TV: “Haunted” Sounds Like Every Other Show On TV But With Ghosts
Honestly, the fact that Haunted is a procedural makes it sound to me like it’s just going to end up being a show like “Bones” or “The Closer” only with ghosts. There’s noting wrong with that, and I’m keeping an eye on it to see if it becomes anything more – but I seriously doubt we’re going to have something here that appeals to genre fans as much as “Supernatural”, “True Blood” or “American Horror Story”. But ya never know!
ABC bought the project from Cory Goodman (who wrote Priest) with National Treasure director Jon Turtletaub attached to direct the pilot. A silver lining? One of the producers is Adam Goldworm, who had a guiding hand in “Masters Of Horror”. Perhaps he can steer the ship in the right direction? TV is more of a writer’s medium than film, so I’d say that Turtletaub’s influence on this project won’t be all that heavy. He might even be out after directing the pilot.
So we’ll see. There’s some potential here. But again, it’s a procedural on a major network.
Per Deadline, “‘Haunted’ is a supernatural character procedural that follows Jessica Garrity, a paranormal investigator who each week helps the living move on from a spirit that can’t let go.”
One of these guys is Jon Turtletaub.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
