It’s been over a year since the first images of Nuremberg were released, and now the political thriller starring Russell Crowe, Rami Malek, and Michael Shannon just got another exciting look. Sony Pictures has announced its acquisition of Nuremberg and also released another image from the film, which can be found below. The studio has also confirmed plans to release Nuremberg in theaters nationwide on November 7 later this year. The film was written and directed by James Vanderbilt, who is best known for his work as a scribe on Andrew Garfield’s Amazing Spider-Man movies and for working on the Scream horror franchise.

2025 is quietly shaping up to be the Year of the Skarsgård. Coming off the science fiction blockbuster hit "Dune: Part Two" from last year, patriarch Stellan Skarsgård has once again helped elevate genre content with a stunning dramatic turn in the "Star Wars" prequel series "Andor" on Disney+. Meanwhile, Bill Skarsgård has returned to the world of Stephen King and Pennywise the Clown, reprising the role that made him a household name in the HBO series "It: Welcome to Derry." But perhaps most significant of all is the latest endeavor of Alexander Skarsgård, an arguably underrated member of the acting dynasty currently leading "Murderbot," one of the buzziest shows of Apple TV+ triumphant 2025 run.

It's possible Alexander doesn't get as much attention because his most high-profile swing at a blockbuster turned out to be a major box office bomb. There...

Zombies have been a thing in cinema for nearly a century now, and since then, we have seen countless films that employ the flesh-eating monsters to tell various kinds of stories. In this sub-genre, we have seen many high and low budget films from the incredibly popular World War Z to the brilliant 28 Days Later, and while these films are every bit worthy of the praise they get, there are some films that get nearly no praise, as the masses still haven’t heard about them. To rectify that, we have compiled a list of the best and most entertaining zombie films that you might not have heard of.

A new group of strangers are ready to heal.

Hulu released the official trailer for season two of the Nicole Kidman fronted series Nine Perfect Strangers. Kidman reprises her role as mysterious guru Masha Dmitrichenko as she welcomes guests to a transformational wellness retreat in the Austrian Alps. However, as she attempts to heal everyone, they’re taken to the brink, begging the question: Will they and she survive it all?

The second season also stars Henry Golding, Lena Olin, Annie Murphy, Christine Baranski, Lucas Englander, King Princess, Murray Bartlett, Dolly de Leon, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Mark Strong and Aras Aydin.

The Hulu series finds a home in a snowy location for the second round, a departure from the Tranquillum House in California Masha once resided in. Just as in the first season, the nine strangers joining Masha undergo psychedelic therapy to heal their respective traumas but not without some initial hesitations.

Does Nicole Kidman do too much TV? Is there even a thing as too much Nicole Kidman? No, there really is not.

The Scream 7family gets bigger with some returning figures that will rekindle the flame that Wes Craven created almost 30 years ago. Marco Beltrami, the composer behind the music of the first four Scream films, has revealed that he will do Scream 7. The music veteran behind major works like A Quiet Place and Logan confirmed this on social media, and suddenly, Scream 7 just got a bit more exciting.

At first, Beltrami wasn't announced as the official composer of Scream 7. Nevertheless, a few weeks ago, a fan pleaded for him to do Scream 7 by commenting on a 2023 post on Instagram. "Please do Scream 7!" said the comment, to which Beltrami replied by saying, "Don't worry, I am." This marks Beltrami's return to the horror franchise after he wrote the score for the first Scream films, all directed by Wes Craven. In Scream (2022), Beltrami was replaced by Brian Tyler,...

The casts of James Gunn's Superman and Zack Snyder's Man of Steel are about to collide. Michael Shannon, who memorably played Zod in the 2013 superhero movie as well as The Flash, has joined the cast of Skydance Sports' upcoming biopic about Mr. Irrelevant, a.k.a. John Tuggle.

Per Deadline, Shannon will play iconic coach Bill Parcells in the untitled football drama about former NFL player John Tuggle, who was given the title "Mr. Irrelevant" after being the last pick of the last round of the 1983 NFL Draft. Superman lead David Corenswet was previously cast to play Tuggle back in October 2024, with 1883 star Isabel May joining the movie last month in an undisclosed role.

Reacher creator Nick Santora penned the screenplay for the upcoming biopic, which is set to be directed by Jonathan Levine, whose directorial credits include zombie rom-com Warm Bodies and the Seth Rogen-led comedies 50/50,...

Clark Kent and General Zod are together again, for the first time. Intense thespian Michael Shannon, who played the Kryptonian villain in Man of Steel, is teaming up with newly minted Superman David Corenswet for a new movie chronicling the tragically short life of a lesser-known sports hero. Corenswet will play running back John Tuggle, while Shannon will portray legendary coach Bill Parcells in the as-yet untitled film.

Tuggle, a running back who helped Uc Berkeley reach their first bowl game in twenty years, was drafted last overall in the 1983 NFL Draft, 335th overall in the 12th round, by the New York Giants. The last player selected in the draft is traditionally known as "Mr. Irrelevant": other players with that tag include Super Bowl champ Ryan Succop and current San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Tuggle made the team out of training camp, becoming the first Mr. Irrelevant to...

Huddle up, friends! Oscar-nominated actor Michael Shannon is taking the field to play coach Bill Parcells in Skydance’s untitled sports drama about former player John Tuggle, better known as Mr. Irrelevant, after being picked last in the final round of the 1983 NFL Draft. Interestingly, the casting has a superhero connection with Superman actor David Corenswet playing Tuggle. Henry Cavill’s Superman famously snapped General Zod’s neck in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, with Shannon as the benevolent space villain.

Jonathan Levine directs the untitled film from a script by Nick Santora with Isabel May co-starring alongside Shannon and Corenswet.

Levine’s film aims to score a touchdown with audiences by telling the moving and heartfelt story of John Tuggle, drafted by the New York Giants and who profoundly impacted the team. Parcells, the Hall of Fame coach, oversaw the team during Tuggle’s inspiring position. Many consider...

The film will be produced by Skydance Sports, with Levine producing with Gillian Bohrer from Megamix along with Santora from his Blackjack Films banner. It will tell the inspiring and heartfelt true story of Tuggle, drafted by the New York Giants, and his enduring impact on his team and teammates. Parcells was the Hall of Fame coach of the Giants at this time. He’s considered one of the greatest coaches of his era, winning two Super Bowls with the Giants,...

Exclusive: The next novel from Warm Bodies author Isaac Marion is to be adapted into a feature film.

Rights to Marion’s upcoming book The Overnoise has been snapped up by Nine Perfect Strangers maker Made Up Stories, whose bosses Bruna Papandrea and Steve Hutensky will produce alongside Jeanne Snow and Claudia Park.

Per the synopsis, “The Overnoise follows aspiring musician Robin Conway, who simply wants to complete her new album and maintain her record deal. Everything changes with the launch of ‘Infinite Connection’ – a revolutionary global wireless service promising seamless connectivity worldwide. However, the technology brings an unexpected and disturbing consequence: a persistent dissonant hum known as the ‘overnoise.'”

This is the second collab between Isaac and Papandrea, following the feature film adaptation of Warm Bodies, the New York Times bestseller, in 2013. The zombie comedy-romance, directed by Jonathan Levine, starred Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Rob Corddry, Dave Franco and John Malkovich among others.

Just months after Alexa & Katie's first season was released, the actress joined Young Sheldon as Veronica Duncan,...

Exclusive: Following her breakout role in the Paramount+ series 1883, Isabel May is going from the frontier to a football stadium as she is in negotiations to join David Corenswet in the Skydance Sports football drama Mr. Irrelevant. The movie is about John Tuggle, who was given the title after being the last pick of the last round of the 1983 NFL draft.

Jonathan Levine is directing, with Emmy-nominated writer Nick Santora is penning the script.

Mr. Irrelevant will be produced by Skydance Sports, with Levine producing with Gillian Bohrer from Megamix along with Santora from his Blackjack Films banner. The film will tell the inspiring and heartfelt true story of Tuggle, drafted by the New York Giants, and his enduring impact on his team and teammates.

Prime Video has decided to cancel The Sticky, a heist comedy series that premiered on the streaming platform back in December with six episodes. The reason behind this decision hasn’t officially been stated, but per Deadline, it is likely due to a kind of viewership that wasn’t strong enough to warrant a renewal. This cancelation is surprising, considering The Sticky has an 80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and received good reviews from both critics and audiences.

The series follows the story of Ruth Landry, a maple syrup farmer in Canada, who teams up with a mobster and a security guard to exact revenge on the authorities who threaten to take away her land. The official synopsis reads:

“The Sticky follows Ruth Landry, a tough, middle-aged maple syrup farmer who turns to crime when the bureaucratic authorities threaten to take away everything she loves. She teams up with the hot-tempered Bostonian mobster,...

Exclusive: Prime Video has opted not to renew The Sticky for a second season. The news comes more than two months after the six-episode first season of the Canadian comedy, starring Margo Martindale, Chris Diamantopoulos and Guillaume Cyr and guest starring Jamie Lee Curts, was released on Dec. 6.

Like another recently canceled Prime Video freshman comedy series, The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh, The Sticky could not break through and draw wide enough audience despite solid reviews (80% on Rotten Tomatoes). Comedies take longer than dramas to, um, stick, which could explain why streamers are doing fewer half-hour shows and why those shows have a generally higher cancellation rate after a single season.

The Sticky, produced by Blumhouse Television, Curtis’ Comet Pictures, Jonathan Levine’s Megamix and Sphere Media, was inspired by a real-life heist that made global headlines in 2012, which saw more than $18 million worth of maple syrup stolen from Quebec’s national reserves.

From showrunners Brian Donovan and Ed Herro, The Sticky combines moments of culture-clash hilarity, edge-of-the-seat excitement and heartbreaking drama. All six episodes premiere on December 6 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.

The Sticky follows Ruth Landry (three-time Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale), a tough, middle-aged maple syrup farmer who turns to crime when the bureaucratic authorities threaten to take away everything she loves. She teams up with the hot-tempered Bostonian mobster (Chris Diamantopoulos), and a mild-mannered French-Canadian security guard (Guillaume Cyr) to carry out a multi-million-dollar heist on Quebec’s maple syrup surplus.
