Blumhouse’s BLAIR WITCH Reboot Film Finds Its Director
The Blair Witch Project changed the face of horror forever in 1999. Shot on a minuscule budget, it pioneered not only the found footage genre, but also the use of the internet as a marketing tool for film. It captured the mainstream zeitgeist in a way few horror films outside The Exorcist or The Silence of the Lambs had. Back in 2024, Variety reported that The Blair Witch Project franchise would return for a new reboot, courtesy of Blumhouse Productions and Lionsgate. Jason Blum will team with producer Roy Lee, who previously produced the 2016 Blair Witch reboot. Two years later, things are moving forward, as Variety reports that Dylan Clark will be its director.
He will also pen the film’s script. There aren’t plot details at this point, but original stars Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams are coming back once again.
LionsgateThe original film changed the game, landing young directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez on the cover of TIME Magazine. Yet none of its sequels have ever been able to capture that lightning in a bottle again. A more traditional horror sequel came out just a year later in 2000, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2. It failed to make much of a splash, and many thought of it as a cash grab. Sixteen years later, after the found footage genre became hot again, we got a new installment, with 2016’s Blair Witch. Critics liked it overall, but it found little love at the box office. There have also been games. Can Blumhouse turn things around for this franchise?
The Blair Witch Project was about three college students who went into the Maryland woods to film a documentary on a local legend. They disappeared, and the terrifying footage they left behind became the basis for the film. Audiences in 1999 absolutely believed the movie was an actual documentary, leaving movie theaters totally shaken. Filmed on a budget of $200,000, it made micro-budget horror a trend, one which Blumhouse later capitalized on with Paranormal Activity. So in many ways, this partnership makes perfect sense. Let’s see how long it takes to bring this reboot to the big screen.

Joining Lestat on “tour” are two standout partners, each bringing the show’s high-voltage style to life in distinct ways: POM Wonderful and Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
POM Wonderful pairs perfectly with The Vampire Lestat, acting as a wellness companion to the larger-than-life rockstar vampire himself. Powered by Content Room, AMC Global Media’s award-winning brand entertainment studio, POM will be woven into the new season through bold, fan-forward creative content. This will include enticing ad campaigns featuring Lestat sporting the bold, ruby red elixir as a nod to POM’s Antioxidant Superpower and the Immortal Universe’s signature aesthetic.
As previously announced, Fender will have a series of four custom Player II Modified Stratocaster guitars – the Fender® Limited Edition LeStrat Stratocaster® HSS – unveiled in the show as Lestat’s rock star era unfolds.

James Gunn Announces LANTERNS August Premiere Date
James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU is officially off and running. We have movies and TV shows to look forward for the foreseeable future after a great initial push. Creature Commandos is already streaming on Max. Superman hit cinemas in July and was a big success, while Peacemaker season two just wrapped in October. Now we know when the franchise’s next television installment will arrive. After getting delayed earlier this year, Gunn announced Lanterns will debut on August 16, just one month after Supergirl hits theaters. And unlike the show’s trailer, the image he used to share this news includes a whole lot of green.
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light. #Lanterns premieres August 16 on @hbomax.bsky.social.
— James Gunn (@jamesgunn.bsky.social) 2026-04-30T15:00:05.389ZWhat can we expect from the show when it does premiere? Here’s everything we know so far about Lanterns.
HBOTitleThe title of the series is simply Lanterns. The green is implied, I guess.
DC StudiosLanterns PlotIn his initial video announcing the DC Studios slate, James Gunn described the show John Stewart and Hal Jordan investigating a “terrifying mystery” that has huge ties to the entire franchise. He likened the “Earthbound” story to True Detective.
Later descriptions include a fuller look at the plot. “Lanterns follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.”
In a new trailer for its 2026 shows, HBO revealed its first clips from Lanterns. It highlighted how nutty Hal Jordan is. It also showed the Green Lantern ring.
First teaser for DC’s ‘LANTERNS’

The series full trailer proved Gunn’s description was very accurate.
Behind the ScenesOzark showrunner and True Detective: Night Country producer Chris Mundy will serve as Lanterns‘ showrunner. Mundy along with comic writer Tom King (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow) and Damon Lindelof (Lost, Watchmen) have written the series pilot and bible.
James Gunn and Peter Safran said of the announcement: “We’re thrilled to bring this seminal DC title to HBO with Chris, Damon and Tom at the helm. John Stewart and Hal Jordan are two of DC’s most compelling characters, and Lanterns brings them to life in an original detective story that is a foundational part of the unified DCU we’re launching next summer with Superman.”
“When we first started the DCU, the first couple of weeks of heading this out, we got together with a group of writers, and Tom King was one of those writers, and we were in this room, and we came up with sort of this concept for Lanterns. It’s a much more it’s a very grounded series, a very real series, which is a strange thing to say about a Green Lanterns show. But it’s going to be something like nobody’s ever seen before.”
James Hawes, director of series like Doctor Who, Penny Dreadful, and Black Mirror, will direct the the first two episodes of Lanterns. He, along with the writers above, will serve as executive producers.
Taking to social media, James Gunn revealed a first-look image from Lanterns. And in it, we get our first look at Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern Ring. Additionally, we see Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart together for the first time.
John P. Johnson/HBOGunn notes in his post, “Excited that #Lanterns is now in production. DC Studios’ new show for HBO and Max, from creators Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, & Tom King, starring Kyle Chandler & Aaron Pierre, is something really special.”
John P. Johnson/HBOFilming is expected to take place from January to June 2025.
Lanterns‘ CastNBC/DC ComicsThe series will focus on the veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan working a case with rookie GL John Stewart. In order to play these roles, DC would need some heavy hitters. And heavy hitters they got! Kyle Chandler (Bloodline, Friday Night Lights) plays Hal Jordan.
To play the role of John Stewart, DC cast Aaron Pierre. Pierre had a big 2025 with both the Netflix thriller Rebel Ridge and as the titular voice in Disney’s not-live-action live action film Mufasa.
“Aaron Pierre is somebody who I’ve wanted to work together with for a long time,” said James Gunn during an NYCC panel. “People don’t know, but he was almost cast as Adam Warlock. He’s an amazing actor, and I just really admired him from the beginning of his career. Seeing him read with Kyle was one of those miraculous moments. I don’t care what they’re saying, I just love what they’re saying together.”
Max PR/Warner Bros AnimationBoardwalk Empire‘s Kelly Macdonald also joins Lanterns as “Sheriff Kerry, a no-nonsense woman deeply devoted to her family and close-knit town. Her resilience, shaped by a complex past that’s hardened her resolve, anchors her when the community’s secrets begin to surface.” According to Deadline, Kelly Macdonald’s character may also “be a potential love interest for Chandler’s Hal Jordan.” Very interesting.
Additionally, Jason Ritter joins Lanterns as Billy Macon. The official description for this character notes, “Billy Macon is a good-looking charmer who does his father’s bidding. Capitalizing on his family’s reputation, he clings to his small-town ego and has everything to lose.” Ulrich Thomsen will play villain Sinestro.

Lanterns‘ Release DateLanterns will debut on August 16, just a month after Supergirl and a couple of months before Clayface.

Eric Kripke on THE BOYS Big Supe Death and Moral Sacrifice
If there’s one thing that’s true in The Boys, it is that nothing good comes from being in alliance with Homelander. He will use anyone to fit his twisted agenda and ask them to do things that are absolutely sickening and immoral. And, as we’ve seen throughout this series, once he’s done with someone or feels like they are a threat, he will kill them right away. Well, unless you’re Soldier Boy. There was no one who sold her soul more for Homelander than Firecracker, and she paid for those choices with her life in episode five. Showrunner Eric Kripke says that ending was fitting for Firecracker in The Boys, and we’d have to agree with him.
RELATED ARTICLE
THE BOYS’ Valorie Curry on Firecracker’s Conflict and Consequences“She represents these people that, no matter if you’re going to work for Homelander or various Presidents of the United States, you need to compromise every value and character and belief you’ve had,” Kripke told Nerdist. “They’re not happy until you completely humiliate yourself and give them everything you ever have. And then they throw you out. And they usually throw you out right after you’ve completely denigrated yourself… We had this great story of her completely sacrificing her morals… You prostrate yourself before these guys and they immediately kick you out in the cold.”
Jasper Savage/Prime VideoThat certainly reflects things we’ve seen in our political and overall social climate many times before. There will be someone so incredibly devoted to a leader or public figure who is clearly corrupt, and they eventually have to pay in some manner. Sure, it’s not having a supe ram your head into a statue, but it is often through financial loss or a complete crumbling of their reputation and livelihood. Firecracker was so deeply into the mess that by the time she really realized Homelander was insane, it felt too late to pull away. It’s a true cautionary tale about idolizing someone, indeed.

Christopher Nolan Says THE ODYSSEY Is Shorter Than OPPENHEIMER
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is coming to theaters in July. And we are sure that anyone who wants to see this film starring Zendaya, Tom Holland, Matt Damon, and a host of other A-list actors knows that it will not be a short film. How could anyone tell this epic tale properly without taking a few hours to do so? Nolan did use more than 2 million feet of film to make The Odyssey, but he says it will actually be shorter than Oppenheimer. Universal Pictures
He revealed this information during an interview with Associated Press. Oppenheimer clocked in at 180 minutes, which is three hours. Thankfully, the MCU trained us all to be able to sit for that long of a film. But shorter could literally mean that The Odyssey is 2 hours and 59 minutes long, right? That would be quite funny, actually. Either way, Nolan is hopeful that audiences will love his take on one of the most enduring stories in human history.

THE ODYSSEY New Footage Shows Intense Trojan War Battle“There’s a massive amount of pressure,” said Nolan. “Anyone taking on The Odyssey is taking on the hopes and dreams of people for epic movies everywhere and that comes with a huge responsibility. What I learned from [making The Dark Knight trilogy] is that what people want from a movie about a beloved story, a beloved set of characters, is they want a strong and sincere interpretation. They want to know that a filmmaker has gone to the mat for it. I really tried to make the best film possible.”
The Odyssey will come to theaters on July 17.
