Apple TV+ has a strong lineup of fall film debuts on the way, but a new report indicates the streamer is about to land one of its biggest movies yet: a new Martin Scorsese film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence starring. Martin Scorsese’s next film, What Happens at Night, will star Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio After years of mixed successes and failures, Apple seems to be finally hitting its stride with original movies.

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. There is a certain degree of body horror baked into American football that becomes readily apparent whenever players sustain gruesome, career-ending injuries on camera. For some, football’s overt violence is part of its appeal, and players are seen as people who have chosen to risk their safety in pursuit of fame and glory. Over the y

Why I ‘upgraded’ to a film camera that’s older than I am

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-09-20 23:00:00

Fall Upgrade Week feels like an odd time to celebrate my move to a 50-year-old film camera, but there’s logic to it: not because film photos are timeless, or because I want to wax lyrical about warmth and grain and analog appeal, but because I don’t think there’s any better way to teach yourself about photography. That’s how I got into film. At some point over the last decade, reviewing phones morphed more or less into reviewing cameras with touchscreens on the back. For a writer with no photog

The Rise and Fall of the British Detective Novel (2010)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-18 12:18:18

Between around 1910 and 1950, England was in the grip of a genteel crime wave; a seemingly endless output of murder mysteries, generally set among the upper and upper middle classes and usually solved by a brilliant amateur detective rather than by the police. They were read enthusiastically and with an insatiable appetite by British middle-class readers. The ‘golden age’ of the English detective story during this span of 40 years or so is an important and often overlooked feature of English pop

An Odd Trio of ‘Halloween’ Movies Is Returning to Theaters

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-21 15:00:06

The latest movies to come back to theaters are the Halloween franchise, which makes sense since it’s spooky season. But instead of just the original film or the more recent trilogy, we’re getting three installments that’ve been surprisingly grouped together. Along with the original 1978 Halloween, both Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers are also coming back to the big screen.

The 44 Best Movies on Hulu This Week (September 2025)

wired.com Jennifer M. Wood 2025-09-21 17:00:00

In 2017, Hulu made television history by becoming the first streaming network to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, thanks to the phenomenon that was The Handmaid’s Tale. While Netflix has largely cornered the streaming market on original movies—and even managed to persuade A-listers like Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón, and Martin Scorsese to come aboard—Hulu is starting to find its footing in features too, securing the exclusive rights to a large number of Oscar-nominated mov

In the 10 years since releasing its first original film, Beasts of No Nation, Netflix has evolved into a power player in the movie scene. It's earned honors at award shows including the Oscars, Golden Globes and Emmys. The streaming giant won three Oscars in 2025, and action-thriller Rebel Ridge just nabbed an Emmy Award this week for Best TV Movie (the sentimental Vince Vaughn comedy Nonnas was nominated in the same category and is worth a watch, too).

I Love Hallmark Movies, but This New Netflix Flick Shakes Up the Rom-Com Formula

You could argue that the newly released Miranda Cosgrove romance movie, The Wrong Paris, which arrived on Netflix last week, could have been a Hallmark movie. As someone who covers a lot of streaming and television content, I've watched at least 100 Hallmark movies over the course of my career, and the plot of The Wrong Paris, at least on paper, is the perfect Hallmark film. In it, a broke artist named Dawn (Cosgrove) applies to a dating show, thinking it takes place in Paris, France, but to he

‘Him’ Is Filled With Great, Creepy Ideas, But Never Quite Brings It All Home

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-23 03:00:06

Usually, there are sports movies and there are horror movies, and the two don’t really cross over. In Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhees wears a hockey mask, but he doesn’t take a slap shot. A killer might swing a baseball bat, but they aren’t stepping up to the plate. Him, the new film from Justin Tipping, is one of the first, and maybe biggest, films to ever blend horror and sports, which, just for that, is worth being excited about.

A new Megalopolis documentary reveals why it turned out like that

It’s been almost exactly a year since I first saw Megalopolis, and the last 12 months haven’t been kind to Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestating epic. It mostly bewildered critics and audiences, earned back just a fraction of its $120 million budget, and still isn’t easily accessible via streaming or a Blu-ray release.

Boring is good

The initial, feverish enthusiasm for large language models (LLMs) is beginning to cool, and for good reason. It’s time to trade the out-of-control hype for a more pragmatic, even “boring,” approach. A recent MIT report shows that 95% of companies implementing this technology have yet to see a positive outcome. It’s understandable to feel confused. When I get confused, I write.
