Loosely inspired by Chris Jones’ Esquire article of the same name, Away is an epic love story and a thrilling tale of survival set against humanity’s greatest endeavor – the first human mission to Mars. Emma Green is an American astronaut who must leave her husband and teenage daughter behind in order to command an international space crew embarking upon a treacherous, year-long mission. Away is a series about hope, humanity and how ultimately, we need one another if we are to achieve impossible things.

As part of his multi-year deal with Netflix, Reeves had successfully won the bidding war for the story last year against major studios such as Warner Bros, Universal and Apple. The series is created by Andrew Hinderaker (Penny Dreadful) and is set to write Away’s first episode. The Path’s Jessica Goldberg will be the series’ showrunner and writer. She will executive produced together with Ed Zwick (Nashville), who will direct the first episode.

Bill Skarsgard reveals some of Pennywise the Dancing Clown’s feelings in the upcoming IT: Chapter 2.

The latest episode of What We Do in the Shadows featured a ton of guest pop culture vampires, including Blade.

This week we got a more extensive trailer for the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home movie, and now that Avengers: Endgame is out of the way, fans are focusing on this next Marvel film and speculating all we can to see what will come of it. The newest character in this Spider-Man universe is Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. Fans of the comics know Mysterio as a villain from the world of Spider-Man, but the trailers for the movie are making him appear to be a good guy who needs the help of our own Peter Parker. Fans are being cautiously optimistic.

For now we get to at least get some info on the character’s costume and development through the eyes of the director, Jon Watts. Comicbook.com was able to visit the set of the upcoming film and speak to Watts a bit about the influences he had while developing the character Mysterio and how he went about designing his costume. Here’s what he had to say:

“We tried a couple different things, but the second you take the fishbowl away, it’s not Mysterio. That just sort of became one of the key visual concepts that makes him Mysterio. But in terms of how to actually execute that in a way that still looks cool, that took that some [research and development].”

And when asked about making the character more heroic than villainous, Watts said:

“Mysterio enters the comic as a hero. So, I always took it right back to the source material and what made that character exciting initially.”

It will be interesting to see if they keep moving Mysterio in this direction or if he eventually ends up becoming the villain. It will be fun to find out. How would you like them to proceed with the character? Find out what happens on July 2, when Spider-Man: Far From Home swings into a theater near you.

Chucky says goodnight to Andy in new Child’s Play motion poster

MGM has released a new motion poster for their upcoming horror reboot Child’s Play, offering a preview of Mark Hamill‘s evil Chucky laugh. Check out the full poster below!

RELATED: New Child’s Play Trailer: Let Me Tell You About My Best Friend

Aubrey Plaza (Ingrid Goes West) and Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta) are headlining the new Child’s Play, under the helm of filmmaker Lars Klevberg (Polaroid). Tyler Burton Smith wrote the screenplay based on the 1988 film. In the reboot, Plaza stars as a mother who gives her son Andy, portrayed by Gabriel Bateman (Lights Out), a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of its more sinister nature. The new version of the killer doll won’t be a doll possessed by a serial killer but will be a defective Buddy doll whose programming code was hacked so that he has no limitations to learning and also violence.

Additional cast includes Beatrice Kitsos (The Exorcist) and Ty Consiglio (Wonder) who will be playing the roles of Falyn and Pugg respectively, two friends of Andy Barclay in the new film which is currently shooting in Vancouver. Carlease Burke (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) will also star in the film. Mark Hamill (Star Wars) will take over from Brad Dourif (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) as the voice of Chucky.

This will be a complete diversion from the original Child’s Play movie series created by Don Mancini, which featured Brad Dourif playing a serial killer who used voodoo to place his spirit in a ‘Good Guy Doll,’ which would become the Chucky we all know and love. Though Mancini and producer David Kirschner are currently working on making more Child’s Play movies, as well as a TV series, with Dourif still voicing Chucky, this new take on Child’s Play by Orion will essentially be a competing property, and Mancini and company will not be involved at all.

Child’s Play will toddle into theaters on June 21.
