This article contains spoilers for Quantum Leap season 2 episode 3.
The original Quantum Leap, despite being a show centered on time travel, was fairly grounded. Besides Sam (Scott Bakula) being able to leap into other people’s lives, the show kept its stories pretty down to Earth. Sam would help someone with a problem viewers could easily relate to. It’s part of what makes the show so beloved to this day. It was sci-fi but not Too sci-fi.
Which is why it was more than a little strange when, in season 5 episode 6 “Star Light, Star Bright,” Sam encountered aliens. No, it wasn’t a fake out to generate interest in the episode. Sam really proves aliens are real. The story follows Sam’s leap into an old man in 1966 who’s in danger of being put in a home for believing in aliens. Despite seeing a UFO at the beginning of the story,...

Earlier this year, it was announced that Erin Moriarty (best known for playing Starlight on The Boys) and Jamie Campbell Bower (now best known for playing Vecna on Stranger Things) had signed on to star in director Gary Fleder‘s film True Haunting, based on a novel by Edwin F. Becker (pick up a copy Here) – a novel that was based on the story of an actual haunting and exorcism, “the first ever filmed and televised by NBC in 1971.” True Haunting may not end up being released under that title (the project is now known as the “untitled True Haunting movie”), but Deadline reports that Sony is planning to get it into theatres on January 6, 2023.
As of right now, True Haunting is the only studio movie scheduled to open on January 6th, but Paramount will be expanding its release of Damien Chazelle’s film Babylon on that date. Deadline notes...

Bo Brundin, the Swedish actor best known for his turn as a demoralized German World War I pilot opposite Robert Redford in the aerial adventure film The Great Waldo Pepper, has died. He was 85.
Brundin died Sunday in his hometown of Uppsala in Sweden, a spokesperson for Paar Productions told The Hollywood Reporter. The company worked with the actor on one of his last projects, the 2011 short film Starlight, in which he played God.
Brundin appeared in an early stage production of Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal — his role would be taken by Max Von Sydow in the classic 1957 feature — and he had a small role as a political prisoner in The Day the Clown Cried (1972), the infamous never-released film from Jerry Lewis.

The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke is taking a note from Billy the Butcher's book.

In the wrong hands, cliches are about the worst thing that can populate a film. Handled poorly, they just remind you all that can be wrong about cinema. However, cliches became that way for a reason, and are popular with some degree of cause. So, when filmmakers can lean in and utilize cliched material for their own means, sometimes you wind up with a fun result. Star Light is just such a beast, wandering down a well worn path but occasionally doing it in a way that we haven’t seen before, allowing it to stand out from the pack. Out now, it’s an option to consider for genre hounds. The movie is a mix of horror and science fiction, with a bit of an original hook. Here, we have the story of a group of teenagers fighting off a strange entity and protecting a mysterious woman, but the...
