The secret "everything" version.

>Darkness must be hunted. Mike Flanagan’s The Exorcist: Martyrs is only in theaters March 12.

>Academy Award® nominee Scarlett Johansson fronts The Exorcist: Martyrs, an unsettling new chapter in one of the most storied titles in cinema history from genre auteur Mike Flanagan, the creator of acclaimed series The Haunting of Hill House, The Fall of the House of Usher, Midnight Mass, and the upcoming Carrie, as well as the films Doctor Sleep, The Life of Chuck, Hush and Gerald’s Game.

>Thirteen years ago, New York City detective Julie Miller (Johansson) ended the terror reign of satanic serial killer Father Sunday. The case made her a hero, and she has thrown herself into her work ever since. Now a new killer scrawls her name in an altar boy’s blood on the walls of a church crypt, dragging her back into the darkness she believed she had buried with him.

>Aided by former prison chaplain Father William (Academy Award® nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor), who heard Father Sunday’s final confession, and sharp rookie detective Gina Restrepo (Sasha Calle, The Rip), Detective Miller will discover a filament linking a lineage of serial killers, from H.H. Holmes to the Zodiac, that could corrupt everything, and everyone, she loves with an evil that goes well beyond the mortal.

Had a feeling it would start September 10 or 17 given that the fall seasons start in the middle of September. For the record or for those who haven't seen my prior posts on the cast, the contestants are Iben Akerlie (actress and author), Aslak Maurstad (voice actor and gamer), Robert Stoltenberg (comedian), Johan Golden (comedian; also longtime radio partner of the King himself, Atle Antonsen), and Ulrikke Falch (actress). A highly interesting batch of names.

Say that again...

Not as tight as A Fistful of Dollars but pretty good nonetheless.

Trailer.

>Following the death of his father (Josh Brolin), Jay Gardiner (Austin Abrams) goes diving off the central Coast of California in search of his remains, but is swallowed by a massive sperm whale. While trapped inside its belly with only one hour of oxygen left, Jay comes to realize that the hard-earned lessons his father imparted may be the key to his escape.

Came across this while mindlessly looking at a TV guide app that has various Nordic channels not just limited to Norway and it looked awfully familiar...

Press release.

I previously made a post about the early reveal in a TV promo, but now that they've officially announced it, along with a hi-rez promo image (can you spot a difference by the way?), I figured I might as well post it and the write-up I did (again) sans spoiler tags along with some additional notes and structural adjustments. Enjoy.

Top to bottom: Iben Akerlie (actress and author), Aslak Maurstad (voice actor and gamer) Robert Stoltenberg (comedian), Johan Golden (comedian), and Ulrikke Falch (actress).

Johan Golden has been a longtime collaborator of the king himself Atle Antonsen and the two have had the radio show Misjonen, formerly Kommisjonen before they moved over to a different channel, on air for almost 20 years now so this will be very interesting. My dad noted that "Golden vs. Antonsen could get colorful.".

Robert Stoltenberg has likewise also been a longtime comedian, best known for his comedy show where he plays all the main characters, a schtick that has been long oversaturated by now. He's also written some children's books with his brother and has been in the detective panel of Maskorama (The Masked Singer) for a couple seasons now along with season 8 winner Tete Lidbom. He sadly does have a tendency to get a bit goofy as if we was slipping into a character, making him one of the weakest aspects of it. I do agree with my dad that he could be pretty solid in Kongen Befaler if he's just himself.

Fans of The Traitors will likely recognize two of the others from various seasons of Forræder. Ulrikke Falch (Forræder season 4) is probably best know for starring in the high school drama Skam with season 12 winner Ina Svenningdal. She apparently also starred in season 2 of the show Gym, hosted by Kongen Befaler season 2 alumni Mia Hundvin, which I may have surpressed from my memory. I recall reading an interview from a year or two ago where it said she was studying in Denmark.

Aslak Maurstad (Forræder season 2) is from a family of actors with his brothers Scott and Stinius also being voice actors, though he and Stinius are to a much lesser degree. (Stinius is also a violin player.) He's also a gamer and subtitler for live TV broadcasts, record fast at that. Last year, he hosted Hotellet, apparently an adaptation of a concept called The Fortune Hotel, which was actually a pretty enjoyable if familiar show. As a little fun fact, their mother Mari is a certified Disney voice actor, being the official voice of Daisy Duck and also voicing Huey, Dewey, and Louie in the original DuckTales. Woohoo!

And last but not least is Iben Akerlie who, like Ulrikke Falch, is not the most prolific name but she makes appearences in reality shows and movies from time to time though she's probably most known for writing the children's book Lars is LOL. She's also a very dry and deadpan person. Think of Jenna Ortega's version of Wednesday Addams without a penchant for murder.
