Night On Bald Mountain
Crew: Screenwriting duo Matt Sazama and Buck Sharpless – previously of Dracula Untold (meh), The Last Witch Hunter (also meh) and Gods of Egypt (bleurgh!) – are signed up to provide the script and also exec produce.
Cast: Nada at the moment. Though we would expect that the movie’s major star – the terrifying demon Chernobog – will be mostly created by CGI anyway.
Worth it? Who’s idea was it to take the standout, and scariest, sequence from Fantastia and turn it into a full-length feature? This one could go either way, but for now, you can colour us intrigued.
Prince Charming
Crew: After the success of Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella remake, Disney announced this comedy spinoff about Prince Charming’s charmless younger brother who fails to live up to the family name. The script comes from Matt Fogel, whose single previous movie credit is, uh, Big Momma’s: Like Father, Like Son.
Cast: Currently unsure, but – like Rose Red – it could feature some crossover with a previous movie. In this case, Richard Madden could reprise his role as the real Prince Charming from Cinderella.
Worth it? There’s a fairly decent comic premise to this one, but we’re not convinced it could carry a whole feature.
