In 1998, Alex Proyas, the director of The Crow, created another visually striking and thought-provoking film, this time a dark science fiction noir. Similar to his earlier work, the film features a grim, urban setting, but with a completely original concept: a city that mysteriously rebuilds itself overnight. The story centers around citizens being secretly reprogrammed by a shadowy organization conducting experiments on humanity. While the film’s complex themes might have been ahead of its time, it’s gained a dedicated following over the years. In fact, it was so well-received that renowned critic Roger Ebert contributed commentary to the DVD release, and people are still discovering and appreciating the movie today.

Lanterns, a new Green Lantern series from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television, is set to debut on HBO Max next year. The show is created by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, and will feature Kyle Chandler, known for his roles in Friday Night Lights and Manchester by the Sea, alongside Aaron Pierre, who has appeared in Rebel Ridge and Mufasa: The Lion King.

HBO just released a short sneak peek of their upcoming series, Lanterns, giving fans a taste of what’s to come before the official trailer drops tomorrow. You can watch the teaser below.

According to reports, the popular show Abbott Elementary will be back for a sixth season in 2026-27. This will likely bring the total number of episodes to over 100.

Netflix will soon release a series based on Jo Nesbø’s novel, The Devil’s Star, retitled Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole.

Starting with The Devil’s Star suggests they’re aiming for a particularly dark and intense first season.

Meanwhile, DC Comics has successfully created its own separate universe of stories with the Absolute Universe line, which has attracted both new and existing readers. Capitalizing on Marvel’s decision to conclude its Ultimate Universe, DC is now solidifying its position as the leading force in the comic book industry.

Keanu Reeves, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Tadanobu Asano starred in the 2013 film 47 Ronin, which is loosely based on a true story from 1701. The film tells the tale of 47 samurai who fought to avenge their fallen leader. While the movie takes some creative liberties – Keanu Reeves plays a character with a mixed background named Kai – it’s a fun action flick. If you’re looking for something to watch (and who isn’t when Keanu Reeves is involved!), it’s currently streaming on HBO Max and is a popular choice, ranking as the 10th most-watched movie on the platform worldwide.

Look, Taylor Sheridan exploded onto the scene with Yellowstone, and he hasn’t slowed down since. He’s become a real force in television, giving us shows like Lioness and Tulsa King. And Mayor of Kingstown, with Jeremy Renner, has really resonated with viewers. However, it’s been confirmed that season five will be the last – which is a shame, but I understand the need to wrap things up sometimes.
