Adam Driver has said he wanted to revisit his Star Wars character, Kylo Ren, as early as 2021, feeling the story wasn’t fully resolved. He shared an idea with director Steven Soderbergh, who, along with Rebecca Blunt, developed a story outline and presented it to Lucasfilm. Lucasfilm executives Kathleen Kennedy, Cary Beck, and Dave Filoni were enthusiastic about the concept, leading Soderbergh and Blunt to bring in Scott Z. Burns to write a script Driver called incredibly impressive. Unfortunately, the project was ultimately cancelled, as the actor recalls.

After entering the public domain in 2024, the well-known short film has inspired several new horror movie remakes.

Sadly, Molino, who plays the character Lala Dominguez, wasn’t able to meet Tom Cruise when he visited the set. She was taking a much-needed break at the time, as she explained to me in our interview today.

Following the myriad behind-the-scenes complications that preceded the current iteration of Crystal Lake, Brad Caleb Kane took over as showrunner, one of my favorite TV leads (Linda Cardellini) was cast as Pamela Voorhees, and then production in earnest kicked off in April 2025. Now, a mere six months later, Kane took to Instagram to not only share pics alongside writer Laura Marks and stars Cardellini, Daniel Stewart Sherman, Joy Suprano and Cam Scoggs, but also to announce that Season 1 is more or less in the can. Here’s how he worded it:

While Cillian Murphy hasn’t typically played characters in long-running franchises, he’s become a frequent collaborator with director Christopher Nolan, appearing in blockbuster films like Inception, Dunkirk, and Oppenheimer. He’s deliberately avoided becoming involved with major franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, or Jurassic Park.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how heroes like All Might and Endeavor deal with villains, and while it feels good when they win with strength, I’m not sure it’s actually solving anything long-term. It’s like we’re stuck in this endless cycle of heroes fighting villains – a constant ‘cops and robbers’ scenario. It’s not that using force is wrong when someone’s in danger, but it feels like it’s all heroes do. They rely on it so much that it’s become a bigger problem, even at a place as relatively safe as UA High. It’s a systemic issue, and it worries me because it doesn’t address the root causes of villainy.

I’m a huge fan of Taylor Sheridan’s Tulsa King, and even though some reviews haven’t been as glowing lately, it’s still doing really well on Paramount+. I was thrilled to hear they’ve already renewed it for a fourth season, and now we’re getting a spinoff called NOLA King! Apparently, Sylvester Stallone is going to be leading the new series, and he recently talked to People magazine about how they made it work – even though some people might have thought casting him would be a bit strange at first. He explained how it all came together, and I can’t wait to see it!

True crime fans now anticipate highly dramatized versions of these stories, and while this approach has been popular, it’s also faced criticism. The families of Dahmer’s victims have stated that Ryan Murphy didn’t seek their permission to create the show or portray their loved ones, a claim Murphy disputes. Following their complaints, the Monster series saw a drop in viewers after its initial release, and this continued with The Ed Gein Story, which premiered on October 3rd. Viewers have noticed that the series often takes significant creative liberties, sometimes focusing more on the killers and even romanticizing them, instead of prioritizing the victims.

Compared to Vecna in season 4, the Demogorgon from season 1 seems much less threatening. Vecna, originally known as Henry Creel and once a test subject of Dr. Brenner, caused a terrible massacre at Hawkins Lab, which led to Eleven sending him to the Upside Down. The harsh environment of that dimension twisted him into the monstrous, vine-covered Vecna we see later, and he quickly began terrorizing Hawkins.

It’s understandable if you haven’t heard of this movie. Unlike popular horror films like The Exorcist, The Omen, and Rosemary’s Baby, The Sentinel hasn’t gained the same level of recognition or a large following.
