Darkman

In conversation with The Wrap, Sam Raimi confirmed Universal is discussing a “legacy sequel” to 1990’s Darkman.

Yes. Universal is talking about a Darkman sequel. There’s a producer attached. I haven’t heard the story yet or gone into it, I’ve been so busy with this movie. But I think it’s cool.

However, Raimi is skeptical Liam Neeson will reprise his role as Dr. Peyton Westlake.

I don’t know if he’d do it. But he’d be incredible.


The Executioner

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. has acquired the rights to The Executioner, a project from The Eternals’ screenwriters Kaz and Ryan Firpo described as “a fun action murder mystery in the spirit of Knives Out meets The Lord of the Rings.” Jason Momoa is attached to star. [Deadline]


Sting

WETA Workshop and Richard Taylor are attached to create the physical puppet effects for Sting, a horror movie about an alien spider from director Kiah Roache-Turner. According to a lengthy synopsis from Bloody-Disgusting, the story begins “one cold, stormy night in New York City,” as “a mysterious object falls from the sky and smashes through the window of a rundown apartment building. It is an egg, and from this egg emerges a strange little spider. The creature is discovered by Charlotte, a rebellious 12-year-old girl obsessed with comic books. Despite her stepfather Ethan’s best efforts to connect with her through their comic book co-creation Fang Girl, Charlotte feels isolated. Her mother and Ethan are distracted by their new baby and are struggling to cope, leaving Charlotte to bond with the spider. Keeping it as a secret pet, she names it Sting. As Charlotte’s fascination with Sting increases, so does its size. Growing at a monstrous rate, Sting’s appetite for blood becomes insatiable. Neighbors’ pets start to go missing, and then the neighbors themselves. Soon Charlotte’s family and the eccentric characters of the building realize that they are all trapped, hunted by a ravenous supersized arachnid with a taste for human flesh… and Charlotte is the only one who knows how to stop it.”
