The Supernatural Universe Gets Bigger with Spinoff “Wayward Sisters”

Published

on

You may have noticed, we love Supernatural here at iHorror. We even made you a list of our favorite episodes that are new to the series. We have followed them from the beginning, when they found their dad; when Cass joined the party, then Crowley; when they met Jody after her family was killed; when they defeated countless evils and made new friends and family along the way.

It seems borne out of all that familial love (and a widely circulating fan made petition) our Supernatural universe is about to expand, according to Movie Pilot, with the creation of the spinoff show Wayward Sisters. The show (which was pitched as Wayward Daughters, a much better title IMHO) will follow loved character Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes) and her foster daughters Claire Novak (Kathryn Newton) and Alex Jones (Katherine Ramdeen) as they work to fight monsters and be a family.

Also returning is fan favorite Donna Hanscum (Brianna Buckmaster).

A new face will be introduced in the form of early EARLY introduced psychic Missouri Moseley’s (Loretta Devine) granddaughter, Patience Turner (Clark Backo) who is thrust into the supernatural as she discovers her psychic powers. Here what they have to say about the new character:

“A high school over-achiever, Patience’s life is turned upside down when she discovers she’s a powerful psychic, a gift she inherited from her estranged grandmother, Missouri Moseley. Hunted by dark forces for her power, Patience finds refuge with Jody and her wayward family.”

This was all announced during SDCC2017 after Kansas opened for the Supernatural panel, a truly magical  moment. With the fans taking the initiative this series was created and will be introduced in the upcoming 13th season of Supernatural.

The show will be written by familiar faces in the Supernatural universe, Andrew Dabb and Robert Berens with Phil Sgriccia and Robert Singer also having their hands in the pie as well. The synopsis for the show states:

“The project tells the story of Sheriff Jody Mills (Rhodes) and a group of troubled young women, all of them orphaned by supernatural tragedy. Under Mills’ training and protection, the women will emerge as a supreme monster-fighting force.

Unlike the original series, which centers on biological brothers, Wayward Sisters is about a sisterhood of girls in a foster family.”

It would seem that Kim Rhodes and Briana Buckmaster are already excited for the new project and ready for a long show ahead of them. But many wonder if this will meet the same fate as their first spinoff Bloodlines and Movie Pilot had a great point.

Bloodlines attempted to expand the Supernatural universe with all new faces. We had no attachment and no concern about the safety or security of these characters in a universe we have so closely followed for over a decade. Wayward Sisters, on the other hand, is taking the smarter approach and using the attachment we have for this motley crew of women and focusing on their evolution. This is, after all, a fan created show.

I will always be more biased toward the Winchesters, but I look forward to seeing what Wayward Sisters has to offer. The new season of Supernatural premiers October 12th and we will see the introduction to Wayward Sisters sometime during this season. The boys have quite the mess to clean up first. And don’t forget, there’s a Scooby Doo crossover episode this season too (but honestly, how could that be forgotten?).

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.
