Florence Pugh is currently slated to star in Alexander SkarsgĂ„rd’s directorial debut, a wilderness survival horror/thriller titled The Pack. MCM Comic Con gave fans a look at the new costumes for the Doctor Who 60th-anniversary special. Plus, Kate Mulgrew discusses a potential Janeway-centric Star Trek TV series. Lead the way to spoilers!

The Forest Hills

According to Deadline, Shelly Duvall will make her long-awaited return to acting with The Forest Hills, the upcoming werewolf film from writer-director Scott Goldberg. Co-starring Edward Furlong, Chiko Mendez, and Dee Wallace the story follows “a disturbed man who is tormented by nightmarish visions after enduring head trauma while camping in the Catskill Mountains.” Duvall will play “the mother of the mentally and emotionally disturbed Rico (Mendez), who serves as his inner voice.”


The Pack

Deadline additionally reports Florence Pugh will star in The Pack, the directorial debut of actor Alexander SkarsgÄrd. The story is said to follow
“a group of documentarians who brave the remote wilderness of Alaska in an effort to save a nearly extinct species of wolves. When the crew is brought back together at a prestigious awards ceremony, tensions flare as a deadly truth threatens to unravel their work. The team lived through the harsh elements of the wild but will a secret they share survive the night?”


Horrorscope

Deadline also has word Harriet Slater has joined the cast of Horrorscope, the upcoming film in which “a group of college friends who get their horoscopes read begin dying in ways connected to their fortunes.”


Star Trek: Janeway

In a recent interview with Trek Movie, Kate Mulgrew stated a potential Kathryn Janeway series would have to be “absolutely exquisite.”

[Alex Kurtzman] said, ‘I think it’s in discussion.’ You know, in Hollywood, what does that mean? That’s like a man saying to you after a date, ‘I’ll call ya.’ There’s been a hue and a cry of late. I was in Europe doing a tour and there was a lot of that too, ‘When are we going to see Janeway live-action?’ There seems to be something interesting going on. You know, I didn’t think I would, because I’m a certain age now. Just as I was a certain age then, right? But I’m very strong and still full of life and I adore this character. So why on earth wouldn’t I bring her back?

I said this to Kurtzman. The writing is going to have to be absolutely exquisite and as tight—I mean so tight. I want that language to just burst! And I want the story to be so tenuous and taut. I said, ‘No languishing.’ I don’t want peaks and valleys. I want a Janeway that everybody can say, ‘That’s what she’s become. I’m with her! This is great!’ Right? And I think some sort of extraordinary adventure. Even greater than Voyager. Even greater than the Delta Quadrant.


Tremors

Kevin Bacon stated he “would still love to do” a new Tremors TV series during a recent interview with Esquire.

We were around the 25-year anniversary. I went to Blumhouse, and they were totally into the idea. Universal didn’t want to remake it as a feature and also maybe because it didn’t work as a feature the first time. So we put it aside. Then they came back to me and said, ‘What would you think about doing it as a series?’ The series was shopped around, eventually landed at SyFy, and then died before making it to air. I would still love to do it, believe me. Maybe it needs to be the 30th anniversary or the 35th. We’ll keep going.

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...

Image: Universal Pictures Just in time for Halloween and for the release of Blumhouse and Universal Pictures’ Five Nights at Freddy ’s fans can visit a pop-up location of the fictional franchise from the game and film. 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.

Check out the video captured by deadboifilms on TikTok below at the location on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood (near the Chateau Marmont Hotel).
