Quick News: Kent, Marathon, Hades, Exorcist
Untitled Jennifer Kent Project
“The Babadook” and “The Nightingale” director Jennifer Kent looks to finally be returning to directing after eight years since her last feature, revealing the news on the Blank Check podcast.
She says she is “working on a sci-fi film that looks to be shooting this year”, and it is an adaptation, but further details are under wraps. She was linked to an adaptation of Clive Barker’s fantasy-horror novel “The Thief of Always” back in 2024.
Marathon
Norway-based Alinea Analytics is estimating that Bungie‘s online first-person extraction shooter “Marathon” has sold around 1.2 million copies thus far and generated gross revenues of $55 million to date. The game is reportedly maintaining at a level of around 345,000 daily active users.
More interesting though, is that they indicate around two-thirds of those sales, 800,000 copies, came from Steam and only 217,000 copies (19%) were from PS5. That’s a reversal of the biggest-selling PlayStation single-player games, where PC only account for a sub-10% share of a title’s sales. PlayStation Studios has already indicated that their live service and multiplayer titles will be Day One multiplatform in the future. [Source: Alinea Analytics]
Hades II
Supergiant Games has confirmed that “Hades II” will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on April 14th – arriving six months after the title launched on PC early access in May 2024 and as a Nintendo console exclusive on September 2025. Both versions will play at 120 FPS.
The Exorcist
More set photos are out from filmmaker Mike Flanagan’s new take on “The Exorcist” which is currently filming in New York. Scarlett Johansson and her stunt doubles can be seen in the photo, the character totting a gun as she runs for a scene.
Jacobi Jupe, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Laurence Fishburne, John Leguizamo, Carla Gugino, Rahul Kohli, Hamish Linklater, Sasha Calle, Samantha Sloyan and Diane Lane co-star in the film, which is expected to be an original story. The film opens in cinemas on March 12th 2027.
