Morbius the Living Vampire

Oscar winner Jared Leto has signed on to star in Sony's upcoming spinoff based on the "Spider-Man" comic book universe. This will be Leto's second foray into comic book territory after playing the Joker in Warner Bros' DC Comics adaptation "Suicide Squad".

Leto will play Morbius the Living Vampire, an antihero of the Marvel comics created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gil Kane in 1971. The character is Dr. Michael Morbius, a scientist who attempted to cure himself of a rare blood disease, but ended up turning into a vampire and one of Spider-Man's enemies. In time he became a hero of sorts and headlined his own comic book titles.

The spinoff will be directed by "Safe House" and "Life" helmer Daniel Espinosa from a script by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, the creators of Netflix's "Lost in Space" remake.

"Morbius" is expected to begin production this year. In the meantime, the other "Spider-Man" spinoff, "Venom", will be released on October 5th, and the MCU sequel "Spider-Man: Far From Home" will hit theaters on July 5, 2019.

Jeremy Irons Picture
Veteran actor Jeremy Irons has joined the cast of HBO's upcoming "Watchmen" pilot for a new series based on Alan Moore's graphic novel series of the same name. Details about Irons' role are being kept under wraps, but it's definitely a lead role. The show is being developed by Damon Lindelof ("Lost", "The Leftovers"), who has explained on Instagram that it will not be a simple adaptation, but a "remix":
"We have no desire to ‘adapt’ the twelve issues Mr. Moore and Mr. [Dave] Gibbons created thirty years ago. Those issues are sacred ground and they will not be retread nor recreated nor reproduced nor rebooted. They will, however, be remixed."
The series is set in an alternate history where superheroes are treated as outlaws, and it embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own. Lindelof wrote the script and will also executive produce alongside pilot director Nicole Kassell and Tom Spezialy.

The cast also includes Regina King, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Adelaide Clemens and Andrew Howard.

Russell Crowe Picture

Oscar winner Russell Crowe is set to star former Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes in an upcoming limited series developed for Showtime. The eight-episode miniseries is based on Gabriel Sherman's New York magazine articles and subsequent book "The Loudest Voice in the Room: How the Brilliant, Bombastic Roger Ailes Built Fox News--and Divided a Country".

The film will be told from multiple perspectives and is intended to shed light on the psychology that drives the political process from the top down. Ailes ran Fox News for two decades starting in 1996, and was forced to leave the company in 2016, following multiple accusations of sexual harassment. Ailes became and adviser for Donald Trump's campaign after he left Fox, and died months later.

The first episode's script will be written by Sherman and "Spotlight" writer/director Tom McCarthy. McCarthy and Jason Blum ("Get Out") will serve as executive producers.

The limited series does not have an official premiere date, but Entertainment Weekly has suggested a possible 2019 release.

Here is Showtime's description of the series:
"To understand the events that led to the rise of Donald Trump, one must understand Ailes. The upcoming limited series takes on that challenge, focusing primarily on the past decade in which Ailes arguably became the Republican Party’s de facto leader, while flashing back to defining events in Ailes’s life, including an initial meeting with Richard Nixon on the set of The Mike Douglas Show that gave birth to Ailes’s political career, and the sexual harassment accusations and settlements that brought his Fox News reign to an end. Told through multiple points of view, the limited series aims to shed light on the psychology that drives the political process from the top down.

In many ways, the collision between the media and politics has come to define the world we live in today. We’ve seen this phenomenon depicted on screen as far back as the story of Charles Foster Kane, and it finds contemporary embodiment in the rise and fall of Roger Ailes. With Russell Crowe in the lead role, this limited series promises to be a defining story for this era."
