2025 has been one of the weaker years for the film industry as high-budget films like Captain America: Brave New World and Snow White have failed at both impressing the audience and at the box office. While there have been many disappointments this year, it does not mean that there have been no good movies released this year, and to prove that, we have compiled a list of the best movies that have come out in 2025 so far.

Pierce Brosnan’s 21-year-old action-comedy After the Sunset has emerged on Netflix’s Top 10 list in the US amid the recent buzz surrounding the James Bond franchise. Speaking of Bond, names like Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson have been suggested for the upcoming Bond film. (via British GQ)

Nonetheless, the classic Brosnan flick has been climbing the Netflix charts for a week. With his upcoming movie, The Thursday Murder Club, premiering on Netflix in August, it’s safe to say that Pierce Brosnan fans will be seeing a lot more of him.

Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond Exit Led to After the Sunset

Pierce Brosnan is arguably best known for playing the titular British spy in the James Bond franchise, which is currently looking to cast its next leading man. Brosnan last played the role in 2002’s Die Another Day, directed by Lee Tamahori.

Amazon’s highly anticipated James Bond reboot is coming together very nicely so far. Much more nicely than many expected following the studio and streamer’s takeover of the iconic action franchise. With Dune director Denis Villeneuve now at the helm alongside Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight writing the script, fans are still awaiting the news regarding who will play the next 007. Well, the coveted role just got a superheroic new contender...

The current favorites for the role of James Bond continue to be the likes of 28 Years Later’s Aaron Taylor-Johnson, The Gentlemen’s Theo James, and former Superman Henry Cavill, with rumors claiming that the likes of Spider-Man star Tom Holland, Euphoria and Frankenstein star Jacob Elordi, and Babygirl and The King's Man’s Harris Dickinson are Amazon’s top three choices. However, it’s likely that who will play the role is still very much up in the air,...

The Institute star Ben Barnes has finally spoken about the fan casting that’s followed him for over a decade, and HBO needs to start taking notes. For years Harry Potter fans have imagined Barnes as the perfect Sirius Black in countless edits, and dream casts. And now, the Narnia star has actually addressed the hype, while speaking at the Tampa Bay Comic Convention with Collider.

I found it very weird for a lot of years, because I didn’t really understand what was happening. People would sort of ask me to sign things or—and I was like, “You know what? I was in Narnia.” So for a lot of years, I found it confusing.

And then I went through a phase of being like, “Wait, I’ve been—people have sort of imagined me in this sort of old universe thing for like, 15 plus, 20 years now.” And it’s that kind of,...

28 Years Later, Danny Boyle’s long-awaited return to the infected-ravaged world, has quickly taken over digital charts less than a week after its release on July 29. The sequel follows the original 2002 hit 28 Days Later and its 2007 follow-up 28 Weeks Later, pushing the story forward nearly three decades after the Rage Virus turned the world upside down.

28 Years Later Dominates Digital Movie Charts

The movie, now sitting at #1 in Canada (per Flixpatrol) and in the US, is already beating out major 2025 releases. Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch remake and Marvel’s Thunderbolts trail behind, while Materialists, led by Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson, takes the fourth spot.

In an unexpected twist, Adam Sandler’s classic Happy Gilmore is back in the top five,...

Tom Holland is back in action, literally, leaping, swinging, and smiling through chaos in the first leaked footage from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Filming just kicked off on August 1 in Glasgow, Scotland, and already, the internet’s spider-sense is tingling.

Caught in the middle of a high-octane sequence atop an armored truck, Holland’s Spider-Man sports a fresh yet familiar suit that echoes the classic red-and-blue look from the comics, with raised webbing, a new spider emblem, and wrist-mounted web-shooters. The footage shows him performing stunts both masked and unmasked, waving to fans between takes and, in one very human moment, readjusting his Spidey suit post-wedgie.

His Spidey senses may be tingling but is he ready to hop into the Aston Martin? Tom Holland is just one of many names that has circled the role of James Bond, but he’s nowhere near ready to discuss any sort of possibility.

Tom Holland recently appeared on one of Gordon Ramsay’s programs, where the host couldn’t help but note that his own middle name was James, asking his guest, “Ever thought about using the word James for future movies going forward?” To which Holland coyly replied, “Listen, there’s speculation at the minute. We’ll keep it to a minimum for now. We’ll get there one day.”

But Gordon Ramsay pushed a bit more, asking Tom Holland if he could imagine what would happen to his life and career if he were to take over the role of James Bond from Daniel Craig. ”I mean,...

Lily-Rose Depp and 070 Shake are still going strong!

The 26-year-old The Idol actress and the 28-year-old musician, whose real name is Danielle Balbuena, stepped out for a romantic dinner date on Wednesday evening (July 30) at E Baldi in Beverly Hills, Calif.

For their outing, Lily-Rose wore a black top and jeans while 070 Shake wore a blue sweater and striped pants.

As they waited to pick up their car from the valet, the couple was spotted hugging and kissing.

If you didn’t know, Lily-Rose went public with her relationship with 070 Shake back in May 2023, revealing that they had been together for four months at that point. In an interview from last year, Lily-Rose shared some rare insight into their relationship.

It was recently reported that Lily-Rose will be reuniting with Nosferatu co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson and director Robert Eggers on the upcoming film Werwulf! Find out more here.

James Bond is one of the most recognizable characters of all time, and many great actors have left their mark after playing him. Following Daniel Craig's run as Bond in several films, everyone is looking forward to finding out who the next star is.

Many British actors have been fancasted in the role, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Taron Egerton, and more. Among the casting rumors is Spider-Man's Tom Holland, who has experience in the action genre beyond his role as the superhero character. In a new interview on Gordon Ramsey's Scrambled, Holland finally addressed the rumors.

The interview, meant to promote Holland's alcohol-free beer brand Bero, has the actor join famous chef Gordon Ramsey on a cooking experience, which led to many interesting topics. One of them was James Bond. Around the 9:40 mark, the famous chef asked Holland whether he ever considered playing a character...

While plans for Bond 26 are quickly gaining pace, Spider-Man star Tom Holland has responded to rumors that he is in contention for the hotly contested role. Set to be directed by Dune’s Denis Villeneuve, news only recently broke that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight had been tapped to write the next entry in the long-running spy franchise.

However, before Knight’s recent appointment as the Bond 26 screenwriter, reports intimated that Amazon MGM studios were potentially looking to cast an actor under 30 years of age as the next 007, and had named Holland, Saltburn’s Jacob Elordi, and Babygirl’s Harris Dickinson at the top of their James Bond shortlist.

During an appearance on chef Gordon Ramsay’s YouTube channel, Holland sought to downplay rumors of his inclusion on the 007 casting shortlist. Suggesting that they should keep the speculation to a minimum, Holland hinted that the actual answer...

Tom Holland is weighing in on the speculation that he could potentially nab the next 007 role.

While it’s not yet been announced who the new James Bond will be in Amazon MGM Studios’ future film, which will be directed by Denis Villeneuve (the Dune films) and written by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders), there are several actors who’ve been rumored as possibilities to play the secret agent — one of which is Holland.

When speaking recently with Gordon Ramsay, the Spider-Man star was asked about the Bond rumors. “Listen, there’s speculation at the moment. We’ll keep it to a minimum for now. We’ll get there one day,” he responded with a smile.

The chef then took a moment to seriously ask Holland, “Can you imagine what’s going to happen to your life if you do? First of all, you’d love that opportunity, right?”

This year marked the release of 28 Years Later and the reunion of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. While the film has been divisive, there’s no denying the gorgeous visuals constructed by Boyle and his director of photography Anthony Dod Mantle. Plus, it was all accomplished on iPhones, which is an incredible feat itself. In honor of the film’s entertainment release, we have an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip of how the team crafted the bold look of 28 Years Later.

“It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland,...

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is confirmed as the writer for the forthcoming James Bond film, which will be directed by Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, and it sounds like he has big plans for Amazon's takeover of the 007 franchise. News of Knight's involvement with the reboot only broke one day ago, but he has wasted no time in sharing his love for the iconic British spy series and what he hopes to bring to the table when it comes to the top-secret project — other than a martini... of course.

Knight recently received praise for his latest series, the British historical drama A Thousand Blows on Disney+ and Hulu, but his next undertaking is even more high-profile. He told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast on Friday, Aug. 1, that being involved in a 007 film had always been on his "bucket list," as he expressed his commitment to helping usher in...

A day after the news broke that he had been tapped by Amazon to write the next James Bond film, “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight has told fans that he can’t wait to get started on the British spy franchise’s latest installment saying it will hopefully be a bolder take on 007.

Knight opened up about his new, high-profile gig in a Friday interview with the BBC’s Radio 5 Live Breakfast. “It has always been on my bucket list and it’s fantastic to be invited to do it,” Knight said. “I can’t wait to get started.” The screenwriter, whose past credits outside of “Peaky Blinders” include 2021’s “Spencer,” 2013’s “Locke” and 2007’s “Eastern Promises,” went on to confirm that he is, indeed, a fan of the Bond franchise.

In fact, he hopes that his affection for 007’s past big-screen adventures will help him create one...

Excitement continues to build around Bond 26, the first James Bond film in the franchise, following Amazon's purchase of MGM in 2022. Previously, it was announced that Dune’s Denis Villeneuve would oversee the project, with David Heyman and Amy Pascal producing. Recently, it was revealed that Steven Knight will be writing James Bond 26.

Speaking on BBC Radio, Steven Knight addressed the recent announcement, expressing his enthusiasm for the James Bond franchise. Knight said, “It has always been on my bucket list,” as he has been a big fan of the films for many years. He also shared his vision for the new movie, teasing Bond 26’s story direction. Check out Knight’s statement below:

It has always been on my bucket list and it's fantastic to be invited to do it - I can't wait to get started. I'm hoping that, being a Bond fan for so many years,...

Denis Villeneuve’s James Bond movie has found its writer in Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight. Some more details below.

Update: Steven Knight went on BBC radio to chat about the news of his Bond writing duties.

“It has always been on my bucket list, and it’s fantastic to be invited to do it. I can’t wait to get started,” Knight told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast.

Knight also explained he had been offered the job a while ago, but the news were only made public last night. Like director Denis Villeneuve, Knight is a big Bond fan and this is clearly a dream job for both men.

“I’m hoping that, being a Bond fan for so many years, it will be imbued into me and I will be able to produce something that’s the same but different, and better, stronger and bolder,” Knight promises.

We’re certainly up for that.

Tom Holland has finally spoken about the rumors linking him to the role of James Bond. And while he hasn’t confirmed it, he’s not exactly saying no either.

For years, news about the next Bond movie, often called Bond 26, has been slow. But this year, a lot has changed. Longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have stepped aside. Amazon now has full creative control of the franchise. The new film will be produced by David Heyman and Amy Pascal. Pascal has worked with Holland before on the Spider-Man movies and also produced Casino Royale.

The next Bond film will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, the filmmaker behind Dune and Prisoners. Steven Knight, who created Peaky Blinders, is writing the script.

Holland’s name showed up on a rumored “wishlist” of possible new Bonds. In a recent YouTube cooking video with Gordon Ramsay, the chef teased...

Will Tom Holland be the next James Bond? The Spider-Man star has finally spoken about the rumors, and while he didn’t confirm anything, he didn’t exactly shut it down either.

Bond 26 has been in the works for years, but only recently have things started moving again. Earlier this year, longtime Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson stepped away from the creative side.

Now Amazon is in full control, with David Heyman and Amy Pascal producing. Pascal, of course, has worked with Holland before on the Spider-Man movies, and she also produced Casino Royale. Denis Villeneuve, known for Dune and Prisoners, will direct the new film, while Steven Knight from Peaky Blinders is writing the script.

When the subject of the new Bond came up, Holland’s name was reportedly on a “wishlist” of possible actors. He was asked about it during a cooking video with Gordon Ramsay on YouTube.

James Bond Franchise Taps Top Talent For Next 007 Film(Photo Credit –Facebook)

It looks like the next installment in the highly anticipated James Bond franchise is heading in an exciting new direction. Previously, it was reported that Dune helmer Denis Villeneuve had been enlisted to direct the upcoming 007 venture. And now, another creative powerhouse has joined the high-profile project.

According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, British filmmaker and creator of BBC’s cult period crime drama Peaky Blinders – Steven Knight, has been tapped to write the screenplay for the 26th James Bond movie for Amazon MGM Studios. The official James Bond handle on X (formerly Twitter) has also confirmed the news.

Steven Knight’s Filmography Beyond Peaky Blinders

In addition to Peaky Blinders, the 65-year-old screenwriter...

The next James Bond film has found its writer. Variety reports that Steven Knight, the man behind Peaky Blinders, will pen the script for the upcoming 007 adventure. The movie will be directed by Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve and produced by Amy Pascal and David Heyman for Amazon MGM Studios.

Knight is best known for creating the hit Birmingham gangster drama, but he’s also written films like Dirty Pretty Things, Eastern Promises, and Locke. His latest produced screenplay was Maria, the biopic about opera singer Maria Callas starring Angelina Jolie and directed by Pablo Larraín.

This will be the first Bond movie made under Amazon MGM’s full creative control after the company struck a deal with long-time Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. A release date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the film isn’t expected until 2028.

The big question still hanging over the project is who will play 007.

Amazon MGM Studios has officially taken the baton from the former MGM Studios, greenlighting the next chapter in the James Bond franchise. With Steven Knight tapped as screenwriter, the next film will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, as Deadline reports.

With Amy Pascal and David Heyman as producers and Tanya Lapointe serving as executive producer, the announcement comes after Amazon acquired full creative control of the franchise back in February, in a deal with Bond fame producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Slated as a high-profile return following Daniel Craig’s No Time to Die, the project launches Amazon’s bold new push into blockbuster territory.

The next era of James Bondhas officially arrived, as the upcoming 007 reboot has finally hired a writer to work out a screenplay. With Dune director Denis Villeneuve on board to helm the film, it was only a matter of time before Amazon found the perfect scribe to introduce a new Bond. Fans are going to love who ultimately landed the coveted job.

Deadline reports that Amazon has hired Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight to write the screenplay for James Bond 26. The British screenwriter met with Villeneuve at some point in the last week, giving the hire the final seal of approval. The report adds that the search for who will play the next Bond has not been a priority in the past few weeks, as hiring a screenwriter was a top goal for Amazon and producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman. With a writer and director officially attached to usher in a new Bond,...

28 Days Later director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland finally reunited to make a sequel to their zombie movie classic. 28 Years Later, which is meant to launch a whole trilogy of 28 Days Later sequels, reached theatres at the end of June – and as we reported earlier this week, it has now received a Premium VOD release! It’s available to rent on Amazon for $19.99, or it can be purchased for the price of $24.99. To mark the occasion, we’ve been provided with an Exclusive featurette clip that focuses on the character played by Ralph Fiennes (Conclave), and you can check that out in the embed above.

JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray gave 28 Years Later a 7/10 review, and when we got a second opinion from Kier Gomes, he gave it a 6.5.

Who will play the next James Bond in Amazon’s upcoming reboot remains one of the most pressing questions in movies right now. And, while the project has taken a major step forward after appointing Dune’s Denis Villeneuve as director, we still don’t know who will don the iconic tux and take over from Daniel Craig as 007. Well, a new favorite has now emerged...and he’d be fantastic.

While the likes of 28 Years Later star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, The Gentlemen’s Theo James, and Man of Steel star Henry Cavill continue to find themselves as top choices, Fantastic Beasts actor Callum Turner has seen his odds vastly improve, according to William Hill. The actor, who is also best recognized for the likes of The Boys in the Boat and Masters of the Air, now boasts odds of 7/2, and could be the actor chosen to lead the iconic action franchise.

If you were unable to catch 28 Years Later in theaters, then there’s nothing to worry about because the acclaimed zombie film has now landed on digital platforms. Read on to find out where you can watch it online.

Where To Watch 28 Years Later Online

As of now,...

Henry Cavill would like to turn Red Dead Redemption 2 into a movie and star in it! Yes, we know it’s old news, but when the actor expressed his interest in a live-action adaptation of Rockstar Games’ epic western during a red carpet interview, fans couldn’t be more thrilled (via Game Reactor).

RDR2 was released in 2018, and due to its rich open-world play, along with the story of Arthur Morgan, it is still cited as one of the best video games ever made! Bringing this masterpiece to the screen is no easy feat, but with Cavill’s name attached to it, alongside James Mangold, and the right creative team, it could easily become one of the most successful adaptations ever made.

So, let’s saddle up and take a look at what this dream project could look like.

One of this year’s biggest horror hits, 28 Years Later, is finally available to watch at home. Sony confirmed that the movie hit digital platforms on July 29. If you missed it in theaters, now’s your chance to see what all the buzz was about.

Directed by Danny Boyle, 28 Years Later continues the story that began with 28 Days Later back in 2002. The original movie helped redefine zombie horror, and this third entry brings the same energy, but with a darker and more emotional tone.

This one jumps decades ahead, showing what life looks like long after the rage virus first broke out. The story centers on a group of survivors trying to make it on a remote island while the rest of the world still suffers.

Boyle returned to direct, and he brought along a strong cast including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and newcomer Alfie Williams.

If you missed 28 Years Later in theaters, you’re in luck. The third movie in the 28 Days Later franchise is now officially available on digital, as announced by Sony. You can rent or buy it starting July 29, and if you’re a fan of horror, this is one you won’t want to skip.

The film is directed by Danny Boyle, who also made the original back in 2002. This time, the story takes place decades after the first rage virus outbreak.

Survivors now live on a remote island, still trying to deal with the fallout of everything that’s happened. The cast includes Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and newcomer Alfie Williams in his first movie role.

The movie has been well received. It holds an 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes and got positive reviews from critics.

Along with the digital release, fans can also look forward to...

Danny Boyle is back pushing cinematic boundaries — and this time, he’s doing it with an iPhone. In an exclusive behind-the-scenes sneak peek from 28 Years Later, which becomes available to buy or rent on the Apple TV app today, Boyle breaks down how his team utilized the iPhone to film select scenes of the highly anticipated follow-up to his genre-defining zombie classic. The footage shows the Oscar-winning director experimenting with a custom 20-camera rig built around the iPhone, which allowed his crew to move with lightning speed and a level of agility not always possible with traditional camera systems. And watching the movie, you'd be staggered to think he's making this epic movie from the thing you keep in your pocket to play Candy Crush.

Boyle explains in the clip that the small form factor and powerful performance of the iPhone made it possible to shoot in more immersive, diverse...

Pilou Asbæk, best known for his unforgettable turn as the villainous Euron Greyjoy in Game of Thrones and his current role in Apple TV+’s Foundation, is stepping into yet another high-profile project. The Danish actor has reportedly joined the cast of Blood on Snow, the upcoming crime thriller directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and based on the bestselling novel by Jo Nesbø. Nesbø also co-wrote the film's script with Ben Power.

Asbæk is the latest addition to a powerhouse ensemble that already includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Eva Green, Emma Laird, and Ben Mendelsohn. Tom Hardy was initially on board the film but had to step away due to scheduling conflicts, leading to Cumberbatch stepping in to fill the role. While it would've been great to see Hardy take on this new project, Cumberbatch’s casting has only heightened anticipation for this movie.

Described as an indie film adaptation...

Who knew that one the best and most memorable movies of the year would be utterly unlike anything we expected it to be? "28 Years Later" (which we reviewed here) had all the makings of becoming merely the latest standard zombie movie, releasing at a time when nothing new could possibly be done with this post-apocalyptic genre. May we never doubt the dream team of director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland again, who joined forces once again to recreate the magic of the original "28 Days Later" over two decades after the fact. Instead of a hacky and superficial legacy sequel, we were given a soulful and meditative coming-of-age story about accepting the inevitability -- and even the beauty -- of death.

After enjoying an immensely successful run at the box office, "28 Years Later" is now set for its highly-anticipated release on home media. Viewers will be pleased to...

Prime time horror movie season has not even really started yet, but several films have already impressed critics and audiences. While the year started out slowly with a miss from Blumhouse with Wolf Man, things picked up with the releases of Companion and The Monkey.

The spring time was an even better spot for horror with the release of Ryan Coogler's Sinners. The highly original horror film made $365.8 million worldwide, and got great reviews from critics. The film is even in early talks to get Oscar nominations, which is a rare feat for a horror film.

Sinners was a big win, and then franchise horror had a big moment with Final Destination: Bloodlines. The film made $285.3 million and was touted as one of the best in the series.

It has not been all wins for the horror franchise this year, however. Blumhouse delivered another major disappointment with M3GAN 2.0,...

Danny Boyle’s box office hit 28 Years Later is now available on Digital at home, and we’d like to whet your appetite with the first five minutes of the infection sequel this morning.

The infection makes its way to the Scottish Highlands in the chaotic opening sequence of 28 Years Later, introducing a boy named Jimmy and documenting his harrowing experience with both his mother and his father succumbing to the rage virus. If you’ve seen the movie, well, you know that the adult Jimmy is set to be a main character in next year’s sequel to 28 Years Later.

But in the opening sequence of 28 Years Later, he’s just an innocent child whose world is rocked by intense violence. Exclusively watch the opening of Danny Boyle’s sequel below.

Jodie Comer (The Bikeriders), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (The Fall Guy), and Alfie Williams (His Dark Materials) star in 28 Years Later alongside Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) and Erin Kellyman (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier). Plot details were being kept under wraps for a while, but when 28 Years Later came up during an interview with IndieWire, Fiennes decided...

Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later is finally getting its digital release on July 29, 2025. That means fans will now get to watch the thriller from home without heading to the theaters. Released in cinemas on June 20, this terrifying new chapter in Boyle’s zombie saga is now just a click away on digital and PVOD platforms.

The film is the third part of the popular franchise that began with 28 Days Later in 2002 and continued with 28 Weeks Later in 2007. After nearly two decades, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland returned to bring the story back to life. And they’re not stopping here. This is just the beginning of a brand-new trilogy, with the next film, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, already set to hit theaters in January 2026.

Now, while fans are excited to rent or buy the digital version, many are wondering when 28 Years Later arrives on Netflix.

This Golden Globe Winner Won’t Be The Next James Bond

According to a recent report by Collider, the Golden Globe-winning actor Taron Egerton hinted that he won’t be playing the lead role in the next James Bond movie. About the prospects of him starring as 007, the Welsh actor candidly confessed,...

Director Cary Joji Fukunaga’s Blood on Snow is heating up with its latest cast addition.

Pilou Asbæk, known for his work on Game of Thrones and Foundation, will co-star in the indie film adaptation of author Jo Nesbo’s 2015 crime thriller, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. Previously announced castmembers include Benedict Cumberbatch, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Eva Green, Emma Laird and Ben Mendelsohn.

Blood on Snow centers on hit man Olav (Taylor-Johnson), who falls in love with his mob boss’ wife after being hired to kill her. Production on the film began earlier this year in Latvia.

Details of Asbæk’s role have not yet been revealed. THR previously reported that Cumberbatch stepped in to replace Tom Hardy, who was set to star and produce before exiting due to a scheduling conflict.

“Being part of Blood on Snow has been an incredible experience,” says Asbæk. “The team, cast and crew are exceptional,...

In its sixth weekend of release, Sony's28 Years Laterpassed a trio of box office milestones as it prepares for a second coming on home video. The horror movie debuted to excellent critical response, but audiences were noticeably more divided on its meditative themes and child-led narrative. 28 Years Later serves as a legacy sequel to the original 28 Days Later, which took the world of genre cinema by storm over two decades ago. It was followed by a well-received sequel, titled 28 Weeks Later. Sony picked the new film up as a package, with director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland back in their original roles; wiser, more successful, and just as transgressive as ever.

This weekend, 28 Years Later passed the $70 million mark domestically and the $80 million mark in overseas territories, for a cumulative global haul of $150 million. This will likely be the final milestone that the movie passes,...

28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, marks the long-awaited return to one of the most iconic apocalyptic franchises in cinema history. Picking up the threads of a ravaged Britain nearly three decades after the original Rage Virus outbreak, the film serves up a brutal exploration of trauma, survival, fractured families, and the evolution of both the infected and the survivors left in their wake.

As with its predecessors, 28 Years Later is haunting not just for its relentless action and grotesque infected, but for the existential questions it raises about what’s left of humanity when civilization collapses. The ending is as provocative as ever – both chilling and ambiguous, leaving us with a final shot and theme that fans and critics have hotly debated.

In this article, we break down 28 Years Later in detail: a complete plot summary and a deep-dive into the...

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's long-awaited sequel 28 Years Later passed an important box office milestone in a relatively short timeframe, establishing it as easily the most successful movie in the franchise that began with 28 Days Later. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, and Alfie Williams,28 Years Later debuted with strong Rotten Tomatoes scores and a box office opening to match.

The action picks up nearly three decades after the initial outbreak of the Rage Virus, which has been eradicated from mainland Europe since the breakout observed at the end of 28 Weeks Later. Great Britain is still ravaged by the virus, which has evolved and mutated over the years to yield multiple iterations of the Infected.

Since its wide release on June 20th, 2025, 28 Years Later has continued to slowly pile up box office revenue. According to The Numbers, 28 Years Later passed the $150 million box office milestone at the global box office,...

28 Years Later Worldwide Box Office: Less Than $5M Away From Hitting A Significant Milestone( Photo Credit – Instagram )

28 Years Later has not lost at the box office amid the big tentpole movies. It has its target audience and is close to hitting its breakeven point, which is also the film’s next key milestone worldwide. Surviving amid such big releases is a huge feat in itself, and achieving milestones so long after the release is also commendable for this horror flick with a modest budget. Keep scrolling for more.

It is the standalone sequel to 28 Weeks Later and the third film in the 28 Days Later franchise. The Og director, Danny Boyle, and the film’s writer, Alex Garland, reunited for this third film. It registered the biggest opening weekend in the franchise, carrying forward the success legacy of the horror flicks this year after Sinners and Final Destination: Bloodlines.

After a successful theatrical debut, the much-anticipated horror sequel 28 Years Later—the latest chapter in Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s iconic “rage virus” saga—now prepares to invade digital streaming platforms. Featuring Cillian Murphy’s return (sadly only as a producer for this one) and a star-studded ensemble, the film blends apocalyptic scares with human drama, keeping the franchise’s reputation for tension and societal commentary alive.

What is 28 Years Later About?

Set nearly three decades after the outbreak that devastated the UK, 28 Years Later explores survival amid the continuing threat of the rage virus. The story centers on a small group of survivors living on a fortified island. Connected by a single, well-defended causeway, this community lives under constant threat—not just from the infected, but from other survivors whose motives may be just as deadly. When one group member ventures onto the mainland, the mission uncovers new horrors,...

The Daniel Craig-led 007 flick, Skyfall, is on cloud nine in the streaming world as James Bond heads in a new creative direction.

Wilson. Skyfall is charting well in the United Kingdom and Germany as it climbs the global charts.

Werewolves are popping off. While it was met with mixed reviews, there was a lot I liked about Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man (now streaming on Peacock) this year. Next year, we have Robert Eggers’ Werewulf to look forward to. With Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe, Werewulf is as much a werewolf movie as it is a Nosferatu reunion. Oh, and Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves, which was released last year, is worth a look, despite not quite getting the acclaim it deserved.

Werewolves, vampires, mummies – we are practically in the midst of a Universal renaissance. It’s a glorious time to be a horror fan, especially a horror fan raised on the movie monster classics. Better still, it’s always refreshing to see these classic tales refracted through a modern lens. One of the best to do so was a surprise Sundance hit that successfully managed a wide theatrical release.

Russell Crowe will always be famous for his enduring, Oscar-winning performance in Gladiator, but just last year, he featured alongside a Marvel veteran in a gripping crime thriller that’s become a streaming hit. Crowe stars alongside Karen Gillan in Sleeping Dogs, the mystery suspense film following an ex-homicide detective with memory loss who’s forced to solve a brutal murder. However, in the process of doing so, he uncovers some dark secrets about his past. Sleeping Dogs is currently streaming on Hulu in the United States and on Netflix globally, where it’s one of the most popular movies in Canada, Taiwan, and Hungary. The film earned a poor 42% from critics but a solid 81% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed only $2 million at the box office during an extremely limited theatrical run.

Sleeping Dogs is based on The Book of Mirrors by E.O. Chirovici, and not to...
