In an interview with GamesRadar+, director Frank Darabont explained how crucial Stephen King’s approval was for his adaptation of the story, originally published under King’s pseudonym, Richard Bachman. Although the core story remains the same, the film does make some significant changes, and King reportedly supported Darabont’s vision, even praising the new ending.
Glen Powell is taking on the role of Ben Richards in a new film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Running Man, a story previously brought to the big screen in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Interestingly, the new film includes a playful nod to the original: Schwarzenegger appears briefly on a $100 bill. This raises the question: what role does he play in the movie?
The new show, Pluribus, stars Rhea Seehorn, known from Better Call Saul, as a deeply unhappy woman who notices everyone around her suddenly becoming overwhelmingly joyful for no apparent reason. Unlike typical end-of-the-world stories, the show explores whether a world filled with complete happiness and unity is something worth opposing—and for Seehorn’s character, it absolutely is.
The 2019 horror superhero-inspired film, Brightburn, is coming to Netflix.
Journalist and screenwriter Wallace, creator of the popular podcast Boomtown – which inspired the show Landman – also worked as a roughneck on oil rigs near his hometown of Andrews, Texas. At the Season Two premiere in New York City, he explained that the show’s success comes from audiences being interested in learning about different ways of life, and also relating to the hardworking people who form the foundation of the oil industry, contrasting them with the industry’s top executives.
The 23rd season of NCIS and the second season of NCIS: Origins will connect in a special crossover event. Mark Harmon will reprise his role as the older Leroy Jethro Gibbs, appearing in the Origins prequel, and several other beloved characters will return. Muse Watson will make a guest appearance as the older Mike Franks in a particularly inventive scene, but Roma Maffia, as Vera Strickland, will have the most significant role among the returning legacy characters. This crossover also provides an opportunity to finally resolve a storyline involving her character that was left unfinished over a decade ago.
The 1987 film was a commercial failure, earning less than half of its production cost at the box office. It tells the story of a group of children who must protect the world from a team-up of classic monsters bent on causing chaos. Although it didn’t succeed in theaters, the movie eventually gained popularity through home video and developed a dedicated fanbase who consider it a masterpiece – some even prefer it to The Goonies.
From the beginning, Star Wars: Visions has been promoted as a collection of animated shorts that aren’t part of the official Star Wars story. This meant you could watch any episode without needing to know anything about what came before. But the recently released Volume 3, which came out on October 29, 2025, includes three episodes that continue stories from previous installments of the series.
By this point in his career, Stanley Kubrick was taking increasingly long breaks between films. Four years passed between the release of A Clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon. He then waited five years for The Shining, seven for Full Metal Jacket, and a full twelve years before his last film, Eyes Wide Shut, came out in 1999. Sadly, he passed away just days after submitting the finished film to the studio.
Now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K UHD, this film marks a bit of a shift for Liam Neeson. Like Leslie Nielsen before him, Neeson was primarily a dramatic actor until the success of ‘Taken’ turned him into an action star. Though he’d seemed to move away from action roles, he was convinced to try comedy, following in Nielsen’s footsteps by playing the part with a completely serious demeanor. For Nielsen, this type of role, while defining his career, unfortunately meant he was never again seen as a serious dramatic actor. But times have changed, and Neeson does a great job as the son of Frank Drebin. He’s done comedy before, appearing in Seth MacFarlane’s ‘A Million Ways to Die in the West’ (2014), but this ‘Naked Gun’ remake is even better. It successfully captures the spirit and style of the original with its classic slapstick and silly humor. In a time when many movies are dark and serious, this film offers a delightfully dumb and refreshing escape, and audiences clearly agreed, with the film earning $102 million at the box office.
