Published

Although The Twilight Zone has been off the air for decades, it still holds a very special place in the hearts of genre fans. The series was revived in 1985 and again in 2002, but the original show – which ran from 1958 to 1964 and was hosted by Rod Sterling – still holds up for its chilling, thrilling storytelling and its clever social commentary.

To see the show remade for a modern audience, there’s really only one man we’d want to do the job. And thankfully, he is.

Oscar winner Jordan Peele is adept at weaving commentary into his work, and his seemingly nonstop work with his production company, Monkeypaw Productions, shows a deep passion and appreciation for the horror genre.

Peele is helming this reboot of The Twilight Zone as both a producer and its host. The series will air on CBS All Access beginning April 1st.

A full trailer has been released for the series, and it looks pretty impressive. The cast is stacked with talented familiar faces, including Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley), John Cho (Searching), Adam Scott (Krampus), Jacob Tremblay (The Predator), Allison Tolman (Krampus), Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead), Sanaa Lathan (Alien vs. Predator), Greg Kinnear (Mystery Men), Tracy Morgan (30 Rock), and many more.

We know that at least one classic episode has been remade for the new series. As for the rest, we’ll have to wait until April to see what The Twilight Zone has in store.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date

Published

on

Jake gyllenhaal presumed innocent

Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s in ‘Presumed Innocent’

Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.

These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:

According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”

Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.

Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.

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.
