The story of *In The Lost Lands* centers on Gray Alys, a powerful and enigmatic witch who poses a challenge to the ruling Church in one of the last remaining civilizations. Alys possessed the ability to grant any wish, and could not deny a request. The narrative kicks off when the Queen seeks a unique favor from Alys, leading her to cross paths with Boyce, a mysterious Hunter. Together, they embark on a journey to the legendary Lost Lands to fulfill the Queen’s desire. While *In The Lost Lands* features a complicated conclusion, the story feels somewhat hurried due to its limited length. Here’s a breakdown of how George R.R. Martin’s original story concluded.

Despite having a great cast, a compelling story, and mostly good reviews, the historical drama *The Last Duel* didn’t do well in theaters. Now, the film has a second opportunity to find an audience, as it becomes available to stream on Hulu starting November 1st.

The latest episode seems to have revealed the series’ main villain. Like the previous big bad, Ryomen Sukuna, this new enemy, named Dabura, appears incredibly powerful and frightening. Fans have noted that while Dabura’s design is reminiscent of Sukuna, his name and origins connect to the popular anime *Dragon Ball*. He shares a name with Dabura, a former Demon King from *Dragon Ball Z* and the upcoming series *Dragon Ball Daima*.

I’ve always been a fan of the MonsterVerse movies, but I’ve noticed they often prioritize spectacle over a truly moving story. *Godzilla: King of the Monsters* felt like its human characters were just there while everything was being destroyed, and *Kong: Skull Island* hinted at bigger ideas but never quite landed emotionally. But honestly, *Monarch* feels different. It really grounds the whole franchise by focusing on the people caught up in all the monster action, giving everything more weight. The story centers around Colonel Lee Shaw, played brilliantly by Kurt Russell, and seeing his life unfold is fascinating. What’s even cooler is that Kurt’s real-life son, Wyatt Russell, plays a younger version of Shaw! It’s a neat trick, but it also feels meaningful – a father and son portraying one character across time, which really speaks to the idea of legacy that’s at the heart of the series.

Starting November 1st, you can watch *A Knight’s Tale* on Hulu. The movie features Heath Ledger as William Thatcher, a commoner who disguises himself as a knight to compete in jousting tournaments and encounters famous people from history, like Geoffrey Chaucer (played by Paul Bettany). The cast also includes James Purefoy (known for *Pennyworth*), Mark Addy, Alan Tudyk (*I, Robot*), and Rufus Sewell (from Netflix’s *The Diplomat*).

With the PC release of *Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive* just weeks away, the game’s developers at Netmarble recently shared a new interview detailing the difficulties they faced during development. They also discussed the game’s planned specifications, promising a high-quality experience that will impress players. The team emphasized a focus on immersive gameplay and detailed combat, and hinted at extensive character customization options, allowing players to create their own personalized version of the main character.

At New York Comic-Con (NYCC), TopMob spoke with Amir Talai about what’s next for the character Alastor in Season 2 of the popular animated series, especially after his significant loss to an angel.

According to a recent Instagram post by Fischer, Steve Carell attended one of the last performances of her new play, *Ashland Avenue*. The post features a video of Carell surprising Fischer backstage after the show, and Fischer captioned it with a nod to *The Office* – referencing the Season 3 episode, “Business School,” with the line, “Look who came to my art show.”

The story of *Chad Powers* isn’t a direct retelling of Eli Manning’s life; it reimagines his career as a college athlete, allowing the creators to add a story of overcoming challenges. Usually, changes like this would indicate a focus on spectacle over substance – a “Hollywoodification” where the core truth is lost. But *Chad Powers* is different. It avoids a common pitfall of many recent sports-based projects by staying true to its core message.

When asked if any actors influenced how long their characters lived on the show, *Invasion* co-creator Simon Kinberg explained that some characters were originally only meant to survive for a short time. He used Enver Gjokaj’s character as an example, saying they hadn’t planned for him to make it past the first season. The same was true for India Brown’s character, Jamila, who was also only intended to appear in the first season.
