Justin Linwill always be known for his work directing several Fast & Furious movies, but now the director has set his sights on another project that just got an exciting new look. As part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event, we are thrilled to partner with Vertical to exclusively preview a new image of Sky Yang inLast Days, the upcoming adventure drama that will be released in theaters nationwide later this year on October 24. In addition to Yang, who is best known for their role as Aris in Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire, Last Days also stars Radhika Apte (Sister Midnight), Naveen Andrews (Lost), Ken Leung (The Sopranos), Toby Wallace (The Bikeriders), and Ciara Bravo (Cherry). Last Days premiered earlier this year at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

Last Days is based on a true story, and it follows John Allen Chau’s (Sky Yang) journey to fulfill his life’s mission.

There's some great potential for Star Trek characters to get their due in audio dramas, and the franchise should explore that!

A big project coming for Star Trek fans is the upcoming Khan audio dramatization. Naveen Andrews steps into the role Ricardo Montalban made iconic as Khan Noonien Singh, the genetically engineered tyrant who clashed with Kirk in "Space Seed" and The Wrath of Khan film.

The audio drama will focus on Khan in his exile on Ceti Alpha V, explaining how he survived and what turned him into the madman of the second film. It will use some books and comics for the tale, but the push is an audio drama of a story that was ignored on film. 

It makes fans wonder what other Trek characters could benefit from an audio series. Sure, there are the big ones of the main crews, but also a lot of recurring...

After entertaining audiences in Season 3 of Reacher as Susan Duffy, Sonya Cassidy is taking on another widely appreciated property. During the flurry of news revealed at the 2025 San Diego Comic Con, Men’s Journal reported that the actor was added to the cast of a new Star Trek venture. Cassidy will join the audio drama series, simply titled Star Trek: Khan. She was cast as Dr. Rosalind Lear, who investigates logs about the titular villain who has plagued the world of Star Trek since its inception.

The Khan in the audio drama is, of course, none other than Khan Noonien Singh, who has appeared in Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, and even had the J.J. Abrams treatment in Into Darkness. In this version, Khan will be portrayed by Lost’s own Naveen Andrews, who gained fan devotion while playing Oceanic survivor Sayid Jarrah.

The introductory...

In 1982, Captain Kirk uttered one word that would forever change the landscape of Star Trek.That word: Khan. Memorably screamed by William Shatner in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the villainous Khan Noonien Singh is the subject of a new scripted audio drama.

Star Trek: Khan was announced last year and officially wrapped production in February 2025. Details on the audio drama have remained scarce until now. During a Star Trek panel at San Diego Comic-Con on July 26, the official trailer and entire voice cast of Khan were revealed. Trek fans can anticipate the return of two fan-favorite characters in Star Trek: Khan when it premieres on Sept. 8.

A brand new official trailer dropped via Star Trek’s YouTube channel. The clip starts with a group chanting “Khan, Khan, Khan,” and a voiceover is heard saying, “This is Star Trek: Khan. The untold story of Star Trek’s most legendary villain.

Star Trek‘s most iconic villain, Khan, is back! The scripted podcast series, Star Trek: Khan, is set to release its first episode on September 8, 2025, in celebration of Star Trek Day.

The premiere date, key art, trailer reveal, and additional voice cast announcements were made during today’s Star Trek universe presentation in Hall H at Comic-Con International in San Diego, CA.

Star Trek: Khan explores the untold events on Ceti Alpha V, chronicling Khan’s descent from a superhuman visionary into the vengeful villain seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. New episodes will be available weekly on Mondays through November 3, wherever you get your podcasts.

Naveen Andrews (Lost) voices the iconic role of Khan Noonien Singh, and is joined by a stellar cast, including Wrenn Schmidt (For All Mankind) as Lieutenant Marla McGivers, and Sonya Cassidy (Reacher) as Dr. Rosalind Lear, with Star Trek veteran Tim Russ...

The future of “Star Trek” is here and it truly is boldly going to some new and undiscovered places. (Check out our ranking of every “Star Trek” live-action show). The message from Paramount+’s presentation for the franchise July 26 at San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H isn’t boundary- and format-pushing alone: It’s clear that they want to package new things with some heavy doses of the familiar — major stars, beloved returning franchise vets, and some cutesy gimmicks.

Take a look at the teaser for “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.”

There are a ton of new faces there for the 32nd Century-set show, as much of the cast is teenage and 20-something newcomers. And it’s set in a time period, post-“Star Trek: Discovery” that allows for all-new storytelling completely unrestrained by preexisting canon. But that’s also a lot of unfamiliar stuff, and audiences can need a little...

Earlier this year, we learned that one of Star Trek's greatest villains would be returning in a new scripted podcast series. Now we know that two classic Trek actors will be joining the cast of the series, revisiting their original characters. George Takei and Tim Russ, who starred as Hikaru Sulu and Tuvok on Star Trek: The Original Series and Voyager, respectively, will star on Star Trek: Khan alongside Naveen Andrews and Wrenn Schmidt. The first episode of Khan will premiere on Star Trek Day: stardate September 8, 2025.

The podcast series will take place in the decades between the Original Series episode "Space Seed," in which the crew of the USS Enterprise inadvertently revives Khan (then played by the great Ricardo Montalban) and subsequently exiles him to the remote planet Ceti Alpha V, and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, when Khan is inadvertently rediscovered and escapes his prison...

August will be a pretty distressing month for fans of Lost, but those in the U.S. have nothing to worry about — yet. The award-winning series remains one of the greatest of all time, having impacted numerous subsequent TV projects and popular culture at large. Comprising six seasons and 121 episodes, Lost ran from September 22, 2004, to May 23, 2010, and was eventually released on a few streaming platforms, including Netflix. Sadly, the sci-fi drama’s time on the streamer is about to come to an end globally, with only a few months left for subscribers in the U.S. as well.

Netflix acquired the rights to Lost in July 2024, as part of a deal with Disney, covering both the U.S. and worldwide markets. What’s on Netflix has now announced that all six seasons of the series will be removed from the streamer in international regions on August 15, as the last day...

Netflix fans should be used to the churn of hit TV shows hitting Netflix and getting removed within a few years. Well, if the reports are to be believed, it's about to happen again with one of the best TV shows of all time.

According to a report from What's on Netflix, Lost, the hit ABC series that premiered in 2004 and ran for six seasons on the network through 2010, is about to leave Netflix starting in August 2025. Unfortunately, it looks like Lost will be leaving Netflix in almost every country and region it's available to stream, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Brazil.

At the time of publishing, Netflix has not revealed the exact date that Lost will be leaving Netflix, but the report shared a screenshot revealing Aug. 14 will be the last day to watch Lost in the UK. Fortunately for Netflix US subscribers, the series will be...

Fast & Furious and Star Trek Beyond director Justin Lin will offer audiences something different after his upcoming docudrama, Last Days, comes to theaters on October 24, courtesy of Vertical.

Last Days, based on the Outside magazine article “The Last Days of John Allen Chau” by Alex Perry, focuses on the 26-year-old missionary John Allen Chau (Sky Yang), who journeys to the remote North Sentinel Island, determined to convert an isolated tribe. At the same time, authorities attempt to intervene before potential harm occurs. Sister Midnight’s Radhika Apte leads the chase, playing a detective from the Andaman Islands, determined to halt John’s mission before he can upset a natural balance.

Justin Lin directs Last Days from a script by Ben Ripley (Flatliners). The film also stars Naveen Andrews, Ken Leung, Toby Wallace, Marny Kennedy, and Ciara Bravo.

Exclusive: Vertical has acquired North American rights to Last Days, the adventure drama from the Fast & Furious franchise’s Justin Lin, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, in a return to his indie roots.

The film, based on the Outside magazine article “The Last Days of John Allen Chau” by Alex Perry, will be released exclusively in theaters on October 24.

Based on a true story, Last Days centers on John Allen Chau (Touchdown‘s Sky Yang), a 26-year-old determined to fulfill his life’s mission, who embarks on a dangerous adventure across the globe to share his faith with the uncontacted tribe of North Sentinel Island, while a detective (Sister Midnight‘s Radhika Apte) from the Andaman Islands races to stop him before he does harm to himself or the tribe.

One of J. J. Abrams' most acclaimed (and divisive) series is dominating the VOD charts. A new report indicates that Lostis still quiet popular.

Per FlixPatrol, Lost has quietly found a foothold on the video-on-demand charts via iTunes. Lost continues to gain traction, rising two spots in recent days to reach the number ten spot on the list. Currently, the number one spot is held by Superman & Lois, with Rick and Morty and Arrested Development following behind in second and third place, respectively.

Lost premiered in 2004, and quickly it cemented its place as the then-latest television sensation. Created by J. J. Abrams, Jeffrey Lieber, and Damon Lindelof, the latter of whom served as showrunner alongside Carlton Cuse, Lost featured a star-studded ensemble cast who, for various reasons, found themselves stranded on a strange, secluded island filled with all manner of monsters and mysteries. The series' first season kicked off with...

Fox has just decided to not go ahead with its police procedural series Alert: Missing Persons Unit and crime drama series The Cleaning Lady. The network announced this Friday that The Cleaning Lady’s recent Season 4 finale will be its last episode and it’s a similar case for Alert: Missing Persons Unit.

Based on the Argentine TV series titled La Chica que Limpia, the crime drama series was adapted for Fox by Miranda Kwok. It follows Thony De La Rosa, a brilliant Cambodian doctor who has to come to the United States to get her sick son treated but things don’t go to plan forcing her to go into hiding and start working as a cleaning lady for an organized criminal gang.

The Cleaning Lady Season 4 aired its finale episode on June 3, which has sadly now become its final episode.

It’s been almost 15 years since Lost’s series finale aired on ABC, but we’re still in awe of so many things the drama did — especially its focus on its characters and the unexpected and memorable ways in which they interacted and impacted each other’s lives. With such a massive ensemble cast, everyone had (and still has) their favorite island inhabitant; some might choose the good doctor and reluctant survivor leader Jack (Matthew Fox), while others might pick the brave and adventurous Kate (Evangeline Lilly), the resourceful and fiercely loyal Sayid (Naveen Andrews), or even the ultimate romantic Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick). They’re all solid choices, of course, but we’re big fans of Sawyer (Josh Holloway) a.k.a. James Ford. Before Josh Holloway’s Duster brings the actor back for a new swaggery and shaggy beau named Jim in a new J.J. Abrams show, we...

The groundbreaking sci-fi show Lost aired its last episode fifteen years ago, but its impact on television is lasting, even after all these years. It entertained viewers for six good seasons before bowing out in 2010.

The show, created by Jeffrey Lieber, J. J. Abrams, and Damon Lindelof for ABC, introduced the audience to the journey survivors of the Oceanic Flight 815 plane crash take through an unknown island to survive. The show was helmed by a diverse cast whose acting prowess and chemistry enhanced the show’s dynamic plot.

An ensemble of actors of various ethnicities and backgrounds, the show was a vibrant delight. Almost three decades later, fans still think fondly of Lost and its principal cast, who have since had elaborate careers in the entertainment industry. Here is a look at what your favorite Lost actors are up to in 2025.

When news broke on Friday afternoon that Amazon wouldn’t be making a second season of the comedy Clean Slate, media reaction hovered between two viable extremes: “Amazon Cancels Show We Never Knew Existed” and “Amazon Canceled Norman Lear’s Kinda-Final Show.”

I can understand both approaches. Despite the presence of stars Laverne Cox and George Wallace, Lear’s posthumous credit was the highest-profile thing Clean Slate had going for it, and despite all of those elements, I never heard anybody mention Clean Slate out in the wild. It was an invisible show in a landscape that too frequently renders all but the biggest titles invisible.

For me, though, the abrupt end of Clean Slate represented the end of a different, less-heralded era: that of Freevee’s half-hour development, one of the most creatively interesting and commercially botched pieces of brand-building in recent memory.

Freevee, the ad-supported branch of Amazon...

Actor and writer Simon Pegg still has hope for Star Trek 4. Speaking at Awesome Con, Pegg talked about how much he would love to return to the world of Star Trek. The popular sci-fi reboot began in 2009 with J.J. Abrams as the director and showed a new version of the classic crew by using an alternate universe.

Two more films followed, but fans have been waiting for a fourth movie ever since.

At the event, Pegg said, “I’d like us to do another movie. I would be happy to get back with those guys and do another movie, whatever the story is. I love my Enterprise crewmates; they’re the sweetest people. I was so proud of Zoe winning an Oscar this year.”

Pegg isn’t the only one ready to return. Chris Pine, who played Captain Kirk, also wants to come back. But everyone knows there’s a big challenge ahead.

Subhash K Jha refocuses the lens on the Aishwarya Rai drama, The Woman Who Walked Into Doors, the battered wife Paula keeps justifying her bruises by saying she, as a habit, walks into closed doors and hurts herself.

The battered wife Kiranjit in Jagmohan Mundhra’s Exposed jolting expose on domestic values never gets a chance to walk in or out of that closed London door where she lives with her brutal husband. She chooses her husband’s death over her own exit.

It’s amazing how the true-life Kiranjit Ahluwalia found freedom by setting her brutal husband on fire. In one of the film’s most sensitively delineated dialogues, Kiranjit says to her rather overly benign prison mates, “I’ve never felt freer in my life.”

What sort of trauma would it take for a woman to feel free in prison? Provoked answers the complicated question of domestic disharmony...

It's hard to imagine that over 20 years have passed since audiences all around the world were first introduced to the diverse group of passengers of the ill-fated Flight 815 in the 2004 cultural phenomenon Lost, a mind-bending sci-fi supernatural series that focuses on the traumatized survivors as they find themselves stranded on a mysterious tropical island in the South Pacific. Touting a stacked ensemble cast led by Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Josh Holloway, and Naveen Andrews, the smash hit original has widely been regarded as one of the greatest television shows of all time, running for six spellbinding seasons.

Party of Five alum Matthew Fox famously headlined the sci-fi staple, portraying the brilliant-yet-haunted surgeon Jack Shephard, who swiftly emerges as the de facto leader of his fellow survivors and experiences an epic spiritual transformation throughout the course of the acclaimed series. However, it's hard to imagine anyone other than Fox as the capable Jack.

Following the tragic accident on the set of the film “Rust” that led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, the documentary “Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna” aims to tell the true story of what transpired.

The Hulu documentary takes viewers inside the fateful day of Oct. 21, 2021 and the spectacle that followed Alec Baldwin, who fired the prop gun, and the case. In the documentary, Hutchins’ friend, director Rachel Mason, goes on the record to talk about the tragedy and the experience of losing a beloved friend and colleague.

Star Trek was revolutionary for television when it first aired in 1966. It brought serious science fiction into the homes of millions with effects that—at the time—were remarkable for television. Of course, the budget and the available technology still presented limitations for what could be shown. Even today, there are limits to what Star Trek can show on screen.

Audio is a medium where these limits are simply not an issue. Over the past several years, we have seen a growing resurgence of audio dramas, after the radio drama format had all but died out in the mid-20th Century, after the advent of television. Although fans have made amateur Star Trek audio dramas earlier, the upcoming Star Trek: Khan is the first official audio addition to the series.

Unlike an audiobook, where the story is basically just told through words that are spoken, rather than written, an audio...

CBS Studios has announced that production has wrapped on recording for Star Trek: Khan, an all-new scripted audio series expanding the Star Trek universe. The Star Trek: Khan lead voice cast includes Naveen Andrews (Lost) as the iconic Khan and Wrenn Schmidt (For All Mankind) as Marla McGivers.

The expansion of the universe will explore the dramatic untold events that unfolded in the desolate world of Ceti Alpha V after Captain Kirk left Khan and his followers stranded there, paving the way for the iconic clash in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The new audio series will be available for streaming on all major podcast platforms later this year.

History remembers Khan Noonien Singh as a villain, the product of a failed attempt to perfect humanity through genetic engineering whose quest to avenge himself on Admiral James T. Kirk led to unimaginable tragedy and loss. But the truth...

Now that it’s been announced that Naveen Andrews will voice Khan Noonien Singh in the long-gestating Star Trek: Khan audio series, it’s time to delve a bit deeper into the news and the press release distributed to the media. There are numerous bits to explore.

First, we like the casting of Andrews. He’s a solid, experienced, and Emmy-nominated actor, best known for Lost, and has a distinctive voice. Though he was born in London, England, his parents are from India. Khan is Indian.

CBS Studios also revealed that Wrenn Schmidt will voice Marla McGivers, another character very familiar to fans of “Space Seed,” the episode upon which Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was built. Schmidt recently played Margo Madison on For All Mankind and co-starred on the series Person of Interest, which Kelvin Timeline filmmaker J.J. Abrams-produced. She also co-starred with Brent Spiner, Star...

Naveen Andrews and Wrenn Schmidt join ‘Star Trek: Khan’

The Star Trek franchise continues to expand with Star Trek: Khan, the latest addition to the popular sci-fi world. The audio series features the voices of Naveen Andrews (The Dropout) as Khan and Wrenn Schmidt (For All Mankind) as Lt. Marla McGivers, a former Starfleet historian who followed Khan into exile on Ceti Alpha V.

The audio series is expected to be released on podcast platforms later this year. Kirsten Beyer and David Mack wrote the series, based on a story by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan‘s writer and director Nicholas Meyer. Fred Greenhalgh directed, and Rod Roddenberry, Alex Kurtzman, Aaron Baiers, Kirsten Beyer, Molly Barton, Fred Greenhalgh, and Trevor Roth served as executive producers.

CBS Studios offered this description of the audio series:

The voice cast includes Naveen Andrews (Lost) as the iconic villain Khan. The story explores his complex psyche and the depths of his anger, ambition, and pain.

An all-new Star Trekscripted audio series is on the horizon in 2025. Recording for Star Trek: Khan, which was announced last year, has officially wrapped, per a release via CBS. But, the cast remained a mystery until now.

A former Lostcast member and a star of the Apple TV+ series For All Mankindwill lead the voice cast for Star Trek: Khan. CBS announced on Feb. 27 that Naveen Andrews, who played Sayid Jarrah on Lost, will voice Kahn Noonien Singh. Wrenn Schmidt, known as Margo Madison on For All Mankind, will play Marla McGivers, a former Starfleet lieutenant who followed Khan into exile and became his wife.

From the moment CBS Studios first announced its Star Trek: Khan series, anticipation has been building around who exactly might be tapped to bring one of the greatest Star Trek villains to life next within the franchise. There has been a lot of anticipation and speculation about who might take on the role first originated by Ricardo Montalbán.

Many fans wondered if CBS Studios might perhaps bring back Benedict Cumberbatch to voice the character following his portrayal of Khan in Star Trek: Into Darkness. Cumberbatch delivered a chilling and brilliant performance in the role of the film’s key foil so it would have seemed natural for CBS Studios might look to bring him back into the fold via Star Trek: Khan. Many would have loved to see Cumberbatch return to the franchise, but doing so ultimately wasn’t in the cards, and understandably so as the goal is to...

‘Star Trek: Khan’ has officially announced its lead voice cast. The new scripted audio series will be available on all major podcast platforms in late 2025.

Naveen Andrews (Lost) will voice the legendary Khan Noonien Singh, while Wrenn Schmidt (For All Mankind) will play his wife, Marla McGivers. Recording for the series has now been completed, and more cast members will be revealed later.

The story is based on an idea by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan writer and director Nicholas Meyer. Writers Kirsten Beyer and David Mack will bring the script to life.

The series will explore what happened on the harsh planet of Ceti Alpha V after Captain Kirk left Khan and his followers stranded there. It will show how Khan changed from a powerful leader with great ambitions to the vengeful villain seen in The Wrath of Khan.

Almost 15 years since it ended, debates still rage about Lost’s final season, and in particular, its finale. For a sizable portion of the fanbase, “The End” felt nothing less than a waste of time that refused to answer the mysteries they’d spent six years investing in, and seemingly proved the writers made up as they went along. Others felt “The End” was a beautiful cap on an all-time great series, prioritizing the character arcs over the mysteries and bringing things to an emotionally satisfying close. Wherever you land, there’s one thing seemingly everyone can agree upon: it’s not Lost’s worst overall episode.

That dishonor goes to “Stranger in a Strange Land,” the ninth episode of Lost’s third season. Even by the standards of a season that saw dwindling ratings and slow plot progression (at least up until the incredible finale), this installment only incrementally...

After an incredible third installment, the hit sci-fi horror series From was renewed for a 10-episode fourth season in November 2024, and fans have been buzzing with excitement ever since. Everyone wants to know what new horrors await the residents of the nightmarish town, but unfortunately, we won't be seeing this beloved show return to our screens until sometime next year.

From season 4 was confirmed for a 2026 release when the renewal was announced. Production on the fourth season is slated to begin this year in Nova Scotia, where the previous three seasons were shot, but a filming start date has not been revealed. Also, given that this show heavily utilizes special effects, we can likely expect a longer post-production period. This is likely the reason why we won't be seeing From season 4 until next year. It's the lengthy filmmaking process. While this is extremely disappointing for fans, we're expecting the wait...

Despite its legendarily divisive ending, ABC's Losthas still gone down as one of the greatest TV series of all time, setting the standard for "mystery box" shows ever since. Across its six seasons, it boasts some of the most acclaimed and memorable moments in TV history, from its groundbreaking pilot to its infamous flash-forward twist at the end of Season 3. Fans of the series no doubt have different picks for the best season, whether it's Season 1's setup of the island's many mysteries, or Season 3, which opened up the world of the show in all kinds of fantastic ways.

While the show's storyline got weirder and harder to follow in later seasons, Season 4 just might be the series at its very best, an ideal fusion of its island intrigue, high-concept sci-fi, and character development. It features some of the series' biggest payoffs, both from a plot standpoint as well as an emotional one,...

If you’re a new fan of Apple Cider Vinegar, there are a few shows like it to check out on streaming!

Apple Cider Vinegar is the latest in what’s become a TV trend. This Netflix series is based on the true story of Belle Gibson (Kaitlyn Dever), an Australian wellness guru who became a sensation in the early 2010s. Gibson claimed that a special diet had allowed her to cure her terminal brain cancer, becoming a best-selling author and her own media empire.

Then came the truth that Belle never had cancer and lied about so much in her life. The series paints a fascinating picture of Belle’s rise and fall from the top and how and why she crafted this life of deception.

It’s a fascinating story, but it’s hardly the only show of its kind. There’s been a trend in shows about such scammers,...

Prime Video is moving out of the Steel City, cancelling the comedy The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh after just one season, TVLine has confirmed.

The series — which was one of TVLine’s Hidden Gems You May Have Missed from last year’s TV — starred Naveen Andrews (Lost) and stand-up comic Sindhu Vee as the heads of the titular Pradeep family, whose move from India to the States leaves them in hot water with the authorities. “As told through hilarious (and often conflicting) flashbacks from an interrogation room, the Pradeeps quickly find themselves embroiled — romantically, personally, and professionally — with a polar-opposite neighborhood family,...

Exclusive: Prime Video has opted not to renew The Pradeeps Of Pittsburgh for a second season. The news comes more than three months after the eight-episode first season of the immigrant comedy, starring Naveen Andrews, Sindhu Vee, and Megan Hilty, was released on Amazon Freevee.

It is not entirely surprising because The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh, which drew comparisons to ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat, did not make much noise among viewers despite largely favorably reviews (75% on Rotten Tomatoes)

There were outside factors in play, too. The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh was one of several shows lost in the shuffle as the the free, ad-supported Freevee, which had a comedy identity thanks to shows like Jury Duty, was shut down a couple of weeks after The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh‘s launch. Along with the rest of the Freevee slate, the series made the transition to Prime Video, a larger and more...

In 2018, 26-year-old American evangelical missionary John Allen Chau went on the most dangerous mission of his life. He secretly journeyed to North Sentinel Island in the Bay of Bengal in an attempt to convert its small population to Christianity, despite their strident insistence on staying disconnected from the rest of the world. As he tried to make contact with the people of the island, he was killed by arrows. His body was never recovered.

Now, Justin Lin’s Last Days seeks out to provide a coherent characterization of the young evangelical. Chau (Sky Yang) is presented in this misaligned attempt at character-based drama as an over-eager obsessive who never knew how to exercise caution or stop proclaiming his passion for Jesus to the world. A passionate evangelical from a comfortable California suburb, he doesn’t appear to have ever had or wanted any other profession than carrying the gospel to...

Plot: The true story of John Allen Chau (Sky Yang), a devout American Christian missionary who was killed while trying to contact an isolated tribe on North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean.

Review: Justin Lin is best known nowadays for his work on the Fast & Furious franchise. He is the man responsible for elevating what started out as a modestly budgeted, B-level series into the block-busting global behemoth it’s become. Yet, Lin began his career with a Sundance hit called Better Luck Tomorrow, which had an infamous Q&a (an audience member said it was irresponsible to make a movie with an Asian cast that didn’t have positive characters – prompting Roger Ebert to loudly proclaim them as condescending), and is a gem worth checking out if you haven’t seen it.

Lin returns to the indie genre with all the tricks and style he learned directing...

Spoiler Alert: The following review contains spoilers.

You’ve seen it so often, you might roll your eyes, but in “Last Days,” it really happens: American missionary John Allen Chau could have died as he approached North Sentinel Island, had the Bible in his breast pocket not absorbed the blow of a hostile Sentinelese arrow. What was Chau doing halfway around the globe, trying to convert a tribe that had nearly zero contact with the outside world? That’s the mystery director Justin Lin attempts to solve with “Last Days,” prompting an unexpected return to Sundance more than two decades after “Better Luck Tomorrow” launched his career there.

In the interim, Lin has directed no fewer than five “Fast & Furious” movies, which makes this independent production a conspicuous downshift from exorbitantly budgeted studio fare. Chau’s story has been told multiple times, from the Outside magazine article that served...

Director Justin Lin was last at the Sundance Film Festival in 2002 with his breakout indie teen crime drama Better Luck Tomorrow. Twenty-three years later, he is back with yet another indie project, Last Days, and clearly hoping to rekindle the fire that got him attention in the first place. Since 2006’s Tokyo Drift, Lin has been the go-to guy for the Fast & Furious franchise with five of them, most recently Fast 9 in 2019, as well as the most recent big-screen film in another hugely popular franchise, 2016’s Star Trek: Beyond.

Now this veteran director, after a few stops and starts and financing woes, has managed to do a film on his own terms again. And the appeal of making it is obvious, not only because it focuses on a young Asian–American young man and his Chinese immigrant father, but because it definitely affords him the opportunity to tell a...

Justin Lin's latest movie, Last Days, makes its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival today in Park City, Utah, but if it hadn't been for Keanu Reeves, the Fast & Furious director might not be screening his film at all. Lin tackles the subject of John Allen Chau in the biographical drama, chronicling the events that led up to the young missionary attempting to make contact with a remote tribe living on an island in the Indian Ocean.

Speaking with The Wrap during the Sundance festivities, Lin shared with the outlet that there was a moment he wasn't sure Last Days was ever going to get made after financing for the project fell apart. That's often the case with independent productions, but in this situation, it was Keanu Reeves who came to the rescue not because he was looking for any sort of producing credit, but simply because he wanted to help.

When director Justin Lin’s new indie feature “Last Days,” about 25-year-old missionary John Chau who was killed when he made contact with an isolated tribe, ran into financial woes, the filmmaker (also known for blockbusters in franchises like “Fast and Furious” and “Star Trek”) fortuitously got a call from Keanu Reeves.

Sitting with TheWrap’s Sundance Studio presented by World of Hyatt during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, Lin shared that the film ran into trouble while getting off the ground. Reeves helped turn things around.

“It was this one moment where everything fell apart,” Lin said. “I think with all independent experiences you just don’t know. It’s a roller coaster. At that point, I thought it was all going to be done. We have angels along the way that come and really help us. In this case, I got a call from Keanu Reeves who heard that...

Lost became an instant hit when the series debuted on ABC in 2004. Over two decades later, one of the show's writers, Drew Goddard, addressed the possibility of revisiting the franchise.

Speaking to Variety, Goddard said that while there have been no official discussions about a revival, he will never rule out the possibility. "I loved working on that show so much, and I loved what we did," he explained. "I always feel strongly that I don't want to just do karaoke of the show I used to do. I'd only be interested if we felt like we could do something special and new within the construct of the show. And then some of it just comes down to time and appetite. So there's no plan for it today. But never say never."

While Lost enjoyed a passionate...

For all the blood, sweat, and manpower that ABC poured into finding a successor to "Lost" (a show that shaped the course of television in the early 21st century), I'd bet dollars to donuts the network never wagered it would take the shape of "Once Upon a Time."

Conceived by "Lost" alumni and "Tron: Legacy" writers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, "Once Upon a Time" casts "House, M.D." veteran Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan, a seemingly unremarkable bail bond agent who, just like any hero's journey protagonist worth their salt, discovers there's far more to her world (and destiny) than she ever realized. The show itself combines jigsaw puzzle-style storytelling with well-known fairy tale characters -- especially the Disneyfied versions, which was possible thanks to ABC being owned by the Mouse House -- to create a dense lore and elaborate mythos that rivals anything J.J. Abrams or Damon Lindelof could ever hope to dream of.

Before she was the toast of Hollywood, Ella Purnell had a starring role in Zack Snyder's 2021, Army of the Dead, and it's not the only time she's worked with the director. Army of the Dead is one of the Zack Snyder projects that feels a little bit lost to time. That's probably because it was released on Netflix in May 2021, smack-dab in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, not exactly when audiences were searching for a movie about a viral outbreak that destroys society and turns the afflicted into shambling, quarantined monsters.

It's a serviceable zombie action flick but feels a little half-baked in a few too many ways. Perhaps that's why audiences haven't attached themselves to it the same way Snyder fanboys have to movies like Justice League, Watchmen, and 300. Whatever issues the movie has, the cast isn't one of them. Ella Purnell, in particular, is a standout,...
