INFIDEL #1

A MINI-SERIES of a different kind this week, with the release of Infidel, pictured.

Described as a ‘haunted house story for the 21st century’, Infidel tells the story of Aisha, an American Muslim living with her husband, step-daughter, and mother-in-law in an apartment building in New York.

While on the surface things look perfect, scratch the veneer and you uncover distrust, suspicion and family discord.

To make matters worse, Aisha is having nightmares which she believes are being fed by the building’s grisly history.

This five-part series is a writing debut from editor Pornsak Pichetshote, with hauntingly beautiful artwork by Aaron Campbell. Priced at £3.35, Infidel #1 is out now.

SHIA-ING AWAY

ACTOR-turned performance artist Shia LeBeouf, right, has a new project on the go.

The Transformers star has penned a biopic, Honey Boy, about himself and he’s cast Lady Bird’s Lucas Hedges to play him. In an even stranger move, LeBeouf has cast himself in the role of his own father.

Director Alma Har’el is attached to helm the project, which has been on Hollywood’s Black List – a pool of excellent, unproduced screenplays – for a while now and could be about to make the leap to the big screen.

Variety reports the story follows a child star attempting to mend his relationship with his “law-breaking, alcohol-abusing father” over a decade.

CONSTANTINE SURPRISE

HIS Scouse accent may have been all over the place, but I did shed a tear when Matt Ryan’s John Constantine series was axed.

But there’s good news, the character has been promoted to series regular for the fourth season of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Matt, above, will reprise the role of the demon hunter, joining Brandon Routh, Tala Ashe and Dominic Purcell.

Ryan is voicing the character in a new animated series on streaming service CW Seed, too.
