Aussie ‘Primal’ Acquired by IFC
Vic Bateman’s AV Pictures has got off to a roaring start to the market closing deals on Josh Reed’s Aussie horror picture Primal with IFC Films for the US and Anolis for Germany. The film, screening in the market, is billed as “a frenzied, visceral nightmare in the vein of Cabin Fever”. It is about a group of friends who join anthropology student, Dace, on a journey to study a remote, ancient rock painting. Their excitement vanishes when one of the team becomes delirious after skinny-dipping in the waterhole. Feverish, bleeding and confused, she physically and mentally regresses to a vicious primal state. The cast is led by Krew Boylan and Zoe Tuckwell-Smith.

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
