John Boyega is set to produce a new UK fantasy/horror film from writer-director Keir Burrows. Described as a “creature feature,” the film concerns a recently widowed mother returning to her father’s isolated hotel, only to learn it’s been taken over by a Cornish troll of the film’s title.

Drax
Speaking with MTV International, Dave Bautista stated he hopes Drax still gets his own solo film, even if he doesn’t play the character himself.
I think it’s a beautiful story and I think it’s been lost and overlooked a little bit. It’s a beautiful and heartbreaking emotional thing to know where that love for his family and that heartbreak over his family being lost and murdered, where it comes from I think. I really pushed and fought for the Drax standalone film but I don’t think it’s ever going to happen. I really wish they would because I think there’s a story to be told there and I think the fans would really love to see that story, even if it’s not me portraying Drax, I just think it is an interesting story to tell.
