Ethan Sacks and André Lima Araújo team up to bring you a story about the Surfer’s mysterious past.
The dark and tragic past of the SILVER SURFER…it’s all been a mystery until now. This September, the 
Surfer’s story is finally given the spotlight in SILVER SURFER ANNUAL #1, as Old Man Hawkeye writer Ethan Sacks and Thanos Annual artist André Lima Araújo bring you a tale told the Mighty Marvel Manner – with suspense, mystery, and adventure.
“When I was a kid, I used to marvel at how sleek and cool the Silver Surfer looked leaning forward on his board as he traversed the universe,” said Sacks. “So in a sense, the chance to write him is a childhood dream come true. But seeing the fantastic way André draws him, I have to confess, I don’t think he’s ever looked sleeker or cooler.”
Searching for a world that is worthy enough to satisfy Galactus, the Surfer comes across the perfect planet – but can he really doom an entire civilization to save his own? Join the cosmic journey this September, when SILVER SURFER ANNUAL #1 hits comic shops.

It looks like Warner Bros. has found its Danny Torrance, the lead in “Doctor Sleep” in the form of Ewan McGregor, as reported by Hollywood Reporter.
“Doctor Sleep” is based on the 2013 novel of the same name from author of horror Stephen King, and is the sequel to “Shining.” That film was of course adapted in the 1980 film which was directed by Stanley Kubrick, with Jack Nicholson playing the iconic character Jack Torrance.
Fans will remember that the young Danny Torrance in the landmark classic, (played by Danny Lloyd who retired from acting a few years after the film’s release) was Jack’s son with “the shining” or psychic abilities who both endangered but later saved himself and his mother Wendy, played by Shelly Duvall.
In the book, Danny who is now in his 40s, is still haunted by events at the Overlook Hotel while his psychic abilities begins to resurface.
Mike Flanagan is said to be helming the sequel, an apt selection given his recent involvement in another King novella adaptation “Gerald’s Game,” a Netflix psychological horror which he directed and wrote with Jeff Howard. Flanagan has also written and director horror films Oculus, Before I Wake and Ouija: Origin of Evil.
The director recently posted on Twitter that the movie will be in theaters in 2020.
Ewan McGregor will be seen next in “Christopher Robin,” an adaptation of Disney’s “Winnie the Pooh” scheduled for release in this summer.
Thrilled to say that DOCTOR SLEEP is moving forward! In theaters in 2020! https://t.co/99yDYphssg

The ghost story stars Domhnall Gleeson as Dr. Faraday, who is called to the dilapidated mansion Hundreds Hall to investigate some mysterious and inexplicable events. The film is based on the 2009 novel of the same name by author Sarah Waters.
Based on the director’s recent success directing “Room,” the multiple oscar nominated film (including one for Brie Larson’s as female lead), the The Little Stranger could be another winner. Not to mention Gleeson’s work has always been exceptional. The Irish born actor recently appeared as General Hux in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Also released is a bizarre new poster featuring a crumbling profile of Dr. Faraday, revealing blank cement underneath. “These Delusions Are Contagious,” the poster says.
Focus Features is set to release “The Little Stranger” on August 31, 2018.
Here is the film’s synopsis:
Dr. Faraday, the son of a housemaid, builts a life of quiet respectability as a country doctor. During the long hot summer of 1948, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked. The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries. But it is now in decline and its inhabitants – mother, son, and daughter – are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life. When he takes on his new patient, Faraday has no idea how closely, and how disturbingly, the family’s story is about to become entwined with his own.

Arachnophobia was a modest success back in the summer of 1990, grossing $53 million at the box office, and receiving generally positive reviews.

Goodman is available, right?? Hmm. #arachnophobia https://t.co/7PQfYCtkpI
