Marvel Entertainment posted a 10-hour video on YouTube featuring Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing from The Fantastic Four. The video, titled “Fantastic Four’s Ben ‘The Thing’ Grimm Waiting | 10-Hour Peaceful Ambient Noises | Marvel Ambiance,” simply shows Ben Grimm, in costume, standing in the kitchen of the Baxter Building. He remains silent while peaceful background sounds and a ticking clock play throughout.

According to What’s on Netflix, the sci-fi movie Ready Player One will be available on Netflix starting November 1st. Released in 2018, the film is based on Ernest Cline’s 2011 novel and tells the story of Wade Watts, a teenage orphan played by Tye Sheridan, who searches for clues to win control of a massive virtual reality world called the OASIS. The movie is set in a future version of 1945, where people are extremely nostalgic for the past, making it a great project for director Steven Spielberg, known for his popular films from that era.

I’m really excited about this new series Fox is making called Memory of a Killer! It stars Guy Dempsey and Michael Imperioli, and it’s based on a fantastic Belgian thriller from 2003 called De Zaak Alzheimer (or La Mémoire Du Tueur). They haven’t announced an exact release date yet, but the buzz is it’ll probably hit screens in January 2026. I’m already marking my calendar!

In Taylor Swift’s music video for “Fortnight,” Hawke and Josh Charles made cameos, which created a very fun Easter egg for Dead Poets Society. Speaking to Parade about that cameo, and why they were asked to do it, Hawke said:

Mike Flanagan is currently involved in several projects based on the works of Stephen King, including a TV series adaptation of The Dark Tower. He’s also revisiting Carrie, a story that’s been adapted for the screen before, as a limited series. Flanagan recently announced on Instagram that filming for Carrie has finished.

After Marvel Studios revealed the Fantastic Four would be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans spent years speculating about who would play the team. Many actors were rumored for the role of Mister Fantastic, including Adam Driver, Dev Patel, and Matt Smith, but it turns out Tom Ellis, known for his role in Lucifer, also tried out for the part. The official cast was finally revealed on Valentine’s Day 2024.

The film Deliver Me From Nowhere isn’t a typical biography of Bruce Springsteen’s rise to fame. Instead, it centers on a particularly challenging period in his life. Following the success of albums like Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and The River, Springsteen took a risk with Nebraska – a stark, stripped-down album recorded without his E Street Band. Based on Warren Zanes’ book, the film reveals Springsteen’s personal struggles with his father as he wrote Nebraska in isolation at a rented house.

During NCIS Seasons 14 through 18, Wickersham got to work with David J. North, who came back to the show after being a producer during Seasons 6 and 7. This time, North started out as a consulting producer, and was a co-executive producer by the time the actress left. These days, he’s serving as NCIS: Origins’ co-showrunner alongside Gina Lucita Monreal, but he just got to hang out Wickersham once again, as he shared on his Instagram Stories:

The “Yostverse,” a term coined after writer-producer Christopher Yost, wasn’t built on big crossover events or a rigid timeline like the recent MCU Multiverse Saga. Instead, its success came from creators giving animated stories the same care and detail as the original comic books. Both Wolverine and the X-Men and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes felt connected and flowed naturally – you didn’t need to be an expert to follow along, just enjoy the characters.

Robert Mitchum first gained recognition in genre films, particularly noir and westerns, which often shared a similar dark and gritty style. Even when appearing in lower-budget “B-movies,” he consistently delivered strong performances, creating characters that were complex and compelling. Both Mitchum himself and the roles he played possessed a powerful and captivating presence.
