Jason Statham and David Ayer have found a pretty reliable groove together, so it’s not exactly shocking to see them lining up another movie.

Now the project is officially moving forward, with Miramax and Black Bear taking it to Cannes. According to Deadline, Ayer will direct…

But while Imu’s reveal was a grand moment for the One Piece fandom, there’s something to be said about the keen investigation the series’ most intrepid fans understood as Imu’s initial visual teases emerged. After all, this is…

Although the settings and specific genre trappings vary, time-loop films are generally united by the theme of bettering oneself in order to improve your circumstances or alter your perspective on life going forward, should you ever escape the fantastical situation that’s causing you to repeat the same week, day or even two-minute period over and over. Exit 8 isn’t quite structured like a traditional time-loop film, but there’s enough temporal mischief amid this psychological horror’s creepy delights to ultimately qualify as one. And changing one’s mind about how to approach your hopeful future is absolutely key to the movie’s ideas beyond…

In recent years, many miniseries have earned awards and acclaim, hailed by audiences and critics alike as some of the best shows of all time. A few of them, like Netflix’s Emmy-winning drama Adolescence, have even gone on to have a significant social impact, sparking important conversations about society’s most pressing issues. But as much as we love these popular shows, there are also a ton of great miniseries that haven’t received the attention they deserve. Some of these are niche gems that flew under the radar, and others are acclaimed hits that were wildly popular at one point but…

Streaming platform Apple TV has rapidly become the king of excellent sci-fi TV shows, from the experimental Foundation to the dystopian Silo, as the platform has, so far, avoided canceling excellent sci-fi series before they have the chance to grow an audience. This is great news for some of the best hidden gem sci-fi shows on TV, because while some series, like Pluribus, instantly find success, others need more time to attract an audience. One of these is an underrated sci-fi comedy starring Alexander Skarsgård. Murderbot is about a self-aware security android (Skarsgård) who gains sentience. However, rather than going…

The same goes for The Green Knight and even his lacklustre take on Peter Pan, Wendy and Peter. Spirits and spectres, literal and metaphorical, are the lifeblood of his films, and in Mother Mary, the thread that keeps Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) and Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel) tethered to one another, even years after their acrimonious creative divorce.The global pop star and her erstwhile best friend/​costume designer haven’t spoken in years…
