Seance On a Wet Afternoon <\/p>\n
Bloody-Disgusting<\/a> reports Rachel Weisz, Matthew Macfadyen, and Joe Alwyn will star in a remake of 1964\u2019s Seance On a Wet Afternoon from Let the Right One In director Tomas Alfredson and writer Jack Thorne. The story follows follows Myra, \u201ca self-proclaimed medium who convinces her husband Billy to kidnap the son of a wealthy family so she can lead the police to the \u2018missing\u2019 child and legitimize her psychic abilities. When Myra\u2019s true intentions come to light, however, Billy realizes her plan threatens to consume them both.\u201d<\/p>\n Tangled <\/p>\n Disney has now officially confirmed that Kathryn Hahn has been cast as Mother Gothel in the live-action Tangled.<\/p>\n You want her to be the bad guy? FINE. Kathryn Hahn is Mother Gothel in Disney’s live-action Tangled. pic.twitter.com\/pi47Kbli64<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Walt Disney Studios (@DisneyStudios) March 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Avengers: Doomsday <\/p>\n During a recent interview with Esquire<\/a>, Lewis Pullman revealed Avengers: Doomsday includes \u201ca lot of really exciting pair-ups\u201d between unexpected characters.<\/p>\n Every character has their moment that builds the dimensions of them. The Russo brothers did that so well. They do not want anyone just sitting in the background. They really took to heart the responsibility of having some of the best actors in the world all together. There\u2019s a lot of really exciting pair-ups that happen. A lot of fans will be really excited. It\u2019s so fun to dream about. What if A and B would work together? Would B and D would work together? You get to see a lot of those fantasies come into fruition.<\/p>\n Street Fighter <\/p>\n Elsewhere, David Dastmalchian discussed the weight of taking over the role of M. Bison from predecessors like the late Ra\u00fal Juli\u00e1 in a new interview with Screen Rant<\/a>.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been doing theater, thankfully, for longer than I ever have been on camera. And so I remember getting to go and step into the shoes of Tom Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie, or an iconic Shakespeare character, or a famous Sam Shepard role. And I remember that terrifying pressure of, like, how many people have seen this already done? What is the idea in their mind for this character? So you have to try and \u2014 we\u2019ll see!<\/p>\n Star Trek <\/p>\n In another recent interview with Screen Rant<\/a>, Robert Picardo stated he\u2019s heard the Star Trek movie franchise will be \u201ctotally reinvented with all new characters\u201d now that there are no longer any current series in development.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve heard that the movie franchise is going to be totally reinvented with all new characters. That\u2019ll be great to see and interesting. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever done that before. You know what I mean? Even when they rebooted the original characters in the movies with Chris Pine a dozen years ago or whatever it was, they were still familiar characters. Now we\u2019re going to see presumably all-new Star Trek characters. That\u2019ll be interesting.<\/p>\n And then for the next show \u2014 I mean, Starfleet Academy is an idea that has been talked about forever, and they just had to figure out how to do it. And the critical response to the show has been amazing, with almost 95% positive reviews. Nowadays, of course, everyone\u2019s a critic. So on social media, there\u2019s a lively discussion about what Star Trek should be.<\/p>\n I see fans who say, \u201cWe own the IP. We own the property because we\u2019ve watched it for so many years.\u201d Which is kind of not really true. The property is kind of owned by the studio, and the studio decides to invest in a particular pitch and a writer. And if you can do better, then I encourage any Star Trek fan that has a vision for Star Trek in the future \u2014 by golly, come to Hollywood, go in and pitch CBS Paramount with your vision for Star Trek, and definitely write a part for me. That\u2019s all. That\u2019s my best advice.<\/p>\n Avatar 4 <\/p>\n James Cameron stated a fourth Avatar movie is still \u201cvery likely\u201d to happen during his recent appearance at the Saturn Awards.<\/p>\n James Cameron has yet to make a decision on whether there will be an Avatar 4, but he says it\u2019s \u201cvery likely.\u201d And he will be taking audience feedback into consideration! #SaturnAwards<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/1MNAF5dNZx<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Screen Rant (@screenrant) March 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Hokum <\/p>\n Bloody-Disgusting<\/a> has a poster for Damian McCarthy\u2019s latest film, Hokum, starring Adam Scott. Expect a trailer sometime later today.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Darkwing Duck <\/p>\n Speaking with Screen Rant<\/a> at the Saturn Awards, Darkwing Duck voice actor Jim Cummings provided an update on Seth Rogen\u2019s planned reboot series.<\/p>\n \u00a0I think it\u2019s long overdue. And we\u2019re all still alive and kicking. I guess Seth Rogen, my old buddy, he\u2019s going to be one of the prime movers, shakers. So stay tuned.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve only recorded basically one offshoot so far. But the thing is, if it\u2019s not broke, you don\u2019t fix it. Gosalyn\u2019s grown up. So that\u2019s interesting. But yeah, you stay tuned.<\/p>\n 3 Body Problem <\/p>\n Filming has wrapped on the second season of Netflix\u2019s 3 Body Problem.<\/p>\n From <\/p>\n Finally, MGM+ has released a new trailer for the fourth season of From premiering April 19.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Want more io9 news?
