Naughty
THR reports Samara Weaving has joined the cast of Naughty, the upcoming “holiday-comedy” from director Olivia Wilde described as “Bridesmaids in the North Pole.” Co-starring Jennifer Aniston, Peter Dinklage, Chase Sui Wonders, Regina Hall, and Ike Barinholtz, the story concerns “a mother (Aniston), whose only hope of securing custody of her son from her gaslighting trash-bag ex is to find Santa Claus (Peter Dinklage) and convince him to testify in her divorce hearing.”
Scapegoat
Deadline also reports Cory Michael Smith has joined the cast of Ari Aster’s mysterious Scapegoat in a currently undisclosed role.
A Quiet Place Part III
During a recent interview with Collider, Jack O’Connell revealed he’s playing Cillian Murphy’s brother in A Quiet Place Part III.
A Quiet Place was, that felt like family. It’s about family, obviously. Got John Krasinski and Emily Blunt involved, and Cillian and I play brothers. There was a real familial feel to that one. It was cool, man. But horror’s popping off. People are turning out for horror. So it’s great. Yeah, it’s amazing.
The Blair Witch Project
According to insider Daniel Richtman (via Dread Central), Patrick Scott McDermott, Dominic Bogart, Mila Hayhurst, and Holly Hayhurst are attached to star in Dylan Clark’s upcoming Blair Witch movie.
Evil Dead Wrath/Evil Dead
During a recent Q&A attended by Deadline, Jane Levy seemed to suggest her Evil Dead character, Mia, is set to return in either Evil Dead Wrath or a future film in the franchise.
I have a question. Do you guys think Mia should come back to Evil Dead? OK, I was just checking. That’s all. Let’s call Sam’s Skype number right now and see if he wants Mia to come back.
The MCU/Guardians of the Galaxy
Appearing as a guest on the Bingeworthy podcast (via The Playlist), Chris Pratt confirmed there are indeed plans in place for Star-Lord’s return in the MCU.
I have a great relationship with Kevin [Feige] and Lou [D’Esposito], and there have been both ongoing conversations about how we make good on that promise and also hard action taken to make sure that we make good on that promise. So yeah, you’ll see Star-Lord again, which is very exciting, but I’m not at liberty to say when that’s going to be, but he’s not going anywhere.
Man of Tomorrow/Wonder Woman
Meanwhile, Comic Book notes Adria Arjona recently liked an Instagram post by James Gunn that showed an image of Wonder Woman (captured here by Home of DCU).

Pagans
Deadline reports Sabine Grace, Logan Kim, Marin Ireland, and Intae Kim will star alongside Steven Yeun in Pagans, an upcoming “supernatural drama” series at at Netflix. The show is said to follows a man named Gus (Yeun),”who becomes the sole caretaker of his two children after the tragic loss of his wife. While his son Nate (Logan Kim) is typical, his daughter, Alice (Grace), is anything but. What starts as a strained father-daughter relationship soon evolves into something far more sinister.” Grace is said to play Alice, “the family’s black sheep” who “keeps the world at arm’s length and lives largely in her own head” opposite Logan Kim’s “well-liked and dependable” Nate, who “often feels like an afterthought at home having grown up in the shadow of his younger sister Alice.”
Zero Hour
Deadline reports Paramount+ is now developing Zero Hour, a new “sci-fi thriller series” from showrunner Matthew Michael Carnahan (World War Z) AGBO (Everything Everywhere All at Once) and Paramount Television Studios “based on the short story” by Harrison Query (The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey, Trigger Point). According to the official synopsis, “When mysterious ovals appear in the sky, the world changes forever. In the minutes that follow, a wife fights to keep her ailing husband alive, a doomsday prepper races to get his family to safety, teenage runaways are caught in the middle of a bank robbery, and a brilliant young presidential aide scrambles to make sense of it all. What begins as a pulse-pounding survival story slowly unravels into a sweeping mystery, as the truth about who these visitors are, and why they have come, upends everything humanity thought it knew about first contact.”
