This Is Us Series Description, Courtesy of NBC:

Everyone has a family. And every family has a story. This Is Us chronicles the Pearson family across the decades: from Jack (Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Moore) as young parents in the 1980s to their kids (the big three), Kevin (Hartley), Kate (Metz) and Randall (Brown) searching for love and fulfillment in the present day along with Toby (Sullivan) and Beth (Kelechi Watson). This grounded, life-affirming dramedy reveals how the tiniest events in our lives impact who we become, and how the connections we share with each other can transcend time, distance, and even death.

What begins as just another horror film trailer filled with creepy creatures, ends with an “April Fools!” tag that reveals this El Chupacabras isn’t in fact the next Blumhouse production. Instead, the April Fools’ Day joke features footage from Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island, Insidious: The Last Key, The Lords of Salem, and Dark Skies, as well as stock footage from Shutterstock.

The press release accompanying the well done April Fools’ Day (I actually want to see this film!) claimed El Chupacabras was written, directed, and executive produced by Issa López, the filmmaker behind the supernatural film Tigers Are Not Afraid. The film’s described as a “secret project” with Blumhouse that’s targeting a summer 2021 release.

“As a Mexican filmmaker, I’m a firm believer there can never be enough movies about El Chupacabras,” said Issa Lopez, “and I’m here to deliver on that promise.”

“Just when you thought there was a movie I wouldn’t make — I present, El Chupacabras,” said Jason Blum.

Crimefighting technology has advanced dramatically over the last several years, and combined with classic CSI storytelling, we can’t wait to watch this new CSI team do what they do best: follow the evidence.”

CSI: Vegas will be a CBS Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer Television production. Jason Tracey is the showrunner and executive produces with Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, KristieAnne Reed, Anthony Zuiker, Carol Mendelsohn, Ann Donahue, Craig O’Neill, William Petersen, and Cindy Chvatal. Episode one will be directed by Uta Briesewitz.

“I’m excited to be bringing back the CSI franchise to all our fans who have been so loyal to us for all these years,” said Jerry Bruckheimer. “And to be back in Las Vegas where it all started over 20 years ago makes it even more special. We’ve enjoyed working on this project with CBS and look forward to welcoming back Billy, Jorja and Wallace as they join a new group of talented actors in CSI: Vegas.”

CBS offered this brief description of the upcoming new CSI series:

“CSI: Vegas opens a brand new chapter in Las Vegas, the city where it all began. Facing an existential threat that could bring down the Crime Lab, a brilliant new team of forensic investigators must welcome back old friends and deploy new techniques to preserve and serve justice in Sin City.”
