HBO is well-known for its fantasy shows, and Game of Thrones is arguably the most famous. Adapted from George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the show aired for eight seasons between 2011 and 2019. While Game of Thrones was incredibly popular and critically acclaimed, many viewers were disappointed with how the series concluded.
It’s clear the actor’s career has changed significantly, and Project Hail Mary really showcases that transformation. Many would say this is his biggest leading role yet, particularly in a mainstream, genre film.
Corvette (Palmer) dreams of becoming a fashion designer, but for now, she and her friends Sade (Naomie Ackie) and Mariah (Taylour Paige) make money by stealing clothes and reselling them. They call themselves the Velvet Gang and are focused on targeting Metro Fashions, a high-end clothing store owned by the demanding Christine Smith (played by Moore). Christine is a tough, controlling businesswoman who exploits both the people who make her clothes and the retail workers who sell them, all to push her trendy, but cheaply made, collections. Outside of running a questionable pyramid scheme disguised as a support group (led by a surprisingly unrecognizable Don Cheadle), Corvette tries to escape debt by selling Christine’s clothes to locals at a significantly lower price. Sade jokingly calls this their mission the “three Fs”: Fashion, Forward, and Philanthropy – though she quickly assures everyone she can spell ‘philanthropy’.
As a total film buff, I remember 1999 so well! It felt like a turning point in movies, especially with horror. We had these huge hits like The Sixth Sense and The Blair Witch Project that really shook things up, but there were still plenty of solid, familiar thrillers like The General’s Daughter and The Bone Collector that audiences loved. But that year also brought something totally different – a movie that really messed with your head. It posed this fascinating, unsettling question: what if the hero of the story was also a murderer, and somehow got away with it?
Bringing back the cast of Firefly as animated versions of their characters is the most practical way to revive the show. The original actors are now much older than they were during the show’s single season, and sadly, one of them, Ron Glass who played Shepherd Book, is no longer with us.
In the 2026 horror sequel, Newton will play Faith MacCaullay, the long-lost sister of Samara Weaving’s character, Grace. Ready or Not 2 continues the story right after the first film, where Grace barely escaped a deadly game with her husband’s family, only to be captured again by a secret society of incredibly wealthy and influential people. Now, handcuffed to her sister Faith, Grace must work with her if they want to survive this new, dangerous hunt, which could potentially give Grace control of the world if she wins.
It’s been wonderful to see classic stories updated for today’s viewers, but reimagining them is surprisingly difficult. Most reboots or revivals don’t become huge successes, and even fewer manage to maintain that success long-term, as we saw with the end of the 2023 Night Court run on network television. However, one show has consistently excelled at this trend since 2024, and it’s continuing to do so in the 2025-2026 television season.
The experienced director recently shared a picture on social media of the Israeli actress, reimagined as Wonder Woman with a Batman-inspired look. He’s been posting a lot of photos from his ‘Snyderverse’ projects to connect with his followers lately.
I’m so thrilled to hear that Netflix has officially greenlit a second season of Free Bert! It’s fantastic news, especially considering how popular the first season became – it really resonated with a lot of viewers, and I’m so excited to see what happens next!
In an interview with Collider, Greg Yaitanes, director of both Marshals and Dutton Ranch, discussed whether Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) might appear in Dutton Ranch or Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) in Marshals. He believes Kayce’s appearance in Dutton Ranch is more probable, given the storylines of both shows.
