Netflix was at one point developing a series adaptation of the children's fantasy novel series Wings of Fire, but the project wound up fizzling out in development hell. Another streamer came in to give the adaptation another shot, and it's just gotten an exciting update with its development

Per Variety, an update has been revealed that an animated series adaptation of Wings of Fire is now in the works at Prime Video. After it was first reported to be in the works in 2024, it's now been revealed that Aaron Waltke will serve as series showrunner, co-writer, and executive producer. Original Wings of Fire author Tui T. Sutherland is also co-writing the series with Waltke and will serve as an executive producer as well, alongside Marc Resteghini of Jack Tar Productions.

The “Wings of Fire” animated series at Amazon Prime Video has found its showrunner.

Variety has learned exclusively that Aaron Waltke has boarded the show as showrunner, executive producer, and co-writer. Tui T. Sutherland, who wrote the books on which the series is based, will also co-write and executive produce. Marc Resteghini will also executive produce under his Jack Tar Productions banner.

The show was first reported to be in development at Amazon back in February 2024 after a previous version with a different creative team was scrapped at Netflix.

Waltke is no stranger to the world of animation. He is perhaps best known His previous work includes Guillermo Del Toro’s “Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia” at Netflix, for which he won a Daytime Emmy for best writing for an animated series in 2018. He was nominated for the show in the same category the following year. Waltke also served as showrunner...

Guillermo del Toro's Tales of Arcadia trilogy is one of the most creative and entertaining trilogies from the creator. Wizards: Tales of Arcadia managed to offer a great conclusion to the trilogy and reach a major milestone rating on Rotten Tomatoes. What makes Tales of Arcadia great is what contributed to the beloved show and has since made it unforgettable.

Netflix's miniseries Wizards: Tales of Arcadia might not be one of the service's most popular shows, but those unfamiliar with it would be surprised to know that it secured a stellar 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The series is the third installment in Guillermo del Toro's underrated Tales of Arcadia trilogy, following Trollhunters and 3Below. As an executive producer and co-creator, Del Toro's visionary influence is evident throughout Wizards, blending mythical elements with modern themes to create a compelling narrative that appeals to both younger viewers and adults.

Back in March 2023, the news broke that filmmaker Guillermo del Toro was in the midst of casting a new film version of "Frankenstein" that he was slated to write and direct. At the time, it was said that Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth were set to star and that Andrew Garfield was to play the Monster. According to actor Doug Jones (who has worked with del Toro on several feature films), the director had long been at work on a "Frankenstein" movie that was meant to visually resemble Bernie Wrightson's "Frankenstein," a heavily illustrated printing of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel made by Marvel Comics back in 1983. At the time of Jones' comments, however, he was slated to play the Monster himself, as the actor commented on what "my look" would have been. That Wrightson-inspired version eventually evolved into the version mentioned above, which is being produced for Netflix.

Entertainment Weekly...

Marc Guggenheim has signed with CAA for representation, Variety has learned exclusively.

Guggenheim continues to be represented by attorney Wendy Kirk at Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole Llp as well as by manager Cliff Roberts at Syndicate Entertainment.

Guggenheim is perhaps best known for his work in The CW’s so-called Arrowverse — its collection of shows based on DC Comics characters. He co-created the first of those shows, “Arrow,” along with Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg. The show ultimately aired for eight seasons and 170 episodes. Guggenheim, Berlanti, and Kreisberg, along with Phil Klemmer, then went on to create the DC show “Legends of Tomorrow,” which ran for seven seasons and 110 episodes. He also developed the animated DC series “Vixen” and served as a writer and executive producer on “Supergirl.”

Beyond his work in the Arrowverse, Guggenheim and Berlanti co-created the ABC series “Eli Stone.” His other TV credits include “Law & Order,...

How much of the journey is worth it when you’re scratching your head at the destination? That’s the question one must confront in Guillermo del Toro’s Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans.

Originating from the book series created by del Toro and Daniel Kaus, 2016 series Trollhunters kicked off Tales of Arcadia as part of Netflix’s quest to produce original animation for children. You don’t go into Trollhunters and its two series successors, 3Below and Wizards, expecting form-breaking storytelling for Western children’s cartoons, but each series had plenty to offer: Del Toro’s colorful realms with their own mythology, slapstick one-liners in the midst of swordplay, and colorful creatures from lovable Aaarrrgghh (Fred Tatasciore) to the paternal Blinky (Kelsey Grammar) with his teacher bravado.

All set in the sleepy town of Arcadia, Trollhunters explored the mounting responsibilities of a Chosen-One mantle held by a human boy...

Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans is a new film delivered by the wonderful mind of Guillermo Del Toro, and will wrap up the adventures of the Trollhunters when it shows up next month. The TV franchise Trollhunters kicked off in 2016 with Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, which made three incredible seasons on Netflix that expanded into another series 3Below: Tales of Arcadia and another called Wizards: Tales of Arcadia that released in 2019.

Both series and characters were created by Guillermo Del Toro himself. Guillermo Del Toro is famous for his previous work on such films as Hellboy, Pacific Rim, and Blade 2. Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans is a full-length feature film, said to follow the events of Wizards and scheduled to release on July 21, 2021.

The series follows Jim Lake Jr., the first-ever human being called to be a Trollhunter. He is a human mortal who stumbles across a war fought...

Netflix has debuted a new trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s feature film conclusion to the ‘Tales of Arcadia’ saga, ‘Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans.’

Arcadia may look like an ordinary town but it lies at the centre of magical and mystical lines that make it a nexus for many battles among otherworldly creatures including trolls, aliens and wizards. Now the heroes from the hit series Trollhunters, 3Below and Wizards, team up in their most epic adventure yet where they must fight the Arcane Order for control over the magic that binds them all.

The voice cast includes Steven Yeun, Emile Hirsch, Kelsey Grammer, Alfred Molina, Nick Frost, Diego Luna, Tatiana Maslany, Nick Offerman, Brian Blessed, James Hong and Cheryl Hines among many others.

Also in trailers – “We need you to fight!” Good timing then for the final trailer for ‘The Tomorrow War’

The film hits the streamer on July 21st.

Creator Guillermo del Toro introduced the new trailer and several clips of Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans, the upcoming animated feature based on his Emmy-winning Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia trilogy series, during a Tuesday panel as part of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.

The fantasy film is in production at DreamWorks Animation, which also produced the series and will released next month on Netflix. The first Trollhunters series ran on Netflix from 2016-18, followed by 3Below from 2018-19 and Wizards in 2020.

Netflix psychological thriller Behind Her Eyes, adapted from Sarah Pinborough’s hit novel of the same name, sets its cast an unenviably tough task (and not just because almost everyone’s having to do a regional accent). Through subtleties and shifts in their performances, Eve Hewson, Tom Bateman, Simona Brown and Robert Aramayo need to keep the audience invested while keeping us guessing. What is it we’re watching? Is this six-part series the tale of Adele and David’s brittle marriage and the secrets that bind them? Or the story of single-mother Louise (Simona Brown) getting in over her head with this glamorous new couple? Could it be something else entirely?

While you’re asking yourself those questions, you’ll likely be asking another: where have I seen that guy before? While we can’t help with the former and stay spoiler-free, we can answer that one…

We want this in our eyeballs, right now!    There is a strong chance that the worldwide rights for animated fantasy epic The Spine of Night, due to have its world premiere at SXSW virtually next month, will all be wrapped up by the time its world premiere rolls around. It's not too often an animated film comes out and immediately harkens the spirit of animated fantasy classics like Heavy Metal, Wizards and Lord of the Rings. Yet here we are and this premonition is all but a certainty.    On top of that you have a cast that includes Richard E. Grant, Lucy Lawless, Patton Oswalt, Betty Gabriel And Joe Manganiello?

If Indiana Jones 5 starts shooting in May as planned, original star John Rhys-Davies is on board to return as Sallah is he gets the call. After years of gestating in development hell, Indiana Jones 5 finally appears to be on track with James Mangold in the director's chair. Last month, Disney confirmed that the plan was to begin filming the sequel this spring and release the movie in 2022.

In 1981, John Rhys-Davies appeared as Sallah in the original Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, where he becomes a close friend to Indy. He reprised the role in 1989 for the third installment of the series, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Though Rhys-Davies isn't as confident as Disney that production will start in May, he recently regaled to ComingSoon.net that he'd be available to return if needed.

The director has a new novel out, an animation series on Netflix and two films in the pipeline – and still had time to watch three films a day in lockdown

A specialist in fantasy and the supernatural, Mexican film-maker Guillermo del Toro was born in Guadalajara in 1964. He worked as a special effects makeup designer, before making his directing debut with 1993 vampire story Cronos. He went on to make two highly acclaimed supernatural films in Spain – ghost story The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth, which sets a fantasy mythology against the background of the Franco dictatorship. His work in Hollywood includes two Hellboy films, Japanese-themed robots-v-monsters epic Pacific Rim and gothic drama Crimson Peak. The Shape of Water (2017), a love story about a woman and an amphibian being, won multiple awards including Oscars for best picture and best director, and the Golden Lion at the Venice film festival.

"The goodwill is there. I think it's more a matter of timing." David did clarify, however, that "nothing is official" and formal conversations with Disney have yet to take place.

For the first time in a while, Netflix is adding no new titles today, so let’s instead take the opportunity to recap what’s gone up on the streaming site over the past week, from Saturday, August 1st to Saturday, August 8th. As that encompasses the first day of the month, there was a huge amount of fresh content added to Netflix’s library over this period. To be exact, there were 49 movies and 24 TV shows.

On the film side of things, this haul includes many an acclaimed or cult favorite flick from across the decades in all kinds of genres. The highlight is probably the entire Jurassic Park trilogy, which has proved popular with Netflix users as the first two entries have been hanging around the top 10 most-watched movies list almost ever since arriving. 80s classic fantasy flick The NeverEnding Story and its sequel were added on the 1st as well,...

Oh Guillermo del Toro, you trickster. When the animated series Wizards arrived, it was heralded as the conclusion to the Tales of Arcadia saga. But it turns out…there’s more. Rather than wrapping things up with Wizards, del Toro and company are launching the feature film Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans, and now that is being sold as the proper conclusion […]

“Wizards,” premiering Aug. 7 on Netflix, marks the culmination of Guillermo del Toro’s animated “Tales of Arcadia” triptych of TV series that includes “Trollhunters” and “3Below.” The DreamWorks Animation production follows wizard trainee Douxie, voiced by Colin O’ Donaghue, on an epic adventure that sees him and friends Jim (Emile Hirsch), Claire (Lexi Medrano) and Steve (Steven Yeun) travel in time to Camelot, among other wondrous worlds.

“Wizards” introduces the domain of magic makers, complete with a flying castle, even as it includes the realms of aliens and trolls. The first episode alone required more than 1,000 VFX shots. “We are ambitious here and push well beyond the limits of daytime TV animation in certain areas,” del Toro says. “We were trying to keep the entire world visually cohesive, and VFX was crucial to take the scale jump.”

Visual effects supervisor Greg Lev and compositing supervisor Brandon Tyra, who worked on all three series,...

Netflix has added a sizeable haul of new titles to its library today just in time for the weekend. There are 12 new movies and TV shows up on the streaming service this Friday, August 7th, and interestingly, they’re almost all Netflix Originals. It’s a particularly great day for animation fans as well, as two of the site’s popular animated series have had their latest seasons drop today.

First up, Australian/New Zealand co-production The New Legends of Monkey debuted its first season on Netflix all the way back in April 2018, so this second season has taken a long time in getting here. Then there’s Wizards: Tales of Arcadia, the third and final installment in Guillermo del Toro’s animated fantasy shared universe which includes Trollhunters and 3Below.

And just under 24 hours later, both corporate entities caved! Dreamworks and Netflix announced today that the Tales of Arcadia saga is getting a grand movie finale. Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans is set to premiere sometime in 2021.

“Team Trollhunters committed, about a decade ago, to try and push the boundaries of 3D CGI animation made for TV. We outlined a vast trilogy of interconnecting mythology and characters that we always hoped could culminate with a massive ‘all-stars reunion’,” creator and executive producer Guillermo del Toro said in a statement.

DreamWorks Animation and Netflix have scheduled Guillermo del Toro’s “Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans” movie for release in 2021.

The animated adventure film, currently in production, is set in the world created by del Toro in his “Tales of Arcadia” trilogy, with the third series “Wizards” debuting Friday on Netflix.

The interconnecting series, which first launched in 2016, is set in the fictional suburb of Arcadia, where three friends make a startling discovery that beneath their hometown lies a hidden battle between good trolls and bad.

“Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans” is directed by Johane Matte, Franisco Ruiz Velasco and Andrew L. Schmidt from a script by Marc Guggenheim, Dan Hageman, and Kevin Hageman. Executive producers are del Toro, Guggenheim, Chad Hammes and the Hagemans.

In the nearly four years since Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia debuted on Netflix, the animated series created by Guillermo del Toro, and produced by Dreamworks, has introduced viewers to Arcadia Oaks, reluctant heroes, and a society of trolls over the course of three seasons. Then, the adventures continued with two seasons of 3Below, featuring humanoid aliens who crash land on earth whilst escaping a civil war. Now, the final chapter of the Tales of Arcadia franchise, Wizards, debuts on August 7 with a time-traveling fantasy epic that spans Camelot and the suburbs.

In addition to introducing new characters, and re-introducing previous ones, Wizards also seeks to pull the threads together of the entire trilogy, and fill in the blanks on events only previously referenced.

Set immediately following the events of 3Below’s second season, Wizards picks up with Merlin’s apprentice Douxie (voiced by Colin O’Donoghue), and a magical war across...

Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal’s La Corriente del Golfo has teamed with Amazon Prime Video on a new issue-driven conversation series “Pan y Circo” (Bread and Circus), which will launch globally on the platform on Friday (Aug. 7).

Using an innovative new format of Luna’s own design, the series seats a group of different personalities with unique perspectives on a common subject around a table for a meal (the “pan”) and discussion (the “circo”). The table-centric model has hints of Facebook’s Jada Pinkett Smith-hosted “Red Table Talk,” though Luna has been developing this series for several years and the differences in the programs are perhaps more pronounced.

In “Pan y Circo” the meal share equal billing with the conversation, and each episode starts in the kitchen where Luna and that dinner’s chef kick off discussions about the topic and soup du jour. After the final course the meal is served,...

Netflix have added a lot of new content for August already, whilst continuing to draw big audiences for returning original series like The Umbrella Academy and divisive but popular movie The Kissing Booth 2. For the week of August 3rd to August 9th, the streaming platform are releasing even more, with Guillermo del Toro’s Wizards: Tales of Arcadia on the way, as well as timely documentary Immigration Nation and many other titles in what’s looking to be another busy week for the company.

Wizards is the third in del Toro’s successful trilogy of CGI science-fiction series for Netflix, following on from Trollhunters and 3Below, which have collectively produced five seasons of episodes to date. The respective series all focus on supernatural events in the small town of Arcadia Oaks, with the new outing moving the action to medieval Camelot. Wizards will be available to watch from August 7th.

Netflix is out with its list of everything coming and going in August, and the list includes Season 5 of “Lucifer” and a new film starring Jamie Foxx called “Project Power.”

Other highlights include the 1991 “The Addams Family” movie; “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet; “Jurassic Park” and “Jurassic Park III,” and the 1979 version of “Mad Max,” to name a few.

Netflix original series include season three of “The Rain,” and “Selling Sunset,” a new cartoon called “Hoops,” and the “Game On: A Comedy Crossover Event” featuring characters from “Mr. Iglesias,” “Family Reunion,” “The Big Show Show” and “Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love” — including Eva Longoria.

It may seem like Guillermo del Toro is up to a lot of different things at once. But while his current projects may seem to verge wildly at the moment, from the award-nominated fantasy film “The Shape of Water” to the Netflix/Dreamworks Animation series “Trollhunters,” there is one common element — one which unites those projects as well as much of his past work.

“I’m a guy that’s been doing fairy tales all his life,” del Toro told IndieWire. “It can be ‘Shape of Water,’ it can be ‘Pacific Rim,’ it can be [‘Trollhunters’]. It can be Pan’s Labyrinth. There is that thruline.”

While the intention might be the same, we do see variations in del Toro’s approach to making film and television. For example, the second season of “Trollhunters,” which premieres Friday on Netflix, is far less adult than some of his other work, even though...

Netflix and DreamWorks have partnered up for a massive slate of programming next year. In 2018, Netflix and DreamWorks Animated Television will debut six original shows. Some familiar titles and some brand new. Among the movies getting the small screen treatment are Trolls and The Boss Baby. In addition, TVweb is reporting that Netflix is rebooting the beloved 80s animated series, She-Ra, a spin-off of the old He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon.

First up is Trolls: The Beat Goes On, which arrives on January 18, 2018. Picking up where the film left off, Trolls: The Beat goes On is an all-new chapter in the endlessly upbeat adventures of the Trolls as Poppy, Branch and all of Troll Village keep the party going in their fantastical forest home. Executive produced by Matthew Beans (Robot Chicken), the series features Skylar Astin (Pitch Perfect) and Amanda Leighton (This Is Us) as the voices...

Netflix and Dreamworks Animation have announced that they have a new slate of animated series projects in development that are set to launch next year. One of the most exciting projects that came with the announcement includes a revival of the classic 80s series She-Ra: Princess of Power!

I hope that the series turns out to be good. I think it's something that my girls are going to love. I'm sure most of you are familiar with She-Ra, but if not, she is also known as Princess Adora and is the twin sister of Prince Adam a.k.a. He-Man. She was kidnapped as a baby by the Horde's leader Hordak. She is eventually given the Sword of Protection, which parallels He-Man's Sword of Power, gaining the power to transform into She-Ra.

The series is being developed by showrunner Noelle Stevenson, who is the Eisner-winning co-creator of Lumberjanes. Here’s...
