Faces of Death

Barbie Ferreira stumbles across some dark web snuff, sampling the original film’s Dr. Francis B. Gröss, in a new clip from the Faces of Death remake.

Pushing Daisies

In a recent interview with Comic Book, Lee Pace stated he’d “love” to return for Bryan Fuller’s intended third season of Pushing Daisies.

I’ve talked to Bryan about what his story is, and it sounds super fun. I loved playing that character. I fell in love with Anna Friel when we got to work together on that show. It was a really important time in my life, very special time.

I would love to get back to it. I would love to. It would be such a dream to get back with those actors and, of course, be back on set with my good friend, Bryan Fuller. So I hope he succeeds.
