Hugh Grant Hits Back on Those Wild Doctor Who Rumors

Stanleyville

An unhappy woman is asked to participate in a bizarre, Squid Game-esque experiment for the chance to win both “true enlightenment” and a “used habanero-orange compact SUV” in the trailer for Stanleyville.

King Tweety

We also have a trailer for King Tweety, a functional remake of King Ralph starring Sylvester and Tweety coming straight-to-DVD this summer.

Reginald the Vampire

Variety reports Syfy has ordered ten episodes of Reginald the Vampire, an adaptation of Johnny B. Truant’s Fat Vampire books starring Spider-Man’s Jacob Batalon. The series will star Batalon as the titular Reginald, “a newly turned vampire who crashes into a world populated by beautiful, fit and vain vampires. New on the scene, he has to overcome various barriers such as a bully of a boss, falling for a human girl he can’t have, and a vampire chieftain who wants him dead. Fortunately, Reginald discovers he has a few powers of his own.”

Doctor Who

Hugh Grant denied recent, wild rumors he’s been cast as the next Doctor on Twitter.

The Patrick Star Show

Comic Book reports Nickelodeon has ordered thirteen more episodes of The Patrick Star Show.

Moon Knight

Ethan Hawke described his mysterious Moon Knight villain Arthur Harrow as a “sane lunatic” (opposite Oscar Isaac’s “mentally ill hero”) in a new interview with /Film.

The histories of movies are paved with storytellers using mental illness as a building block for the villain. There’s countless mentally ill villains, and we have a mentally ill hero, and that’s fascinating because we’ve now inverted the whole process. Now, as the antagonist, I can’t be crazy because the hero is crazy. So I have to find a sane lunatic, or a sane malevolent force.

Relatedly, Harrow appears to summon a demon in the latest clip.

Halo

Pablo Schreiber confirmed the second season of Halo begins filming this summer in a new interview with Collider.

We’ll be filming again this summer. We’re still figuring out exactly what the start date is, but we will be in production by summertime because we have a hard date that we need to be up and running in order to get some location that is weather affected.

Paramount+ has also released another new trailer showcasing each of the series’ main characters.

Star Trek: Picard

Picard and co. continue to explore the hellscape that is modern day Los Angeles (give or take a few years) in the synopsis for this week’s episode, “Watcher”.

With time running out to save the future, Picard takes matters into his own hands and seeks out an old friend for help. Meanwhile, Rios ends up on the wrong side of the law and Jurati makes a deal with the Borg Queen.

Snowpiercer

Riverdale

Finally, the Archie kids mourn Hiram Lodge in the trailer for “Death at a Funeral”, next week’s episode of Riverdale. Funny they don’t mention the superpowers, though.
