[Trailer] Paul W.S. Anderson’s “Origin” Blends a ‘Blade Runner’ Future With an ‘Event Horizon’ Nightmare
Event Horizon director Paul W.S. Anderson heads back into the darkest depths of space for the upcoming YouTube Original series “Origin,” teased out of Comic Con with a first look trailer this week. Tom Felton and Natalia Tena star in the series, and from what we understand, Anderson himself directed the first two of the series’ 10 episodes.
“[Origin is] the first time I’ve been in deep space since I did Event Horizon, and I never really wanted to go out into deep space again because I was really happy with that movie. Then I read Mika Watkins’s script and she inspired me to go back into space,” Anderson noted at SDCC.
In the series…
“We meet a group of troubled passengers as they wake up on a damaged spaceship abandoned in deep space. Each having left behind a dark past in search of a fresh start on a newly colonized planet, they’re desperate to survive at all costs. But as their terrifying situation spirals into paranoia, they come to realize that the greatest threat to their dream of starting over – and indeed their lives – might actually be within their midst…”
“Origin,” created by Mika Watkins, will arrive on YouTube this coming Fall.
For the first time ever, a real dog is playing Scooby-Doo in the upcoming Netflix series “Scooby-Doo: Origins,” and the streamer has revealed a first look at the dog this week.
Meet the real-life Scooby-Doo below!
Maxwell Jenkins (“Lost in Space”) will play Fred, Tanner Hagen (“The Pitt”) will play Shaggy, and Abby Ryder Fortson (Ant-Man) will play Velma, joining Mckenna Grace (Scream 7) as Daphne in the upcoming live action prequel series, “Scooby-Doo: Origins.”
The new series is “a modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder.
“Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.”
Josh Appelbaum (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) and Scott Rosenberg (Venom, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) are showrunners and writers.
Toby Haynes (“Andor,” “Black Mirror”) will direct the first of eight episodes, in addition to serving as an executive producer. Greg Berlanti (“Riverdale,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) will executive produce the upcoming Netflix series with Sarah Schechter and Leigh London Redman via Berlanti Productions and its overall deal with Warner Bros. Television.
