One of the top contenders for this year's Oscars could have had an ending… with vampires

The movie Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, has been known for its stressful viewing experience and memorable moments that have resonated in the minds of viewers. However, in a recent appearance on a podcast, Safdie revealed that the ending of the film could have been remarkably different. Originally, the script contemplated an epilogue in which an aged Marty, played by Timothée Chalamet, encounters Milton Rockwell, his antagonist played by Kevin O’Leary, who bites him; a twist that introduced a supernatural element into the narrative.

The movie Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, has been known for its stressful viewing experience and memorable moments that have resonated in the minds of viewers. However, in a recent appearance on a podcast, Safdie revealed that the ending of the film could have been remarkably different. Originally, the script included an epilogue in which an aged Marty, played by Timothée Chalamet, encounters Milton Rockwell, his antagonist played by Kevin O’Leary, who bites him; a twist that introduced a supernatural element into the narrative.

Marty Vampire

O’Leary, known as Mr. Wonderful on the show Shark Tank, improvised a line about being a vampire during one of his interactions with Marty, which surprisingly was not just an eccentricity. In that tense moment of the movie, Rockwell says: I was born in 1601. I am a vampire. I have been here forever, hinting at a real threat and a dark background. Although this line seemed to be an exaggeration about his power and wealth, it was thought to represent a literal curse for Marty, plunging him into the undead life.

Safdie confirmed that prosthetics had been made for Timothée Chalamet and it was planned for the scene to culminate with Rockwell biting Marty. However, this sequence was removed from the final cut. Although the final result of the film decided not to include this supernatural twist, the tension and drama remain at the forefront, providing an appropriate closure to the protagonist’s tumultuous journey.

The revelation of this possible alternative direction suggests that Marty Supreme could have taken a much more extravagant and unconventional path, although many fans are likely relieved that the story maintained its focus on the emotional reality of the protagonist, without the need for fangs.

After almost seven years since its debut, the series The Boys comes to its conclusion with season 5, which will premiere on April 8, 2026. During the Comic-Con Experience (CCXP), Amazon Prime Video announced the release date and shared a shocking trailer for this final installment of the violent and provocative superhero satire.

We will still have to wait almost half a year

Season 5 will consist of several episodes, starting with the premiere of the first two on April 8 and continuing with a weekly episode until culminating on May 20, promising an “unforgettable and epic finale.” This comes after the extraordinary conclusion of season 4, which left the main characters in critical situations, facing the consequences of a plan by the character Butcher to eliminate the Supes.

In the teaser for this new season, it shows how each character has been affected by the new world dominated by Patriota. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie find themselves in a “freedom field,” while Annie struggles to organize a resistance and Kimiko remains missing. In this context, Butcher returns determined to use a virus to eliminate all Supers, which promises to intensify the conflicts and tension of the series.

The main cast is still led by Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, and Antony Starr, with new faces joining such as Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins, who recall their partnership in Supernatural. Other cast members include Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, and Jensen Ackles, along with new additions like Deveed Diggs and Mason Dye. Eric Kripke continues at the helm as showrunner, ensuring the continuity of the creative vision that has defined this cult series.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars in this remake of one of the most iconic horror movies of the 90s

There are movies that, although they succeeded and had a great cultural impact at the time, perhaps are not as remembered today. It could be because they dealt with very specific themes of their time, because they had a large marketing object behind them rather than artistic quality, or because they resonated with something that has not been replicated in other generations, but sometimes it happens. And one of those movies is The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Released in 1992, this film directed by Curtis Hanson and Amanda Silver was a resounding success with critics and audiences. Considered the most relevant horror film of […]

There are movies that, although they succeeded and had a great cultural impact at the time, perhaps are not as remembered today. This may be because they dealt with very specific themes of their time, because they had a large marketing object behind them rather than artistic quality, or because they resonated with something that has not been replicated in other generations, but sometimes it happens. And one of those movies is The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.

Released in 1992, this film directed by Curtis Hanson and Amanda Silver was a resounding success with both critics and audiences. Considered the most relevant horror film of its year and grossing 140 million dollars on a budget of less than 12, it was an absolute success.

But the film also dealt with hard themes that, outside of the wild principles of the 90s, are difficult to sell to a large audience. Telling the story of a pregnant woman who suffers a miscarriage after her husband’s suicide, an obstetrician accused of inappropriate sexual conduct, the woman, losing her mind due to what happened, decides to infiltrate the family of the woman who accused her family, posing as a full-time nanny, to destroy her from within. At any cost.

The film is bloody, brutal, and does not hold back in its representation of women. Something that earned it much criticism at the time and in the years that followed, making its re-release and acceptance into the canon of great thriller and horror films difficult. Even major comedy series of our time, such as The Simpsons and Family Guy, both have episodes dedicated to parodying the film.

A movie that still has effects even today

That has not prevented the film from maintaining a cult following and recognition as one of the great films of the early 90s. And for good reasons. That’s why it’s not surprising that some have decided to rescue it.

In 2014, the writer of Supernatural, Daniel Loflin, along with the producer of the original movie, Ted Field, expressed interest in making a remake of the film. In development by ABC Family, it never came to fruition, even though the reasons for this particular project not materializing have never been known.

But on September 26, 2024, a new remake of the film was announced in development by Disney through 20th Century Studios. Starring Maika Monroe and directed by Michelle Garza Cervera with Micah Bloomberg on the script, the film has a confirmed release date of November 19 on Disney+

What can we expect from this remake? Considering Cervera’s previous film, we can expect it to remain a dark and brutal movie, even under the Disney label. And given the significant impact the original film had, we can expect this remake to make a big impression on the general audience, if it manages to evoke the same anxiety it induced in the original viewers. And to find out, we just have to log into Disney+ to confirm it.
