The future of one of horror’s most enduring franchises is coming into focus. The franchise in question is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which celebrated 50 years of existence last year, dating back to director Tobe Hooper’s seminal horror classic. Now though, all eyes are on what comes next as a bidding war has erupted over the rights, with several high-profile filmmakers and studios in the mix to take on Leatherface’s next chapter. Modern horror master Jordan Peeele, among others, are on the list.

Dan Trachtenberg has cemented himself as the man who has helped to reinvent Predator for a new generation. First, he made 2022’s much-beloved prequel Prey. Now, he’s back with an animated anthology streaming on Hulu in the form of Predator: Killer of Killers. Co-directed with Josh Wassung, this brings the famed alien hunter to life in animated form across multiple time periods. Making that happen required some help, as Trachtenberg was busy prepping the live-action Predator: Badlands.

It appears there may be a new cinematic universe brewing at Disney, one that doesn’t have Marvel attached to it. The studio is currently in the midst of releasing new movies in both the Alien and Predator franchises. Fede Alvarez is getting ready to make a sequel to Alien: Romulus, while Dan Trachtenberg is delivering not one but two different Predator movies this year as follow-ups to his much beloved 2022 entry in the series, Prey. Trachtenberg may be up to something a bit more there though.

Well, well, well, if it isn’t director Fede Alvarez putting together another Alien movie without us even noticing. In fairness, it was confirmed late last year that a sequel to Alien: Romulus was in development at Disney’s 20th Century Studios. So it’s not a total secret, but we haven’t heard much, officially speaking, since the initial announcement was made. Now though, we have word from Alvarez directly that things are moving right along, with filming on the sequel set to begin surprisingly soon.

Writer Alex Russell is taking talents he honed creating anxiety-inducing dramedy on The Bear and Beef and bringing them to the horror sphere for his new film. MUBI just dropped the trailer for Lurker, his directorial debut about what happens when a cult of personality becomes just that: a cult with entirely too much influence. Written and directed by Russell, Lurker stars Théodore Pellerin, Archie Madekwe, Sunny Suljic, Havana Rose Liu, Zack Fox, and Daniel Zolghadri.
