Weekly wrap up: Halloween 2, Scrawl and MOMO

I was on vacation for a good part of the week, and missed the boat on a few bits of entertainment news. Figured today was a good opportunity to play a little catch up. Below are the stories I think are worth following up with heading into the weekend.

Halloween 2 starts filming this fall

Yup, when a movie makes more than $200 million on a $10 million budget, you're gonna get a sequel. Blumhouse announced this week that a follow up to its critically and financially successful rebirth of the Halloween franchise films this fall, with a targeted October 2020 release. And yes, Jamie Lee Curtis will return as Laurie Strode. Judy Greer and Andi Matichak also return. No word yet if David Gordon Green and Danny McBride will be back creatively. I'm hoping they are, and I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

Daisy Ridley stars in gore-filled horror movie?

Say what now? Star Wars star Daisy Ridley made a horror movie? Yes, yes she did. But she made it before she starred as Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, and the film is just hitting screens now, likely to take advantage of The Rise of Skywalker's pending release. It looks pretty low budget, but not without interest. Check it:

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
