As a huge TMNT fan, I’m so excited to hear they’re making a new short film based on *Mutant Mayhem*! Apparently, the turtles are heading to New Jersey to investigate a mystery later this year, which sounds awesome. I can’t wait to see what trouble they get into!
The movie *Killing Faith* tells the story of a doctor who lost his wife and is now guiding a formerly enslaved woman and her daughter westward, hoping to reach a renowned faith healer. Along the way, the mother believes her child is possessed, while the doctor suspects a medical illness – and everything the daughter touches seems to wither and die. Written by Crowley and David Henri Martin, the film has received positive reviews, earning an 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 13 critic reviews. An audience score isn’t available yet, as fewer than 50 fans have rated it.
According to producer Ben Rosenblatt, the upcoming film *Predator: Badlands* is being targeted for a PG-13 rating. He explained that they’re aiming for a PG-13 experience that *feels* like an R-rated movie, hoping to reach a wider audience. Currently, the film hasn’t received a rating yet. Despite the potential for a lower rating, Rosenblatt suggests fans shouldn’t worry about a lack of intensity. The MPAA might allow more violence because the film features creatures rather than humans, and doesn’t prominently feature red blood.
The new Predator movie, titled Badlands, will be released in US cinemas next month. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg and produced by 20th Century Studios, the film features Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi and Elle Fanning.
While watching a recent episode of *Peacemaker* on Threads, James Gunn revealed that the Auggie Smith (White Dragon) viewers saw was the same one encountered by his Earth-X counterpart (Blue Dragon) years ago. Gunn also discussed the Auggie from *Peacemaker* Season 1, bluntly calling him the “worst character he’s ever created.”
Released in theaters on May 27, 2022, *Top Gun: Maverick* became a huge box office success, earning over $1.4 billion worldwide. It was the second highest-grossing film of the year, only behind James Cameron’s *Avatar: The Way of Water*. Before *Top Gun: Maverick*, Tom Cruise’s biggest hit was *Mission: Impossible – Fallout*, but the new *Top Gun* movie quickly surpassed it in earnings.
Sir Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are currently performing together in a Broadway production of Waiting for Godot. The play began performances last month and will run through January 2026.
After Jimmy Kimmel’s return to his late-night show following a highly publicized suspension, ABC presented it as a major success. Initially, this generated some interest and a short-term increase in viewers. However, ratings quickly plummeted, losing a staggering 85% of his core audience and falling back to levels that previously raised concerns about the show’s future.
The movie *The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes* was a success in theaters, reviving the world of Panem on the big screen. Actress Rachel Zegler faced significant backlash online over comments she made about the upcoming *Snow White* film, and has received a lot of negative attention for the past year. Actor Tom Blyth, in an interview with The Independent, discussed witnessing the online controversy surrounding his co-star.
