This Week in Dead Meat | May 25th

What’s Going On In The World

1. Josh Hartnett Will Battle a Sea Creature in Netflix Series from ‘The Umbrella Academy’ Showrunner: The Hartnett rennaissance is upon us (congrats Patrick Willems) with his starring role in this new limited series that is maybe giving a bit of Dredge vibes??

2. ‘Final Destination Bloodlines’ Coursing To Franchise-Best $51M Bow: Horror continues to dominate at the box office, with Final Destination Bloodlines blowing past the openining weekend grosses for past entries in the franchise.

3. Alex Garland-Directed Film Adaptation of ‘Elden Ring’ Coming From A24: Is this horror news? No not really, but Chelsea’s streamed Elden Ring and frankly “Alex Garland is directing an Elden Ring movie” is not a sentence I expected to ever read.
