Morning SpoilersIf there’s news about upcoming movies and television you’re not supposed to know, you’ll find it in here.  

Zack Snyder’s upcoming Netflix zombie film sets its cast. Guillermo del Toro debunks a wild Disney rumor. Quentin Tarantino ponders if his R-Rated Star Trek film should really be his final project. Plus, a new look at the Batman: Hush animated adaptation, and the return of Rocko’s Modern Life. To me, my spoilers!

Army of the Dead

THR reports Garrett Dillahunt, Hiroyuki Sanada, Omari Hardwick, Raúl Castillo, Chris D’Elia, Nora Arnezeder, Matthias Schweighöfer, Samantha Win, and Rich Cetrone have joined the cast of Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead as filming begins in Mexico.


Atlantis: The Lost Empire

No, Guillermo del Toro is not directing a live-action remake of Disney’s Atlantis. The director lambasted the “exclusive” report from the notoriously unreliable We Got This Covered which also scurrilously suggested Tom Holland is Disney’s top choice to play Milo Thatch.


Critters Attack!

Despite being credited as “Aunt Dee,” Dee Wallace has confirmed to Birth.Movies.Death her character in Critters Attack! is indeed Helen Brown, the same one she played in the 1986 original.

She’s supposed to be the same character, even though they call her ‘Aunt Dee’ now—how original! All my family’s gone; they’ve killed all my family, and I’ve become this bad-ass bounty hunter. When I asked Bobby Miller, the director, that’s what he told me: ‘This is the backstory…’ I said, ‘Well, I’m glad I asked, because none of that happened in the original film.’ It’s just an assumption. I also think they had some kind of legal problems using the same name or the same character—I’m not sure. But anyway, I’m Aunt Dee now, and I’m one tough broad, baby!


The Invisible Man

Production has officially begun on Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man starring The Haunting of Hill House’s Oliver Jackson-Cohen.


Quentin Tarantino’s Star Trek

Meanwhile, Quentin Tarantino revealed to Cinema Blend he has reservations about making Star Trek his tenth and final movie before retirement.

I guess I do have a loophole, [if] the idea was to throw a loophole into it. Which would be [to go], ‘Uhhh, I guess Star Trek doesn’t count. I can do Star Trek … but naturally I would end on an original.’ But the idea of doing 10 isn’t to come up with a loophole. I actually think, if I was going to do Star Trek, I should commit to it. It’s my last movie. There should be nothing left handed about it. I don’t know if I’m going to do that, but that might happen.
