Ana de Armas’s box office stumble with Ballerina could mean that the studio might not be ready to part ways with Keanu Reeves after John Wick 5. Ballerina‘s $132.4 million collection [Box Office Mojo] against a reported $90 million budget is hardly good enough to call the movie profitable, and it went on to cost the studio some serious grievance in terms of net quarterly earnings.

In the recently released revenue estimates, Lionsgate revealed a net quarterly loss of $94 million. Meanwhile, CEO Jon Feltheimer revealed in a statement that [via Variety]

“We are taking a number of important steps toward returning to solid growth in fiscal 2027.”

This could very well mean that the studio might call on the services of Wick in the future to make up for those losses.

The villainous role that iconic actor Peter Stormare couldn’t flesh out in John Wick 2 now has a shot at redemption as Keanu Reeves gears up for John Wick 5. As Abram Tarasov, Stormare’s Russian don lived on the sidelines of the story, coming out of the shadows only once in the initial scene to wax poetics about our titular assassin’s brutality with a pencil, and was never seen again.

However, this is not the only time the actor was underused in his potential as a villain. In Constantine, he had hardly 10 minutes of screentime playing Satan against Reeves’s titular exorcist/demon hunter. Although Stormare continues to be undermined, underused, and underrepresented in these films, it is finally time to pay up on that front by bringing Abram Tarasov back in John Wick 5.

Fortunately for Reeves, Stormare’s return can also smooth over the fandom’s open wound about the long-delayed sequel,...

A new challenger has entered the Top 10 on MGM+. Ben Affleck's 1998 sci-fi disaster film Armageddon has arrived on the streaming charts.

According to FlixPatrol, as of Aug. 7, Armageddon is ranked No. 10 on MGM+'s Top 10 Overall chart in the United States. Much like the asteroid in the movie, Armageddon has burst onto the streaming chart and will now try to climb up the ranks as a worthy group of hit shows and movies try to stop its climb. First in Armageddon's path is Jason Statham's 2024 sleeper hit The Beekeeper at No. 9, followed by the fan-favorite '80s buddy cop movie Lethal Weapon at No. 8 and Jack Quaid's action-comedy Novocaine at No. 7. Luckily for Armageddon, Lethal Weapon and Novocaine are down from where they were yesterday, which suggests that they may be on their way off the streaming chart.

Video game adaptations have recently surged in popularity. The trend started on television, with HBO's The Last of Us and Prime Video's Fallout captivating critics and audiences alike. On the big screen, video game adaptations have become big box office hits in recent years. The Super Mario Bros. Movie made over $1.3 billion, becoming the second highest-grossing movie of 2023.

Meanwhile, Five Nights at Freddy's made $297 million to become 2023's highest-grossing horror film. In 2025, A Minecraft Movie made $955 million, ranking as this year's second-highest-grossing Hollywood release. While these types of family-friendly tentpoles tend to dominate the box office, more adult-oriented video game movies often fly under the radar in theaters, but end up performing well on streaming platforms.

Until Dawn Is Now A Netflix Streaming Hit It Ranks 10th For The Week

Until Dawn is now a Netflix streaming hit. Based on the 2015 video game, the survival horror film follows a group...

Among Keanu Reeves’ most iconic characters is John Constantine. Constantine came out at a time when the superhero genre thrived in gritty and grounded storytelling, and John was the epitome of it, so now that the genre is at its peak, the announcement of Constantine II came as a delightful surprise for fans. Not only Reeves but also director Francis Lawrence and writer Akiva Goldsman are also attached to return. However, there is another writer who is aching to write a Constantine story—The Batman II scribe Mattson Tomlin.

While interacting with fans on X (formerly Twitter), a fan who said, “you writing for Constantine would be a dream come true for me.” To which Tomlin responded with “I’ve begged them all,” and a Gif featuring Reeves as Constantine. Tomlin just finished the script of The Batman II co-writing with Matt Reeves, and that world is as gritty and dark as it gets,...

Mattson Tomlin, popularly known for his work on The Batman Part II, and the Game of Thrones spinoff series Aegon’s Conquest, is currently eyeing the dark, moody character of John Constantine. Yep, with an unflinching love for comic book adaptations and bold storytelling, Tomlin is hoping to work on Constantine 2.

The DC character was previously played by Keanu Reeves in the 2005 action flick Constantine. Since then, the character has become a cult classic over the years. After all, who can get over Reeves’ chain-smoking, trenchcoat-wearing exorcist, who’s winning hearts for his cynical charm and apocalyptic adventures?

Therefore, after director Francis Lawrence blended biblical horror with noir vibes, and delivered a film that managed to earn a loyal fanbase—people have been begging for a sequel to this 2005 movie. So far, even Mattson Tomlin has expressed interest in the character. Now, let’s see if there’s any update waiting for us on this matter.

One of Heath Ledger and Matt Damon's most underrated action movies is heading to a new streaming home.

2005's The Brothers Grimmstarring Heath Ledger and Matt Damon is officially making its way to Paramount+ as its new streaming home. The fan-favorite fantasy action film will be available for streaming on Paramount+ beginning Aug. 1.

Directed by Terry Gilliam from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, The Brothers Grimm starred Damon and Ledger as fictionalized versions of Will and Jake Grimm. Rather than being the acclaimed authors that fans know and love, these Brothers Grimm are traveling con artists who prey upon unsuspecting villagers who are plagued by all manner of imagined monstrosities. After being forced to investigate the goings-on of a small German village, the Brothers Grimm find themselves staring down a very real ancient evil before taking it upon themselves to strike it down once and for all.

Video game adaptations continue to be released at a fairly regular cadence. Recently, they've been finding success in the form of TV shows. Titles like The Last of Us and Fallout have been major viewership hits as streaming TV shows adapting popular games.

In the world of movies, video game adaptations have a checkered past. Assassin's Creed (2016), for example, was a major disappointment, and it's one of a number of failed attempts to turn a video game into a massive blockbuster movie franchise. Over the last few years, however, there have been a number of success stories in this space.

The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is still going strong after the debut film in 2020, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a major hit in 2023, grossing $1.360 billion at the box office. This year, A Minecraft Movie became a viral sensation and was a big success in theaters.

Those titles are all family-friendly adventures,...

Bradley Cooper continues to be omnipresent on the big screen, but even for the A-lister, the road has been bumpy on occasion. Cooper didn't think he would land his game-changing "The Hangover" role in 2009, and he might have completely quit acting if it weren't for Paul Thomas Anderson's 2021 film "Licorice Pizza."

The actor/filmmaker's first screen role was a 1999 guest star turn on "Sex and the City," which was by no means a small accomplishment considering the show's popularity at the time. However, Cooper originally aimed for loftier things. In fact, had the multi-hyphenate had his way, he would have scored the role of A.J. Frost (ultimately played by Ben Affleck) in Michael Bay's 1998 sci-fi disaster film "Armageddon." In a 2013 interview with NPR's Terry Gross, Cooper described his early DIY audition processes:

"There would be calls for, I remember, 'The Patriot' for the Heath Ledger role,...

Based on the hit video game of the same name, the new horror film Until Dawn debuted in theaters back in April. This week, it will be made available to stream on the small screen for Netflix subscribers.

Per Netflix, Until Dawn will debut on the streaming platform on Thursday, July 24. Directed by David F. Sandberg, the horror film was written by Gary Dauberman and Blair Butler. It follows a group of friends caught in a time loop where they get murdered each night, and the only hope to escape is to find a way to survive until morning.

After hitting physical media earlier this month, Until Dawn will stream on Netflix this Thursday, July 24.

Based on Supermassive Games’ survival horror video game, David F. Sandberg directs from a script by Blair Butler and Gary Dauberman.

One year after her sister mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening.

Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the nightmare again and again — only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.

The story of the individual who births a world-altering technology only to be hunted by its corporate parent is a foundational myth of our digital age. It’s the modern Prometheus story, except Zeus is a CEO with a venture capital fund and the eagle is a team of heavily armed mercenaries. Off the Grid wades directly into this narrative stream with a kind of gritty, unvarnished sincerity.

Our reluctant titan is Guy (a suitably grizzled Josh Duhamel), an engineer of apparently transcendent genius who has created… something revolutionary. He now lives a life of enforced techno-primitivism in the Tennessee backwoods, a man who built the future and then promptly ran screaming from it.

His former employer, the ominously named Belcor Industries, wants its paradigm-shifting intellectual property back, and Guy along with it. The company dispatches its hounds, believing no one can truly unplug from a world they are so intent on wiring.

Until Dawn, based on the popular 2015 video game, is a movie that begins like a nightmare and keeps on rewinding. The story follows a group of friends in a remote setting, where they are hunted and killed in brutal ways repeatedly before realizing that they are trapped inside a time loop with only one way out: to survive until morning.

The film, directed by David F. Sandberg and written by Gary Dauberman and Blair Butler, stars Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Odessa A’zion, Ji-young Yoo, and Belmont Cameli. Peter Stormare returns from the game, adding a familiar face for fans.

Until Dawn Ott Release Update

According to Screenrant, the movie is heading to Netflix on July 24, 2025, after wrapping up its theatrical run with a solid $53 million on a $15 million budget (per Box Office Mojo). That kind of return matters more when the...

Video game adaptations have enjoyed more than their fair share of successful runs in recent times. However, the same time period has seen a declining interest in mainstream horror titles. It's a course of events that has affected Sony’s Until Dawn at the global box office. The horror movie has ended its run at the box office, earning a modest $50 million, which can be categorized as an achievement given the disappointing numbers the genre has endured over the last few years. Until Dawn arrived in theaters back on April 25, 2025, the film is set to try its luck on the small screen. The horror film is now scheduled to land on Netflix beginning July 24, 2025.

According to What's On Netflix, when Until Dawn arrives on the streaming giant this month, it'll only be available in the US with other regions being added later on. The United States will be receiving Until Dawn...

For decades, video game adaptations struggled to win over critics and audiences alike. Clunky storytelling, weak acting, and poor fidelity to source material left many adaptations feeling like cash grabs rather than faithful tributes. Flops like Super Mario Bros. (1993) and Street Fighter (1994) created a stigma that plagued the genre, leading to skepticism surrounding any new video game adaptation.

However, 2023 marked a turning point. The Super Mario Bros. Movie made over $1.3 billion at the box office to become the second highest-grossing movie of 2023. Meanwhile, Five Nights at Freddy's exceeded expectations, grossing $297 million to become the year's highest-grossing horror film. These successes signaled a new era, proving that video game adaptations can become massive commercial successes.

This winning streak has continued into 2025. A Minecraft Movie brought in $955 million, making it the year's second-highest-grossing Hollywood release. This success has also extended to television, with HBO's The Last of Us and Prime Video's Fallout captivating critics and audiences alike.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Worldwide Box Office: Beats Armageddon ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning keeps minting cash at the box office despite the competition. It has beaten Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis-led action-packed sci-fi flick Armageddon’s worldwide collection on its 6th three-day weekend. Although it has dropped out of the domestic top 5 of the box office chart, it is still going strong overseas. Keep scrolling for more.

The film has been outgrossed by How to Train Your Dragon at the box office in North America. It is the seventh highest-grossing film of the year at the domestic box office. Tom Cruise‘s movie has amassed more than $550 million worldwide; with that, it has become the third-highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2025. On the surface, it might appear as a blockbuster, but the film is losing by a vast margin compared to its mammoth budget.

One of Steven Spielberg's most underrated movies is Minority Report, the action thriller starring Tom Cruise. More than 20 years after its original release, the dystopian sci-fi film has found a new streaming home, and fans of the genre will be able to stream one of Cruise's best films without paying anything. Starting July 1, the film will be on Tubi, and to stream the movie, viewers will just have to stick around for the occasional ad breaks.

The futuristic sci-fi film is based on Philip K. Dick's story The Minority Report. It follows Cruise as the chief of a new police unit known as Precrime. Using advanced technology and the psychic ability of three "precogs," Chief John Anderton is able to foresee crimes. When he observes the crimes before they're committed, Anderton and his partners stop the perpetrators and serve justice. During an evaluation by the Department of Justice,...

There’s a certain texture to the action films I grew up with, a gritty, straight-to-video-store honesty that modern blockbusters often polish away. Stand Your Ground feels like a direct dispatch from that era. It’s a straight-faced revenge story that knows exactly what it wants to be: a bruising, unapologetic spectacle of violence.

The film introduces us to Jack Johnson, a former special forces operative who is less a character and a force of nature. He is a man seeking a peaceful life after a career of conflict, only to have that peace violently torn from him.

The film doesn’t waste a single frame on pretense; its language is gunpowder and its punctuation is the impact of a fist. It promises a raw, cathartic journey down a path paved with broken bodies and righteous fury.

The Law as a Loaded Weapon

The narrative follows a path well-trodden by vigilante cinema.

There is no excuse for “Off the Grid.” Director Johnny Martin’s hackneyed action-thriller is woefully short on action and thrills, and generic enough to suggest it was scripted by AI. Indeed, this half-baked potboiler leaves one with the nagging suspicion that it was produced simply to meet some sort of quota, and cast with actors who came on board only because they lost bets.

Josh Duhamel does his best to get his Rambo on as Guy, a research scientist who skedaddles from his lab at the San Francisco-based Belcor Enterprises after he discovers his corporate overlord intends to weaponize his current project, a palm-sized energy-producing reactor. He goes to ground and reinvents himself as a survivalist in a wilderness area of Tennessee, where he resides in a reconverted Quonset hut, maintains an elaborate array of boobytraps and warning signals to ward off unwelcome visitors, and generally stays (as the title says) off the grid.

David F. Sandberg returns to horror with Until Dawn, a digital-first psychological slasher that twists familiar genre mechanics into a looping nightmare. Releasing on digital platforms from 10 June via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, the film sees a group of teenagers trapped in a remote valley, forced to relive a night of escalating terror that mutates with every iteration.

Ella Rubin leads the cast as Clover, a determined young woman on a mission to uncover the truth behind her sister’s disappearance a year prior. Alongside her friends, she ventures into Glore Valley, where they encounter an abandoned visitor centre and a lurking threat that begins picking them off one by one. But death is not the end. Instead, the group reawakens to the same evening, and the cycle begins again. Each loop brings a new incarnation of the killer and a fresh set of horrors, pushing the characters toward their psychological limits.

Francis Lawrence's 2005 demonic thriller "Constantine" wasn't terribly well-reviewed when it first came out. Some critics liked the film's visuals, and many praised Peter Stormare's performance as Satan, but just as many critics (including Jack Matthews in the New York Daily News) lambasted the film for being a painfully traditional action/murder fantasy hooey. "Constantine" was also unremarkable at the box office, netting $200 million worldwide on a $100 million budget. 

The film was based on the "Hellblazer" comics, published by DC's adult-oriented imprint Vertigo, and the comics' many fans eventually came to admire Lawrence's film adaptation. A cult grew. Back in 2022, Warner Bros. found that the original film's clout had grown to the point where a sequel could be officially announced. 

"Constantine 2" has now been in pre-production for three years. /Film offered an update in September of 2023, and the film had been put on hold because of the writers' strike.

Keanu Reeves’ Constantine in 2005 received mixed to negative reviews at the time of release, but gained a significant cult following over the years. Director Francis Lawrence and Reeves announced plans for a sequel in 2011, with the official confirmation coming only in September 2022. One of the stars of the film has come out with a revelation that Reeves is not happy with the film.

It appears that DC Studios wants to make the film into a spectacle, but Reeves wants to keep it spiritual and grounded like in his previous film. Reeves already has a major franchise film to his name, John Wick, where he does all the big stunts. Earlier, Lawrence had revealed that it was challenging to gain control over the character owned by DC.

Francis Lawrence...

Keanu Reeves is "not happy with the scripts" for ‘Constantine 2’, Peter Stormare has said.The 60-year-old actor’s titular demonologist is set to return in a follow-up to the 2005 horror flick, and Stormare - who played Lucifer in the movie - has revealed Reeves has been disappointed with Warner Bros.’ ideas for a more action-packed ‘Constantine 2’.Speaking with The Direct, Stormare, 71, said: "It's a lot of back and forth, because ... I think Keanu, which I know pretty good, is not so happy with the scripts and usually what comes out of the studios."Because the first one wasn't that successful in the beginning, it became a sleeper and became a cult movie, and now it is one of the biggest cult movies ever. But to do a sequel, the studios want to have, you know, cars flying in the air. They want to have people doing flip-flops and fighting action scenes.

Constantine 2 seems no closer to shooting, and that might be due to Keanu Reeves being unhappy with the script.

Constantine 2 is a project that has been talked about for years and years, with occasional updates from director Francis Lawrence or the project’s star Keanu Reeves suggesting that the project is always just around the corner.

However, despite the script reportedly being completed last September, not to mention Lawrence adding earlier this year that “I will say we are closer than ever to being able to do a sequel,” it seems like a green light for the project is still some way away.

The latest update comes courtesy of Peter Stormare, who plays Satan in the 2005 film. While speaking to The Direct, Stormare revealed that backing for the latest iteration of the script isn’t universal, and that Reeves especially doesn’t seem to be fully happy with it.

Twenty years after the release of the DC Comics adaptation Constantine (watch it Here), a sequel is finally moving ahead with director Francis Lawrence back at the helm and star Keanu Reeves reprising the role of occult expert John Constantine… but it’s moving ahead slowly, because it has already been a few years since this project was first announced. We heard that a script for Constantine 2 had been delivered to executive producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura around eight months ago, but now Constantine co-star Peter Stormare (who played Lucifer in the first film) has revealed that Reeves isn’t happy with the script.

Written by Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello, the first Constantine had the following synopsis: As a suicide survivor, demon hunter John Constantine has literally been to hell and back — and he knows that when he dies, he’s got a one-way ticket to Satan’s realm...

Even in spite of a fan-favorite TV show, John Constantine is a character synonymous with Keanu Reeves. Ever since he portrayed the character as a grounded man of few words who hunts mighty demons and has a direct connection to both God and the Devil in Constantine, his portrayal continued to influence the other live-action versions. So, when Constantine 2 was announced, fans were ecstatic, but the updates on the movie that is currently in development have been far and few. In a new interview, Peter Stormare, who portrayed a white-suit-clad devil in the original film, disclosed that Reeves isn’t happy with the sequel’s scripts.

"It's a lot of back and forth, because... I think Keanu [Reeves], which I know pretty good, is not so happy with the scripts and usually what comes out of the studios...” Stormare revealed. Given that the original movie was a sleeper hit and,...

It’s been over two years since the official announcement of Constantine 2, with Keanu Reeves coming back to play DC’s John Constantine. Constantine co-star Peter Stormare recently gave a new update on the script’s status.

Speaking with The Direct, Stormare, who played Lucifer in the original film, surprised with the reveal that Reeves is currently unhappy with the current draft of the sequel.

“It’s a lot of back and forth, because… I think Keanu [Reeves], which I know pretty good, is not so happy with the scripts and usually what comes out of the studios… Because the first one wasn’t that successful in the beginning, it became a sleeper and became a cult movie, and now it is one of the biggest cult movies ever. But to do a sequel, the studios want to have, you know, cars flying in the air. They want to have...

Constantine 2 may be facing some creative troubles, as one of the stars from the original DC film has stated that Keanu Reeves is "not so happy" with the script. DC Studios remains committed to telling Elseworlds stories at the same time as James Gunn's DC Universe, and Reeves' Constantine movie from 2005 is one of the standalone franchises that is potentially making a comeback. While Constantine 2 has been in development since September 2022, the DC sequel is seemingly dealing with some complications.

In a new interview with The Direct, Peter Stormare, who played Lucifer in the original Constantine movie, shared some new details about the upcoming Constantine 2 sequel regarding Reeves' feelings on the script development. According to the Swedish star, Reeves is not entirely happy with the screenplay, as Stormare shared the following:

It's a lot of back and forth, because... I think Keanu [Reeves], which I know pretty good,...

It's been 20 years since Constantine was released, and fans have since been itching for sequel updates. Now, one of the film's stars, Peter Stormare, revealed what he's been hearing about the project behind the scenes.

Speaking to The Direct, Stormare said Keanu Reeves and the studio have very different ideas about the script. While the studio is insisting on an action-packed sequel, Reeves wants it to be faithful to the original. "It's a lot of back and forth, because... I think Keanu, which I know pretty good, is not so happy with the scripts and usually what comes out of the studios," the actor said.

In February, Reeves confirmed that DC Studios approved their story pitch and that they're currently deadlocked over the treatment. "The first one wasn't that successful in the beginning, it became a sleeper and cult movie, and now it is one of the biggest cult movies ever,...

Despite seeming to have a definite vision and a cohesive driving force for the first time in its long history, the future of DC movies is still in a bit of a mess. While James Gunn is almost ready to deliver his first live-action Dcu movie with Superman, many previously announced movies are not as certain as they once were, and the franchise’s “Elseworlds” side-projects are in a state of flux. Among those projects is the long-delayed sequel to Keanu Reeves’ 2005 movie, Constantine – and a new update from the original movie’s Peter Stormare has suggested there is still a hellish journey ahead of it.

It is now 20 years since Reeves first played the troubled demonologist, and while there have been several attempts to kick-start a sequel, those potential projects have all been dragged into development hell never to be seen again. The character of John Constantine, however, has appeared in several other ways,...

Constantine's Lucifer actor Peter Stormare disclosed some new information about why Constantine 2 is taking so long, positing that it is because franchise lead Keanu Reeves is unhappy with the script. A sequel to the 2005 DC Comics movie has been stuck in development hell for years. The last fans heard about the project, Reeves and director Francis Lawrence had pitched a story to DC Studios and were given the green light to pursue writing a script, but no further details have been made public.

In an exclusive interview with The Direct conducted while promoting his 2025 film Stand Your Ground (now available on PVOD), Constantine star Peter Stormare addressed what he has heard about the Keanu Reeves-led DC Comics sequel. 

Stormare revealed that it has been "a lot of back and forth" so far and that Reeves "is not so happy with the scripts:"

One month after the film arrived in theaters, David F. Sandberg’s big screen adaptation of the video game Until Dawn is now available on Digital outlets at home from Sony.

You can rent Until Dawn on Digital for $19.99 or purchase the film for $24.99.

To whet your appetite, Sony has provided Bloody Disgusting with an alternate opening scene from the Until Dawn movie, which provides an extended version of the demise of Melanie (Maia Mitchell). It’s Melanie’s disappearance in the recent past that kickstarts the present day events of the film, and this extended cut makes it clear that she’s met a grisly end.

From director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle Creation, Shazam) and writer Gary Dauberman (It, The Nun), Until Dawn made just under $50 million at the box office.

“One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote...

Peter Stormare is one of those Hollywood actors you instantly associate with villains. He's delivered several standout performances as antagonists in films like Constantine and Minority Report. And while some actors have major issues with being typecast, Storemare certainly isn't one of them. The Swedish-born actor with the warm smile—often cast as villains with thick accents—has embraced this direction his career has taken, and he's not shy about saying so.

Stormare spoke to The Direct about his latest movie, the action thrillerStand Your Ground. In the film, Stormare plays Bastion, a crime lord who stands against Jack, a former soldier who swears revenge on those who killed his wife. Once again, Stormare steps into the villain's shoes, and he used the interview to reflect on the stereotype and where it might come from:

"I came to this country, in Hollywood, like in the end of the '80s.

Until Dawn, the 2025 survival horror film directed by David F. Sandberg, spins a chilling standalone tale inspired by the 2015 PlayStation video game of the same name. With a group of friends trapped in a remote location haunted by a sinister time loop, the movie takes its audience through a terrifying cycle of death, dread, and desperate survival. Built on a foundation of clever ideas and a unique take on the slasher genre, the slasher movie boldly attempts to deliver multiple horror experiences within one storyline. While it stumbles at times under the weight of its ambitious concept, the movie barely manages to create any intrigue with its narrative, eerie atmosphere, and meta-horror nods.

In this article I take a deeper dive into the ending of the movie Until Dawn. Please be aware, the article contain spoilers.

Until Dawn (2025) Plot Summary & Movie Synopsis: What happens at the visiting centre in Galore Valley?...

In Fansu Njie’s Stand Your Ground, Daniel Stisen stars as Jack Johnson, a former Special Forces operative who returns home with his pregnant wife (Roxi Kravitz), only to face a tragic attack, spearheaded by local crime lord Bastion (Peter Stormare), leads to her murder. When Jack kills one of the assailants in rage, just outside their home, he is imprisoned for six years. Upon release, he discovers the culprits were sons of Bastion. Seeking vengeance, Jack targets Bastion’s eldest son, Leon (Michael Billington), who masterminded the attack.

Using the Stand Your Ground law, Jack lures Leon into a trap, leaving him comatose. Bastion retaliates, sending assassins, but Jack, fortified in his home, fights them off. Molly (Isobel Laidler), Bastion’s conflicted daughter, and town Sheriff, Dwayne (Patrick Regis), confront her father, who refuses to stop, leading to an explosive final showdown in which Jack confronts both his enemies and his own humanity.

As The Hollywood Reporter previously noted, first released in 2015, Until Dawn is an interactive horror video game that follows eight friends and frenemies who are brought together a remote mountain retreat. With live or die scenarios featuring a mysterious killer, cannibalistic wendigos, a cable car, and a long-ago mining cave-in that reverberates into the present day, the members of the group must fight through their fear if...

Crossover from video game to feature-length film with Peter Stormare in an exclusive Until Dawn featurette. Celebrating the movie’s digital arrival today, May 23, and its physical 4K Uhd, Blu-ray, and DVD drop on July 8, Collider is thrilled to share the perfect way to fully immerse yourself in the horror alongside those closest to the production. Along with Stormare, viewers will hear from the project’s director, David S. Sandberg, as well as its stars, Ella Rubin (The Girl from Plainville) and Michael Cimino (Never Have I Ever), each of whom shares a different perspective about the terror that audiences can now welcome into their homes.

Blood is everywhere in the Until Dawn featurette — but we’d expect nothing less. Bringing the recognizable characters to life is what it’s all about, with Sandberg breaking down the lengthy casting process that went underway until everything was just right. If you...

One month after the film arrived in theaters, David F. Sandberg’s big screen adaptation of the video game Until Dawn has been released on Digital at home by Sony this morning.

You can rent Until Dawn on Digital now for $19.99 or purchase the film for $24.99.

From director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle Creation, Shazam) and writer Gary Dauberman (It, The Nun), Until Dawn made just under $50 million at the box office.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bd, “This adaptation captures none of the intensity or scares [of the game]. It winds up the equivalent of touring a loud, busy haunted house attraction. It’s packed to the brim with kills and monsters, very loosely connected by its source material, yet with none of the characters or lore as connective tissue. It’s an adaptation that fails its source material in nearly every way, but it also fails as a straightforward horror film.

Transformers star Josh Duhamel returns to the action as one part Rambo and two parts MacGyver in the new trailer for next month’s action flick, Off the Grid. Coming courtesy of Lionsgate, Off the Grid gives Duhamel the chance to deliver both brain and brawn as a scientist who finds himself the target of a shady organization.

Directed by Johnny Martin (Alone), Off the Grid stars Josh Duhamel alongside Greg Kinnear (As Good as It Gets), María Elisa Camargom (Warrior), Michael Zapesotsky (Dismissed), Ana Golja (Kill Em All 2), Michael Papajohn (Jurassic World), and Peter Stormare (John Wick: Chapter 2). The action outing is all set to land in theaters, On Demand, and On Digital on June 27, 2025. Alongside the newly released trailer, you can check out the official synopsis for Off the Grid below.

“After a morally-bankrupt company tries to weaponize a brilliant scientist’s revolutionary technology, he goes...

"I just want you to come home and finish what you started!" Lionsgate has revealed an official trailer for Off the Grid, an action thriller made by stuntman filmmaker Johnny Martin. Yet another of these dime-a-dozen junk action films being dumped out this summer. Way too many of these recently. After a morally-bankrupt company tries to weaponize a brilliant scientist’s revolutionary technology, he goes off the grid to safeguard humanity. When the company sends a strike force to find him, they make their biggest mistake of all – they weaponize the man they are trying to catch. Huh? What the hell is this even about - does this give him special powers? Off the Grid stars Josh Duhamel, Greg Kinnear, Peter Stormare, and María Elisa Camargo. No idea how the hell they got these actors for this, because this looks absolutely terrible. But that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Josh Duhamel is a man on a mission of mayhem in the thriller Off the Grid. Collider has an exclusive look at the first trailer for the film, which also stars Greg Kinnear and Peter Stormare. It will be released in select theaters, on demand, and digital on June 27.

In the trailer, Duhamel is Guy, a brilliant scientist working on a generator small enough to fit in the palm of his hand; an invention that could revolutionize life on Earth. His employers agreed, but in a different way; they wanted to make it into a weapon. Thus, Guy dropped off the face of the Earth and took his research with him. Now, after years of living off the grid in Europe, he's been discovered. His sinister ex-employers (Stormare and Kinnear) send hired killers to his new home to destroy everything he's built, but they don't realize Guy has both brains and brawn on his side.
