Sean Cunningham wants young blood to shape a new Friday the 13th movie. Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed show expands its mysterious cast. Plus, Genndy Tartakovsky talks the future of Primal. To me, my spoilers!
The Batman, Part II
According to Bill Ramsey of Batman On Film (via World of Reel), Viggo Mortensen is the latest actor to be offered the role of Christopher Dent in The Batman, Part II.
A Quiet Place, Part III
Josh Krasinski revealed on Instagram that Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmons, Noah Jupe, and Cillian Murphy will reprise their roles in A Quiet Place, Part III opposite series newcomers Jack O’Connell, Jason Clarke, and Katy O’Brian in undisclosed roles.
Minions & Monsters
Deadline also reports Allison Janney, Christoph Waltz, Jeff Bridges, Jesse Eisenberg, Zoey Deutch, and Trey Parker will lend their voices to Minions & Monsters, the latest film in the Minions/Despicable Me franchise.
Friday the 13th
Speaking with TMZ, Sean Cunningham revealed he’s looking to hire a “young writer” for an “old school” Friday the 13th movie, as the “heart of the series has always been ‘the fear of untimely death’”—which Cunningham states he’s “too old to be worried about that these days.”
The Mummy 4
In a recent interview with Bloody-Disgusting, co-director Tyler Gillet stated he hopes to use as many practical effects in The Mummy 4 as possible.
I think we can fully say that’s the aim. To steer into Raiders [of the Lost Ark] territory. Obviously, there are going to be big grand set pieces that are going to require some of that, but I think our goal is to put ourselves and the crew and the cast in as real a situation as we can.

Primal
In a recent interview with Comic Book, Genndy Tartakovsky confirmed he still intends to continue Primal as an “anthology” now that Spear and Fang have received their “conclusive” ending in the season three finale.
The way we tied it up. It was really nice. It’s a happy ending for once. I think a lot of people, that’s what they were afraid of…not afraid of, but maybe sad with the ending of the second season. Because it’s kind of bittersweet, right? And I like bittersweet endings. I don’t like everything being so perfect. But in this case, the people, hopefully, have a pleasant surprise at the end. At the end of Season 2, I talked about how I want to make Primal an anthology, and so I feel the same way. It is conclusive to me, in the same way that the second season was.
However, Tartakovsky is adamant any future seasons of Primal will not concern the daughter of Spear and Mira.
I definitely am very against making it about the daughter for some reason. I’m from a generation where we had Mad Max, then Road Warrior, and then Thunderdome, all of a sudden, there’s the Lost Kids, and it was just this bad taste of…it lost its edge. As a kid, I remember feeling that, so I think that’s somewhere in my head to not have that feeling. I want Primal to go forever, as long as I’m able to make stuff, I want to keep making different seasons of Primal. And…seeing if there’s an idea that can take over for Spear and Fang that’s just as good, but just slightly different.
