Fast 8: Point Break, Incredible Hulk Directors Eyed
We learned last week that Universal's hunt for a director to helm The Fast and The Furious 8 was moving at a slower pace than the studio had hoped, reportedly due to the scrutiny and demands of producer-star Vin Diesel, who is the face and caretaker of the franchise. Reports at the time suggested Diesel was considering directing the sequel himself since franchise vets Justin Lin and James Wan are unavailable.
Now Deadline reports a rumor that cinematographer-turned-director Ericson Core (Invincible, the Point Break reboot) and Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk, The Transporter, Now You See Me, Clash of the Titans) are in the running to helm Furious 8. The site's studio sources also shot down rumors that Rob Cohen, who directed the first Fast and the Furious, might return to direct the eighth installment.

Sleepy Hollow: Why is Captain Irving Gone?
Sleepy Hollow returns Thursday night for Season 3, and changes are afoot. IGN has an exclusive clip from the season premiere, as Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) is back in town after time away, and, having been reunited with Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie), sees Jenny (Lyndie Greenwood) for the first time since his return.
As most fans know, Orlando Jones' Captain Frank Irving is no longer part of Sleepy Hollow in Season 3, and in this scene, Ichabod -- and the audience -- learns what exactly happened to Irving...
In the premiere, the discovery of a mysterious tablet shows that there may be a new dark prophecy surrounding Witnesses Ichabod and Abbie. The two team together, with the help of an old amulet, in an episode called "I, Witness."
