But we’re about to start hearing a lot more about it now that HBO has officially greenlit the project for eight episodes, and announced that Chris Mundy will be showrunning with Damon Lindelof and Tom King writing.

Hugh Grant was fantastic in HBO’s The Regime as the imprisoned former lover of a deranged dictator who locked him away in a dungeon beneath her castle. And it looks like he’s also going to turn it out in in Heretic, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods new horror about a man with a penchant for imprisoning (and torturing) Mormon missionaries. Movie’s out November 15th.

The world of Blumhouse’s Megan was already unsettling enough with its killer robots designed to become best friends with young children.

Brandy’s role in I Know What You Did Last Summer made her an iconic part of the horror film canon.

Sony confirmed in a CineEurope presentation that there’s a sequel to the Uncharted movie in the works, according to Variety. I hope this new one is more interesting than the first; I fell asleep watching it on an airplane, woke up 30 minutes after, and felt like I didn’t miss a beat.

Side note: I highly recommend playing Uncharted 4, which I beat last month.
