We might be getting closer to our first look at Avengers: Doomsday. Daisy Ridley is still holding out for the Rey Skywalker movie. Plus, Eliza Dushku says she will not return for the Buffy revival. Spoilers, away!
A report from Knight Edge Media (via World of Reel) alleges that Viggo Mortensen will not reprise his role as Aragorn in The Hunt for Gollum after all, and will instead be recast with a younger actor.
Deadline has word that David Dastmalchian will star alongside Ella Balinska in Kill Screen, the latest from Wolf Creek director, Greg McLean. The story concerns “a young woman (Balinska) and her three friends are drawn into a mysterious virtual reality horror game. Each level forces them to survive an entirely different horror subgenre—from slashers to supernatural, zombie horror to psychological. When they learn that dying in the game means dying in real life, the friends must outthink and outfight the game’s sadistic creator (Dastmalchian) before their luck runs out.
Daisy Ridley stated the currently untitled Rey Skywalker movie will be “worth the wait” in a recent interview with IGN.
Honestly, there are scripts that I read five years ago, and now I’ve gone, ‘Oh, maybe they will actually happen. I think over the years, I’ve learned how the reality of getting any film made is so massive. The hurdles are vast . . . But with this [Rey movie], particularly, I know that incredible voices and creatives are part of it, and I know the wait will be worth it.
