Guest Stars Attending the London Film and Comic Con 2017 – Update
Its good news and bad for us horror fans I’m afraid, with a significant guest cancelling the tour but some kick ass new ones joining the fun at the London Film and Comic Con. Linda Blair is out, which is a real shame as she was on my personal interview list. Guess I will have to wait. However don’t let the lack of green pea soup get you down, take a look at her replacements.
David Morrissey
There is bound to be a walking dead panel now there is a build-up of Walking dead stars going. Morrissey is a long standing British Drama actor but no one can forget what he brought to The Walking Dead table as the Governor.
Doug Jones
Without doubt the greatest creature actor of our time. Having spoken to Dougy through email I am thrilled that I will get to meet him in person and can only hope that he can spare a few moments of his time to talk to iHorror about his amazing career. Everyone has seen a movie with Doug Jones in, whether you know it or not. He was Abe Sapian in Hell Boy (2004), Fauno and Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), Joey in Men in Black 2 (2002) and the list goes on and on and on. check out his imdb here
Tom Skerritt
Just in time for the Alien Covenant release. Skerritt has been a Hollywood A-lister for decades and although most horror fans will know his work in the best sci-fi horror of all time, I’m talking of course Alien (1979) where he played Dallas, he has been in a ton of horror movies dating back to the 70’s. The Devil’s Rain (1974), Savage Harvest (1981), Dead Zone (1983),Poltergeist 3 (1988) to name but a few. Yes Tom you can have a place at my table anytime.
Steven Yeun
Mu..mu..Maggie. Yes exploding head, eye popping Steven Yeun will be front and centre. Yeun was suppose to attend the LFCC back in 2015 but had to cancel, so hang in there Glenn.
Veronica Cartwright
Again another huge Hollywood horror actor from Alien (1979) but also from Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds (1963) and The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). But for me her most entertaining work although quite dark in nature was her role in The Witches of Eastwick (1987) as Felicia Alden. Cartwright played a obsessed religious, paranoid neighbour that was beaten to death by her husband with a fire poker because she would not stop projectile vomiting cherry pips. Its a shame Linda Blair isn’t going as they could have had a puke off!
Alan Tudyk
Tudyk has been in countless comedy shows and movies but his most memorable has to be his extremely gory movie Tucker and Dale Vs Evil (2010) which was absolutely hilarious, I must have watched this movie 10 times.
There are some other known faces attending too, check out the full list here, get your ticket and be sure to say hi to the guys in the iHorror t shirts.

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

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