After that eye-opening and heartbreakingly tragic Season 3 finale, Fromfans are more desperate than ever to return to the mysterious Town for some more answers. Luckily, it’s not a question of if we’ll be going back, but when, as the series scored a Season 4 renewal even before the Season 3 finale aired. Speculation has been swirling for months about its return date. Back in March, executive producer Jeff Pinkner hinted that a late‑2025 premiere was possible, saying, “We’re wildly hopeful that it will be on the air in 2025.” But series creator and co‑executive producer John Griffin poured a bit of cold water on that optimism, suggesting a 2026 debut was more realistic as filming could stretch into the holidays. Now, a new update from Catalina Sandino Moreno, who plays Tabitha Matthews, seemingly confirms that Griffin’s prediction was the right one.

Speaking with The Direct, Moreno offered an update...

Fromis one of the most popular sci-fi horror series created in recent years. While the show has been renewed for a fourth season, fans may have a long wait before the new installment hits screens.

Speaking to The Direct, series star Catalina Sandino Moreno, who plays Tabitha Matthews, said that although Season 4 is expected to wrap filming in a few months, new episodes will only be released in 2026. "I think the end of the year is a pretty quick turnaround, because I feel that we finish [in] November," she explained. "So, I don't have high hopes at the end of the year, but next year, the beginning of next year, it's going to come."

When asked if she could offer any insight into the upcoming season, Sandino Moreno said she "[hasn't] read the first script yet," and doesn't know what to expect from the upcoming episodes. Created by John Griffin,From premiered...

The wait for From season 4 just got longer, according to star Catalina Sandino Moreno. Even though the From season 3 finale aired on MGM+ almost a year ago, debuting in November 2024 and concluding with a major character's death, viewers have been left to speculate on what happens next due to the extended break between episodes.

In an interview with The Direct, Sandino Moreno confirmed that the wait for From season 4 is going to be a bit longer. The Oscar-nominated performer, who plays Tabitha Matthews in the sci-fi horror series, said that filming is likely to wrap in November and that new episodes may arrive at the beginning of next year.

I think next year, I think the end of the year is a pretty quick turnaround, because I feel that we finish [in] November. So, I don't have high hopes at the end of the year, but next year, the beginning of next year,...

ABC's sci-fi adventure drama Lost is considered one of the best shows of all time, and its popularity continues even over a decade and a half after its finale in 2010. Luckily, fans have a new replacement show in MGM+'s From.

The two sci-fi shows share several similarities, whether it's because of their shared creative minds, the common themes, or supernatural creatures that are either good or evil. However, From is not just a replacement for Lost because of its similarities, but also because both brought something fresh and original to the genre. Although Lost wrapped over a decade and a half ago,From will continue with Season 4, and the show is currently making a splash in the charts, FlixPatrol reports.

From premiered in 2022, and although it features a near-perfect score from the critics, the series is still criminally underrated. The series released its most recent season on Sept. 22, 2024, and,...

A sci-fi supernatural horror series that has a nearly-perfect 96% on Rotten Tomatoes is climbing the streaming charts. As fans of Fromawait news on the status of the show’s fourth season, the series is up one position on MGM+’s Overall Top 10 List as of July 6.

Making movies is challenging, and making a splash at the box office is even harder. On paper, a John Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas as a lethal soldier of the Ruska Roma sounds like a guaranteed money-maker. However, audiences are fickle, and going to the cinema is expensive, even if you’re sneaking snacks from the Bulk Barn and requesting sparkling water instead of Coca-Cola. Despite positive reviews and solid word of mouth, Armas’s Ballerina stumbled at the box office. Thankfully, Ballerina is already Jetéing to the top of the PVOD charts.

According to FlixPatrol, Ballerina finished second on iTunes in the United States on July 1 and July 2. The action-packed film finished third on Vudu and seventh on Amazon on July 2.

Produced on a reported $90 million budget, Ballerina danced to a $110 million take at the worldwide box office. These aren’t the numbers you’d expect from a John Wick spin-off,...

A John Wick spinoff movie that made $105 million at the box office is now available on digital platforms after spending one month in theaters. The action franchise started in 2014 with John Wick, starring Keanu Reeves as the legendary assassin who comes out of retirement to seek revenge against those who killed his dog, a final gift from his recently deceased wife.

Since then, the franchise and its intricate mythology have expanded significantly with three sequels and John Wick: Chapter 5 currently in the works, all directed by Chad Stahelski. Other than the mainline movies, there have also been various spin-offs that have expanded the franchise. This includes the Peacock miniseries The Continental, exploring the origins of the titular hotel and assassin safe haven.

There are also several John Wick spinoff movies in the works, including one focused on Caine with Donnie Yen reprising his role from John Wick: Chapter 4 in addition to directing.

Although John Wick is set to have a highly-anticipated fifth installment, the franchise is rapidly expanding beyond the reach of Keanu Reeves' titular character. The first major spin-off, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, hit theaters earlier this year to generally positive buzz. The acclaimed spin-off is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 76% rating, while audiences especially loved it, registering an impressive 93% on the Popcornmeter scale. Of course, it is hard to compare to the action film series that has grossed $1 billion, but Ballerina was able to recapture the magic and introduce a new assassin, played by Ana de Armas. After less than a month in theaters, the spin-off is headed to home entertainment.

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina is now available to purchase or rent on digital platforms and Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) as of Jul. 1. A streaming platform release date has not been announced just yet.

Following its run in theaters, Ballerina: From the World of John Wick can now be watched at home. As of July 1, the film is available on premium digital and premium video on demand from Lionsgate.

The new release of Ballerina comes with some bonuses, and Cbr has an exclusive clip. In the video, Daniel Bernhardt (Scarred Eye) discusses the violent fight he has in the film with Ana de Armas' Eve Macarro. As the actor explained, de Armas had very little preparation time for the scene, but everyone was impressed by just how quickly she was able to nail it. Check out the video below.

Bonus materials also include deleted and extended scenes, along with three featurettes:

Aunque pueda parecer que ha pasado una eternidad desde el final de la tercera temporada, lo cierto es que fue en noviembre de 2024 cuando los seguidores de From vieron su último episodio, una season finale que dejó muchísimas preguntas por responder. Sin embargo, la mayor de todas ha sido: ¿cuándo volverá la serie? La espera, sentimos decirlo, será larga, pero al menos traemos buenas noticias: la cuarta temporada de From ya ha comenzado su rodaje.

Este intrigante thriller de ciencia ficción y terror ha acompañado durante tres temporadas al sheriff Boyd Stevens (Harold Perrineau), la familia Matthews y otros muchos atrapados en un pueblo maldito del que nadie parece poder escapar.

No se ha anunciado el reparto oficial de la cuarta entrega, no obstante, se espera que regresen Harold Perrineau como el sheriff Boyd, David Alpay como Jade, Catalina Sandino Moreno como Tabitha, Hannah Cheramy como Julie Matthews,...

Ballerina Ott Release Date Update(Photo Credit –Facebook)

The John Wick spin-off movie Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas in the lead role, hit the big screen earlier this month on June 6. If you could not catch the film in theatres for any reason, there is nothing to worry about. In a fantastic update for movie buffs, the action-packed thriller is all set to start streaming online soon. Read on to find out its digital release date and what the film is all about.

Ballerina Digital Release Date & Platform

Ballerina is expected to be released on digital streaming via premium video on demand (PVOD) on July 1, 2025. In the U.S., the film is likely to be available on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and YouTube. According to the report, When to Stream shared the digital release date update, which also clarified that the film’s studio, Lionsgate, has...

The third season of the sci-fi horror series From finished airing in November of 2024 – and that same month, MGM+ announced that they had ordered a fourth season of the show. Now, the official “From on MGM+” social media account has revealed that season 4 has officially started filming!

You could say we've been reborn. From Season 4 production has begun! @mgmplus #From #FROMily pic.twitter.com/GQNxbqRlFs

— From on MGM+ (@FROMonMGM) June 26, 2025

Written and created by John Griffin, From is described as a “contemporary sci-fi horror series”. The show aims to unravel the mystery of a nightmarish town in middle America that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.

The cast of From includes Catalina Sandino Moreno...

Horror stories bring chills to the bones and the MGM+ horror hit From often has viewers feeling that way. It is also a never-ending maze, week after week of twists and turns that could end in a horrific death or a frankly unexpected plot twist. Season 3 of the horror series ended on a cliffhanger, but thankfully, it sets up Season 4 which was renewed in the lead-up to that finale, to start answering some of those lingering questions. As we look forward to the show's return, a new filming update has come from one of the show's stars, which should calm some of its more impatient fans.

From Season 4 is expected to arrive sometime later this year or in early 2026, and it would seem like the join towards that has begun. In a post shared on Instagram, Elizabeth Saunders, who plays Donna in the MGM horror television show, has teased fans that season 4 is currently underway.

What's your favorite Batman performance to date? For some, it's an easy pick. Even if your top choice isn't Ben Affleck from Zack Snyder's DC Universe, fans were certainly excited to see the Caped Crusader face off against the Man of Steel in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice back in 2016. Affleck won the part over a number of actors who auditioned for the coveted superhero role, including underrated action legend Scott Adkins (Undisputed), as confirmed during MovieWeb's recent interview with the action star. MovieWeb caught up with Adkins while he was promoting his latest filmDiablo, and the famed martial artist noted that his connection to Affleck didn't end with Batman. They'll be spotted together in Netflix's upcoming film The Rip.

"I'm Ben Affleck's brother in that. And that was gonna happen at some point, I suppose, because we bear a resemblance, apparently," Adkins told MovieWeb. "I worked...

Lost is one of the most popular shows of all time, its mystery and controversial ending still being a big topic of conversation, 15 years after its series finale. Although many shows tried to replace it, few could.

MGM+'s From is one worthy spiritual successor, though. The mystery horror series has many themes in common with Lost, as both shows explore survivors dealing with an unexpected event. Since its release in 2022, From has grown exponentially more popular and, while fans await Season 4, the series is rising again on streaming, going up one point on MGM+ despite no new updates to the follow-up, per FlixPatrol.

The mystery horror has been constantly in the Top 5 on MGM+'s charts last week. It has been ranging between the fourth and fifth position, but on June 21, From has gone up one position to third place, proving fans are more than ready to get back to the mysterious town.

Ballerina Vs John Wick ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

After a one-year delay, the eagerly awaited John Wick spin-off Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas in the lead role, is finally playing in U.S. theatres. The action thriller, directed by Len Wiseman, is set to release in India on June 13. Currently, the film holds a 75% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. But how does it stack up against the original John Wick film series in terms of their current IMDb user ratings? We compared Ballerina with each of the John Wick films on IMDb to see whether it holds its own within the franchise.

Ballerina Vs John Wick Films – IMDb Ratings Compared

Jack Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) – 7.6/10 John Wick (2014) – 7.5/10 John Wick: Chapter 2 – (2017) – 7.4/10 John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) – 7.4/10 Ballerina (2025) – 7.3/10

So, as you can see, Ballerina hasn’t managed to outscore any of the John Wick films on IMDb until now. That said, it’s not far behind either.

This story contains Spoilers for Ballerina.

Ballerina director Len Wiseman shared one of his original ideas for the John Wick spinoff’s ending sequences, which would have introduced another character. The filmmaker is no stranger to the action genre, after previously directing two Underworld movies, 2007’s Live Free or Die Hard, and 2012’s Total Recall.

During a recent interview with EW, Wiseman opened up about his alternate ending idea, which involves Eve’s supposedly dead mother. This scrapped ending’s surprising twist will not only reveal that Eve’s mother was alive all along, but it would have also shown Eve’s mother as the one who ordered the hit on her.

"At one point I had [in the script] that she meets her mother, and we never got there,” he said. “We were maybe going to shoot the scene, but that's always something that we hear, her mother's dead, but in this world,...

Lionsgate is touting the box office success of its new John Wick spin-off film, Ballerina. The film debuted in theaters on June 6 and has been well-received by critics and audiences.

In a press release from Lionsgate, the distributor bragged about Ballerina's impressive opening performance while sharing how much the film brought in during its first weekend. The John Wick spinoff film took in an estimated $25 million domestically this weekend while playing at 3,409 locations. Internationally, Ballerina opened in 82 countries and earned an estimated $26 million, bringing the film's global start to $51 million. It was #1 in numerous key territories, including the United Kingdom, Mexico and China.

"This is a solid start for a new character not introduced in any of the previous John Wick films," the press release reads. It also notes how the film is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and has an equally impressive 94% audience score -- a franchise high...

Warning! Major spoilers ahead for Ballerina.From the World of John Wick: Ballerina director Len Wiseman shares his theory about who put the contract on Ana de Armas' Eve Macarro at the end of the movie. The latest installment in the John Wick franchise follows Eve as she seeks for revenge for the murder of her father. The Ballerina ending sees Eve accomplish her mission, killing the Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne) in Hallstatt, but she's not out of the woods yet. Just before the credits roll, Eve sees on her phone that there's a large contract on her head, but it's not clear who placed the hit.

In a recent interview with EW, Wiseman comments on this ambiguous Ballerina ending, revealing that he thinks a specific figure from Eve's past could be responsible for the contract. According to the director, an early draft of the script had Eve interacting more with her Cultist mother,...

The official convoluted yet more beguiling title to the 2025 movie Ballerina directed by Len Wiseman is From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. We all know that this is because firstly, ‘Ballerina’ is a terrible film name and John Wick is a fantastic fan favourite franchise.

Ballerina isn’t the first spin-off to use the moniker of one of Keanu Reeves most popular and pain-inducing characters. The excellent prequel TV miniseries The Continental, which detailed the rise to power of one of John Wick’s key characters Winston Scott was also tagged as being ‘From the World of John Wick’.

But what does that strange subtitle actually mean? Well, what started as a seemingly middle of the road revenge story in 2014, penned by Derek Kolstad, has turned into a sprawling epic all action quadrilogy. It was elevated above other martial arts and trigger happy flicks by its lead actor, some...

Ballerina star Catalina Sandino Moreno helped break down that big surprise twist at the end of the recent John Wick spin-off film. The movie follows Ana de Armas' Eve Macarro, a ballerina assassin looking to make her mark in the underground criminal world by taking out her vengeance against the people who killed her father.

In the final act, it's revealed that Moreno's Lena, another assassin hunting Eve, is actually her long-lost sister. This reveal upends both of the sisters' entire perspectives on their lives and their situation—one that quickly turns deadly, with Lena losing her life to an explosion. The Direct spoke with Moreno in an exclusive interview, where she explained how "everything changes" for Lena the moment she learns who Eve Macarro is.

Ballerina, directed by Len Wiseman and distributed by Lionsgate, is playing in theaters worldwide.

Disney’s Lilo & Stitch is dancing circles around From the World of John Wick: Ballerina at the domestic box office.

The live-action blockbuster, now in its third weekend, will top the chart for the third consecutive weekend with $33 million more or more from 4,185 theaters after clearing the $300 million milestone on Thursday. By Sunday, the pic’s North American total should be an estimated $336 million and well north of $650 million globally.

Ballerina, the first John Wick spinoff, looks to finish second with a softer-than-expected $25 million to $27 million from 3,409 venues. Ana de Armas plays the title role in the R-rated action pic, with main franchise star Keanu Reeves also making an appearance.

Three weeks ago, Ballerina was tracking to open to $35 million or more. Projections were lowered to $30 million-plus heading into the weekend and even further. The pic opened Friday in first place with an estimated $10.8 million, including $3.75 million in previews, but...

Ana de Armas has become a popular name among actresses in Hollywood. Over the past few years, she has proved her mettle as an action star and got her solo film, Ballerina. John Wick is an action-packed franchise. This latest addition also has some amazing stunts and is R-rated as well. Ana’s film opened in a favorable spot in China. Keep scrolling for more.

The film also earned favorable preview numbers at the box office in North America. This John Wick spin-off registered the third-biggest collection from previews domestically. In China, Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning has been dominating the box office at #1 rank since it was released last Friday.

Ballerina, which is being marketed as From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, was released in China on Friday, aligning with its worldwide release.

The John Wick spin-off Ballerina (which has been marketed as From the World of John Wick: Ballerina) is now in theatres. JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray has shared his take on the film, and his 7/10 review can be read at This Link. Now we want to know, what did you think of the movie?

Back in 2017, Lionsgate bought an action thriller spec script called Ballerina, which was written by Shay Hatten and ranked on The Black List as one of the best unproduced screenplays of that year. The idea was to have Hatten rewrite the script to take place within the world of Lionsgate’s John Wick franchise – and Hatten was also hired to co-write John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, which included a set-up for the Ballerina concept of ballerina assassins. Hatten did his rewrite, Len Wiseman was hired to direct the film, Ana de Armas was cast as the title character,...

Stars: Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick | Written by Shay Hatten, Derek Kolstad | Directed by Len Wiseman*

Taking place between the events of John Wick 3: Parabellum and John Wick 4, this spin-off action thriller is nominally directed by Len Wiseman, although it’s worth noting that John Wick director / fight co-ordinator Chad Stahelski reportedly reshot the majority of the movie over three months of reshoots. Suffice it to say that the film’s action sequences have a very Stahelski-esque feel to them, either way.

The film begins with a prologue sequence, in which a young girl named Eve (Victoria Comte) witnesses her father being murdered by a squad of goons under the command of The Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne). Eve is subsequently taken in by Continental Hotel owner Winston Scott (Ian McShane), who takes her to a ballet school run by the...

“Ballerina,” Lionsgate’s attempt to expand its “John Wick” franchise, earned $3.75 million in preview screenings on Thursday.

The action spinoff stars Ana de Armas as a dancer turned assassin, obsessed with extracting revenge over her father’s murder. “Ballerina” is expected to gross between $28 million to $30 million from 3,400 North American locations in its first weekend of release. Overseas, where the film is opening in 82 markets, it should pick up another $30 million. The film’s full title is the insanely clunky, focus-tested within an inch of its life, nearly as long as its 125 minute running time, “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina.”

Keanu Reeves has starred in four “John Wick” films and makes in appearance in “Ballerina.” But the film is being carried by de Armas, an Oscar-nominee for “Blonde,” as well as the star of more mainstream fare such as “Knives Out” and “No Time to Die.” The film,...

Actor Catalina Sandino Moreno joins the John Wick universe as an assassin for Gabriel Byrne's Tribe faction in Ballerina. The actor discusses her two-week training, which The Affair actor says was not enough. The Colombian-born actor did learn how to hold a gun, which proved beneficial for her next action movie with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Keanu Reeves insists he hasn’t paid attention to how many people have been killed in the “John Wick” franchise.

“John’s just focused on one thing at a time,” Reeves told me at the “Ballerina” premiere on Tuesday. “He doesn’t look at that. He’s just trying to survive.”

But Chad Stahelski, who directed the first four “John Wick” movies and oversees the franchise across all media for Lionsgate, has a hunch at the franchise’s body count. “I would like to think we cracked a thousand,” he said. “I think we’re probably right around there.”

Stahelski also gave an update on the fifth “John Wick” movie.

“That’s a good question,” he said when I asked about a possible shooting start date. “Still working on it. It’s all about time for us. When everything feels right and we’ve really seen the movie in our heads,...

After a delay of one year, the eagerly anticipated John Wick spin-off Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas in the titular role, is slated for a theatrical release on June 6, 2025, in the US and on June 13 in Indian theatres. The action thriller film has been directed by Len Wiseman and has already received a critics’ score of 78% on Rotten Tomatoes. If you’re interested in checking out or revisiting all John Wick films and the spin-off series The Continental, then we have got you covered. Here is where you can watch them on Ott platforms in India.

1. John Wick Release Year – 2014 Director – Chad Stahelski IMDb Rating – 7.5/10 Streaming On – Lionsgate Play & Amazon Prime Video (Rent)

Plot: This high-octane action thriller follows legendary former hitman John Wick (played by Keanu Reeves), who has left the world of crime behind to live a peaceful life.

After being in the works for literally years, the world of "John Wick" is finally expanding with its first spin-off movie. Ana de Armas is entering this wild world of international assassins as Eve Macarro in "Ballerina," aka "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina." Taking place between the events of "John Wick: Chapter 3" and "Chapter 4" (which allows for Keanu Reeves to show up as Mr. Wick), this is a big step forward in terms of expanding the scope of this beloved action franchise.

Lionsgate, the studio behind the very successful "John Wick" series, has plans to expand this universe beyond Reeves and Wick in the future. The question is, will the studio tee up some of what's to come in "Ballerina" by including some sort of credits scene? It's a question that must be asked, as credits scenes have been all the rage in franchise filmmaking for nearly...

Netflix has lined up a heavyweight crime thriller for early 2026. The film, titled The Rip, features longtime collaborators Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in leading roles. They reunite once again under the banner of their artist-led production studio, Artists Equity. The gripping drama, directed by Joe Carnahan, is set in Miami.

It follows a group of police officers who stumble upon a hidden stash of cash during a routine raid. The movie’s logline reads, “Upon discovering millions in cash in a derelict stash house, trust among a team of Miami cops begins to fray. As outside forces learn about the size of the seizure, everything is called into question — including who they can rely on.”

Ben Affleck Leads The Film As A Miami Cop

Ben Affleck’s lead role in the film is confirmed, but specific details about...

Plot: Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas), an assassin who’s part of the notorious Ruska Roma, seeks vengeance on the network of killers who murdered her parents.

Review: Ballerina is one of the more satisfying franchise spin-offs in recent memory. In this era of IP, every studio is desperate to max out the potential sequels and spinoffs their key franchises can handle, and Lionsgate has a whole slew planned around the John Wick franchise. Yet, what makes Ballerina different is that this doesn’t feel like much of a derivative of the franchise, given that Keanu Reeves was coaxed back to reprise his role. While his contribution to the film is mainly limited to the last act, his involvement is far more than a cameo, with him having a legitimate supporting role, giving the movie a welcome sense of legitimacy.

The movie takes place between the third and fourth John Wick movies.

From star Catalina Sandino Moreno is completely in the dark about the show's mythology and story arcs. "Season 3 finished in such a way that it just opened up so many doors, and you don't know where the story is going to go," she tells Gold Derby.

"I have no idea where my character is going to go. I'm very curious. I've asked [creator] John [Griffin] and [producers] Jack [Bender] and Jeff [Pinkner]. I'm like, ‘Just give me a little,’ and they're like, 'Nope,'" she continues. "Well, we just have to wait and see what's going to happen. They're very secretive, as they usually are. Even in Season 4, they're not giving any crumbs."

The horror drama is set in a decaying old ghost town in middle America that appears to be under the control of an unknown malevolent force that traps anyone who arrives. The unwilling residents struggle to stay alive while plagued by...

Let’s rewind to 2021. In only ten minutes of screen-time, Ana de Armas, playing the supporting role of CIA agent Paloma in No Time To Die, stole the show, kicking Spectre ass alongside Daniel Craig in spectacular style. It was the first indicator that she was primed for action-hero greatness. And though roles in The Gray Man and Ghosted followed, it’s only now with Ballerina — a spin-off set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4 — that that early promise has come into full bloom. And not a moment too soon. For make no mistake: the John Wick franchise now has another force to be reckoned with.

Once again, vengeance is the name of the game. Mercifully, no dogs are harmed this time around. When her father is murdered, Eve Macarro (de Armas) is set on a bloody path; that path includes rigorous training in...

After making an impression with her brief action scene in No Time to Die, Ana De Armas can be seen wielding guns and kicking bad guy butt again in the upcoming John Wick spin-off Ballerina. While that movie attracted some eyebrow raises during its production with news of reshoots, the end product doesn’t look to be a total disaster as first reactions say that the action in it is a lot of fun and the plot (while underwhelming) isn’t completely disorienting. Our own Chris Bumbray teased, “Happy to say Ballerina is actually a solid addition to the John Wick franchise, and a good star vehicle for Ana de Armas, who is a born movie star.”

Ana de Armas is returning the praise to Tom Cruise.

At Tuesday night’s premiere of “Ballerina” at the TLC Chinese Theater in Hollywood, star de Armas said it is “unbelievable” that Cruise made the effort to publicly endorse the film. She also made sure to emphasize that his support of cinema does not begin and end with the “John Wick” spinoff.

“You know what, he supports every movie,” de Armas told Variety‘s Marc Malkin. “He really wants the industry and cinema to do well and [wants] people going to the theaters. We’re working together, so he got to see ‘Ballerina’ and he actually really liked it. He loved the ‘John Wicks.'”

She continued, “It is very special that someone like him is supporting [‘Ballerina’]. It is really special in general to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together.”

It has come to light in recent years that some of our recent crop of action movie stars have it in their contracts that they can’t be shown losing in a fight, and/or their character can’t take more hits in a fight scene than they deliver… which has always struck me as deeply strange, because the action heroes in the old days were often shown taking a beating. And their movies were better for it! Part of what makes Die Hard great is because John McClane isn’t invulnerable; in fact, he’s a bloody, wounded mess by the end of the movie. Sylvester Stallone was never afraid to have his characters get hurt. Riggs barely survived some of the Lethal Weapon movies. The list goes on, but the fact that the heroes of yesteryear took a beating made their movies more effective. And one filmmaker who...

On May 31, Netflix announced the official premiere date of this Ben Affleckand Matt Damon-starring crime thriller, and sadly, it’s not anytime soon. Titled The Rip, the film was originally scheduled to debut sometime this fall, but Digital Spy can confirm that it will now be released on January 16, 2026. The news was first shared at Tudum, where the streamer also debuted a sneak peek. Co-starring with the iconic duo in The Rip are Teyana Taylor, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Sasha Calle, Steven Yeun, Nésto Carbonell, Scott Adkins, Kyle Chandler and Lina Esco.

Written and directed by Joe Carnahan, The Rip centers on a team of Miami police officers who discover millions in cash in a derelict stash house. Upon discovering the money, trust among the cops begins to fray, and as outside forces learn about the size of the seizure, everything is called into question, including who they can rely on.

“The Rip” is a new police crime feature, written and directed by Joe Carnahan (“Narc”), starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as Miami cops, with Steven Yeun, Kyle Chandler, Sashe Calle, Néstor Carbonell Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins and Teyana Taylor, releasing January 16, 2026:

‘…‘The Rip’ came out of a deeply personal experience that my friend went through, both as a father and as head of tactical narcotics for the ‘Miami Dade’ police department,” said Carnahan.

‘It’s inspired in part by his life and then, by my enduring love for those classic 70’s cop thrillers that really valued the character and interpersonal relationships and became touchstones of that era — films like ‘Serpico’ and ‘Prince Of The City’ and more recently, Michael Mann’s ‘Heat’.”
