Io9 2025 Spoiler warning

Backrooms 2

Deadline has word director Kane Parsons is now seeking a screenwriting partner for a sequel to Backrooms.


Little One

Deadline reports David Harbour and Gaby Hoffman have joined the cast of Little One, Alex Kavutskiy’s feature debut with producers Zach Cregger and Roy Lee. The “dark comedy” with genre elements is said to concern the “sudden change in a child’s behavior” as it “threatens to tear apart a picture-perfect family.”


Red Sea

Deadline also reports Natasha Lyonne is attached to produce Red Sea, a survival thriller from director Lina Malaika following “a group of young friends aboard a luxury yacht whose carefree escape spirals into a nightmare after a series of unexpected events leaves them stranded far from shore. As isolation, fear, and paranoia begin to unravel the group, they discover they are not alone beneath the surface.”


Barbarella

According to Deadline, Edgar Wright’s Barbarella remake starring Sydney Sweeney is “still moving forward” at the actress’s new production company, Honey Trap.


Anything But Ghosts

Deadline additionally reports Chris Reinacher (The Mindy Project) has joined the cast of Anything But Ghosts in a currently undisclosed role.


Possession

In a recent interview with Numero (via Bloody-Disgusting), Isabelle Adjani revealed she once met Margaret Qualley and more-or-less endorsed her taking on the “talismanic role” of Anna/Helen in the upcoming remake of Possession.

When I met Margaret at a dinner party a few years ago, she told me she looked more like me than her mother, so it seems this family resemblance influenced the director’s choice of actress for the role in Possession. Besides, she’s incredibly talented! And yes, Possession, a film that dares to be mystical and horrific, and this talismanic role, has achieved cult status. Today, the new cinematic extremism that has become trendy has led to remakes of films like Possession, with a certain enlightened opportunism. Why not?


Man of Tomorrow

New video from the set of Man of Tomorrow sees Superman shrugging off an angry mob’s attack with a single flex.


Black Box

A UFO of the flying humanoid variety hounds a commercial airliner traveling from New Orleans to Seattle in the trailer for Black Box.


Life Is Strange

Variety reports Billy Barratt, Emily Carey, Esther McGregor, Faly Rakotohavana, and Mia Isaac have joined the cast of Amazon’s live-action TV series based on the video game Life Is Strange. The project already counts with Tatum Grace Hopkins as Max, “a photography student, who discovers she can rewind time while saving the life of her childhood best friend, Chloe.”

Barratt will play Nathan, “one of Chloe and Max’s classmates” opposite Carey as Victoria Chase, “one of Nathan’s best friends.” McGregor will play Rachel Amber, a “student who goes missing,” while Rakotohavana has been cast as Warren, “another friend of Max’s”. Isaac rounds out the cast as Kate Marsh, “a good friend of Max’s.”


Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
