The 1997 film is the first sequel in the popular Scream series, which is getting its seventh installment in theaters on February 27th. The movie brings back Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, now a college student, and focuses on a new group of friends she’s with who are targeted by a new Ghostface killer – along with her boyfriend, Derek Feldman (played by Jerry O’Connell).
The new project clearly draws inspiration from The X-Files, swapping aliens for more mysterious, supernatural events. Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach novels – especially the first book, Annihilation, which was adapted into a highly praised film – also had a significant impact. Another key influence was Roadside Picnic, a novel that inspired Andrei Tarkovsky’s classic film Stalker, which in turn inspired the video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

For the past year, rumors have circulated that Thor’s story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe would end with Avengers: Doomsday. However, Chris Hemsworth recently clarified on the Smartless podcast that he’ll be continuing as Thor for at least a couple more movies after the current storyline. This indicates Marvel Studios, led by Kevin Feige, has plans for the character even after Avengers: Secret Wars reboots the timeline. While the studio has successfully adapted storylines like Ragnarok and The Mighty Thor, there are still many important Thor arcs from the Marvel comics that haven’t been adapted for the big screen yet.
After much discussion, it’s now official: a new Klingon character in Star Trek is LGBTQ+. While it hasn’t been specified if Jay-Den Kraag (played by Karim Diane) is gay, bisexual, or pansexual, the seventh episode of Starfleet Academy strongly suggests a romantic relationship with human War College student Kyle Djokovic. Furthermore, Karim Diane’s co-star, George Hawkins, has confirmed Jay-Den is also attracted to Khionian student Darem, stating there is “romantic interest” between them.
Currently, Sam Wilson doesn’t feel like a strong leader for the Avengers – he seems more like an extra character. This isn’t a problem with the character himself, but with how the story has been written in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The franchise hasn’t fully realized Sam Wilson’s potential.
