Back last year it was reported that Fede Alvarez would be producing a new take on Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for Legendary.
Earier this year it was reported that Ryan and Andy Tohill would be directing the film, written by Chris Thomas Devlin. But those plans, a week into production, have collapsed.
Actress Jenna Ortega (You, Jane The Virgin) has been added to the cast of the upcoming Scream 5 from Spyglass Media. Ortega joins returning franchise cast members David Arquette and Courteney Cox who’ll reprise their respective roles as Dewey Riley and Gale Weathers, as well as newcomer Melissa Barrera (In the Heights). It is strongly rumoured that franchise star Neve Campbell will also return. The production is set to shoot in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Following the cancellation of San Diego Comic-Con 2020 many online events and activities have been announced as part of the ‘Comic-Con@Home’ program. Among these was an ‘An Evening With Kevin Smith‘ panel on Saturday, July 25th.
The Strangers is a 2008 American psychological horror film written and directed by Bryan Bertino. The plot follows Kristen (Liv Tyler) and James (Scott Speedman) whose stay at a vacation home is disrupted by three masked criminals who infiltrate the home. The screenplay was inspired by two real-life events: the Manson family Tate murders, a multiple homicide, as well as a series of break-ins that occurred in Bertino’s neighbourhood as a child. Some journalists noted similarities between the film and the Keddie cabin murders that occurred in Keddie, California in 1981, though Bertino did not cite this as a reference. This modern horror favourite is getting a new limited-edition BluRay release in the UK from Second Sight Films.
