Exclusive: Gersh has signed Katherine Langford for representation in all areas.

The Australian actress is probably best known for her lead role as Hannah Baker in the popular Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. She also was part of the main cast of the Hulu series Love, Simon and Rian Johnson’s film Knives Out, sharing in the murder mystery’s Critics Choice Award nomination for Best Acting Ensemble.

Langford’s credits also include lead roles in the movie Spontaneous and two series, Cursed for Netflix and Savage River for Australia’s ABC. She also was set for the title role in Starz’s greenlighted series The Venery of Samantha Bird, which became a casualty of the Hollywood strikes.

Langford recently completed an 18-week run playing Sally Bowles in London’s West End revival of the musical Cabaret.

20th Television have dropped yet another teaser for Alien: Earth, their upcoming sci-fi horror series that will serve as a prequel to the first film in the franchise, revealing what happened back home on Earth two years before the events of the 1979 movie.

While we don't have an official premiere date, the series is slated to debut this Summer on FX on Hulu domestically and Disney+ via Star internationally. Also, with the Super Bowl right around the corner, there's a very real possibility that a full-length trailer could debut during the annual event, especially considering the Big Game is airing on Fox.

Plot details remain relatively under wraps, but the basic premise is as follows, "When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat."

Producer Michael Jackman has done it all.

He has 35 years of experience in all aspects of motion pictures. Most recently he’s produced “Conclave,” a papal thriller starring Ralph Fiennes that looks to be a big awards contender this season. But before that, he was EVP of physical production and post at FilmNation Entertainment. While there, he worked on movies like “Arrival,” “Greyhound” and “The Good Nurse.”

He started as a Pa and over the years oversaw the construction and operations of a state-of-the-art, 45,000-square-foot post-production facility for Ronald O. Perelman’s Deluxe Entertainment in the heart of New York City; served as senior vice president of post-production at the Weinstein Company and Dimension Films, working on post-production for over 40 films; and supervised several Oscar-nominated films including “Gangs of New York” and “The Aviator,” and was associate producer on Michel Gondry’s “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.”

The developers of No Man's Sky have resolved a rare, frustrating bug that only seems to affect the most dedicated players. First released in 2016, No Man's Sky has had a long journey. Critically panned as a disappointment upon release, it has been extensively changed and built upon in the eight intervening years, up to and including the recent Cursed update. It's generally considered the subject of one of the best redemption stories in the gaming industry, and that manifests in ways both big and small.

No Man's Sky developer Martin Griffiths recently posted a thread on X (formerly Twitter) detailing the process of fixing a rare bug, reported by a player with over 600 hours in the game. The bug, which causes the screen to flicker in various colors as the player moves the camera. It's not necessarily destructive, but it is distracting, and potentially hazardous to players with photosensitive epilepsy.

When we think of monsters on this channel, most of the time its from a fictional, mythical, or legendary monster like the Mummy, Wolfman, Dracula, or Frankenstein’s Monster. On this specific show, however, a Monster can take on a whole new meaning. I joke that half of these episodes will be about reportedly true possessions and while that will probably hold fast, there is another type of monster we have discussed a few times. The guy that loosely inspired the Scream killings, Henry from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, and today’s subject Aileen Wuornos. The movie made about her is literally called Monster and put director Patty Jenkins and star Charlize Theron, at least in terms of her being seen as an A list actor who can actually act, on the map. It’s a straightforward telling of a murderer that of course adds nuance and even...

We had learned about an interesting horror project earlier this month titled Wolf Night, a werewolf movie set to be directed by Jonathan Liebesman. The film has been compared to both District 9 and The Purge… with werewolves… and Deadline brings us a big update this week.

The hot Platinum Dunes package has been picked up by Screen Gems, Deadline informs us, with Michael Bay and Brad Fuller producing Wolf Night for Platinum Dunes.

Will Honley and April Maguire wrote the screenplay for Wolf Night, but aside from the comparisons to the aforementioned movies, the plot is under wraps at this time.

Jonathan Liebesman’s directorial credits over the years also include Rings (2005), The Killing Room (2009), Wrath of the Titans (2012), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014).

Will Honley recently wrote Escape Room: Tournament of Champions.

2024's Karate Kid has added a major new cast member. The upcoming movie will be the sixth feature-length installment in the ongoing Karate Kid franchise, which also includes the popular Netflix show Cobra Kai. It is set to unite original star Ralph Macchio, reprising his role as the first "karate kid" Daniel Larusso, with Jackie Chan, reprising his role as the wise martial arts mentor Mr. Han from the 2010 remake The Karate Kid, which was loosely connected to the other movies in the franchise.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming Karate Kid movie has added Joshua Jackson to the cast. His role is unknown, but it has been confirmed that he will be one of the main characters.

"Damsel" is an upcoming Netflix movie starring Millie Bobby Brown that puts a subversive spin on traditional fairy tale tropes. Netflix has been successful with reimagining old-school fantasy stories with a modern edge, such as with "Cursed" and their adaptation of "Pinocchio." The fantasy genre offers great potential for Netflix in terms of creating new franchises and attracting fantasy fans who are currently turning to other streaming services.

Millie Bobby Brown’s next big movie release on Netflix – Damsel, arriving in 2024 – is continuing a genre trend that could be lucrative for the streaming service. Damsel revolves around a young princess, played by Brown, who seems to be set up to marry a handsome prince. However, it turns out to be a ruse and she’s thrown into a dark cave with an evil, fire-breathing dragon, where she’ll have to rely on her wits to survive. It’s a subversive...

Netflix's habit of canceling shows too early has left fans feeling frustrated and betrayed, as promising series like "The Oa," "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance," and "I Am Not Okay With This" were abruptly ended after only one season. The streaming service seems to be trying to replicate the success of shows like "Game of Thrones" and "Stranger Things" by producing fantasy, sci-fi, and supernatural stories that can capture the zeitgeist and attract new viewers. However, not all of these shows have been able to achieve the same level of popularity and viewership. While some canceled shows like "Warrior Nun" and "Cursed" were able to gain a dedicated fan base and even campaign for a movie trilogy, others like "Lockwood & Co." and "The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself" left viewers with unanswered questions and a sense of disappointment. Netflix's cancelation decisions often leave fans longing for more.

The Nun and The Hallow director Corin Hardy has set up his latest feature, high school horror movie Whistle. According to Deadline, Whistle has also lined up quite the cast.

The high school horror movie centered around an Aztec Death Whistle, known for its shrieking sound, will star Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse (“Yellowjackets”), Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), Percy Hynes White (“Wednesday”) and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead).

In Whistle, “a misfit group of unwitting high school students stumble upon a cursed object, an ancient Aztec Death Whistle. They discover that blowing the whistle and the terrifying sound it emits will summon their future deaths to hunt them down. As the body count rises, the friends investigate the origins of the deadly artifact in a desperate effort to stop the horrifying chain of events that they have set in motion.”

The film was written by Owen Egerton, adapted from his own short story.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for series five of Ghosts

Somehow, the final series of Ghosts has neatly tied up all the show’s loose ends while still leaving us wanting more – which is a jolly good thing considering they’ve confirmed we’re getting one more Christmas special in December 2023.

They really packed a lot into those last six episodes, revealing the heartbreaking truth behind the deaths of Kitty and the Captain, showing Alison and Mike’s next step in life, and giving the whole gang the opportunity to say all the lovely, touching things fans wanted to hear (as well as adding a poignant reference to Mary in the opening credits).

Taking the characters on these final journeys involved lots of flashbacks and new faces, so let’s recap all the most important guest stars from series five:

Anna Crilly as Joy Kielty

Joy is an unexpected visitor in episode one,...

The battle at Last Light Inn can be a challenging and even frustrating encounter in Act 2 of Baldur's Gate 3, but it doesn't have to be. As a deep, choice-driven roleplaying game, Baldur's Gate 3 is all about offering multiple approaches to overcoming the hurdles that it presents throughout the story. Some enemies can be defeated through persuasion rather than battlefield prowess, and certain encounters may never even arise depending on the decisions made beforehand. The ability to choose the order in which the party does many tasks can also be a great way to dodge certain complications that only arise with specific sequencing.

Last Light Inn is a rare beacon of safety in the Shadow-Cursed Lands of Baldur's Gate 3, but the battle that occurs there threatens that sanctified nature. The Selûnite cleric Isobel provides the protection for the inn through the power of her goddess, and when the Flaming Fist traitor...

King Arthur adaptations have been plentiful and varied, with actors like Clive Owen, Michael York, and Sean Connery leaving their mark on the character. Some adaptations have taken a more serious approach to the Arthur legend, like "Camelot," while others, like "A Knight in Camelot," went for a more comedic and lighthearted tone. The recent Netflix show "Cursed" offers a fresh perspective on the myth, with Devon Terrell bringing charisma to his portrayal of Arthur, while Iain De Caestecker's Arthur in "The Winter King" is portrayed as a commanding figure in a divided Britain.

The legend of King Arthur has been recounted and reinvented countless times for movies and TV shows, with many actors bringing their own unique take on the mythic character. A quick scan of adaptations of the Arthur story reveals a near-bottomless well of films, shows, novels, comics and more. These have ranged from some straightforward retellings to odder takes,...

There are literally hundreds of films and TV shows about or featuring King Arthur going back well over a century – there are silent films, musicals, animated films, comedies, dramas. You name it, there is a King-Arthur-themed version of it. There are not a small number of “Best of…” lists floating around the internet as well. But how do you know which of the recommendations is really going to scratch your King Arthur-shaped itch?

MGM+’s new series about King Arthur, The Winter King, is a combination of gritty historical fiction and “low” fantasy. It is also fairly grim and violent. But there are lots of different ways to tell a story about King Arthur and his knights, with or without round table, Merlin, the Lady of the Lake and so on. Here, we’ve rounded up a few of our favourite films and TV shows about or featuring King Arthur,...

Just announced this week, the Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2024 includes horror icon Christina Ricci, who finally gets her well-earned star on the Walk of Fame next year.

Christina Ricci is of course a longtime favorite among horror fans, becoming a household name thanks to her performance as Wednesday Addams in the live action Addams Family movies of the 1990s. She just returned to the world of The Addams Family in the Netflix series “Wednesday,” playing a new character for director Tim Burton.

Ricci also starred in Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow back in 1999, with other notable genre roles including Casper, Bless the Child, Wes Craven’s Cursed, The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, and Showtime’s hit series “Yellowjackets.” Ricci also appeared in Sam Raimi’s series “50 States of Fright,” and most recently starred in the 2022 horror movie Monstrous.

Diablo 4‘s World Bosses are one of the game’s most traditional Mmorpg elements. These massive enemies can only be defeated by groups of players who must cooperate and coordinate to take them down and take them on. They’re some of the game’s most rewarding challenges, but figuring out when and where these bosses spawn has actually been the bigger challenge so far.

The bad news is that there is no easy way to quickly tell when and where a Diablo 4 World Boss will appear. Future updates may address that issue, but it’s definitely an issue at the moment. However, there are a few things you can do to greatly improve your odds of fighting World Bosses whenever and wherever they spawn next. Here’s what you need to know about that.

Katherine Langford has yet to miss in her young career.

The Australian actor already has a mighty impressive resume that includes two hit Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why and Cursed, as well as two esteemed films in Knives Out and Love, Simon. In her latest return to the screen, Langford stars in Brian Duffield’s Spontaneous, a high-concept sci-fi comedy that is currently registering a 97% score among Rotten Tomatoes critics.

Spontaneous focuses on Langford’s Mara and her budding relationship with Charlie Plummer’s Dylan. The catch is that their love story begins amid a rising pandemic involving spontaneously exploding teenagers at their high school. Even though the film was shot in early 2018, the film has direct parallels to the novel coronavirus pandemic, something none of the creatives could have seen coming.

“In terms of the relevancy, no one could’ve imagined how this would hit when we made it three years ago,...

Here’s our first look at Katherine Langford (13 Reasons Why) as Nimune in Netflix’s series adaptation of Tom Wheeler and Frank Miller’s King Arthur-inspired graphic novel Cursed.

Melbourne and Brisbane-based Continuance Pictures has launched a short film fund offering up to $10,000 per project for emerging filmmakers whose shorts would serve as concepts for feature films or TV series.

The aim is to create shorts that will screen at A-list film festivals and provide proof-of-concept for bigger productions.

Co-founded by Tristan Barr and David Gim, the production company hopes the Continue Short Film Initiative will result in more than 50 shorts over five years.

Barr says: “As a filmmaker there is nothing worse than receiving a rejection letter and not understanding why. Through this process the team at Continuance Pictures are attempting to provide feedback to applicants to build working relationships and ongoing opportunities for the future.”

Umbrella Entertainment, which is discussing several projects with Continuance, supports the initiative. Head of acquisitions Ari Harrison tells If: “We believe it’s a great idea. There are so many first-time directors...
