Zombie Plane

THR reports Chuck Norris, Vanilla Ice and Sophie Monk have already wrapped filming Zombie Plane, a “nostalgia-soaked action-comedy” from directors Lav Bodnaruk and Michael Pier. The story is said to follow “a secret government organization that recruits celebrities to be undercover agents who together must save humanity from an imminent zombie attack. Norris, Ice and Monk play themselves (actually, Norris plays Commander Chuck Norris, who mentored and trained Ice into becoming a deadly secret agent), but the feature is reportedly full of of celebrity cameos, with a ’90s pop soundtrack including tracks by Ice himself.”

Fear Street

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, R.L. Stine suggested Netflix will “probably do more Fear Street movies.”

I’ve done everything you can think of and it’s all so far beyond what I ever dreamed. When we started out I said, ‘Let’s do two or three [Goosebumps books].’ I never dreamed that it would last this long. It’s all a big surprise to me. I’m excited to have a new TV show going [Disney+’s Goosebumps] and we’ll probably do more Fear Street movies too, and you know, that’s a thrill for me.
