James Gunn provides an update on Man of Tomorrow, Fall literally flips on its side for Fall 2, and Bigfoot ruins a dating contest. It’s morning spoilers!
The Earthling
Deadline reports Final Destination: Bloodlines’ Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein are attached to direct The Earthling, an adaptation of Jonathan Marty’s unpublished short story at Columbia Pictures. The plot is firmly under wraps, but the “survival sci-fi story” is said to contain “shades of The Martian and Edge of Tomorrow.”
Patricia Wants to Cuddle
Variety reports Sophia Takal (Black Christmas, 2019) is attached to direct a film adaptation of Samantha Allen’s horror-comedy novel, Patricia Wants to Cuddle at Votiv.
The story concerns the “final four contestants of a reality TV dating show called The Catch as they arrive on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest, prepared for another week of sleep deprivation, invasive interviews, and salacious drama. Each has her own reason for joining the show, from brand sponsorships to trying to amass followers to even finding love. However, no one is prepared for Patricia, a misunderstood local living alone in the island’s dense woods. When the cast and crew finally encounter her on the island’s highest peak, they realize that survival, not romance, may be the biggest prize.”
Though not stated in the synopsis, “Patricia” is revealed to be a hairy monster in the mold of Bigfoot.
Fall 2
Fangoria reports Outlander: Blood of My Blood‘s Harriet Slater will star alongside Arsema Thomas and Tom Brittany in Fall 2, which will substitute two women trapped on a pole for two women trapped on a plank.
According to the synopsis: “Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand. After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.”
