I like the mystique that Peele's projects carry, especially in the lead-up to release. Reminds me of the way old school directors operated. Not a single clue as to what he has cooking up in 2026 but I'm IN.

Orphan 3' Officially Announced, Lionsgate Launching Horror Threequel at AFM (EXCLUSIVE)
Story by Alex RitmanThe third film in the cult "Orphan" horror franchise has been officially green lit, with Isabelle Fuhrman - recently seen in Kevin Costner's "Horizon" - returning to play her iconic role of Esther and "Orphan: First Kill's" writer David Coggeshall ("The Family Plan") and director William Brent Bell ("The Boy" franchise) also back behind the camera.
The feature - of which plot details are currently being kept under wraps - was announced by production banner Dark Castle Entertainment, with Lionsgate set to launch the project at the American Film Market this week.
"Dark Castle is excited to announce another terrifying chapter in the ‘Orphan' saga," said Norman Golightly, Co-CEO of Dark Castle Entertainment. "With the past success of the first two movies and another thrilling storyline, we are confident that ‘Orphan 3' will be a must-see movie for both current fans of the franchise, and new fans alike."
Dark Castle is producing "Orphan 3" with Alex Mace of Gnosis Films. David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick will also serve as an executive producer. Lionsgate is handling international sales.
The "Orphan" franchise has grossed a combined $125 million worldwide to date. The first film, which became a cult hit after its release in 2009, followed a husband and wife who in the wake of losing their baby, adopt a nine-year-old- girl who is not nearly as innocent as she claims to be. The movie, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, starred Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard and a young Fuhrman and opened to $12.8 million domestic, finaled at $41.5 million, and neared $78 million worldwide. The second film, the prequel "Orphan: First Kill," followed Fuhrman's Leena as she escapes an Estonian psychiatric facility by pretending to be the missing daughter of a wealthy family. Her new life comes with unexpected problems when a mother protects her family at any cost. The film was released in 2022 day-and-date theatrically and on Paramount+ and went on to gross over $45 million worldwide.
Fuhrman, whose credits also include "The Hunger Games," "The Novice" and Showtime's "Masters Of Sex," is repped by UTA and Luber Roklin. Bell, also behind titles including "Lord Of Misrule," "The Devil Inside" and "Stay Alive," is represented by CAA, Range Media Partners, Mortimer PR, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman Wertheimer Mandelbaum Morris Bernstein Trattner Auerbach Hynick Jaime LeVine Sample & Klein.

It gets entertaining about 50 minutes in. I wouldn't necessarily call it good. The first 50 minutes are similar to the first movie but it goes in a fun direction. Julia Stiles is good.

I might do a back to back this week. I liked the first one.
okay -
Finished my Wishmaster Walkthrough
This series could have been classic if they didn't cheap out.
I think it needs an update
Andrew Divoffs' Djinn could have been up there - with Chucky, Pinhead Leatherface , Freddy and Jason if they hadn't cheaped out
Wishmaster
Had Angus Scrimm as the narrator, Tony Todd, Robert Englund and Kane Hodder in supprting roles
built up the lore and had some pretty entertaining Kills. Decent overall intro flick
the way he turned the outcomes of the wishes on people was funny as hell.
Wishmaster 2:
The Evil (fukkery) never dies
This one is damn near a comedy , a bloody one, but still a comedy.
Andrew Divoff definitely ramped up the camp in this one.
when ol' dude said he wished his lawyer would go fukk himself and the actual scene happens is peak fukkery
Had the Deebo and Bokeen Woodbine stimi
.But the fukkery is wild, you can just ignore the weaknesses.
Wishmaster 3: Beyond the gates of Hell (Boredom)
this could have been a Lifetime Movie
The Actor that played the Djinn Changed , they must have ran out of budget
The bad guy reminded me of the John Simm version of the master in Doctor who
Upped the Pawg Factor in this one , and added some nudity , but it can't improve it
Tried to add to the lore , but its just so cheap, boring kills - its a slog to get through as well.
Wishmaster 4: The (fukkery) Prophecy fullfilled
If 3 was Lifetime , this one may be Tubi level
The main bad guy actor is at least entertaining ( Andrew Divoff clone) , decent kill effects
but the story is lackluster, The Djinn was about to give up his evil ways for a Pawg
I can definitely see why this is the last one in the series.
May re vist Phantasm next

I grabbed this series off your post and it looks fun. Saw one of the death scenes and was
The Orphan franchise shuffling from Warner Bros to Paramount and now to Lionsgate. I still can’t shake off just how ridiculous the father in the first flick was moving.
Felt like Radio Silence couldn’t help but dive back into that world between Samara popping up in the latest Scream and the exploding vampire gags in Abigail. The latter film shares the same universe even.

Not as violent and gory as I hoped it would be, but it was a funny horror. It knew not to take itself seriously.

Leave it to the presidential election being the scariest thing I’ve watched all year.
