Ridley Scott continues to harbor aspirations for a follow-up to Alien: Covenant
Taika Waititi's long-delayed Flash Gordon project gets a grim update. Percy Jackson and the Olympians has found its Athena. In addition, HBO gives a glimpse of what's coming up for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Peacemaker Season 2, Welcome to Derry, and Dune: Prophecy. Folks, let the spoilers roll!
The Sanctuary
According to Deadline, Daniel Zolghadri (Y2K) has been tapped to star in The Sanctuary, a sci-fi/horror film from directors Yonah Lewis and Calvin Thomas. The story revolves around "an orphaned billionaire (Zolghadri) [who] dedicates his life and wealth to finding the ghosts of his parents with the help of a skeptical radiation scientist."
Ridley Scott's Alien
In a recent interview with THR, Ridley Scott suggested that Alien: Covenant is ripe for a sequel.
Covenant, Scott believes, is the ideal choice for a follow-up due to the girl in the [cryo pod] and Michael Fassbender's murderous android David, who has alien eggs and 2,000 colonists at his disposal. It's a perfect starting point.
Flash Gordon
During a recent chat with Collider, producer George Nolfi stated that he's not heavily involved with the aforementioned Taika Waititi's silent Flash Gordon reboot.
I don't have too much involvement with that one. There are a couple of things coming up that I can't discuss just yet, which I'm quite excited about. However, I'm not heavily involved with Flash Gordon at the moment.

Wonka 2
Hey U Guys, via Screen Rant, received an update on Wonka 2 from Paul King.
We're still in the early stages, with about half of a draft completed. We've got a solid story idea, and we know where we want to take him. I might be able to squeeze in some international travel. Hopefully, I can rack up some air miles on this one.
The Occupant
The body of a heart surgeon's daughter is taken over by an ancient evil during her own funeral in the trailer for The Occupant, opening in select US theaters on December 6.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
TV Line has reported that R&B singer-turned-actress Andra Day has been cast as Athena for the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Peacemaker/Welcome to Derry/Knight of the Seven Kingdoms/Dune: Prophecy
A new trailer for Max's 2025 programming lineup includes fresh footage from Peacemaker, Welcome to Derry, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and Dune: Prophecy.
The future of movie-making might see a merge of technology and storytelling, as Io9 reports that directors are exploring virtual reality movies, incorporating advanced tech to create immersive experiences for viewers.
Furthermore, as new adaptations of classic stories continue to emerge, fans of Flash Gordon can look forward to Taika Waititi's silent reboot, which is expected to incorporate modern technology to bring the iconic sci-fi character into the present day.
