Stranger Things 5: Could Vecna be Eleven's father? A fan theory seems to prove it!

Ifan of the series hazards a theory about Stranger Things 5, which, if true, would upset every mechanism: Vecna would actually be the father of Eleven! To suggest for the first time a podcast entitled Just the Nobodys was published on TikTok. At first glance, the scenery seems pure suggestion and nothing else. Still, there is a fair amount of supporting evidence.

Stranger Things 5: the relationship between Vecna and Undici

According to the Stranger Things 5 thesis, Brenner was well aware that none of the two to ten children were as strong as the first. As a result, the doctor gave Uno time to grow up to reproduce with Terry Ives and thus give birth to Eleven, so that she was the strongest.

Terry Ives is the mother of the protagonist. In 1969, she joined the MKUltra project, under the supervision of Dr. Martin Brenner, where she underwent experiments involving psychedelic drugs, capable of altering the mind and stimulating the senses. In late 1970 (or early 1971) she became pregnant and in June 1971 she had a daughter named Jane. Which Brenner took, covering it all up as a miscarriage. Terry didn’t fall for it and tried to reclaim her daughter by force but without success. Hence, Jane became Eleven, whose perception could radically change in Stranger Things 5.

According to the podcast, Brenner’s efforts to clone 001 did not yield the desired results. As a result, he worked to get her (who would have turned 24 in 1971) to get Terry Ives pregnant in order to shape a superpowered creature.

This would actually explain why Brenner had a unique bond with Eleven from the start and considered it his “special project”. Also, the way 001 told Eleven that “Dad” doesn’t always tell the truth and seeing himself in her and knowing the key to unlocking the young woman’s powers feeds the guesswork. Will they be correct? Only Stranger Things 5 can answer us!

Stranger Things: everything we know about the spin-off of the Netflix series

Everything we currently know about the previously announced Stranger Things spin-off.

Probably not even the most optimistic would have envisioned success of such proportions for Stranger Things. The TV series set in the 1980s has even turned into a cultural phenomenon on a planetary scale. Given the excellent audience numbers, Netflix certainly couldn’t miss those who made it all possible, namely the creators of the show.

The first advances in the spin-off

In recent times, the Los Gatos streaming giant has officially announced the establishment by Matt and Ross Duffer (better known as the Duffer brothers), the artistic fathers and executive producer of Stranger Things, of a production company, called Upside Down Pictures, through which they will develop film and television projects, as part of the agreement stipulated with the company by the big red “n”.

The name given to the project, Upside Down (the equivalent of the upside down, where an important part of ST’s history takes place), speaks volumes about the important role that Stranger Things will retain in the coming years. A live-action spin-off series and a new play set in the world and mythology of the franchise are currently being finalized. In addition, representations not directly associated with the popular science fiction saga, whose main narrative strand will end with season 5, would be in the pipeline.

For anyone who is passionate about Stranger Things, after finishing the fourth season, a spontaneous question arises: what will the spin-off be about? Who will be the protagonists and which ST characters will appear there? The questions would go on forever, but let’s try to take stock of the situation. For a start, it won’t follow the original drama.

Guests on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Duffer Brothers have made some interesting statements on the matter. They’ve read various rumors about one SO on Eleven, one on Dustin and Steve, and more. The truth? None of this is true. They are not interested in it as they have already thought about it. They’ve spent a lot of hours exploring narrative outlets and feel the time has come to push the boundaries. Therefore, the characteristics will be very different. However, according to the creators of Stranger Things, the spin-off will follow the sensitivity of the narrative, although characterized by new faces.

Matt Duffer pointed out how the storyline will connect with the ST universe, but in reality, it will be mostly about how they are delivering it. Basically, a thick aura of mystery remains, but the Duffer brothers told Variety that actor Finn Wolfhard was able to predict the future evolution of the work.

They have an idea for a spin-off they are “super enthusiastic about”, not spelled out to anyone or put in black and white. According to them every one, including Netflix, will be surprised when they reveal it because it is so far away from ST. Yet, somehow Finn Wolfhard (interpreter of Michael “Mike” Wheeler) has fully taken us on the issues they will face. However, except for him, no one else is aware of it!

Stranger Things 5 and that clue in Will's painting: will the dragon Borys be the nemesis of the new season?

If so, the protagonists of Stranger Things in the last season could be confronted with the most powerful nemesis of D&D!

The anticipation is growing for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. As announced a few hours ago, the writers of the series have officially set to work on the latest episodes, which will only be released on Netflix in the course of 2024. Given the long wait, the most avid Stranger Things fans just have to look at the released episodes. , perhaps hunting for some clues on what will be the great epilogue of the series. Some Twitter users, not surprisingly, have launched a fan theory that, if it were true, would reveal a preview of the villain of the fifth season!

Will the dragon Borys be the nemesis of the fifth season of Stranger Things?

In the eighth episode of the fourth season of Stranger Things, we saw Will comforting Mike in the Surfer Boy Pizza van about the fate that awaits Eleven and all of them. At one point, she shows him the painting she made for him, passing it off as a work by Eleven.

The painting depicts Mike leading his friends – in medieval attire – in the fight against a three-headed dragon. According to some Twitter users, the aforementioned painting – clearly inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons game – could be something of a prophecy. If so, the protagonists of Stranger Things in the last season could be confronted with the most powerful nemesis of D&D, namely Borys, the Witch King of Ur Draxa.

A decidedly interesting fan theory that becomes even more credible if we consider two factors. In the first seasons of the series, we saw how powerful the bond between Will and the Upside Down is, a bond that has often manifested itself through the drawings Will himself made. Also, as if that were not enough, we must not forget the words of Nancy Wheeler in the fourth season of the series.

The girl, in fact, speaks of “A giant monster with wide-open jaws” after being possessed by Vecna, who showed her the destruction of her that she would have sown in that of Hawkins. In short, if two clues prove it, the enemy of the last season of Stranger Things will be him: the dragon Borys!

Blonde, Ana De Armas, and Marilyn Monroe in the movie trailer

Hollywood and the Academy have often and willingly shown their appreciation of transformers, that is, those actors and actresses who step into the role of the characters they play – especially if these characters really existed – that they get lost in them. Think of Gary Oldman (2019) and Rami Malek (2020) Oscar double, incredible at almost literally bringing Winston Churchill and Freddie Mercury to life.

Will Ana De Armas join such a list? Her interpretation of Marilyn Monroe promised to be impressive in terms of physical adherence to the original right from the images released. Blonde‘s first trailer – which you can see below – seems to confirm this.

Ana De Armas is more similar to the original than the original

It almost seems a contradiction, but seeing the trailer, the doubt arises that the Marilyn Monroe on stage is the real Marilyn who died in the early sixties and not an actress who looks like her. Recall that the film is based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates and will be presented in competition at the Venice International Film Festival. The release of the film on Netflix is then scheduled for September 28th. Directed by Andrew Dominik, Blonde stars, in addition to Ana De Armas, also Bobby Cannavale (Joe di Maggio) and Adrien Brody (Arthur Miller).

Reading the synopsis of the film, we discover that “Blonde boldly reinvents the life of one of Hollywood’s most legendary icons: Marilyn Monroe. From her unpredictable childhood as Norma Jeane, through her rise to fame and sentimental ties, Blonde mixes reality and fiction to explore the ever-widening difference between the actress’s public and private image “.

The author of the novel from which the film is based spoke of a feminist film: “The way the Kennedys treated Marilyn Monroe was not and still is not very different from the way many powerful men, especially in Washington DC; treating all women, with the exception of their wives “.

Netflix will release the most expensive movie in its history: 'The Gray Man' with Ryan Gosling

Image Credit: Netflix

With a cost of USD 200 million, the brother Joe and Anthony Russo adapted the novel by Mark Greaney, part of a saga that promises a franchise about this CIA special agent. Also starring are Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Regé-Jean Page, and Billy Bob Thornton.

Will it be like the James Bond movies? Like those of the CIA operative Jack Ryan, like those of the amnesiac Jason Bourne? The Gray Man has sparked these and other speculations since Netflix showed the first images in his video to announce the 2022 releases. There Ryan Gosling is seen as Court Gentry, a CIA killer in conflict with an old colleague, Lloyd Hansen, played by Chris Evans, in spectacular action scenes followed by sarcastic dialogue.

The shots show what the USD 200 million budget of the film by the brothers Joe and Anthony Russo has been spent on, the most expensive production to date on the streaming platform, which has even surpassed the USD 160 million record of Red Notice, starring Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds. And the display of action and stars leaves the impression that the production company is starting a film franchise. Additionally, The Gray Man is based on a novel by Mark Greaney that is part of a 10-book series.

Not only are the protagonists Gosling (La la land, Blade Runner 2049) and Evans (Free Guy, Between Razors and Secrets), and the directors (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Endgame), but also a good part of the Main cast: Ana de Armas (No time to die), Regé-Jean Page (Bridgerton) and Billy Bob Thornton (Goliath).

They are accompanied by Jessica Henwick (Matrix Resurrections), Wagner Moura (Narcos), Alfre Woodard (Luke Cage), Julia Butters (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Eme Ikwuakor (On My Block), and Scott Haze (Child of God).

The path of The Gray Man was not easy until it became one of the most anticipated titles of 2022. It was originally going to be produced by New Regency and directed by James Gray (Ad Astra), with Brad Pitt as the protagonist. But the project fell apart around 2011. Sony Pictures picked it up again in 2015, with a gender change: it would be a CIA special agent, played by Charlize Theron, instead of Pitt’s character. The Russo brothers moved forward with the script but production was once again put on hold.

Netflix brought back The Gray Man in 2020, confirmed the Russos as directors, and added the authors of the Captain America film trilogy, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, as screenwriters. The third time was the charm, and everything indicates that it will be, in turn, the first of a saga.

The Gray Man focuses on Gentry, who uncovers CIA secrets that he would have been better off not knowing for his own health. He becomes a target of international assassins while Hansen goes out looking for him. If the film follows the book, the former intelligence operatives will compete for a similar goal on different stages of Europe.

In late 2021, Joe Russo compared the dynamic between Gosling and Evans to that of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in Heat: “It’s an intense action movie,” he said in an interview. “With very, very entertaining performances from both actors, who are totally at odds over the plot. Chris Evans as the villain brings a deliciously psychotic twist.”

Filming took place over four months of 2021 on location in the Czech Republic and France. Editing, which began in December of that year, requires a lot of visual and sound effects work and is still ongoing. It is expected – but there is no reliable data yet – that the premiere will be in the boreal summer of 2022, towards the middle of the year.

What is expected from season 2 of "All of Us Are Dead"?

Lee Jae-kyoo, the director of the Netflix series, spoke about what would be seen in a possible continuation

Netflix hasn’t yet signaled a renewal for All of Us Are Dead, but its popularity on the platform could be key to getting that long-awaited sequel. Is the team behind the production okay with moving on? In fact, the director Lee Jae-kyoo confessed that the project was born to be able to enlarge the story with at least one more season.

The television adaptation of Joo Dong-Geun‘s webtoon premiered at the end of January and is already on the list of the most-watched non-English speaking series on the streaming service. In the Top that groups only ten titles, they lead The Squid Game and the last three parts of Money Heist, two productions with wide success since they became a worldwide phenomenon; although the fiction of the zombie genre is not far from achieving it as well.

For that reason, Lee did not rule out the development of more episodes in an interview with the Korea Herald. “Many directions, settings, and scenes were intentionally produced to expand the story into an additional season, including the introduction of new zombie races: immune and immortal,” said the filmmaker, referring to the variants of the virus that were tested through three high school characters

“If the first season can be considered to have featured the survival of humanity, the next season can be about the survival of zombies. I look forward to introducing viewers to another season,” he added. The end of All of Us Are Dead confirmed that Nam-ra is still alive and has been recruiting kids like her (half-human, half-zombie) in the areas bombed by the South Korean army, so it wouldn’t be strange if this group now be threatened by the uninfected.

Why did ‘All of Us Are Dead’ started with the origin of the virus?

The beginning of the South Korean series is far from how its author captures it in the digital comic because he had no intention – from the first moment – of giving a reason for the creation of the zombie virus. In the TV version, the opposite happens, since we see how the science teacher’s son is a victim of bullying and that becomes a reason for him to start experimenting on his son so that he never dies.

“The origin of the zombie virus was introduced in the series as an attempt to highlight the people who take responsibility and those who do not when an event occurs, such as school violence,” said director Lee Jae-kyoo about this decision. narrative. “Even though it’s another zombie action thriller, I think the series gives viewers a chance to analyze what kind of people they are,” he said.

All the chapters of We are dead are available to watch on Netflix.

This is the first trailer for 'The Adam Project', the new film by Ryan Reynolds

Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, and Zoe Saldaña accompany the “Deadpool” actor in the new Netflix movie, one of the great releases of 2022 that is soon to arrive. The platform also presented new images and the poster

After announcing with amazing images the premiere of The Adam Project, on March 11, Netflix presented the first trailer of this ambitious project full of stars: the protagonist of Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds, and two figures from the sagas of Marvel, Mark Ruffalo, and Zoe Saldana. They are accompanied by Jennifer Garner.

During the filming of Free Guy, director Shawn Levy tempted Reynolds with this sci-fi time travel story. Now he returns to work with the Canadian in the adventure of a pilot from the year 2050, Adam Reed (Reynolds), who embarks on a secret mission to the past to prevent his love interest, Laura (Saldaña), from suffering an accident and save humanity. But something goes wrong during the time travel, and Adam finds himself, injured and with his ship damaged, in 2022. He appears in a garage, which Adam Reed then enters: himself, in his 12-year-old version (Walker Scobell ).

In addition to the fantastic elements, the story delves into the way we build memory: memories are a clipping from the past, not the events as someone else saw them. Adam has the opportunity to return to personally contrast the differences in perspectives.

Adam’s father, Louis (Ruffalo), was a scientist, and his work was based on time-travel technology that began shortly after his death, a year before adult Adam’s accidental arrival at the garage of the family home. childhood. Adam boy thinks of his father with sadness: he loves him and misses him very much. He takes out his frustration on fights at school and challenges his mother (Garner). Reynolds’s Adam, on the other hand, remembers him with resentment, as an absent father.

That difference makes for a terrible first impression: how could the same person have such divergent memories of his father? Despite that, the two Reeds embark on an adventure in the past to right the course of everything that was about to go wrong.

The question of parent-child relationships is one of the elements that drew Reynolds to The Adam Project, as he told Vanity Fair: “I have this idea about life, which is that we tell ourselves stories. So we have this central character who’s been told a story about his father, which isn’t necessarily true. I know I have done that in my life. I have told myself stories to justify things about my father and the complicated relationship I had with him before his death.”

The Adam project is produced by David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Shawn Levy, and Reynolds himself. With the trailer, the new images, and this poster, Netflix confirmed the arrival of the title on its platform on March 11.

''All of Us Are Dead'': the differences between the Netflix series and the webtoon

The South Korean horror fiction is among the most viewed on the platform since it premiered on January 28

The zombie genre made a strong comeback to the South Korean film and television industry with the latest hit All of Us Are Dead, the new series that ranks on Netflix‘s most-watched list. The story is based on Joo Dong-Geun’s Now at Our School webtoon and recreates various scenes from the digital comic in the small-screen adaptation.

However, it is not exactly the same in every way, we tell you what are the biggest differences between the original material and the television production starring Park Ji-hoo, Yoon Chan-young, Lee Yoo-mi, Jo, Yi-Hyun, Lomon, Yoo In-soo, Cho Yi-Hyun and Son Sang-Yeon.

Dong-Geun’s comic begins as an ordinary day for the students of Hyosan High School, while the TV version began with one of the events that led the science teacher, Lee ByeongChan, to work on the development.

of the virus: the bullying of his son, JinSu, and the recent attack that almost caused his death. In the initial scenes, it is observed that the man takes the young man from the hospital in a suitcase after he began to transform. Therefore, it is understood that the teacher was experimenting on him for reasons that are deepened much more during the season.

NamRa is not so lonely

In the All of Us Are Dead episodes, the class president, NamRa, is a lonely girl who doesn’t maintain any friendships with her classmates and is criticized for supposedly feeling superior to others because of the fame her mother has gained through her large donations. On the other hand, she has a different personality in the graphic story, as she does have some interactions with other students like NaYeon and GyeongSu.

The macabre rumor about the science teacher

The talk at school about Lee ByeongChan in the webtoon is much more exaggerated than in the Netflix adaptation. It is believed that he eats human flesh and that could be a reason behind the mysterious disappearance of his wife, but in the K-drama, it is seen that the rumors occur more around what happened to his son. JinSu tried to commit suicide due to the mistreatment he received from his classmates, but soon disappeared, so the teacher would be planning revenge against the group of bullies.

The symptoms of the zombie virus

Are the symptoms before the transformation into an undead the same? Actually, Joo Dong-Geun’s comic initially proposed that these happen gradually and some are different from what is seen in the TV series. Instead of the body temperature dropping, the infected can also have a high fever, and another difference also lies in how aware the students remain when communicating after being bitten by a zombie.

The spread of the virus in All of Us Are Dead happens much faster, a narrative decision that could be the result of a need to speed up the action… It’s a zombie story and the audience wants to see them panic! However, later, we see that the infection does not happen in the same way in everyone and certain people tend to generate some immunity, although they can still infect others through a bite.

All episodes of All of Us Are Dead are available to watch on Netflix.
