Uncharted Movie Has a Script, Is Nearing Production
It appears that the Uncharted film is beginning to pick up some steam, and is closer than ever to entering production.
In an interview with The Playlist, Uncharted director Shawn Levy gave an update to the elusive film, saying it has a solid script, star, and is nearer to the horizon than his other film, Starman.
"As of right now, the closest to the starting line is Uncharted in that it’s a massive title," said Levy. "We now have a very good script and we have our star in Tom Holland. That is now subject to schedule and additional casting. But I would say as of right now, that seems to be the most near horizon. And it’s a movie I’m very excited about."
Thor’s Roommate Darryl Survived Thanos’ Snap, Currently Working Weekends
We now know that among the few who survived Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet snap at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, was Darryl, Thor's roommate.
The creator and actor of the video shorts that show Thor's life on Earth outside of the Avengers, Daley Pearson, took to Twitter on Sunday night to share a video wishing Thor happy birthday, and also news that he survived the snap.
'Happy Birthday @Thor. Sorry it's late but i'm working weekends since "The Snap."'
In the video, Darryl explains that the good news is that he survived the snap – the bad news is that many of his coworkers didn't so he now has to work Sundays. He also adds in, "If there happens to be wifi where you are, if you could just do a quick transfer, I'm in quite a bit of debt since you left."

The first look at Netflix's upcoming Chilling Adventures of Sabrina series has been revealed, with the streaming network releasing two new photos from the upcoming series.

First look at Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, via Netflix.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will be a darker take on the property, "in the vein of Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist," according to Netflix, and is based on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina graphic novel, rather than the lighter Sabrina comics or the previous TV adaptation. Netflix says this adaptation "finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature — half-witch, half-mortal — while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit."
