According to Deadline, Dan Stevens has joined Adam Wingard's follow up to the Legendary monster mashup in an undisclosed role. The film itself is shrouded in mystery, other than to say that the film is about the next battle against each other.
Kiernan Shipka, Julie Bowen, and Randall Park will be starring in Totally Killer, a time-traveling comedy from director Nahnatchka Khan. The story follows a mother who is scared by the reappearance of the Sweet Sixteen Killer, a masked maniac who slaughtered a group of teenage girls in the 80s. With the help of her friend Amelia, she travels back in time to 1987 and teams up with the teen version of her mom to try and stop the killer.
Sean S. Cunningham stated in a conversation with CNN that a new Friday the 13th film is likely in the next two years.
I think for sure it will come back. But I can’t tell you it will come back this year or next. Will Jason come back in the theaters? Right now, it is 50-50...Both sides are really dug into foxholes. They’re not going to throw any grenades, but I don’t think anyone is going to call for peace talks.
The challenge of introducing new characters to an already crowded roster was discussed by writer Jeremy Slater.
They’re really flexible because a lot of it is just who do we want to see, and a lot of it is who have the fans been really clamoring for because, I’m sure you know, Mortal Kombat has an incredibly passionate and incredibly vocal fan base on social media. And there are people they really want to see in these movies and relationships they really want to see, and part of the problem is we’ve got a lot of returning characters from that first movie that you already have to balance. So if the last movie introduced 10 characters, we can’t necessarily turn around and introduce another 10 characters because then you’re dealing with 20 people in a movie and it becomes a sort of cameo parade. So you really have to go through and kind of cherry-pick, who are your three or four favorite heroes we can add, who are your three or four favorite villains?
How do we introduce some of these great characters but use them in a way that feels satisfying and doesn’t feel... You don’t want Erron Black to just kind of walk by in the background and everyone goes like, ‘Yeah, that was him.’ If you’re using that character or you’re using Johnny Cage or Kitana or D’Vorah, or any of these characters from the games, you want to make sure that you have a story to tell. And we have to figure out a way to do it in under two hours, and we have to figure out a way that it all makes sense to people who have only seen the first movie and are unfamiliar with the lore in the games and we have to get as close to that lore as we can, because the fans, that’s what they want to see.
So it’s very much a balancing act of there are certainly going to be people who are like, ‘My favorite character wasn’t included this time around just because they have 50 characters at this point. And we can’t have them all on screen.’ But I think out of the characters you do see, I think fans are really going to be happy with the interpretations. We’re trying really hard to make them as cool and as memorable and as fun as possible.
