Spider-Man: Far From Home

A pair of set photos from location filming in the Czech Republic seems to confirm previous reports that Jake Gyllenhaal is playing Mysterio, the illusionist villain from the comics who uses stage magic and hypnotism to befuddle his opponents. It’s a snazzy costume, that’s for sure.

Doctor Sleep

In a new interview with Bloody Disgusting, director Mike Flanagan indicated the sequel to Stephen King’s The Shining will acknowledge Stanley Kubrick’s film.

Yeah, I think you do. I think you do have to acknowledge that. There is no version of the world where I am trying not to acknowledge one of the greatest films ever made. There’s no upside in shying away from that reality. At the same time, this is not The Shining. It’s its own story and in a very specific way. If you’ve read the book, you know exactly why it’s so different but it’s quite a tightrope that we’re walking I think. I’m having a great time doing it. I’m just going to get the movie out and then turn off the internet for two weeks and see how it all goes.

Star Trek: Discovery

A new poster from Entertainment Weekly confirms a January 2019 window for the second season’s premiere. Note the design at the heart of the delta—the shape is vaguely reminiscent of Discovery’s take on the Mirror Universe’s Terran Empire insignia, but the wing motif could also likely be a hint at the arrival of the Romulan Star Empire in Discovery’s story.
