Horror Weekly News: Casting Call for Nun 2 Announced. Don't Worry Darling Trailer Released.

 




The Nun 2 is happening! It’s no surprise that there is a sequel and after THE NUN came out in 2018 and proved to be a hit, there were talks about a second part. 


But when COVID hit and so many projects were shelved, and shootings were halted, there was speculation that The Nun 2 might either be further delayed or not happen at all. 


Well, it is definitely going on floors soon based on the casting call link. 


What’s more there is a synopsis too. 


Taken from the Cast It Talent site: 1956 - France. A priest is murdered. An evil is spreading. The sequel to the worldwide smash hit THE NUN follows SISTER IRENE as she once again comes face to face with the demonic force VALAK - THE DEMON NUN


The shooting is supposed to take place between September and December of this year and that too in France. 


They are looking for girls between 10-16 years. 


The two characters for which they are actively seeking is of a girl called Sophie who is supposed to be this meek, bullied girl. Her life changes when she becomes haunted by demons. 


The other character is for a girl called Antoinette who is the atypical bully who is going to make Sophie’s life miserable. 


The two girls will be attending St. Mary’s School in France. 


The Nun 2 is produced by James Wan and Peter Safran. 


In other news…


The trailer for Don’t Worry Darling has dropped and already garnered a positive response. 


The movie is directed by Olivia Wilde who also stars in the movie. Harry Styles and Florence Pugh star in this horror thriller as well. 


The trailer shows Alice and Jack living a happy life in a picturesque town along with friendly neighbors. Things take a strange turn when Alice witnesses one of the wives behaving erratically and then jumping off the roof. 

She begins to question the secret project all the husbands in the community are working on. When she doesn’t get the answer she wants, she begins to feel threatened and tries to flee. Her husband is obviously none too pleased with her questioning everything when they should be content with their idyllic life. 


A scene shows her on a chair with plastic wrapped around her face which she tears off.  


Many have compared the movie to The Stepford Wives and The Truman Show. 


While it does show similar elements it isn’t likely the movie would directly lift from these extremely popular movies. 


As per Olivia Wilde’s statement: “What would it take for you to give up that life, that perfect life. What are you really willing to sacrifice to do what’s right? Are you willing to dismantle the system that’s designed to serve you?”


The movie has everyone definitely intrigued. 

Watch the trailer: 


 


 Special Mention…


It’s Friday the 13th! What better way to celebrate this day than to watch a horror movie. Unless you’re not superstitious and Friday is just another Friday. 


For Horror Fans though, here’s something interesting: Firestarter (adapted from Stephen King’s novel) releases today. 


The movie stars Ryan Kiera Armstrong and Zac Efron and will be released in theatres and on Peacock (streaming service) simultaneously.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.   Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After leaving the asylum and put in house arrest, Tom begins to believe the house is either haunted or he is hallucinating.  Most times, when we think about criminals, we wonder what could possible have prompted them to fall into a life of crime.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying.  What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot  We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
