Live-action Spider-Man movies have generally followed a similar pattern, even with different actors in the role – and they’ve done so successfully. However, the upcoming Spider-Man film appears to be heading in a new and potentially exciting, though slightly unsettling, direction.
With Scream 7 released, all eyes are now on Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, which arrives in theaters on March 20th. The sequel is directed by the same team as the first film – Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. The original Ready or Not was a big success back in 2019, earning $57 million at the box office despite only costing $6 million to make.
Readers who enjoy psychological thrillers probably already knew Gillian Flynn from her previous novels, Dark Places (2009) and her first book, Sharp Objects (2006). When Sharp Objects was first published, it received high praise, even from Stephen King, who called it both disturbing and impossible to put down.
The second season of the live-action One Piece series welcomes several new characters. While Tony Tony Chopper is the most confirmed addition, the show also introduces Lera Abova as Nico Robin and Martial T. Batchamen as Brook, both of whom will become key members of Luffy’s crew. Charithra Chandran joins the cast as Princess Vivi, who travels with the Straw Hat Pirates for a time but isn’t a permanent member.
Director: Luke Shanahan

This filmmaker is famous for launching hugely successful horror series like Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring. He’s also proven his ability to direct big-budget action movies, including Aquaman, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and the 2021 horror film Malignant. So, who could be a better choice to direct this action thriller, which combines a buddy-cop story with horror elements?
As a huge fan of the Kay Scarpetta novels, I’m thrilled to see the series finally get a TV adaptation! With almost 30 books in the series, there’s plenty of material to work with. What’s really interesting about the Prime Video series is that they’re tackling two books – Postmortem and the more recent Autopsy – at the same time. They’re telling the story across two timelines, showing Kay at different points in her life. Rosy McEwen is fantastic as the younger Kay, and it’s brilliant to see Nicole Kidman playing the older version of the character.
