Upon entry, every attendee will be handed an exclusive, custom-engineered scratch-and-sniff card divided into specific, numbered panels. Audiences must watch the screen closely; when a corresponding cue flashes mid-scene, it’s your green light to scratch the matching card block.
Fans are guessing what the localized cards contain.. maybe the clinical, sterile sting of laboratory chemicals .. fresh neon-green stabilizers to the nauseatingly sweet aroma of Hollywood dressing room perfumes, overripe food, and iron-heavy puddles of stage blood..
The movie has already become one of the highest grossing horror films of all time .. and now an extra cut is is going to be re-released this week making the film even more potentially popular amongst hardcore fans..
The studio is giving its breakout horror hit an extended theatrical re-release, dubbed the “Everything Must Go Edition,” arriving Friday, July 3, with 15 minutes of bonus footage and a new runtime of two hours and six minutes…
Welcome to the world of expansion pack rereleases..
Harbour and Brown will return for a show based on the book SPY IN THE BLOOD..
Netflix has given a straight-to-series order to a father-daughter espionage thriller starring Stranger Things‘ Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour from Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne, A24 and studio-based producer Joe Hipps.
SPY IN THE BLOOD…
According to the summary for the new series, “Disgraced FBI agent turned security expert Matt Wolfe is drawn back into the world he left behind when his estranged daughter, Rebecca — now an FBI agent determined to follow in his footsteps — vanishes on a mission, forcing him back into a field that has evolved beyond him.”
More from the PR being released about the new show:
“We are delighted to bring this spy drama to life with an extraordinary group of talent we’ve been fortunate to collaborate with before,” Netflix Head of Scripted Series, US and Canada, said. “Jack Thorne’s ability to find the deeply human story inside a thriller is unmatched, and watching Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour reunite — this time as estranged father and daughter on opposite sides of a crisis — is something audiences are going to love. A24 is the perfect partner to bring this story to our members around the world.”
Season 3 was epic.. and it all happened on July 4 in 2019.. that really was the summer that changed everything.
Everyone talks about that magical year when Stranger Things 4 arrived and completely took over pop culture, but I want to go back a little further. I want to talk about Stranger Things 3 and the summer of 2019, because for a lot of us, that was the summer that changed everything.
Think about the build-up. The excitement.. the freshness of what was coming.
This was Stranger Things embracing something completely different. Gone was the darker isolation of previous seasons and in came bright neon colors, the Great American mall, summer romance, arcades, and a season built around the idea that the kids of Hawkins thought they had already defeated the evil… without realizing something even worse was quietly waiting beneath the surface.
It gave us Starcourt Mall, one of the great fictional monuments to 1980s Americana. It gave us Fourth of July fireworks exploding over Hawkins while chaos unfolded underneath it all. It gave us a corrupt mayor bought and paid for, secret Russian experiments hidden underground, and finally let Murray become something more than just comic relief as his character began to fully develop.
Even the monsters felt fresh. And then it happened.
July 4th, 2019.
The day Stranger Things 3 was released, right in the middle of summer, and somehow everything about that moment just felt perfect.
There was something magical about that summer. Maybe it was where we all were in life. Maybe it was the anticipation of a huge cultural event landing at exactly the right moment.. the posters, the fireworks, that unforgettable trailer, the colors, the music, the atmosphere. It all clicked.
Even if you think Stranger Things 3 was not the strongest season, and many fans will argue the other seasons were better, there is something undeniably nostalgic about that summer and what it represented.
It embedded itself in our brains. Hard to believe now, but it has been ten years since Stranger Things first premiered.
And seven summers since the summer that changed everything. The truth is simple.
We will probably never experience something quite like that again.
