Phillips, Max Lloyd-Jones, and Charlie Gillespie. Directed by Connor Martin, the story centers on “a friends’ trip to the Italian Alps that takes a terrifying turn after they drink a cursed bottle of Grappa. Lang plays the antagonist, a bitter Alpine waiter whose family recipe for Grappa involves alchemy and witchcraft.”
71 Minutes
According to THR, Jason Reitman is attached to direct 71 Minutes, a “supernatural thriller” at Sony Pictures produced through the “Ghost Corp” sub-label of Ghostbusters-related media. Based on a spec script by Ian Shorr, the story is only described as a “real-time thriller about a man who needs to elude his pursuers in a ticking clock scenario and only has 71 minutes until the sun rises to do so.”
Stepsisters
Deadline also has word Akiva Schaffer, Dan Gregor and Doug Mand are attached to direct Stepsisters at Disney, a movie focusing on Cinderella’s “ugly” stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella.

Daredevil: Born Again
In a recent Twitter post, Vincent D’Onofrio blamed the Punisher’s absence from the latest season of Daredevil: Born Again due to the character “hangin’ with that insect” in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as well as filming his own “special” at Disney+.
If John wasn't busy making his own hour long Punisher film and hangin with that insect we would have wanted him to join us in Season 2 for sure.
Yet he had a wonderful opportunity to do the other projects and i for one can't wait to see him in those.— Vincent D'Onofrio (@vincentdonofrio) March 23, 2026
