He is aware that a writer is attached and I think he’s aware of the story (I’m not sure If he mentioned the latter cause it was a pretty wild night for me)
And that was all I asked him about BATB

Polly Pocket
Deadline reports Reese Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine, is now attached to produce the Polly Pocket movie starring Lily Collins for Mattel.
Friday the 13th
Speaking with SFX Magazine (via Games Radar), producer Robert Barsamian admitted the “Jason Universe†project is indeed working on a new movie, though fans should be happier to see Jason Voorhees “return in other unexpected ways†as part of the character’s new brand initiative. Â
We are actively working on a new movie – which will be the 13th in the franchise – as well as a new video game. [Jason will return] in other unexpected ways. We’re exploring a variety of opportunities, but consistently staying focused on authenticity.
The Amityville Horror
Meanwhile, David F. Sandberg revealed his upcoming Amityville movie will lean more into “suspense†than “gore and craziness†during his recent appearance at Midnight Fest.
I’m looking forward to doing a supernatural, classic horror again. Until Dawn was quite different and was more gore and craziness. Really looking forward to doing more of that suspenseful, supernatural horror.
Alita: Battle Angel 2
When asked by Collider if there was any movement on the Alita: Battle Angel sequel, Rosa Salazar answered, “It still might [happen]. [James Cameron’s] got the set.â€
The Twits
Netflix has released a trailer for its new animated film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Twits starring the voices of Margo Martindale & Johnny Vegas, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Ryan Lopez, Emilia Clarke, Natalie Portman , Timothy Simons, Nicole Byer, Jason Mantzoukas, Alan Tudyk, Mark Proksch, Rebecca Wisocky, and Charlie Berens.
The X-Files
During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Robert Patrick addressed the possibility of John Doggett’s return to the X-Files in the upcoming reboot.
It’d interesting to see what’s happened to him in the elapsed time in between him being there and wherever they pick up. They’ve never had me back before, because of my schedule. I’ve always been too busy. But that’s the character that’s most dear to my heart, and what I loved about him was he was a very strong, tough guy, but had a heart of gold. That’s why he’s so dear to me.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy
Starfleet Academy actress Gina Yashere signed off with “See you January 2026†in a recent Instagram post before editing it to say “early 2026†instead.
Ghosts
Finally, Spoiler TV has images from “Viking Wedding,†the October 23 episode of Ghosts.
Sam and Jay try to impress their trendy city friends while a misplaced bookcase threatens Thor’s ability to deliver an important speech. Also, Isaac rallies the ghosts to help the couple navigate a tough customer service ordeal.
