Feast's Patrick Osborne Tapped To Direct Paramount's Battling Boy Adaptation

Held each spring in New Orleans, Louisiana, The Overlook Film Festival speaks not only to the creative marketing potential behind scary movies — but the very soul of community-focused filmmaking.

Now the real fight begins, with IATSE tentatively scheduled to restart general negotiations April 29 to run through May 16.

Boy Kills World hits theaters today, April 26, and audiences are in for a treat. It's a frequently surprising and jolting rush of action and comedy with inventive visuals and unexpected twists, grounded by a silent but extremely emotive and physical performance from Bill Skarsgrd. He's like Buster Keaton on steroids here as Boy, a beefy fighter who has trained for vengeance ever since the totalitarian rulers of his dystopic city murdered his family and made him deaf and mute.

The trend of Hollywood studios banking on the popularity of classic horror movies to rake in the cash continues, as it was recently announced that the 1968 classic Rosemarys Baby is getting a prequel. Titled Apartment 7A, the film was first teased in 2022, and is set to debut in time for Halloween on Paramount+, similar to the way Pet Sematary: Bloodlines did in 2023.
