One of Jesse Eisenberg‘s most memorable leading ladies gave him a run for his money before even landing the role.

After 15 years, the Zombieland actor recalled how co-star Emma Stone wowed the casting director and left him feeling “so, so small” during her audition for the 2009 Ruben Fleischer-directed post-apocalyptic comedy.

“I was already cast in the movie, so I was auditioning like many people for her part that day,” he recounted on SiriusXM’s The Spotlight with Jessica Shaw. “The actors at that point were all amazing actresses, but they were all, like, trying to get into the movie, and so they were being really polite and everything.

“And then [Stone] came in, and she just started making fun of me in the scene, like just assaulting me with insults in the scene and it was so funny. They were so quick and so funny and cutting,” added Eisenberg.

Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich may have moved on from that franchise, but she stays busy. We’ll soon be seeing her face off with Dave Bautista in her husband Paul W.S. Anderson’s fantasy film In the Lost Lands (a George R. R. Martin adaptation), we recently heard she’ll be working with Rosario Dawson and Alexandra Shipp on the action thriller Midnight, she’s gearing up to work with director Brad Anderson on both the sci-fi film World Breaker and the zombie movie Twilight of the Dead, and now The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that she’s set to star in the Taken-esque action thriller Protector.

Adrian Grunberg, whose credits include Rambo: Last Blood, Get the Gringo, and The Black Demon, will be directing Protector from a screenplay by Bong-Seeb Mun. Filming is expected to take place in New Mexico this winter.

Jovovich will be taking on the role of Nikki,...

Disney is unveiling another slate of steelbook Blu-Ray releases of Disney+ shows just in time for the holidays! Find out what you can get!

Much has been made of the decline of physical media with studios concentrating more on streaming services. That includes Disney, which ended its long running Disney Movie Club and shying away from Blu-Ray releases as of late.

However, the company is still keeping it up with special 4K steelbook releases for some top Disney+ shows. A wave of them hit in 2023 but today Disney announced a new quartet of shows hitting stores on December 3rd so here’s a rundown!

The Mandalorian Season 3

Fans were a bit divided on this season of the Star Wars series yet it had some big stuff from guest stars like Jack Black and Lizzo to delve more into the workings of how the Empire becomes the First Order. There’s...

Good news, physical media fans! Disney is giving more of its Disney+ exclusive shows 4K Ultra HD releases later this year. Netflix started the whole "You can only get this movie or TV show here" thing in the streaming world, which is why creators like Mike Flanagan don't mind if people pirate certain Netflix shows or movies. Other companies have been, very thankfully, breaking that trend. Disney is now bringing "The Mandalorian" season 3, "Ahsoka" season 1, "Hawkeye" season 1, and "Loki" season 2 to a shelf near you in December. Plan accordingly.

These "Star Wars" and Marvel Studios shows will come with brand new steelbook packaging, which you can check out below. Each release also includes exclusive concept art cards and never-before-seen bonus content. This trend started late last year when Disney gave "Loki" season 1, "WandaVision," and "The Mandalorian" seasons 1 and 2 steelbook releases. Apparently, that went well enough for the trend to continue.

A new public service announcement featuring likenesses of celebrities including Michael Douglas, Chris Rock and Amy Schumer aims to warn voters about AI deepfakes, including those that could be unleashed on Election Day to try to suppress the vote.

The spot is from RepresentUS, a nonpartisan anti-corruption organization that includes figures like Ed Helms and Jennifer Lawrence on its board.

The central aim of the spot is to warn voters of messages that seek to dissuade people from voting. Before the New Hampshire primary, a robocall deepfake of Joe Biden’s voice was sent to voters that tried to discourage them from casting a ballot.

Others likenesses featured in the spot include Laura Dern and Orlando Bloom, while the real Rosario Dawson and Jonathan Scott appear at the end.

According to RepresentUS, the likenesses of the celebrities were used with permission.

What many don’t realize is that twenty one years ago, in 2003, we got a hidden gem that unofficially is the best Uncharted movie so far and it is called, The Rundown! Video game adaptations often get a skeptical eye, and unfortunately, the official Uncharted film didn’t do much to change that perception.

This left a lot of people going back to rediscover The Rundown, the unofficial adaptation that actually did justice to the game, and it came out even before the game itself!

Dwayne Johnson Gave Us the Best Uncharted Movie in 2003!

So, how similar is The Rundown to Uncharted? Let’s break it down! The Uncharted video games definitely take a page from the Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider playbook. With its gut-punching action, strong and complex characters, and witty one-liners, one can easily argue that The Rundown likely inspired Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

Ahsoka Season 2 Reportedly Top Priority Despite Star Wars Future Uncertainty - Main Image

According to a new report, of every Lucasfilm project currently in development, Ahsoka season 2 takes up top priority. Despite the franchise's uncertain future, it would seem high hopes rely on the continuation of the beloved Jedi Master's story.

Lucasfilm Reportedly Prioritizing Ahsoka Season 2 Despite Franchise's Uncertain Future

With reports coming in that Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy may soon be ending her contract for Star Wars, fans remain unsure of what the franchise's future looks like outside of its live adaptation shows.

Considering that the cancellation of the most recent Star Wars series, The Acolyte, after merely 8 episodes already veered fans into disappointment, who knows how Lucasfilm plans on coaxing fans back into the franchise?

Well, an insider report details that Lucasfilm is prioritizing Ahsoka season 2 above anything else, despite having only wrapped up on Disney+ last year.

The Star Wars franchise is one of the biggest in Hollywood today. The fact that we can even say that over three decades after it became one of the biggest franchises is a testament to its staying power. With 11 theatrical releases thus far, its drawing power is proof of its enduring success as fans love to head out to the movies to enjoy more adventures from that galaxy so far, far away.

The film saga expanded its horizons in recent years, branching out into streaming television. Yes, there have been a number of Star Wars shows produced for Disney Plus, including the iconic first one The Mandalorian, which has become one of the streamer's all-time biggest shows. Not all of them, however, have been the success that the streamer was hoping for, and thus not all of them have lasted as long as they should have.

The most successful of them all,...

Filmmaker Kevin Smith presents his most personal film to date with The 4:30 Movie, a coming-of-age story - set in the summer of 1986 - that follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local cineplex.

When one of the guys invites the girl of his dreams to see an R-rated film, all hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager (Ken Jeong) and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans. Justin Long, Rosario Dawson, Jason Biggs, and more contribute outrageous characters to this poignant comic valentine to moviegoing and the youth of the '80s.

Shot in Smith's Smodcastle Cinemas in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, the movie has the same vibe as Clerks and is full of fun nostalgic Easter Eggs and pop culture references. It's also a relatable tale which features star-making performances from its four young leads: Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo, Reed Northrup,...

Everyone’s politics is up for discussion these days and Mark Ruffalo is no exception.

The Marvel star is not one to shy from a fight, either as the Hulk or as himself – and especially in the political arena.

With 2024 election nearly upon us, Mark is revving up his efforts to encourage his followers to get involved and more importantly, get informed.

But what exactly are Mark Ruffalo’s politics? He’s taking swipes at republican nominee Donald Trump one minute and the next, he’s calling out Democratic governor Gavin Newsom.

Whose side is he on?

Climate is on the ballot this election season. The two presidential candidates offer vastly different scenarios for our planet’s future. Scientists have said another term led by Donald Trump, who has shopped his campaign to fossil fuel executives, would make America more reliant on energy sources that are heating up our planet at a catastrophic rate. Vice President Kamala Harris, meanwhile, has supported legislation that will provide billions in fighting the climate crisis and — while not perfect — offers citizens a platform to champion for lifesaving environmental protections.

The 4:30 Movie is a 2024 American semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy film written and directed by Kevin Smith. It stars Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo, Reed Northrup, Siena Agudong, and Ken Jeong. The story is loosely based on Smith’s experiences sneaking into movie theatres as a teenager and his earliest romantic endeavours.

Dystopia is one of those sub-genres that lends itself to some interesting philosophical ideas and TV show creators take full advantage of that. In the history of cinema, many great directors and storytellers have created some of the most iconic movies set in dystopian societies like Blade Runner and Total Recall. Max (formerly known as HBO Max) hosts almost all of the brilliant HBO and Max shows and some of those are great dystopian shows. So, we decided to compile a list of the best dystopian shows you can watch on Max right now.

If you thought Din Djarin removing his helmet would become a regular thing, or at least something he admits isn't an unforgivable sin, The Mandalorian Season 3 probably proved you wrong. Many are now left wondering if the helmet dilemma is resolved for good after Din bathed in the living waters on Mandalore.

Season 3 saw Din reverting to his strict adherence to the Mandalorian creed, including the part about never removing his helmet. Still, we can't completely rule out the possibility that he'll go through something that forces him to remove it. The question is, what will it take? The truth is Din Djarin needs to go through an experience akin to Ahsoka episode 5, "Shadow Warrior," which changed Ahsoka Tano's outlook, including her outward appearance.

Although many consider it a masterpiece, James Cameron has enough distance from The Terminator to give it his honest review.

Marking the 40th anniversary of his directorial debut, the 3x Oscar-winning director looked back on parts of the 1984 film as “pretty cringeworthy” as he admitted the “production value” didn’t age well.

“I don’t think of it as some Holy Grail, that’s for sure,” he told Empire. “I look at it now and there are parts of it that are pretty cringeworthy, and parts of it that are like, ‘Yeah, we did pretty well for the resources we had available.'”

“Cameron added, “”Just the production value, you know? I don’t cringe on any of the dialogue, but I have a lower cringe factor than, apparently, a lot of people do around the dialogue that I write,” added Cameron. “You know what? Let me see your three-out-of-the-four-highest-grossing...

Deadline reports that Vertical has snagged the rights to In the Lost Lands, a fantasy flick from Constantin Film directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista.

The film is based on a short story by George R.R. Martin and centers on a “Queen who, desperate to fulfill her love, makes a daring play: she sends the powerful and feared sorceress Gray Alys (Jovovich) to the ghostly wilderness of the Lost Lands in search of a magical power, where the sorceress and her guide, the drifter Boyce (Bautista), must outwit and outfight man and demon…” Constantin Werner wrote the script from a story written by Anderson, who also produces alongside Jovovich, Bautista, Werner, Jonathan Meisner, Jeremy Bolt, and Robert Kulzer.

Skeleton Crew is the next entry in the ever-expanding Star Wars franchise, which is set to hit our screens soon. Created by Jon Watts and Christopher Ford, the series stars Jude Law alongside a cast of young actors. It revolves around a group of children who find their way home after getting lost in the galaxy far, far away, aided by Law’s mysterious Force user.

During a recent interview, the show’s creators broke down some of the elements we will see in the upcoming children-centric series. Skeleton Crew is expected to take place around the same time as The Mandalorian and other post-Return of the Jedi streaming shows. As a result, it shouldn’t surprise the fans to see one element from The Mandalorian season 3 making a comeback, and here is everything you need to know about it.

Marc Bernardin, a television writer/producer (Star Trek: Picard) who has also written multiple comic books and hosts the Fatman Beyond podcast with Kevin Smith, has teamed up with writer/producer/actress Tiffany Smith (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) to create a new anthology called Deepest, Darkest, which will “weave together stories of horror, suspense, dark comedy, and edgy science fiction” – and they have assembled quite an impressive cast for the project. That cast includes Smith herself, as well as Rosario Dawson (Ahsoka), Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters), Rahul Kohli (Midnight Mass), Phil Lamarr (Pulp Fiction), Raymond Lee (Top Gun: Maverick), Caitlin Bassett (Quantum Leap), Sujata Day (Definition Please), and Kevin Avery (The Great North).

Deepest, Darkest will consist of eight segments that are set to be directed by Bernardin, Latoya Morgan (The Walking Dead), Ubah Mohamed (The Handmaid’s Tale), Lamont Magee (Black Lightning), Deric A. Hughes and Benjamin Raab (Warehouse 13), Day,...

The new horror and science fiction anthology, “Deepest, Darkest,” has added yet another cast mate to its already stellar lineup of genre heavyweights.

Rahul Kohli, a beloved member of Mike Flanagan’s Flanaverse and essential teammate in the crime-solving “iZombie” series, has officially joined the star-studded cast of “Deepest, Darkest,” a new horror anthology from writer and director Marc Bernardin and actor Tiffany Smith.

“‘Deepest Darkest’ is an exciting project combining all my favorite genres and my favorite people. Joining this project was a no-brainer for me,” says Kohli, expressing his enthusiasm early in the process to Variety.

Kohli joins the previously announced cast of Smith (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”), Rosario Dawson, Ernie Hudson (“Ghostbusters”), Yetide Badaki (“American Gods”), Phil Lamarr and “Quantum Leap” stars Raymond Lee and Caitlin Bassett.

To top off that impressive lineup, the genre showcase is executive-produced by Akela Cooper and David Dastmalchian.

In another world, The 4:30 Movie might have been named ‘Movierats’. Kevin Smith has long told tales of New Jersey kids simply hanging out, be it at the local shop (Clerks), the local fast-food restaurant (Clerks II), or the local mall (Mallrats). Here, he takes that template and applies it to the local multiplex — what better love-letter to cinema than a film set almost entirely at the cinema? And more specifically, the cinema of Smith’s own youth, which he now owns and operates as Smodcastle Cinemas in Atlantic Highlands, NJ? Disappointingly, for all the promise in the premise, it rarely projects in quite the way you’d hope.

In typical Smith style, this is very much a story from the heart, remixing personal experience in cinematic form — lead character Brian David (a charming and engaging Austin Zajur) is a clear Kevin Smith stand-in, a deeply nerdy kid with a passion for cinema,...

As Hollywood attempts to keep up with the ever-changing face of streaming, Kevin Smith has gotten into the movie theater business.

The director’s latest film is The 4:30 Movie, which serves as a love letter to small-town cinemas. It came at a time when he was feeling “existential” about being “one more goofy-ass tile to this never-ending wall” of film and television content on streaming platforms.

“I know it’s hard out there. It’s always been hard,” he said. “That’s the one thing I could say. But it’s worth the struggle. It’s worth the fight. Like, it’s worth making that tile, man, because that tile winds up being all the difference in some person’s life you’ll never meet.

“I meet people who tell you wonderful things about movies you’ve made years ago that other people lambast, and they’re like: ‘That’s my favorite movie.

Talented actress Rosario Dawson (Ahsoka) has just joined the cast of the upcoming anthology film Deepest, Darkest, coming from Marc Bernardin and Tiffany Smith. Bernardin is reportedly crowdfunding this project via Kickstarter. We shared more about this new movie below.

Deepest Darkest is executive produced by Akela Cooper and David Dastmalchian. According to Deadline, the film will tell stories of horror, suspense, dark comedy, and science fiction. But while there will be stories of different genres, each one will center around "the keeping of secrets."

You might recognize some of the directors who will be helming the segments. Directors include Latoya Morgan, Deric A. Hughes & Benjamin Raab (Quantum Leap), Ubah Mohamed (The Handmaid’s Tale), Lamont Magee, Sujata Day (Insecure), and Kevin Avery (The Great North).

In addition, Rachel Walker, Carrie Finn, and Kyle Smithers are serving as producers on the film. Besides Dawson, the cast also includes Smith, Avery, Day,...

We're midway through September, and Netflix has been releasing tons of great content on its platform. I don't know if you've looked at the streamer's top 10 movie list lately, but there are currently three action movies ranking on the list that are definitely a must-watch. They were all released on Netflix this month. And what's even better is that there will be a couple more action flicks the streamer will be releasing soon.

Are you curious about what those movies are? No worries! Below, we shared a list of some of the best action movies on Netflix in September.

Rebel Ridge (2024)

Cast: Aaron Pierre, Don Johnson, AnnaSophia Robb, David Denman, Emory Cohen, Steve Zissis, Zsané Jhé, Dana Lee, James Cromwell

As of Sept. 11, Rebel Ridge is sitting at the No. 1 spot on Netflix's top 10 movie list, meaning tons of people are watching the new action-thriller. It was released on the streaming platform on Sept.

Plot: Writer-director Kevin Smith presents his most personal film to date with this coming-of-age story — set in the summer of 1986 — that follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local cineplex. When one of the guys invites the girl of his dreams to see an R-rated film, all hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans.

Review: I have been a Kevin Smith fan since I saw Clerks in the mid-90s. Smith had a solid run over the early course of his career, but the 2010s were less kind from a critical standpoint. While I have stood by his projects even when the quality was less than I knew he was capable of, my gut told me that Kevin Smith had another great project in him. I am happy to say that The 4:30 Movie is...

Jam-packed with his familiar brand of vulgar yet verbose stoner humor and free-flowing riffs on movies—especially his own—the vibes are certainly off the charts in Kevin Smith’s The 4:30 Movie. Set in the summer of 1986, the film chronicles an initially magical day in the life of a Smith stand-in, Brian David (Austin Zajur), after he invites a girl from school, Melody Barnegat (Siena Agudong), to their local movie theater. But a raucous comedy of errors ensues thanks to Brian’s slacker friends, Burny (Nicholas Cirillo) and Belly (Reed Northrup), and a revolving door of local weirdos played by Smith’s Irl famous friends, turning the theater into a lawless asylum.

The 4:30 Movie doesn’t so much find Smith in his wheelhouse as it does in some kind of Synecdoche, New York-style Tower of slacker-movie Babylon. That, though, doesn’t translate to comedy gold, let alone a cohesive film.

Jessica Alba is continuing her climate advocacy — this time with a hosting gig at the Latino Victory Project’s second annual Brunch Like a Madre rally to launch its 2024 Vote Like a Madre campaign.

Vote Like a Madre is a nonpartisan program that works to educate the public on climate issues and increase Latina voter turnout. It will invest more than $2 million in voter turnout this year. The event featured panels on the climate crisis and the impact of unnatural disasters and extreme weather on Latin communities across the United States.

“This is a major, major year… Voting like a Madre is channeling that Latina energy of someone who is the center of the household,” the actress said in her speech on Monday. “You don’t have to be a woman either to channel that madre energy, either. We all need to protect this planet, so that we can protect each other.

The loss of James Earl Jones has shaken Star Wars fans, creators, and the world. The beloved actor passed away on Monday at the age of 93. The legend touched many people across generations. Jones wasn't just beloved by Star Wars fans. He was part of many fandoms from Disney, Simpsons, and childhood classics like The Sandlot. Field of Dreams, Coming to America, and so many other films come to mind. Tributes are pouring in remembrance of this great man.

“James was an incredible actor, a most unique voice both in art and spirit,” George Lucas said to StarWars.com. “For nearly half a century he was Darth Vader, but the secret to it all is he was a beautiful human being. He gave depth, sincerity and meaning to all his roles, amongst the most important being a devoted husband to the late Ceci and dad to Flynn. James will be...

An Avenger, a Jedi and Inigo Montoya are putting their franchises aside to unite in support of Kamala Harris and real-life heroes.

Heroes 4 Harris is hosting a virtual Kamala-Con on Sunday, Sept. 8, featuring Mark Ruffalo, Rosario Dawson, Mandy Patinkin, Sean Astin, Alex Winter and more celebrity guests, all fundraising for the Democratic nominee ahead of her Sept. 10 debate with Donald Trump on ABC News.

“Heroic stories are more than just escapism—they are a call to action,” said Andrew Slack, creative director of Heroes 4 Harris, in a statement. “By uniting those who embody heroism on screen with those who fight for justice in real life, we are underscoring the power of these narratives to inspire and mobilize Americans to be heroes for Harris. This event is a testament to our collective strength and determination to support Kamala Harris and ensure a brighter, more equitable future for all.”

If there's anything Netflix is good for, besides exposing audiences to international films and TV shows they might otherwise miss, it's churning up forgotten action movies and bestowing new life upon them. The streamer resurrected "The Bricklayer" earlier this year, and immediately Netflixers flocked to the underseen actioner. The same recently happened with Bruce Willis' "Red," which topped Netflix charts some 14 years after it first bowed. Now, it's Dwayne Johnson's turn. The man's bizarre attempts to stay in the now defunct DC Extended Universe may've put a dent in his veneer of likability, but he's currently proving that he can still bring in the crowds — at least on streaming. His 2003 action comedy "The Rundown" has hit Netflix and is making a sneaky run up the charts.

This might actually be an example of a film worthy of revisiting, too. "The Rundown," which was known as "Welcome to the Jungle" internationally,...

Apple TV+ has ordered the 10-episode horror-comedy series Widow’s Bay from creator, showrunner and executive producer Katie Dippold.

Emmy Award-nominee Hiro Murai is set to direct the pilot and will produce alongside Claudia Shin and Carver Karaszewski.

Widow’s Bay is set on a mysteriously cursed New England island and follows its superstitious citizens, led by a mayor who refuses to believe their warnings.

Dippold was a writer on NBC’s Parks and Recreation before she sold her spec feature The Heat, directed by Paul Feig and starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. The Heat won an American Comedy Award for Best Comedy Screenplay and a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Comedic Movie. She followed The Heat by co-writing Ghostbusters: Answer The Call, also directed by Paul Feig with Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones starring.

After years of waiting for their franchise to get back on-track, "Terminator" fans finally have a decent on-screen installment in the long-suffering saga. After several studios tried and failed to right the "Terminator" ship, a savior arrived in the unlikely form of Netflix. The streamer's new "Terminator Zero" anime show is a gorgeous and gruesome eight-episode series that represents showrunner/EP/writer Mattson Tomlin's attempt to inject a bit of horror back into the franchise.

It's an element of the original two movies that has been conspicuously absent from subsequent entries. As the "Terminator" films went on, they increasingly leaned into action blockbuster territory, jettisoning the slasher vibe creator James Cameron established with his 1984 original film, as well as the ambient sense of doom from Cameron's 1991 sequel "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." Thankfully, much of that is back in "Zero," which as /Film's Bj Colangelo writes in her review, features...

Dragon Con went down this past week in Atlanta, Georgia, and the stars were out in force. A couple of Star Wars luminaries stopped by, including Natasha Liu Bordizzo, who plays Sabine Wren on Ahsoka, about the popular ex-Jedi character Ahsoka Tano, played by Rosario Dawson. The first season of that show bowed on Disney+ in 2023, and although it ended with a lot left unresolved, fans haven't heard anything since. Bordizzo was here to help.

Lots of folk in attendance reported that, according to Bordizzo, the second season of Ahsoka will start filming in the summer of 2025, after filming is complete on the new movie The Mandalorian & Grogu, meaning we probalby won't see new episodes of it until 2026.

The Mandalorian & Grogu, of course, is based on the show The Mandalorian, on which Ahsoka Tano has guest starred. She's also been in The Book of Boba Fett, which also guest-starred Din Djarin,...

The Star Wars universe has several exciting stories to tell despite experiencing a recent downturn in its fortunes. One of the projects fans have eagerly been waiting for is the second installment of Ahsoka, starring Rosario Dawson and Natasha Liu Bordizzo. The first season ended on a cliffhanger, making fan excitement for season 2 understandable.

During a recent appearance at a convention, Bordizzo addressed the plans for a second season, which was announced to be in development earlier this year. Despite the actress giving fans a major update on the production timeline for season 2, fans were left unhappy with just how much longer they will have to wait. Here is everything Bordizzo revealed about Ahsoka season 2’s production timeline.

Ahsoka Star Natasha Liu Bordizzo Provides Update on Season 2

Ahsoka premiered in August 2023, with the series starring Rosario Dawson in the titular role.

Star Wars fans have a thrilling new update on when Ahsoka Season 2 may begin filming thanks to comments from one of its leading stars.

January 2024 saw Ahsoka renewed for a second season after Rosario Dawson kicked off her long-awaited solo series in August 2023. Lucasfilm CEO Dave Filoni is confirmed to return after creating the streaming hit for the popular character he first introduced in 2008's Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Last season ended with Ahsoka and several other characters stuck on Peridea, a planet located in an even further away galaxy than the core galaxy far, far away. But with so much currently in development under Disney and Lucasfilm, the question of when these new episodes could debut is a bit of a mystery.

“Only Murders in the Building” is going Hollywood, baby.

The fourth season of Hulu’s Emmy-winning comedy finds our favorite trio of amateur detectives-slash-podcast producers briefly trade the streets of New York for the sunny skies of Los Angeles in light of the news their podcast is being turned into a movie starring Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis and Eva Longoria. But the buzz of excitement doesn’t last long, as Sazz’s (Jane Lynch) disappearance has Charles increasingly worried.

In the new season, the acclaimed comedy series remains as funny as it’s ever been, with enough Hollywood jokes and references to almost make “Hacks” nervous. Combined with some serious star power, “Only Murders in the Building...

Just in time for Judgment Day, Netflix has a new installment in the “Terminator” franchise for fans of the iconic, long-running sci-fi action franchise. This time, however, you won’t see any familiar faces — the series is animated. However, you might recognize some of the voices, so we’ve put together a handy guide to the “Terminator Zero” cast.

You won’t see Sarah Connor, Kyle Reese or Arnold’s T-800 in this story — it introduces a new timeline and all new characters to go with it. Set in 1997, Japan, “Terminator Zero” focuses on a developer named Malcolm Lee, who is hard at work on another AI system to compete with Skynet and save the human race. Naturally, a Terminator unit is sent back in time to target him and his three children, while a soldier from the future is sent back with a mission of her own.

It has — shockingly — been five years since James Cameron's career-defining Terminator franchise went hasta la vista, baby, following a string of uneven live-action sequels, reboots and an underrated spin-off TV series. After 2019’s promising Terminator: Dark Fate unfortunately bombed at the box office_,_ it seemed that the saga had resigned itself to a molten-metal fate.

However, as Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor said: “The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.” Enter Terminator Zero, an eight-part anime series on Netflix that brings the franchise back from the scrapheap, marking a collaboration between Japanese animation studio Production I.G, writer Mattson Tomlin, and director Masashi Kudo (Bleach). Zero gives us a fresh perspective on the events of Judgment Day — but instead of America, the timey-wimey narrative takes place in Japan.

Considering how many Terminator stories have come before,...

When writer/director James Cameron and producer Gale Anne Hurd came up with "The Terminator" back in the early 1980s, they couldn't have possibly predicted that their dystopian sci-fi future, where an artificial neural network-based conscious group mind and artificial general superintelligence system called Skynet would one day determine humans to be a threat and attempt to wipe them out, would one day feel within the realm of possibility. The questions constantly looming over the characters in the "Terminator" universe are ones of absolutes: Can humanity be saved from the threat of Skynet, and more importantly, are we deserving of such salvation?

According to "Terminator Zero" showrunner and writer Mattson Tomlin, this is at the heart of his new anime series for Netflix. As he told Tudum, "I'm not a nihilist — I'm a humanist, and I love people, and I think that there's a reason that we're on this planet.
