Many viewers are starting to feel tired of superhero content, and a lot of fans believe the peak of most superhero TV shows has already passed. The announcement that Jessica Jones will appear in season two of Daredevil: Born Again would have been huge news five years ago, but now it doesn’t generate much excitement.
As a big fan of the Scream series, I was really excited to hear that Kevin Williamson – the writer behind the original and several other films in the franchise – is finally directing! The last two movies were great, handled by the team from Ready or Not, but having Williamson at the helm for Scream 7 feels like things are coming full circle. It’s awesome to see the person who created the world of Woodsboro taking on this new challenge.
Nicole Kidman has worked with A24 before, starring in their 2024 erotic thriller, Babygirl. The film received a 76% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and she won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival for her performance. Babygirl also proved to be a box office success, earning over $50 million.
The new horror film comes from Dave Caplan, the producer behind successful movies like Longlegs and The Monkey, and director Stephen Cognetti. Filming begins in September, and the story centers on Alice, who is haunted by a terrifying, laughing entity while guarding the body of an unknown miner in a secluded cabin. The plot follows Alice as strange occurrences lead her to believe the corpse isn’t truly dead, and the arrival of a mysterious woman near the forest pushes her into a terrifying reality where evil lurks both inside the cabin and just beyond her door.
For years, Dark Winds has been a hidden gem on television, consistently captivating audiences with each new season. Beyond its stunning visuals, the show boasts intelligent writing and a compelling story that builds suspense with every episode. Season 4 centers on Tony Hillerman’s novel The Ghostway from the Leaphorn & Chee series, sending our main characters to Los Angeles for the first time. This change of scenery introduces a gripping, city-based mystery that quickly takes over their lives.
For a long time, live-action adaptations of anime and manga have been consistently disappointing. Movies and shows like Dragonball Evolution, Ghost in the Shell, Netflix’s Death Note, and Cowboy Bebop all failed to capture the spirit of the originals. While Japan has had slightly more success with live-action versions of series like Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist, none have truly matched the quality of the anime or manga they were based on. It seemed like a truly good adaptation was impossible.
Good news for fans – a new show, CIA, is coming to CBS! Starring Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss, the series centers around CIA agent Colin Glass and FBI agent Bill Goodman as they investigate challenging cases. Originally planned for a fall release, the premiere was delayed due to changes in the cast and storyline. While it’s a bit different from how most network TV shows launch spinoffs, CIA still uses a successful formula from Wolf Entertainment.
Sony Pictures Animation has been consistently delivering fantastic animated films, including the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the critically acclaimed Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and the popular KPop Demon Hunters. When they brought on Dillihay, a director known for his work on Bob’s Burgers, alongside Curry, fans had high expectations for their next project.
Per Variety, a joint statement from P.T.A. and Phantom Thread composer Jonny Greenwood reads:
Many anime series now offer stories and characters just as captivating, or even better, than Berserk. While fans often consider moments like the Eclipse and Guts’ quest for revenge to be unmatched, it’s worth reconsidering that idea, especially given that Berserk’s manga first appeared 37 years ago.
