4 Things You Can Expect from The Walking Dead’s Mid-Season Finale

Published

on

The first half of The Walking Dead‘s fifth season comes to an end this weekend, and it’s pretty much a guarantee that it’s going to be both action packed and emotionally devastating. After all, haven’t we come to expect those two things from this show’s finales?

But what, specifically, can we expect to see this Sunday night, as we sit on our couches and digest all that leftover turkey? Let’s take a look into the iHorror crystal ball, and make an attempt to predict the future!

Walking Dead Beth

1) A BELOVED MAIN CHARACTER WILL DIE

If there’s any prediction I’m 100% sure of it’s this one, as it’s more or less carved into stone that not everyone will be making it to Season 5’s second half. In a recent interview, Norman Reedus revealed that filming the episode took its emotional toll on him, saying that he cried his eyes out for at least an hour due to the subject matter.

Of course, there’s no way of knowing whose death left Reedus in shambles, though I think it’s pretty safe to speculate that it will be Beth. Daryl Dixon’s driving force this season has been saving Beth, and so it would only make sense that it’s her death that wrecks him. Carol is another obvious choice, though she’s become such an integral character that I’m leaning more towards Beth getting the axe.

We’ve finally been given a reason to care about Beth this season, and that’s usually a sure sign, on this show, that a character’s days are numbered.

Walking Dead Dawn

2) THE HOSPITAL STORYLINE WILL BE NEATLY WRAPPED UP

The Walking Dead has a tendency to totally reinvent itself halfway through each season, so it’s likely that the Grady Memorial storyline will completely come to a close by the end of this Sunday night’s finale. Given how quickly the writers have been wrapping up storylines this season, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the hospital ordeal resolved well before the credits roll, with another threat being introduced and leaving us on a cliffhanger.

It’s worth mentioning that the episode’s title is ‘Coda,’ which is defined as “something that ends and completes something else.” There is always meaning to the titles of Walking Dead‘s episodes, so that’s a sure sign that everything we’ve become invested in this season is going to reach its conclusion.

3) FATHER GABRIEL WILL EVOLVE

At the end of this past Sunday night’s episode, Father Gabriel left the church, on an unknown mission. Though it seemed that Gabriel was escaping, actor Seth Gilliam revealed this week that the character was going on an “exploratory mission,” rather than an escape mission.

Gilliam also revealed that a scene cut from the episode laid out Gabriel’s mission: “He did have some lines where he was going out really to see if what was happening at the school really went down,” noted the actor. “Have people really reverted to cannibalism? Are they trapping other human beings and eating them?”

As the sneak preview clip above shows, Gabriel does indeed find out the truth about Terminus, and that truth is likely to forever change him. Gabriel has been desperately trying to hold onto the idea that people are generally good, and when he finds out that people are actually eating other people, we can expect that he’ll finally give in and realize he needs to do whatever he needs to do, in order to survive.

Will we finally see Gabriel kill a zombie this Sunday night? My money’s on a big ole YES!

Walking Dead Morgan

4) MORGAN WILL RESURFACE

Originally appearing in Season One, and then seen again in Season 3, Morgan Jones made a surprise appearance in Season 5’s premiere episode, following tree markings on the path to Terminus. It’s only a matter of time before Morgan pops back up again, and it seems that ‘Coda’ will be the episode where he does just that.

Actor Morgan Jones is listed on IMDb as appearing in the episode, and Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick hinted that a surprise guest will be on the couch this Sunday night. As for what Morgan will be doing, or where he’ll be popping up, that remains to be seen.

If anyone has their own predictions for The Walking Dead‘s mid-season finale, comment below and let your voice be heard!

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
