Matthew Modine Joins Winona Ryder in “Stranger Things”
Netflix’s new 8-episode supernatural drama “Stranger Things” has just landed Full Metal Jacket star Matthew Modine, according to The Wrap. Modine joins Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice, Heathers) and David Harbour in the series, which is about, “…a mystery surrounding a boy who vanishes and the ever-expanding government conspiracy that unravels in its wake.” Ryder is the boy’s mother while Harbour is the chief of police, who takes on the responsibility of investigating the disappearance.
The site reports that Modine has been cast as “Dr. Martin Brenner”, “a brilliant, enigmatic scientist who may or may not be connected to the boy’s mysterious disappearance.”
“Wayward Pines” writers the Duffer Brothers (Matt and Ross) will be writing and directing all eight episodes, according to THR with “Last Resort” creator Karl Gajdusek acting as showrunner.
I’m curious how they’re going to turn a government conspiracy show into something supernatural. Then again, that’s kinda what “The X-Files” did and “Twin Peaks” had that to some small degree, so this could be very, very interesting!
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
