Director of Sword & Sorcery Action Sequel Says “After Four Movies of Nudity” He Just Wanted Monsters

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.

Evan Peters Is Great, But Tron: Ares Proves He’s Sci-Fi’s New Gold Standard

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.

This Twilight Franchise Turned a $401M Budget to $3.3B (& It’s Still Untouchable)

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.

One Piece’s Next Devil Fruit Reveal Will Finally Make the World Government’s Nightmare a Reality

It’s highly probable that Prince Loki’s Devil Fruit is the key to his growing importance in the *One Piece* story, especially as the Elbaph Arc unfolds. While we don’t know the full extent of its power yet, fans believe it will be significant, considering both Loki’s strength and the legendary Rocks Pirates’ interest in it.

Ultimately, revealing the fruit’s abilities and how Loki uses them will likely cause the Five Elders even more concern than Luffy’s actions.
