The Ugly Stepsister
Variety has word Lea Myren, Thea Sofie Loch Naess and Ane Dahl Torp will star in The Ugly Stepsister, the feature debut of Emilie Blichfeldt said to be “a daring and unexpected take on the world-famous tale” of Cinderella, “seen through the eyes of her stepsister, Elvira. “Combining comedy and horror…the gory film follows Elvira as she battles to compete with her insanely beautiful stepsister in a kingdom where beauty is a brutal business. She will go to any lengths to catch the prince’s eye. “
Spider-Man 4
Meanwhile, Jacob Batalon told Comic Book he doesn’t know if Ned Leeds will return for Spider-Man 4, opining “it’s sad [Spider-Man] has no friends anymore.”
I honestly don’t know. I don’t know what any future holds for any of them in that world. I just feel like if things happen, they happen. I hope so. I definitely hope so. It’s sad that he has no friends anymore.
Arachnophobia
Likewise, Jeff Daniels confirmed to Screen Rant that “no one’s talked” to him about returning for the upcoming Arachnophobia remake from James Wan’s Atomic Monster.
No one’s talked to me [about Wan’s remake], but I enjoyed doing it. I’m glad it was spiders and not snakes, I couldn’t have handled it, I’d still be in therapy if it was snakes. [Chuckles] All I remember is the last two weeks of that shoot, where we said goodbye to John Goodman, and everybody clapped, and then there were two weeks left of shooting with just me and that huge spider in the basement. My costar was that spider, as big as my hand that could rear up and hiss. They would put a rat in its cage on Friday to feed it, and then they would take out the tail on Monday.
