Dark Matter, The Batman, The Crow Reborn, And Other Film And TV News

Dark Matter, The Batman, The Crow Reborn, and other films and TV shows have made recent production news.

These productions come from studios based primarily in the United States. The production information within is subject to change.

The Crow Reborn

Sony Pictures has obtained the rights to the planned graphic novel adaptation The Crow Reborn. The project is intended as a complete relaunch of the property, which was supposed to develop into a full-fledged franchise after the release of the original Crow when lead Brandon Lee died before production ended. Reportedly, the movie will hew more closely to the source material than the 1994 film.

The Batman

A new report reasserts the claim that The Batman will be a standalone film completely untied to the DC Extended Universe. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros not only wants the film to be its own entity but has also booted Ben Affleck from the role. This contradicts director Matt Reeves statement that the movie will indeed tie into the DCEU.

Dark Matter

Syfy has decided to cancel its series Dark Matter after three seasons.

Killjoys

Syfy and Space have opted to renew Killjoys for two more seasons before the third season’s finale.

Mogadishu, Minnesota

HBO has passed on a pilot for K’naan Warsame and Kathryn Bigelow’s drama Mogadishu, Minnesota.
