Quick News: Supergirl, Possession, Interrogator, Artificial
Supergirl
Just like with “Superman” last year, this year’s “Supergirl” film will have a tie-in to the Puppy Bowl event, which is airing on Animal Planet on Super Bowl Sunday.
A ‘tease’ for the film will be shown during the event, but whether it will be just a recut version of the previous trailer or a whole new one – it’s not clear at present. The movie itself is slated to open June 26th, so a second trailer could feasibly launch this month. [Source: Superman Homepage]
Possession
Callum Turner (“Eternity”) and Margaret Qualley (“The Substance”) are in talks to star in the upcoming remake of Andzrej Żuławski’s 1981 mind-bending psychological thriller “Possession”. Parker Finn (“Smile”) pens and directs the film and will produce alongside Robert Pattinson.
Sam Neill starred in the original as a spy who has returned home to West Berlin to find his wife Anna (Isabelle Adjani) exhibiting disturbing behavior and asking for a divorce. Filming begins in the Summer. [Source: Nexus Point News]

Artificial
“Blur” and “Gorillaz” member Damon Albarn has revealed he’s currently working on the score for Luca Guadagnino’s “Artificial” at Amazon MGM Studios. The film is dubbed a dramedy about the brief executive clash around OpenAI boss Sam Altman (to be played by Andrew Garfield).
Albarn says: “I’m singing some songs and writing some electronic and orchestral backing”. Monica Barbaro, Yura Borisov, Cooper Koch, Cooper Hoffman, Ike Barinholtz, Jason Schwartzman, Billie Lourd, Zosia Mamet, Chris O’Dowd and Mark Rylance also star. [Source: Uncut]
