In this edition of Sequel Bits:
Maleficent: Mistress ofEvilis definitely a movie that’s coming out this year. In case you forgot about that, here’s a brand-new behind-the-scenes featurette about the “fantasy adventure that picks up several years afterMaleficent, in which audiences learned of the events that hardened the heart of Disney’s most notorious villain and drove her to curse a baby Princess Aurora. The film continues to explore the complex relationship between the horned fairy and the soon to be Queen as they form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within.” But wait, there’s more!
That’s right, here are some new character posters, featuring lots and lots of airbrushing and Photoshop. And if you think we’re done with this red hotMaleficentcontent, think again!

The members of Losers' Club have all grown-up inIt Chapter Two, which means a whole new set of adult actors had to take on the roles originated by the young stars of the first film. But what would happen if anIt Chapter Threefound the Losers returning to Derry 27 years later? Even older actors would have to play them, of course.Collidersat down with the adult cast and asked them to pick actors that might play their advanced age characters, and you can watch the results here. The best of the bunch:Bill Haderimmediately picks Jack Nicholson, and now I’d like to see that immediately.
Speaking of the hypotheticalIt Chapter Three, you probably shouldn’t count on it anytime soon. Sure,It Chapter Twois a big hit – but it also pretty much wraps-up the story ofStephen King’s book. At the same time, there’s still some mythology to explore. “The book, as it is, is done,” producerBarbara Muschiettitoldi09, at which point directorAndy Muschiettiadded: “There is a whole mythology to the book though…Mythology is something that always has opportunities to explore. It has been on Earth for millions of years. He’s been in contact with humans for hundreds of years, every 27 years. So you can imagine the amount of material.” At the same time, though, the director said: “It’s very exciting. But, for now, there’s nothing on the table.” In other words, don’t hold your breath.
MGM released a new group ofNo Time to Die, akaBond25, images, which you’re able to see above. They show starsDaniel CraigandLea Seydoux, and directorCary Fukunagastanding around looking very sleepy. I can’t say I blame them: I’m sure it’s a lot of work to make a big movie like this. Let them get some rest, damn it!No Time to DieopensApril 8, 2020.
