Hey Bitch! Aaron Paul Might Be in ‘The Dark Tower’!

Published

on

I should probably mention that the headline is a reference to Aaron Paul’s character Jesse Pinkman from the TV show “Breaking Bad”, just so I don’t offend anyone who hasn’t seen it. I love you guys and would never hurt you! Promise!

ANYWAYS! The rumor mill is swirling that Paul has been cast in The Dark Tower, the film adaptation of Stephen King’s sprawling horror/fantasy epic. However, while everyone seems to be convinced that Paul will be playing Eddie Dean, the star himself isn’t so certain.

Paul tweeted earlier tonight the following message:

Dear @StephenKing,
How goes it my friend? So, about these Dark Tower rumors. What are your thoughts? Could you put in a good word for me?
Ap

So while people are scrambling to see if this is or is not happening, the star himself has made it rather clear that he knows nothing about it but that he’d absolutely love for it to happen!

Paul blew me away with his performance in “Breaking Bad”, so seeing him in any role is totally fine by me. What about you all? You into this casting idea or is there someone you think is more fitting of the role?

NEON’s Horror Movie ‘Cuckoo’ Gets New Poster, New Release Date

Published

Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer - Cuckoo release date

Up next from writer/director Tilman Singer (Luz) is NEON’s strange horror movie Cuckoo, starring Hunter Schafer (“Euphoria”). NEON unveiled a new poster for the upcoming horror movie today, along with a new Cuckoo release date.

Look for Cuckoo to now arrive in theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.

Check out the new poster below, and expect the trailer for Cuckoo next week.

In Cuckoo: “Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family. Arriving at their future residence, they are greeted by Mr. König, her father’s boss, who takes an inexplicable interest in Gretchen’s mute half-sister Alma. Something doesn’t seem right in this tranquil vacation paradise. Gretchen is plagued by strange noises and bloody visions until she discovers a shocking secret that also concerns her own family.”

Dan Stevens (The Guest), Jessica Henwick (Underwater), Marton Csókás (Freelance), Greta Fernández (Santo) and Jan Bluthardt (Luz) also star in Cuckoo.

I wrote in my review out of SXSW, “There’s inventive worldbuilding on display that sets this high-concept horror movie apart and a few intense horror cat-and-mouse scenes that deliver palpable tension. But Singer approaches it with a playful sense of humor that only further nudges Cuckoo into the realm of weird cinema. It’s so refreshingly unconventional and unpredictable in every way, right down to its raucous, entertainingly silly finale, that it’s hard to care about all of the plot that gets discarded along the way.”

NEON is having a busy year in horror. The Sydney Sweeney-starring Immaculate is in theaters now with the Nicolas Cage-starring Longlegs set to arrive in July.

Tom Quinn, Jeff Deutchman, Emily Thomas and Ryan Friscia executive produced Cuckoo for Neon, with producers including Markus Halberschmidt, Josh Rosenbaum, Maria Tsigka, and Ken Kao, Thor Bradwell and Ben Rimmer. Shot on 35mm in Germany, the upcoming film is a cooperation between Germany’s Fiction Park and the United States’ Waypoint Entertainment.
