As many suspected, it sounds as if the Dcu's premiere Green Lantern will be Aaron Pierre's John Stewart, at least by the end of the upcoming HBO superhero drama, Lanterns.

Speaking to CBS Morning, Dcu co-chair James Gunn confirmed that Stewart is the focal point of the story, despite other Green Lanterns being featured.

"We go into Supergirl and Lanterns next summer...It's basically John Stewart's story in a lot of ways, but with those other characters," said Gunn, referencing Guy Gardner and Hal Jordan.

Elsewhere, HBO boss Casey Bloys stated that he's feeling bullish about Lanterns and thinks the show will be just as strong of an Emmy contender as The Penguin, which just secured 24 nominations.

Responding to that notion in an interview with The Wrap,...

It would appear that filming on the True Detective-esque Green Lantern TV show starring Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler has come to a close.

According to social media posts from various cast and crew members, a wrap party to celebrate the milestone was held last night.

The 8-episode Lanterns is slated to hit HBO in early 2026.

— Green Lantern Dcu Updates (@LanternUpdates) July 15, 2025

Lanterns is co-written by Chris Mundy (who also serves as showrunner), Damon Lindelof, and Tom King. James Hawes is directing the first two episodes. Filming for the series began in February 2025 in Los Angeles.

Back when Gunn first announced the Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters slate,...

Nearly a month into its theatrical run, director Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later is sitting neither here nor there. It's a hit, but it hasn't been as massive as Sony would've hoped when it shelled out millions to secure the distribution rights to three new films in the franchise. 28 Years Laterwill probably hit the $150 million mark globally by the end of its run, but this is less than half of what John Krasinski's first A Quiet Place film grossed in theaters. That said, 28 Years Later has outperformed each of its two predecessors with its $138 million haul, and has established itself as one of the 100 highest-grossing horror movies of all time. This weekend, it overtook one of the most era-specific movies in recent memory.

You had to be there to witness the sudden fascination with author Seth Grahame-Smith's comedy novels, two of which were produced into movies.

Earlier reports about Lanterns being grounded may have been misconstrued by fans.

Recently, James Gunn tried to clarify those comments, and now, James Hawes, who directed the Lanterns pilot, is doing the same.

Hawes recently spoke to Phase Hero about the release of The Amateur but also touched on his work on the Dcu's upcoming Green Lantern drama.

"The scripts have so much with, so much character, it's a buddy cop movie, played out in a True Detective, Fargo, No Country For Old Men naturalistic [way] and then somebody flies," exclaimed the British television director.

Addressing previous reports and comments about the series being grounded and the assumption that everything is set on Earth, Hawes stated, "I'm going to talk very obliquely about this because there are excitements to come," teased Hawes.

"It won't disappoint the classic fans. I think it will invite in a whole new audience as well, " Hawes said.

The Horsemen are back — and according to Dave Franco, this next act is the most dazzling yet. Franco, who returns as street magician and sleight-of-hand expert Jack Wilder, recently opened up about reuniting with his longtime co-stars for the long-awaited third installment in the Now You See Me franchise, now officially titled Now You See Me: Now You Don’t. Speaking to Collider's Taylor Gates in a new interview coming later this month for The Studio, Franco hailed the chemistry and the camaraderie that the cast of the franchise shared.

"I've known this cast for nearly 15 years now, and we all genuinely love each other. There's no set that I laugh on more. I just adore these people, and I think the natural camaraderie that we have kind of bleeds through onto the screen, and people can feel how much fun we're having."

Franco is one of several returning favorites alongsideJesse Eisenberg,...

The Horsemen reunite to take down two generations of criminals in Now You See Me Now You Don’t, the third film of the Nysm franchise. The official trailer introduces the third film’s big bad – Rosamund Pike – as well as newbies helping out the original horsemen.

The first film premiered in theaters on May 31, 2013, followed by the sequel, Now You See Me 2, on June 10, 2016. Now You See Me Now You Don’t, originally titled Now You See Me 3, is set to open in theaters on November 14, 2025.

Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, and Morgan Freeman return to star. Newcomers to the franchise include Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt.

“The Four Horsemen return along with a new generation of illusionists performing mind-melding twists, turns, surprises, and magic unlike anything ever captured on film,” reads Lionsgate’s synopsis.

The original film was directed by Fast X‘s Louis Leterrier,...

Who would have thought that the “Now You See Me” franchise would spur some of the biggest names in indie film? Oscar-nominated filmmaker Jesse Eisenberg and Sundance darling Dave Franco both return for third film “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” along with their fellow Four Horsemen magicians Woody Harrelson and Isla Fisher.

And there’s a new generation of indie stars joining the big Lionsgate franchise: Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt, who were also all in person to stage a visual “heist” in the heart of Times Square to promote the trailer. Lionsgate gave away $250,000 in digital payments to fans that texted or called a mysterious phone number that was on a billboard.

“Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” also stars Rosamund Pike and Morgan Freeman. The film is directed by Ruben Fleischer with a script by Seth Grahame-Smith, Michael Lesslie, Paul Wernick, and Rhett Reese.

Lionsgate has released the official trailer and poster for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, the highly anticipated third installment opening in theaters on November 14, 2025.

The film is the sequel to Now You See Me (2013) and Now You See Me 2 (2016). The first film grossed $351.7 million at the global box office, and the second movie brought in $334.9 million.

In the sequel, directed by Ruben Fleischer, the Four Horsemen return along with a new generation of illusionists performing mind-melding twists, turns, surprises, and magic unlike anything ever captured on film.

The cast includes Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt, with Rosamund Pike and Morgan Freeman.

Ruben Fleischer directed from a script by Seth Grahame-Smith and Michael Lesslie and Paul Wernick & Rhett Reese. The story is by Eric Warren Singer. Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Bobby Cohen produced the film.

Lionsgate surprised...

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, the long-awaited third installment of the magic-themed heist franchise Now You See Me, has revealed its first official trailer.

Taking place nearly a decade after the events of Now You See Me 2, the new installment reprises much of the original cast — including Isla Fisher, who didn’t appear in the second film — as well as a new generation of magician thieves. Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Rosamund Pike all join the cast, with Jesse Eisenberg, Dave Franco, Woody Harrelson, and Morgan Freeman also returning.

The trailer finds Danny Atlas (Eisenberg) leading a young band of magicians as they work to steal the coveted “Heart Diamond” — the “most valuable jewel in history” — from the powerful and corrupt Vanderberg family, who are led by Rosamund Pike’s character. As they attempt to secure the jewel, Atlas brings the “Four Horsemen” back together,...

During their panel at the CinemaCon event at the start of this month, Lionsgate showed attendees a trailer for the third film in the Now You See Me franchise, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, which is scheduled to reach theatres on November 14th. JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray was in attendance and reported that “the new movie looks more significant in scope and scale.” Now, you can check out the footage for yourself, because the trailer has dropped online and can be seen in the embed above!

Original Now You See Me cast members Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher (who missed out on the second movie), Dave Franco, and Morgan Freeman all returned to reprise their roles for this sequel and have been joined in the cast by Justice Smith (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves), Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers), Ariana Greenblatt (Borderlands), and Rosamund Pike (Saltburn...

After almost a decade, the Four Horsemen are back. Lionsgate has just dropped the first trailer for Now You See Me: Now You Don't, the long-awaited third installment in the fan-favorite heist thriller franchise.

The official trailer begins with what looks like a Four Horsemen reunion performance; however, it's quickly revealed that a new generation of magicians — played by Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie), Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers), and Justice Smith (Detective Pikachu) — are using the Four Horsemen for their own profit. The ruse is just as quickly uncovered by Jesse Eisenberg's J. Daniel Atlas, one of the original Four Horsemen, who recruits the young trio to help him with a new heist. While Atlas reveals that he parted ways with the Four Horsemen years ago, the team is soon enough reformed, with the two generations coming together to stop a worldwide criminal network.Check out the trailer below.

Exclusive: Lionsgate has unveiled the Emirati capital of Abu Dhabi as a key shooting location for Now You See Me Now You Don’t.

The third instalment of the Now You See Me franchise sees Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco reprise their roles as magicians-turned-master thieves, with support from Isla Fisher, Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, Ariana Greenblatt, Rosamund Pike, and Morgan Freeman.

Little has been unveiled about the plot although the Abu Dhabi backdrop was teased briefly in a trailer reveal at CinemaCon earlier this month.

“The Now You See Me films have always taken audiences on global adventures, and this film is no exception,” said Matt Leonetti, President, Physical Production for the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.

“Abu Dhabi’s iconic locations and incredible people will be part of what makes this film so enjoyable and memorable for worldwide audiences.”

Lionsgate just pulled off a bit of movie magic at CinemaCon. The studio officially unveiled the title for the third film in its hit Now You See Me franchise: Now You See Me: Now You Don’t — although not using this title earlier in the saga remains something of a crime. But that’s not all — director Ruben Fleischer isn’t stopping at just one installment. Lionsgate also revealed he’s already locked in to develop and direct a fourth movie in the action-heist series.

The third entry, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, will hit theaters on November 14, 2025, and it has already completed principal photography. The sequel brings back franchise stars Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson while adding a new generation of illusionists played by rising stars like Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt. Rosamund Pike also joins the franchise for this next caper, and longtime series mainstays Dave Franco,...

Paramount clearly knows how special this milestone is because they’re pulling out all the stops with new TV shows and big-screen spectacles that’ll have us glued to our screens for years to come.

From the continuing voyages of Captain Pike’s Enterprise to brand new stories set in previously unexplored corners of the galaxy, there’s something for every fan to get hyped about. Let’s break down everything we know about what’s coming next in the Star Trek universe!

Along with David Corenswet's Clark Kent, and a smattering of other DC heroes and villains, James Gunn's Superman will also introduce the Green Lanterns to the DC Universe through Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner. Casual comic book fans may know the name Hal Jordan, thanks to the panned Ryan Reynolds-led Green Lantern movie, but Gardner couldn't be more different. While Guy Gardner is a hero and a very strong member of the Green Lantern Corp, Nathan Fillion recently revealed he's not the typical superhero you're used to.

During an interview with TV Guide, Nathan Fillion hyped up Guy Gardner's big-screen debut in Superman, and clued audiences in on what to expect from the extremely arrogant Green Lantern member. "You don't have to be good to be a Green Lantern," Fillion began. "You just have to be fearless." As well as the power bestowed upon him from his...

Thanks to breakout roles in the Scream revival, Netflix's Wednesday and last year's Beetlejuice sequel, Jenna Ortega is fast becoming one of the most sought-after young actors in Hollywood, so it probably won't come as much of a surprise to learn that she's being courted by Marvel Studios.

We have previously heard that Ortega was being eyed for a superhero part, but Daniel Richtman is now reporting that the actress is being considered for a big Marvel Cinematic Universe role.

It's always worth noting that Marvel meets with a lot of talent, but if Ortega has actually entered negotiations for an upcoming project, there's a good chance the trades will get hold of the story before too long.

Even if she is in talks, there's no guarantee that things will work out. Ortega has a busy schedule ahead, with a lead role in Taika Waititi's Klara and the Sun adaptation,...

Based on Tos, it has been 16 years since the theatrical release of the rebooted Star Trek trilogy, which ended with Star Trek Beyond in 2016. With fandom anticipation for Star Trek 4 at an all-time high, according to Trekmovie.com, J.J. Abrams and “Deadpool & Wolverine” producer Simon Kinberg are attached as co-producers with a possible start of production in 2025.

Star Trek 4’s former director, Simon Kinberg, is out and tapped to write and produce a new Star Wars trilogy. Various outlets have reported that Star Trek 4 will be an origin story of 2009’s Star Trek movie instead of a previous Kelvin timeline plot.

Star Trek 4 will be in capable directing and screenwriting hands with Toby Haynes (“Andor” and “Black Mirror” director) and Seth Grahame-Smith (“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” screenwriter). With the Grahame-Smith Star Trek 4 script completed with a possible 2026 release date. Although, there are some uncertainties.

Star Trek: Section 31 breaks away from a Star Trek movie tradition that began in 1979. Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and written by Craig Sweeny, Star Trek: Section 31 premieres Friday, January 24, on Paramount+. Section 31 is the first Star Trek movie made for streaming, and it marks the return of Michelle Yeoh as her fan-favorite anti-heroine, Emperor Philippa Georgiou from Star Trek: Discovery. With Section 31, Yeoh becomes the first woman to headline a Star Trek movie.

Before Star Trek: Section 31, there were 13 Star Trek movies, all of which were theatrically released. Starting with 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture, every decade since has enjoyed at least one Star Trek movie. The first six Star Trek movies starred the cast of Star Trek: The Original Series. Star Trek: The Next Generation then took over the movie franchise with four films. In 2009, J.J. Abrams rebooted Star Trek, setting new adventures of the...

Gremlins 3 has received a reassuring update despite being in development for eight years, when the original writer was attached to the sequel. In 2017, it was announced a potential Gremlins 3 script had been written by Chris Columbus, who penned the screenplay for the 1984 original. Since then, the movie hasn't gotten any concrete updates, aside from confirmation by Colombus in 2020 that creature puppets would be used instead of CGI. The latest release from the franchise is Max's animated Gremlins series, aimed at a younger audience and serving as a prequel to the original.

Now, in a report from Deadline about Warner Bros.' plans for future movie prospects, it was confirmed Gremlins 3 is still in development, with Columbus serving as the writer. This is confirmation that, despite the project not getting any concrete news for five years - and being in development for eight - the sequel is still being worked on.

A Real Pain writer, director, and star Jesse Eisenberg is opening up about how he feels he’s been the target of anti-Semitism throughout his entire career. Per Deadline, via The Times of London, Eisenberg said when he was making his first film he saw various anti-Semitic comments.

Eisenberg said around the time that Roger Dodger came out in 2002 when he was 18 years old, he saw a comment that called him “short, ugly, and Jewish.” He said he saw another person comment, “I hate Seth Rogen and Jesse Eisenberg. I like their movies, but something about them makes me hate them.”

The actor, who was nominated for an Oscar for his work in The Social Network (2010) actor addressed those comments with The Times. “I could have told them what they hate about us! So I know people hate me. It is just something you take as a given and, you know,...

2024 was a great year for movie fans, delivering a combination of instant classics, blockbuster hits, and well-received sequels, from Nosferatu and Longlegs to Twisters and Alien: Romulus. While some of the year's best movies weren't blockbuster hits, others crossed box office records, delivering fan service and entertainment for various fan bases. The year has been perfect for large franchises.

Although not a surprise, 2024 marks a rarity for Hollywood as a year when all of the US' ten highest-grossing movies are sequels, without exception. From long-awaited superhero team-ups to continuations of iconic family animated movies, the year has raked in billions for major studios, affirming the industry's focus on major franchises. Financial success is no guarantee of quality one way or the other, but the year has produced plenty of successful and entertaining films.

In another distinctive year for movies, 2024 featured many actors in Hollywood getting very booked and busy. It is typical for an actor to have one or two projects for them to stand out in the year, yet some actors go beyond and star in three or more movies. Because 2024 became crowded with new cinematic features, most viewers didn't realize they saw one actor multiple times.

These actors in 2024 showcased more of their range. They could transition from a spectacular blockbuster to a more character-driven drama or even an animated feature. Acting veterans like Willem Dafoe and Giancarlo Esposito and continuously rising stars such as Margaret Qualley and Fred Hechinger are just a few of several performers who worked extra hard during this particular year.

If you were an Internet 1.0 denizen, and/or you count yourself among the fans of geek culture, then 2015's "Kung Fury" is probably a favorite of yours. The short film written, directed by, and starring Swedish filmmaker David Sandberg, is a clever and vibrant homage to '80s action movies. A sort of collision between a meme, an Adult Swim special, a parody film, and a fan film (complete with its own underdog Kickstarter crowdfunding origin story) that beat the odds, "Kung Fury" features the involvement of celebrities like Jorma Taccone (of The Lonely Island) and David Hasselhoff, lending a bit of legitimate star power to what otherwise may have been seen as a curious goof. All this is to say that "Kung Fury" is thoroughly delightful, and its short length only helps make the prospect of a sequel more interesting.

Star Trek Origins is a go, and it'll tell the story of the earliest days of the franchise. It'll focus on the developing relations between humans and aliens; most likely focusing on the developing dynamic between humans and Vulcans. It sounds like it may be akin to the old sci-fi film/show Alien Nation in its presentation.

Funny enough, the show version of Alien Nation starred Gary Graham, who would feature on Star Trek: Enterprise as Solar.

With the film now officially in development, who are the people behind the project? Well, the director of the franchise is Toby Haynes, while long-time producer and writer Seth Grahame-Smith will write the story. A story that some fans are nervous about seeing. Yet, should they be?

What have Haynes and Grahame-Smith done and should that give fans pause or excitement about the project?

Grahame-Smith seems to be the more accomplished of the...

A new Star Trek origin movie is reportedly slated for production, just in time for the Star Trek franchises 60th anniversary. Per Trek Movie, via the Puck newsletter, two sources have stated that the script for the new Paramount movie is done and could be greenlit soon.

The new Trek movie script, by Seth Grahame-Smith, could be approved by the end of the year, and the movie could begin shooting in the first half of 2025, according to Trek Movie. The film is set to be directed by Toby Haynes (Andor) and will be an origin story, set long before the era of the U.S.S. Enterprise in the 1966 original Star Trek series. Haynes is also known for directing the Black Mirror episode USS Callister.

The script for Star Trek: Origins, which is not the official name for the movie, written by Seth Grahame-Smith [pictured above], author of the New York Times Bestselling novels, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, reportedly has been finished and is now on its way to an approval. [via Trekmovie] As previously reported, this could mean the movie will begin filming next year and be ready for a release to the big screen in 2026.

At the helm of the movie is Toby Haynes who directed Black Mirror's U.S.S. Callister. That particular episode was written by the series creators Charlie Brooke and William Bridges, who is a Star Trek fan, and was as close to a Star Trek episode as Haynes has gotten. Supposedly, there will be a sequel to this episode in the seventh season of Black Mirror, which Variety confirmed is still happening. It's unknown whether...

Now more than ever, studios have been churning out legacy sequels and reboots that seem to come out almost every week. Some of these couldnt be more exciting for a movie fan. And 2025 should be no different in terms of entertainment.

Next year, moviegoers will get to see all kinds of different follow-up films, from classic comedies to highly anticipated continuations. 2025 is a stacked year for cinema, especially when it comes to sequels.

Now You See Me was a breakout hit starring Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Mark Ruffalo. Its sequel, Now You See Me 2, replaces Fisher for Lizzy Caplan, and unfortunately takes a dip in quality.

When news broke on Thursday that Simon Kinberg — best known for being a writer, producer, director or all of the above on much of the “X-Men” franchise — had been hired by Lucasfilm to write and produce a new “Star Wars” trilogy, it came as a surprise to many executives at Lucasfilm and Disney. The project is considered internally to be in deep development and not nearly ready to be made public.

There was also some surprise within the wider industry that Lucasfilm had turned to Kinberg as the newest steward of “Star Wars” on the big screen. According to multiple industry sources with experience working in the franchise space, Kinberg is seen on one level as a sensible and safe choice. Starting with 2005’s “XXX: State of the Union” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” his films as a screenwriter have grossed more than $3.3 billion worldwide. Beyond the “X-Men” films, he’s also produced “Cinderella,...

It's the movie that fans just aren't sure about. Star Trek: Origins will be set in the Prime Timeline, and according to past reports, it will be set pre-Enterprise, long before Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: Enterprise, and cover Earth's first contact with the Vulcans, which was already done in Star Trek: First Contact. That's just one of the issues fans see coming from a mile away. That said, the movie is going forward regardless.

According to Screenrant, pre-production has already started on the film. Most likely, filming will begin in early 2025. The script will be written Seth Grahame-Smith, and the movie will be directed by Toby Haynes with Simon Kinberg serving as producer.

Though we've been disappointed with films in the franchise before, this one in particular has a chance to throw a wrench into the Prime Timeline or make an egregious error much like Star Trek: Discovery...

While fans are still dealing with the travesty that was The Acolyte and are looking forward to Skeleton Crew, it was reported that a new Star Wars trilogy was in development with Simon Kinberg writing and producing. Neither Disney nor Lucasfilm have given an official statement but it is rumored to be a new story with new characters.

Lucasfilm gas announced many film projects in the past, including a trilogy by Rian Johnson. However, most of these projects have been in limbo. On top of that, giving Kinberg the responsibility to handle a trilogy even before testing the waters may be a controversial decision. However, Kinberg does not come without experience.

Developing A New Star Wars Trilogy Is A Slippery Slope A still from Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens | Credits: Lucasfilm

Apart from the original Star Wars trilogy, no other films have received almost unanimous acceptance from fans or critics.

A new Star Trek reboot movie, set to be based in a pre-Enterprise era, has received an update on its script and filming status. The Star Trek franchise is among the most popular and successful media franchises of all time, and so far has spanned 12 television series and 13 feature films, with the most recent being 2016's Star Trek Beyond. The television film Star Trek: Section 31, starring Michelle Yeoh, is set for a 2025 release, but eight years since a theatrical movie release, the latest reboot update has been highly anticipated.

Per reports in Puck, Paramount is set to develop the project, and details about the writer and director have been released. Simon Kinberg, who is attached to develop the Star Wars franchise with Disney, will first take charge of shepherding the Star Trek reboot, and will produce the untitled movie, with a script penned by Seth Grahame-Smith, and helmed by...

Simon Kinberg's Star Wars trilogy is reportedly "far, far away" in the future, and won't be worked on until after he's finished prior commitments with Star Trek. Yesterday, the Star Wars fandom learned that Simon Kinberg is working on a new Star Wars trilogy. Precious little is known about the project at this stage - reports vary over whether this will be Episodes 10-12 or something new - but Kinberg is an experienced writer and producer with a history of working with big franchises. Lucasfilm has canceled many Star Wars movies over the years, but his background means this has a chance.

According to Puck News, there won't be any movement on this project for quite some time. Kinberg has already signed up to reboot and shepherd the Star Trek franchise at Paramount, and a new Star Trek script has been completed by Seth Grahame-Smith with hopes of beginning...

Star Wars fandom is fuming right now after Lucasfilm has reportedly closed a deal with Simon Kinberg to develop another Star Wars trilogy. While the report suggested that Kinberg is onboarded for a continuation of The Skywalker Saga, insiders disputed the claim and shared that the new trilogy will begin a new saga. Either way, fans do not want the project to be associated with Kinberg.

Kinberg’s recent portfolio hasn’t been very colorful. He is often credited with singlehandedly ruining the X-Men franchise with his involvement in some of the later projects. Little do fans know that he was an executive producer on the latest film in the X-Men series (now Marvel), Deadpool & Wolverine.

The Force is strong with Simon Kinberg.

Lucasfilm has hired the prolific writer and producer to write and produce a new trilogy of “Star Wars” films. An early report insinuated are that this will actually be chapters 10 – 12 of the Skywalker Saga, continuing the path that most recently concluded with “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” in 2019. But there are others that insist this is a standalone series, something akin to the trilogies that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and, separately, Rian Johnson, were working on for the company. It is being referred to as a “new saga.”

Kinberg is no stranger to “Star Wars.” Following the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney, Kinberg was part of a small brain trust that was working on new projects for the studio. He consulted on J.J. Abrams’ “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and co-created the animated series “Star Wars: Rebels” with Dave Filoni.

Exclusive: Lucasfilm has closed a deal with Simon Kinberg to develop a trilogy of Star Wars films. Kinberg will write the trio and produce them with Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy.

I heard this will comprise Episodes 10-12 of The Skywalker Saga that began with George Lucas’s 1977 first film, which, along with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, reshaped the global blockbuster game. Insiders disputed my intel that Kinberg will continue that storyline, saying this instead will begin a new saga, and sit alongside percolating Star Wars projects with James Mangold, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Taika Waititi and Donald Glover. As usual, Lucasfilm and Disney are not commenting.

Kinberg previously worked with Lucasfilm in co-creating with Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck the Emmy-nominated animated series Star Wars Rebels that ran for four seasons from 2014-2018. He was also a consultant on Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, the J.J. Abrams-directed film that...

A wide range of supernatural creatures crop up in horror books, and zombies make especially terrifying villains to read about. This is partly because they start out as humans, meaning just about anyone can turn during a zombie apocalypse. This truth forces readers to face their own mortality, as well as the harsh reality that even loved ones can become monsters.

With such grim messaging, it's no wonder zombie narratives are so popular within the horror genre. Some of the most terrifying horror books out there center on the undead. There are also plenty of great stories that put more unique twists on this common concept.
