David Gordon Green wants more classic Halloween characters back for Halloween Ends. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City shows off just how much it wants to recreate the beloved games. Plus, new looks at what’s to come on Chucky, La Brea, and Supergirl. Spoilers get!
Halloween Ends
In conversation with Entertainment Weekly, David Gordon Green hinted Lindsey Wallace will return in Halloween Ends.
[Kyle Richards] was fun. In the ’78 film, you see that moment with her and Tommy upstairs in the hallway after their confrontation with Michael Myers, and Laurie is pleading with them to get out of the house and go get help, and she’s their protector. So it was cool to be able to take that character full circle to a sequence we have on the playground where she has a very similar, protective moment with kids on a playground. It was fun to be able to see her role reversal, her maturity as a character. I’m not sure we’ve seen the last of Kyle Richards in our franchise.
Eternals
Director Chloé Zhao revealed she pitched Marvel her Eternals idea with a William Blake poem and was “still allowed to stay in the room” in a recent interview with /Film.
Well, it started with me showing [Feige] a macro photo of sand and then quoting a poem from William Blake. So I still was allowed to stay in the room, so it was really nice. But in that poem, Blake was trying to convey that you can see the endless beauty and the meanings of the cosmos within the smallest things you can find on Earth. So the vision of film was to set out to capture that scale—something as large as the creation of the sun, and as intimate as whispers of lovers. So I think, you know, going on location and doing this kind of immersive shoot and having the support of understanding of this amazing cast was kind of how we got here today.
Elsewhere, producer Nate Moore confirmed to Comic Book that “no two” of the film’s Deviants “will look the same.”
As you know, the Deviants in the comics are called the Changing People, no two Deviants look the same. So in our film, no two Deviants will look the same. But you do see as sort of these parasitic predators, when they do kill off a predator in the film, they do take the shape of that predator. So they’re sort of bat-like Deviants. There’s a wolf-like Deviant. There’s a Deviant that look like all sorts of creatures from myth and legend in history. And these are the Deviants that the Eternals were sent again to eradicate, to help humanity advance. Because the Deviants are the Changing People, they come in all different shapes and sizes.
