Guillermo Del Toro Set To Write And Direct Bad Robot’s ‘Zanbato’

After last year’s 3 wins and 13 nominations at the Oscars, for The Shape of Water, it’s no surprise that Guillermo del Toro is still one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Collider is reporting that del Toro has found his next project following Netflix’s Pinocchio which is already in pre-production. The amazing filmmaker will be both writing and directing Zanbato for Paramount and Bad Robot. While many of the details haven’t been shared, Collider has stated that “Zanbato centers around a young female ninja — a character who could be anywhere between 10 and 15 years old.” However, del Toro insists it’s not a ninja movie, it just features some. BTW- NOT a Ninja project,” del Toro tweeted. “But there are ninjas in it.” Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams will be producing the film along with Lindsey Weber.

Future “Cloverfield” Films Will Make It To The Theatre

The Super Bowl’s biggest surprise wasn’t The Patriot’s defeat, (fly Eagles fly!) but the release of “The Cloverfield Paradox” on Netflix, right after the game. The Cloverfield Franchise has a history of unique marketing, but announcing the impending release of an entry in one of cinema’s most intriguing franchises just hours in advance is pretty ballsy. The next film in the series however, the WW2 set Overlord will be making it’s way to theaters, according to thewrap.com. Netflix reportedly paid $5o Million dollars to Paramount for the exclusive right’s to Paradox, a hefty price tag the company might not be keen to repeat. Paradox has so far been panned by critics, with a score of 21 on Rotten Tomatoes to most recent entry 10 Cloverfield Lane’s 90. Netflix doesn’t typically release viewership numbers, but The Super Bowl itself was viewed by 103 million people. That’s a whole lot of eyes on an ad, even if a few people got up

Get Out Director Jordan Peele Is Heading To Lovecraft Country

It appears Get Out writer-director Jordan Peele is Heading to Lovecraft Country. Peele’s Monkey Paw Productions is teaming up with J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot and Warner Bros. on a new one-hour series, titled Lovecraft Country, that will call HBO home. Underground creator Misha Green is currently penning the script for the pilot, based on the 2016 book by Matt Ruff. The series centers on 25-year-old Atticus Black. After his father goes missing, Black joins up with his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950’s America to find him. This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the malevolent spirits that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback. Peele brought the book to Green’s attention. “When I first read Lovecraft Country, I knew it had the potential to be unlike anything else on television.” Green said. I’ll be honest, I thought Get Out was fantastic and

Hey there my Little Monsters, last week we learned that Stephen King and J.J. Abrams are again collaborating on a new series, Castle Rock, that will be shown exclusively oh Hulu.
