Taylor Sheridan‘s debut film as a screenwriter, Sicario, which earned 3 Oscar nominations, is scheduled to leave Netflix on August 31, 2025. The timing of the film’s exit couldn’t be worse, as it comes on the heels of a positive Sicario 3 update, especially since the threequel spent years languishing in ambiguity.

Franchise star Josh Brolin recently claimed in an interview on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast:

I was like, ‘Yeah, [Sicario 3] is never going to happen.’ And then the producers showed up and Molly [Smith] and [they said], ‘That’s not true!’ Which is fine. And then I just heard recently that it’s very, very real. So, cool.

Sicario has been one of the most celebrated and acclaimed films for a decade since its release. Currently, the film holds an impressive 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, leaving critics and audiences in awe of Denis Villeneuve‘s raw, visceral, tense, unyielding, and poignant masterpiece.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson may be leading the Bond Odds right now, but it’s his upcoming movie Fuze that’s raising a storm. The heist action thriller helmed by the Bullet Train star follows the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb in the heart of bustling London. Under the cover of the ensuing chaos of mass evacuation, a planned heist gets underway.

Designed to hit all the right buttons, Fuze is Ocean’s Eleven on steroids. With a stellar cast comprising Theo James (Divergent), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle), Sam Worthington (Avatar), and Saffron Hocking (Top Boy), Taylor-Johnson’s film will be helmed by the criminally brilliant director of Hell or High Water, David Mackenzie.

F.A.S.T., a new action movie written by hit showrunner Taylor Sheridan, has found its leading men. The movie will tell the story of a former special forces commando who is enlisted by the DEA to take on drug dealers in his town who happen to be under the protection of the CIA. Filming begins in August.

Taylor Sheridan has become one of the most successful showrunners of the modern TV era, having created Yellowstone, Landman, Lioness, Mayor of Kingstown, 1923, 1883, and more. But he is also a successful screenwriter, having penned Denis Villeneuve’s Sicario and David Mackenzie’s Hell or High Water. F.A.S.T. will be directed by longtime Sheridan collaborator Ben Richardson.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Lakeith Stanfield, Sam Claflin, Trevante Rhodes, and Jason Clarke are signed on to appear in F.A.S.T., a new action film written by Yellowstone and 1923 showrunner Taylor Sheridan. They join 1923's Brandon Sklenar.

Emerging as one of Hollywood's most prominent young talents, Timothée Chalamet first appeared in 2014 with the dramedy Men, Women & Children before featuring in Christopher Nolan's sci-fi spectacle Interstellar. His breakout came in 2017, portraying a tenderly lovestruck youth in Luca Guadagnino's Call Me By Your Name, earning his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor as one of the category's youngest contenders.

In the years following, Chalamet balanced notable supporting turns in Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird (2017) and Little Women (2019) with a riveting lead in Beautiful Boy (2018), embodying the harrowing struggles of a drug addict. His ascent continued with commanding performances in big-budget productions, most notably as Paul Atreides in Denis Villeneuve's Dune saga and as the whimsical chocolatier in Wonka (2023).

Demonstrating both range and creative ambition, Chalamet portrayed Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown (2024), the role securing him a second Academy Award nomination and the historic achievement of becoming...

A crime thriller with 92% on Rotten Tomatoes that features a script written by Taylor Sheridan will be leaving Netflix in the very near future. Sheridan will be best known to many viewers for creating the Yellowstone universe, as well as shows like Tulsa King, Lioness, Landman, and Mayor of Kingstown.

Sheridan, however, also has an impressive resume outside the world of TV, having written a number of popular movies. He wrote Without Remorse (2021), Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021), Wind River (2017), which he also directed, and Hell or High Water (2016). One of the most notable films he scripted, though, remains 2015's Sicario.

Per confirmation from the streamer, Sicario now only has a limited amount of time left on Netflix, with August 31 set to be the last day it will be available to subscribers. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the movie remains one of the most acclaimed of both filmmakers' careers, and it's...

Steven Knight is a name that is only set to get bigger if he sticks to the most recent job he's been hired for. The creator of mold-breaking television drama "Peaky Blinders" has been tasked with penning Denis Villeneuve's James Bond movie, and given his impressive body of work, it's understandable to see why. Besides writing the Cillian Murphy-led gangster drama (which is getting a film of its own), he's also penned the likes of Jason Momoa's "See," along with recent boxing drama on Disney+, "A Thousand Blows." One show that's massively overlooked and shouldn't be, however, is a World War II drama that debuted on Epix before it changed to MGM+. This isn't some short-lived series, either, but one that has so far earned a distinguished score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Debuting in 2022, "Sas: Rogue Heroes" is based on the book "Sas: Rogue Heroes – the Authorized...

Based on the graphic novel written by Frank Herbert, Denis Villeneuve directed the epic saga Dune. In 2021, the first film made waves not only at the box office but also among the viewers as it was something new and extraordinary. The sci-fi movie starred Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Momoa, Oscar Issac, and others in important roles. It was released in theaters as well as on Max on the same day, and despite that, it earned six Oscars.

Most of the original cast members, along with some new faces, starred in the second installment of the film franchise. Even though the 2021 movie featured a stellar cast, there was a salary difference between the male and female actors. Chalamet and Momoa received a handsome amount in comparison to Zendaya and Rebecca. Scroll ahead to find out.

Here’s What Ridley Scott Said About Turning Down Blade Runner 2049 (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Let’s take a moment to picture this: Ridley Scott stuck in a sci-fi dilemma for the ages. The chance to direct the sequel to one of the genre’s greatest films or stick with the dark, suspense-filled world of Alien? The man didn’t have to make that choice, but… he did. And looking back, Scott doesn’t wear it as a badge of honor. “I shouldn’t have had to make that decision,” he once admitted to Empire (via Variety), adding, “But I had to. I should have done Blade Runner 2.”

Here’s a truth bomb from the king of dystopian cinema: Ridley Scott passed on directing Blade Runner 2049 in 2017 because he was knee-deep in Alien: Covenant. Tough choice, but he made it. Instead of diving back into replicant territory, he...

After 15 years of bringing James Bond to life over the course of five films, Daniel Craig officially retired from the role of 007 in 2021's "No Time To Die." The film served as a definitive send-off to Craig's iteration of the character, who was subject to varied quality with his films. The odd-numbered entries were great, while the even-numbered entries left much to be desired ("Quantum of Solace" and "Spectre").

Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Denis Villeneuve is set to direct "James Bond 26," which he will tackle right after he completes work on his much-anticipated trilogy capper, "Dune: Part Three." Naturally, most of the speculation online is now on who will succeed Daniel Craig. While fans continue to throw out every young British actor possible for the new 007, there is at least one acclaimed actor who does not see himself as a fit, and that is none other than "Smoke" star Taron Egerton.

Netflix has no lack of great crime movies for those looking for a great story about smash-and-grab robberies, lifetime criminals or even thieving magicians. Below, we’ve put together a curated list of some of the best crime movies on Netflix right now, ranging from Oscar-winning dramas to underseen indies and beyond. There’s a little something for everyone, which speaks to the diversity of stories inside the crime genre.

The Departed Jack Nicholson and Matt Damon in “The Departed” (Warner Bros. Pictures)

Despite being the man behind classics like “Raging Bull,” “Taxi Driver” and “The King of Comedy,” Martin Scorsese didn’t win his first Oscar until 2006’s “The Departed,” a fairly straightforward crime thriller with tremendous commercial appeal. That’s not to ding “The Departed” – the movie’s a rich and wildly entertaining crime saga – but it was surprising that it was this film that finally netted Scorsese the trophy.

"Foundation" is a phenomenal work of sci-fi and one of the best shows on AppleTV, or generally on the air currently. It takes a work that was considered unadaptable, a dense work of fiction with a vast scope but not much action, and turns it into a blockbuster that balances fun with deeper philosophical talks and themes — kind of Denis Villeneuve's recent adaptation of "Dune."

Based on Isaac Asimov's hugely influential book series of the same name, "Foundation" is a saga about the fall of the Galactic Empire. People scattered throughout the galaxy attempt to prevent humanity from falling into a dark age after the end of Empire by establishing a foundation to preserve knowledge. For three seasons, we've followed the Foundation as it grew from a small group of people to a legitimate threat to the Empire, while a mysterious pirate named The Mule began a conquest...

Josh Brolin would be willing to return to the MCU world in the time it takes Thanos to snap his fingers.

The Weapons actor recently sat down with Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast for a sprawling interview touching on his past and future projects, including whether he would inhabit the Avengers franchise again.

“If they [the Russo Brothers] called me in London right now and said, ‘Let’s do this,’ I’d be like, ‘I’ll be there tomorrow,'” Brolin said of his time as the Big Bad in movies Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Speaking more broadly to the filmmaking duo’s helming of 2026’s upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, Brolin said: “Of course they’re gonna come up with something really fun. I mean, who knows? That [Endgame] was a 10-year and a building kind of thing and that was its own bookended deal, and I don’t know what they’re gonna do,...

After the success of Denis Villeneuve’s Dunemovies, fans around the world know Rebecca Fergusonas the Reverend Mother. The actor’s exceptional performance isn’t limited to the big screen, as the audience also saw Ferguson in an equally headstrong avatar in the dystopian world of Apple TV’s Silo. Helmed by fan-favorite creator Graham Yost, the sci-fi series is considered underrated despite a great response.

But that seems to be changing, as months after the finale of Season 2,the series is again steadily gaining traction on Apple TV charts. It has maintained a strong position at #9 on the top 10 charts in the past week. Silo had an impeccable Season 1 with an 89% Rotten Tomatoes score, while the second season scored even better at 94%.

A lot more has come out of Jeff Bezos‘ recent wedding celebrations with his beloved, Lauren Sánchez. The latest reports claim that he has found the next perfect Bond girl for his 007 saga at his wedding party: Sydney Sweeney!

According to the latest reports from RadarOnline.com, the 27-year-old is topping the list of prospective actresses who could be the next Bond girl in the peerless spy franchise, especially because of her friendship with the director, who is reportedly onboard to tame the next film for the lore. As confirmed by an insider,

Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond.

Sounds like Sweeney just might be the next contender in line to continue the legacy left behind by other iconic actresses who have embodied the significant female companion of James Bond. This includes the likes of Ursula Andress, Diana Rigg, Jill St. John, Jane Seymour,...

Stars: Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Amy Madigan, Benedict Wong, Cary Christopher, Austin Abrams | Written and Directed by Zach Cregger

Writer-director Zach Cregger returns with compelling horror mystery Weapons, a worthy follow-up to his acclaimed 2022 hit Barbarian. Impressively structured, terrifically tense and superbly acted, it’s one of the best films of the year.

Set in a small suburban town, the film begins with a child’s voiceover explaining that earlier that week, at exactly 2.17am, seventeen children from the same class all went missing simultaneously, running out of their homes in bizarre fashion, as if they were playing at being aeroplanes. With the community bewildered and angry, fingers are pointed at the children’s teacher, Justine Gandy (Julia Garner), but there’s also the unexplained mystery of why just one lonely young boy in her class, Alex (Cary Christopher), was spared.

The story is structured with six chapters,...

Warner Bros. has kept “Weapons,” its new original horror movie from “Barbarian” director Zach Cregger, close to the chest when it came to providing early looks to the majority of the entertainment press. Still, IndieWire’s “Screen Talk” co-hosts Anne Thompson and Ryan Lattanzio did finally get a chance to see the movie earlier this week, which is about 17 schoolchildren from the same class who go missing in the dead of night in a small town, leaving just one classmate behind.

And, lo and behold, it’s a brilliantly entertaining and twisty movie that Warner Bros. ought to want more critics and press to see.

The cast is terrific — Julia Garner as an alcoholic teacher bucking under mental torture by her students’ parents, Alden Ehrenreich as a mustachied cop, Josh Brolin as a brawny grieving dad, and Austin Abrams as a twitchy druggie who may have stumbled on the key to the mystery.

For years, Sicario 3 has been teased, and now Josh Brolin has given an exciting update on the third installment, detailing whether Denis Villeneuve will return to direct. The Sicario franchise launched in 2015 with Villeneuve’s tense, critically acclaimed thriller exploring the U.S. war on drugs at the southern border, starring Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, and Brolin.

Sicario was an instant hit, sparking the 2018 sequel, Stefano Sollima’s Sicario: Day of the Soldado, which shifted focus towards Brolin and del Toro’s characters. While it lacked Villeneuve as director and Blunt’s character, it still expanded the franchise’s world and ended on a note that teased another chapter, leaving many to wonder if there would be a Sicario 3.

During a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Brolin, who plays Matt Graver, admitted that, although he once thought a third Sicario film was unlikely, Brolin...

Steven Knight's This Town has been canceled by the BBC. This Town failed to hit the viewership figures the BBC desired. Knight will also work on the next James Bond movie with Denis Villeneuve and other industry heavyweights.

Peaky Blinderscreator Steven Knight is one of the UK's most prestigious and prolific writers. From the highly-rated Sas: Rogue Heroesto the Hulu series A Thousand Blows starring Stephen Graham, Knight has a wonderful track record of producing critically acclaimed and popular series for the small screen. However, it seems one of his most recent projects, the music-themed historical seriesThis Town, hasn't quite lived up to Knight's normal standards and now faces the chopping block.

According to new reports,This Town has now been officially axed by the BBC following its debut season, despite receiving some positive reception, with a decent 67% critics' score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, joined by an impressive 83% rating from audience members.

The drug war isn't over just yet. According to Josh Brolin, who starred in both Sicario films as CIA operative Matt Graver, a third installment in the gritty action franchise is “very, very real.” In a recent podcast interview, Brolin confirmed that writer Taylor Sheridan is back at work on the long-awaited follow-up to his critically acclaimed thriller. The conversation turned to the potential Sicario 3 around the 43-minute mark, prompting Brolin to clarify past comments that the project was unlikely to happen. “I mentioned at some point, I don’t know, just to be contrary, I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s never going to happen,’” Brolin said with a laugh. “And then the producers showed up, and Molly [Smith] and you know, ‘That’s not true.’ Which is fine.”

He added, “And I just heard recently that it’s very, very real. So, cool.” While Brolin didn’t confirm whether Denis Villeneuve,...

Apparently, Sicario 3 is still crawling out of the cinematic shadows. Yes, you read that right. Back in October 2023, World of Reel reported that the original cast of Sicario, Benicio del Toro, Emily Blunt, and Josh Brolin, would return for the third installment. That alone had fans breathing a sigh of relief, especially after the second film, Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado, delivered more firepower than finesse and left Blunt out of the equation entirely.

Now, in an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Brolin gave the first meaningful update in months, saying the chances of Sicario 3 happening are “very, very real”. But one major piece of the puzzle remains conspicuously missing: a director. Denis Villeneuve, who lent the original its haunting precision, is out. Stefano Sollima, who took the reins in Soldado, also won’t be returning. Naturally, all eyes turn to Taylor Sheridan, the man...

Hollywood is currently in love with legacy sequels that come decades after the original. What’s up with that?

We already knew Hollywood loved its sequels. Just look at how many Iron Mans, Nightmare On Elms Streets and Godzillas there are. We’re spoilt for choice when it comes to our favourite characters.

Especially now. Hollywood has fallen in love with a different kind of sequel; the legacy sequel or the – ready for this? – legasequel. These sequels come sometimes 20 or 30 years after their predecessor and try to recreate the magic all over again. Some succeed better than others. They’re designed to reboot a franchise as much as continue it, bringing it to the promised land of a new audience.

It’s hard to say which film specifically started the trend, but it’s certainly not a new phenomenon. Psycho got its sequel in the 80s, over 20 years after Alfred Hitchcock...

Quentin Tarantino has diminished the value of Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune movies, citing the repetitive nature of remakes and reboots. However, Villeneuve couldn’t care less about the veteran filmmaker’s opinion. During an interview on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, Qt revealed:

I saw [David Lynch’s] ‘Dune’ a couple of times. I don’t need to see that story again. I don’t need to see spice worms. I don’t need to see a movie that says the word ‘spice’ so dramatically. It’s one after another of this remake and that remake.

But Villeneuve was left unimpressed by such minimization of his work. While speaking at a Q&a panel at the Concordia University film school, the director responded to Tarantino’s comments about his films with a nonchalant “I don’t care.” [The Montreal Gazette]

With his adaptation of Frank Herbert’s literary universe, the French-Canadian filmmaker erected...

It's been seven years since Sicario: Day of the Soldado was released in theaters, and ten years since Denis Villeneuve directed the first film in the series, Sicario. While the sequel was not as widely praised as Villeneuve's entry, the two movies stand tall as exceptional modern westerns that blend with the thriller genre to tell an exciting story. Taylor Sheridan, who wrote the scripts for both, has gone on to direct and develop numerous other projects, particularly in television, including series such as Yellowstone and Landman. Now, one of the stars of both Sicario films has revealed that a third installment is in the works.

While speaking on Josh Horowitz's podcast to promote his latest film, Weapons, Josh Brolin discussed his career and future projects he will be working on. The topic of Sicario was eventually brought up, during which Brolin provided a very interesting tidbit of...

For the past month, production has been in full swing on Dune: Part Three in Budapest, with stars Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Jason Momoa all knee-deep in filming. Denis Villeneuve once again directs the third movie in his trilogy of films based on the books by Frank Herbert, with the third movie borrowing its premise from Dune Messiah.

While the first two Academy Award-nominated films had extensive casts with additional stars like Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, and Josh Brolin, Dune: Part Three has yet to formally confirm the full cast beyond the five stars mentioned above, as well as Ida Brooke and Jason Momoa's son Nakoa-Wolf Momoa as Paula and Chani's twins.

Josh Brolin returning for small role in Dune: Part Three

However, during a recent podcast appearance, Josh Brolin finally confirmed that he will in fact appear in...

Josh Brolin almost turned down the role of Matt Graver in Sicario, written by Taylor Sheridan. During a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Brolin recalled being approached for the Denis Villeneuve-directed movie that emerged as a critical and commercial success.

I turned Denise down for Sicario a couple of times.

Brolin made the above statement, revealing that he was unfamiliar with Villeneuve’s past filmography, which made him initially reluctant to work with the director. Moreover, Brolin revealed that he prefers not to work with new directors but had a great time on Sicario. Here is what Brolin had to say about almost rejecting the Sheridan-written movie.

Josh Brolin Explains Why He Doesn’t Work With New Directors Josh Brolin on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (Credit: YouTube).

Josh Brolin plays the role of Archer Graff in director Zach Cregger’s new horror movie Weapons,...

In the wake of Josh Brolin’s upcoming horror thriller Weapons, the actor has churned the rumor mill surrounding the highly anticipated threequel, Sicario: Capos. In a new interview with Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, Brolin said the chances of Sicario 3 happening are “very, very real.”

That’s a big deal considering the silence around the project for years. The original Sicario (2015), directed by Denis Villeneuve, was a gritty and intense thriller loved by critics and fans. But its sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, didn’t live up to the hype, especially with Emily Blunt missing from the cast.

Now, talks of Sicario: Capos are heating up again, with a partially written script that producers are reportedly calling “awesome.” However, no director is officially attached to the project, since Villeneuve has indicated he would not be involved, and Stefano Sollima refused to return after the disappointing sequel.

Science fiction is a genre that can leave its audience in awe or can induce existential dread. While Keanu Reeves’ The Matrix is well known to make the audience question their reality, Ridley Scott’s original Blade Runner made fans ponder over what makes us really human. While there are no definitive answers, Denis Villeneuve elaborates on the themes of Scott’s film in his follow up Blade Runner 2049. Now, fans of the franchise are eagerly waiting for the Prime Video series Blade Runner 2099 to take forward the world built by the two directors. But it sounds like they’ll have to wait some more.

Blade Runner 2099 series is set fifty years after the events of the Villeneuve-directed film that starred Ryan Gosling. And while the movies had male protagonists, Harrison Ford and Gosling, respectively, the series will feature Euphoria star Hunter Schafer along with Oscar-winner...

Before becoming a master of the modern Western genre with the Yellowstone franchise and several other action series on Paramount+, Taylor Sheridan wrote Sicario. The action film premiered in 2015 and had Dune director Denis Villeneuve at the helm.

The first film starred Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, and Josh Brolin. The last two reprised their roles in a less-successful sequel, 2018's Sicario: Day of the Soldado, but the franchise is also expected to continue with a third entry, Sicario: Capos. In a new appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, franchise star Josh Brolin gave an exciting sequel update, confirming Sicario 3 is real.

Around the 43:23 mark, the conversation reached Sicario 3, and the rumors that Brolin, del Toro, and Blunt would reprise their roles. "I mentioned at some point, I don't know, just to be contrary, I was like, 'Yeah, that's never going to happen,' " Brolin started.

Dune: Part Three's script gets a promising update from Josh Brolin, who addresses his character's role in the upcoming movie. After the massive success of the first and second installments in Denis Villeneuve's take on Frank Herbert's Dune, a threequel was quick to be announced.

Timothée Chalamet will return to lead the Dune: Part Three cast as Paul Atreides, with Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Florence Pugh, and Jason Momoa all expected to return. The film, which is currently in production, is expected to hit theaters next December.

During a recent interview on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, Brolin hypes the Dune: Part Three script, saying it's "super good." Check out his comment below:

"I have. It's very good. It is. It's very good. It's super good."

When Horowitz points out that Brolin's character, Gurney Halleck, plays a very minor role in Herbert's Dune: Messiah, Brolin suggests...

Amazon may have had some drama behind the scenes when it comes to its handling of the James Bond franchise — but the show must go on, as seen in the first trailer for Season 2 of “007: Road to a Million.”

Brian Cox leads the jet-setting reality competition show as The Controller alongside his right-hand woman Sofia (Frances McNamee). Plus, after a rather anticlimactic yet still enjoyable first season, Prime Video promises a reinvention to the Season 1 format.

“Returning as The Controller this time around, the series feels more high-octane, more immersive and definitely more Bond,” the actor said in a Thursday statement. “The challenges are bigger, the drama runs deeper and I’ve got the best seat in the house to watch it unfold.”

“In ‘007: Road to a Million’ Season 2, eight pairs of ordinary people embark on a thrilling 007-inspired global adventure. From climbing Bangkok towers to shark dives in the Bahamas,...

Robert Pattinson’s diary continues to fill up as Matt Reeves’ The Batman sequel is preparing to shoot in the spring, according to Warner Bros. Discovery.

The Batman Part II will finally begin filming next year, the company said in a letter to shareholders Thursday, aiming for an Oct. 1, 2027 theatrical release. Reeves completed the script in June.

His first DC film premiered to huge success in 2022, grossing over $770 million worldwide. Pattinson starred in the titular role and will return to Gotham in part two. He’s been busy so far this year, shooting other tentpole features such as Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune 3.

Elsewhere, “James Gunn is already preparing to write the next installment in the Super family,” David Zaslav also confirmed, with the letter detailing that Gunn is working on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026), Clayface (2026), and the next Wonder Woman.

Gunn’s Superman hit...

The Batman Part IIhas just received its biggest (and arguably most exciting) production update yet, which is sure to please DC fans. The next chapter in Matt Reeves' epic crime saga is officially one step closer to becoming a reality, as the movie has officially moved into the pre-production phase. It was not so long ago that the director confirmed that he and co-writer Mattson Tomlin had finished the script for the long-awaited sequel, but now it appears that they are moving full steam ahead to get the film ready for its planned 2027 release date.

According to ProductionList.com, and later confirmed by a recent Warner Bros. shareholders letter, the long-awaited Batman sequelhas locked in a production start date and preparations are underway for filming to begin. The prepwork includes organizing departments and hiring people for "production design, art direction, stunt coordination, costume, makeup, grip, lighting, camera, VFX, and post-production planning,...

Good news for fans of Robert Pattinson’s Dark Knight. In Warner Bros. Discovery’s recent letter to shareholders, the company announced that Matt Reeves’ long-awaited “The Batman Part II” will finally begin filming in spring 2026 for an October 2027 theatrical release. Pattinson, who’s gone from filming Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” to Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Three’ this year alone, returns in the title role.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s shareholder letter celebrated the recent success of James Gunn’s “Superman,” which kicked off the new DC Universe across film and television. The tentpole has earned nearly $550 million and counting worldwide. The company wrote: “DC Studio’s universe of characters represents not only one of Warner Bros. Discovery’s most valuable pieces of intellectual property, but one of the most valuable assets in entertainment.”

“In film, James Gunn is busy preparing the next installments of the DC super family,...

Amazon’s highly anticipated James Bond reboot is coming together very nicely so far. Much more nicely than many expected following the studio and streamer’s takeover of the iconic action franchise. With Dune director Denis Villeneuve now at the helm alongside Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight writing the script, fans are still awaiting the news regarding who will play the next 007. Well, the coveted role just got a superheroic new contender...

The current favorites for the role of James Bond continue to be the likes of 28 Years Later’s Aaron Taylor-Johnson, The Gentlemen’s Theo James, and former Superman Henry Cavill, with rumors claiming that the likes of Spider-Man star Tom Holland, Euphoria and Frankenstein star Jacob Elordi, and Babygirl and The King's Man’s Harris Dickinson are Amazon’s top three choices. However, it’s likely that who will play the role is still very much up in the air,...

The ‘House of the Dragon’ and ‘Doctor Who’ star, Matt Smith, has officially joined the cast of ‘Star Wars: Starfighter,’ the upcoming standalone feature from director Shawn Levy for Lucasfilm.

Sources close to the actor confirm that Smith will portray a key villain in the film, taking on a major role opposite previously announced stars Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth.

‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ is set to begin filming this fall, with a theatrical release date scheduled for May 28, 2027.

Scripted by Jonathan Tropper, the new instalment in the ‘Star Wars’ franchise is set approximately five years after the events of ‘Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker,’ and will introduce a slate of new characters to the beloved universe. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the film is said to expand the mythology beyond the Skywalker saga,...

The idea that Taron Egerton doesn’t see himself as James Bond is, frankly, baffling. The actor has every tool in the shed: charm, grit, screen presence, dramatic range, and yet he insists he wouldn’t be a “good choice for it”. That’s not humility; it’s probably hesitation dressed in modesty. With Denis Villeneuve officially announced to direct the next installment of the franchise and Amazon eager to revamp 007 for a new era, casting someone like Egerton isn’t just a safe bet; it’s the smart one.

Yes, Egerton has shrugged off the rumors, saying (via Collider):

I really love James Bond and particularly Daniel Craig’s tenure. But I think I wouldn’t be good at it, and I think there’s so many cool, younger actors who would be great for it. I think it would be wasted on me, probably.

But wait,...

Weapons is poised to be the scariest horror movie of 2025, with director Zack Cregger drawing from a real-life personal tragedy and several iconic movies to cook a strange, disturbing, but engaging mystery surrounding the sudden disappearance of children in a small town.

With a 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie is bound to surprise audiences. Reviews suggest Cregger has crafted a truly harrowing tale that is as emotionally charged as it is frightening. As you await the movie’s release later this week, here is a look at all the real-life inspirations Cregger drew from to make Weapons a truly unique experience.

James Mangold and Timothée Chalamet are looking to collaborate on High Side, a heist drama currently being pitched around Hollywood. More on the pair’s potential re-team below.

A Complete Unknown, this year’s Oscar-nominated Bob Dylan biopic, proved James Mangold and Timothée Chalamet were a match made in heaven when it came to filmmaking. Mangold got an electric performance out of Chalamet and A Complete Unknown scored eight Oscar nominations alongside several other awards nominations.

The pair are now looking to team up again, this time for a heist drama, High Side. Deadline has the scoop that the film, if it goes into development, would be based on Jaime Oliveira’s unpublished short story and Oliveira’s team is currently shopping the story around Hollywood.

Chalamet could play Billy, a former MotoGP racer whose career is destroyed by a tragic accident. He is drawn back into the world of...

Holland, Tom Holland? Rumors have been flying about the casting of the next James Bond and the Spider-Man actor’s name has been among them.

During an appearance in an episode of Gordon Ramsey’s YouTube series Scrambled, Holland addressed the ongoing conjecture, calling the role the “pinnacle” of working as an actor.

“Listen, there’s speculation at the minute,” Holland said when Ramsey joked about the potential of playing Bond. “We’ll keep it to a minimum for now.”

“You think?” Ramsey quipped. “Yeah, we’ll get there one day,...

Spoiler Alert: The following review contains mild spoilers.

At 2:17 a.m. on a school night, 17 children go missing all at once. They get up out of bed, open their front doors and run out into the night, arms outstretched, like stealthy little airplanes flying low across the lawns of their sleepy suburban community. The kids have one thing in common: They are all students in Justine Gandy’s third-grade class, which now sits empty, save for a shy boy named Alex, who’s as bewildered as the town’s angry parents that he was spared such a peculiar fate.

It’s an intriguing place to start a horror movie, made all the more unconventional by “Weapons” writer-director Zach Cregger’s choice to let a local girl describe the movie’s ostensibly supernatural premise. Just how much of the shocking and surprisingly gory events that follow could she have been privy to?...

The next chapter in the ‘James Bond’ franchise has found its writer — and it’s one with no shortage of grit, style, or pedigree.

Steven Knight, the acclaimed British screenwriter and creator behind the BAFTA-winning ‘Peaky Blinders,’ has officially signed on to write the script for Denis Villeneuve’s highly anticipated James Bond film. The project, still untitled, marks the first 007 instalment directed by the ‘Dune’ and ‘Sicario’ filmmaker, and represents a new creative era for the long-running spy saga.

Amy Pascal (Spider-Man: No Way Home) and David Heyman are producing the film under their respective Pascal Pictures and Heyday Films banners, with Tanya Lapointe serving as executive producer.

Knight’s involvement brings a distinct edge to the project, promising a screenplay steeped in character depth and narrative tension. Best known as the creator, executive producer, and sole writer of ‘Peaky Blinders’ — the stylish gangster drama that turned Cillian Murphy...

Mary Poppins was the most complained about cinema release of 2024, according to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) annual report.

BBFC classified more cinema features than ever before in 2024, which it said was driven largely by an increase in the number of South Asian films submitted. The board classified a total of 1,256 cinema features across 2024, a 13% increase on the 1,114 films submitted in 2023.

Of the 224 complaints made concerning BBFC classifications, 56 related to the reclassification ofRobert Stevenson’s classicMary Poppins following its resubmission in February 2024 for distribution by Park Circus. The film, while originally a U when released in 1965 by Disney...

Apple TV+ has been a thing for a little over half a decade, but the streaming service has proven itself as an excellent destination for original scripted content. When the service launched with a handful of shows in 2019, it enlisted a slew of A-list actors as leads. Jason Momoa starred in one of the earliest shows on the service, See, as Baba Voss. Two years after See ended, Momoa is back on Apple TV+ with a new drama show, Chief of War. Set in precolonial Hawai'i, the epic historical drama has been a hit with viewers and critics, currently sitting at 89% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Additionally, it is the most-watched show on the streamer currently, according to FlixPatrol, beating the likes of Foundation and Smoke for the top position. Two episodes have aired so far.

Chief of War is ambitious in the story it tells and the scale at which it does.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy used the company’s second-quarter earnings call to praise director Denis Villeneuve’s forthcoming James Bond adventure, telling investors that “James Bond is in the hands of one of today’s greatest filmmakers—we cannot wait to get started on 007’s next adventure.”

The endorsement follows Amazon MGM Studios’ June announcement that Villeneuve will direct the 26th entry in the franchise, with the filmmaker vowing to honor the series while charting “new missions to come.”

Long-time steward Barbara Broccoli, now easing away from day-to-day oversight, called Villeneuve “a fantastic filmmaker” and welcomed the hand-off after four decades at the helm. Her remarks came after a February joint venture granted Amazon creative control of 007, cementing the most significant rights shift in the series’ 62-year history.

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight was confirmed last week as screenwriter, joining producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman on the project.

Tom Holland‘s answer to speculations about his James Bond role might have hinted that the actor is nearly at the end of the finish line. While cooking with Gordon Ramsay on his YouTube channel, the actor was asked by Ramsay about the rumors of his casting as James Bond.

The actor coyly revealed that these were just speculations and that he will hold onto them for a minute because nothing seems confirmed. However, Tom Holland’s cheeky response suggests that the actor may have already signed the deal.

Listen, there’s speculation at the minute. We’ll keep it to a minimum for now. Every young British actor, it’s the pinnacle of working in our industry. I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could never have dreamed to have the career that I’ve had.

Of course, it would be an incredible opportunity for...

Amazon can already hear the strains of John Barry’s iconic theme paired with that gun barrel shot — the one to which Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig have all leant their figures. CEO Andy Jassey said on a July 31 call (which highlighted his company’s better-than-expected Q3 earning) that “James Bond is in the hands of one of today’s greatest filmmakers,” and adding, “We cannot wait to get started on 007’s next adventure.”

Jassey is referring to none other than Denis Villeneuve, who was announced in June as the next director to take on the franchise — which already has 25 official releases in its canon. Villeneuve will have the unique position of being the first steward to not be collaborating with the Broccoli family, which has overseen every Bond movie since “Dr. No” in 1962.

Ya se conocía al director –Denis Villeneuve–, pero ahora Deadline ha confirmado quién firmará el guion de la próxima entrega del agente británico más célebre del cine. Y será Steven Knight, creador de Peaky Blinders.

Aunque no han faltado rumores sobre quién podría encarnar al agente 007 –¿Tom Holland? ¿Jacob Elordi? ¿Harris Dickinson?–, lo cierto es que en las últimas semanas todas las miradas han estado puestas exclusivamente en quién se encargaría del guion. Según fuentes cercanas a la producción, se han mantenido varias reuniones con posibles candidatos antes de elegir finalmente a Steven Knight.

En cuanto al futuro intérprete de James Bond, no se espera una decisión a corto plazo, ya que Villeneuve está ahora mismo enfocado en el rodaje de Dune: Parte tres y Knight comienza ahora a trabajar en el libreto.

Starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, Dune: Part Three is slated for a late 2026 release, but the news that is making rounds on X (formerly Twitter) is that director Denis Villeneuve will only be able to take up the next Bond movie when he wraps up the Dune film. Even the casting decision won’t come up until then. The public eye is in scrutiny for the search for the next James Bond, following the announcement made regarding the franchise’s revival.

A casting decision on James Bond won’t come until Denis Villeneuve wraps on ‘Dune: Part Three’ and Steven Knight finishes a draft of the script.
