During its five-year journey, the Enterprise encountered many unusual events, and Star Trek often explored different types of stories. While generally considered science fiction, the original series (TOS) frequently borrowed elements from fantasy, and even included some horror episodes. However, the first attempt at a scary story in the franchise wasn’t very successful.
Over the years, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have gone through several different versions on screen. There have been the original live-action trilogy, one animated reboot, another pair of live-action films, and most recently, the animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Thankfully, Mutant Mayhem is widely considered the best TMNT movie yet, and it’s already led to both a TV series and plans for a sequel. While the sequel seems promising, it wouldn’t be the first TMNT movie to be canceled during production if things unfortunately fell apart – though that’s not expected to happen.
Here are five Square games that still hold up today. Although many Final Fantasy titles could be included, I’ve limited it to just one. If you’d rather play a different Final Fantasy game from the 90s, feel free to swap it in – it won’t significantly change the list.
Viola Davis and Julius Tennon’s production company, JuVee Productions, is adapting the Afro-fantasy graphic novel The Untamed: A Sinner’s Prayer into a film, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The comic, a revenge thriller created by Sebastian A. Jones, was self-published. Jones, who has been creating comics in this universe for a decade through his company Stranger Comics, will also write the screenplay and direct the movie.
Like many popular young adult movies and series, this show was based on a successful book series, which already gave it a built-in fanbase. However, the show’s strong quality is what really made it a hit. It includes all the familiar elements of post-apocalyptic young adult stories – a group of teens battling to save humanity, over-the-top villains, surprisingly intricate political maneuvering, and genuinely moving character deaths. The 100 was a prime example of the wave of young adult adaptations on television in the 2010s, and even though that trend has faded, the show remains incredibly compelling to watch.
Mike Flanagan’s upcoming projects largely center around the works of Stephen King. He’s currently finishing an adaptation of Carrie for Amazon Prime Video, expected in 2026, and is also developing The Dark Tower. Recently, he announced he’s working on a version of The Mist. Beyond adaptations, Flanagan has created impressive original content, like Oculus, which shares a similar style and intensity with The Haunting of Hill House.
Tony Gilroy revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he faced restrictions on discussing key themes while promoting Star Wars: Andor. The show, available on Disney+, centered on a rebellion against fascism – a core element of the original Star Wars trilogy, where the Emperor represented oppressive authority and Darth Vader enforced it. Despite this central theme, Gilroy wasn’t permitted to openly discuss the series’ anti-fascist message.
So, we were chatting about how Scream 7 seems to be leaning into more personal stories, and it got me thinking. I asked Chris if he ever thought we might get a Hackers sequel, especially with everything going on in the world today. Turns out, Iain Softley – the original director – actually has a script! Chris and he were just talking about it, and they both feel like now would be the perfect time to revisit that world. He wasn’t sure about getting Angelina Jolie and Johnny Lee Miller back, but he definitely said he’s ready and willing to hack the planet again, which, as a fan, is all I needed to hear!
As a huge movie fan, I was really bummed to hear that two of my favorites, Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction and Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, are leaving Netflix on March 1st. The Wolf of Wall Street is this wild ride set in 1987, following a young guy named Jordan Belfort as he climbs the ranks on Wall Street. He eventually starts his own company, Stratton Oakmont, with the goal of making a fortune – and they do, by basically cheating rich investors out of millions. It’s a crazy story of excess, with a lot of partying, but the SEC and FBI are hot on his trail the whole time. Pulp Fiction, meanwhile, is just iconic. It weaves together the stories of a couple of hitmen who love to philosophize, their boss—a gangster named Marsellus Wallace—his wife, a boxer down on his luck, a guy who can fix anything, and some really nervous robbers. It’s a brilliantly interconnected and unforgettable film.
Throughout the team’s history, several key members have seemingly died in dramatic fashion, causing significant shifts within the group. However, they’ve all eventually returned. These seven X-Men have each faced death and lived to share their experiences.
