Sequel Buzz

Just in time for Halloween, the teaser trailer for the new documentary HORROR ICON: INSIDE MICHAEL'S MASK WITH TONY MORAN has been released.


For those who are unaware, Tony Moran played Michael Myers in the original 1978 HALLOWEEN -- but there's a catch, Moran only portrayed the unmasked Myers towards the climax of the film (Nick Castle played Myers for the majority).

Check out the teaser below...

The first season of Starz's ASH VS. EVIL DEAD hasn't even debuted yet -- and a second season has already been granted!
It’ll be a double celebration tonight on Hollywood Boulevard for director/executive producer Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Lucy Lawless and the rest of the Ash Vs. Evil Dead gang. Not only will they be whooping it up at the Starz series’ red-carpet premiere at the Chinese Theater with a performance by Iggy Pop, but they’ll also probably be pulling the chainsaw cord in joy over being picked up for a second season. ASH VS. EVIL DEAD premieres Halloween night.

As with the Joker Empire cover, Harley Quinn gets her own as well!


Say what you will, but I dig the look of SUICIDE SQUAD -- and Harley Quinn.

The new APES sequel, WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, has added a new cast member: Sara Canning.  Now let's get apey.
The simian army’s ranks continue to swell, as Hell On Wheels actress Sara Canning has joined the cast of War For The Planet Of The Apes. She’s set to play a new ape character — though, as is par for the course with the production, details about her character and the role she’ll play have not been revealed. The film does, however, pick up after the events of 2014’s Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, and sees returning star Andy Serkis as Caesar joined by Gabriel Chavarria, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn and the recently announced Aleks Paunovic. Happy with this casting choice?  You should be.

Paul King, the writer/director of PADDINGTON, will be returning to those same roles for PADDINGTON 2.
It’s official: Paul King will return to write and direct the sequel to smash hit Paddington, Deadline can confirm. The filmmaker, who had been courted by both producer David Heyman and financier-distributor StudioCanal ever since the first film proved a critical and commercial success earlier this year, will work with Simon Farnaby on the story to the second in what all involved hope becomes a long-running franchise. I'll be honest, I didn't see the first movie, but I'm sure this will interest some.

Holy hell!  A new Movie Sequel-a-Day post!  Shit, it's about time.  Today's sequel is one that has gathered its fanbase over the years, but has the good-fortune of being associated with one of horror's elite franchises.  This is 1991's CHILD'S PLAY 3.

Breakdown:
It's been eight years since the events in the second film, we now see that Andy is a teenager who has been enrolled in a military school. Play Pals Toy Company decides to re-release its Good Guys line, feeling that after all this time, the bad publicity has died down. As they re-used old materials, the spirit of Charles Lee Ray once again comes to life. In his search for Andy, Chucky falls into the hands of a younger boy, and he realizes that it may be easier to transfer his soul into this unsuspecting child. Andy is the only one who knows what Chucky is up to, and it's now up to him to put a stop to it.

Growing up, this is the one CHILD'S PLAY film that I w…

Recently speaking with the Associated Press, STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS director J.J. Abrams was asked about the absence of Luke Skywalker in all of the media for the latest movie.  In fact, there hasn't been any sign of Luke.

J.J. kept his answer simple:
It's no accident. Fan theories suggest that Luke either has undergone a physical transformation -- or he's joined the dark side.  Either way, the lack of Luke has been a calculated step.

Unless you've been living under a rock, there's a new photo of Jared Leto as the Joker in the upcoming SUICIDE SQUAD making the rounds -- he's gracing the cover of Empire.
