‘Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole’ Production Delayed For Script Updates

Published

Oswald Down the Rabbit Hole

After getting announced last year, production on public domain horror movie Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole has been delayed indefinitely.

Writer-Director Lilton Stewart III is using the delay to focus on tightening the script with script rewrites to enhance the horror-adventure film. Stewart is committed to delivering a more polished and satisfying story.

“I recently got inspired by an idea that will definitely make the story tighter and flesh out some of the unanswered questions I was leaving for the sequel,” says Stewart. “Audiences will still have questions leading into the next chapter of the story, but will feel more satisfied at the conclusion of the first film.”

Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole is “depicting a sinister take on an iconic cartoon classic that encompasses the pure horror genre.” That cartoon classic is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a Walt Disney character first introduced in 1927 that was eventually replaced by Mickey Mouse.

The film follows the main character, Art, and friends embarking on what starts as an innocent journey to track down his family lineage, quickly turns into a bloodcurdling nightmare when they find his Great-Grandpa Oswald’s abandoned home. The group is transported to a place lost in time, shrouded by dark Hollywood devilry. When Art’s Great-Grandpa’s come-to-life cartoon Rabbit, a dark entity, decides their lives belong to it, the group is petrified. Art and his friends must work together to escape the haunting prison by the skin of their teeth, before the Rabbit gets to them first.

The delay news won’t affect casting, with additional talent expected to be announced in the coming months.

The film stars Topher Hall, Yasha Rayzberg, Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters), and Nora Freetly, with production led by Lucinda Bruce and Lilton Stewart III.

It’s Official: Ryan Gosling Playing ‘Ghost Rider’ in MCU Movie Being Directed by Shawn Levy

Published

on

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.

Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!

Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.

Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”

Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.

Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.

That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
