Official Trailer for Brand New Cherry Flavor Series Hits the Internet

Netflix dropped the official trailer for the supernatural horror limited series Brand New Cherry Flavor which premieres on the streamer August 13. The show is inspired by a novel of the same name by Todd Grimson and stars Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place), Catherine Keener (Get Out), and Jeff Ward (Agents of Shield). Showrunners Nick Antosca (Channel Zero) and Lenore Zion (Billions) will also write the show.

The series takes place in the 1990’s LA—Hollywood, to be specific. Filmmaker Lisa N. Nova (Salazar) is a wide-eyed young woman looking to break into the movie industry. She meets with Lou Burke, a Hollywood producer who promises to help her get the connections she needs to become a big-time director. Sh*t goes downhill when Lou betrays Lisa, and she aims to seek revenge. To do that, she asks a witch (Keener) to hex Lou and make his life a living hell. But as you know, this always comes at a cost.

Here is the official synopsis of the film, which describes it better than I ever could.

“Lisa N. Nova (Rosa Salazar) comes to LA dead set on directing her first movie. But when she trusts the wrong person and gets stabbed in the back, everything goes sideways, and a dream project turns into a nightmare. This particular nightmare has zombies, hitmen, supernatural kittens, and a mysterious tattoo artist who likes to put curses on people. And Lisa’s going to have to figure out some secrets from her own past in order to get out alive.”

Zombies, witches, and KITTENS?! Wonder how Antosca and Zion make that combo work? To get a sense of the intense craziness of this show, check out the trailer. Let us know what you think!

The Only Version of Return of the King Worth Watching Missing From Max After Streaming Bug

Screenshot: Warner Bros. Bad news for Max subscribers who’ve made re-watching The Lord of the Rings extended editions an annual New Year tradition: the third film in the trilogy, The Return of the King — which just celebrated its 20th anniversary! —is only available to stream in its theatrical version. No ancient evil is to blame, thankfully; it’s an unspecified “tech issue,” according to a Max spokesperson who responded to a comment request from Vulture after the issue was noted by dismayed fans on Reddit . The fact that The Return of the King extended edition is merely temporarily unavailable is actually good news given Max’s track record for removing content in the past, and the explanation makes sense considering The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers remain available in both their theatrical and extended editions. The Max spokesperson assured Vulture that The Return of the King extended edition will be, ah, returning soon to the service, though as of this writing i...

That’s right, a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza has mysteriously appeared in Hollywood. Like in the game and upcoming film, it’s a run-down spot that’s been closed down due to some mysterious activity within.
