Three years have gone by since it was announced that Edgar Wright was coming on board to direct a new take on the novel The Running Man, which was written by Stephen King under his Richard Bachman pen name. The Running Man was, of course, previously turned into a film back in 1987 that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and had little to do with the source material. Earlier this year, it was announced that Glen Powell of Top Gun: Maverick, Hit Man, and Twisters is following in the footsteps of Schwarzenegger to play the lead role in the new adaptation. Wright’s take on The Running Man is now in production and Powell has been spotted on the set – and yes, he was running. You can check out some of the images right here:

Intriguingly, Deadline understands A24 was also in town for Edinburgh and is interested in staging a U.S. version of the play at...

“Salem’s Lot” is once again getting the adaptation treatment, this time as a film from “Annabelle Comes Home” director and “It” screenwriter Gary Dauberman.

The latest crack at Stephen King’s acclaimed vampire novel managed to pull together a cast of recognizable faces despite being pulled from a theatrical release to go directly to Max. “Salem’s Lot” follows a writer’s return to his hometown, searching for inspiration for his next book, only to find out the place is slowly being overrun by vampires.

Here’s a rundown of the cast and characters in the horror adaptation.

Lewis Pullman as Ben Mears

Lewis Pullman plays writer Ben Mears.

Pullman is likely most recognized for playing Lt. Bob Floyd in “Top Gun: Maverick.” He’s also starred in Apple TV+’s “Lessons in Chemistry” as Calvin Evans and Prime Video’s “Outer Range” as Rhett Abbott, as well as the films...

Following his turn in “Top Gun: Maverick,” actor Lewis Pullman, the son of Bill Pullman, seems to be everywhere. From appearances on “Lessons With Chemistry” opposite Brie Larson to “Outer Range” with Josh Brolin, the 31-year-old actor is definitely on the rise. His latest onscreen appearance is the supernatural horror film “Salem’s Lot,” written and directed by Gary Dauberman, which was the opening film at the Beyond Fest earlier this week and is scheduled to be released by Max on October 3, 2024.

Gotham is expanding in “The Penguin” and that means a lot of familiar names, but new faces. In some cases, it means new names too.

Premiering on HBO on Thursday, September 19, “The Penguin” takes place just a few weeks after the events of “The Batman,” but centers on crime boss Oz Cobb — better known as the Penguin. With Gotham effectively in ruins, it’s a race to see who can control the streets, and he thinks his time has come.

That becomes a bit harder, though, when Sofia Falcone, daughter of Carmine Falcone, unexpectedly returns from Arkham Asylum.

We won’t spoil anything, but here are the major players you’ll need to keep up with.

“The Penguin” (Max) Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell)

He makes a total hair and makeup transformation for the role, but yes, that’s Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, a.k.a The Penguin. The Oscar-nominated...

Dark is a German sci-fi mystery thriller series created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese.

Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage have no shortage of differences in the first trailer for the comedy feature Brothers.

Director Max Barbakow’s movie hits select theaters Oct. 10 from Amazon MGM Studios before streaming on Prime Video a week later. Brendan Fraser, Glenn Close, Taylour Paige, M. Emmet Walsh and Jennifer Landon round out the cast.

Brothers centers on two criminal siblings who agree to team up for one final heist and set out on a road trip that promises chaos.

“I am finished stealing shit,” Brolin declares in the trailer. This leads Dinklage to respond, “Let’s do this one and split.”

Barbakow directed the film from a script by Macon Blair, with the story credited to Etan Cohen. Brolin, Dinklage, Andrew Lazar and David Ginsberg serve as producers on the project that hails from Legendary Pictures.

Dinklage previously explained the project’s origin during an interview with Collider.

Lewis Pullman is ready to sink his teeth into defending his hometown in the trailer for Salem’s Lot, which adapts the classic Stephen King horror novel.

The trailer was released Thursday ahead of writer-director Gary Dauberman’s feature hitting Max on Oct. 3. Makenzie Leigh, Bill Camp, Pilou Asbæk, Alfre Woodard and William Sadler round out the cast for the movie centering on writer Ben Mears (Pullman), who returns to his hometown and realizes he needs to defend it against a vampire.

“I’ve always written stories about things that are so terrible, you’ll run away until your brain won’t remember,” Pullman’s character says in the footage.

Later, Woodard warns, “This is not a disease you can catch.”

Dauberman directed and wrote the film that is adapted from King’s 1975 novel of the same name. Michael Clear, Roy Lee, James Wan and Mark Wolper serve as producers on...

If you don’t already know the name Alonso Ruizpalacios, “La Cocina” will likely put him on your radar. An acclaimed Mexican filmmaker known for critically acclaimed and awarded films like “Güeros” (2014), “Museum “(2018), and “A Cop Movie”(2021), Ruizpalacios has been building himself up as an artful indie auteur. And over the years, he’s also been catching Hollywood’s eye, tapped to do TV work on excellent shows which he elevated like “Outer Range,” “Narcos Mexico,” and the upcoming second and final season of “Andor.

Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 has finally arrived, and we couldn't be more excited! The intricate fantasy series and franchise overall have built such an expansive world, and it's fun to see it all come to life in a new way with this prequel series.

The first three episodes are now streaming, and going forward one new installment will be released weekly. I'm sure we're in for a wild ride! I mean, this trio definitely got things moving right away. There's no argument that Rings of Power is one of the best shows streaming on Prime Video right now.

There's the obvious shows that really are good, but you'll find on every list like this. Those include The Boys, Fallout, The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Wheel of Time,...

My Lady Jane, a British period drama, has been cancelled after just one season at Prime Video. More on the news below.

Another promising series has met its end. Prime Video has cancelled its new British fantasy drama after just one season, as detailed here by The Hollywood Reporter.

The series reimagined the life of Lady Jane Grey, portrayed by Emily Bader in the series. In My Lady Jane’s universe, humans coexist with shapeshifters, who have been driven outside of society by the humans. Jane sympathises with the so-called Ethians, but as she rises to power, she becomes a threat to the humans.

The first – and as of now, the only – season garnered strongly positive reviews from critics. My Lady Jane currently holds a 94% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a very respectable 81% audience score, but that wasn’t enough to warrant another season at Prime Video.

The disappointing...

Lewis Pullman was about halfway through shooting the second episode of the Apple TV+ limited series “Lessons in Chemistry” when he got some unexpected news: Showrunner Lee Eisenberg and the rest of the production team were so impressed with his performance as Calvin Evans, the brilliant, socially awkward chemist who falls in love with Brie Larson’s equally brilliant and socially awkward chemist Elizabeth Zott, that they decided to write more episodes for him.

Originally, Calvin’s story arc was supposed to end after tragedy strikes him down in Episode 2, but now, he’d be making intermittent return appearances and getting his own stand-alone episode explaining his character’s backstory.

“It was such an honor,” Pullman, 31, said during a recent Zoom interview. “It was such a good working experience. I didn’t come home feeling like I was dragging any sort of demons with me. It was a very warm...

Hey, did you know "Deadpool & Wolverine" has cameos? Of course you did, because this movie is so stuffed with guest appearances that it is, as /Film's Chris Evangelista put it, a disappointing cameo-fest. Whether you were actually disappointed by the sheer level of cameo-ism on display in the movie will depend on several factors, such as how much of a Marvel fan you are and how seriously you take the film. Viewed as a light-hearted piece of box office entertainment, the constant guest spots can actually make "Deadpool & Wolverine" a grand old time at the movies, especially if you're a fan of the erstwhile 20th Century Fox Marvel films.

Part-way through the movie, it essentially becomes an homage to the now defunct universe established by Fox, which was subsumed by Disney back in 2019. That means we got cameos from an impressive array of Fox Marvel stars, including Jennifer Garner's Elektra,...

We won’t be returning to the Abbott ranch anytime soon. Prime Video has cancelled Outer Range, its ambitious sci-fi western series, after two seasons. Season two was released in May.

The series followed Josh Brolin’s Royal Abbott and his family, who discovered a strange void at the edge of their property which had the power to send them through time. The Abbotts were also on a warpath with the neighbouring Tillerson family who were trying to take over Royal’s land.

The series’ large cast also included Imogen Poots, Lewis Pullman, Tom Pelphrey and Tamara Podemski. Brolin also made his directorial debut as he took the reins of the penultimate episode of season two, titled ‘Do-Si-Do’.

Amazon Studios has officially canceled “Outer Range,” the mind-bending sci-fi Western starring Josh Brolin, after just two seasons. The series, which blended elements of paranormal mystery with rugged rural drama, will not return for a third season on Prime Video, as confirmed by an individual close to the decision.

Created by Brian Watkins and executive produced by a team including Brad Pitt, the show followed Royal Abbott (Brolin), a Wyoming rancher fighting for his land and family after discovering a mysterious dark void on his property. The second season, which premiered on May 16, delved deeper into the Abbott family’s struggles following the disappearance of their granddaughter, raising the stakes and intensifying the enigma surrounding them.

Despite boasting a star-studded cast including Imogen Poots, Lili Taylor, and Will Patton, “Outer Range” struggled to capture widespread audience attention. While it did appear on Nielsen’s streaming charts for several weeks, it...

“Outer Range,” the sci-fi and mystery series led by Josh Brolin, has been canceled by Amazon Studios after two seasons and will not return for a third on Prime Video, an individual with knowledge of the decision told IndieWire.

Brian Watkins created the series that was executive produced by Charles Murray, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Ernest McNealey, Josh Brolin, Tony Krantz, Heather Rae, and Jon Paré.

Outer Range, the sci-fi drama series our own Alex Maidy called the weirdest show you’re not watching, has been cancelled after two seasons. With so many TV shows out there, it’s always a shame when a good show slips through the cracks, which feels like what has happened with Outer Range.

The series stars Josh Brolin as Royal Abbott, a rancher fighting for his territory and family at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness who must grapple with the unknown after discovering an unfathomable mystery on his land in the form of a dark void. The mystery deepens in the second season as Royal and his wife Cecelia struggle to keep their family together in the aftermath of their granddaughter’s sudden disappearance. The stakes have never been higher for the Abbotts, who now face threats on multiple fronts.

In addition to Brolin, Outer Range also stars Imogen Poots...

Is there anything worse than a show you love being canceled?

Just give a hearty "no" your best rebel yell. We all agree.

Today, Amazon has decided there will be no more Outer Range.

Outer Range is one of the last remaining unique shows on TV.

One by one, the shows that challenge expectations and entertain beyond lame drama are taking their leave, and we don't like it one bit.

Outer Range Season 1 was released episodically, which allowed fans to ponder the mystery, discuss theories, and enjoy the slow reveal of its many layers.

For Outer Range Season 2, Prime Video chose the drop-all-at-once route.

While that's great for binge-watchers, it does nothing for those who love chatting and theorizing about their favorite shows.

It also fails to keep viewers around for the longer term.

While Prime Video is...

Prime Video won’t be headed back to Outer Range.

The Amazon-owned streamer has canceled the series, which featured a blend of Western and sci-fi storytelling, after two seasons. The news comes not quite two months after the show’s second season premiered with a binge release.

Outer Range stars Josh Brolin as a Wyoming rancher who discovers a mysterious black void on his property, while also fighting to keep his land out of the hands of a rival family with whom he has a long-standing feud. Imogen Poots, Lili Taylor, Tamara Podemski, Lewis Pullman, Tom Pelphrey, Noah Reid, Shaun Sipos, Isabel Arraiza, Olive Abercrombie and Will Patton also star.

Outer Range premiered on Prime Video in April 2022 and scored a season two pickup in October of that year. The series also changed showrunners at that time, with Charles Murray taking over for Zev Borow.

Though not at the level...

Prime Video is not moving ahead with “Outer Range,” its sci-fi and neo-Western drama starring Josh Brolin. The drama premiered its second season in mid May.

The series came from Brian Watkins and was executive produced by Brolin, Charles Murray, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Ernest McNealey, Tony Krantz, Heather Rae and Jon Paré.

“Outer Range” focuses on Wyoming rancher Royal Abbott (Brolin), a man who is fighting for both his land and his family. After the arrival of a mysterious drifter by the name of Autumn (Imogen Poots), a black void appears in his pasture. As this mystery unfolds, the Abbott family also has to juggle the disappearance of their daughter-in-law Rebecca as well as a long-standing feud with a rival family trying to take over their land, the Tillersons.

Brolin (“Dune: Part Two”) led the drama, which also starred Poots (“Baltimore”), Lili Taylor (“Manhunt)”, Tamara Podemski (“Reservation Dogs...

“Outer Range” has been canceled at Amazon Prime Video, Variety has confirmed.

The series aired on the streamer for two seasons. The first season debuted in 2022, while the second season dropped in its entirety in May.

Josh Brolin led the cast, which also included Imogen Poots, Lili Taylor, Tamara Podemski, Lewis Pullman, Tom Pelphrey, Noah Reid, Shaun Sipos, Isabel Arraiza, Olive Abercrombie, and Will Patton.

Charles Murray served as showrunner and executive producer. Brolin was also an executive producer in addition to starring. Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Ernest McNealey, Tony Krantz, Heather Rae, and Jon Paré also executive produced.

The official description of the series states, “‘Outer Range’ centers on Royal Abbott (Brolin), a rancher fighting for his land and family, who discovers an unfathomable phenomenon at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness, in the form of a dark void. The mystery surrounding the enigmatic void on the...

Prime Video has opted not to renew sci-fi/neo-western drama Outer Range, starring Josh Brolin, for a third season. The news comes almost two months after the seven-episode second season of the series from showrunner Charles Murray was released May 16.

It follows solid early US ratings data, with the release of the new season propelling Outer Range to #3 on the Nielsen Streaming Originals chart for the week of May 20 with 476M hours viewed and #8 for the week of May 27 with 314M.

Outer Range followed rancher Royal Abbott (Brolin) who is fighting for his land and family after discovering an unfathomable phenomenon at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness — a dark void. The mystery surrounding the void on the west pasture of the ranch deepens in Season 2, as Royal and his wife Cecelia (Lili Taylor) struggle to keep their family together in the aftermath of their granddaughter’s disappearance.

In addition to Brolin and Taylor,...

The rule of Bridgerton — and Shonda Rhimes — on the streaming charts continued into the first two days of June.

Bridgerton declined about 37 percent in viewing time from a week earlier, but the Regency-era drama still ranked No. 1 overall on Nielsen’s charts for May 27-June 2 with 1.38 billion minutes of watch time on Netflix. The series has claimed the top spot for three straight weeks since its May 16 premiere, with another surge likely coming when results for the second half of the season (which debuted June 13) begin to arrive.

Rhimes’ Shondaland also had two other entries on the charts: Grey’s Anatomy came in third overall with 1.2 billion minutes on Hulu and Netflix. Bridgerton prequel Queen Charlotte also edged back into the top 10 original series list, scoring 274 million minutes of viewing.

Jennifer Lopez’s sci-fi film Atlas grew by 36 percent in its second week on the charts, taking fourth place overall and...

Season three of Bridgerton ruled the streaming charts for a second straight week, holding onto most of its premiere week audience and racking up more than 2 billion minutes of viewing.

A pair of sci-fi films, Jennifer Lopez’s Atlas and Dune: Part Two, also had pretty strong showings in the week of May 20-26, and Max’s Hacks and Hulu’s Under the Bridge entered the rankings as they neared the end of their seasons.

Bridgerton had 2.19 billion minutes of viewing for the week, down just 21 percent from 2.76 billion for the previous seven days. The period drama had almost double the viewing time of the second-place show, Grey’s Anatomy (1.1 billion) — which, like Bridgerton, comes from mega-producer Shonda Rhimes’ Shondaland. Kids’ favorite Bluey (1.07 billion minutes) crossed the billion-minute threshold for the 20th time in 21 measured weeks so far this year.

Atlas, which premiered May 24 on Netflix, had 795 million minutes of viewing,...

Ah, Emmy season. Does it ever end? The answer is a decisive “no” when it comes to 2024, considering we’ve already held one ceremony and are gamely preparing for a second. So many shows, so many artists, so many choices.

Fear not TV Academy voter. Yes, Emmy ballots are overwhelming. No, it’s not possible to lay discerning eyes on every candidate. But your trusty TV critic is here to help. At the cost of my friendships, physical health, and basic sanity, I’ve spent untold hours watching as much current television as humanly possible, from the highest achievements of imagination to the lowest embarrassments of our middling TV era. Now, I pass that experience onto you, via IndieWire’s 2024 Emmy Nominations Dream Ballot — a guide for voters (and reminder for casual viewers) as to what’s worth honoring among the thinning but still dense TV landscape.

That being said:...

The webs of romance in Bridgerton easily captured the top spot among all streaming titles for the show’s return. Theatrical flop Madame Web, meanwhile, found a promising start to its streaming life.

Bridgerton drew 2.76 billion minutes of viewing time in the United States for the week of May 13-19. The first half of season three premiered on May 16, and Nielsen says those four episodes accounted for 70 percent of the total, or about 1.93 billion minutes — which would still have ranked No. 1 by a wide margin. The remaining 827 million minutes came from the first two seasons.

Madame Web — whose mom was in the Amazon researching spiders right before she died — premiered May 14 on Netflix and racked up 1.16 billion minutes of viewing for the week. That’s equivalent to about 10 million complete showings of the movie, which is part of Sony’s Spider-Man universe and was derided by both critics and audiences...

Finally, Jason1 and Amanda were getting somewhere.

Sadly, that ended up being two separate locations on Dark Matter (2024) Season 1 Episode 7.

It was rewarding to watch how Amanda came to find herself a new home.

She finally heeded Blair2's advice on Dark Matter (2024) Season 1 Episode 5, which told her to find a world of her own.

FBI Season 7: Cast and Character Guide

Amanda burned bridges with her dimension when she helped Jason1 to escape from Velocity Lab.

So she needed to land someplace new.

That likely explained why she kept checking on her namesakes in every world on which they landed.

Amanda certainly deserved better from life than she had gotten.

Her Jason (Jason2) was more in love with his research than he was with her.

Then, when he decided he required  domestic bliss, he found a Jason who had married a Daniela rather than starting a family with Amanda.

Storyline aside, the strangeness encapsulating Outer Range Season 2 (and the previous season) is mind-bending.
