Looking forwards to this one.
Interesting that Willem Dafoe is in this: in Shadow of the Vampire he plays Max Schreck the actor from the original Nosferatu. Shadow of the Vampire is worth checking out. A great film that doesn’t get talked about enough.
When I first heard of The Exorcism starting Russell Crowe, my first thought was “oh, is the sequel to The Pope’s Exorcist out already?”, which I assume is what the marketing team for The Exorcism were banking on.
On the subject of Pope’s Exorcist sequels - they do need to get a move on given that they apparently need to make 199 of them…
Sean Astin on the map from Goonies:
“It’s an item that would probably be worth like $100,000 now,” he said. “And I think my mom threw it out.”
Made me laugh.
The Thing On The Doorstep
There was a (very) loose adaptation of The Thing on The Doorstep in 2023 - Suitable Flesh.
However it felt less like an adaptation of Lovecraft and more like an adaptation of Brian Yuzna/Stuart Gordon doing Lovecraft. Which isn’t a bad thing - love Reanimator.
