The 1997 film I Know What You Did Last Summer started with a novel of the same name by Lois Duncan, but the movie’s story quickly diverged from the book. Screenwriter Kevin Williamson, who had recently found success with Scream, used a similar approach to create this slasher film, loosely basing it on the original story.
What’s great about anthology shows is that each episode features a completely fresh story with new characters and settings. This allows Netflix’s sci-fi series Love, Death & Robots, which has four seasons, to constantly offer something new and surprising – it never gets stuck repeating old ideas or storylines.
Michael J. Fox became a major star in 1985 with the film Back to the Future, quickly establishing himself as a leading comedic actor. He continued to star in many successful movies throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and also took on more serious, dramatic roles. In the late 1990s, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease, which led to him working less frequently.
Recent issues of X-Men (#24, by Jed MacKay, Tony S. Daniel, Mark Morales, Fernando Sifuentes, and Clayton Cowles) show internal conflict within the mutant terrorist group 3K. However, the fighting stops abruptly with the unexpected arrival of their Chairman: the original Beast, Hank McCoy. What’s worse, this version of Beast is already aware of everything that’s coming in the Age of Revelation.
Movies that accurately capture a specific time period tend to be successful – think of how Hot Tub Time Machine led to a sequel. But if a film gets the era wrong, like Saltburn‘s portrayal of the 2000s, it quickly fades from memory. Election, on the other hand, perfectly embodies the 1990s, doing a better job than any other film.
This time, the danger isn’t criminals like Liam Neeson usually faces. Instead, it’s a deadly, fast-spreading fungus that breaks loose from a frozen storage facility. Two employees, Keery and Naomi, must fight to contain it, and they’ll need help from Neeson’s character, a retired expert in biological threats, to prevent a global disaster.
I remember when Suspect first came out – it was a pretty solid courtroom drama, nothing groundbreaking, but definitely better than average. It got a 71% on Rotten Tomatoes, which was good! But honestly, I’m shocked to see it’s suddenly become a huge hit on streaming now, almost 40 years later, considering it didn’t do amazingly in theaters back then. It’s a really pleasant surprise!
Crime has been a popular subject in movies since the very beginning of filmmaking. In fact, early Westerns, like The Great Train Robbery, can also be seen as a type of crime film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Aja is now involved in the project, but it’s unknown why the original director, Xavier Gens, has left. Gens previously mentioned that any sequels would be set in a completely flooded Paris. The film, originally titled Sous la Seine (meaning Under the Seine), centers on a marine researcher named Sophia who must confront her past to protect Paris from a mutated, freshwater shark. It’s a classic low-budget streaming movie that cleverly incorporated the 2024 Summer Olympics – and concerns about the Seine’s water quality – into the plot as a reason for the monster’s appearance.
An executive at Walt Disney Animation Studios hinted that the studio is planning a new visual style for its future films. Jared Bush, the studio’s Chief Creative Officer, recently discussed the success of Zootopia 2 and other Disney projects on The Town podcast. The conversation turned to anime, and Bush then suggested that Disney is working on “a really exciting evolution in the way that [their] movies look.”
