‘Digging Up the Marrow’ Sequel Apparently Not Out of the Realm of Possibility

Published

on

As reported earlier, Adam Green participated in a reddit AMA today. Unfortunately, he shot down reports that he’s pursuing the next film in the Halloween franchise, saying that the original source of this “news” was just spinning a more casual conversation into something that it wasn’t. More on that here.

Also throughout the AMA, questions were asked about a potential sequel to his latest film Digging Up the Marrow (review). While there’s certainly nothing remotely official, and it’s very possible that we’ll never see one, Green does seem quite open to the idea.

There are some SPOILERish comments following, so if you haven’t seen the film yet, you might want to consider holding off on reading further.

One reddit user asked Green, “What are the chances we’ll get a follow up to the Marrow? Maybe… SPOILERS you and Will ignore the warning and go on a mission to save Decker??”

Green responded:

I like the way you’re thinking as we’re thinking length same lines, but ultimately whether or not we return to The Marrow will depend on key factors like just how strongly the fans support this one, schedules for all those who would need to be involved, and the circumstances under which another Marrow story would be made. We had full creative freedom with this one which is a major reason why it turned out the way it did and why so many people are responding to it so positively. A studio never would have made this movie and certainly not this way. So our fingers are crossed and we’ll see what happens over the coming months, but in the meantime we’re all on to new things.

The words “especially if we make another MARROW story, sequel, etc.” also came from Green in response to a question about if he’d ever make another found footage/documentary-style movie again.

In response to another question, Green said, “We’d all be down for a sequel and already have so much worked out and in mind (we kind of had to in order to have this one so thoroughly thought out) so we’ll see what happens!”

In another response, he said, “MARROW is meant to scratch the surface of a huge world and get the audience thinking and imagining. To keep it feeling as real and grounded as possible we played things out like they would ‘really’ happen. Should we return to this story/world down the line, we would all like to see a bit more of their world down there.”

In another, he said, “Ultimately we would love to do more with it and show even more of their world in a future film or other project… but first we have to wait and see just how many people support this one. (So far, so really really really really good!)”

During the AMA, Green said that he does have 3 other new projects in the works, but couldn’t announce any of them yet. He said he may be able to give some more details within a few weeks.

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

on

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.
