Benedict Cumberbatch on His Doctor Strange 2 Filming Excitement and Anxiety

Doctor Strange and Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch has shared details of the unique situation he found himself in as the world first got caught in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year. The 44-year-old actor was reportedly in the midst of filming an ad for a new diving watch on a New Zealand island with a population of just 21 people – and apparently got trapped there. “There are no shops or any kind of logistical support, so it’s a pretty rare breed of person that lives there that’s really in tune with nature. It’s kind of magical…

The Umbrella Academy Season 3 Will Reportedly Begin Filming Next Year

Through two seasons, Netflix superhero team The Umbrella Academy hasn’t had terribly good luck in averting the apocalypse. Maybe the third time’s the charm. Netflix has not yet confirmed the existence of The Umbrella Academy season 3 but according to a new report from Production Weekly, filming on a new season is set to begin on February 1, 2021 before wrapping up in August. That puts the third season on track for a potential mid-2022 release. In lieu of an official Netflix announcement, a Production Weekly post is the next best thing as the subscription-based trade exhaustively tracks all upcoming…

Loki Season 2 on the Cards at Marvel as Filming Start Date Reportedly Set

A new report from Production Weekly, which keeps steady tabs on the industry’s future filming plans, has revealed that Disney+ and Marvel are eyeing a January, 2022 production start date for Loki Season 2. “Season 2…?” you may well ask. “That’s the first I’ve heard of it.” Yes, indeed. It appears that Loki isn’t a limited series for Disney’s booming streaming service, and that Tom Hiddleston will reprise his fan favorite role as Thor’s unscrupulous brother – he’s adopted – for another batch of episodes after Season 1 has eventually debuted. If that 2022 filming date holds, we could see…

Outlander Star Sam Heughan on Season 6 Filming and James Bond Prospects

The events of 2020 have likely forced another Droughtlander on fans who have been treated to a steady supply of Starz’s popular period drama series for quite some time, but it looks like Outlander Season 6 is slowly gearing up to start filming amid new safety guidelines. In a new interview with Stellar Magazine star Sam Heughan, who has played Jamie Fraser on the show since 2014, has been talking about why he thinks Outlander continues to resonate with its fans, citing the pure central relationship between his thoughtful and occasionally rebellious character and Caitriona Balfe’s strong-minded former World War…

The Falcon and The Winter Solider Star Describes “Awful” Filming Conditions

Anthony Mackie has described the latest leg of production on Disney+ and Marvel‘s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as “awful.” The highly-anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe spinoff is set to reunite Mackie’s confident hero Falcon and Sebastian Stan’s often-brutal and psychologically damaged Winter Solider, as the pair are forced into a begrudging team-up against foes new and old. The project had almost finished filming at the start of the year before the depressing events of 2020 delayed its shoot. Now, the pair are back in Prague to film the final scenes on the series, but progress has been naturally slow-going…

The Walking Dead Season 11 to Begin Filming in October

For the first time since the show debuted in 2010, The Walking Dead will miss its usual October premiere date. Delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have forced AMC to push back the premiere of The Walking Dead season 11 to 2021.

At the moment, it’s unclear what exactly those six new episodes will be about, although the fact that they’re a continuation of the season suggests that…

New Taskmaster Now Filming: How Covid-19 Will Change Series 10

Absurdly fun comedy show Taskmaster, in which comedians are set and awarded points for completing a series of brilliantly nonsensical challenges, is a tonic for heart-heaviness. It is joyful nonsense and precisely the cleanse required for those occasions when the real world gets a bit much. Watched the news? Dismayed by Twitter? Let Noel Fielding disguised as a banana make it all better. Series 10 is currently filming and being readied for its new home on Channel 4 following last year’s move from Dave. Den of Geek chatted to the Taskmaster and Little Alex Horne to find out how social…

War of the Worlds Season 2 Filming Now

Eerie, desolate sci-fi series War of the Worlds aired in France in late 2019 and earlier this year in the US and UK. Less an adaptation of the titular H.G. Wells novel than a contemporary riff on the alien invasion thriller by creator Howard Overman (Crazyhead, Misfits), it resolutely ploughed its own furrow. Moody, atmospheric, bleak and emotional, it swapped red weed, tripods and heat rays for a grief-soaked meditation on family and survival… with terrifying alien robot sniper dogs. The series’ second run commission has been an open secret for months, but the official stamp was announced this weekend,…

Avatar 2 to Resume Filming as Plot Details Confirmed

A small Avatar 2 crew is heading back to New Zealand to complete filming on the first sequel to James Cameron’s 2009 box office smash. They will reportedly enter a two-week quarantine period before production restarts on the long-in-gestation movie. Producer Jon Landau confirmed the move in a new interview with RNZ, where he explained that the country’s excellent response to the COVID-19 pandemic has allowed work on Avatar 2 to resume more quickly than on other projects. “We feel very comfortable because of the actions of [the NZ] government and also the responsibility the people took to really curb…

The Matrix 4 Filming Delayed Due to Coronavirus Concerns

The Matrix 4 has temporarily shut down production due to the coronavirus pandemic that’s put much of the movie industry on hold in the past few weeks. The movie, a surprise sequel to the trilogy of cyberpunk action movies starring Keanu Reeves, was shooting in Berlin when Warner Bros. decided to postpone production. According to Deadline, no one in the cast or crew has tested positive for the infection, so this is just a precautionary measure by the studio, which has also closed down production for The Batman, Fantastic Beasts 3, King Richard, and Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley movie. WB…
