Classic horror entries like The Thing, Alien, and even The Shining wield isolation as a weapon, trapping their protagonists in place and leaving them perilously vulnerable to threats- inhuman or otherwise – to evoke chills. It’s a simple tool that horror frequently exploits for maximum discomfort, whether physically, psychologically, or even socially. No matter how filmmakers insulate their characters, it results in despair and loneliness for the characters and chilling unease for the viewer. This week’s streaming picks center around isolation-based horror movies.

These titles showcase various forms of isolation, from remote settings to extreme quarantines, to leave you on the edge of your seat.

Here’s where you can watch them this week.

Oscilloscope Laboratories has acquired North American rights to “Obex” following its debut at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The surreal, black-and-white fantasy film was directed by Albert Birney (“Strawberry Mansion”) who wrote the script with Pete Ohs (“Jethica”). Birney also stars in the film.

The film was widely praised for its imagination and style, with Variety calling it “entrancing and singular” and comparing it favorably to “I Saw the TV Glow.” It follows Conor Marsh (Birney), a man living a secluded life with his dog, Sandy, until one day he begins playing Obex, a new, state-of-the-art computer game. When Sandy goes missing, the line between reality and game blurs, and Conor must venture into the strange world of Obex to bring her home.

The producing team includes Birney, Ohs, Emma Hannaway and James Belfer, the founder and CEO of production company Cartuna. “Obex” marks the company’s third collaboration with Birney,...

The Wild Robot‘s Oscar prospects may have gotten a boost on Wednesday as the Society of Composers and Lyricists announced its sixth annual award winners. The animated feature won Best Original Score for a Studio Film, defeating three of its Oscar rivals: Emilia Pérez, Wicked, and Conclave. The last of this year’s Best Score Oscar nominees, The Brutalist, competed in another category at the Scl Awards, winning Best Original Score for an Independent Film.

So does that mean the Oscar will come down to The Wild Robot and The Brutalist? In the Scl Awards’ previous five years, they agreed with the Oscars three times: Joker (2019), Soul (2020), and Oppenheimer (2023). In 2021, the Scl voted for Encanto (studio) and The Green Knight (independent), but the Oscar went to Dune. And for 2022, the Scl picked Nope (studio) and Everything Everywhere All at Once (independent), while the Oscars opted for All Quiet on the Western Front.

It’s rare for a studio to become a brand, but A24 has managed it. Since its humble beginnings as a New York-based distribution company founded by Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges in August 2012, A24 has become synonymous with quality for film lovers, the place that releases the must-see indies everyone is talking about.

A24’s first film was the little-seen and little-loved “A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III” from Roman Coppola, which hit theaters in February 2013 to muted fanfare. But the movie that really put the company on the map was “Spring Breakers,” Harmony Korine’s wild crime comedy that released in March that same year and established many of the conventions associated with the brand: Artful neon cinematography, shocking content and stylized violence,...

Turning Ebon Moss-Bachrach into gravel and setting fire to Joseph Quinn is one thing, but the biggest challenge that "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" faces involves one of Marvel's most powerful villains: Galactus (voiced by Ralph Ineson). With the doors to the Baxter Building now open, the new trailer showed us what the Devourer of Worlds looks like — well, his silhouette and the back of his noggin, at least. Sure, it would have been awesome to catch a full glimpse of our new team of heroes going head-to-massive-head with the Devourer of Worlds, or maybe even a snippet of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) getting blown away by Ineson's world-rattling rasp. However, let's never forget that it could have been a whole lot worse. We might have been met with yet another giant Thanos-colored fart pretending to be one of the most terrifying entities in the universe.

Steven Soderbergh is back with his first film since 2023’s “Magic Mike’s Last Dance.” His latest offering, “Presence,” is a haunted house thriller that plays with the horror subgenre’s conventions by assuming the point-of-view of its central, unsettled specter. The film continues Soderbergh’s ongoing fascination with playing with conventional form, and it marks one of the few times that the director has stepped foot into full-fledged horror territory.

“Presence” is not the first big-screen ghost story to subvert viewers’ expectations. The genre has, in fact, inspired more than a few unpredictable, jaw-droppingly inventive movies. Here are five you should watch that, like “Presence,” will keep you guessing and anxious to see what happens next.

“The Others” (Dimension Films) “The Others” (2001)

“The Others” may not be the most well-known film Nicole Kidman has ever starred in, but among those who have seen it, it is beloved. That is for good reason,...

Among another impressive stack of new horror titles looking to spook audiences at this year’s Sundance, “Rabbit Trap” joins a growing library of psychological folk horrors that have recently offered more (deeply) unsettling creeps than out-and-out scares.

Bowing in the Midnight slot in Park City on Friday and the feature debut of Brit director Bryn Chainey, the film doesn’t just boast an Oscar nominee in Dev Patel among its somewhat limited cast (there are only three characters in the entire feature), but comes with the backing of Elijah Wood’s SpectreVision.

Set in 1976 in rural Wales, “Rabbit Trap” centers on Daphne Davenport (“Blue Jean” breakout Rosy McEwen), an experimental electronic musician who, alongside her troubled husband and collaborator Darcy (Patel), has moved to a remote abandoned farmhouse in the countryside. It’s here where, equipped with a wild laboratory of analogue synthesizers, tape decks, theremins and very little else,...

Exclusive: And Just Like That…‘s Sarita Choudhury has signed with Innovative Artists for representation in all areas.

Choudhury portrays the fan favorite character of Seema Patel in Max’s And Just Like That.. alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis. The third season of the Sex and the City sequel series is expected to be released later this year.

Choudhury’s other television work includes recurring or guest-starring roles in Prime Video’s Fallout, as well as Homeland, Little Fires Everywhere, Jessica Jones, Ramy and Blindspot among others.

On the film side she has appeared in The Green Knight, Learning To Drive, After Yang, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 and Part 2, A Hologram for The King and Lady in the Water.

Choudhury’s debut role was in Mira Nair’s Mississippi Masala, starring opposite Denzel Washington.

She continues to be represented by manager David Lewis.

Babygirl has become an all-time hit for A24. The independent studio and distributor's newest movie is an erotic thriller written and directed by Bodies Bodies Bodies' Halina Reijn that follows a CEO (Nicole Kidman) beginning an illicit affair with an intern (Harris Dickinson) while exploring her identity and her sexual proclivities. The Babygirl release kicked off on Christmas Day 2024, debuting at the No. 7 spot on the domestic chart, a position that made it the third-best of the holiday frame's new releases, which also included Nosferatu (No. 3), A Complete Unknown (No. 6), and The Fire Inside (No. 10).

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Babygirl is projected to take in a 3-day gross of $4.6 million at the domestic box office by the end of its second weekend in theaters. This will bring its cumulative domestic total to $16.2 million, drawing closer to its reported $20 million budget. This also sees it surpass MaXXXine's domestic box...

Former CIA officer John Kiriakou has given a high accuracy score to Dev Patel's true story movie about the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which came out in 2019. Patel's best movies see him in thrilling roles, portraying captivating characters that are highly unique depending on the story he's contributing to. This includes everything from his theatrical debut in 2008's Slumdog Millionaire, to his first directorial movie as the lead character in 2024's Monkey Man. His performances are often memorable thanks to the way he commands the screen whenever he's front-and-center.

Beyond original stories for the big screen, Patel has also starred in multiple adaptations of existing works. This includes 2019's The Personal History of David Copperfield, where he played the title character, and 2021's The Green Knight, where he was the Arthurian knight Gawain. However, his talent also stretches into movies based on real events, like portraying mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan in...

This week’s episode of Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” is notable for a few reasons – one, it is dark and scary, adding in some creepier layers to the otherwise cheerful tone of the latest live-action Lucasfilm joint. There’s a lot of Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), the adorable blue alien. And one of the main characters has a dramatic change of heart.

But the most notable distinction of this week’s episode was that it was directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert aka the Daniels, the filmmaking team that won the Best Director and Best Picture Oscar for “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” This is, in fact, their first directorial effort since their multiverse comedy swept the Oscars.

And the Daniels directing an episode of “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” isn’t an outlier either. The first season of the ambitious new series, which channels 1980s nostalgia through...

A24’s “Death of a Unicorn” is on its way.

The feature, written and directed by Alex Scharfman, stars Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega “accidentally hit and kill a unicorn while en route to a weekend retreat, where his billionaire boss (Richard E. Grant) seeks to exploit the creature’s miraculous curative properties,” according to the official synopsis. And as insane as that synopsis is, the movie looks much, much more insane. You can watch the brand-new trailer below.

“Death of a Unicorn” also stars Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, Richard E. Grant, Anthony Carrigan, Sunita Mani and Jessica Hynes. It was produced by Ari Aster’s Square Peg and Ley Line Entertainment, who were responsible for A24 favorites “The Green Knight” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” The movie was shot by Larry Fong, who has shot movies for J.J. Abrams and Zack Snyder and who most recently lensed “Damsel.

The animated short “An Almost Christmas Story” completes Alfonso Cuaron’s trifecta of Christmas stories.

This time, he turned to “The Green Knight” director David Lowery to helm the storytelling. “It was almost exactly three years ago that I read the script for the first time,” says Lowery. He happened to be feeling very festive, and it was an instant yes to sign on. “It feels exactly the right thing to do. I love Christmas. I love the tradition of Christmas movies, and I love short Christmas films,” Lowery says. He also loved the idea of what Cuaron had done with “The Shepherd” and “Le Pupille,” creating a new series of films for Disney+ which hopefully, along with “An Almost Christmas Story ” would become perennial classics.

“An Almost Christmas Story,” now streaming on Disney+, is based on the true story of an owl that was rescued from the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas tree in 2020. The owl,...

It's the end of 2024 — if you think keeping track of all the new movies released this year was a challenge, try keeping your head on straight with new comics. Which of these funny books should you movie fans dive into? I'll offer the cream of the crop from my year-long reading experience, from monthly superhero books all the way to indie graphic novels.

In the interest of brevity, this list will only feature comics that debuted in 2024. Some honorable mentions for ongoing comics I loved this year but didn't meet that cut-off:

"Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees" by Patrick Horvath

"Chainsaw Man" by Tatsuki Fujimoto

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is finally here with the pirate-themed space opera series adding a new flavor to the galaxy far, far away. The series was created by Jon Watts and Christopher Ford and received mostly positive reviews. During a recent interview, Watts spoke about some of the influences behind the series, admitting to being inspired by creator George Lucas.

Jon Watts co-created Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (Credit: Lucasfilm).

In the interview, Watts talked about being influenced by the same sources that inspired Lucas when he was preparing to launch his space opera franchise back in the 1970s. As a result, it is endearing to see Watts follow in Lucas’ footsteps while also trying to leave his own imprint on the saga, and here is what the filmmaker had to say.

Jon Watts Talked How George Lucas’ Core Influences Inspired Skeleton Crew

Skeleton Crew is a brand new addition to the Star Wars universe.

Plot: When a terrorist group led by the villainous Jacob Pearce attacks a high-profile embassy reception, with the French Minister of Defence as their target, protection officer Vincent finds himself working with street-smart MI6 operative Zara to save the day. But when events take an increasingly dark turn, Vincent and Zara soon realize that the plan extends far beyond just one politician. With suspicions that one of their colleagues in the security services is feeding information to Pearce, Vincent and Zara soon come to rely on each other more than either would have ever imagined. Increasingly isolated and with Pearce always one step ahead, can this unlikely pair stop Paris from falling to a man hell-bent on vengeance?

Review: I’m not sure who asked for it, but the Gerard Butler Has Fallen film series has become the Has Fallen cinematic universe. After three movies, the same fictional world where...

Early in the new Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, we meet our young hero, Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers). He is in a bedroom that looks an awful lot like one you might have found in any suburban house here on Earth in the Eighties, and he’s playing with a pair of dolls that are roughly the size and design of the action figures that Kenner released around the original Star Wars film trilogy. Wim and his best friend Neel (Robert Timothy Smith) have mock lightsaber battles while waiting for the bus to school.

“Star Wars” has always been, on some level, for children. That’s neither condescension nor criticism: George Lucas created a swashbuckling fairy tale set in space, and its mantle has been taken up by successive generations of filmmakers who encountered it at a formative age. But, with the exception of “The Phantom Menace,” “Star Wars” stories have rarely been about children. That’s the value proposition of “Skeleton Crew,” the latest TV series from a franchise that now largely exists on the small screen. In a way, it’s also the most true to the saga’s DNA — or at least a particular strain of it.

Though “Star Wars” hasn’t delivered a blockbuster to the multiplex since 2019, Lucasfilm has maintained a steady drip of releases on Disney+. These projects have been variable in quality, from “Andor” on the high end to “Obi-Wan Kenobi” on the low, but they’ve...

Jon Watts and Christopher Ford are reuniting for a nostalgic journey through a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. While the latter made his writing debut with the sci-fi dramedy Robot & Frank, Watts and Ford enjoyed their rise to success by teaming with each other for the 2014 horror movie Clown, the crime thriller Cop Car and the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man: Homecoming. As Watts became busy with the webslinging trilogy, Ford went on to write and produce the well-received coming-of-age thriller The Clovehitch Killer and rewrite the adaptation of Chaos Walking.

With Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the duo are working in tandem as the creators and showrunners for the latest installment of the Lucasfilm franchise. The Disney+ show focuses on a group of children from a suburban Republic planet who, after discovering a derelict spaceship, venture off and become stranded in the galaxy far from home.

The Slumdog Millionaire sequel announcement with the original cast return is uncertain (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

When Slumdog Millionaire hit theaters in 2008, it wasn’t just a film but a global phenomenon. The story of Jamal Malik, a young man from the slums of Mumbai who wins big on Indian Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, was loved by audiences worldwide. Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Simon Beaufoy, the movie became a massive success, sweeping eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

It launched the careers of its stars, notably Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, and remains a beloved cultural landmark to this day. Now, over 15 years later, the magic of Slumdog Millionaire may be rekindled. While there has been no news of a sequel to the movie since its release, fans may be surprised to learn that there is hope that the story might continue after all.

Um, what? In a move we did not see coming, Bridge7, a production company founded by former Netflix executive Swati Shetty and former CAA agent Grant Kessman, has acquired the film sequel and TV rights to Slumdog Millionaire. I’m going to give you a moment to process this.

Are you good? Okay. If you remember, Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire hit the lottery in theaters in 2008. The film stars a young Dev Patel as the older version of Jamal, a young man from the slums of Mumbai who becomes a contestant on the show’ Kuan Banega Crorepati?’ When interrogated under suspicion of cheating, he revisits his past, revealing how he had all the answers. Based on the book Q&a by Vikas Swarup, Boyle’s film serves as Patel’s feature debut after an extended role on the TV series Skins.

It remains a mystery if Patel or any other...

Mother Mary gets a first-look image, showing Anne Hathaway's role as a glamorous pop star. Directed by David Lowery (The Green Knight), the upcoming A24 movie chronicles the relationship between a pop star and a fashion designer, with Alba Baptista, Hunter Schafer, Jessica Brown Findlay, and Michaela Coel set to costar. Mother Mary marks Hathaway's follow-up to Prime Video's The Idea of You, a romantic comedy that was released earlier this year.

Vanity Fair now shares a behind-the-scenes image from Mother Mary, showing Hathaway in character wearing a golden leotard with an accompanying golden cloak and a golden tiara, of sorts. Though the image doesn't reveal much, it does seemingly feature Hathaway posing in some kind of backstage area at a theater. Check out the image below:

Hathaway also provides a brief comment about her role in the movie, explaining that it was quite an adjustment for her to...

At the 2024 Disney Apac Content Showcase today, it was exclusively revealed that Star Wars: Visions will debut a third volume in 2025. The award-winning series first premiered in 2021, with nine shorts by seven different Japanese anime studios celebrating the mythology of Star Wars through unique cultural perspectives.

In his attempts to escape the bustling city, Moon befriends a lost little girl named Luna. Together, they embark on a heartwarming adventure, discovering the magic of the holiday season and forming an unlikely bond as they journey back home to their parents.

Review: Alfonso Cuaron is as adventurous a director as a producer. While his name has been big this year thanks to the masterpiece that is the Apple TV+ series Disclaimer, Cuaron has lent his backing to the third short film in a trilogy for Disney+. Following 2022’s Le Pupille and last year’s The Shepherd, Cuaron enlists director David Lowery to wrap the Christmas-themed collection of shorts with An Almost Christmas Story. Boasting a distinct look and the vocal talents of John C. Reilly, Natasha Lyonne, and Jim Gaffigan,...

Fifty-eight years ago, Poison Ivy made her debut in Batman #181 (1966), marking the start of her evolution into one of the Dark Knights most iconic and enduring villains.

"Be warned of booby traps, pirates, and mountains where none dare to go!" So says a mysterious, piratical voice in the latest trailer for Jon Watts and Christopher Ford's upcoming Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. And if that proclamation sounds a little bit like a line that could've come straight from The Goonies, then that's no mere accident — with their New Republic era yarn spun around a group of lost space-kids who encounter ne'er-do-wells, tentacled creatures, and an enigmatic, Jude Law shaped Force-user whilst trying to find their way home, Watts and Ford are going all in on the Amblin vibes for their first foray into a galaxy far, far away. Cue the synths, and check out the boppy new trailer below:

Filming has already wrapped on Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later that intends to launch a brand new trilogy. In fact, Ralph Fiennes spills the beans in a chat with IndieWire that the first Two movies have been shot!

Fiennes also served up some plot details for 28 Years Later that were previously under wraps.

And it centers on a young boy who wants to find a doctor to help his dying mother. He leads his mother through this beautiful northern English terrain.

The Green Knight director David Lowery’s animated short film An Almost Christmas Story is in November. Here’s a trailer to remind us.

Definitions of ‘almost Christmas’ may vary from household to household, but for Disney+ it looks like mid November is the sweet spot. The platform will be releasing David Lowery’s animated short, An Almost Christmas Story, and coming from a filmmaker that often surprises and delights, we’re hoping for a delightful short that can join the ranks of the annual Christmas canon.

According to Collider, the film ‘will introduce young Moon (Cary Christopher), an owl who’s instructed to never leave a tree in the woods in order to survive. But destiny has different plans for the small bird. The tree that was meant to protect Moon becomes a Christmas tree in the middle of New York City’s Rockefeller Plaza. But that doesn’t...

For a young actor, Cary Christopher — who plays Thomas Dimera on Days of Our Lives — has a versatile range. With several upcoming projects, including the Spider-Noir TV series with Nicholas Cage, his resume is building fast. One of his undertakings was finally released, and Christopher excitedly shared news of its premiere.

He Plays an Owl

Christopher appears in the new film An Almost Christmas Story, the third in a series of holiday shorts produced by Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón. The short is also produced, written, and directed by David Lowery, who made 2021’s The Green Knight. It’s based on the true story of an owl that was found in the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in 2020 in New York City and named Rocky after the center.

According to Deadline, the plot is about a young owl named Moon (Christopher) who “Unexpectedly finds himself stuck in a Christmas tree destined for Rockefeller Plaza.

Production wrapped earlier this summer on Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later that intends to launch a brand new trilogy. Boyle and Alex Garland are reteaming for the planned 28 Years trilogy, with Garland writing the first movie and Boyle back in the director’s chair to bring the horror to the screen.

On that note, an article over on Wired this week reveals that 28 Years Later was at least partially filmed with “a bunch of adapted iPhone 15s,” specifically the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Wired details in their insightful report on the production, “…the Hollywood thriller, with its budget of $75 million, [is] the biggest movie to date filmed with smartphones.”

“Principal filming for 28 Years Later wrapped at the end of August, and until now the production has kept under wraps the fact that the movie was shot with smartphones,...

The Zurich Film Festival will honor Swedish actor Alicia Vikander, who won an Oscar with “The Danish Girl,” during its 20th edition, which runs Oct. 3-13.

Vikander will accept the festival’s Golden Eye Award on Oct. 8 when she presents the Swiss premiere of her new film “The Assessment,” which is directed by Fleur Fortuné.

“The Assessment,” in which she stars opposite Elizabeth Olsen, tells the story of a society striving for perfection, living in a world devastated by climate change, trying to optimize life – including the assessment of parenthood. A couple is examined by an assessor for seven days to determine their suitability to have children.

The award recognizes her “outstanding acting performance and her consistently courageous and clever choice of roles,” as demonstrated in auteur films and blockbusters alike, including “Ex Machina,” “The Danish Girl,” “Anna Karenina,” “Jason Bourne,” “The Green Knight” and “Tomb Raider.”

Vikander will be handed the award on October 8 before presenting the Swiss premiere of her new film The Assessment by the director Fleur Fortuné.

“I am incredibly honoured to be receiving the Golden Eye Award at Zurich Film Festival and proud to be amongst such a talented list of past honourees,” Vikander has said. “I was last there in 2017, for the Zff Masters and premiere of Euphoria, and I’m so pleased to be returning to the festival once again this year.

Barry Keoghan hypes up the upcoming Peaky Blinders. Peaky Blinders was originally a television series that ran for six seasons across 2013 to 2022. Now, a Peaky Blinders movie is in development, with Keoghan recently announced to star alongside Dune actor Rebecca Ferguson and returning series actor Cillian Murphy. The Peaky Blinders movie will be directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight. Keoghan's character in the film is yet unknown.

Speaking with IndieWire at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Keoghan provides an update surrounding the development of the Peaky Blinders film. Keoghan mentioned that he "read the script and loved it." He also teased that he's been talking to co-star Murphy about the film and that it is "going to be epic." Keoghan did not provide any further details as to what content would be in said script nor what his character would be like. Check out the full...

David Lowery, he filmmaker behind such ambient tone pieces as The Green Knight and A Ghost Story, doesn’t seem to know what the upcoming Mother Mary is… apart from being a “weird, weird film”.

As well as making franchise staples such as Pete’s Dragon and Peter Pan and Wendy, David Lowery loves to make arthouse films that are as much about texture and tone as they are anything else. A Ghost Story and The Green Knight spring to mind, weirdly compelling cinematic meditations on what it is to be human, perhaps.

We say ‘perhaps’ because we don’t really know and when it comes to Lowery’s latest offering in his trademark style, it seems that he doesn’t really know either. Speaking to an audience at the Melbourne International Film Festival (via IndieWire) the filmmaker talked about his eighth film, apparently in a state of bafflement about what the project is,...

Over the weekend, director David Lowery teased the audience at the Melbourne International Film Festival with details about his much-anticipated film “Mother Mary.” The film, whose fourteen-month, multi-location production wrapped in Germany in July, explores the relationship between Anne Hathaway as a fictional pop star and Michaela Coel, the Emmy and BAFTA-winning star of “I Will Destroy You,” who plays a fashion designer engaged to design a dress for the star. Also starring are F.K.A. Twigs, Hunter Schafer, and Alba Baptista, with original music from Jack Antonoff and Charli Xcx.

Days after production closed, Hathaway described making “Mother Mary” as “one of the most extraordinary, transformative experiences I have ever had.” When asked about the feature, his eighth, Lowery sighed deeply and hesitantly described it as “a weird, weird film.”

“I wrote the first 20 pages when I was shooting ‘Peter Pan and Wendy’ and it’s been percolating ever since,...

Dev Patel has been an interesting actor to watch as he always brings an earnestness to his performances that is hard to convey. Along with his breakout performance in Slumdog Millionaire, the actor received enormous praise and accolades for his dramatic range in films like Lion, Hotel Mumbai, The Green Knight, and in his recent directorial debut film Monkey Man.

One of his most infamous films was 2010’s The Last Airbender which was a live-action adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. The film was Patel’s first big-budget studio film but the actor struggled to find his footing on set and felt out of place within the studio system.

Barry Keoghan is one in-demand star, and he’s got plenty of projects on the horizon.

The superstar actor made his mark in Hollywood in projects like Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin, The Green Knight and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and as a result, he’s lined up plenty of work ahead.

We’ve rounded up all of the confirmed projects he’s been attached to that are in pre-production, in production, or completed filming. And there’s also one excited rumored project that he’s possibly appearing in as well!

Barry Keoghan broke the hearts of millions across the globe with his Oscar-nominated portrayal of a hapless character in The Banshees of Inisherin. The actor then stopped hearts in terror with his sneaky cameo as the horrifically disfigured Joker in The Batman. However, it was The Killing of a Sacred Deer that solidified his status as a force to watch out for.

Despite his Oscar-nominated performance, Barry Keoghan continues to surprise across all genres including war dramas (Masters of the Air), thrillers (Saltburn), comic book epics (Eternals), fantasy adventures (The Green Knight), and even an upcoming Western historical biopic about the notorious cowboy outlaw, Billy the Kid.

When an accomplished actor such as himself gets entangled in rumored relationship dramas helmed by celebrity gossip columns, it is unlikely for fans to sit idly by and watch his reputation get deconstructed over social media.

With “House of the Dragon” closing out its second season last week, it might be time to look elsewhere to get your dosage of dragons and family drama.

Showrunner Ryan Condal revealed in a Monday press conference that writing for Season 3 was already underway, with prep set to begin this fall and production aiming to start up in early 2025.

Though Condal said he hears fans who are hoping the “Game of Thrones” spin-off series could release every summer, he pointed to the massive scale of the battles and apologized for the wait. That said, a hopeful outlook could see “House of the Dragon” airing in late 2025, but 2026 is looking more likely.

In the meantime, there’s plenty of movies that might scratch your “House of the Dragon” itch, from fantasy classics like “Lord of the Dragons” to dragon-filled action flicks like “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” and “How to Train Your Dragon,...

Esta madrugada, durante la D23 Expo de Disney, se ha presentado el primer tráiler y póster de la nueva serie del universo Star Wars de Disney Plus+, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, que en España se titula Star Wars: Tripulación perdida.

La serie se sitúa después de los acontecimientos de Star Wars: Episodio VI – El retorno del Jedi, pero antes de la trilogía secuela, ambientándose en la misma época que The Mandalorian. Cuando cuatro niños hacen un misterioso descubrimiento en su aparentemente seguro planeta natal, se pierden en una galaxia extraña y peligrosa. Encontrar el camino de vuelta a casa y encontrarse con aliados y enemigos improbables será una aventura mayor de lo que jamás imaginaron.

Jude Law (El talento de Mr. Ripley) protagoniza la serie junto a los jóvenes actores Ravi Cabot-Conyers (Encanto), Kyriana Kratter...

If you've seen "The Mandalorian" and enjoyed the dynamic of a lone wanderer acting in loco parentis to a precocious wayward child, then how about a dad figure acting in loco parentis to four precocious wayward children? That's the premise of "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew," the upcoming Disney+ series starring Jude Law as a Jedi character called Jod Na Nawood, which just unveiled its first teaser trailer. The "Goonies"-esque premise teams Jod up with a team of young adventurers: Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Kb (Kyriana Kratter), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), and Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong).

Some of the biggest names in "Skeleton Crew" are behind the camera. The series will feature episodes directed by Jon Watts (the most recent "Spider-Man" trilogy), Lee Isaac Chung ("Twisters"), Bryce Dallas Howard ("The Mandalorian"), David Lowery ("The Green Knight"), Jake Schreier (upcoming Marvel movie "Thunderbolts"), and -- most excitingly -- the Daniels, whose mind-bending...

The Skeleton Crew is finally coming together. Lucasflim showed off the first trailer for Star Wars: The Skeleton Crew as part of its presentation at D23 Friday, where audiences got a look at the coming-of-age series.

Skeleton Crew centers on a group of kids lost in a galaxy far, far away — as they try to make their way home. The show hails from Jon Watts, who directed Tom Holland’s Spider-Man trilogy, and Christopher Ford, Watts’ frequent collaborator. The Mandalorian duo Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni executive produce the show, which stars Jude Law and is set in the New Republic era of the Star Wars canon (or in simpler terms, the years after the Empire’s fall in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.)

A crew of top-flight directors worked on the project, including Everything Everywhere All At Once‘s Daniels and The Green Knight‘s David Lowery. The...
