It’s natural for things like ideas, characters, and even lines from older works to feel outdated as time passes. Tastes change, and what’s popular now won’t necessarily stay that way. Just like some beloved ’90s anime don’t resonate as strongly with audiences today, we can expect even current favorites to feel different in the future.
Despite his changes, Wright actually has a lot of respect for the original Running Man film. This respect, and his appreciation for the original star, led him to include two subtle tributes in his new version. The film features nods to the actor who first played Ben Richards – Arnold Schwarzenegger appears on the film’s currency, and Glen Powell’s character delivers a line that acknowledges the original. Both of these details are fun, self-aware references that pay homage to the past.
Over the years, we’ve seen several different live-action Spider-Man movie series, plus animated films like Into the Spider-Verse. And that doesn’t even include all the times Spider-Man’s story has been restarted in the comics themselves. A writer recently expressed frustration with this pattern, particularly how often it happens within the comic books, telling PopVerse:
A seventh Sharknado movie is being made, bringing back the deadly combination of sharks and waterspouts! The first Sharknado film followed a hurricane in Los Angeles that swept thousands of sharks into tornadoes, causing chaos for the city’s residents. The upcoming movie, currently in development, is called Sharknado Origins.
Honestly, things started to go downhill for Joey about halfway through its second season. It actually went on a break for a while, but came back for one last episode in March 2006. Sadly, the ratings just kept dropping, and NBC ultimately cancelled it in May. It was a real shame because they’d already filmed eight more episodes that never got aired. It felt like the show never really had a chance to find its footing.
According to Deadline, the team who directed Dungeons & Dragons – Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley – will be directing a new Star Trek movie.

Even though the second season of Fallout doesn’t premiere until December 17th, viewers on Prime Video have pushed the first season into the top 10, making it the second most popular show on the platform this week. With the new season just a month away, it’s clear fans are excited for its return.
The director recently discussed Season 2 of The Creep Tapes on the Slasher Radio podcast, which launches today on Shudder. Both Brice and Duplass have expressed interest in bringing Duplass’ character, Peachfuzz, back for another movie sequel, but so far, fans have only seen the character appear in the TV series. When asked about the future of the film franchise and how the Shudder series fits in, Brice explained:
Even though the movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter presented a unique take on the 16th U.S. president, it’s recently gaining renewed attention thanks to HBO Max. The streaming service, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, currently shows the film at number 10 on its list of most popular movies among U.S. viewers.
The latest episode of Law & Order: SVU featured the show’s typical disturbing crimes, giving Captain Benson and her team a difficult case to solve. A highlight was the return of Fin Tutuola from medical leave – a welcome sight for fans. He quickly reconnected with Rollins, playfully challenged the new detective Griffin, and had some meaningful interactions with Benson. However, his return was short-lived, as he departed again. Fortunately, Ice-T hinted at positive developments for the show’s future in the 2026 season.
