The script for the fifth Indiana Jones movie is complete and while we know Harrison Ford is back and Shia LaBeof isn't, the question remains whether Karen Allen will return.

In a recent interview Allen revealed she was surprised that LaBeof's Mutt won't be returning: "Initially I felt sad because we had a blast working with Shia on Crystal Skull. He had just turned 21, and I adored him. He was just the most lovely, hardworking, emotionally vulnerable person. At the time, we had no idea if there would be another [movie] but there was that beautiful little wink at the end where he starts to take the hat and Indy comes and takes it away from him. Reading that [article] put an end to that as a possibility. I mean, there was no indication as to why that was true - whether he doesn't want to do it or they just made the decision in terms of where they're going with the story, and it's a complete mystery to me as to whether or not Marion is even a part of this next one. But I'm sorry that he won't be a part of it. I guess [Indiana and Marion] sent him off to school after all!"

Indiana Jones 5 will open in cinemas in the summer of 2019.

 

08/09/17 - The latest on Shock Theater series

Producer Greg Nicotero's Shock Theater anthology show for AMC will mix horror and comedy.

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Nicotero said: “I think Shaun of the Dead is probably the closest in tone that I can ever think about for Shock Theatre because it was funny and thrilling, and you love the characters, and it was scary, and had great moments in it, and was all-around completely entertaining. I want the characters to be real and I want them to be funny and I want them to be relatable. And a lot of horror movies, you know, it’s not quite the same emotion than if you start with something where you have characters that have some humour to them because it’s always a great balance between the humour and the horror, and that’s something that we’re looking forward to doing."

04/09/17 - The latest direction IT 2 will take

IT 2 is already being planned and will tell the second half of the book by Stephen King.

Andy Muschiette, who directed the first movie and is onboard to direct the second, has confirmed the sequel will be set in 1989 and will explore the Cosmic Dimension from King's original story.

The main narrative of IT 2 will be set in the present day, and follow the Losers' Club as adults. The Dimension side of the book wasn't tackled in the first movie as the director wanted to make it as grounded in our reality as possible.

"I really wanted to focus on the emotional journey of the group of kids," said Muschiette. "Getting in to that other dimension, the other side, was something that we could introduce in the second part. In the book the perspective of the writing... is always with the Losers, so everything they know about Pennywise is very speculative and shrouded in absurdity, so I wanted to respect that mystery feeling of not knowing what's on the other side."
