Henry Cavill’s long-gestating Highlander reboot is now in the heat of production, and while it still does not have a spot on the release calendar, it can safely be considered one of the most anticipated movies in development right now. Backed by Amazon MGM, which shared new footage from the film earlier this week at CinemaCon, Highlander is a reboot of the 1986 film of the same name starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery. Chad Stahelski, famed for his work directing all four of the Keanu Reeves-led John Wick movies, has been tapped to direct Highlander with a script from…

Game of Thrones cast many well-known and respected actors, like Sean Bean, but made household names out of many of its newer stars, and none more so than Kit Harington. Jon Snow (Harington) is one of the few characters who survived the show’s famously high death count, and since then, he has gone from strength to strength. Kit Harington’s post-Game of Thrones roles have been extremely varied, as he moves further away from his morally sound and heroic character. This has led to some exciting new challenges for the actor. Harington has played a slimy businessman (Criminal: UK,) an Earth-exploiting…

FernGully was about the last rainforest. What this news presupposes is … maybe it wasn’t?That’s because Amazon MGM announced today they were remaking FernGully: The Last Rainforest, this time in “live action.” (It’s a movie about fairies and magical creatures and talking bats, so I’m guessing there will still be some special effects involved.)The new film will be directed by Marielle Heller, the director of films like The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, and the Mr. Rogers biopic A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. According to the press release, Heller also wrote the script for this new FernGully.READ MORE: The Best Movies to Show…

There’s something very dependable about a good heist movie. Get the right cast, give the job some style, add a detective closing in, and half the work is already done. Crime 101 seems to understand that better than most, because it plays straight into the appeal of cool, controlled criminal chaos without overcomplicating the pitch. The movie has climbed to No. 1 on Prime Video worldwide, which suggests audiences are fully on board for a polished crime thriller right now. It helps that the setup sounds like catnip for anyone who likes their genre movies sleek and a little dangerous.…

Pokémon Winds and Waves aren’t arriving until 2027, and in the meantime, we have a lot of speculation, rumors, and leaks to contend with. Quite a bit of the speculation has been pretty fun, especially regarding the new regional variants that are potentially coming when the Gen 10 games launch. So far, no regional variants have been officially confirmed, but considering they’ve been a part of all recent mainline games, we expect to see quite a few in Winds and Waves. From alleged leaks of a new Slugma to rumors of some Gen 1 fan-favorites getting makeovers, there’s been a…

Like boarding a flight for somewhere promising, only to be met with an emergency landing, Departures never quite reaches the emotional depth it sets out for. This collaboration between filmmaking duo Lloyd Eyre-Morgan and Neil Ely begins at the end, retelling its story in a way that is non-linear. As the film’s tagline reads, ​“They say the best way to move forward is to go back…”. Immediately, the directors set out their experimental ambitions, yet what follows struggles to maintain this initial intrigue.When Benji, played by Eyre-Morgan himself, meets the strapping Jake (David Tag) at an airport bar, the two go through a cycle of…

TOMORA  is the newly formed collaboration between Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers and Norwegian art-pop visionary AURORA. Described by the duo as a true band rather than a feature project, TOMORA represents a shared creative “landing zone” — a meeting point between Rowlands’ masterful electronic production and AURORA’s ethereal, emotionally charged vocal presence. Their debut album COME CLOSER  arrives April 17, created “without obligation or expectation,” rooted purely in joy and…

All actors start somewhere, even the super famous ones. Most of the time, your favorite celeb started out with bit roles and guest spots on police procedurals and network dramas before eventually getting top billing on a project where audiences actually notice them. In the era of streaming, that career path can be a little more meandering, or it can make a small actor into a major star overnight.We take them for granted now, but many of today’s major household names got their big breaks from Netflix, of all places. (Yes, there was a time when no one knew who…
