Hurley remembered enjoying the early scripts for *Breaking Bear*. She was particularly excited to learn Brendan Fraser would be involved. As she read, she immediately thought it was a good fit, noting the role wasn’t too different from her character in *Bedazzled* – another villainous part. She admitted she often enjoys playing bad characters, and working with Brendan Fraser felt natural, saying, ‘It’s just him. Old habits.’

The new movie *Tron: Ares* didn’t perform as well as hoped at the box office. It brought in $14.3 million on Friday (including previews from Thursday) and a total of $33.5 million over its opening weekend – about $10 million less than predicted. With a production budget of around $180 million, the film needs to make significantly more to be profitable, potentially putting future *Tron* movies at risk. Worldwide, the film has only earned $60.5 million, with $27 million coming from international showings.

The new series *The Last Frontier*, created by Jon Bokenkamp and Richard D’Ovidio, will begin streaming on Apple TV+ on October 17th. The show centers around U.S. Marshal Frank Remnick (played by Jason Clarke) and the chaos that ensues when a plane carrying dangerous prisoners crashes in Alaska. Before its first season even airs, *The Last Frontier* has received a 57% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

Sources say Keith Urban initiated divorce proceedings some time ago. He was on tour for much of the summer of 2025, and then reportedly moved into a separate residence. According to an insider, this move was a key sign that the couple wouldn’t be able to reconcile, as they told People magazine:

Released in 1983, *Deathstalker* features Rick Hill as the hero tasked by a witch with finding a chalice, amulet, and sword. An evil wizard holds two of these items. The film’s success is easy to understand, and it became a modest hit, earning $11.9 million worldwide despite only costing $457,000 to make. Financed by low-budget film expert Roger Corman, *Deathstalker* went on to generate three sequels between 1987 and 1991.

One of the strongest parts of the movie is Evan Peters’ portrayal of Julian Dillinger, a tech mogul and the grandson of the original *TRON* villain, Edward “Ed” Dillinger, Sr. Like his grandfather, Julian serves as the film’s main antagonist. He’s a brilliant innovator who has built his own digital world, separate from the one in the original *TRON*. Peters’ performance is so compelling that he’s quickly become a benchmark for sci-fi villains.

The series successfully draws viewers into the experiences of those interviewed and creates a chilling atmosphere through its reenactments, effectively placing them in a truly frightening situation. Unlike the problematic focus on the perpetrator in *Monster: The Ed Gein Story*, *True Haunting* focuses on supporting the victims. Though not flawless, horror fans would be better off watching *True Haunting* instead of *Monster*.

Five-time Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss recently surprised fans at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. She appeared as a scareactor, playing into the unsettling storyline she shared with the Wyatt Family in WWE. Universal Studios released video of Bliss hiding in the fog and frightening guests, fully embodying the creepy character she portrayed on television.

According to sources, New Line Cinema is moving forward with *Mortal Kombat III*, bringing back Jeremy Slater to write the screenplay. The announcement was made at New York Comic Con, and Warner Bros. is optimistic about the next installment in the series. The delay of *Mortal Kombat II* – pushed from October 2025 to May 2026 – allowed the studio time for evaluation, and the film’s teaser trailer was a huge success, garnering over 107 million views worldwide in just one day.

Similar to the upcoming HBO television series based on *Harry Potter*, the *Twilight* saga is getting a fresh start. Netflix will adapt Stephenie Meyer’s popular vampire romance into an animated series, drawing its story from her 2020 novel, *Midnight Sun*. This book retells the original *Twilight* story from Edward Cullen’s perspective. Meyer will be involved as an executive producer, and the series is expected to debut around 2026. Although not all *Twilight* fans are excited about this reboot, it’s a good moment to reflect on the franchise’s impressive success and how it quickly gained a dedicated following.
