[News Bites] Billy Burke’s ‘Revolution’ Role Shifted To Lead, Euro ‘Prometheus’ Fan Art & More From ‘Salem’
By clicking the above image you’ll find several fan made posters inspired by Ridley Scott’s forthcoming Prometheus, the Fox-produced prequel to Alien opening in theaters June 8. What makes thse one-sheets special is that the’ve been given the Euro flair and are all pretty astounding. I’d put each and every one of them on my wall…
Deadline reports that Twilight and Drive Angry‘s Billy Burke will play the lead in NBC’s untitled JJ Abrams/Eric Kripke drama pilot “Revolution,” directed by Jon Favreau. “The high-octane action drama follows a group of people struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist.” Burke was originally cast three weeks ago in the supporting role of Bass, a charismatic Marine. Meanwhile, the extensive search for an actor to play the lead, Miles, an amazingly resourceful man with dark and dangerous side, continued even after the pilot went into production last week. Then over the weekend, the producers decided to get Burke to play Miles.
Lastly, if you click over to Rob Zombie’s official website you’ll find a super tiny behind-the-scenes look at Lisa Marie stopping by the costume department to begin her wardrobe fitting for The Lords of Salem, which is currently in the process of additional photography. The story is about a local DJ who mistakenly unleashes a hellish curse on the town. 
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
