You may be able to see the wonders of Westeros on the big screen someday soon.

A movie set in the world of HBO’s Game of Thrones is in early development at Warner Bros., according to The Hollywood Reporter. Now when we say “early development,” we mean “early”: No cast, writer or director has been attached to the project as of yet, and no storyline has been revealed. But “the company is keen on exploring the idea of Westeros invading cinemas” with at least one movie, THR says.

At this point, the premiere party has practically become synonymous with the word ‘Hollywood.’ But for the global premiere of HBO’s “Dune: Prophecy,” the company wanted to do something a bit different. Knowing the passion around the Frank Herbert novels and the Denis Villeneuve adaptations, HBO wanted to bring the fans in on the experience.

“I was talking to Sarah Aubrey, who’s the head of Max content, and we were like, ‘What could we do that would really give something to the fans that’s different than what we would do for a normal premiere?’ That was the inception of this,” Jen Weinberg, SVP of Talent Relations, Events & Awards for HBO and Max, told TheWrap. “This is a tentpole show for our company. We have a lot of resources going into it. We’ve all identified that we love [this show], and we want the world to love it as much as we do.

During the same interview where he defended the Warner Bros. awards season flop “Joker: Folie a Deux,” Oscar-winning director Quentin Tarantino also expressed a strong disinterest in the studio’s top contender, “Dune: Part Two.”

Speaking to Bret Easton Ellis during an interview with Ellis for the writer’s podcast, Tarantino said he had already watched “Dune” adapted for the screen by David Lynch.

“I don’t need to see that story again,” Tarantino said when asked about Denis Villeneuve’s screen adaptations of Frank Herbert’s science-fiction novel. “I don’t need to see spice worms. I don’t need to see a movie that says the word ‘Spice’ so dramatically.”

The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” director added that Hollywood’s reliance on reboots and remakes was not something he found interesting as an audience member.

“It’s one after another of this remake and that remake,...

Quentin Tarantino has not seen Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” movies and has no intention of changing that, despite the rave reviews. During an interview on “The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast” (the same interview where Tarantino defended “Joker: Folie à Deux”), the filmmaker was asked about whether or not “Dune: Part Two” was the best movie of the year as many have proclaimed. He didn’t have an answer because he’s not going to watch it.

“I saw [David Lynch’s] ‘Dune’ a couple of times. I don’t need to see that story again,” Tarantino said about his lack of interest in Villeneuve’s adaptations. “I don’t need to see spice worms. I don’t need to see a movie that says the word ‘spice’ so dramatically.”

Tarantino has nothing against Villeneuve, he’s just not interested in watching a story he’s already familiar with due to...

Quentin Tarantino, best known for his supporting turn in "Destiny Turns on the Radio," has never been shy about his taste in movies. Tarantino has long been drawn to aggressively masculine genre films, Westerns, war pictures, martial arts films, and anything one might have seen at a run-down grindhouse theater in 1977. He also likes very terse, tense movies, and has listed Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver," William Friedkin's "Sorcerer," and Sergio Leone's "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" as his favorites. He's likewise admitted to having fond feelings for "The Great Escape" (who doesn't?) and thinks very highly of Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk." It's easy to guess that he similarly loves "Rio Bravo" and "Apocalypse Now," and he often recommends the Sonny Chiba vehicle "The Street Fighter" from 1974.

Despite his tastes, however, Tarantino remains cinematically omnivorous, taking in hundreds of movies a year, sussing out the pop...

Stephen King's book It, about a child-eating clown called Pennywise who terrorizes the small town of Derry on and off for decades, has been terrifying people ever since it first hit bookshelves in 1986. More recently, Andy Muschietti directed a pair of movies based on It that did quite well at the box office, well enough for HBO to greenlight a show set in Derry, decades before the events of the main story. It's called It: Welcome to Derry.

Normally I'd say this sounds like HBO is stretching, but two things make me optimistic: first, It is an enormous book, and there probably is enough in there to base a show on. Welcome to Derry will be based on the "interludes" throughout the book, when one of the main characters, Mike Hanlon, investigates incidents in Derry's past where Pennywise crawled out of his hole to wreck havoc, whipping the...

Quentin Tarantino recently appeared on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, where he is sharing his hot takes on some of the more recent projects that have been released. He praised Joaquin Phoenix’s performance from Joker: Folie à Deux, saying that he gave “one of the best performances I’ve ever seen in my life.” He also said, “I really, really liked it, really. A lot. Like, tremendously, and I went to see it expecting to be impressed by the filmmaking. But I thought it was going to be an arms-length, intellectual exercise that ultimately I wouldn’t think worked like a movie, but that I would appreciate it for what it is.”

World of Reel now reports on Tarantino’s firm stance on watching movies and TV shows that have been remade from past works, including Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune films. The Pulp Fiction director explains, “I saw [nm0000186 autoDavid...

Considered one of the best films of the Coen brother’s filmography, No Country for Old Men won several accolades on its release. The neo-Western crime thriller starred Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin together with Tommy Lee Jones and was based on Cormac McCarthy’s 2005 novel.

Bardem’s performance as the bold hitman Anton Chigurh was praised by the viewers and critics alike. However, the actor’s reason for greenlighting the script would surprise fans. The actor mentioned feeling out of place for the savage role until he saw the haircut they wanted for his character, the ridiculous get-up made him say yes.

We are close to the end of the year, but there are still several shows on the way for us. If you’re already subscribed to Max, you are well aware that Dune: Prophecy (one of the most anticipated series of the year) finally arrives in November. But if that’s not your thing, don’t worry there’s more to watch.

First off, we have Like Water For Chocolate, kicking off the month on Nov. 3 with weekly episodes. Like Water For Chocolate is set to feature a total of six chapters. Now, this is an interesting one. The drama series showcases how traditions can, and often should, be broken, especially when they begin to feel like prison. Like Water For Chocolate stars Irene Azuela, Azul Guaita, Ana Valeria, and others.

Fans of the Dune universe only have to wait a little over two weeks for the arrival of Dune: Prophecy,...

Denis Villeneuve, the director of “Dune: Part Two,” has been announced as the keynote speaker of “Stories of the Season,” the exclusive awards season event held by Puck, the new media company, Gold Derby has learned exclusively.

Villeneuve was selected to headline the invite-only event held in Los Angeles on November 15 in part due to his rich history of creative excellence and business acumen. The conversation, hosted by Puck’s Matt Belloni, will dive into the filmmaker’s unique process and discuss his views on the current state of the industry. The “Stories of the Season” chat will also be recorded and published later as an episode of Belloni’s podcast, “The Town.”

The director, who has been nominated for three Academy Awards, is among the frontrunners in this year’s race for Best Director; the film, which opened in March 2024 to strong reviews (92% on Rotten Tomatoes) is also predicted...

Matlock is back in a brand new show, but it would not be the breakout hit it is without the indomitable Kathy Bates in the lead.

As Monsters and Critics have reported, Matlock is such a hit that it is renewed for Season 2, and Kathy has much to do with its success.

One of Matlock’s premises is that older women are invisible, and that is precisely how Kathy’s character, Madeline Matlock, operates so well as a lawyer on the show.

In an interview with Newsweek, Kathy shared that she relates to her character in many ways and describes how they fit in together: “So many of the things that Matty goes through, I’ve been through, or I’m thinking about, it’s just been absolutely incredible.”

Playing an older lawyer may seem easy for Kathy since she is excellent in any role, from Molly Brown in Titanic to Annie Wilkes in Misery,...

Halloween 2024 is here! And while there are tons of creative costume ideas floating around the internet, I want to draw your attention to some passionate fans of Dune who all got the same idea: a couples costume where one person dresses as a sandworn and the other as their rider. Take a look, with thanks to the good people of the Dune subreddit for the pictures:

I like how each sandworm outfit is different, with each having a different vision of the cavernous maw of the mightiest beasts on the desert planet of Arrakis. I also like that I can see the one guy's face peeking out of that maw in the third picture; otherwise, I'm not sure how the people in the sandworm outfits can see, but I've learned never to underestimate...

As the holiday season approaches, television is set to deliver a mix of high-octane drama, captivating sci-fi, and returning fan favorites to keep viewers entertained. According to the Whip Watch Report for November 2024, U.S. audiences are especially excited about HBO’s “Dune: Prophecy” and Netflix’s returning hit “Arcane,” topping the list of most-anticipated new and returning shows, respectively. This diverse array of TV content promises to make November a banner month for television fans, blending epic world-building, thrilling storytelling, and some much-awaited returns.

Top 5 Most-Anticipated New Shows Dune: Prophecy

Leading the new series lineup is “Dune: Prophecy,” HBO’s ambitious adaptation that delves into the origins of the “Dune” universe. With “Dune: Prophecy” set to premiere on Nov. 17, fans of the legendary sci-fi epic are eagerly awaiting this prequel that expands the backstory of Frank Herbert’s complex world. Following the success of the “Dune” films, this series...

The year is almost over, but 2024 has plenty of sci-fi and fantasy goodness to serve us before we ring in a new one. Below, check out some of the biggest movies and TV shows worth checking out in November, with an emphasis on the strange, the wondrous and the fantastical:

Arcane season 2: November 9 (Netflix)

The second and final season of Netflix's Emmy-winning animated series Arcane drops this November, and it promises to have even more magic, bloodshed, and brutal twists and turns than the first. This show may be based off the League of Legends video game, but don't let that fool you; Arcane has a story that's on par with anything the genre has to offer. It primarily follows two sisters, the bruiser Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and chaotic criminal Jinx (Ella Purnell), as they are torn from their humble roots and pitted against each other in a devastating class war.

Hollywood’s most notable bombs are — sadly — just as well-known as its biggest hits, a factor that a new book joyously celebrates.

From British film critic Tim Robey, “Box Office Poison” digs up the dirt on some of cinema’s wildest misfires, from grand follies to misunderstood masterpieces, disastrous sequels to catastrophic literary adaptations, going behind the scenes to examine how they ended careers, bankrupted studios and changed film history.

Among the features in Robey’s crosshairs are David Lynch’s “Dune,” plus “Speed 2: Cruise Control,” “Gigli,” “Catwoman,” “Pan” and — of course — “Cats.”

In this exclusive extract from the book, being released by Hanover Square Press in the U.S. on Nov. 5, it’s the turn of the swashbuckling catastrophe that was Renny Harlin and Geana Davis’ “Cutthroat Island.” Costing upwards of $115 million to make, the watery flop sank almost without a trace in 1995, earning just $18.5 million globally and...

Here’s why Dave Bautista worked hard to break his s*x addiction (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Popularly known as the WWE Superstar, Dave Bautista rose to fame after his successful career as a professional wrestler. The actor who became a six-time world champion was a wrestling icon, but his aspirations beyond the ring landed him in the Hollywood industry. After starring in films like Guardians of the Galaxy as Drax the Destroyer and Dune, Bautista found massive success in the film industry. Despite his widespread acclaim, Bautista’s past life wasn’t always easy for him as he regrets some past decisions.

Dave Bautista’s S*x Addiction

As a wrestler, Bautista earned stardom. However, he decided to try something different and landed in Hollywood. Bautista has been part of films like Blade Runner 2049, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Army of the Dead, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

When Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner began dating, no one expected the glamorous couple to last more than a year. But then, here we are—it’s been over a year and the unlikely pair are going stronger than ever. However, new revelations from sources suggest that Chalamet and Jenner never talked about dating exclusively.

To be specific, although Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are going strong in their relationship, the couple never promised to remain exclusive with their relationship. Therefore, now that Chalamet is rising to fame and women are allegedly throwing themselves at him, it seems that the actor’s loyalty to Jenner is being tested.

While in a Relationship, Timothée Chalamet is Allegedly Receiving Advances from Women

After being constantly pictured together, leading to speculations about romance, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner finally went public in 2023 about their relationship.

Hungary’s 30% tax incentive for film and TV, which has helped attract recent Hollywood shoots like “Dune: Part Two,” “Maria” and “The Brutalist” to the country, has been extended by six years.

Hungary, continental Europe’s biggest production hub, has attracted direct annual production spend totalling $910 million, a fourfold increase in the last five years.

The extension of the tax incentive was revealed on Monday in Los Angeles by government commissioner for the development of the Hungarian film industry, Csaba Kael, who was in the city to reveal the winners of Hungarian Film Institute’s inaugural awards for Best International Production Filmed in Hungary.

Originally launched in 2004, the Hungarian film support scheme has contributed to such Hollywood films as “Hellboy II: The Golden Army,” “A Good Day to Die Hard,” “The Martian” and “Terminator: Dark Fate.” Other international productions to have filmed in Hungary include “Poor Things,” Ridley Scott’s “Alien: Romulus,...

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two was the first blockbuster of the year and what better than to close it off with another revisit to Arrakis? Max’s Dune: Prophecy is all set to debut on the streaming platform soon and the recent trailer promises an intense political drama with action-packed sequences.

While Dune: Part Two writer Jon Spaihts was initially set to be the showrunner, he left to work on the film and was promptly replaced by Diane Ademu-John and Alison Schapker. The six-episode series will reportedly be set 10,000 years before the movies and will focus on the Bene Gesserit. Here is everything you need to know about Dune: Prophecy.

After Legendary Entertainment bought the rights to Frank Herbert’s Dune novels, the studio began the process of adapting the novels to film and expanding it to create a franchise.

Born September 1, 1996, Zendaya rose to fame as a child star on the Disney Channel, with fan-favorite characters in “Shake It Up” and “K.C. Undercover.” The singer and actress soon started dabbling in feature films, where she earned the plum role of Mj, Tom Holland‘s love interest, in Marvel’s “Spider-Man” movies. Zendaya’s biggest claim to fame was in 2020, when she became the youngest-ever Emmy winner in the Best Drama Actress category for playing a teen drug addict on “Euphoria.” Her career continues to blossom thanks to recent releases like “Challengers” (directed by Luca Guadagnino) and “Dune” (directed by Denis Villeneuve).

If you ever wanted to live like a Star Wars star, now is your chance! Do you have a few million dollars laying around? If so, this is the article for you!

Star Wars sequel trilogy actor Oscar Isaac is selling his New York penthouse in Brooklyn. The massive four bedroom, three bathroom apartment (which is huge by New York standards) is at the cross section between Fort Greene, Park Slope, Boerum Hill, and Cobbie Hill, according to The New York Post. If this is something you're interested in, you just need to shell out about $4.5 million dollars which is what it's currently listed.

Isaac has owned this property since 2018, where he got it for the same price he is listing it for. It was on the market a bit last year before it was taken down.

Maybe the real estate change is thanks to the star's rise the last several years.

Next month, HBO and Max will debut Dune: Prophecy, a TV series spun off from the Dune movies starring Timothée Chalamet. But neither Chalamet nor his character Paul Atreides are anywhere near Dune: Prophecy, which is set 10,000 years in the past. Humanity has barely won a war against thinking machines and is trying to rebuild. Sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen (Emily Watson and Olivia Williams respectively) are part of the nascent Bene Gesserit sisterhood, which they are trying to use to steer humanity in the right direction.

I won't spoil anything, but I've been lucky enough to see some of the episodes in advance and it's definitely a good watch: moody, interesting and compelling. Or as Emily Watson put it while speaking to Collider, it's a "really tasty, delicious, complicated mess of a dish to get your teeth into."

Take a look at more footage from the new live-action TV series “Dune: Prophecy”, based on the novel ‘Sisterhood of Dune’, directed by Anna Foerster, starring Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Jihae, Tabu, Charithra Chandran, Jessica Barden, Emma Canning and Yerin Ha, streaming November 17, 2024 on Max:

Sony Pictures has announced a new chapter in its Jumanji franchise will arrive in theaters on December 11, 2026. This release date comes nearly seven years after the studio’s previous Jumanji film and ends speculation about the future of the successful action-comedy series.

The as-yet untitled fourth Jumanji film is slated to reunite the franchise’s core cast members. Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Jack Black are all expected to reprise their in-game avatar roles of teenagers transported into the magical video game world of Jumanji. Johnson, Hart, Gillan, and Black have anchored the modern Jumanji films since 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle revived the franchise for contemporary audiences.

Scheduling conflicts partly explain the extended gap between installments. Johnson has committed time to multiple major franchises like Fast & Furious and projects with Disney and DC. Gillan told one outlet “They’re so fun, and I really like Ruby Roundhouse.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are still going strong after a year of dating, shocking many of their followers. While Jenner and Chalamet seem like an unlikely pair, they allegedly have strong feelings for each other and hope to continue their romance. However, a source claims Chalamet and Jenner haven’t talked about dating exclusively. And women are allegedly throwing themselves at Chalamet as his star power rises.

Timothée Chalamet allegedly receives advances from women while he and Kylie Jenner still haven’t had the exclusivity talk

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner aren’t afraid to show the world they’re dating, but they keep the details of their romance private. After months of speculation, they went public in 2023. According to sources, they still have strong feelings for each other as they navigate the public eye and spend a lot of time apart. Chalamet is currently filming while Jenner navigates...

At the end of 2021’s “Dune,” Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atriedes looks out across the desert in awe as he sees a Fremen of Arrakis riding a sandworm.

It was a tease of what was to come from director Denis Villeneuve in this year’s “Dune: Part Two.” Paul and his mother Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) immerse themselves in Fremen culture in the sequel, and the sandworm ride is a coming-of-age ritual. Paul riding a massive worm would be his ascension to power. The white-knuckled sequence where Paul mounts one and rides across the desert was something cinematographer Greig Fraser had to get right.

Speaking to Variety for the Inside the Frame series, Fraser explains “This is his journey of becoming accepted by the Fremen. It’s a journey that has come a long way up to this point. There is some part of the Fremen community that believes he’s going to die,...

Praised by Stephen King as “absolutely brilliant,” Late Night with the Devil is now available on VHS at Witter Entertainment.

Limited to 150, the fully functional glow tape comes in book box packaging with a flip-open cover for $50. A standard slipcase version with alternate artwork by Creepy Duck Design is also available for $30.

Officially licensed from Shudder, each tape includes an exclusive introduction by writers-directors Colin & Cameron Cairnes along with special features after the movies.

Get ready to jump back into the world of Dune with HBO's new spinoff series, Dune: Prophecy. Taking place 10,000 years before the events of the 2021 film, the show — developed by Alison Schapker (Westworld) and Diane Ademu-John (Medium) — shows us how the super-powered sisterhood known as the Bene Gesserit comes to be, and how Harkonnen sisters Valya and Tula navigate the many threats against them.

The impressive cast of Dune: Prophecy includes Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Mark Strong, Jodhi May, and other familiar faces, along with newcomers Chloe Lea, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, and more. Having seen the first two episodes of the prequel, I can tease that it's worth watching. The exclusive and mysterious sisterhood is one of my favorite parts of the Dune movies, so getting a chance to dig deeper into their lore is a thrill, plus the acting, writing, cinematography, and costumes are solid.

Lauded journalist, host, and moderator Josh Horowitz is a staple among the Hollywood circuit in part thanks to his popular podcast “Happy Sad Confused.” Horowitz, who began his career as a producer and talent booker, parlayed his expertise and ease with filmmakers into his own standalone podcast back in 2014. Its format pivoted during the pandemic to include a video component on YouTube (where he has amassed more than 111K subscribers), and once again took another shape as Horowitz began hosting live podcast recordings with a partnership at the 92nd St Y in New York City.

Horowitz has interviewed notoriously private, or rather, anti-podcast stars such as Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, and Vin Diesel, with Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, and Henry Cavill appearing on multiple episodes. Some of Horowitz’s personal heroes like George Miller, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo del Toro, Steven Soderbergh, Denis Villeneuve, and...

It’s no secret that the Covid-19 pandemic upended the movie theater business in 2020, but in the years since, the industry has slowly climbed back. In 2021, 14 movies were able to cross the coveted $100 million mark at the U.S. box office. In 2022, that number jumped up to 18 films. And in 2023, there were a whopping 25 such blockbusters. So how many features released during the current 2024 calendar year will end up becoming box office behemoths? Stay tuned.

To date, the biggest money-makers of the year are a trio of highly anticipated sequels: “Inside Out 2,” “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Despicable Me 4.” Scroll through our gallery above (or click here for direct access) to see all of the 2024 box office hits so far that made more than $100 million in the United States. The number will continue to grow as high-profile movies like “Wicked” and “Mufasa: The Lion King” will be released later in the year.

Timothée Chalamet was in good company during a visit with fans this weekend, where he was more than likely asked to call them by his name.

On Sunday, the Oscar nominee made a surprise appearance at New York City’s Madison Square Park, where hundreds of fans gathered to compete in a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest.

In videos shared to social media, several doppelgängers posed for photos in the sea of people before the Dune star joined them, resulting in some genuinely shocked faces. A frenzy broke out as he hugged his admirers and posed with them.

Incidentally, Chalamet didn’t win the contest, arriving with a mustache and a shorter head of hair — after portraying Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.

The contest took place after flyers popped up around the city with a Qr link to the event’s Partiful page and the offer of a $50 cash prize.

Timothée Chalamet couldn’t miss the lookalike contest in his honor!

The 28-year-old Dune star made a subtle appearance at a gathering that took place at Washington Square Park on Sunday (October 27) dedicated to people who look like the actor.

As Variety notes, he showed up wearing a mask and snuck into the center of the crowd before revealing his identity. Watch the moment!

Hundreds of people attended the event by 1 p.m., where the winner was to receive a $50 cash reward.

The NYPD was also in attendance with officers attempting to manage the group of onlookers, and police tried to disperse the crowd for gathering without a permit.

A police spokesperson said at least one person was detained and issued summonses, via NBC New York.

Get ready to sink your teeth into Beef Season 2!

The show that turned a simple road rage incident into a full-blown war is back with fresh faces, new grudges, and a whole new setting.

Originally meant to be a one-and-done limited series, Beef became such a smash hit in 2023 that it’s now shifting into an anthology format — bringing an entirely new story to the table for Season 2.

With new characters and even wilder twists, this next chapter promises to crank up the chaos even higher while keeping the sharp humor and tension that made the first season unforgettable.

Here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming up on Beef Season 2!

What is Beef about?

Beef is a darkly funny series created by Lee Sung Jin, inspired by his own real-life road rage incident (though it didn’t escalate quite as it does in the show).

Dennis Villeneuve’s Dune and Dune: Part 2 was a massive success at the box office. Based on Frank Herbert’s novels, the first two movies adapted the first novel in the series and focused on the character of Paul Atreides.

Dune has seen various adaptations over the years, but Villeneuve’s take has elevated the sci-fi/fantasy epic into a true Hollywood blockbuster. With Dune: Part Two performing impressively at the box office, grossing $714.4 million, a third film was evident. Moreover, the third chapter in the series will adapt the second novel, Dune: Messiah, and be a perfect conclusion to Paul Atreides’ journey.

Here’s everything you need to know about Dune: Part Three.

5 Actors Who Could Play Prince Charming in Disney’s Live-Action Film - Main Image

For the first time since his debut in the animated movie Cinderella in 1950, Prince Charming will finally have a live-action solo film bearing his name.

Chris Hemsworth is reportedly in talks to star in Walt Disney Pictures' Prince Charming, with Wonka director Paul King at the helm. Simon Farnaby and Jon Croke will co-write the film with King.

But aside from the MCU star, several other actors could effortlessly embody this iconic character, showcasing their charm, charisma, and undeniable screen presence.

To that effect, here are five actors who could play Prince Charming in the upcoming Disney live-action film.

Luke Newton

Fresh from the latest season of Bridgerton, the Ton universe will be eager to see Luke Newton as the new Prince Charming.

In addition to his youthful charm and fresh face—some of the best...

Could Zendaya’s role in Dune be more powerful than we first thought? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Dune intrigued us from the start; Zendaya’s portrayal of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune intrigued us. But as Dune: Part Two gears up, Chani’s character arc is set to take a deeper dive than anyone expected. Forget the background role she held in Frank Herbert’s novels—Zendaya’s Chani is evolving into something more commanding, rebellious, and complicated than the fierce Fremen wife we first met.

While Herbert’s Chani was fiercely loyal to Paul Atreides, Villeneuve’s interpretation hints at a different story. In the first film, she’s already more than just Paul’s love interest—there’s a subtle tension, an unease in her eyes as she watches Paul’s power grow. As Dune: Part Two looms, we’re bracing for a Chani who questions the...

Dune Part Two And The Star Wars Universe (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Could Dune and Star Wars be the long-lost cousins of the sci-fi world? With the release of Dune: Part Two, those age-old comparisons between the epic Frank Herbert universe and George Lucas’s space opera have been reignited. And the roots run way more profound.

Let’s rewind. Before Denis Villeneuve’s Dune adaptation happened, the literary world had already crowned Frank Herbert’s Dune series as a sci-fi titan. Herbert’s work laid the foundation for countless following stories. Enter Star Wars, the franchise that blew up the big screen in the 1970s, sprinkling its storylines with concepts that Dune readers couldn’t help but find… familiar. Coincidence? Probably not.

Take desert planets, for instance. Star Wars had Tattooine, that sandy wasteland where Anakin Skywalker kicked off his destiny before his son, Luke, picked up the torch. In Dune,...

Why is Tom Holland Called the “Ultimate Rizz Master”? Hilarious Moniker Explained - Main Image

While the McU's Spider-Man has yet to work alongside Dune star Timothée Chalamet, the latter had bestowed the title "ultimate rizz master" to Tom Holland.

Now, a few months after earning the hilarious moniker, the Marvel Cinematic Universe actor who is set to star in the fourth Spidey film has offered an equally amusing response to his surprising title.

Tom Holland Earned the 'Ultimate Rizz Master' Title Thanks to Timothée Chalamet

During his appearance on LADbible's "Agree to Disagree" YouTube series in December last year, Timothée Chalamet dubbed Tom Holland "the ultimate rizz master" despite the latter previously disagreeing with the title.

The statement comes right after Chalamet was asked to pick his answer on whether he is "better looking than Tom Holland", which didn't faze him. If anything, he instantly moved his glass to 'strongly disagree.

One of Tinseltown’s most unlikely of pairings, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have been going strong for more than a year. The pair, who first made headlines last year, have yet to confirm their relationship status with the public, but appear to be as in love with each other as two jolly teenagers.

Although the pair have kept mum about their relationship, there have been several ‘insider’ reports about their swoon-worthy romance. As per one insider report, there seems to be trouble brewing in paradise for the model and actor, who both have different plans after dating each other for so long.

The State of the Race

This season, the Academy shortlist for Best Original Score has expanded from 15 to 20 titles, and now up to three composers will be allowed to receive the Oscar. In terms of the race, “Dune: Part Two” (Warner Bros.) was ruled ineligible because composer Hans Zimmer used more than the allotted 20 percent of the pre-existing themes and music from his Oscar-winning “Dune” score. However, Zimmer is still very much in the race with his score for “Blitz” (Apple TV+).

Other fall/holiday contenders include “Emilia Pérez” (Netflix), “Gladiator II” (Paramount...

This year, Warner Bros. Pictures has been on a massive roll. The acclaimed studio has been consistently putting out films that captured the attention of the entire world. Back in March, the focus was on Timothée Chalamet’s Dune 2, and just last month, they ended up releasing the highly anticipated Jenna Ortega starrer, Beetlejuice 2.

Although both the iconic films were in completely different genres, they wound up crossing paths at the Box Office. Chalamet’s film may have been a major success worldwide, but it looks like Ortega’s horror comedy ended up winning a competition that no one saw coming.

This fall, a surprising box office battle has emerged between Beetlejuice 2 and Dune 2. Both films were...

Get ready to air your grievances, because Beef — the critically-acclaimed anthology series from creator and showrunner Lee Sung Jin and A24 — has been renewed for a second installment.

Beef Season 2 will star Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, Cailee Spaeny, and Academy Award-Winner Yuh-Jung Youn.

This season’s inciting incident? A young couple witnesses an alarming fight between their boss and his wife, triggering chess moves of favors and coercion in the elitist world of a country club and its Korean billionaire owner.

Season 2 will consist of eight 30-minute episodes, with Lee returning as creator, showrunner, and executive producer. Jake Schreier will also executive produce, alongside Season 1 stars and executive producers Steven Yeun and Ali Wong.

The blistering Beef of Season...

While this year has had its fair share of surprising flops, Joker: Folie à Deux is probably one of the more surprising ones. It had the hype of Lady Gaga taking on the role of Harley Quinn and the musical twist potentially lent itself to exploring interesting territory as an R-rated sequel to a notorious comic book villain. The movie’s response would become incredibly underwhelming, and Blu-ray.com has announced that Warner Bros. is already set to release the film’s 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray release on December 17. The digital release is going to be even sooner, with a recent Variety report on the film’s box office woes revealing WB is dumping it on digital early – October 29 – in the hopes of recouping some of its $200 million investment.

Joker: Folie à Deux stars Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Zazie Beetz, Steve Coogan, and Harry Lawtey. The description reads, “Joker: Folie À Deux...

Hans Zimmer has been the sound of modern-day blockbusters, most notably his work on epic sci-fi and action movies. Many may know him from his work with Christopher Nolan, although Nolan has opted to work with Ludwig Göransson in his last two outings. Zimmer’s collaboration with Nolan on Inception even notably ushered in the trend of the “Bwaaam” musical sting that can be found in most trailers to help intensify and punctuate a dramatic turn.

Zimmer’s notes would be attached to Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune: Part Two this year. And his score would showcase some of his usual intensity along with some melodic, dramatic sounds, which feature the franchise’s signature female vocals. Unfortunately, Zimmer’s score for the film have not met the eligibility requirements to be nominated for an Academy Award, according to Variety. This is because the music surpasses the Academy’s limit on pre-existing music.

Premiering on Friday, October 25th on Apple TV+, Before stars Billy Crystal and Jacobi Jupe, who I caught up with during a recent press day to discuss the psychological thriller.

“Before” stars Billy Crystal as Eli, a child psychiatrist who, after recently losing his wife, Lynn (Judith Light), encounters a troubled young boy, Noah (Jacobi Jupe), who seems to have a haunting connection to Eli’s past. As Eli attempts to help Noah, their mysterious bond deepens, sparking haunting memories and unearthing unsettling secrets about the past. The ensemble cast also includes Rosie Perez, Maria Dizzia and Ava Lalezarzadeh.

The upcoming ten-episode atmospheric and character-driven psychological thriller is created by Sarah Thorp (“The Bounty Hunter”) who also serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer. Crystal executive produces alongside Eric Roth, pilot director Adam Bernstein and producing director Jet Wilkinson.
