Babak Anvari is set to direct a new sequel to Cloverfield, which is reportedly a direct sequel to Matt Reeves’s original 2008 film.

In a new interview during the SXSW premiere of his latest film Hallow Road, Anvari teased the new sequel.

“So sad that I cannot because everyone on that team is very secretive, which I understand,” Anvari told Countdown City Geeks. “But whatever happens, just know that hopefully you’re going to get something amazing.”

Although Anvari didn’t disclose any details about the follow-up film, he did express his excitement about the project as “high.”

Deadline reported in December 2022 that Anvari was attached to direct the new Cloverfield movie with Joe Barton writing the script, J.J. Abrams producing for Bad Robot, along with Hannah Minghella and Jon Cohen. Bryan Burk, Matt Reeves, and Drew Goddard are also attached as executive producers.

The long-awaited Cloverfield sequel has received an exciting update from its director, Babak Anvari. This project has been in the works since 2018, and it has been nearly two decades since the original Cloverfield movie made its big debut, directed by Matt Reeves. Fans of the sci-fi horror franchise have been eagerly waiting for news, and it seems like the sequel is finally moving forward.

Babak Anvari shared the latest on the Cloverfield sequel, confirming that the project is still under development at Paramount Pictures. While he couldn’t reveal too many details, he made it clear that he’s extremely excited about the movie and the direction it’s headed. “You know, everyone on that team, they’re very secretive, which I understand,” Anvari said. “Whatever happens, just know that hopefully you’re going to get something amazing.”

Anvari, who became attached to direct the sequel in 2022, has a solid background in the horror genre.

The Mayfair Witches season 2 finale, "Into the Woods," certainly saw a lot go down. There was a big and major death, a key character is leaving (we think?), and Rowan has now been changed, possibly forever. As far as finales go, I think it was a really good one! So is there more to come?

At the time of this writing, AMC has not revealed whether a Mayfair Witches season 3 is happening. The Anne Rice series has been a bit hit or miss with fans, especially those who have read the author's books and can't help compare the novel to the adaptation. I do agree that the series is messy and need some work if it does continue.

Though I do think the story could be written much better, there actually is more to tell and explore. Plus, Anne Rice's universe has become pretty established at the network, with Interview...

[This story contains major spoilers for the Mayfair Witches season two finale.]

For Rowan and the other Mayfair witches, the events of the AMC series’ season two finale signal that the game is on, says showrunner Esta Spalding.

As fans saw on Sunday night, with the help of Ciprien (Tongayi Chirisa) and others, Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) succeeds in taking down the Scottish Mayfairs — headed up by Cortland’s (Harry Hamlin) brother Ian (Ian Pirie) — after they kill Lasher (Jack Huston) for the power of his blood. While Rowan is able to save Lasher, once in the fight to stop Julien, the other Mayfairs and save his children with Emaleth (Henessi Schmidt), he is felled.

In the lead up to his death, Julien’s intentions behind the sacrifice of both of his sons as well as Lasher come into starker focus, as does Julien’s necessity for Rowan and her power as part of a much larger plan...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Mayfair Witches Season 2 finale, “The Innocents.”] Leave it to those damn Mayfair Witches to turn ankle biters into appetizers! In the second-season finale of the Anne Rice adaptation series, our head witch in charge, Rowan Mayfair (Alexandra Daddario), managed to foil the Scottish Mayfairs’ grisly master plan to breed the hell out of newlywed demon Lasher (Jack Huston) and his baby-dispensing bride Emaleth (Hennesi Schmidt) before slaughtering their myriad (and rapidly growing) spawn. Why kill the kids? Because it turns out their blood is loaded with Lasher’s magical ability to control nature, to create life and reverse death. With assists from her current beau Lark (Ben Feldman), her ex Ciprien (Tongayi Chirisa) and his Talamasca pals, hilarious cousin Moira (Alyssa Jirrels), oh, and a werewolf, Rowan was able to tap into her newly evolving abilities to take down her relatives and save the lil ones. But alas, she was...

[This story contains spoilers from Mayfair Witches‘ penultimate episode of season two, “A Tangled Web.”]

Alexandra Daddario doesn’t feel like she can trust Mayfair Witches’ leading lady Rowan Fielding — and she’s not sure you should either.

The star of the AMC series, the second in the Anne Rice Immortal Universe franchise, admitted as much while discussing Rowan’s fate and what’s ahead for her, Moira (Alyssa Jirrels), Lark (Ben Feldman) and Cortland (Harry Hamlin) ahead of Sunday’s episode, “A Tangled Web.” The penultimate episode of season two ended on a stomach-clenching cliffhanger, after Rowan and the others found themselves trapped in Scotland as unexpected guests of a wedding for a prophesied union.

When Lasher (Jack Huston) is seemingly taken from Rowan by the Talamasca, she discovers a more sinister plan is afoot that has whisked him away to Scotland. Crossing the Atlantic in hopes of finding and retrieving her son, her former (demon) lover, and a magical accelerant to her power and the Mayfair coven,...

The AMC series Mayfair Witches recently debuted its second season and the show has been going strong till episode 6. The Alexandra Daddario starrer had a decent first season that was a faithful adaptation of Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches novels. Now, the witches are back to uncover more secrets.

While the sophomore season is still on episode 6, the series shows immense potential and plenty of material to cover. The ratings for the second season seem to have drastically increased and while many have criticized the series for its far-out premise, Daddario’s performance and the lore keep things interesting.

Here are five reasons why Mayfair Witches deserves a season 3:

The second season of AMC's Mayfair Witcheshas been a bumpy ride thus far, with ups and downs and abrupt twists and turns. The TV series, adapted from Anne Rice's Lives of the Mayfair Witches novels, has taken creative liberties to engage new viewers unfamiliar with the source material and attempts to stay true to some aspects of Rice's original writing to entice fans of the book series. The execution of creative freedom blended with the source material from the books has received mixed reactions, especially in the most recent episode, "Julien's Victrola," where shocking revelations were made and left fans divided on the showrunners' vision for the storyline.

In the hour, entitled “Double Helix,” we got flashbacks that filled in the blanks about why Rowan’s med-school romance with geneticist Lark (Ben Feldman) in San Francisco came to an end.

Ask the average pop culture fan about Mindy Kaling and they’ll likely respond about her career as a writer, actor, and general celebrity. They’ll probably credit her, to varying degrees, for a range of projects she’s been on or behind the scenes of since “The Office,” but maybe not the specifics of her work as producer.

Kaling became a producer on “The Office,” but in 2012 founded Kaling International at the same time that she launched her own sitcom, “The Mindy Project.” Since then, the company has produced original titles across film and television, from the aforementioned single-cam sitcom to recent hits like “The Sex Lives of College Girls,” which concluded its third season on Max.

An acclaimed NBCsitcom is getting the remake treatment. Although a few genre-defining comedies on the network have steadfastly avoided going through a revival or a reboot, such as Friends and Seinfeld, another influential comedy has had several iterations. The Office originated as a British workplace sitcom, spearheaded by Ricky Gervais. Still, following the global reach of the U.S. version, more country-specific offshoots have popped up.

There are several remakes of The Office, including versions that recreate standout scenes from the original. There has also been the recent Australian take on The Office for Prime Video, which went in a different direction by casting a female character in the bumbling Michael Scott role. A more recent well-liked NBC workplace comedy is getting a remake, albeit only the second.

Exclusive: There’s a new Superstore opening in Africa.

African streamer Showmax has ordered a local version of the NBCUniversal format show, which began life exactly ten years ago, when NBC picked up a pilot for the U.S. sitcom.

Showmax’s will be a Zulu-language adaptation produced locally by Barkers Media, which is known for shows such as Killer Front Page, Shebeen Queens and How to Manifest a Man in association with Universal International Studios. Production is set to begin this year.

The U.S. version, created by Justin Spitzer (The Office) ran for six seasons, starring America Ferrera and Ben Feldman among an ensemble cast of workers at mid-American superstore Cloud 9.

It was produced by Universal Television in association with Spitzer Holding Company,...

Justin Spitzer's irreverent, beautifully weird workplace comedy "Superstore," which ran from 2015 to 2021, shared some traits with other popular "office" sitcoms like "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Parks and Recreation," and, well, "The Office" — if any of those shows had a running gag about finding severed feet in their respective workplaces, that is. So why did the show end after its sixth season?

The answer is both simple and complicated if I'm being honest; a major star made the choice to leave the series behind for new opportunities, and a global pandemic put a damper on pretty much all human interaction and work for a while. Let's back up for one moment, though. "Superstore," true to its name, takes place in a fictional big-box store called Cloud 9 — which certainly bears some similarities to Targets and Walmarts across the country — and in a particular branch in St. Louis, Missouri that happens to be...

Superstore's Ben Feldman speaks to whether he would ever appear on St. Denis Medical. Feldman is known for playing Jonah, a lead character in the hit NBC workplace comedy Superstore. Following the lives of the workers at a fictionalized version of Wal-Mart, called Cloud Nine, Superstore ran on the platform from 2015 to 2021. St. Denis Medical is another NBC workplace comedy, but this time set in an underfunded hospital. Since its premiere in November, St. Denis Medical has been extremely popular, setting records for Peacock.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant for The Mayfair Witches season 2, Feldman addresses the possibility of him appearing on St. Denis Medical. While Feldman said there are no plans "right now" to include him on St. Denis Medical, he would be open to appearing on the show. He believes that Superstore creator Justin Spitzer will likely "go down the list" of Superstore cast members...

AMC's critically-acclaimed adaptation of Interview With the Vampire recently wrapped its superb second season, but the network's other serialized take on the works of the late Anne Rice, The Mayfair Witches, is also set to return for a sophomore run, and a new teaser trailer and poster have now been released.

The first season concluded with Rowan Fielding (Alexandra Daddario) giving birth to a human incarnation of the demon known as Lasher (Jack Huston), fulfilling the Mayfair family prophecy in the process.

This came on top of Rowan discovering that she is the heiress to a long line of witches - and learning the truth behind her own parentage, which ultimately led to her using her new magical abilities to turn her biological father to stone.

“In the books, [Lasher] grows really quickly in a matter of minutes. We’ve drawn it out a little bit,” showrunner Esta Spalding reveals to TV Line.

AMC Networks today released the official key art and a new teaser for the upcoming second season of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches. Starring Alexandra Daddario, Jack Huston, Harry Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa and Alyssa Jirrels, the new season debuts on Sunday, January 5 on AMC and AMC+.

Based on Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches, season two of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches continues the journey of Rowan Mayfair (Daddario) after she has unwittingly given birth to the demon Lasher (Huston).

Rowan is determined to understand what he has become – human or monster? – and to use him to fulfill her purpose as a healer, but when tragedy strikes, she must put aside her own desires and fight to protect her family.

The additional cast members include Ben Feldman, Ted Levine and Thora Birch, amongst others.

The series is executive produced by Mark Johnson, showrunner Esta Spalding, Tom Williams, Michelle Ashford,...

AMC’s released a new short teaser for the upcoming second season of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches. The 45-second video doesn’t give much away but does show that Rowan is ready for a fight.

The season two cast is led by Alexandra Daddario as Rowan Fielding, Jack Huston as Lasher, Tongayi Chirisa as Ciprien Grieve, Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair, and Alyssa Jirrels as Moira Mayfair. Ben Feldman, Ted Levine, and Thora Birch also star.

“Based on Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches, season two of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches continues the journey of Rowan Mayfair (Daddario) after she has unwittingly given birth to the demon Lasher (Huston),” reads AMC’s synopsis. “She is determined to understand what he has become – human or monster? – and to use him to fulfill her purpose as a healer, but when tragedy strikes, she must put aside her own desires...

Superstore, which has been off the air for more than three years, is sorely missed, but the good news is that NBC released the show's best replacement series in the fall of 2024. The original sitcom premiered in November 2015 and was beloved by many, as proven by its impressive run on NBC and 93 percent Rotten Tomatoes score. Superstore ultimately produced six seasons and 113 episodes before it came to an end in March 2021. While it would be difficult for any TV show to follow in Superstore's footsteps, one 2024 workplace comedy has the chops to do so.

A few months before the Superstore series finale, a spinoff, Bo & Cheyenne, was said to be in the early stages of development at NBC. As the title suggests, it would have featured Johnny Pemberton and Nichole Sakura reprising their Superstore roles as Bo and Cheyenne, respectively. However, NBC later decided not to go forward with the spinoff.

Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches will return for its second season on AMC in January, and viewers are now getting a look at season two of the series. The network has released a trailer.

Alexandra Daddario, Harry Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa, Ben Feldman, and Alyssa Jirrels star in the series inspired by Anne Rice's novels. The Mayfair Witches series follows neurosurgeon Dr. Rowan Fielding (Daddario) as she deals with the fact that she is from a long line of witches. In season two, she has given birth to a demon.

Monster movies have long held a captivating place in the landscape of cinema, offering audiences a thrilling escape into worlds inhabited by the unknown and the extraordinary. From the classic black-and-white horrors of the early 20th century to the CGI-enhanced spectacles of modern filmmaking, these films tap into primal fears and societal anxieties, reflecting cultural attitudes and human experiences. At their core, monster movies explore themes of fear, isolation, and the struggle between humanity and the monstrous “other.” Whether depicting the terror of werewolves or killer space aliens or the tragic story of a misunderstood beast, these films serve as a canvas for filmmakers to examine what it means to be human.

Matt Reeve’s “Cloverfield” (2008) stands out as a unique entry in the monster/disaster movie genre, blending the conventions of alien horror with a distinctive narrative style. Set against the backdrop of a city under siege, the film...
