Michael Crichton is, by some measures, one of the most successful writers of all time. Not only were many of his books themselves massive hits, but oftentimes, they were turned into hits movies and TV shows. Crichton even had the number one show, movie, and book at the same time. That's impressive. He also penned the scripts for several movies in his day. Yet, he didn't pen the final script for 1993's "Jurassic Park," the biggest movie ever made based on one of his books.

Crichton wrote "Jurassic Park" first as a movie before turning it into a book. That book quickly grabbed Hollywood's attention, with a bidding war ensuing over the rights to turn it into a movie. In the end, Steven Spielberg and Universal Pictures won out, with Crichton collaborating with the "E.T." filmmaker to help turn...

To celebrate the home video release of "Jurassic World Rebirth," Universal Home Entertainment invited /Film and a few other outlets to Thailand to see several of the locations where the film was shot, as well as interview director Gareth Edwards and some of the cast.

Thapanee Kiatphaibool, the governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, was on hand to explain why Thailand is a great place for Hollywood productions to shoot, and she spoke about how part of the draw is the variety of landscapes that can be found here within a relatively short distance. As if to underline that point, we spent the next few days exploring three distinctly different environments seen in the movie. Here are the highlights of our "land, air, and sea" adventure.

For the "land" section, we drove two hours from our hotel to the grasslands in Krabi, where the titanosaurus DNA is obtained in the movie.

“That f*cking deer just took the f*cking elevator.”

The first teaser trailer for a new sci-fi horror comedy titled Cold Storage has been released online, and this one looks like it could be a lot of gruesome, gloopy fun.

Starring Joe Keery (Stranger Things), Georgina Campbell (Barbarian) and Liam Neeson (The Naked Gun), the story focuses on a pair of self-storage employees (Keery and Campbell) who must fight to survive after an outbreak of a lethal parasitic fungus which makes quick - and explosively messy - work of anyone it infects.

Neeson plays a military man who first encounters the fungus, but we don't expect to see much of him in this movie (there's a good chance the trailer features shots from all of his scenes).

A trailer for Jonny Campbell’s Cold Storage has finally been unveiled. With a cast featuring Liam Neeson, Stranger Things star Joe Keery, and Barbarian star Georgina Campbell, the movie involves the main crew trying to contain the parasite at an old military facility after uncovering a secret government experiment.

With Samuel Goldwyn Films set to distribute the movie nationwide in 2026, this sci-fi comedy thriller marks the continuation of Neeson’s comedic pivot, following his stint in this year’s The Naked Gun reboot.

Liam Neeson Teams Up With Joe Keery to Avert an Apocalypse in Cold Storage

The sci-fi comedy from Campbell features Joe Keery and Georgina Campbell as two ordinary workers in a storage facility built on the remains of an old military base, which once housed biohazardous government experiments. Things go sideways after the fungus starts to escape following the rising temperature beneath the storage facility, leading...

The sci-fi comedy Cold Storage has a North American distributor and a new teaser trailer. Samuel Goldwyn Films announced they’ve picked up the rights and are planning a 2026 theatrical release.

The teaser, which has a fun B-movie vibe, stars Joe Keery (Stranger Things), Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), and Liam Neeson (Taken). Sosie Bacon (Smile), Vanessa Redgrave (Mission: Impossible), and Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) also star.

“Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before,” reads Samuel Goldwyn Pictures’ synopsis. “As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious and rapidly mutating microorganism multiplies and unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors on the facility’s inhabitants – human and otherwise.

With time running out,...

Liam Neeson is short on patience as he attempts to put an end to a deadly outbreak in the trailer for Cold Storage.

Neeson, who currently stars in Paramount’s reboot of The Naked Gun, appears to be delivering another mixture of quips and thrills with the dark comedy that is planning a 2026 theatrical release from Samuel Goldwyn Films. Jonny Campbell (Dracula, Westworld) helms the film that hails from StudioCanal and also stars Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell, Sosie Bacon, Vanessa Redgrave and Lesley Manville.

Cold Storage centers on Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two employees of a self-storage facility located at the site of a former U.S. military base, who discover a parasitic fungus has escaped from within the complex’s depth. Soon, people in the building are dealing with the quickly mutating microorganism that makes bodies explode.

“This place was military storage back in the day,” Keery notes...

Hardly 25 hours after Samuel Goldwyn Films and Studio Canal released the first official poster for Cold Storage, the studio has unveiled the first teaser for the film, which is coming to theaters sometime next year.Liam Neeson (Taken) and Joe Keery (Stranger Things) star in the film, alongside Georgina Campbell (Black Mirror). Sosie Bacon (Smile), Vanessa Redgrave (Mission: Impossible), and Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) will also star in the film, which hails from director Jonnhy Campbell (Dracula) and writer David Koepp (Jurassic Park). Cold Storage follows two young employees at a self-storage company built on the site of an old military base who have a wild night when a parasitic fungus escapes. They must work together to contain the fungus before it evolves and wipes out the entire planet.

Cold Storage writer David Koepp is one of the most accomplished scribes in movie history. He kicked off this year with Black Bag,...

Imagine if there was a spin-off to The Last of Us that starred Liam Neeson as a retired bioterror operative who teams up with a couple of young kids to stop a zombie outbreak. Imagine even further if that spin-off was a horror comedy thriller filled with over-the-top gore, and you have yourself Cold Storage, the new flick by director Jonny Campbell that was written by the same person who's penned such hits as Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, and Spider-Man.

Thankfully, you don't have to imagine it any longer, as the first trailer for Cold Storage just dropped (seen below), and if it's any indication of what the actual movie will be like, we're in for a real treat when it hits theaters next year. Seriously, this movie has everything from exploding heads and a military cover-up, to elevator-riding deer and infected felines. What's not to love?

Written by David Koepp...

Action icon Liam Neeson has teamed up with Stranger Things star Joe Keery and Barbarian breakout Georgina Campbell for his next major movie. All three star in the first trailer for Cold Storage.

Samuel Goldwyn Films has released the official teaser trailer for Cold Storage, which follows two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old U.S. military base — Keery's Teacake and Campbell's Naomi — as they have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base where it was sealed away by the government years before. As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious and rapidly mutating microorganism multiplies and unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors on the facility’s inhabitants – human and otherwise.

The trailer for Cold Storage has just dropped, giving audiences a first look at the tense, action‑packed thriller based on David Koepp’s 2019 novel. Directed by Jonny Campbell and written by Koepp, the film blends survival horror and disaster drama in one gripping story.

The plot follows a dangerous outbreak when a fast‑mutating and highly contagious fungus escapes from a sealed lab.

The first trailer for Cold Storage is here, giving a tense look at the upcoming American thriller based on David Koepp’s 2019 novel. The movie is directed by Jonny Campbell and written by Koepp himself.

The film follows a dangerous outbreak after a mutating, fast-spreading fungus escapes a sealed lab. Two young employees, played by Joe Keery and Georgina Campbell, team up with a hardened bioterror expert, played by Liam Neeson, to survive a terrifying night and stop the infection before it wipes out humanity.

Joe Keery (“Stranger Things“) and Georgina Campbell embark on the wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes to explode flesh in the new trailer for Cold Storage, debuted by Variety this morning.

Samuel Goldwyn Films will release Cold Storage in theaters in 2026.

Cold Storage received an “R “last week for “violent content, gore, and language.” That definitely reflects in the new trailer, below, which highlights some rather explosive side effects from the parasitic fungus.

The film follows “Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before. As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious and rapidly mutating microorganism multiplies and unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors on the facility’s inhabitants – human and otherwise.

Three years have gone by since we first heard about the comedic sci-fi virus thriller Cold Storage, which went into production two years ago. Earlier this year, we learned that Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired the North American distribution rights and are planning to give the film a nationwide theatrical release… but that’s not expected to happen until sometime in 2026. While we wait for a specific release date to be announced, a teaser trailer has dropped online and can be seen in the embed above.

Doctor Who and Westworld director Jonny Campbell took the helm of Cold Storage, working from a screenplay by David Koepp. Koepp has been one of the biggest screenwriters in Hollywood for about thirty years at this point, having worked on such films as Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Panic Room, Spider-Man, War of the Worlds, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,...

The trailer for Liam Neeson's next movie, Cold Storage, has arrived. Neeson plays Pentagon bioterror operative Robert Quinn in the apocalyptic horror-comedy movie, which follows two self-storage company employees (Stranger Things' Joe Keery and Barbarian's Georgina Campbell) who accidentally unleash a parasitic fungus upon the world.

While this premise sounds similar to the post-apocalyptic HBO series The Last of Us and the video games it is based on, Cold Storage adapts a 2019 novel by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp. Koepp also wrote the screenplay for the movie, which was directed by Alien Autopsy's Jonny Campbell and is set to debut in 2026.

Samuel Goldwyn Films has now unveiled the official trailer for Cold Storage. The trailer begins in an apocalyptic landscape where a team in Hazmat suits discovers horribly desiccated corpses. While this scene is intense, the comedy angle kicks in when the trailer introduces Keery and Campbell's bumbling characters,...

"We have a real problem here!" Studiocanal has unveiled the first look teaser trailer for a new sci-fi horror comedy called Cold Storage, arriving to watch sometime in early 2026. No final dates set yet. It's being distributed by Studiocanal in Europe, and handled by Samuel Goldwyn Films in the US and is expected to premiere at a few horror film festivals this fall. Don't let it spread.

The viral fandoms for both Liam Neeson and Joe Keery can finally unite thanks to the new sci-fi dark comedy “Cold Storage.” The “Naked Gun” and “Taken” icon and the “Stranger Things” actor both star in the latest film from legendary screenwriter David Koepp, who adapted his own novel for the screen.

“Barbarian” breakout Georgina Campbell co-leads the feature with Keery; the duo play two workers at storage facility that uncover a biohazardous government experiment. Neeson of course plays the fixer character enlisted to contain the parasite.

The synopsis reads: “Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old U.S. military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before.

Jurassic World Rebirth, directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, hit theaters in 2025 as the latest chapter in the long-running Jurassic Park franchise. Set three years after Jurassic World Dominion, this fourth Jurassic World film follows a new team traveling to an island near the equator, one of the last places where dinosaurs can survive.

Their mission is to collect DNA samples from some of the largest prehistoric creatures to help develop a treatment for heart disease. Along the way, they rescue a family stranded on the island, and together they face dangers trying to survive.

The movie premiered in London on June 17, 2025, and was released in the U.S. and Canada on July 2 by Universal Pictures. Critics gave Jurassic World Rebirth mixed reviews, though many saw it as an improvement over previous sequels. The film made a solid $768 million worldwide on a $180–225 million budget, becoming the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2025.

Recently,...

The recently released deleted scene from Jurassic World Rebirth gives fans a closer look at the franchise’s famous velociraptors, a moment many wish had stayed in the final cut. Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, Jurassic World Rebirth came out in 2025 as the fourth film in the Jurassic World series and the seventh overall in the Jurassic Park saga.

The movie stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein.

The story takes place three years after Jurassic World Dominion and follows a team traveling to a deserted island research facility. This island is home to the three largest prehistoric creatures and provides a critical source of DNA samples needed to create a heart disease treatment.

Along the way, the group also rescues a family stranded on the island, and both groups fight to survive the dangers they face.

Jurassic World Rebirth...

Liam Neeson is dominating the conversation right now thanks to his hilarious performance in The Naked Gun, but mere days after its release in theaters, another one of his upcoming projects just got an exciting new look. Studio Canal has officially released the first poster for Cold Storage, the upcoming sci-fi thriller following a bioterror operative and two young employees (Joe Keery and Georgina Campbell) who must contain a mutating, highly contagious virus and survive the wildest night shift to save humanity from extinction. The film is coming to theaters sometime next year, but it has not yet nailed down an official release date. Jonny Campbell is stepping behind the camera to direct Cold Storage, and David Koepp wrote the script for the film, which is based on his novel. Koepp recently penned Jurassic World Rebirth and Black Bag.

Liam Neeson, Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), and Joe Keery (“Stranger Things”) are dealing with one nasty fungal infection in the upcoming comedic sci-fi horror movie Cold Storage.

A brand new poster for the film has arrived this morning, bringing with it a lethal warning: “If it spreads, you’re dead.”

More importantly, the poster reveals that Samuel Goldwyn Films will release Cold Storage in theaters in 2026.

The film follows “Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before.

Jonathan Bailey is already stirring sequel buzz for Jurassic World Rebirth before the movie even lands on digital. In a recent interview with Et Online, the actor laughed about not knowing exactly where the story could go next but called the film a perfect “reset” for the franchise. He even joked that he’d skip his next vacation if it meant helping director Gareth Edwards on another installment.

Edwards didn’t confirm any direct sequel plans but pointed out that previous Jurassic films often left certain characters out, only to bring them back later. The duo together added:

Remember, the second Jurassic film didn’t have Dr. Alan Grant… or Ellie… but they came back in the third one.

That comment alone has us wondering if a similar approach could shape the next chapter.

Jurassic World Rebirth will be available to rent and buy digitally on Amazon, Apple TV, and Fandango,...

The 1898 bestseller, The War of the Worlds, by H. G. Wells, has received numerous adaptations over the years, beginning with Orson Welles' 1938 radio drama. This year has also seen a film adaptation, the latest of all and coming on the heels of the 2023 War of the Worlds: The Attack, directed by Junaid Syed. The adaptation in question is the Ice Cube-starring War of the Worlds, released by Universal Pictures just last week, which has now officially received a Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes alongside highly unfavorable reviews from critics.

War of the Worlds, directed by Rich Lee, has been dealt a rare 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, days after its debut on Amazon Prime Video on July 30, 2025.

Jurassic Park Trilogy Returns To Netflix US(Photo Credit –Prime Video)

Jurassic Park changed everything when it hit theaters in 1993. The dinosaurs came stomping onto the screen in a way with effects never seen before, coupled with terrific storytelling, and audiences were hooked from the very first scene.

The original, directed by Steven Spielberg and from Michael Crichton’s novel, was a monster success, introducing Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm – characters that audiences love even decades later. The original film’s success proved that sequels were only a matter of time, and although none have the sheer impact of the original, they cemented their place in movie history. The Lost World brought back Ian Malcolm and added a darker tone, but still cashed in big. Jurassic Park III returned to the island with Grant and Sattler, and while reviews were mixed, it is still a casual movie success.

Mahershala Ali joins the cast of Jurassic World Rebirth, bringing his Oscar-winning talent to the legendary dinosaur franchise. He is known for his powerful performances in Moonlight and Green Book. Over the years, Ali has built a reputation for choosing meaningful, high-quality projects. As a result, his involvement in Jurassic World Rebirth signals that this new installment will focus on both compelling storytelling and thrilling spectacle.

One of the biggest draws for Ali was the script — written by David Koepp, the original Jurassic Park writer. Koepp’s return to the series has sparked excitement among longtime fans. In addition, many believe his involvement will help the film recapture the tone and heart of the franchise’s beginnings.

Mahershala Ali on the Relentless...

Jurassic World Rebirth is stomping its way up a major box office chart. The new Universal movie, which was directed by Gareth Edwards from a screenplay by David Koepp, is the seventh feature-length installment in the Jurassic Park franchise, focusing on a group of new original characters portrayed by Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey.

Per The Numbers, Jurassic World Rebirth took in an additional $2.4 million at the domestic box office on Tuesday, partway through its fourth full week in theaters. This brings its cumulative domestic total to $305.7 million, cementing its status as the third highest-grossing domestic movie of the year so far.

Additionally, its global box office haul has reached a total of at least $723.8 million, which sees it racing up Universal's all-time chart. It has surpassed the $719.4 million global total earned by 2021's F9: The Fast Saga to become the studio's 19th highest-grossing movie of all time.

Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired the North American rights to Studiocanal’s comedic sci-fi horror movie Cold Storage, and it has officially received an “R” rating.

Cold Storage has been rated “R“ this week for “violent content, gore, and language.”

Joe Keery (“Stranger Things“), Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), Liam Neeson (Taken), Sosie Bacon (Smile), Vanessa Redgrave (Mission: Impossible), and Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) star.

The film follows “Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two employees at a self-storage facility built atop a former military base, whose night shift transforms into a nightmare when a government-sealed parasitic fungus escapes from the underground levels. As temperatures rise, the microorganism unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting mayhem on anything in its path. The duo must join forces with a weathered bioterror operative (Neeson) to contain the threat before it triggers humanity’s extinction.”

The pesky Cordyceps fungus strikes again in the genre space, spelling disaster, suspense, and death in Cold Storage.

Chris Pratt is currently hard at work filming the second season of his hit Prime Video series, The Terminal List. However, just a few years ago, he starred in a blockbuster that’s maintained its status as a global streaming sensation. Pratt stars alongside Bryce Dallas Howard (Deep Cover) and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) in Jurassic World Dominion, the 2022 film that capped off Pratt’s Jurassic World trilogy that began in 2015. Jurassic World Dominion is currently streaming on Peacock in America, but globally, it’s become a streaming sensation on platforms such as Amazon, iTunes, Google, and more, trending in over 50 countries. The film earned a 29% from critics and 77% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed almost exactly $1 billion at the worldwide box office against a $185 million budget.

During a 2022 interview on The Today Show, Pratt said he thought Jurassic World Dominion would be “the end” of the franchise.

Steven Spielberg is almost singlehandedly responsible for creating '80s American movie pop culture as we know it. His work not only broke commercial records and broke new ground in how films could get made, but they defined the look and feel of the '80s on screen. He also influenced virtually every filmmaker of the last 30 years in one way or another, so it's hard for a high-concept genre film not to have some inspiration from a Spielberg movie, whether it's an action-adventure movie grabbing from "Raiders of the Lost Ark," a sci-fi family movie grabbing from "E.T.," or a creature feature taking cues from "Jurassic Park" or "Jaws."

Homages, callbacks, nods, and outright recreations of Spielberg's movies are common, but when it comes to movies Spielberg himself is involved with, they become a big no-no for the legendary filmmaker. At least, that's what Gareth Edwards experienced when working on "Jurassic World Rebirth,...

This August, Netflix is bringing you a lot of entertainment, from the highly anticipated next chapter of the worldwide hit series Wednesday to the much-awaited murder mystery film The Thursday Murder Club. However, for the purposes of this article, we are only including the films that are coming to Netflix next month and have an 80% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score. So, check out the eight best films that are coming to Netflix in August 2025 with an 80% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score.

Dazed and Confused (August 1) Rt Score: 94% Credit – Gramercy Pictures

Dazed and Confused is a coming-of-age comedy film written and directed by Richard Linklater. The 1993 film is set in the 1970s in Austin, Texas, and it revolves around a group of teenagers on their last day of high school as they try to attend a party at the local pool.

Given its impressive box office performance, a sequel to Jurassic World: Rebirth feels all but guaranteed.

Over the weekend, the film’s global total climbed to $718.4 million, earning $301.5 million in North America and $416.8 million from international markets.

With a production budget reportedly set at $180 million and an additional $90 million spent on marketing, Rebirth needed to bring in roughly $540 million globally to break even, based on the standard 50/50 revenue share with theaters. It surpassed that benchmark weeks ago.

As ticket sales continue to rise, analysts now predict the film could easily surpass $800 million worldwide by the end of its theatrical run, strengthening the case for another installment in the franchise.

Jurassic World Rebirth's box office is just $282 million away from continuing a major franchise streak. Directed by Gareth Edwards with a script by the franchise's original screenwriter David Koepp, the new Jurassic World movie follows a team journeying to an island that was once used as a dinosaur research facility to collect samples essential for developing a treatment for heart disease.

Jurassic World Rebirth's cast introduces several high-profile stars to the franchise, including two-time Oscar nominee Scarlett Johansson, two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, Bridgerton breakout and Emmy nominee Jonathan Bailey (Fellow Travelers), Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland), The Lincoln Lawyer star Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein.

Rebecca Romijn, returning as Mystique in next year’s Avengers: Doomsday, suggests that the script isn’t “finished”, despite filming being underway.

Shooting began on Marvel’s expansive, majorly expensive Avengers: Doomsday in April this year, with directors Anthony and Joe Russo rushing to get the film ready for a December 2026 release date. The production’s a good few weeks into its production, then, but according to one prominent member of its huge ensemble, the script is still being written as cameras roll.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at Comic Con (via Collider), actor Rebecca Romijn was there to promote Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. When asked about her role in Avengers: Doomsday, however, Romijn, who’s reprising her turn as Mystique from the X-Men movies, expressed uncertainty.

Not only did she say she was “not quite sure” whether the Russos had filmed all of her scenes or not, but...

Netflix is going all out next month for U.S. subscribers, and we’re loving it! The renowned streaming service has announced a ton of amazing titles scheduled to arrive in just a few days, including both classics and more recent films. Among the older titles are three iconic films from the Jurassic Park (or Jurassic World) franchise created by the late Michael Crichton.

On August 1, the first Jurassic Park trilogy will arrive on the streamer, according to What's on Netflix, featuring the titular first installment, as well as The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and Jurassic Park III. Released in June 1993, Jurassic Park was an adaptation of Crichton’s 1990 novel, which Steven Spielberg directed. The film starred Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum as fan-favorite scientists Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm, respectively. It was the most successful of the trilogy, both critically and commercially, cementing itself as...

Jurassic World Rebirth isn't just conquering the box office; it's also helping its predecessors rise on streaming. Three years after getting mauled by critics, 2022's Jurassic World Dominion has seen a massive increase in streaming views due to the renewed interest in the franchise following Rebirth's debut.

According to Deadline, since Jurassic World Rebirth hit theaters on July 2, the franchise as a whole has seen a 51% increase in streaming views week-over-week, with Dominion in particular seeing a dino-sized 186% boost in the week immediately following Rebirth's New York premiere on June 23. "Jurassic World Rebirth is a true summer blockbuster event driving audiences to theaters, and we’re thrilled to see them craving even more from this beloved franchise on Peacock. As the streaming home of the Jurassic empire, Peacock is the place for fans to discover and rediscover these iconic films," said Jenny Storms, Chief Marketing Officer, NBCUniversal Television & Streaming,...

Netflix has been on an action movie hot streak lately, with the streamer all set to continue the trend by teaming up with the Academy Award-winning director behind The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow. Not only that, action outing, which has been described as “a harrowing ticking-clock thriller,” will also see The Suicide Squad star Idris Elba join forces with one of Netflix’s best new action heroes.

Bigelow’s Netflix thriller is titled A House of Dynamite, and a first look and new synopsis have now been revealed in anticipation of the movie’s debut, which will take place at this year’s Venice Film Festival, where it will compete. A House of Dynamite is now scheduled for a limited theatrical release before landing on Netflix on October 24, 2025. You can check out the first look and newly revealed plot synopsis below.

One of Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg's most underrated movies is set to hit a new streaming service later this summer, 14 years after its initial premiere. Super 8, makes a super entrance on Hulu next month.

Per Hulu, Super 8 will appear on the Disney-owned streaming platform beginning Aug. 1. Until its emergence on Hulu, Super 8 is largely available to rent or purchase on major digital platforms, including Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+.

Often compared to subsequent sci-fi sensation Stranger Things, Super 8 was written and directed by J.J. Abrams, with Spielberg co-producing the film alongside him through his Amblin Entertainment imprint. Super 8 centers around youth as Predator: Badlands' Elle Fanning and The Kissing Booth's Joel Courtney, then-teenage actors, feature in starring roles. The film also includes appearances by Lanterns actor Kyle Chandler and The Truman Show's Noah Emmerich.

Jurassic World Rebirth marks the seventh entry in the Jurassic Park universe. Overall, the dinosaur franchise has been an extremely successful film series, and its success continues.

2025 has been a Russian roulette for many films out there, with some projects failing to reach their full potential. However, that is not the case for Jurassic World Rebirth, although the new entry has had mixed reviews from critics. Rebirth has just overtaken Peter Jackson's creature feature King Kong two decades later, both at the domestic and international box office, as its haul indicates on The Numbers.

Jurassic World Rebirth serves as a sequel to 2022's Jurassic World Dominion, although it features a brand-new cast. The film is set five years after the Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard-led action film, and it features a world in which the recently released dinosaurs have started dying off in different climates, except in a few select regions.

Scarlett Johansson will always be known for her role as Black Widow in the MCU, but four years after she debuted in Iron Man 2, she starred in a hit sci-fi thriller that just got a devastating streaming update. Johansson stars alongside Morgan Freeman and Choi Min-sik in Lucy, the 2014 AI cyberpunk thriller following a woman who gets caught in a dark deal, only to turn the tables on her captors and transform into a deadly warrior. Lucy is currently streaming on Netflix. Unfortunately, the streamer has confirmed that the last day to watch the film will be July 31. Lucy earned scores of 67% from critics and 47% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it also grossed a whopping $469 million at the box office against a $40 million budget.

Lucy came from the mind of Luc Benson, and it’s still widely viewed among the most famous works in his career. Lucy came...

The Jurassic World franchise continues to show some bite as the dragon-filled film series' latest installment, Rebirth, continues its solid box-office performance. Amid Rebirth's theatrical run, its billion-dollar predecessor, Fallen Kingdom, rises on the streaming charts as it's a big hit with Peacock subscribers.

Per Flix Patrol, Fallen Kingdom continues its stronghold on Peacock's top 10 movie chart. Having established itself in the top 10 last month, Fallen Kingdom is now 3rd on Peacock's chart, which is topped by another Universal Pictures title, Drop, starring Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar.

The second Jurassic World entry and fifth installment in the Jurassic Park franchise, Fallen Kingdom features Guardians of the Galaxy franchise lead Chris Pratt alongside award-winning actor and director Bryce Dallas Howard. The duo reprised their roles from Jurassic World alongside Jeff Goldblum and Bd Wong, with Spanish director J.A. Bayona helming the sequel and Jurassic Park director Steven Spielberg producing it.

Jurassic World Rebirth Plot

The film’s...

The latest chapter of Universal Pictures’ Jurassic World franchise, Jurassic World: Rebirth, is heading to digital platforms faster than a Velociraptor running full speed toward a reflective kitchen cabinet door. According to DVDs Release Dates, Jurassic World: Rebirth comes to digital on August 5, 2025, just one month after stomping into cinemas!

Jurassic World: Rebirth is a colossal hit for Universal with a global box office total of $532.6M+ as of the time of this posting. While DC Studios and James Gunn’s Superman punched its way to the top of the box office charts this past weekend, plenty of people are still purchasing tickets to the latest Jurassic blockbuster, starring Scarlett Johansson alongside the most menacing creatures to walk the planet.

Jurassic World Rebirth sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea, and air. Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion,...

Jurassic World Rebirth might still be devouring the competition in theaters, but Universal Pictures is already looking ahead to its next big move — home entertainment. Despite becoming one of the year’s biggest box office hits, the dino blockbuster will be arriving on digital platforms much sooner than expected. According to DVDs Release Dates, Jurassic World Rebirth is set for digital release on August 5, 2025, just over a month after its theatrical debut. That means if you haven’t braved the multiplex crowds — or simply want to relive the spectacle from the comfort of your sofa — your chance is almost here.

Set five years after JurassicWorld Dominion, the reboot/sequel hybrid finds dinosaurs still clinging to survival in pockets of equatorial environments. A big pharma company sends an elite team to a remote island to recover genetic material from the planet’s last surviving giants — creatures that may hold the key to a life-saving medical breakthrough.

32 years ago, Steven Spielberg changed blockbuster cinema forever when he wowed moviegoers with a photorealistic brachiosaurus early in the first act of "Jurassic Park." This creature was a stunning sight for a couple of reasons, the first being that many of us went into the film thinking the director of "Jaws" would tease the reveal of the dinos for much longer than he did. The second was the jaw-dropping realization that we'd just watched computer-generated imagery take an unfathomable leap from the impressive liquid metal morphing of the T-1000 in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" to something that felt like pure sorcery.

Where to go from here? After some initial timidity, Hollywood went whole hog on CGI, which only served to demonstrate that these new tools were best left to filmmakers who understood how to deftly integrate visual effects into the fabric of a practically shot movie. Alas, the studios demanded...

After a strong debut, there was speculation that Jurassic World Rebirth might cut into Superman’s opening weekend box office. However, both films appear to have found a way to coexist in North America, managing to perform well without significantly hurting each other.

In its second weekend, Jurassic World Rebirth saw a 57% drop in domestic earnings, fairly standard for a major tentpole release. Looking at other top 2025 films, this trend holds:

Lilo & Stitch opened with $146.01 million and dropped 57% to $63 million in weekend number two. A Minecraft Movie debuted at $162.75 million, followed by $80.6 million the next weekend- a 50% dip. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning went from $64.04 million to $27.22 million- a 57% drop. How to Train Your Dragon opened at $84.63 million, dropping 56% to $36.58 million the following weekend. Sinners, however, broke the pattern, falling just 5% from $48.01 million to $45 million- a highly unusual hold for a blockbuster.

In short, Jurassic World Rebirth’s performance...

Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest sequel in the Jurassic universe and the official reboot of the franchise (though why Universal stuck with "World" instead of launching a new sub-brand is a matter of debate), has turned into one of the biggest films of the year after a theatrical run that's still ongoing. Though fans have flocked to theaters and the film has accomplished one of the most successful runs in the franchise, there are some who prefer to catch it at home. We have some good news for those fans, as Jurassic World Rebirth already has a digital streaming release date.

Per the site DVDs Release Dates, Jurassic World Rebirth will be released on digital platforms on August 5, 2025, giving fans a chance to watch one of the most exciting adventures of the year in the comfort of their home. The film follows a group put together by a big pharma...
