Superman

According to “multiple attendees” at a recent screening of James Gunn’s Superman (via Comic Book Movie), the film begins with a Star Wars-esque opening text crawl contextualizing the new DCU.

Relatedly, Perry White summons the Daily Planet crew in a new clip from the Kelly Clarkson show.


The Mummy

Filming has officially “wrapped” on Lee Cronin’s The Mummy


I Know What You Did Last Summer

Freddie Prinze, Jr. says ” I love watching pretty people get killed in horror movies, I just think that’s amazing” in a new I Know What You Did Last Summer featurette.


Xeno

Lulu Wilson befriends a “biological machine designed to kill women” in the trailer for Xeno, featuring alien designs by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.


Eternal

Elsewhere, a climate change scientist investigating a mysterious fracture on the ocean floor begins to regret his life choices in the trailer for Eternal.


Very Young Frankenstein

Deadline reports a Young Frankenstein prequel series from Mel Brooks and What We Do in the Shadows‘ Stefani Robinson, Taikia Waititi, and Garrett Basch is “nearing” a pilot order at FX. Should the pilot be commissioned, Waititi is attached to direct.


Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Speaking with Strange New Pod (via Screen Rant), Babs Olusanmokun stated the new season of Strange New Worlds doesn’t “full touch on” the “repercussions” of Dr. M’Benga murdering the Klingon ambassador last year.

Well, in season 3, there’s definitely the repercussions of that. We don’t fully touch on them, but there is definitely remnants, pieces of recollection in season 3. And then we find some other challenges. But I think that particular moment is something that is now his history, part of him, and it’s something that is going to be the beginning of ‘should I or should I not?’ Those thoughts are going to stay with him for a long time.
