After Weapons, Zach Cregger has set up an array of ambitious films, including a Resident Evil adaptation and an original thriller made in the same tone and style as Nightcrawler [Culture Crave]. While the movie is not designed as a direct successor to Jake Gyllenhaal’s 2014 film, it will surely be a spiritual sequel to the cult hit.

The director hasn’t revealed exclusive details about these projects yet, though the fans are invested in seeing what he brings to the table next. Given the success of Weapons at the box office, there is no doubt as to Zach Cregger’s authority over the horror genre. Even so, his Nightcrawler-inspired movie remains the most anticipated of all the projects currently in the pipeline.

If a movie is going to be mostly close-up reactions of its lead actor, then the actor needs to have an expressive face. Jake Gyllenhaal, who more than fits the bill, faced this challenge in the 2021 thriller "The Guilty," directed by Antoine Fuqua (who used unorthodox filming methods to shoot the movie during the pandemic) and scripted by "True Detective" creator Nic Pizzolatto.

In "The Guilty," Gyllenhaal plays Joe Baylor, a 911 dispatcher in Los Angeles. The film takes place almost entirely during one of his shifts. Joe (who has a haunted past) is pretty dispassionate about his job... at first. Then a woman named Emily (Riley Keough) calls him, claiming that she's being kidnapped. Trying to help her from a distance, Joe discovers the culprit is likely her abusive ex-husband Henry (Peter Sarsgaard), but gradually realizes his assumptions about the...

While Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas have not shared a definite reason behind their breakup, the former couple has reflected on how the challenges of young love, growing apart, and personal struggles drew them apart. After meeting on Camp Rock, Lovato and Jonas became one of the hottest Disney couples at the time, with all eyes on them as they shared not only the screen but also the stage.

However, just a few months after going public with their romance, things fell apart, and the former couple broke up in May 2010. “It could have been better timing,” the Jonas Brothers singer told Teen Vogue, adding that he still cared about the Sorry Not Sorry singer and wanted to continue their friendship.

While they never explicitly revealed the reason for their split, the Heart Attack singer has admitted to being heartbroken after their breakup.

You know that little jolt of satisfaction you get when an underdog wipes the smug smile off a corporate villain’s face? That’s The Rainmaker‘s heartbeat.

It’s not just a courtroom drama — it’s scrappy lawyers, big gambles, and emotional haymakers, all wrapped in “how the hell did they pull that off?” energy.

And because it’s coming to USA Network, it’s worth remembering… this network used to own high-stakes, high-entertainment TV. Think Suits, White Collar, Psych — shows that made you care just as much about the characters as the cases.

So if you’re looking for a warm-up before Rudy Baylor and Deck Shifflet hit your screen, here’s your 13-title prep course.

This isn’t homework. This is fun!

Matt Damon is Rudy Baylor, a rookie attorney with more moral fiber than billable hours.

The 2005 sports drama Coach Carter, starring Samuel L. Jackson, is back in the spotlight, and yes, it’s based on a true story. According to FilxPatrol, the movie surged to No. 6 on Netflix‘s Top 10 Movies chart worldwide. It had surpassed major movies like Gladiator II and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Currently, the Netflix chart is dominated by My Oxford Year, KPop Demon Hunters, and Happy Gilmore 2.

Coach Carter is indeed based on true events. It tells the story of Ken Carter, a real-life high school basketball coach at Richmond High School in Northern California. He became a national figure in 1999 after making a controversial yet principled decision. Carter benched his entire undefeated team and locked the gym until his players improved their GPAs above 2.3.

Although he got backlash from parents, school officials, and the local community but when it made it to national news, it earned him praise from across the country.

Nearly a quarter of a century ago, two-time Oscar-nominee M. Night Shyamalan terrified sci-fi fans with his alien invasion movie starring Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix. The Saturn Award-nominated Signs (2002), written and directed by Shyamalan, is climbing up the streaming charts.

Signs has entered AMC+’s Top 10 chart, and per FlixPatrol, is in the No. 9 spot as of Aug. 9. It’s ahead of the Australian drama series The Last Anniversary, which holds the No. 10 spot. Upon its release, Signs was a bona fide hit, earning more than $408 million worldwide against a budget of $72 million.

Shyamalan, known for his movies that often have many twists and turns, has directed several hits, including the Oscar-nominated The Sixth Sense (1999), and cult classics like Unbreakable and Split.

Spider-Man is one of the world’s most loved superheroes. Over the years, we’ve seen many versions of him on screen. From Sam Raimi’s charming Tobey Maguire films in the early 2000s to Andrew Garfield’s emotional take on the web-slinging hero, the visually stunning Spider-Verse animated films, and Tom Holland’s Marvel Cinematic Universe entries, each version has been quite entertaining.

Amazon’s highly anticipated sequel to one of its biggest action hits from last year has now added the perfect villain. Starring Academy Award-nominee Jake Gyllenhaal and rebooting the beloved 80s action outing Road House, it has now been confirmed that the upcoming sequel will bring a former MCU star, and real-life fighter, into the fray.

Following much rumor and speculation, Guardians of the Galaxy and Dune star Dave Bautista will face off with Gyllenhaal in Road House 2. The actor, who is also known for the likes of Blade Runner 2049, Army of the Dead, Knock at the Cabin, and more, as well as his tenure as both a WWE superstar and a stint in Mma, is reportedly “circling” the action movie follow-up, according to Deadline.

Released last year and directed by Doug Liman from a screenplay written by Anthony Bagarozzi (The Nice Guys) and Charles Mondry (Doc Savage...

Of all the WWE superstars who've traded the squared circle for the cinematic stage, Dave Bautista is one of the greats. From Guardians Of The Galaxy to Knock At The Cabin, Dune to Glass Onion, and from The Boy And The Heron to The Last Showgirl, the artist formerly known as Batista has left no genre stone unturned in his quest to master a new craft. Now, the born-again thespian has just landed not one, but two major new gigs: a key villain role in Chad Stahelski's Highlander reboot, and a starring slot opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in Road House 2.

Per Deadline's sidebar 'The Dish', Bautista is rapidly closing in on deals to star in both buzzy projects. In Stahelski's long-gestating Highlander — which is set to see Henry Cavill take on the role of MacLeod alongside Russell Crowe's mentor Ramirez and Marisa Abela's mysterious new...

Dave Bautista, the former WWE champion turned Hollywood A-lister, has officially struck a multi-picture deal with Amazon MGM Studios, Deadline reports. Locking him in for high-profile projects, including the much-anticipated Highlander reboot alongside Henry Cavill and the action-packed Road House 2, the deal sets him up for leading roles in major franchises as he continues to move away from his WWE image.

Known to Marvel fans as Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy, Bautista’s latest career move cements his standing as one of Hollywood’s top action stars with a significant box-office pull. Meanwhile, for Amazon MGM, this move highlights the studio’s ambition to rival the blockbuster slates of Netflix, Disney, and more.

Jake Gyllenhaal could have someone new to punch in the face for Road House 2 if Dave Bautista signs on the dotted line! According to sources close to Deadline, the Dune and Glass Onion star is closing in on deals for two anticipated action films: Road House 2 and Highlander, starring Henry Cavill as the immortal warrior.

Deadline says Dave Bautista will star opposite Henry Cavill in the Chad Stahelski-directed Highlander reboot as the Kurgan, the character made famous by Clancy Brown in the original sci-fi classic starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery. Rumors about who would play Kurgan have circulated since the project’s announcement, and casting Bautista as the immortal powerhouse makes perfect sense.

As for Road House 2, Deadline says Dave Bautista will star opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in the anticipated sequel to Doug Liman’s 2024 remake of the 1989 action epic starring Patrick Swayze. Will Beall (Bad Boys: Ride or Die...

Dave Bautista is stepping into the world of Road House. According to Nexus Point News, the actor has officially joined the cast of Amazon MGM’s upcoming sequel to the 2024 action remake that starred Jake Gyllenhaal.

While details about Bautista’s role haven’t been shared yet, sources say he’ll be playing a former fighter, someone who shares similarities with Gyllenhaal’s character, Dalton. The sequel will also introduce a mostly new cast, which means most of the actors from the first film aren’t expected to return.

Jake Gyllenhaal first talked about wanting to return for a sequel back in March 2024. Just two months later, the sequel was officially confirmed to be in development, with Gyllenhaal set to reprise his role.

Amazon MGM Studio head Jennifer Salke said that work on the project was already underway. In April 2025, director Guy Ritchie entered the picture and was confirmed later...

Dave Bautista is officially joining the cast of the upcoming Road House sequel, according to Nexus Point News.

The new film, which follows the 2024 action remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal, is currently in development at Amazon MGM Studios. While details about Bautista’s role are still under wraps, sources say he’ll be playing a former fighter, similar to Gyllenhaal’s character, Dalton. The sequel will also introduce a mostly new cast, meaning many of the original characters won’t be returning.

Jake Gyllenhaal had already shown interest in a sequel back in March 2024, and by May, the project was officially in development with him back in the lead role. Amazon MGM Studio head Jennifer Salke confirmed that work on the film is moving forward. In April 2025, director Guy Ritchie was in talks to join the project and was later confirmed to direct. The script is being written by Will Beall,...

The long-awaited Highlanderremake is finally coming to fruition, and the project just landed a major MCU star to play the classic villain role. Henry Cavill is set to play the titular immortal warrior, who will be up against a familiar face from the superhero genre.

Deadline reports that Dave Bautista has joined the cast of Highlander as the villainKurgan, originally played by Clancy Brown in the 1986 film. Bautista joins Cavill, Russell Crowe, and Marisa Abela in the Amazon MGM Studios production. John Wick director Chad Stahelski is set to helm the remake, which has been in development since 2008. Cavill is set to play Connor MacLeod, previously portrayed by Christopher Lambert, who fosters a centuries-long rivalry with Kurgan. Crowe has been cast as Sean Connery's character, Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez, while Abela is reportedly playing an original character created for the remake.

Interestingly enough, this is not the first time Bautista...

Dave Bautista is bringing the 1980s back, one action franchise at a time. He's now set to star in two major revivals of '80s VHS action classics from Amazon MGM Studios. He's said to be close to signing on for Road House 2, the sequel to the Jake Gyllenhaal-led remake of the Patrick Swayze brawler, and will also star in Chad Stahelski's revival of the immortal Highlanderfranchise. Bautista is said to be playing the role of the villainous Kurgan in the latter.

According to reports, Bautista is circling both roles, and is expected to sign both, but has not yet officially put pen to paper. In Road House 2, he'll be joining Gyllenhaal, who starred as UFC fighter turned bouncer Dalton in the Doug Liman-directed remake in 2024. Guy Ritchie was originally set to helm the sequel, but dropped out last month; Ilya Naishuller has stepped in to steer the film.

Exclusive: Sources tell us that the Dune franchise actor is closing in on two Amazon MGM Studios movies: Chad Stahelski’s Highlander which UA is also behind, and Road House 2, which Dave Bautista was also circling.

Bautista will star opposite Henry Cavill in Stahelski’s revival of the 1980s classic swordsman movie. We hear he’s playing The Kurgan, a character made famous by Clancy Brown in the original Sean Connery-Christopher Lambert film.

Kurgan was an Immortal who was a contender for The Prize — the power of all the Immortals who ever lived. During his life, Kurgan was a bad dude, killing and raping, and taking the heads of many Immortals. In the original movie, he’s a foe of Lambert’s Connor MacLeod.

Michael Bay has exited Netflix’s action film Fast and Loose amid creative differences with star Will Smith, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Fast and Loose focuses on a crime boss who loses his memory after an attack and gradually learns that he was leading a double life as a CIA agent. Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Chris Bremner and Eric Pearson worked on the screenplay. Jon and Erich Hoeber wrote the original script after selling their pitch to Netflix.

The streamer is looking to begin production in 2026 and will be focused on attaching a filmmaker in the meantime. THR reported in October that Bay was set to helm the project.

Fast and Loose has been in the works since before Smith’s slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars ceremony. THR previously reported that David Leitch had exited the project the week before the infamous Academy Awards telecast to start work on The Fall Guy,...

Jake Gyllenhaal is hard at work on his new movie.

The 44-year-old Oscar-nominated actor and co-star Ashley Walters filmed scenes together for their new M. Night Shyamalan supernatural romantic thriller Remain on Tuesday afternoon (August 5) in Bristol, Rhode Island.

The two actors filmed at what appeared to be an outdoor music festival.

The upcoming movie is a story co-created by M Night Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks, who are writing the film and an accompanying novel, respectively, based on the same original love story.

Both the movie and the novel will be based on the story’s concept and characters, but will be tailored to their respective platforms. As of right now, plot details are being kept under wraps.

Remain is scheduled to hit theaters on Oct. 23, 2026. A Bridgerton actress will also be starring in the movie!

After many noble but failed attempts, the world will finally, rightly, spend an entire year praising Rose Byrne. That start-to-finish continuity comes with a minor caveat, since the acclaimed performance that kicked off 2025 is the same one likely to see it out, but that’s just the beauty of a Sundance premiere with enough Oscar buzz to command a fall release: The Park City crowd gets to fawn all over “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” nine months before everyone else can join the chorus.

In a way, 2025’s minor haul and major lift mimic Byrne’s steady rise in the Hollywood ranks. While Ellen Parsons’ senior associates (aka “Damages” fans) have known for nearly two decades there aren’t 12 comparable actors who could form a jury of her peers, it’s taken an expansive repertoire of roles to prime our favorite Aussie actor for her big year. By...

It’s been a quiet year for Ryan Reynolds so far after reprising his role as Wade Wilson in Deadpool & Wolverine, but one year after he played the Merc With a Mouth for the first time, he starred in a sci-fi horror film that’s become a hit on streaming charts. Reynolds stars alongside Rebecca Ferguson (Silo), Hiroyuki Sanada (Shōgun), and Jake Gyllenhaal (Presumed Innocent) in Life, the 2017 film following a team of scientists aboard the International Space Station who discover a rapidly evolving Martian predator that must be kept away from Earth. Despite releasing eight years ago, Life is still a hit on global VOD charts, trending in countries such as Nicaragua. The film earned scores of 67% from critics and 55% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed almost exactly $100 million at the box office against a $58 million budget.

Life is, unfortunately, not streaming anywhere in the United States,...

14 ‘Community’: Pierce Hawthorne

Chevy Chase has been a menace to the cast and crew around him for decades, and Community famously disrespected him by making the character of Pierce reflect the doddering racism of the actor himself. The season after he left the show, it was casually revealed that he died of dehydration while filling up jugs of sperm.

Brian Tyree Henry is three for three when it comes to Emmy nominations in the major acting categories, having nabbed his first for best guest actor in 2017 for his appearance as the long-lost cousin of Ron Cephas Jones’ William on the NBC drama This Is Us; his second a year later for his supporting actor role as Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles in the FX comedy Atlanta; and now a lead actor nod for his portrayal of Ray Driscoll in Apple TV+’s limited series Dope Thief.

“This is a sexy-ass category,” says Henry of being nominated alongside Colin Farrell (The Penguin), Jake Gyllenhaal (Presumed Innocent), Cooper Koch (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story) and Stephen Graham (Adolescence), to whom he expects to take a graceful L.

“I hit up Stephen, because I love Stephen Graham — I truly, truly love him,” adds Henry, “and I keep telling him, ‘It’s...

Daveigh Chase is most popularly known for her iconic horror role in the 2002 film, The Ring, where she played the terrifying Samara Morgan. For her role in the film, she won the Best Villain award at the 2003 MTV Awards, beating out veterans like Mike Myers, Colin Farrell, Willem Dafoe, and Daniel Day-Lewis.

Despite her early fame in Hollywood, Chase couldn’t stay long enough in the industry. She last acted in or voiced a role in films, TV, or video games in the year 2016. Following the film American Romance, her career appeared to have come to a pause. At this point, fans can only guess that the actress has possibly retired from Hollywood.

Over the last decade, Chase has been largely away from the public eye. She doesn’t have any social media presence as of now. Daveigh Chase’s Instagram feed was last updated in November 2017. Her feed was...

Henry Cavill will always be known for his role as Superman, but long before he ever starred in Man of Steel, he teamed up with a Daredevil: Born Again star for a forgotten fantasy thriller that’s resurfaced on streaming charts. Cavill stars alongside Charlie Cox and Ian McKellen (X-Men) in Stardust, the 2007 fairytale epic following a young man who makes a promise to the love of his life to bring home a fallen star from a magical land. Despite releasing over 15 years ago, Stardust has returned to global VOD charts, trending in several countries, including Namibia. Stardust was well-liked by both fans and critics, earning a 77% score from the former and 86% from the latter on Rotten Tomatoes. It also grossed $137 million at the box office against a $70 million budget, meaning it fell just short of breaking even.

While Henry Cavill and Charlie Cox have ample star power for any movie,...

That makes it the fourth most-watched Amazon MGM Studios film of all-time on Amazon’s Ott service.

The pic ranks behind the Dwayne Johnson-Chris Evans Christmas action title Red One from Jake Kasdan, which is Prime Video’s most watched Amazon MGM feature title of all time.

The Fault in Our Stars is...

Each of Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies has had a special guest star Marvel character (as if Spider-Man himself isn't enough to get people to theaters). "Homecoming" had Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), "Far From Home" had Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and "No Way Home" had Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and previous Spider-Man actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield (plus a slight cameo from Charlie Cox as Daredevil).

The upcoming fourth film, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" (which just revealed its first eight-second-long teaser) is not changing the team-up formula. The movie will face the challenge of trying to match the scale of "No Way Home" but it'll face this head-on and at worst go down swinging like Peter Parker does. It's already been confirmed that Jon Bernthal will be appearing as the Punisher in the movie, and he's sure to be (at best) an uneasy ally for Spider-Man. Now,...

Jake Gyllenhaal recently wrapped filming on Guy Ritchie’s new action movie, In the Grey, but before it hits theaters, one of his films that will celebrate an important anniversary this year has returned to streaming charts. Gyllenhaal stars alongside Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) and Sam Worthington (Avatar) in Everest, the 2015 survival thriller following two mountain guides who combine their expedition teams for one final ascent to the summit of Mount Everest.

Simon Beaufoy and William Nicholson wrote the script for Everest, and Baltasar Kormákur directed the film. Two years before Everest,...

Henry Cavill’s name has been drawing attention again after being replaced as Superman by David Corenswet but his earlier work is finding a fresh audience.

The Midsommar star, who was recently revealed to be leading Lee Cronin’s upcoming take on The Mummy, will appear in the series opposite Rachel Brosnahan, who is still up in the clouds thanks to the massive success of James Gunn’s Superman. From what we know so far about the next set of episodes, the title will follow an anthology format, meaning there won’t be any crossover from the debut installment, which featured leading performances from Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga, Lily Rabe, and more.

The debut season of Presumed Innocent followed the familiar path of Scott Turrow’s 1987 bestselling novel of the same name and marked the second time the story received an on-screen telling, the...

“Midsommar” star Jack Reynor has joined Rachel Brosnahan in Season 2 of the Apple TV+ legal thriller “Presumed Innocent.”

The next installment of the series is based on Jo Murray’s upcoming novel, “Dissection of a Murder,” which will be published in 2026. Season 1 of “Presumed Innocent” was based on Scott Turow’s 1987 book, which was then adapted into the 1990 movie with Harrison Ford.

Apple TV+ has yet to spill any plot details about Season 2, but the official synopsis of “Dissection of a Murder” reads: “When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she’s shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn’t be the kind of case she’s leading; it’s way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her. To make things worse, he’s refusing to talk. How is she supposed...

According to Deadline, Jack Reynor is set to join Rachel Brosnahan (Superman) in the second season of Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent.

The first season of the legal thriller was based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Scott Turow, but the second will be based on Dissection of a Murder by Jo Murray, which will be published next year. Although the logline for the series remains under wraps, the synopsis for the novel reads: “When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she’s shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn’t be the kind of case she’s leading; it’s way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her.“

Henry Cavill’s name has been circulating after being replaced as Superman by David Corenswet, but nearly 20 years ago, he starred in a historical soap opera that’s returned to streaming charts. Cavill stars alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Vikings) and Anthony Brophy (The Devil’s Own) in The Tudors, the costume drama following the scandalous life of a young king and his obsession with producing a male heir. All four seasons of the show are streaming on both Prime Video and Paramount+ in America, but globally, the series is trending in countries such as the Netherlands and Taiwan. The Tudors earned solid scores of 69% from critics and 84% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, with Season 3 being well-regarded as the strongest of the bunch, earning a nearly flawless 90% on the Tomatometer.

Michael Hirst is the sole writer and creator of The Tudors, but he recruited directors like Ciaran Donnelly, Jeremy Podeswa, and Dearbhla Walsh...

There are plenty of movies that deserve to be universally praised. Maybe the casting is flawless, the story hits all the right notes, and the direction is top-tier. Fans walk away loving it, quoting it, rewatching it. But do the critics always agree? Not really. A film can have all the right ingredients and still miss the mark with critics.

Just look at something like Heat with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, or David Fincher’s Zodiac starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Both are modern classics in the eyes of fans, yet they’re not exactly topping the Rotten Tomatoes charts.

To truly earn a high Rotten Tomatoes score, a movie has to land with both audiences and critics alike. It has to offer something special, whether it’s a bold story, unforgettable characters, or a fresh take that no one saw coming. Some movies do just that, crushing it at...

Veep ended its run on HBO more than five years ago, but its satirical take on modern American politics feels as timely as ever. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who earned multiple Primetime Emmy Awards for her showstopping performance as the show's title character, has even said that her deliciously controversial character shares traits with Donald Trump. Alongside the infamous Selina Meyer for virtually all seven seasons was her anxiety-stricken Chief of Staff Amy Brookheimer, played to perfection by Anna Chlumsky. Years after earning child-star status for her acclaimed turn in My Girl (1991), Chlumsky proved she's still a talent to watch with her Emmy-nominated performance on Veep — and it hasn't stopped there.

In addition to leading the hit Netflix series Inventing Anna (2022), Chlumsky can now be spotted in multiple standout episodes of the gritty new series Smoke on Apple TV+. MovieWeb recently caught up with Chlumsky while she was promoting Smoke, and she...

American Hustle Ott Release Update (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

Christian Bale took a sharp turn after finishing his time as Bruce Wayne. A year after closing that chapter, he stepped into the flashy, scheming world of American Hustle, a slick period drama built on cons and lies. The film, set in the late 1970s, follows a seasoned con man and his sharp partner, both forced to work under an unpredictable FBI agent who pulls them into the mess of New Jersey’s underworld. Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper share the screen with Bale, all tangled in a story of scams, style, and, of course, power.

American Hustle Streaming Date Revealed

According to Collider, American Hustle will be available to stream on Paramount+ starting August 1. It had previously been on Pluto TV but now arrives on a bigger platform with a 92% critics rating and over $250 million in global earnings.

Christian Bale will always be known for playing Batman in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, but one year after he played Bruce Wayne for the final time, he featured amidst a star-studded ensemble in a period drama that’s coming to streaming. Bale stars alongside Amy Adams (Man of Steel) and Bradley Cooper (Superman) in American Hustle, the 2013 film following a con man and his seductive partner who are forced to work for a wild F.B.I. agent who pushes them deep into the throes of New Jersey’s mafia. Currently only streaming on Pluto TV, Paramount+ has stepped in and confirmed that American Hustle will begin streaming on the service on August 1.

David Fincher's Zodiac remains one of Hollywood's most in-depth true crime thrillers. The movie's ending was neither definitive nor cathartic, but it did suggest the prime suspect was the culprit.

True crime fans can revisit Zodiac when it streams on Paramount+ on Aug. 1. It's arguably David Fincher's best film, which recounts the investigation into a series of murders in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1960s. Boasting an all-star ensemble led by Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, and Robert Downey Jr., Zodiac followed one of the case's many rabbit holes to the very end, which left audiences second-guessing.

The film remained faithful to eyewitness accounts, especially from the surviving victims. The Zodiac killer's true identity was linked to a handful of suspects, but primarily Arthur Leigh Allen (played by John Carroll Lynch), who matched the profile based on circumstantial evidence. At the center of the investigation is San Francisco...

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is already making waves with its surprising cast list. However, evidence suggests that the 2026 movie is also looking to break a long-running Spider-Man trend with its choice of villain.   

According to a casting report, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is looking to feature a female antagonist, marking the first time in the cinematic web-slinger's 24-year history that its big bad won't be male. Casting descriptions describe the groundbreaking female villain as "powerful and imposing," requiring an actress with a "strong and commanding screen presence." Reportedly, Marvel Studios is already in negotiations with a star but has yet to reveal who will join the ranks of Willem Dafoe's quotable Green Goblin, Alfred Molina's iconic Doc Ock, or Jake Gyllenhaal's illusory Mysterio.

Directed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Destin Daniel Cretton, Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4 is slated for a July 31, 2026, release.
