DC Studios Might Be Close to Finding Its ‘Clayface' Star
Chad Stahleski discusses why John Wick is going anime. Charlie Cox teases how Jessica Jones enters the world of Daredevil: Born Again. Plus, more creepy Alien: Earth teases, and Mortal Kombat II's writer discusses trying to balance the sequel's expanded roster of kombatants. To me, my spoilers!
Clayface
According to THR, the George MacKay, Tom Blyth, Jack O'Connell and Leo Woodall are the top contenders to play the title character in Clayface.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Deadline has word Jordan Peele, Osgood Perkins, and Taylor Sheridan are pitching their respective takes for a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film–although primarily as producers, rather than directors–as the franchise rights' go under auction today.
Mortal Kombat II
Speaking with Comic Book, Mortal Kombat II screenwriter Jeremy Slater discussed balancing the upcoming sequel's 20-fighter roster 'for maximum emotional impact.'
I was adamant that we had to have this tournament in the movie. We can't make people wait another movie and then be like, 'Come back for the finale.' It was finding a structure to make the tournament as satisfying as you want it to be because this had years of build-up. It's figuring out who the individual matches are going to be, which characters do you pair off for maximum emotional impact, but also for the most dynamic fights. Then, also, what is the larger story you are telling between the tournament?
It's a cast of 20 people. It's very easy for these things to become three-to-four-hour, sprawling epics, so you always have to be judicious in cutting things down and [focused on] what's the emotional story we are telling, and what is the story the audience cares about. Then making sure when you get to those moments that matter — the fights, the fatalities, the surprises, the deaths — that they land and they are as satisfying as everyone wants them to be. I think we nailed it.
O.T.H.E.R.
After returning to her childhood home, Olga Kurlyenko finds someone has installed 'a high-tech surveillance system' that 'tracks her every move as a dark presence lurks in the shadows' in the trailer for O.T.H.E.R.
Freakier Friday
Bodies get swapped for another whimsical cosmic reckoning in the latest trailer for Freakier Friday.
Nyaight of the Living Cat
We also have another trailer for Takashi Miike's Nyaight of the Living Cat.
Daredevil: Born Again
In conversation with Deadline, Charlie Cox seemed to imply Jessica Jones already knows Daredevil isn't dead following the events of The Defenders.
When did Jessica Jones find out that I'm not dead? At the end of Defenders, everyone assumes I'm dead.
There's a mutual respect for one another. She finds him overly serious and too much of a choir boy, and he finds her to be crass and making light of too many serious situations; she's more antihero than hero.
Untitled John Wick Anime
Speaking with THR, Chad Stahleski stated the upcoming John Wick prequel series is animated because 'Keanu and I are not interested in going backwards.'
Keanu and I are not interested in going backwards. With the anime, you don't have to de-age, you don't have explain weird stuff, you don't have to add a backstory. You accept anime in its own language without explanations. Anime just goes pop.
Resident Alien
As his humanity worsens, Harry can't get the hang of drinking milk in a clip from this week's episode of Resident Alien.
Alien: Earth
FX has also released a couple more teasers for Alien: Earth.
Rick and Morty
Finally, Jerry becomes extremely buff after punching his way out of a crystal prison in the trailer for next week's episode of Rick and Morty.

‘Ginny And Georgia' Finally Dethroned In Netflix's Top 10 List By A New Show
Ginny and Georgia Outside of a brief brush with the WWE, Ginny and Georgia has remained on top of Netflix's top 10 list for a full two weeks since it released on June 5. Fans waited years for it to return, and they were not going to miss its arrival at last. But now, at long last, Ginny and Georgia has fallen down Netflix's top 10 list, dethroned by not just one but two new shows. It's now in third, and second place is America's Sweethearts: The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, the reality series following the auditions for the famed cheerleading team and their performances and drama behind the scenes. This is season 2, which my wife has already watched, and I'm struck by how little drama there is behind the scenes, as all the girls feel like best friends, for the most part. Top 10 The new number one show on Netflix is The Waterfront. Here's the synopsis: This very much reminds me of a previous Netflix series, Bloodlines, and then sprinkling in a bit of Ozark as well. I suppose, given that most people liked those shows, Netflix is trying to find another hit in that vein, as neither are airing anymore. I am interested in the series not because of its concept but because of its cast. First, it stars Holt McCallany, Netflix royalty as one of the two stars of Mindhunter. In giving interviews about The Waterfront, he made news that it was possible that Mindhunter may return for a third season in the form of three two-hour movies, which would essentially be six episodes, but it's all down to David Fincher. In another lead role is Melissa Benoist, who was the CW's Supergirl for multiple years, and she'll always have a special place in my heart for that, even as she's about to be replaced by Milly Alcock in the DCU (star of another big Netflix show in the past month, Sirens). I also know Humberly González, as she played the lead role in a recent video game, Star Wars Outlaws. Oh, and she's in 18 episodes of Ginny and Georgia, the show she just dethroned here alongside her cast. It remains to be seen how The Waterfront will perform. A top spot debut like this is a big deal. It has a 67% critic score, but that's only with six reviews in. There isn't enough data for an audience score yet, so we will wait and see. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

In pictures: Behind the scenes of ‘Jaws'
From left, Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider, Spielberg and Richard Dreyfuss share a moment of levity while filming on the open water, shortly before the actors' characters face off with the shark. Snap/Shutterstock Shaw, who plays the gruff, shark-hating veteran Quint, lies on the stern of the Orca, Quint's boat. The veteran actor's troubles during the film's production were documented in the play "The Shark is Broken," written by his son Ian. Universal Pictures/MichaelRichard Dreyfuss smiles from the diving cage where his character, shark researcher Matt Hooper, gets up close with the toothy villain. To make that scene feel more real, the crew shot real footage of sharks from a cage in Australia. Universal/Kobal/Shutterstock Susan Backlinie and Spielberg prepare to shoot the film's iconic opening, which doesn't end well for the skinny-dipper played by Backlinie. During production, the crew wasn't sure if the film was "going to flop on its face," Backlinie told CNN in 2010.

Right: Onlookers watch artificial shark fins cut through the water during a tense scene. Pamela Schall/WWD/Spielberg, left, and Dreyfuss consider a shark carcass, brought to shore by Amity Island fishermen who believe they've caught the murderous culprit. Dreyfuss wasn't Spielberg's first choice for Hooper, but he was convinced after watching the actor in "American Graffiti."

Spielberg said he cast Scheider after running into the actor at a party, and Scheider recommended himself for the part. The Legacy Collection/THA/Shutterstock
