According to a new report from the folks over at TV Line CW's hit drama series "Riverdale" has got another very big surprise in store for character Betty Cooper. This new twist is scheduled to occur later in the season about midway through. Their report reveals that the show is bringing on a new character named Chic Cooper. He will be Betty's long lost brother! That's right! Betty has a brother that she doesn't know about. TV Line referred back to a scene that took place in the season 1 finale episode where Betty found out that her mother Alice got preggers while she was in high school. That resulted in her giving birth to a son that she ended up giving away for adoption. So, it looks like they will have him come lurking back around after all these years. Unfortunately, it hasn't been revealed what Chic will want when he shows up.

According to a new report from the folks over at io9.gizmodo.com, we’re about to see a very weird and creepy new evil villain arrive on the scene at some point in the upcoming season 2. They pointed out that the show’s producer Robert Aguirre-Sacasa recently posted a strange photo on his official Twitter account. It featured a drawing of characters Cheryl and Jason being chased by someone called the Sugar Man. Robert captioned the pic with the words: “Lock your doors, Riverdale, the Sugar Man is coming…” You guys can see his Twitter Post by clicking here. They did some research on this Sugar Man character and their wasn’t anything about him in the Archie Comics. However, they did do a Google search on him. They found a Reddit thread that described the Sugar Man as being a “cowardly but murderous creature that sneaks into...

Recently, Entertainment Weekly delivered their latest boiler room spoiler chat session and revealed some new spoiler details for the upcoming "Riverdale" season 2. It turns out that we're going to see Jughead and Betty run into some possible major problems. These spoilers were dished out when EW talked with the show's executive producer Robert Aguirre-Sacasa. Betty is definitely going to fear that Jughead's new life will totally split them apart. However, we shouldn't expect to see Betty easily give up on their relationship. She's definitely going to fight for him. Robert even went as far as to describe her as being the strongest character out of all of them. In their interview, he stated: "The fear Betty has is Jughead is going to be sucked into this world that has nothing to do with Betty. He might be going to a new school and living with a new family in a different part of town.

As of this writing, Riverdale is four episodes strong and shows no signs of slowing down. As such, the folks over at Archie Comics are banking on some crossover success when the tie-in books officially kickoff this April.
Thanks to some recently disclosed solicits, we’re now able to peer slightly further into the future and see what the second issue has in store for us. But before we proceed, give the official description a read so we don’t take any words out of your mouth:
Set in the same universe as the hit CW series, Riverdale continues to reveal untold stories of the world’s most famous teenagers. When five students from different social cliques (Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and Josie) end up in Saturday detention together—will they kill each other or come together against the forces of evil that brought them there?
Kind of sounds a lot like The Breakfast Club,...

Before Archie got involved in Twin Peaks-esque murder mystery shit on CW's Riverdale, Robert Aguirre-Sacasa - the show's creator and Archie comics chief creative officer - wanted to create a feature film along the lines of Perks Of Being A Wallflower (which honestly seems like the most logical place to take the property). However, as fate would have it, no one was biting. The idea, apparently,... Read More...

• Suddenly Seymour? Let’s hope! Joseph Gordon-Levitt is working with Warner Bros. and Wanted producer Marc Platt on a new big screen version of the musical horror-comedy Little Shop of Horrors, with the hope Gordon-Levitt would play the mild-mannered florist who discovers one of his plants lives on human blood. Robert Aguirre-Sacasa — who’s written on Big Love and Glee, and was brought in to revise the book for Broadway’s Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark — is penning the script. No director is attached. [THR]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is developing a remake of Little Shop of Horrors, “with an eye” toward playing Seymour, The Hollywood Reporter writes. Ah! Too many feelings! On the one hand, sure, Jgl would probably make a terrific Seymour. But ... Frank Oz’s 1986 movie, starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Green, and Steve Martin, is perfect in a way almost no other movie musical is. Broadway producer Marc Platt is set to produce the remake, and Robert Aguirre-Sacasa, a Glee producer, comic-book author, and playwright (who rewrote Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, among other things), is working on the script. This could be the greatest movie revival ever and it would still feel vaguely blasphemous.

We can't avoid it, Hollywood is remaking a Stephen King classic. As if there's not enough King novel material to be adapted, there will be some dipping into an all famaliar well when Carrie will be coming to theater near you. Not only has Robert Aguirre-Sacasa been attached to write, but now comes word that Boys Don't Cry director Kimberly Peirce will be directing the remake bloody teenager coming-of-age horror film.

Kimberly Peirce's powerful debut, 1999's Boys Don't Cry, signalled a fresh talent and a writer-director willing to take risks with her work and investigate the more thorny aspects of human identity and sexuality. So it seems a perfect fit that she's being chosen to direct a remake of Stephen King's seminal female revenge horror tale "Carrie."
The 1976 version starred Sissy Spacek as the shy, tormented titular teen who was pushed to the brink by her cruel classmates and sought revenge with her telekinetic powers in a classic, gory prom scene.
The script is being penned by playwright Robert Aguirre-Sacasa (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark) and, according to Deadline Hollywood, will likely turn around "a version of Carrie that is more faithful to the King book, and more grounded than the Brian De Palma-directed film."...

"Take Carrie to the prom. I dare you!" Another year, and more remakes. Deadline is reporting that director Kimberly Peirce is "in talks" to take over the Carrie remake in the works at MGM & Screen Gems. Last year we reported that those studios were bringing on Robert Aguirre-Sacasa, a Broadway writer (who worked on patching up the Spider-Man musical), to work on the Carrie remake script. Peirce most recently directed the rather atrocious Stop-Loss (2008), as well as Oscar winner Boys Don't Cry. To be honest, this seems like a fairly good fit for her, and if anything I'm optimistic and curious to see what she does with this. As mentioned in this update, Aguirre-Sacasa's script is "more faithful to the [original Stephen] King book [this is based on], and more grounded than the Brian De Palma-directed film." The original film, based on the Stephen King novel of the same ...

MGM and Screen Gems have announced they will team to remake Brian De Palma's 1976 horror film Carrie, based on the Stephen King best-seller. The original was hardly a classic, but did earn a lot of money and scored Best Actress and Supporting Actress Oscar nominations for Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. The film is about a troubled, outcast high school student who possesses extraordinary powers to wreak destruction through telekinetic powers. The film also provided an early big screen role for John Travolta. The bad news is that the movie is being scripted by Robert Aguirre-Sacasa, who has earned critical scorn for writing the Broadway Spiderman special effects-laden production that has seemed cursed since the day it opened.

It seems like the barrage of remakes will never end as today brings news of yet another revision of a decades-old film. Deadline has word that MGM and Screen Gems have hired Robert Aguirre-Sacasa, the writer who was recently brought on board the Spider-Man: Turn of the Dark Broadway musical, to script a remake of the 1976 horror classic Carrie starring Sissy Spacek. The original film, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, followed a telekinetic teenager who gets pushed too far at the prom and wreaks havoc on her fellow high school students. Maybe she can wreak havoc on Hollywood instead to stop all these remakes? Honestly though, I can see where a remake of Carrie could work in today's world of repressed and bullied teens. However, I'm just getting fatigued from all of the remakes, especially of horror films, making their way to theaters. ...

There's quite a number of horror films that are being remade, why not add a classic like "Carrie" to the mix? The 1976 Brian De Palma film, based off the novel written by Stephen King, is being prepped for a remake. Remakes, especially ones for the horror genre, are a dime a dozen nowadays, so this shouldn't be too surprising for most of us. Then again, it doesn't stop us from feeling a tad uncomfortable due to the semi-low success rate with the remake, and the fact that audiences tend to not really embrace the feature like the original no matter how many people flock out to it.Anyways, MGM and Screen Gems are teaming up to create a different spin on "Carrie." "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark" playwright Robert Aguirre-Sacasa will be writing the script. This may not have too many people jumping for joy but who knows, maybe he'll produce one killer script.
