A new, enigmatic film about finding evidence of alien life arrives in theaters on June 12, 2026, and is already generating buzz as one of the director’s most unsettling science fiction projects. Even just glimpses from the trailer have people talking. This naturally leads to thinking about the most memorable and chilling scenes from the director’s previous alien films – the ones that really made audiences wonder if we’re truly alone in the universe, and perhaps hope we aren’t.

Netflix has greenlit a new series called The God of the Woods, based on the popular novel by Liz Moore. Liz Hannah and Liz Moore will co-showrun and executive produce the adaptation, with Neal H.

Morai the Messenger shared a sneak peek on X of the set for Ahsoka Season 2’s Peridea location. It’s significantly different from Season 1 – this time, Lucasfilm constructed blue screens around a large outdoor set in the U.K., rather than using the virtual production technology (the Volume) on indoor soundstages in Los Angeles.

Throughout the series, a constant feeling of tension builds, perfectly matching the setting of Wind Gap, Missouri – a town where what people seem like is more important than reality. With strong performances, a detailed and believable world, and a shocking twist ending, Sharp Objects is a thriller that’s better than many thriller movies, and easily earns its impressive 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

With season 2 of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, the show is successfully building a connection between fans of Young Sheldon and the McAllister family.

For comparison, the first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home – a film that eventually earned $1.9 billion worldwide – received 355.5 million views in its first 24 hours.

The song playing at the very end of The Breakfast Club is ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me).’ It plays during the scene where he’s reading his letter to the principal, and perfectly matches the final freeze-frame of the raised fist – it’s a really iconic moment.
