Heaven Help Us, the ‘Crossed' Movie Is Really Happening
Chris Sheridan talks Resident Alien's cancellation. Hayden Christensen is still filming the second season of Ahsoka. And could Leatherface survive his own love interest in the next Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Future events such as these will affect you in the future. Morning Spoilers, ho! THR reports Devin Druid and Ash Santos will star in the upcoming film adaptation of Garth Ennis's Crossed as Stan and Cindy, 'the leaders of a group of strangers thrown together as they attempt to escape northward' from the infected. The film's supporting cast includes Ethan Jones Romero as Thomas; Kyla Hee as Kelly; Chido Nwokocha as Kitrick; Spenser Granese as Brett; Bob Morley as Randall; Ana Mulvoy Ten as Sheena; Steven Hack as Geoff; Angie Campbell as Amy; Peter Falls as Joel; and newcomer Lorenzo Ross as Patrick. Additionally, Owen Harn will lead the infected 'Crossed' as the infamous Horsecock, opposite Fedor Steer as Face and Kelvin Adekunle as Stump. According to Fangoria, David Yarovesky (Brightburn) is attached to write and direct He Never Dies, a horror film about an undying man who returns 'bigger,' 'stronger,' and 'less human' each time he's killed, at Gary Dauberman's production company, Coin Operated. Speaking at Neon's The Next Wave of Horror panel at San Diego Comic-Con (via Bloody-Disgusting), Osgood Perkins discussed his take on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise he's 'certainly in the conversation' to direct the next installment of. My producing partners and I, we went down a path with Texas Chainsaw. To be honest with you, I don't know what's happening with it, but we were certainly in the conversation for it. What's lovely about these people who own the rights — it's the original writer [Kim Henkel] — is that they really care about Leatherface. There's a fondness about his character and the idea that he saw bad things when he was younger, and because he is neurodivergent, he had his difficulties processing, and that's when turned him into a quote 'monster.' It goes back to Frankenstein or wherever you want to be with monsters that are usually the misunderstood, sensitive type. I think your idea is beautiful. I don't see any reason why not. The rights holders provided us with a guide book that they had put together. 'These are the things that we think are important, these are the things we'd love to see, these are the things we don't like,' so on and so forth. One of the things was 'Leatherface should never have a love interest.' My partners and I were like, 'Well, now you've said it!' Relatedly, AvPGalaxy has a new poster for Predator: Badlands from San Diego Comic Con this past weekend. Cineverse has also released a teaser for its new, unrated remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night starring Rohan Campbell as Billy. A missing woman mysteriously reappears, claiming she's being hunted by a 'dark force that twists fear into reality' in the trailer for We're Not Safe Here, coming to VOD this August 22. According to an update from Spacecon San Antonio's Facebook page (via Screen Rant), Hayden Christensen is unable to make the event this year as the actor is 'still filming the next season of Ahsoka.' Speaking with Screen Rant, Resident Alien showrunner Chris Sheridan admitted he 'sort of saw' the series' cancellation 'coming a long time ago' and made sure season four would 'finish telling the story.' It wasn't brand new news for us. We sort of saw it coming a long time ago. I mean, a year ago, when we started the season, I was pretty sure that this is how it would go down. So, in trying to figure out what we were doing creatively for season four, I made a decision, back then, to finish telling the story. I didn't want to end up in a situation where we had cliffhangers and it was left untold and then we got canceled after that. So, we sort of took it upon ourselves to end it our own way. Finally, Apple TV+ has released a teaser for Pluribus, a mysterious new sci-fi series from Vince Gilligan starring Rhea Seehorn, Carlos Manuel Vesga, Karolina Wydra, Miriam Shor, and Samba Schutte.

I'm confident that Stranger Things 5 will be the Netflix show's best season
Stranger Things season 5 is shaping up to be one of the biggest television events of the century. After the evil Vecna opened a giant portal to the Upside Down in Hawkins, the show will present the final chapter of the heroes' years-long war with him and his legion of monsters. As one of the most acclaimed TV shows of all time, Stranger Things has set some high bars for itself, particularly with its first and fourth seasons on Netflix. The show will have to live up to a lot of lofty expectations to provide a satisfying final season for audiences. However, Stranger Things has already shown it has the key ingredients to make season 5 the best chapter in the show's history. Will will play a central role in the season's story Since the show's inception, Will Byers has been one of the most important characters in Stranger Things. Though he was absent for most of season 1, his kidnapping by the Demogorgon was the catalyst for the events of the entire series. While Will had a greater presence in subsequent seasons, his role in the story gradually diminished over time. In season 4, Will's character largely took a back seat while he and his friends focused on rescuing Eleven. Recommended Videos This should all change with season 5 now that Will and his family are back in Hawkins, which has been infiltrated by the Upside Down. Stranger Things should thus give a greater spotlight on Will and how he has been affected by Vecna's reign of terror, with the season 5 trailer teasing more of young Will's fight for survival during his time in the Upside Down. Since Will and Vecna continue to share a psychic link, the former may be a crucial part of the villain's plan in season 5. However, this bond may also help Will and his allies destroy Vecna once and for all, bringing the series full circle. Stranger Things 5 should also continue Will's arc of opening up to his loved ones about his sexuality. The show has been giving subtle hints to audiences that Will has been hiding his true self from everyone throughout its four seasons. After all the trauma and hardships Will has endured in the show, season 5 should finally give his character the closure he deserves and hopefully have him find the love he's been longing for in the series. The story will focus on the characters in Hawkins In season 4, the characters split up and embarked on missions in different corners of the globe. While some of the kids and adults stayed in Hawkins, other characters traveled across America or even into Russia. This massive, epic scope made for a distinctive story, but most of the cast were unable to showcase their compelling dynamics for much of the season. At the same time, the series just began to descend; the townspeople descended into panic as Vecna's actions killed more and more people. Stranger Things 5 will depict the main cast back together again since their return to Hawkins in season 4, allowing them to continue their lovable on-screen relationships in their hometown. From Hopper and Joyce embracing their romantic feelings to Nancy and Jonathan reuniting, the heroes of Hawkins may finally have the happy ending audiences have waited years to see once they defeat Vecna. With more monsters sprouting up, the series may also have the heroes finally opening up to their peers and loved ones about the cosmic terrors they have battled for so long in secret. This seems like it will be the case for Mike and Nancy, as the trailer implies that Vecna and his monsters will target the rest of their family. The truth about the Upside Down will be revealed Even after all these years, the Upside Down remains the biggest mystery in Stranger Things. The fourth season revealed that this strange, alternate dimension wasn't always a dark reflection of Hawkins. It also showed audiences that this world has somehow been frozen in time since Eleven opened the gate to it when the series began. Stranger Things 5 has plenty of mysteries to unravel to satisfy audiences who have stuck with the show for so long. As the heroes continue to explore the Upside Down to prevent it from consuming Hawkins, it's likely that the show will explain more of this world's history and origins. It may even elaborate more on the complex history Vecna has with the dreaded Mind Flayer, with one or both of them unleashing more hidden horrors from their dark dimension. Season 5 will feature the final battle against Vecna The entire series has been building up to the heroes' climactic battle with Vecna. Season 4 finally brought this psychic villain out of the shadows, revealing how he pulled the strings from the Upside Down and caused suffering for so many characters. Now that Vecna has created a giant gate in Hawkins, he seems ready to unleash an army of monsters on the town in an epic battle for the fate of humanity. The Stranger Things season 5 trailer has already shown Vecna appearing in Hawkins and hunting the heroes with his Demogorgons. With the U.S. military now stationed in the town, trying to stop the Upside Down's spread, audiences can expect to see a massive, bloody, and spectacular showdown straight out of The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. Overall, fans of Stranger Things have a lot to look forward to watching in the show's fifth and final season. The main characters will reunite in Hawkins to protect everyone in one last stand against Vecna and the Upside Down. Stranger Things should pay off all its build-up to present an epic, emotional, and mind-blowing conclusion to the series. Stranger Things 5 will premiere on Netflix on November 26, 2025.

Destiny 2: The Edge Of Fate's Portal Cannot Sustain The Game
Destiny 2 Logging in to Destiny 2 during its second week, players were greeted We are now in an era, for the first time in years, where there is not a week-to-week story unfolding in Destiny. In the Edge of Fate, you beat the campaign, and that's it. Instead, you're herded into the main new draw of the entire game, The Portal. The Portal is a series of four 'Ops' sets of missions, Solo, Fireteam, Pinnacle and Crucible. Each have their own dedicated weapons and armor to farm, both now using the new 'tier' system of the game, common Tier 1 drops and exceedingly rare Tier 5 drops at the highest difficulty levels of the game. It's only been two weeks, but it's clear this is not going to be enough to sustain the game in a meaningful capacity, and it would be shocking if the game's active players did not start dropping left and right as they hit some sort of wall in the activity. Some may last longer than others, and some changes will no doubt be made to fix extremely obvious issues with the system. But The Portal is not going away this is 'the thing' that's meant to keep players engaged now. The launch of this Portal in The Edge of Fate is bizarre. There are zero new activities in any of the Ops lists. I'm not going to classify through a string of enemies in a Patrol zone 'new' for Solo Ops. Fireteam Ops is years-old strikes and forgotten seasonal activities. Pinnacle is only old exotic quests right now, though supposedly chunks of dungeons will be added later. Destiny 2 FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder The way to 'mix this up' to some extent is the new modifier system with different challenges and boons you can pick to earn better rewards. But it's mainly split into lower levels trying to get an A rank, which usually just means locking your loadout and putting on an enemy challenge or two, or higher levels, where you have to slap every negative modifier in the game on in order to get the best loot. And not even the best look. At the high end, something like a 5% drop at any Tier 5, much less a specific weapon or armor piece with perks or distribution you may want. Lower levels are blindingly easy. I'm not sure what's going on there, but some of these difficulties have bosses that cannot possibly have more health than a miniboss, at max. But at higher levels, getting more powerful actually hurts you, given that you will keep being forced into higher deltas. +30, +40, +50, nothing you do can change that unless you scale things back for inescapably less loot. The split is that lower tier players are going to climb high enough where this just gets exhausting, and leave. Higher tier players, all but a few crazies, are going to burn out with this insane difficulty that is often not necessarily difficulty, but endless sponges and the simple inability to ever feel truly strong. There are some pretty obvious Portal fixes that should be implemented ASAP: Destiny 2 Being vastly under-generous with loot and overly focused on 'challenge' with stupidly punishing tuning is a recipe to turn off players. All of this seems to be in place to extend the grind as long as possible, but what it's going to do is cause a lot of rage or exhaustion quits. I'm already seeing it happen. The entire concept of the Portal, replaying very old content, also is just not appealing at baseline for most players, and those that do say they like it, I will be curious if even they'll still be around a couple weeks from now. This is just not going to be able to carry Destiny 2 for six month gaps between major expansions without severe population crashes. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
