Netflix’s Marianne trailer finds a novelist battling her own creation

Netflix has just released the first trailer for Marianne, a new French-language series that looks outright terrifying. You can check out the trailer in the player below!

When a novelist realizes her terrifying stories are coming true, she returns to her hometown to face the demons from her past that inspire her writing. To make matters worse, the demon appears to take the form of an elderly woman, a quintessential staple of horror films, from The Shining all the way to that trailer for IT Chapter Two.

The series was created by Samuel Bodin and stars Victoire Du Bois, Lucie Boujenah and Tiphaine Daviot.

In addition, they’ve released scores of new content to appeal to global audiences, including the German-language sci-fi/horror series Dark.

Marianne will be ready to terrify audiences the world over when the first season kicks off September 13 only on Netflix.

While we know that the fans of the MCU are disappointed in the departure of Spider-Man after Marvel and Sony were unable to reach an agreement on terms, we now have reactions from some of the co-stars, who are also upset, of course. While Kevin Feige was recently quoted saying, “It was never meant to last forever,” it just still seems like bad timing. Tom Holland is still set to make two more films.

The next movies will, I’m assuming, have an elephant in the room feeling, as they won’t be able to reference Peter Parker’s past, or the people who have been important to him up to now. It will be a narrower world. I think they should have waited until Holland had outgrown the part, and parted ways then. But that’s just my opinion.

Check out the reactions from some of our favorite MCU actors about the loss of their friend from the franchise (Via Variety):

Elizabeth Olsen (Avengers: Endgame, WandaVision) said, “That’s so sad. It really is sad. Tom Holland is the greatest Spider-Man to me. He actually has that youthful energy and the ability, physically and emotionally, and he’s just been incredible. And it’s been really lucky that we’ve been able to work with him, and I think it’s a big loss, and it’s really too bad.”

Olsen’s WandaVision co-star Paul Bettany then, clearly disappointed, added, “Yeah, I can’t talk about that.”

Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan reacted with a bittersweet humor, saying, “We will always have little Tom right here, right here. Love you little Tom.” Stan added, singing, “Tom, you are always on my mind. You are always on my mind.”

The Grandmaster himself, Jeff Goldblum responded by saying he was left speechless by the news, and said he was “crestfallen.”

Jon Favreau, who played a role in each of the Spider-Man movies as Happy Hogan, was asked about the impact, as his character will no longer be included in the Sony-owned universe. He said that Happy and Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) were “quite a couple,” then went on to add, “As an actor, I had so much fun working with Marisa and Tom Holland, and as a fan, and as an actor, and as somebody that’s been part of the Marvel story for so long… we’ve all read rumors, we’ve all read press releases. You never know what’s gonna happen, and I’m holding out hope and being optimistic that this isn’t the final chapter of that story between those characters, because I would love to see them continue to share the screen together. I don’t mean just Happy and Aunt May, I mean Tom Holland, and the characters, Spidey and the other heroes in the MCU.”

I have hope as well that the studios will come back together and give the fans what they want. It’s what I want, anyway. What about you?

Teen drama Pretty Little Liars getting Asian remake set in Bali

Pretty Little Liars is getting another life as an international remake. The teen drama will be the basis for a Bali-set Asian remake after Warner Bros. struck a deal with the digital streaming service Viu.

According to Deadline, the remake will follow the footsteps of the original, centering on a group of four estranged undergrads whose little clique had fallen apart when their former leader went missing. After rejoining, the girls then begin receiving messages from a mysterious figure known as ‘A,’ who threatens to expose their darkest secrets.

The remake will be localized in Bahasa and filmed in Bali as part of the Indonesian and Malaysian adaptation. Set in the fictional town of Amerta, the series will be directed by The Night Bus filmmaker Emil Heradi. Anya Geraldine stars as Hanna, Eyka Farhana as Ema, Valerie Thomas as Sabrina, Shindy Huang as Aria, and Yuki Kato as Alissa.

The series was produced by Alloy Entertainment, Gaslight Productions and Russian Hill Productions in association with Warner Horizon Television, and was executive produced by I.

Boogie: Chef Eddie Huang to write and direct coming-of-age drama

Celebrity chef Eddie Huang is stepping out of the kitchen and onto the film set with his coming-of-age drama Boogie.

Huang not only wrote the script for the film, but he will also make his debut as a director for the Focus Features production. The story follows a young Chinese-American basketball player in New York City who has to balance his parents’ expectations against his own goals of becoming an NBA star.

“A lot of my work to date has been about the ‘Asian-American Experience’ presented like a triumphal arch because that’s how I’ve felt since the Dipset Anthem dropped,” said Huang in a statement. “Planet Asia needed me to stand out here with my two arms up, but I’m in my Purple Phase now. Boogie is the reflection of my ancestor’s spirit and values as I’ve always felt them navigating me through this American life.”

So far, Taylor Takahashi has been cast in the lead role, with Pamelyn Chee (2025) and Jorge Lendeborg Jr. (Love, Simon) co-starring.

This isn’t the first time the chef has flirted with showbusiness. Huang’s memoir Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir was turned into a popular TV series for ABC, and he more recently created and starred in Viceland’s Huang’s World.

Peter Fonda’s Most Memorable Movie Quotes

Comingsoon.net is taking a look at some of the most memorable lines ever spoken by an actor who changed the game. Check out the picks in the gallery below!

Along with Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern, Peter Fonda co-wrote Easy Rider, a film that will forever be the catapult that helped spring cinema into the counter-culture genre. Last week, Peter Fonda passed away leaving behind a prolific career in film—spanning approximately 116 credited roles. From starring roles to cameo roles in films like Wild Hogs, Ghost Rider, and shows like Californication Fonda has been everywhere. Over the course of his filmography, many lines were spoken in a way that only Peter Fonda could deliver.

A good line can encapsulate a good character and in turn a good film. Early on in his career, Fonda’s indie characters seemed to reflex his sense of rebellion and freedom; his roles revolved around the outcasts, the cast aside, the forgotten. Being the youngest Fonda, in a family of renowned filmmakers, Peter had a lot to live up to. Did he care? Probably not. Knowing who you are means diluting any sort of concern for the opinion of others. This is probably why, straight out the gate, he led the counterculture of the 60s that revolutionized Hollywood. Here’s a look back at some memorable quotes and exchanges delivered by some of his most memorable characters.

Venom 2 Cinematographer Confirms Woody Harrelson’s Return in Sequel

Venom 2’s cinematographer Robert Richardson has seemingly confirmed Woody Harrelson’s return in the anticipated sequel — which means we will finally get a live-action Carnage.

Richardson was busy discussing what drew him to the superhero genre in an interview with Collider when he made the unofficial announcement. He was discussing how director Andy Serkis approached him about the film, which he believed presented a lot of interesting possibilities.

“I think it’s unexplored yet, and it’s going to explode, and this film, I think, will help it explode, because you have a remarkable central character with Venom, but now you’ve got Woody Harrelson, who’s going to obviously make his own little entrance here, and we’ll see what else comes in with the Sony Marvel collaboration,” Richardson said before offering praise to Tom Hardy, the film’s star: “I look forward to it. It’s a massive change for me, but I’m excited. I think Hardy is one of our best. He never misses. I so look forward to sitting with him and watching him perform.”

Harrelson appeared as Cletus Kasady during a post-credit scene in the first film. In the comics Kasady eventually becomes Carnage, Venom’s arch-nemesis. This might also provide a good opportunity for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to pair up with Hardy’s Venom in order to take the big red baddie down. It remains to be seen if that will come to pass.

Serkis is known for his amazing motion-capture work in films such as Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Planet of the Apes series, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He has also appeared in Black Panther, King Kong, and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Venom 2 will mark the third feature film Serkis will tackle as director following Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, which released on Netflix last year.

Richardson previously worked with Serkis on his directorial debut Breathe, and is also well-known for his Oscar-winning work on Martin Scorcese’s fantasy adventure Hugo and biopic The Aviator, as well as earning other nominations for Oliver Stone’s Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, winning his first with JFK, and being nominated for Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight.

Venom amassed an enormous $855 million worldwide during its box office run despite negative reviews and a so-so response from fans (form your own opinion by picking the film up here). The first film teased a sequel by introducing Cletus Kasady, aka Carnage, played by Woody Harrelson, during its closing credits.

Venom 2 is currently slated for an October 2, 2020 release date.

Hot Toys had a limited edition Avengers: Endgame Captain America action figure that went up for sale at the D23 Expo this past weekend. I actually stood in line for an hour and a half to try and get one, and by the time I got into the shop that was selling them it was sold out. I was so pissed!

Anyway, the figure will get a further release in additional markets later on. The figure includes two interchangeable lower face parts, multiple interchangeable hands, Mjolnir with removable lightning effects pieces, the Tesseract, Loki’s Scepter, a Shield, a broken Shield, a compass, and a figure stand. The Mjolnir includes light up effects as well.

Check out some details and photos below:

Steve Rogers, a man out of time and out of sync with the country he sworn to defend, finds himself called into action to complete a mission with the universe’s entire existence on the line. As the leader of the Avengers, this Super-Soldier will need to bring together his surviving Avengers companions and the World’s Mightiest Heroes once again to fight the war for lives.

Celebrating the kick off of D23 Expo 2019, Hot Toys is excited to present today the 1/6th scale Captain America collectible figure from Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame for the ultimate fans experience.

Meticulously crafted based on the appearance of Chris Evans as Captain America/Steve Rogers in the film, the movie-accurate figure features a newly painted helmeted head sculpt with two interchangeable lower faces capturing Chris Evan’s facial expressions, a muscular body which naturally portray Captain America’s muscularly toned body, a finely tailored outfit with star emblem on the chest, Cap’s star-spangled shield, a broken shield with pieces of remains to recreate the epic face off, a LED light-up Mjolnir, a highly-detailed compass, as well as a figure stand with specially designed graphic card.

The Special Edition available in selected markets will include a Loki’s scepter, a Tesseract, and lightning effect accessories as bonus items exclusively for collectors.

Avengers: Endgame 1/6th scale Captain America Collectible Figure (Special Edition) will be firstly available at D23 Expo 2019! This absolutely stunning Captain America collectible figure is a must-have for any Marvel collector to place alongside with your Avengers collection!

Marvel has shared some new poster art for The Falcon and The Winter Solider. The poster was handed out to fans at Disney’s D23 Expo, and it features Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan in their respective roles. As you can see, Bucky is sporting a new haircut.

A lot of fans have been curious to know how things are going to work with The Falcon since Captain America handed off his shield to him. Well, according to Mackie, Sam Wilson is not the new Captain America. He is still Falcon and will alway be Falcon. During an interview with Variety, he was asked if there was going to be a title change of the character and Mackie replied:

“I am The Falcon, I will always be The Falcon. The moniker will stay the same.”

I’m sure Falcon will get a new uniform and will be carrying the shield around with him on his adventures, but everyone is still going to call him Falcon or Sam.

The series will also see the return of Emily VanCamp, who will reprise her role as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sharon Carter, and Daniel Bruhl, who will return as the villain Baron Zemo. As far as the story goes, we don’t have anything concrete, but it was rumored that the crux of the show will revolve around the government not wanting Sam Wilson to be Captain America.
