Transformers One, Part II
In conversation with Screen Rant, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura confirmed there are already plans for a sequel to the new Transformers prequel.
Number one, if we’re successful with this movie, we’re going to do a sequel for this. And we already have, I think, the beginnings of a really interesting story for the second one, which is also character-based, the way the first [is].
Operation Blood Hunt
A Special Forces team discover werewolves are responsible for their missing quarry on a remote Pacific island in the trailer for Operation Blood Huntstarring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Quinton Rampage Jackson Louis Mandylor, and Sonia Couling.
Harley Quinn
In a new interview with Comic Book, co-executive producer Patrick Schumacker confirmed the fifth season of Harley Quinn is set in Metropolis.
You’ll see Harley Season 5, hopefully soon. We don’t have the exact air date so there’s that to look forward to which continues sort of the story of Harley and Ivy’s relationship. I could tease that there’s a big sort of location move. There’s been a teaser that’s been presented at Comic-Con so I don’t think I’m saying anything out of school when I say a lot of the show this season five takes place in Metropolis. Harley and Ivy decide to spice their relationship up with a change of scenery.
According to co-executive producer Justin Halpern, Gotham City is “subsidized for Metropolis’s gain.”
I can say we were very interested in the idea that Metropolis is always this like, beautiful shining city on the hill and Gotham just is, you know, a cesspool and that it almost feels like Gotham is subsidized for Metropolis’s gain. So, we were interested in that idea.
