Ms. Marvel’s co-director talks about how their Batgirl adaptation will feel much different than Ms. Marvel. Get a few tiny more looks at Prey. The first poster for the (*checks notes*) Winnie the Pooh horror movie will terrify you. Plus, what’s coming on Riverdale, American Horror Stories, and more. To me, my spoilers!
Batgirl
In conversation with /Film, co-director Adil El Arbi stated Batgirl will be “much darker” than the Ms. Marvel series at Disney+.
Well, the thing is that it’s also an origin story, but obviously, Batgirl is in Gotham City, so it’s going to be much darker than Ms. Marvel, and our main character is older. I mean, she’s not a teenager, she already has a job. But I think that we’re still going to try to have the same visual vibrancy that is our trademark, you could say, and homages to the comic book, homages also to the animated series of ‘Batman’ and the Tim Burton movies. So that’s what we’re trying to do with that, but obviously, it’s going to be a bit darker than ‘Ms. Marvel’s world.
Goosebumps/Fear Street
In a recent interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, R.L. Stine revealed there’s been “talk” and “rumors” of additional Goosebumps films at Sony and Fear Street movies over at Netflix.
There’s still talk about more Goosebumps movies, and I also hear rumors about more Fear Street movies for Netflix, because the first ones did so well last summer. Those films kind of shocked me, because they were all R-rated, and I’ve never done anything R-rated! All those teenagers were getting slashed. I was like, ‘Suddenly, I have a slasher movie!’
