Camp Crystal Lake hasn’t been this busy in decades, yet, ironically, the waters are calm and there’s no killer stalking the grounds. When news came that Crystal Lake – an “expanded prequel” set to air on Peacock – was looking to be on the chopping block, fans of the Friday the 13th series saw a missed opportunity from A24 and Peacock to revive the long-dormant franchise. And while Crystal Lake may still be moving forward in some capacity, it has lost a key member of the team: producer Bryan Fuller. That’s a major blow for sure, and one that some prominent names in horror aren’t happy about.
Responding to Bryan Fuller’s announcement over just where he stood with Crystal Lake, Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer screenwriter wrote, “Bummin’ hard, so sorry I won’t be a part of what would have been an epic Bryan Fuller show.

The horror genre recently received a positive uptick in Hollywood thanks to Sydney Sweeney and her Immaculate outing. However, on the other side of the coin, disappointment followed with a much-anticipated project, Friday the 13th: The Series, losing its prized writer. The prequel series has already generated sufficient hype and hope because of its overarching legacy that goes back decades and consists of twelve slasher films.

As horror fans mourn the exit of Bryan Fuller from a “Friday the 13th” TV series in the works at Peacock from producers A24, new details about Fuller’s take on the material are starting to emerge. According to filmmaker Vincenzo Natali, who said on X he read the first two scripts, the show reinvented the iconic franchise much the same way Fuller put his spin on Hannibal Lecter for his acclaimed three-season “Hannibal” series.
“Bryan Fuller’s Crystal Lake was well on its way to becoming another Hannibal-level reinvention that was simultaneously beautiful, sad, poetic, funny and horrifying. I mourn its passing,” the “Splice” director said.
“Scream” writer Kevin Williamson, who was working on “Crystal Lake” with Fuller, also took to X to share details about Fuller’s vision, teasing an hour-long chase episode and a story that centered the grief of Jason Voorhees’ mother.

Death, taxes, and longtime television showrunner Bryan Fuller parting ways with a project he was once involved in. There are only a few constants in life and, well, tax season is over and we're still here talking ... so feel free to take a wild guess about what just happened!
Horror fans are painfully aware of just how much trouble the "Friday the 13th" franchise has had in recent years. Mired for years in a complicated lawsuit between original screenwriter Victor Miller and director Sean Cunningham, the legal proceedings effectively put an end to any thought of continuing the beloved slasher series for the last decade and a half. Still, one glimmer of hope for Jason Voorhees appreciators -- not that any of us would ever condone the serial killer's actions, of course -- has been the development of a new prequel series titled "Crystal Lake," with Fuller attached as the...

Bryan Fuller has dramatically quit as showrunner on A24’s Friday The 13th prequel series Crystal Lake, citing creative differences.
Bryan Fuller, previously known for hit TV series Hannibal, has quit his role as showrunner on A24’s upcoming Friday The 13th prequel show, Crystal Lake.
Fuller made the announcement in an Instagram post, in which he stated that “A24 has elected to go a different direction with the material.”
“Adapting classic horror is something I have some experience with,” Fuller wrote, as shared by TheWrap. “These shows require a vision that elevates and transforms, as well as delivers what audiences have come to expect, which is an ambitious and risky endeavour. It requires people to take the leap with me.”
Fuller then sought to remind his followers of his previous success with Hannibal, which served as a prequel to the likes of Michael Mann’s Manhunter and Jonathan Demme’s Silence Of The Lambs.

There’s a real-life Bridgerton wedding in our midst! Phoebe Dynevor, who plays the beloved Daphne Bridgerton in the Netflix series, is reportedly engaged to actor Cameron Fuller, E! News reports. TV Insider has reached out to Dynevor’s team for comment. Dynevor dazzled at the 2024 Met Gala on May 6 and sported a large diamond ring on her ring finger. The Fair Play star stepped out in a gorgeous pink gown and became the first person to wear Victoria Beckham‘s line to the fashion event. Dynevor and Fuller have kept their romance mostly out of the public eye. However, they made an appearance together at the Wimbledon tennis tournament in 2023. In February 2024, the couple stepped out together at the BAFTAs. Dynevor was one of the nominees for the Ee Rising Star Award at the ceremony. Fuller is best known for his role as Asw Wright in the TNT series The Last Ship.

The Enterprise-c has returned! Again!
According to a Variety report about the future of the Star Trek franchise, the upcoming Section 31 movie will feature Kacey Rohl as a “young” Rachel Garrett, presumably before she became the captain of the Enterprise-c. It’s a surprising but exciting turn of events, to be sure, since Garrett has only appeared in a single episode of Star Trek, leaving much of her history yet to be explored. In fact, digging into more of Garrett’s story would be a way to unlock a piece of Star Trek captain lore that’s long been missing despite the Enterprise-c’s introduction over 30 years ago.
Fans first met an older Garrett (Tricia O’Neil) and the Enterprise-c in the season three Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise.” When that episode aired in February 1990, the arrival of the Enterprise-c addressed a question that had lingered since...

John Carpenter’s illustrious catalog of horror and non-horror classics has already seen three remakes, with at least one more kinda-sorta confirmed on the way (Escape from New York). If you consider 2011’s The Thing enough of a remake, notch another on the bedpost. It makes sense; Carpenter turned his no-bullshit attitude into a masterful filmmaking style, and those listed titles harbor nostalgic admiration. We’re probably closer than we think to seeing Bryan Fuller’s Christine remake for Blumhouse or a contemporary They Live, while Dwayne Johnson’s Big Trouble in Little China sequel project fades away. Imagine Julia Ducournau’s Christine should Fuller exit, or what about if James Gunn booked a brief horror vacation away from the Dceu for his take on They Live?
Carpenter’s brand of down-and-dirty storytelling mixed with societal commentaries make his works perfect for generational updates, but they can’t all be winners.

There’s an infamous anecdote about a scientist who was presenting a lecture on how earth and other celestial bodies orbit around larger bodies. When he finished the lecture, an old lady supposedly stood up and claimed that the scientist was wrong because the world wasn’t floating in outer space but was in fact supported on the back of a giant turtle. When asked what was supporting the turtle, the old lady replied: “it’s turtles all the way down.”
While this story is often used to explain the concept of an infinite regress, it’s also a great example of how the simulation hypothesis – the idea that the universe as we know it is a kind of virtual reality – is actually much older than the modern concept of computers.

Exclusive: Fox Entertainment has given an early Season 3 pickup to its workplace comedy Animal Control a month before the single-camera series starring Joel McHale is set to premiere its second season on March 6, paired with Family Guy.
Animal Control is Fox’s first fully owned live-action comedy — and only current live-action series — which is giving the company flexibility on renewal decisions. The comedy, which scored a record streaming debut for Fox, has lined up international sales in key English-language territories, including UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, bringing revenue for the company. (The network’s roster of fully owned scripted series also includes animated comedy Krapopolis.)
After seeing Season 2’s creative direction, including finished episodes, the Fox brass felt confident about ordering another season, which will be shot after a break following Season 2 wrap to accommodate talent schedules.

Every few months, someone seems to ask either the show’s creator Bryan Fuller or series star Mads Mikkelsen what’s going on with their hoped-for revival of Hannibal. Eight years have gone by since NBC cancelled the television series, which was inspired by characters in novels by Thomas Harris, after its third season, but Fuller, Mikkelsen, and fellow star Hugh Dancy have always let it be known that they’re hoping to reunite to make a fourth season at a new home. Eight months ago, Mikkelsen said, “It’s all about finding a home for it. Of course, we’re running out of time. We can’t wait twenty years, but in the next couple of years, if somebody finds a home, I think we’re all ready to take it up again.” Now, during an interview with Business Insider, Mikkelsen has given an update, saying there’s still...

Mads Mikkelsen is still looking to reprise his beloved character of Dr. Hannibal Lecter with a “Hannibal” reboot.
The Danish actor had an update for Business Insider over how, almost 10 years since the cancelation of the NBC thriller series, he and creator Bryan Fuller are still in talks to reboot the series. “Hannibal” served as an episodic prequel to “Silence of the Lambs,” with Mikkelsen portraying the cannibal serial killer originally played by Anthony Hopkins in the Oscar-winning film. “Hannibal” co-starred Hugh Dancy and was canceled in 2015 after three seasons.
“I really don’t want to go back to any of my characters, except maybe for Hannibal because he’s not over yet,” Mikkelsen said. “It’s no secret that all of us who were part of the cast and Bryan, we all want to go back. It’s got to happen eventually sooner than later because we’re not getting any younger,...

The episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? covering The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) was Written by Cody Hamman, Narrated by Adam Walton, Edited by Juan Jimenez, Produced by Andrew Hatfield and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
In 1974, director Tobe Hooper brought us The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. An independent production, shot in the heat of a Texas summer, that introduced us to a chainsaw-wielding cannibal called Leatherface. And his twisted family. It was a box office hit. And quickly became one of the most popular and respected horror films of all time. So, of course, there was eventually a remake. Produced by one of the biggest, flashiest filmmakers in the industry. Directed by a music video director in his feature debut. Starring an actress from a family friendly TV show. It sounds like a recipe for disaster. But when the remake was released in 2003, it was another success story.

Dolores Fuller was an actor who had a relationship with Ed Wood, the director of Plan 9 from Outer Space. That film is widely considered one of the worst movies ever made, though it has a strong cult following among people who like camp classics. Fuller appeared in secondary roles in some of Wood’s films, such as Glen or Glenda and Bride of the Monster.

The Holidays are supposed to be the time to relax with loved ones, but Fellow Travelers Season 1 Episode 4 proves that Christmas and the festivities that come with it rarely hold up to what you envision in anticipation of the big event.
Beginning the hour with a man walking into oncoming traffic after likely having his whole career thrown away because of suspicions about his sexuality was a choice. Still, as heartbreaking as it was, it underpinned the urgency of Hawk's plight.
Hawk has largely lived how he sees fit, sleeping with who he wants and facing zero consequences.
It wasn't too long ago he was called bulletproof because of his close ties to Senator Smith, but there's an immediate sense of dread in Hawk when he finds the letter summoning him for an interview.

Ron Nyswaner, the executive producer and writer of the Showtime limited series Fellow Travelers, says that he feared there were three strikes against getting it made: “It’s period, it’s political and it’s gay.”
At a recent Washington, D.C. screening, though, he summed up some of the initial reaction to the completed project: “They love that it is period, that it is political and that it is gay.”
The eight-part Fellow Travelers, based on the book by Thomas Mallon, centers on the romance between the extroverted State Department official and cynical war hero “Hawk” Fuller, played by Matt Bomer, and idealistic aspiring Senate aide Tim Laughlin, played by Jonathan Bailey, a relationship that started during the McCarthy era of the 1950s and extends to the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.

The broad beats of a courtroom drama are simple and finite; any procedural fan would know. And French film “Anatomy of a Fall” has everything you would expect from a taut crime thriller: a mystery that runs deeper than our initial understanding, cops trying to prove different theories, warring lawyers in the courtroom, a piece of new evidence that throws the case into confusion, a major scene on the witness stand. But the film does not approach those moments in an expected fashion, neither emotionally nor formally. Director Justine Triet is more interested in pushing back on genre tropes wherever she can to create a messier, but more involving, picture of the many narratives we use to explain a fall.
The titular fall — and possible murder — is of frustrated writer and stay-at-home dad Samuel (Samuel Theis). The main suspect is his wife, a successful author named Sandra (Sandra Hüller). “Anatomy of a Fall...

Last November, it was announced that Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller would be developing a Friday the 13th series called Crystal Lake for A24 and the Peacock streaming service. The lengthy writers strike slowed down the progress of the show – but now that the strike is over, Crystal Lake is probably getting back on track, and since Friday the 13th has come back around on the calendar, we thought this would be a good time for us to share Everything We Know About Crystal Lake!

Sam Wineman, a producer on the series about the history of LGBTQ characters and actors in horror movies, claimed that from 2020 to 2022, Fuller “cultivated and maintained a hostile work environment” that included “harassment, discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault and retaliation.”
In Wineman’s suit, which filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court, he alleged that “Mr. Fuller sexually assaulted plaintiff several times” throughout the production of the series. AMC Networks, its horror streaming site Shudder and Steakhaus Productions are also named in the suit, which was filed by Good Gustafson Aumais Llp of Los Angeles.

Producer and showrunner Bryan Fuller, known for creating Hannibal and American Gods, has been sued for alleged sexual assault and harassment in a lawsuit that accuses AMC Networks, Shudder and Steakhaus Productions of ignoring and facilitating a hostile work environment on the set of Queer for Fear.
Series producer Samuel Wineman filed on Wednesday a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against the producers of the Shudder original, alleging they knew about “Fuller’s acts of and propensity to commit acts of discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and retaliation” but “failed to take immediate and appropriate corrective action.”
An AMC spokesperson said the company is reviewing the complaint. Fuller, Shudder and Steakhaus Productions didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Sam Wineman, a producer and director on Shudder’s fall 2022 Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror docuseries, has filed a lawsuit that names AMC Networks, Shudder, executive producer Bryan Fuller and others as defendants, and alleges, among other things, quid pro quo sexual harassment (by Fuller), intentional infliction of emotional distress, and the cultivation of a hostile work environment.
Fuller’s lawyer, in response, characterized Wineman’s complaint as a “fictitious story” and promised that a defamation lawsuit will be headed Wineman’s way.

Bryan Fuller, the creator of shows including “Hannibal” and “American Gods,” was accused in a lawsuit on Wednesday of sexually harassing a fellow producer on an AMC docuseries about queer horror.
Fuller is accused of making constant references to masturbation, engaging in casual bullying, and creating a hostile work environment. The plaintiff, Sam Wineman, alleges that Fuller also repeatedly held him from behind to “crack his back,” during which he would press his penis against Wineman’s buttocks.
Fuller and Wineman are both gay. They worked together on the series “Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror,” a four-part docuseries that was released on AMC’s Shudder streaming service in 2022.
Wineman alleges that he was removed from the project in August 2021, about four weeks after complaining about Fuller’s conduct.
According to the suit, Fuller made numerous references to his penis, talked about which reading material gave him erections,...

While it’s hard not to pick favorites, there’s no such thing as a definitive version of a story. Sure, some retellings are bound to be more popular than others, but there’s nothing necessarily wrong with updating a compelling idea for a new audience. That being said, it’s quite rare for a new version of an established intellectual property to stand on its own merits, with most remakes and adaptations being content with simply rehashing the things that made their predecessors successful instead of finding a new angle from which to tell an original story.
In television, this means that we’ve seen plenty of forgettable shows based on existing franchises, with everything from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off to Clueless spawning soulless spin-offs meant to capitalize on brand awareness. And when it comes to horror, the situation was even more dire before the genre renaissance of the mid 2010s,...

Two years ago it was announced that Stephen King‘s killer car Christine would be coming back to life with Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal”) directing the new take for Blumhouse& Sony. Of course, original director John Carpenter has thoughts on this, revealed today in an interview with Total Film.
Christine is one of three Stephen King adaptations turning 40 in 2023, and Total Film spoke with Carpenter and original star Keith Gordon about the film’s momentous anniversary in their latest issue.
“I know there’s some rumblings about its anniversary. My question is ‘why’?” Carpenter cracked when speaking with the publication.
Total Film asked his thoughts about Fuller’s pending remake, and his answer was surprising: “Oh boy,” Carpenter says. “Well, good luck to him. It will probably be better.”
Carpenter wasn’t the only one who offered encouragement.

Glamorous star Miss Benny took to TikTok this week to open up about her time working on Netflix's Fuller House, and it sounds like it wasn't the best experience.
Miss Benny played Casey in two episodes of the Full House revival as Casey, a friend of Kimmy's daughter, Ramona.
"One of the Tanner sisters is, like, very publicly not for the girls, if that makes sense," Miss Benny shared on the social media platform, recalling that the cast member tried to get her character removed.
While Miss Benny never mentions Candace Cameron Bure by name, the actress' name was hashtagged in the video.
"I remember I got sat down by the writers and the studio to basically warn me how this person allegedly was trying to get the character removed and not have a queer character on the show."

Last November, it was announced that Hannibal TV series creator Bryan Fuller would be re-teaming with Hannibal himself, Mads Mikkelsen, for a family-oriented horror project Dust Bunny. Soon after, we learned that Fuller was also working on a Friday the 13th TV series called Crystal Lake for franchise rights holders Victor Miller and Rob Barsamian (plus Miller’s lawyer Marc Toberoff), A24, and the Peacock streaming service. And while Crystal Lake is currently at a standstill because of the writers strike, the strike hasn’t had any effect on Dust Bunny. Fuller shared a picture of himself and Mikkelsen to celebrate the fact that they’re “back in the saddle” together. You can take a look at the image in the embed at the bottom of this article.

As we learned last year, “Hannibal” creator Bryan Fuller and star Mads Mikkelsen are reteaming for Thunder Road’s horror movie Dust Bunny, and filming is underway.
“Back in the saddle with this guy,” Fuller tweeted out this week, sharing a photo of he and “Hannibal” star Mads Mikkelsen on the set of the upcoming Dust Bunny.
Check out Fuller’s social media post below, while we wait for more.
Dust Bunny will tell the story of an eight-year-old girl who enlists the help of her intriguing neighbor to kill the monster under her bed that she believes ate her family.
The film is being described as a “throwback to the family horror films of the 80s.”
Entertainment One and Thunder Road will co-produce with Fuller, who is writing, directing and producing alongside Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee.

A Friday the 13th TV series called Crystal Lake is coming our way from Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller, Friday the 13th franchise rights holders Victor Miller and Rob Barsamian (plus Miller’s lawyer Marc Toberoff), A24, and the Peacock streaming service. Unfortunately, any progress the show was making has been put on hold during the writers strike – but earlier this year, Fuller assembled a writers room that spent six weeks brainstorming ideas and breaking down the scripts that will make up the first season of the series. Two of the writers in that room were author Tananarive Due, who has written multiple novels over the last thirty years and executive produced Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror, and her husband Steven Barnes, who is also an author and has also contributed scripts to shows like Stargate Sg-1, The Outer Limits, and the ’80s version of The Twilight Zone.

Mads Mikkelsen is still allowing for the possibility of playing Hannibal‘s ravenous Dr. Lecter again, though if too much more time passes, the outlook might be officially overcooked.
“There’s always a chance” for more of the NBC series than spanned three seasons and ended in August 2015, Mikkelsen told our sister site Deadline on the red carpet for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (in which he plays a villain, duh). “There’s always a chance.

Almost eight years have gone by since NBC cancelled the television series Hannibal, which was created by Bryan Fuller and inspired by characters in novels by Thomas Harris, after its third season. Ever since, Fuller and stars Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy have been joining fans in hoping that Hannibal will be able to continue on some other network or streaming service someday. Talking to Deadline while on the red carpet for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Mikkelsen said there’s still a chance that a Hannibal revival will happen… but they’re running out of time.
Asked if there’s ever any chance he’d play Hannibal again, Mikkelsen told Deadline, “Always a chance. There’s always a chance. It’s all about finding a home for it. Of course, we’re running out of time. We can’t wait twenty years, but in the next couple of years,...

We still have no idea whether or not Bryan Fuller‘s brilliant but short-lived NBC series “Hannibal” is ever going to find new life elsewhere, but it remains a future possibility that both Fuller and star Mads Mikkelsen are more than happy to imagine and talk about. In fact, Mikkelsen just made fresh comments on the potential future of “Hannibal” this week.
While on the red carpet for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Mikkelsen was asked about the return of “Hannibal,” and his answer once again suggested that he’s still very much hungry to bite back into the iconic role. The problem? The show is without a home.

The copyright lawsuit between original Friday the 13th producer/director Sean S. Cunningham and screenwriter Victor Miller brought a stop to any further content being added to the Friday the 13th video game that came from IllFonic and Gun Media and was released in 2017 – which is a shame, because I love that game and have spent hundreds of hours playing it. To me, that was the perfect video game to go with the Friday the 13th franchise. But now that the copyright lawsuit has come to an end, franchise composer Harry Manfredini has revealed that a new video game is in development!

Of the many feelings I have about Night Court Season 1 Episode 16, the overriding one is respect.
Despite the admittedly predictable Rand-to-the-rescue and Olivia-wears-the-white-hat solutions to their predicament, they manage to surprise us by subverting the expectation that Dan would stay.
It leaves us wondering mightily what Season 2 might hold in store, and that, my friends, is the sign of a spectacular season finale.
The relationship between Dan and Abby has always been central to this revival.
Whether he's a stand-in for Harry or she's the light to draw him out of his widower's hermitage, they've poked and prodded each other's egos and blind spots with truth bombs until they've become dependent on that regular dose of grump/cheer.
But, as we see here, they haven't grown close enough to take each other for granted or to presume that the other feels as they do.
I'm also mystified why...

At first blush, “Hannibal” looks like the conceptual twin of CBS timeslot rival “Elementary,” a series that seeks to leverage a brilliant literary character to sell a moody procedural. It’s also a little like “It Takes a Thief,” only here substituting a serial killer. Stick with the series through a handful of episodes, though, and it’s clear that showrunner Bryan Fuller has brought a semi-hypnotic quality to this prequel adaptation of Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter character — ungainly and messy, but at times visually arresting, and thanks in large part to the central trio of Mads Mikkelsen, Hugh Dancy and Laurence Fishburne, quite interesting. Bon appetit.
