EVIL DEAD BURN Cast Comes Together with Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, and Tandi Wright — GeekTyrant
The cast of Evil Dead Burn is coming together, and it's already looking promising. According to Deadline, Hunter Doohan, best known for playing Tyler in Netflix's Wednesday , has signed on to star.
He's joined by Luciane Buchanan ( The Night Agent ) and Tandi Wright ( Pearl ), with all three actors set to bring some fresh blood to the Sam Raimi-produced horror project.
They'll join previously announced cast member Souheila Yacoub in the film, which is being directed by Infested filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček. He co-wrote the script with Florent Bernard, continuing the collaborative horror streak they started with their 2023 creature feature.
We don't know anything about the story, but Vaniček previously said:
'I told the studio that I wanted to make a nasty film, a film that hurts, from which you come away tested. I'm going to put all the horror I have inside, it will be cathartic, and if I haven't ruined my career and I can continue to make films behind it, I will move on to something other than horror!'
He is looking to create a film that hits with force and sticks with audiences. He added:
'I want people to feel physically drained when they leave the theater, like they've been through an emotional and intense journey. The ambition remains the same as with Infested: to create a visceral, sensory experience that punches the audience in the gut.'
As a fan, that's exactly what I want to hear when it comes to the bone-snapping, soul-swallowing, blood-drenched legacy.
Evil Dead Burn will follow the success of Evil Dead Rise , directed by Lee Cronin, which revived the series in 2023 with a grittier, blood-soaked twist. And with another untitled Evil Dead film also on the way from Francis Galluppi, so the Deadites aren't done with us yet!
Since Sam Raimi first unleashed the Necronomicon in 1981, The Evil Dead has evolved from a scrappy cabin-in-the-woods shocker into a multi-generational horror juggernaut. With this new lineup and a director hungry to leave a mark (or maybe a scar), Evil Dead Burn is probably going to be a crazy-ass horror movie.

Rihanna's adorable family premiere: Rza and Riot steal hearts on Smurfs red carpet
Rihanna had two special little guests at the premiere of her latest movie. The 37-year-old's sons, Rza (2) and Riot (23 months), made their red carpet debut at Sunday's Smurfs Los Angeles premiere at the Paramount Theatre. Rihanna, who is expecting her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky, wore a satin chocolate brown ball gown paired with a leather jacket designed by Anthony Vaccarello from Saint Laurent's spring/summer 2025 collection. The boys were dressed in formal wear, with Riot sporting a look from Jonathan Anderson's debut collection for Dior Men. While walking the red carpet, the boys shared a cute moment with Papa to Access Hollywood, the Love on the Brain singer said she could not wait to attend the premiere with her kids and finally see the movie. 'It's a lot of pressure now; everybody gets to see it,' said Rihanna. About playing Smurfette, Rihanna said she connects to the character in many ways. She identifies with her leadership, refusal to quit, and determination. In the new film, now showing in cinemas, Rihanna stars as Smurfette alongside Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, J. P. Karliak, Dan Levy, Amy Sedaris, and Nick Kroll. The singer is also a producer on the film and has written some original songs for it, too. In the new film, Smurfette leads the Smurfs into the real world to rescue Papa Smurf, who has been captured by the evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel. WATCH THE TRAILER HERE:

Legendary Pictures in Early Talks to Acquire Lionsgate — GeekTyrant
Legendary Entertainment, the studio behind Dune , The Dark Knight, and the Monsterverse, is reportedly exploring a big move by acquiring Lionsgate Studios. According to Bloomberg, talks are still in the early stages, but this potential acquisition could seriously shake up the entertainment landscape. Legendary, known for working alongside major players like Warner Bros. and Netflix, is feeling out a possible long-term partnership with Lionsgate before making any major commitments. One insider told Bloomberg that Legendary is exploring the possibility of partnering with Lionsgate on a number of projects to figure out whether they can effectively work together. This isn't Legendary's first swing at expansion. After parting ways with Wanda Group in 2024 and becoming an equal-share partner with Apollo Global Management, CEO Josh Grode made it clear that the company was shifting into aggressive growth mode. He hinted at pursuing billion-dollar takeovers, and for a while, there were even whispers about a potential play for Paramount. But now it looks like their eyes are on Lionsgate. Lionsgate brings a stacked deck of IP to the table and they include John Wick , The Hunger Games , Twilight , Saw , and Dirty Dancing , just to name a few. There's also Lionsgate's 20,000-title deep film and TV library. It's also fresh off a split from Starz, the streaming and TV platform it acquired in 2016. That separation became official in May 2025, which is reportedly when Legendary first approached the studio. So far, reps for both companies have stayed quiet, declining to confirm or deny any negotiations. Still, the market seems intrigued. Following news of the possible buyout, Lionsgate shares jumped nearly 20%, closing with a market cap just under $2 billion. If things go well with their joint projects, Legendary might just make an official move to bring Lionsgate into its growing empire.
