Since word broke earlier this year that multiple studios and Hollywood bigwigs were vying for the opportunity to return audiences to the world of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, fans of the iconic horror flick have been waiting patiently to learn more. Most recently, it was rumored that Strange Darling scribe and director, J.T. Mollner would stand at the helm of the reboot with industry favorite, Glen Powell, leading the cast. Today, thanks to a conversation between the latter and Collider’s Perri Nemiroff during the press junket for Powell’s upcoming Stephen King adaptation, The Running Man, we’ve got a better idea…

Laurence Fishburne’s Regis has officially been introduced in The Witcher season 4. This installment has been a massive shift for the Netflix series, beginning with Henry Cavill’s departure and the recasting of Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia. Then, there are the transitions within the story itself. Many of the central characters have gone their separate ways, temporarily, and a host of new faces have been added to the mix. Among the new characters in The Witcher season 4 is Regis, a mysterious medicine man whom Geralt and his companions come across on their journey to find Ciri. This character…

In the game of poker, the ultimate question is whether at the end of the day one should twist or stick. The same logic applies to narrative cinema – should the screenwriter pull the rug out from under the audience’s feet and force them to question everything they’ve seen prior to that moment, or should they stay the course and follow the path they’ve been cultivating for the previous 90-or-so minutes? David Mackenzie’s Relay is a corporate espionage thriller which is faced with such a conundrum and is eventually forced to make a choice. We won’t say the way it goes, but in terms of…

From Free Money to New ProblemsEstonia’s tech-savvy director Rain Rannu returns with Uus Raha (New Money), a sharp and hilarious sequel to his 2022 hit Free Money. This time, the story asks a bigger, funnier, and more existential question: what happens after you actually get rich?Equal parts social satire, relationship comedy, and digital-age morality play, Uus Raha is a witty, heartfelt reflection on sudden wealth, modern greed, and the absurdity of success in the crypto era.When mild-mannered IT specialist Taavi (Märt Pius) and his idealistic wife Liisa (Steffi Pähn) wake up one morning to find 50 million euros mysteriously deposited into their bank account, their…

Before smartphones and Amazon, there was one place to be on a Saturday afternoon in the ’90s — the mall.It wasn’t just for shopping either. It’s where we went to socialize. Friendships made there, crushes were formed, and it’s where we got some of our first tastes of freedom.YOU MIGHT LIKE: The Classic ’90s Horror Movies That Gave Us NightmaresOur parents would drop us off at the entrance with a $20 bill and in we went with our independence.

Much like the entire Star Wars franchise as a whole, the most popular sci-fi IP of all time’s track record on Disney+ has had highs and lows. For every hit, like the masterfully crafted Andor and The Mandalorian’s reliable entertainment, there is the underwhelming The Book of Boba Fett and the missed opportunity that was Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, one show that has consistently delivered in its first two seasons has also been the most surprising. First released in 2021, Season 1 of Star Wars: Visions brought in some of the biggest names in Japanese animation, giving them free rein to…

Much of the manhwa readers of the world can commonly agree that Solo Leveling is a great gateway series, but not perhaps the ultimate offering of the medium. The series handles its concepts exceptionally well, rewarding readers who stick around for the long haul with more than the average power fantasy. But manhwa is more than aura and leveling up. It’s certainly true that the medium is saturated with hits capitalizing on popular formulas like isekai, villainess, and apocalyptic urban fantasy. At this point, it’s part of their charm as they still work to subvert reader expectations and continue to…
