Okay, so 2025 might not be overflowing with romantic comedies, but I have to say, Regretting You actually surprised me with two compelling love stories, both pulled from Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us. You’ve got the sweet, youthful connection between Mason Thames and Mckenna Grace as Miller and Clara – honestly, I’m still thinking about their coming-of-age story – and then there’s the more established, complex relationship between Allison Williams and Dave Franco as Morgan and Jonah. I recently spoke with the cast for TopMob, and they revealed some interesting alternate directions they considered for Miller and Clara’s arc. Let’s dive into what I learned!

TV shows sometimes change genres for different reasons. Sometimes the story naturally evolves in a new direction, while other times a show has to change to stay on the air. Occasionally, a show simply loses its focus. While not all genre changes are failures, some have been clearly unsuccessful and didn’t need to happen.

Don’t expect any connections to previous films if you’re hoping for a sequel hinted at in Badlands. Early viewers report the movie doesn’t have a mid-credits or post-credits scene, meaning it appears to be a self-contained story with no immediate ties to the ‘Killer of Killers’ storyline – at least for now.

One of my all-time favorite movies from the 90s is Pump Up the Volume, another film starring Christian Slater that probably won’t ever get a sequel. While it wasn’t as popular as movies like Heathers, True Romance, or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, it had a surprisingly big impact on me. I recently rewatched it – I rented it online through Prime Video – and realized just how much it influenced me, even years later.

Andy Richter celebrated his 59th birthday on October 28th, and what better way to mark the occasion than with a performance on Dancing with the Stars? The show is set to air tonight as part of the 2025 TV lineup. Before that, Dancing with the Stars honored Richter’s birthday with a special post on their official Instagram account, including a photo of the Late Night star and a heartfelt message.

Perkins is poised for even greater success with their new film, releasing in theaters on November 14th. The movie, a collaboration with Neon, stars Tatiana Maslany as Liz and Rossif Sutherland as Malcolm. The story centers around a couple’s anniversary weekend at a remote cabin, where Malcolm leaves Liz alone to face a terrifying presence that reveals the cabin’s dark history. While the plot seems straightforward, it hints at a much deeper and more impactful horror experience. Following two recent critically acclaimed horror films, this new project, Keeper, reflects Perkins’ growing reputation for creating films that are not only frightening but also emotionally resonant.

Throughout season 3 of Will Trent, we saw Ormewood briefly date Ariana Madix, Amanda enter a relationship, and Faith explore dating several people. By the end of the season, most of the characters were single – except for Angie, who is expecting Seth’s child. However, just because they’re currently unattached doesn’t mean their past relationships should be revisited.

It’s hard to imagine a more perfect wedding crasher at a Hobbiton ceremony than Elijah Wood! As the star of the original Lord of the Rings trilogy (available on HBO Max), he didn’t come to steal the show – he made the already magical moment even more special. This heartwarming video shows him adding to the joy, not taking anything away.

Although Paradise season 2 was announced in February 2025, we haven’t heard much about it since, and there’s still no news on when it will be released. Luckily, while we’re waiting, there’s another exciting spy thriller gaining popularity on streaming services that we can enjoy.

Rose Byrne is joining Apple Original Films for a new version of the 1964 film, “That Man From Rio.” She’ll star in the movie and also work as an executive producer.
