“Penny Dreadful” Officially Cancelled After 3rd Season Finale
If you watched the third season finale for Showtime’s “Penny Dreadful“, you’ll probably have noticed that it ended with the words “The End”. Alas, that wasn’t hyperbole and fans will need to accept that those words are the last we’ll see of Josh Hartnett, Eva Green, and Timothy Dalton as Ethan Chandler, Vanessa Ives, and Sir Malcolm Murray, respectively.
Creator John Logan has made it clear to Deadline, “I can absolutely confirm it is really over, the end — that’s all she wrote.” He continues, describing the show as a poem, saying some are only meant to be, “…haikus and some are meant to be sonnets and some are meant to be enormous epics, and this was always meant to be a sonnet. It was something of grace and beauty. I think we’ve been able to achieve that in a really masterful way with the artists that I work with, everyone’s work. I think this is the right ending so for me to revisit that world again would seem inorganic, I think.”
When asked if the show might ever return, Showtime president David Nevins stated, “I’m always happy to speculate, there is no this is done. …I feel like it is a rich world that I think will live on for a very long time. …Who knows?”
Premiering in April of 2014, the show was positively received and built a strong fan base. It earned several nominations and won multiple awards over its three seasons, including Best Television Series, Best Original Music, Best TV Actress, and more.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
