Robert Rodriguez and Michelle Rodriguez Reteam for VR Series “The Limit”
Michelle Rodriguez as a genetically-enhanced badass. Take my money.
THR reports today that Robert Rodriguez has wrapped production on “The Limit,“ a live-action, virtual reality series that he wrote, produced and directed. The first-person action series will star Michelle Rodriguez as genetically enhanced weapon of mass destruction, on a mission to destroy the covert agency that created her.
STX Entertainment’s VR division, STXsurreal, is planning on releasing “The Limit” through their Surreal VR app in mid-2018.
STXsurreal’s co-president calls the series “a blockbuster, lean-back cinematic experience that audiences can’t find anywhere else in the VR marketplace right now.”
Racer Max co-wrote the short-form series.

Thandiwe Newton Joins the Cast of “Wednesday” Season 2
Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.
Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.
We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.
“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
