HULU — The Nine Realms — Snipes n Snarfblatts

It really is looking like the darker things in the Marvel Universe will be heading to HULU. Variety reported Ghost Rider & Hellstrom have now been greenlit. Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel Television, will executive produce both shows. This Ghost Rider will be the Robbie Reyes version we got a sample of from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, but if I was hearing Campea correctly he had heard there's no correlation. As Ghst Rider goes, Robbie's consumed by hellfire and bound to a demon. Living on the Texas/Mexico border, Robbie brings vengeance for the innocents, but struggles to control the power he wields. Unlike the most known Riders though, this Ghost Rider's vehicle of choice is a car. Ingrid Escajeda will serve as showrunner and executive producer, with Paul Zbyszewski also executive producing. We'll also be getting Helstrom, where Daimon and Ana Helstrom are the son and daughter of a mysterious and powerful serial killer. The siblings track down the terrorizing worst of humanity, each with their attitude and skills. Zbyszewski will serve as showrunner and executive producer. Personally, I totally feel like this will build into some version of the Midnight Sons. One of my favorite of the darker storylines growing up. Can't wait to see what else keeps popping up on HULU if these do well. Could this be where Moon Knight & Blade wind up? It does seem like the more adult natured things are being thrown here, but only time will tell. What do y'all think? Excited for these two? Any ideas what might come next?

Marvel's Runaways is set to hit HULU on November 21st, & I can't wait after this preview. Here you get a small taste of the groups power set, & holy crap someone is going to turn into a dinosaur! I'm so in for this show, I wouldn't be surprised if I watched the whole thing in a couple days. Watch out Netflix, because this show looks all kind of awesome without the grittiness of the Netflix lineup. Not that that's a good or bad thing, I love the Netflix shows, but I'm betting this will open up the series to a wider array of younger fans. Anyway, I can't wait for this show to start. If you're on the other side of that coin, watch this preview & then let me know what you think. Put it in the comments, like, & share.

Michelle Rejwan Now Senior VP Live Action Development And Production For Lucasfilm

Hollywood Reporter reports Michelle Rejwan is now the Senior VP of Live Action Development & Production. She will oversee new feature films as well Disney+ series while still producing with president Kathleen Kennedy. That seems like a hefty responsibility to drop on someone who's previous credits at Lucasfilm are producing The Force Awakens & The Rise of Skywalker. Kennedy really sees something in her though, having “seen first-hand her skills collaborating with writers and directors, and I've been incredibly impressed with her creative skills and her ability to manage the complexity surrounding these massive projects.” Can she be the Feige of Star Wars? Time will tell. After the hate Kennedy got from the last installment, which I loved by the way, one could think this is just to give her a scapegoat if things don't go as well over the next few projects. Curious to see how much influence this winds up having as a whole. What do y'all think? Trust in Kennedy? Or do you think maybe a more vetted choice would have been better?

Disney Reveals Name of Tokyo DisneySea's 8th Port

After breaking ground in what is to become Tokyo DisneySea's 8th port, we now have its official name. Fantasy Springs will be the title, but that's not all Dismey released on the subject. They also released some beautiful day & night concept art depicting the look of the new lands. Oriental land is investing 250 Billion Yen on this project that will feature lands themed to Frozen, Tangled, & Peter Pan. Frozen's land of post film Arendelle will feature an attraction that tells the story of Elsa and her beloved sister, Anna. Sounding like the familiar Epcot ride, suests will board boats and experience the sisters’ heartfelt journey, enjoying songs from the film, and encountering surprising thrills. There will also be a restaurant set inside the beautiful Arendelle Castle. Tangled's land will naturally feature Rapunzel’s tower rising above the forest. It will also include an boat attraction where guests will board gondolas for a romantic boat tour of Rapunzel’s “Best Day Ever” as she journeys with Flynn to the lantern festival. Flickering lanterns illuminate the attraction’s climactic scene while Rapunzel and Flynn sing an iconic song from the film. The pand will also feature a restaurant, inspired by the hideout of the band of thugs who appeared in the film in the "I've Got A Dream" sequence. Neverland will also be home to two attractions and a restaurant. Featuring landmarks including verdant mountains, Captain Hook’s pirate ship and Skull Rock. One attraction will fly over the jungles of Neverland into a battle with Captain Hook and his crew of pirates to rescue Wendy’s younger brother, John, who has been kidnapped by Captain Hook and his pirates. You'll board boats and follow the Lost Boys down a river until Tinker Bell sprinkles the boats with pixie dust, & you take off flying through Neverland on an adventure that featuring iconic music and dynamic 3D imagery of the characters from the film. The second attraction immerses us in the oversized world of Pixie Hollow, while the restaurant is inspired by the Lost Boys and their hideout. There will also be a new Disney Hllyel in the park. Themed to Disney fantasy, it will rise above and around the magical springs that serve as the core of the new themed port’s story. Offering 475 deluxe-type and luxury-type guest rooms, this park facing hotel will also feature a merchandise shop that helps share the story of the magical springs. One day I'll make it out here to see all the amazingly beautiful things TokyoSea has to offer. Luckily, I have one more reason to postpone that adventure until this amazing new addition is done.
