All good things end, and in the case of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, the Hargreeves siblings are going out with one hell of a bang. Hold onto your butts and keep a bottle of Clear Eyes at the ready because The Umbrella Academy Season 4 trailer is here to blow your mind and make your eyeballs pop with anticipation. After years of saving the world, the strange, stylish, and spectacular adaptation of the Dark Horse Comics series created by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way is ready to present its most epic season yet.

Here’s the official synopsis for The Umbrella Academy Season 4 courtesy of Netflix:

The Hargreeves siblings have scattered after the climactic showdown at the Hotel Oblivion led to a complete reset of their timeline. Stripped of their powers, each is left to fend for themselves and find a new normal — with wildly varying degrees of success. Yet the trappings of their uncanny new world prove too hard to ignore for very long. Their father Reginald, alive and well, has stepped out of the shadows and into the public eye, overseeing a powerful and nefarious business empire. A mysterious association known as The Keepers holds clandestine meetings believing the reality they’re living in is a lie and a great reckoning is coming. As these strange new forces conspire around them, the Umbrella Academy must come together one last time — and risk upsetting the shaky peace they’ve all endured so much to secure — to finally set things right.

Sam Raimi

Back in 2007, it was rumored that Sam Raimi would be producing a fantasy film with a screenplay written by Freddy vs. Jason and Friday the 13th 2009 writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. That didn’t pan out, but a decade later Raimi considered directing a Bermuda Triangle project that once had Shannon and Swift working on the script. Again, that didn’t pan out, with Scott Derrickson and more recently Marc Webb picking up the project after Raimi dropped it. In 2019, it was announced that Raimi would be directing an untitled island horror thriller, working from a script by Shannon and Swift. Then the pandemic hit and Raimi went on to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness… but now he has circled back to the island horror thriller, which is going by the title Send Help. This one was once set up at Columbia Pictures, but Deadline reports that it has moved over to 20th Century Studios – and the script has been rewritten by the duo of Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.

When Send Help was first announced, it was said to be like “Misery meets Cast Away” in tone. That’s still the description being given, as Deadline mentioned, “the film is described as a two-hander horror thriller set on an island, falling somewhere between Rob Reiner’s Stephen King adaptation Misery and Robert Zemeckis’ classic Castaway.” 20th Century hasn’t officially given it a greenlight yet, but here’s hoping they will soon.

Beck and Woods wrote the initial screenplay for A Quiet Place and have previously worked with Raimi on the Adam Driver dinosaur movie 65 and the anthology series 50 States of Fright. They wrote and executive produced the Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman for 20th Century Studios.

Raimi is producing Send Help alongside Zainab Azizi, the President of his company Raimi Productions.

Film scooper Daniel Richtman recently revealed that Send Help has the following logline: Comedy-adventure horror about a female put-upon employee and her jerk boss. On a business flight together with their company, the plane crashes on an island and only those two make it. She has serious survival skills which means she’s his only hope.

Richtman also shared character details: LINDA: Smartest person in the room, but no one takes her seriously. Actor can’t be overly comedic, has to be believable in serious office setting. Eyed Sandra Bullock. BRADLEY: LINDA’S misogynistic boss.

Community movie

Every now and then we hear something about the long-gestating Community movie. Most of it is positive and shows some sort of progress in the development, but we’re still always left wondering if it will truly happen considering how long word has been circling the quad. Now, Jeff Winger himself, Joel McHale has a quasi-update…and a plea to stop harassing one particular member of the cast. No, not Chevy Chase – he’s fair game.

Speaking with GQ, Joel McHale asked Community fans to stop hassling Donald Glover over the status of the movie. This time around, he’s taking the blame for it having not started filming. “If it’s anybody’s fault, it’s my schedule on this one. It’s not his at all. He was available. No, no, no, no…I will say, and please print this. That was definitely not true. It was not Donald’s schedule. We love Donald. You can fully blame my schedule.”

As for where exactly the Community movie stands, McHale provided far less than fans might want to know, but hey, we’ll take it at this point. “Well, it hasn’t been shot yet. It will be. And I don’t have a definitive update because we thought for a moment it was going to all happen this year, and then it didn’t. But we have the money, and that is a huge step. And hopefully, people still want to see it. And Peacock’s paying for it. And so I can’t wait to do it. I’ll say vaguely next year. How about that?”

It has been just over nine years since Community went off the air – and even longer since its legion of followers launched their #sixseasonandamovie campaign. Well, we got our six seasons but that Community movie hasn’t yet materialized. It’s tough to be patient when anticipating something so important to a cult following, but McHale’s call for peace against his co-star should probably be taken seriously. Glover himself has addressed this before but now that McHale has stepped in, maybe he’ll get a little break…until the blame is passed onto the next guy.

Are you still looking forward to the Community movie even though it has taken so long? What do you hope to see when it finally gets made?
