Finn Wolfhard Teases the ’90s Setting of ‘The Turning’ and the Practical Effects of ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’
Finn Wolfhard is set to have a pretty big year here in 2020, kicking off this weekend with Floria Sigismondi’s The Turning, an adaptation of The Turn of the Screw. And then later in the year, of course, Wolfhard stars in Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, a decades-later sequel to the original classic that appears to center on the late Egon Spengler’s family.
Wolfhard talked about those two projects and more in a new chat with Kevin Smith on Smith’s SModcast, revealing one interesting little tidbit about The Turning, for starters.
You wouldn’t know it by watching the trailer but The Turning isn’t actually set in the present day. Nor is it the kind of period piece that’s set in the distant past.
Wolfhard explained to Smith, “It’s set in the 90s. Well, they don’t ever say that it’s the 90s. It has a great soundtrack. They have some great 90s music in there.”
Amblin’s Steven Spielberg-produced The Turning, which also stars Mackenzie Davis and Brooklynn Prince, will be released in theaters on January 24, 2020.
As for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, it’s headed our way on July 10, 2020, and Wolfhard explained to Smith that the trailer barely even scratches the surface of what we’re in store for.
“You have not seen the big stuff yet,” Wolfhard explained, referring to the first trailer as being “very surface level.” He also teased Reitman’s practical-heavy approach.
“There’s a lot of practical effects,” Wolfhard raved about Afterlife. “And a lot of the effects that you think would be CGI are not, which I was so happy to be part of.”
The original cast will return in this summer’s brand new movie.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
