Additionally, Simon McBurney (The Conjuring 2) and Ralph Ineson (The Witch) will co-star, with Deadline’s report noting that production on the film is now underway.
Willem Dafoe, Bill Skarsgard, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin and Lily-Rose Depp will also star, with Robert Eggers making Nosferatu as his next movie for Focus Features.
Bill Skarsgard will reportedly be playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film.
Deadline’s report indicates, “In the new reimagining, the pic is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman (Depp) in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire (Skarsgard) who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”
Eggers is directing and he also wrote the script.

Before Chris Evans grabbed a star-spangled shield and donned the mantle of Captain America, and even before the late, great, B-movie maestro Albert Pyun directed the straight-to-video 1990 "Captain America" movie, there was Universal's failed "Captain America" feature-length television film, which aired in 1979. Now a footnote in the history of superhero cinema, director Rod Holcomb's "Captain America" fits neatly next to the studio's 1978 "Dr. Strange" adaptation as similar attempts at seeing how Marvel's comic book characters could (extremely loosely) translate to low-budget, live-action TV material. Unfortunately for Holcomb, the project was a bit of an embarrassment.
Holcomb had already directed three episodes of Universal Television's "The Six Million Dollar Man" before taking on the task of adapting "Captain America," but the director was frightened that the production ended his career before it barely even began. The film starred Reb Brown, also known in B-movie circles from "Yor, the Hunter from the Future,...

The rollarcoaster of Firaxis’ Marvel’s Midnight Suns continues. After another announced delay last month, Firaxis and publisher 2K Games have announced at the D23Expo that the game will arrive December 2 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, while the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions will arrive at a later date.
The announcement was accompanied by a new gameplay trailer that “showcases the full breadth of what players can do in Marvel’s Midnight Suns.” As a new and customizable Marvel character, The Hunter, players will lead a team of supernatural super heroes to face the growing unholy threats posed by Lilith.
In addition, a new set of video shorts, entitled Marvel’s Midnight Suns Prequel Shorts, was also announced. Prequel Shorts is a set of five short videos that provide backstory on how Lilith became the Mother of Demons, and how superheroes like Blade,...

Marvel video games have a massive library’s worth of characters to draw from, thanks to the publication’s long history and Marvel’s love of the multiverse shenanigans and old-fashioned team-ups. Firaxis Games’ upcoming Marvel strategy title, Marvel’s Midnight Suns, already featured a huge cast of characters when it was announced, and the game’s cast of heroes and villains has only grown since then.
During Summer Game Fest 2022, Firaxis revealed a new trailer for Midnight Suns (which was even backed by Metallica’s “Master of Puppets”). The video doesn’t reveal much about the upcoming title’s story or gameplay (though this new video preview offers quite a bit of Midnight Suns gameplay), but it did provide plenty of “superheroes fighting demons” action. Even better, the video showed the game’s main antagonist, Lilith, corrupting Venom and turning him into a half-demon, half-Symbiote monster. Mind you, it...

Venice International Film Festival

VENICE, Italy -- The French and Egyptian co-production Chaos aspires to relate the difficulties of socially deprived citizens in an old cosmopolitan section of Cairo but it is so broadly drawn that it's hard to tell if it's meant to be serious or a lampoon.
Directed colorfully by Youssef Chahine and Khaled Youssef, the film, screened in competition at the Venice International Film Festival, tells of a brutally corrupt police officer named Hatem (Khaled Saleh) who lusts after pretty young teacher Nour (Mena Shalaby) and goes to all extremes to win her over.
Nour, however, is in love with handsome district attorney Sherif Youssef El Sherif) and wants nothing to do with the vile and overbearing cop. Scene after scene demonstrates the scale of Hatem's corruption, the torture he suffers from his unrequited love and the terror he metes out in frustration.
But sequences that seem as if they should be taken seriously, including brutality and torture, lead to romantically slight episodes that could come from an over-the-top soap opera. The young players are awkwardly starry eyed while Saleh plays the buffoon villain like a cartoon character.
Like many places, Egypt suffers from social upheaval and there is no doubt that it deserves filmmakers to bring its troubles to the world's attention. But it's doubtful that this picture will get the job done and boxoffice potential appears slim.
