Exciting New Project from The Daniels

According to World of Reel, insider @DanielRPK has claimed that Emma Stone is in discussions to star alongside Matt Damon in the upcoming “fun sci-fi action comedy” directed by Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, which is said to have “a big heart.”

The project is rumored to be a “superhero tentpole” film based on a well-known intellectual property, with “global warming” serving as the antagonist. The storyline is reported to unfold across two distinct timelines—one set in the 1980s and the other in contemporary times, featuring a group of teenagers in the ’80s. Damon is expected to portray the father of one of these characters.

If this information is accurate, the concept bears a striking resemblance to the 1990 animated series Captain Planet and The Planeteers. This prompts speculation that Emma Stone could be a fitting choice for the role of the “eco-villain” Dr. Barbara Blight, a character known for her schemes involving reckless technology and unethical animal experiments, often accompanied by her AI partner, MAL.

Is Crank 3 on the Horizon?

During a conversation with Collider at the Indiana Comic Convention, Crank franchise star Amy Smart shared her thoughts on the potential for a third installment. She indicated that enthusiasm for the project has “kind of died” over the years.

I remember hearing about it too, but then interest faded. It was such a wild film. I really enjoyed how Eve evolved in the sequel; she ends up stripping but has a heart of gold. Working with Jason was a great experience; he’s incredibly professional, a total badass, and always made sure I was comfortable with my stunts.

Linda Cardellini Talks Crystal Lake

In a recent interview with Deadline, Linda Cardellini shared insights about her role as Jason’s mother, Pamela Voorhees, in the upcoming series Crystal Lake.

There’s a blend of slasher, dramatic, and comedic elements. It’s a fascinating mix of everything that Brad, as a fan, wanted to incorporate into a series rather than a two-hour film.

I had never portrayed anyone quite like her. The idea that she is present from the very beginning—as the original murderer in the first movie—and that we know so little about her, but that understanding her will deepen our knowledge of Jason, intrigued me.
