Two years ago, Universal Pictures teamed with producers David Leitch and Kelly McCormick of 87North Productions and director Tommy Wirkola to bring us the highly entertaining, R-rated holiday thriller Violent Night (read our 8/10 review at This Link)… and now, Violent Night 2 appears to be heading toward production. Star David Harbour was spotted with the script in his hand earlier this month, and during an interview with Collider, screenwriters Patrick Casey and Josh Miller assured that they know what fans are hoping to see in the sequel.

While Casey and Miller have stayed busy in recent years by writing each film in the Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy, they have taken the occasional break from scripting Sonic action to write about Santa Claus taking on bad guys. Violent Night showed what happens when a team of elite mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage.

Harbour, who played Santa Claus in Violent Night, shared a picture on social media that showed him hanging out with Santa… and, yes, holding the Violent Night 2 script.

While a sequel to Tommy Wirkola’s action-thriller Violent Night was confirmed almost two years ago, updates have been scarce. That’s likely about to change. David Harbour delivered a holiday treat on Instagram that seems to confirm that Violent Night 2 is gearing up to shoot next year.

Harbour posted a picture with Santa Claus and a caption that reads, “Merry Xmas, ya filthy animals.” But it’s what’s in his hand that’s most intriguing: the script for Violent Night 2.

In Violent Night, “A team of elite mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage. But the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus (Harbour) is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint.”

Last we heard, Pat Casey and Josh Miller will be back to write Violent Night 2.

Faceless After Dark opens with a warning about the film’s use of strobing lights, and immediately we see Bowie sitting staring at the camera as neon purple lights flash on her face as the image grows progressively smaller and unintelligible voices babble louder and louder. That and several long, eye-straining montages scattered through the film make the warning more than justified

Next we see her armed with a machete making her way through a human butcher shop, only to be confronted by the killer clown responsible for the carnage. And then mid-fight, she stops and complains about having to deliver the line, “Haven’t you heard, the circus left town bitch!”

Tommy Wirkola‘s action-thriller Violent Night is getting a sequel, we learned last year, but what’s the latest on that project? Is it still happening or has it fallen by the wayside?

Chatting with Collider at SXSW last week, Violent Night producer Kelly McCormick promised that Violent Night 2 is definitely still happening, and might be filming next year.

“We are planning on returns to those universes,” McCormick responded when the outlet asked for updates on sequels to both Nobody and the Christmas movie Violent Night.

McCormick teased, “Hopefully, honestly, even potentially end of this year for Nobody 2 and, beginning of next year for Violent Night 2, if we can find time in everybody’s busy schedules.

“But the development’s going super well and everybody’s really, really excited about moving those worlds forward.”

The Changeling, based on Victor Lavalle's novel, follows Apollo on a journey of uncovering horrifying truths about his family. Kelly Marcel created the series and served as the writer, while Lavalle narrated the series. The cast includes Lakeith Stanfield, Adina Porter, Clark Backo, Samuel T. Herring, Jared Abrahamson, and Alexis Louder. The creative team discusses the challenges of bringing the world of the book to life, the importance of mothers, and the incorporation of fairy tale elements in costumes and design.

The Changeling, based on Victor Lavalle's novel of the same name, follows Apollo Kagwa on a journey into the strange and unknown as he discovers horrifying truths about his own family. When Apollo's wife seems to lose her grip on reality and kill their child before disappearing into the night, all hope seems lost until a mysterious stranger appears in his life. He learns that his wife is...

There are several characters in The Changeling, but no one is as laden with secrets as to merit an entire episode dedicated to them— except Lillian. Lillian Kagwa, who fled from Uganda and came to America seeking a better life, found herself alone and frightened, even after marrying Brian, the cop. Her heart was a chamber of secrets, and she couldn’t ever really open it up to anyone because she thought she couldn’t afford to. Apollo was the apple of her eye, and when he, too, shunned her, she knew it was time to leave a message behind for him to discover. Let’s take a closer look at the character, which has been portrayed by two actors. The younger version is played by Alexis Louder, and the older one is played by Adina Porter.

It was in 1968 that it all began. This was...

“The Changeling” director and executive producer Jonathan van Tulleken broke down how he captured a “painful” scene that was inspired by “The Changeling” author Victor Lavalle’s real-life experience growing up. The scene — where Apollo Kagwa’s (Lakeith Stanfield) mother is compelled to leave her young son home alone while she goes to work — plays out in the third episode of Apple TV+ series.

Fear and uncertainty describe what a viewer might experience while watching the Stanfield-led horror-drama, “The Changeling.” But those words can also describe the experience of parenthood, which is one of the backdrops upon which “The Changeling” rests.

“There’s definitely strands of postpartum depression, how difficult is to be a mother, how difficult it is to be a Black mother,” van Tulleken told TheWrap about “The Changeling,” which was adapted from Victor Lavalle’s book and carries the same title.

Tulleken, who directed Episodes 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the freshman series,...

Every horror story is already somewhat spoiled.

Whether it’s a movie, TV show, book, or short story, the horror classification alone is a tip off to the audience; a warning that despite any good fortune these characters appear to have, their lives are about to take a sharp downward turn.

So unfolds the first installment of Apple’s “The Changeling,” based on the 2017 horror novel by Victor Lavalle and adapted for television by Kelly Marcel. Episode 101 wears the disguise of romantic drama, the story of Apollo Kagwa (Lakeith Stanfield) and Emma Valentine (Clark Backo), a rare bookseller and librarian who fall in love. There’s even a parallel flashback to Apollo’s mother Lillian (Alexis Louder) and father Brian (Jared Abrahamson). Packaged with Melina Matsoukas’ direction, Marcell Rev’s cinematography, and Lavalle himself narrating lofty ideas about fate and identity, you could almost forget briefly forget that promised seed...

Parenthood is never easy. But what if your partner is tormented by unseen forces that they claim originate in a world of enchantment? That’s just the beginning of the story in “The Changeling,” the new series premiering on Apple TV+ on Friday, Sept. 8. Based on the award-winning novel by Victor Lavelle, “The Changeling” will shake viewers to their core and take them on a journey that’s sometimes magical, and sometimes terrifying.

People disappear, witches are real and there are portals that have never been traveled through before in Apple TV+’s “The Changeling,” a new drama series starring Lakeith Stanfield.

Apple TV+’s adaptation of Victor Lavelle’s bestselling book “The Changeling” is debuts on the streamer this Friday. The eight-part drama, which Stanfield stars in and executive produces, will drop the first three episodes of the series on Friday, Sept. 8. The pilot episode was directed by “Queen & Slim” director Melina Matsoukas.

In the series, Stanfield plays Apollo Kagwa and Clark Backo costars as his wife Emma. Lavelle appears in the show as its narrator, and also serves as an executive producer. Here’s everything you need to know about the horror drama.

When does “The Changeling” come out?

Apple TV+’s “The Changeling” comes out on Friday, Sept. 8 with its first three episodes. Following episodes will air on the streamer every Friday until Oct.

Fantasy fans, pay attention! AppleTV’s new series The Changeling, labeled as a “fairytale for adults,” stars incredible actors like Lakeith Stanfield and Clark Backo, along with many other talented performers. Based on Victor Lavalle’s novel, the fantasy drama series promises to give you a taste of the horror genre in its own unique way. So, what do we know about this series so far, apart from the genres it falls into? The series is not to be confused with some other films with the same title. This is a completely unique experience. A tale about parenthood infused with a sense of mystery and fantasy Creator Kelly Marcel has focused on producing a genre-defining series with cultural commentary weaved into its structure.

Story And Plot

From the trailer, we can surmise that the story revolves around a couple, Apollo and Emma. They meet in modern-day New York, and after a lot of rejection,...

A specially signed copy of Harper Lee’s classic novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” could be the golden ticket to new beginnings for Apollo Kagwa’s (Lakeith Stanfield) family in a new trailer for the Apple TV+ series “The Changeling.”

“To Kill a Mockingbird?” Emma, who is played by Clark Backo, said in the clip titled “What a Day,” which you can watch above, released Thursday exclusively via TheWrap.

The scene in the clip began with Apollo coming home and seeing Emma holding their son Brian. Apollo, book dealer, showed Emma his latest find.

“That’s right, a true first edition, original cover. It’s in pristine condition — not a scratch,” Apollo responded. “Now, a book like that could get us… $10,000.”

In shock, Emma questioned, “10?”

Apollo then proceeded to go more in depth with how that particular copy is even more unique than what he led with, mentioning that Lee...

According to rudimentary Googling, Apple has a generally well-regarded parental leave policy. But according to the output at Apple TV+, there is anxiety in the water in Cupertino (or in the company’s Los Angeles offices).

Dropping this Friday, The Changeling is the second Apple TV+ series in five years blending fairy tale and horror to delve into maternal and paternal anxieties about nature, nurture and the price paid when parents are forced to leave babies behind to return to work.

Perhaps not as bluntly effective as Servant, The Changeling is an admirably ambitious series, especially on thematic levels, where it seems to be bursting with commentary on 21st century parenting. As storytelling, though, Kelly Marcel’s adaptation of Victor Lavalle’s novel is a mess. Though the series isn’t lurching through time and frames of reality without intent, its refusal to build any sort of momentum becomes increasingly frustrating.

Apple TV+ is launching the genre-blending The Changeling on September 8, 2023 with the release of the first three episodes. Oscar nominee Lakeith Stanfield leads the cast of what the streaming service describes as a fairytale for grown-ups, a horror story, and a parenthood fable.

Joining Stanfield (“Apollo Kagwa”) in the eight-episode series are Clark Backo (“Emmy”), Adina Porter (“Lillian Kagwa”), Samuel T. Herring (“William Wheeler”), Alexis Louder (“young Lillian”), and Jared Abrahamson (“Brian West”). Malcolm Barrett (“Patrice”) is featured as a special guest star.

Just ahead of its premiere, the drama based on Victor Lavalle’s bestselling novel sits at 75% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Huff Post’s Candice Frederick says “The Changeling is an extravagant genre offering about… well, many different things. Most profoundly, it’s about the natural horrors of life and death — as well as the stories we tell ourselves and those we love.”

The Playlist’s Brian Tallerico...

In both dating and television, first impressions are everything. The Changeling begins with a meet-cute between used book dealer Apollo (Lakeith Stanfield) and librarian Emma (Clark Backo). She initially rejects Apollo, only for him to return continually to her workplace to ask her out again. The Apple TV+ show’s omniscient male narrator insists that while some would consider this “stalking,” he, gallingly, sees it simply as “persistence.”

The Changeling flashes back to the story of Apollo’s mother, Lillian (initially played by Alexis Louder and later by Adina Porter), who’s similarly pursued by Brian (Jared Abrahamson), a man who struggles with accepting the word “no.” She also, for some reason, finds this characteristic endearing. The series predominantly focuses on Apollo and Emma as they fall in love, move in together, and have a child, returning intermittently to Lillian’s story as she struggles to raise Apollo single-handedly after Brian disappears.

Apple TV+ is excited to share a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming eight part drama series, “The Changeling,” with star and executive producer Lakeith Stanfield and co-star Clark Backo. Based on the acclaimed best-selling book of the same name by Victor Lavalle, “The Changeling” will make its global debut with three episodes on Friday, September 8, 2023 on Apple TV+, followed by one episode weekly through October 13.

“The Changeling” is a fairytale for grown-ups. A horror story, a parenthood fable and a perilous odyssey through a New York City you didn’t know existed. In addition to Stanfield and Backo, the series stars Adina Porter, Samuel T. Herring, Alexis Louder, Jared Abrahamson, and special guest star Malcolm Barrett.

The series was written and adapted by Kelly Marcel, who also served as showrunner and executive producer, and directed and executive produced by Melina Matsoukas.

The series is produced by Apple Studios and Annapurna.

Sometimes, you really should be careful what you wish for. Bookshelves all across the world are full of fairytales that have warned countless children about the dangers of sticking their nose in places they don't belong and messing with powers far beyond their understanding, but these stories typically contort themselves to wrap things up with a happy ending. But what about when adults are the ones in need of a little lesson of their own? The original Grimms' Fairy Tales took a much darker and more disturbing approach, melding fantasy with outright horror to get their point across. Well, welcome to the much more modern take on fairytales for grownups.

Lakeith Stanfield is undergoing a transformation that only parenthood permits.

Oscar-nominated actor Stanfield stars as a new father in the Apple TV+ limited series “The Changeling,” based on Victor Lavalle’s novel of the same name. The “Atlanta” alum executive produces the eight-episode show about a dad who is pulled into a surreal journey after the birth of his son.

“She told me I had three wishes,” Emma said “When it falls off my wrist, those three wishes will come true. Do not cut it.”

But for Apollo Kagway, Lakeith Stanfield’s character, wishes and witches are only found in fairytales.

Weathering is a movie written and directed by Megalyn Echikunwoke starring Alexis Louder.

A medium-length film with a terrific leading lady, Alexis Louder, who is given a chance to shine in one of those roles she loves to play so much. She makes the most of the opportunity in a medium-length film that, unfortunately, will be remembered only for her performance.

That said, we applaud Netflix for changing the rules of the game and releasing this story that, without being little more than an episode of one of those horror series in The Alfred Hitchcock Hour style, knows how to play with what it has and with its length.

Plot

A woman begins to see visions after losing her son in childbirth.

Violent Night was one of this fan’s best moviegoing experiences from last year (read our review). The latest from filmmaker Tommy Wirkola is a gleeful, funny, brutal, and shockingly sweet modern take on a familiar formula. And it all works. The film includes David Harbour in a role tailor-made for him as a badass Santa Claus. Then there is John Leguizamo, Beverly D’Angelo, Alexis Louder, and the terrific Leah Brady. The cast collected is perfection.

Harbour’s take on kick-ass Claus is a rollicking good time. One of the best moments in the bloody action flick is when Santa disposes of several members of an Extraction Team. It’s a viciously intense scene that features one of the most excellent weapons in any movie, a candy cane. And yes, that thing is sharp with some help from old St. Nick and his teeth. It’s a wild experience to...

Screen Rant is thrilled to present an exclusive montage of Violent Night extended scenes. The Christmas action movie introduces a new take on Santa, one who is a skilled warrior willing to get his hands dirty in order to save Christmas. In Violent Night, a group of mercenaries, led by Mr. Scrooge (John Leguizamo), attack a wealthy family on their estate, holding them hostage. It's up to Santa to save the family, including young Trudy, and save Christmas.

Violent Night captures the spirit of Christmas from the more traditional Santa Claus and reindeer elements to the violence and heroism of the often debated Christmas movie Die Hard. Violent Night stars David Harbour as Santa Claus, but this isn't the Father Christmas most people are used to. Harbour's Santa is a former Viking warrior who has been delivering gifts while married to Mrs. Claus for over 1,000 years. Violent Night is available now on digital,...

Santa Claus will return to spread Christmas cheer… and break a few skulls along the way. Violent Night was a modest box-office success, grossing over 75 million worldwide on a 20 million budget, and director Tommy Wirkola confirmed to The Wrap that Violent Night 2 is in the works.

“We’re talking about it,” Tommy Wirkola said, “and we’re just making deals and getting everything in order.” The director also confirmed that original screenwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller will return to pen Violent Night 2, but that the team isn’t rushing to start shooting anytime soon. “We have time to really crack the script and figure out the story,” Wirkola said. “And we have some ideas, me and Pat and Josh and the producers, we’ve been talking about where we want to take it and what we want to see.” The director added that a few of the ideas that...
