Locke & Key Creators Reveal More Comics on the Way

At the Locke & Key: Season 1 premiere fan event in Los Angeles, author Joe Hill, and illustrator Gabriel Rodriguez revealed that there are more comics on the way. While Hill and Rodriguez already announced plans for a new Locke & Key six-volume series, titled World War Key, back at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019, the creators teased another comic that they're going to announce soon. "And then we have another thing that we're doing, that we're really excited about," Hill told IGN. "We've been dreaming about it for years and it's been a helluva thing trying to pull it together." For a look at Locke & Key: Season 1 and everything else coming to Netflix in February 2020, check out the video below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/01/new-to-netflix-for-february-2020"] Rodriguez went on to explain how this new series will connect the original six-volume run to World War Key. "It's going to be the way we wrap the series of short stories that we've been doing in what we call the 'Golden Age' for Locke & Key, the stories of Chamberlin Locke and his family," Rodriguez said. "The book is going to be the doorway that will communicate the first Locke & Key series with World War Key. We've been discussing these ideas for four years. And we feel like this is the right time to return to this universe." Hill also shared some more details about World War Key in terms of its story. "The very first book takes place during the Revolutionary War and it's about how the magical keys won the Revolutionary War," Hill said. "And then the next book, World War Key: Resurrection, leaps forward to the modern-day, [where] we visit some favorite characters from the Locke & Key series, and we see how they're doing. And we all see the events of the Revolutionary War staining through into the present." Locke & Key: Season 1 premieres on Netflix on February 7th.

Spider-Man Director Sam Raimi May Direct Doctor Strange 2

Sam Raimi, the director behind the 2002 Spider-Man movies along with classic horror films like The Evil Dead, is in talks to director Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This would be the first superhero film Raimi directs since 2007’s Spider-Man 3. According to a report by Variety, Raimi is in talks with Marvel to replace original director Scott Derrickson on the Doctor Strange sequel. Derrickson left the project on January 9 over creative differences with Marvel on the direction of the project. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvel-phase-4-official-lineup&captions=true"] Raimi has been working on a variety of projects since wrapping up Spider-Man 3. The last feature film Raimi directed was 2013’s Oz the Great and Powerful, but he’s produced films like Don’t Breathe, Crawl, The Grudge, and a remake of Evil Dead. He also served as writer and director on Ash vs Evil Dead, a television sequel to his Evil Dead series starring Bruce Campbell as Ash. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/01/18/ash-vs-evil-dead-season-3-trailer"] Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness was described by Derrickson as Marvel’s first horror movie, and Raimi’s reputation as a director who can balance both horror and comedy would serve a Marvel horror movie project well.

Screen Legend Kirk Douglas Dead at 103

Screen legend Kirk Douglas has died at the age of 103, his family announced Wednesday. Douglas, who had been one of the last surviving stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood, is the father of Oscar-winning actor/producer Michael Douglas and father-in-law of actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. "It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103," Michael Douglas said in a statement to People magazine. “To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to." [caption id="attachment_2298477" align="alignnone" width="720"]Kirk Douglas in the 1960 epic Spartacus. Kirk Douglas in the 1960 epic Spartacus.[/caption] Born Issur Danielovitch Demsky in Amsterdam, New York, in 1916, Douglas was the son of Jewish immigrants from Russia and worked hardscrabble jobs before becoming an actor, experiences he recounted in his 1988 autobiography The Ragman's Son. Douglas also served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. With his chiseled features, famous dimpled chin, and muscular physique, Douglas starred in a variety of films throughout his six-decade-long acting career. But Douglas' most iconic roles saw him portray rebels against the system and often less than sympathetic characters. Long before his son Michael would win accolades for his turn as Wall Street's Gordon Gekko, Kirk Douglas played nasty heels in such classics as Ace in the Hole and The Bad and the Beautiful. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=hidden-gems-on-disney-plus-11-classic-movies-to-watch&captions=true"] Douglas starred in two of Stanley Kubrick's earliest films, Paths of Glory and Spartacus, and helped break the infamous Hollywood blacklist by hiring screenwriter Dalton Trumbo to script Spartacus. Douglas was also one of Hollywood's most notable humanitarians, and received the Medal of Freedom in 1981. Douglas' many iconic films include Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (where he played Doc Holliday), Lonely Are the Brave, Out of the Past, Seven Days in May, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, the boxing classic Champion, and Lust for Life (where he played painter Vincent Van Gogh). [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2011/07/22/spartacus-im-spartacus"] Douglas was also no stranger to genre films, having starred in such sci-fi films as Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Final Countdown, Saturn 3, and the horror film The Fury. Douglas' last major film role was in 2003's dramedy It Runs in the Family, opposite his son Michael Douglas and grandson Cameron.
