It’s Harry Potter … but different.With no new books on the horizon, and with the Fantastic Beasts film franchise sputtering, Warner Bros. made the decision to take Harry Potter where it hadn’t gone before: Television. They’re rebooting the whole franchise as a series for HBO. It’s the same story you know, with each book spread across an entire season of television, with a new cast.So the first trailer for Harry Potter on TV looks familiar. It’s got all the same beats, just with actors like Dominic McLaughlin in the place of Daniel Radcliffe as Harry. Maybe the biggest change is the show’s title; unlike the film…

Following many unofficial set images and leaks, we finally got our first official glimpse at the new HBO adaptation of all seven of the Harry Potter novels this week. Showcasing Dominic McLaughlin’s titular Boy Who Lived in his Quidditch robes, clutching his Nimbus 2000 and about to enter the pitch, the image oozes quality and is a far cry from the cozy vibes of the first movie. On first impressions alone, fans are particularly impressed, illustrated by social media’s ability to leave the overwhelming controversy alone for a short while following the image’s release. As a huge risk for HBO,…

Anti-heroes make for compelling subjects, particularly in a world as unjust as the one we live in, and 1970s American cinema has absolutely no shortage of them. Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire revisits the era by dramatising an infamous 1977 hostage stand-off staged by Tony Kiritsis, who rigged mortgage broker Richard Hall – who he believed was responsible for his property foreclosure – to a shotgun in a desperate plea for “justice”. It’s a story of righteous anger curdling into empty spectacle; one that ought to crackle with danger and relevance, given the rapturous reception that Luigi Mangione received after shooting a pharmaceutical executive…

ZEP is quickly emerging as one of 2026’s most exciting breakout artists. The Dutch singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist has built a reputation for bold, genre-blurring production that fuses alt-rock grit with hip-hop, electronic and bass-heavy experimentation. Raised around live music as the son of Vankatoen frontman Bazz Barnasconi and later studying at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, ZEP developed a deep musical foundation before carving out his own lane. Following the success of “NOBODY” — which has surpassed 6.5 million streams — and the viral “DON’T BREAK,” which exploded across social media and the breakdancing community, ZEP has continued his ascent with…

In the final months in the run-up to the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, Rockstar Games has found itself in hot water once again following an investigation by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the tax department of the UK government. Spotted by the Daily Mirror, the report reveals that Rockstar was one of 389 companies who owed a substantial amount of money to its employees, and as a result, are facing harsh penalties.

From there, he goes into seclusion in the dry Southwestern landscapes that likely remind him most of home, inadvertently retreating further from his mission and his sense of self over months, then years, then decades. The film’s other characters decay alongside him: A college professor (a wonderful Rip Torn) staves off intellectual and ethical stagnation through sex; Mary-Lou’s boozing wastes her youth and innocence, and Farnsworth’s life is shattered by his economic success. Repeated references to Icarus accompany Newton’s downfall as he allows himself to be picked up by Mary-Lou, slowly picks up a booze and TV habit, and is ultimate eviscerated…
