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.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
