A new survival thriller called Eden is set to hit theaters this year, and it’s already gaining attention. Directed by Ron Howard and written by Noah Pink, the movie tells the true story of European settlers on Floreana Island, part of Ecuador’s Galápagos Islands. The film stars Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney, and Daniel Brühl, among others.

The story begins in 1929, when Dr. Friedrich Ritter and his wife Dora leave Germany, rejecting what they see as the shallow values of their society. They hope to find peace on Floreana Island. Friedrich wants to write his manifesto, and Dora tries to heal from multiple sclerosis through meditation. But their peaceful life is quickly interrupted.

Soon, Margret and Heinz Wittmer arrive. They are hardworking settlers who try to make a life on the island. Then comes Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn, a self-proclaimed Baroness.

She arrives with two lovers,...

Hulu’s movie lineup is buzzing with fresh releases and timeless classics that have us glued to our screens. This week’s most-watched films, all available now, range from heart-pounding thrillers to laugh-out-loud comedies, with a mix of new 2025 titles and older favorites.

We’re diving into a variety of genres, from action-packed adventures to sci-fi mysteries and sports comedies. Each movie brings something unique, whether it’s a star-studded cast, a gripping story, or pure nostalgic fun. Let’s break down the top 10 films capturing our attention on Hulu right now.

10. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) 20th Century Fox

This sports comedy follows a group of misfits, led by Vince Vaughn’s Peter Lafleur, as they enter a dodgeball tournament to save their gym from a corporate takeover. Ben Stiller’s over-the-top performance as the villainous White Goodman keeps us laughing. It’s a lighthearted, feel-good flick with quotable...

There’s no shortage of films depicting bleak, dystopian futures right now. Even those meant to make light of matters at hand, like M3GAN 2.0, are that much grimmer in their message of just giving in to the cold, dead eyes of AI. There was a time when these types of films felt like distant warnings, predictions that could still be prevented. These days, most feel like they’re right around the corner, and that has made this particular genre more unnerving than ever.

While it may seem masochistic to some to indulge in the dreariness, there’s a therapeutic relief in the way these types of films allow us to deal with issues head-on and process them in a safe space. Perhaps that’s why we always see a spike in the popularity of certain movies during moments of distress (such as Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion being brought back...

Michael Fassbender's highly anticipated Korean sci-fi thriller, Hope, has set a release window. The upcoming film is from the acclaimed South Korean director Na Hong-Jin, who has been credited with redefining Korean genre cinema with the action-thrillers The Chaser (2008) and The Yellow Sea (2010), and the horror movie The Wailing (2016). Now, Na's next film is described as a sci-fi action thriller.

The film features South Korean stars Hwang Jung-min (The Wailing), Zo In-sung, and Emmy nominee Hoyeon (Squid Game). Its international stars include two-time Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender, Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl), Taylor Russell (Bones and All), and Emmy nominee Cameron Britton (Mindhunter).

Korean director Na Hong-Jin (The Wailing) will make his much-anticipated return with Hope, and Variety reports that the sci-fi action thriller with an A-list ensemble is eyeing a 2026 release.

The cast includes Hwang Jung-min (The Wailing), Zo In-sung (Moving), Hoyeon (“Squid Game”), Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Taylor Russell (Bones and All), and Cameron Britton.

The ambitious thriller is set in “the remote village of Hope Harbor, near the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone (Dmz). When a tiger is suspected to have appeared and local police chief Bum-seok is alerted, it throws the community into chaos. But what begins as a local emergency soon spirals into a deeper, more terrifying mystery, one that forces the town’s residents to confront the unknown.

“Hwang will play Bum-seok, while Zo co-stars as Sung-ki, a headstrong local who tracks a dangerous creature into the forest.

The A-list cast of “Hope,” the hotly-anticipated follow-up from acclaimed South Korean director Na Hong-Jin after his 2016 box office smash hit “The Wailing,” have come together for a stylish studio shoot and unveiled release plans for the feature, which is now in post production.

Elizabeth Olsen‘s newest sci-fi thriller, The Assessment, has made its way to Hulu and is taking streaming audiences by surprise. The movie has a solid 83% Rotten Tomatoes review, and the viewership has seen a sharp rise since its release on Hulu.

It is a cerebral, sleek exploration of parenthood, emotional strain, and state control set in a dystopian future. It is an interesting, genre-bending take on how society could potentially control who is fit to become parents and who isn’t in the future.

The Sam Raimi-produced thriller Locked has finally found success via streaming. The English-language remake of Argentine hit 4x4 was little-seen when it originally arrived in theaters back in March.

Per FlixPatrol, Locked has become the #1 global streaming movie for Hulu subscribers, three months after it originally debuted on the subscription service. Locked's unexpected streaming success puts it ahead of Rami Malek's 2025 thriller The Amateur (#2), John Travolta's new heist movie High Rollers (#3), Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Olsen's science fiction hit The Assessment (#4) and Milla Jovovich's newest fantasy epic, In the Lost Lands ($5).

Despite only releasing less than a year ago, Nick Frost's folk horror/comedy Get Away has already fallen under many people's radars. Also starring the effortlessly funny Aisling Bea, Heartstopper’s Sebastian Croft, and young actress Maisie Ayres, Get Away opened to positive reviews and earned a strong, "certified fresh" 76% critics' score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

If you love Elizabeth Olsen playing a mother in the MCU, then this science fiction thriller will be right up your alley. First debuting at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival before entering theaters six months later, The Assessment received high praise from fans and critics alike. And now that it has made its way onto streaming services, the feature has captivated fans again as it appears on the streaming charts.

According to FlixPatrol, The Assessment ranked at #3 on Hulu's Top 10 Movies on July 25, 2025, worldwide, sitting between High Rollers and In the Lost Lands.

Becoming a part of the MCU gives actors a great shot at finding cinematic immortality, even if you've reportedly not been invited to appear in Avengers: Doomsday. So big is the franchise fanbase that donning the costume of one of the iconic Marvel superheroes can lead to many of your future projects gaining instant access to millions more viewers. For Elizabeth Olsen, best known for her portrayal of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in the MCU, this is seemingly the case, with her latest project, the dystopian sci-fi thriller The Assessment, becoming a huge streaming hit in America.

Also starring the brilliant Alicia Vikander and Himesh Patel, Olsen'sThe Assessment has made its way into the official top 10 most-streamed movies on Hulu in the U.S., as of July 21, 2025, per FlixPatrol. This sees the film join the likes of Denzel Washington and Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer 3, Nick Frost's folk horror/comedy Get Away,...

Though Elizabeth Olsen remains best known for playing the Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an underrated gem featuring the acclaimed actor has recently cast a spell over the streaming world. Olsen's slept-on sci-fi thriller, The Assessment, awakens subscribers on Hulu months after its release.

Per FlixPatrol, The Assessment is climbing Hulu's U.S. movie chart. The Olsen-led movie ranks third on the list, joining a podium that includes John Travolta's action thriller, High Rollers, and the Rami Malek-led action movie,The Amateur, which tops the chart.

Olsen appears in The Assessment alongside Academy Award-winning actor Alicia Vikander, EastEnders actor Himesh Patel and decorated acting veteran Minnie Driver. Fleur Fortuné directed the film in her feature-length debut. The Assessment debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) last September before being distributed across the U.S. in March by Magnolia Pictures and globally via Amazon MGM Studios.

Alberto Barbera presided over a lengthy press conference Tuesday morning, when he announced the stacked lineup for this year’s Venice Film Festival, which runs August 27-September 6.

The lineup is expansive, with big names and arthouse darlings sprinkled across the festival’s strands, even including the shorts program.

High-profile titles include Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, starring Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny. Roberts leads the cast as a college professor who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star student (Edebiri) levels an accusation against one of her colleagues (Garfield), and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come into the light. The film will screen Out of Competition on Guadagnino and Amazon MGM Studios’ request, Barbera explained during the presser.

Elsewhere, in Competition we have Jay Kelly, the latest film Noah Baumbach has made for Netflix. The...

Fluer Fortuné’s The Assessment (2024) serves as a compelling companion piece to Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men, with both films set in a near-future world where childbirth has become a rarity. Yet, amid this crisis, their characters cling to the fragile hope of new life. While Cuarón’s vision is rooted in a gritty, war-torn landscape populated by working-class struggles, Fortuné’s film shifts the lens to a more insular perspective—that of a privileged couple living in a secluded, state-sanctioned sanctuary.

Despite the serene setting, The Assessment delivers a sharp critique of societal control, personal autonomy, and the quiet tyranny of privilege. It unfolds as a thoughtful meditation on what it truly means to become a parent in a world governed by surveillance and sterile order. The film isn’t afraid to venture into philosophical territory, raising questions that linger long after the credits roll.

Ultimately, the story...

The Assessment movie ending has left audiences slack-jawed as its main characters make some pretty consequential decisions, which director Fleur Fortuné has described as "very important." The 2024 sci-fi thriller stars Elizabeth Olsen (who fans may know as Marvel Studios' Scarlet Witch) and Himesh Patel (Station Eleven) as prospective parents Mia and Aaryan living in a near future where natural childbirth is no longer legal thanks to increasing overpopulation, environmental deterioration, and a lack of resources. 

Instead of anyone being able to have kids whenever they want, society has implemented an assessment process that every couple must undergo. An assessor must come live with them to determine whether they are deemed worthy of becoming parents. In the case of Mia and Aaryan, they are assigned Virginia (played by former Tomb Raider actor Alicia Vikander). While Virginia's seven-day visit begins fairly innocuously, things quickly devolve into chaos, leading to The Assessment's gripping ending.

Elizabeth Olsen may not boast Oscar nominations or any Emmy wins, but she is one of the better actors of her generation. Her career has spanned both major mainstream content and smaller movies and TV shows.

On the more mainstream side of things, she is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), where she plays Scarlet Witch in WandaVision, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This is by far her best-known role to most people.

On the other hand, she is also a skilled actor in award-winning, high-caliber works such as the HBO TV miniseries Love & Death. She also played a main character in the notable 2011 indie film Martha Marcy May Marlene, and a main role in Wind River.

Now, Olsen is working on building up her career both in and outside the MCU. Earlier this year, she was in a sci-fi film...

Sometimes the initial cast of a production isn't the final cast. Sure, many have to go through auditions and are chosen based on that, previous performances, and occasionally, who they're connected to. However, things happen, and some actors or even members of the crew decide to exit. Think about how many times productions change showrunners and directors, or the various times you've heard an actor leaving, either due to schedule conflicts or creative differences. The latest news of departures stems from Michael B. Jordan's upcoming second remake of the classic 1968 heist thriller The Thomas Crown Affair.Deadline reported that Taylor Russell has decided to exit the project due to creative differences.

The actress was supposed to star opposite Jordan in the remake of the classic film starring Western actor Steve McQueen. In the role, Russell was an independent investigator contracted by a bank's insurance company to investigate a heist...

Exclusive: Taylor Russell has exited The Thomas Crown Affair, the Michael B. Jordan-directed reimagining of the classic Steve McQueen film. Sources said the exit was due to creative differences. The studio is recasting the role as production continues in London.

Russell was set opposite Jordan in the role of an insurance investigator who suspects that an adventurous banking executive is pulling off ambitious heists, and they develop sparks between them. That role was played by Faye Dunaway opposite McQueen in the 1968 original, and by Rene Russo opposite Pierce Brosnan in the 1999 version.

Russell will next be seen starring in the Korean thriller Hope by Na Hong-jin opposite Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander and Hoyeon. She can also be seen opposite David Johnson in the upcoming Frank Ocean film, and she’s in talks to star in a remake of Single White Female opposite Jenna Ortega for Sony and Elizabeth Gabler’s 3000 Pictures.

Bones and All star Taylor Russell has exited Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming remake of The Thomas Crown Affair. The project is a modern reimagination of the 1999 Pierce Brosnan-led romantic heist movie. The upcoming movie is directed by Michael B. Jordan, who also stars in the movie as the lead. Russell was set to feature as a co-lead opposite Jordan.

Her departure, reportedly due to creative differences, comes just as production ramps up in London. Fans were eager to see her bring a fresh take to the iconic role once played by Rene Russo and Faye Dunaway. However, Russell appears to be walking away with zero regrets and a slate of major projects already underway.

Michael B. Jordan’s The Thomas Crown Affair is moving forward despite losing one of its stars, Taylor Russell.

The Thomas Crown Affair, which Jordan directs and stars in, is a remake of the 1968 film of the same name, starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. Drew Pearce (The Fall Guy, Hotel Artemis) wrote the script following a previous draft written by Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson.

Russell was originally set to star opposite Jordan. The Thomas Crown Affair cast also includes Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, Pilou Asbæk and Aiysha Hart. Producers include Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo for Outlier Society and Charles Roven for Atlas Entertainment. Also producing are Patrick McCormick and Toberoff Productions’ Marc Toberoff.

Gloria Steinem’s legacy extends far beyond her literary achievements, but her beloved magazine Ms. is what really started a movement. The story of Ms. has been fictionalized onscreen in “Mrs. America,” “Minx,” and “Good Girls Revolt,” and even had a real-life syndicated spinoff “Woman Alive!” that started in 1974. The reach of Ms. is almost unfathomable — and its imprint (pun intended) on the sociocultural landscape is still being felt today.

“Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print” revisits the iconic publication through the lens of three directors: Salima Koroma, Alice Gu, and Cecilia Aldarondo. In the film, the trio each examine a different Ms. cover story to honor the legacy of the magazine.

Ms. launched in 1972 and arguably revolutionized the feminist movement at the time. As the official synopsis for the documentary states, the magazine was suddenly “bringing radical ideas to kitchen tables across the country and sparking provocative conversations...

Dano is also in talks to produce.

"M3GAN" surprised audiences in 2022 with its creepy tale about an overprotective robot named M3GAN (body performed by Amie Donald and voice provided by Jenna Davis) who follows her pre-coded directives a little too closely. Packed with a few gnarly kills, clever humor, and one skin-crawling dance sequence, this Gerard Johnstone-directed production grossed a whopping $181 million at the worldwide box office against a $12 million budget.

You know what that means, right? Sequels and spinoffs are coming starting this year, though they already face an uphill battle at the box office. Do we need a "M3GAN" universe? Probably not, but there's no question this pint-sized doll captured the interest of moviegoers, no doubt already reeling from the early onset of artificial intelligence -- stay calm, we're still in the early stages of cats diving into pools.

You can check it out in the embed above.

Eden, which was formerly known as Origin of the Species, is said to unravel the shocking true story of a group of disillusioned outsiders who abandon civilization, settling on a remote, uninhabited island only to discover that the greatest threat isn’t the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but each other.

Deadline noted that Eden is based on an unsolved mystery that unfolded on a remote island in the Galapagos and charts the lengths humans will go in pursuit of happiness.

A scenic spa town tucked within the forested hills of western Bohemia, Karlovy Vary is among the most picturesque settings you could choose for a film festival — a fact that surely wasn’t lost on organizers when they hosted the fest’s first edition more than 70 years ago.

Today, as the Czech town prepares to hold its 59th edition, running July 4 – 12, the Karlovy Vary Intl. Film Festival has grown into the most prestigious festival in Central and Eastern Europe. It’s an event that combines the glamour of Hollywood with the youthful exuberance of the countless young cinephiles who flock from across Europe every summer to pitch tents, pack the festival’s cinemas and party deep into the night.

Artistic director Karel Och, who has been with the festival since the turn of the century, credits the “passion and dedication” of the Karlovy Vary team with creating its signature vibe.

Johansson stars alongside Sienna Miller in My Mother’s Wedding, which was formerly titled North Star. The film follows three sisters who return home for the third wedding of their twice-widowed mother, but the trio are forced to dive into parts of their past they’d rather not revisit. Vertical Entertainment has released the first official trailer for My Mother’s Wedding, which has been in distribution limbo since premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival nearly two years ago. However, Vertical Entertainment has put these rights issues to bed and set the film for release on August 8.

John Micklethwait and Kristin Scott Thomas wrote the script for My Mother’s Wedding, and Thomas also stepped behind the camera to direct the film.

Henry Cavill may have been replaced as Superman in James Gunn’s Dcu, but two years after he debuted as the Man of Steel, he starred in a spy thriller that’s become a global streaming sensation. Cavill stars alongside Hugh Grant and Alicia Vikander in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., the 2015 globe-trotting adventure following Napoleon Solo, a CIA agent who joins forces with a Kgb operative to go on a top-secret mission. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is currently streaming on Netflix, and it’s one of the most popular movies on the streamer at the time of writing, charting in several countries around the world. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. grossed $110 million at the box office against a $75 million budget, and it earned scores of 68% from critics and 73% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

Guy Ritchie wrote the script for The Man from U.

Quentin Tarantino is lucky that he’s a creative genius because his mouth gets him in trouble on the regular. Tarantino is prone to blurting out controversial hot takes, some for which he has to walk back and apologize. Case in point: When he sat for a T Magazine interview (with Bret Easton Ellis conducting), the Pulp Fiction director slammed Selma. Tarantino quipped that the Oscar-winning film “deserved an Emmy.”

Tarantino later offered a half-apology. He elaborated that he hadn’t actually seen the film but thought it looked like a T.V. movie. In that very same interview with T Magazine, Tarantino also bashed Guy Ritchie’s, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Tarantino started out sharing what he liked about the former Mr. Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone’s film and quickly pivoted to what didn’t work for him.

His hot take goes like this: “The...

Elizabeth Olsen will always be inseparable from her work as the Scarlet Witch in the MCU, but she recently starred in a twisty dystopian sci-fi thriller that just got an exciting new look. Collider is elated to partner with Magnolia Home Entertainment to showcase a new sneak peek at The Assessment, the sci-fi film in which Olsen stars alongside Alicia Vikander and Himesh Patel. The sneak peek, which can be found below, shows Vikander’s Virginia sharing the news with Olsen’s Mia and Patel’s Aaryan that they can have a child together, but only after undergoing a rigorous vetting process.

The Assessment is set in the not-so-distant future when resources are scarce and strictly controlled. Even having a child is...

Amazon looked to have pulled the plug on a Tomb Raider TV series – but the adventures of Lara Croft may now be back on.

It seems that the rumours regarding the demise of Amazon’s Tomb Raider series may have been premature. Back in April, the British tabloids put out a story suggesting that the project was dead – and there was some degree of supporting evidence to lend credence to that story.

Jennifer Salke – the head of Amazon Studios – had been shepherding the project through production and was now out of a job. Puck's Matthew Belloni – a regular Hollywood source – claimed that Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the series’ showrunner, still hadn’t delivered any scripts. There was also plenty of speculation that Amazon was looking to end its pricey production deal with Waller-Bridge, given that up until this point, none of her projects have come to fruition in the way the studio had hoped for.

High-brow film awards events like The Academy Awards and the Emmys always bring Hollywood’s tastiest milkshakes to the yard. However, while I enjoy a red carpet romp as much as the next cinephile, plenty of movies and television shows I’ve enjoyed throughout the year don’t get so much as a mention when the nominations come from parties that don’t tend to share my cinematic values. That’s why we’ve got JoBlo’s Golden Schmoes and celebrations like the fifth annual Critics Choice Super Awards! Today, the nominations for this year’s ceremony are making the rounds, with titles like Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine, Thunderbolts*, and HBO’s The Last of Us leading the pack.

Nominations for this year’s Critics Choice Super Awards cover a spectrum of genres, including superhero cinema, high-octane action, bleak dramas, mind-bending science-fiction, cerebral war drama, comedic action, spine-tingling horror, and more!

Peter Gould has a new drama pilot in development at FX. Disinherited, written by Gould, who will also direct the pilot and serve as executive producer, will star Victoria Pedretti and Kiera Allen.

In Disinherited, an unexpected inheritance thrusts a pair of scrappy sisters into a world of generational wealth and long-buried crimes.

In addition to Gould, Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, and Nena Rodrigue of T-Street executive produce with FX Productions producing.

Peter Gould is the Emmy Award, WGA, and PGA award-winning showrunner and co-creator of Better Call Saul.

Before Saul, he was a writer/producer of the Emmy Award–winning series Breaking Bad throughout the show’s five-season run.

Editor’s Note: The following story contains some spoilers for “Poker Face” Season 2, Episode 6.

Season 2, Episode 6 is not your typical episode of “Poker Face.” Charlie (Natasha Lyonne) has been working as lunch lady at a local elementary school, where she meets the terrifying Stephanie (Eva Jade Halford), a student whose ambition compels her to humiliate one of her peers and indirectly kill the class pet.

It’s a demanding role even on paper, and one brought to life superbly by the 12-year-old Halford (the episode premiered on her birthday), who goes toe to toe with Lyonne, Margo Martindale, and Adrienne C. Moore throughout the episode. It’s enough to shake a seasoned pro — but Halford is already on her way to being just that, having just wrapped “The Last Day” with Alicia Vikander, Victoria Pedretti, and Wagner Moura, from first-time feature director Rachel Rose. As a child, she’s used...
