While the past year was full of exciting new releases, 2026 looks a little quieter in comparison, with fewer projects scheduled to launch. However, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to look forward to! In this last article of the year, I’ll be focusing on four important projects that are expected to move forward soon. It’s a fascinating topic, so let’s get started!
I’ve been a journalist for twenty years, and this might be the most opinionated piece I’ve ever published.
The Kardashian-Jenner family started their holiday festivities on December 24th with their traditional Christmas Eve party.
Horror movies explored a wide range of styles, from darkly comedic and over-the-top to deeply unsettling and thought-provoking. Many of these films cleverly combined mainstream appeal with bold, innovative techniques. Even with strange or shocking ideas, they were skillfully made, drawing viewers into disturbing and memorable experiences that stay with them long after the movie ends.
As a fan, I was really disappointed with The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III. They just didn’t capture the magic of the first movie. Instead of being thrilling and unpredictable, the stories felt really familiar and predictable. One of them felt like it was just repeating the same ideas, and honestly, it was frustrating because I was hoping for something new. The other tried to be a simple dinosaur survival story, but it ended up feeling cheap and didn’t really make much of an impression. It’s a shame, because I heard the original script for Jurassic Park III was actually really promising, and the final movie just didn’t live up to that potential.
Like most large game companies, Blizzard has started many projects that were ultimately cancelled. Some, such as StarCraft: Ghost, have well-documented histories, but others were promising ideas that never made it to completion. Here are five significant Blizzard games that were never released, and the reasons why fans didn’t get a chance to play them.
Most people are familiar with how vampires are made these days: a human drinks a vampire’s blood, then dies to be reborn as one of the undead. Some stories even try to explain it with fake science, saying the person needs to die quickly enough for the blood to work. However, a surprising detail appeared in a comic book last year that everyone seems to have missed.
The movie Anaconda arrives in theaters on December 25th and is being produced by Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes. Platinum Dunes first became known for remaking classic horror films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Amityville Horror. More recently, the company broadened its scope to include sci-fi and action projects such as TMNT and A Quiet Place, and also produced the TV series Jack Ryan and The Last Ship.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Vince Gilligan and the writers of the finale—Alison Tatlock and Gordon Smith—were asked about a book on crystallography seen in a character’s kitchen. Fans wondered if it was a nod to Breaking Bad, as Walter White was a skilled crystallographer and his work contributed to a Nobel Prize-winning discovery.
Although most of the actors in Scarface were already well-known, Michelle Pfeiffer was just starting her career. She was primarily recognized for her role in Grease 2, which almost prevented her from being cast as Elvira, Tony Montana’s wife with a drug addiction.
