Jennifer Jason Leigh join FX’s Far Cry TV series with Hamish Linklater. Greta Gerwig talks Meryl Streep’s Aslan in Netflix’s Narnia. Gael García Bernal calls Marvel fans to arms over future Werewolf by Night installments. And Heather Graham’s remake of The Entity seems… different from the first one, to say the least. Change, my dear. And it seems not a moment too soon. It’s Morning Spoilers!
Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew
During a recent interview with Empire, Greta Gerwig revealed why she cast Meryl Streep as the voice of Aslan in her upcoming Narnia movie at Netflix.
I wanted someone who was profound but not pretentious, who had gravitas but not morose self-seriousness. Someone who could communicate depth and pathos as well as joy and delight. I wanted someone who was older than 70, so there was a wisdom of experience, but who also had the capacity of fresh wonder, like a child. And also to be one of the greatest actors to ever do it. That list is not a long one.
Trees Are Watching
Deadline reports Martin Scorsese has boarded Trees Are Watching as a producer. Directed by Bahman Ghobadi and starring Eva Green, the story follows Darya,” a writer obsessed with the spiritual resonance of trees, returns to her hometown of Mardin with her deaf daughter and grows haunted by past memories of Spin and Nihal, twin sisters she knew as a child. Residing in their former family home — which is bordered by mass deforestation save for an ominous pair of trees planted for each sister—Darya’s unease is suddenly exacerbated by nightly visitations of a malignant entity that takes a seemingly benign form: a chair made from local timber. Soon ruminating on her checkered relationship with Spin and Nihal, the latter of whom claimed to be terrorized by a similarly fearsome fixture, specifically a maternal witch said to lurk in the home’s noisy toilet, Darya’s sanity begins to wane.”
The Batman, Part II

What Happened to Doris?
Heather Graham learns someone named Mr. Whosit lives under her daughter’s bed in the first clip from What Happened to Doris?, a new film allegedly based on the Doris Bither case.
Far Cry
Deadline also has word Brendan Gleeson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Hamish Linklater, Sam Spruell, and Jamie Demetriou have joined the season one cast of FX’s upcoming anthology series based on the Far Cry video game franchise.
Werewolf by Night 2
During a recent Reddit AMA (via Bloody-Disgusting), Gael García Bernal urged fans “to push Marvel into some sense of responsibility” to green light a second Werewolf by Night special at Disney+.
I urge you to do whatever you can, whatever is in your power, to push Marvel into some sense of responsibility and also of ambition. Because they need to do something with Jack and Ted and Werewolf By Night. It was for me a wonderful project to do, I loved doing it, I had so much fun experiencing that, and for me it was only a taste. I wish I could do more, we had many plans, I hope they materialize one day!
