Just days ago we were questioning whether Hopper was truly gone as David Harbour had stated he hadn't heard from the Stranger Things creative team. Well played David...well played!
Today, this Stranger Things 4 trailer reveals Hopper is just too good of a character to kill off.

So a movie doesn't have to be in our favorite genre to contain some truly WTF scenes. Check out this list, which features not only one, but TWO entries from Return To Oz, featuring Fairuza Balk (The Craft) in one of her earliest performances as Dorothy. I remember first discovering this movie on TV in the 80s when it was played as a Saturday afternoon feature. Even then I knew this was one demented movie. While its intention was no doubt to expand the fantastical world of Oz as done so in the numerous L. Frank Baum books, the creative team seemed to really go all in on this one after a bad trip. The most haunting scene for me was with the many heads of the witch. Like an action figure, the still-animate heads could be interchanged on her body to suit her mood. This is just the tip of the iceberg with this movie....the whole thing is way out there. I mean, Dorothy's in an asylum for starters because you know, lions and tigers and bears...batshit crazy, right? Other entries include Willy Wonka (the good one), some Hitchcock, Lost Highway (no other David Lynch entries, which certainly qualify more so if you ask me - um, hello? Mullholland Drive - behind the diner?). Check it out on WhatCulture. Comicbook.com has been posting a few articles about Stranger Things 4. First, it's looking more like season 4 will have 9 episodes, not 8. No complaints here. The bigger question is - will David Harbour's Hopper be returning after seemingly not survived season 3? After completing work on Marvel's Black Widow, he says he has no work lined up yet regarding Stranger Things. He hasn't heard from the show's creators, the Duffer brothers, so now he's not so sure that he is "The American" referenced in the final season 3 episode. To be fair, its unlikely we would see season 4 any time in 2020, so it may be too early to say either way. Maybe Hopper being "The American" would be too convenient or obvious. But - it's hard to imagine that Hopper really is off the show, so perhaps he'll appear later in the season in some unexpected way? Bloody Disgusting reports that the comic adaptation is set to premier on Netflix on February 7th!
Locke & Key revolves around three siblings who, after the gruesome murder of their father, move to their ancestral home in Massachusetts only to find the house has magical keys that give them a vast array of powers and abilities. New reports are circulating that the third season of Stranger Things has been postponed to summer 2019. Reasons cited include more special effects which take longer to produce as well as on-going "fine-tuning" of the season. “They [the Duffer Brothers and Shawn Levy] understand the stakes are high. They want to deliver something bigger and better than last year,” said Holland. “I think it’s going to be a fantastic season. It will be worth the wait.” |
