The New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Betrays Itself From the Very Start

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-19 00:15:07

If you make an I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, one thing has to work above all else. Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right. A group of (mostly) drunk friends drive on a dark road, run into a person, and then, while he may or may not be still alive, throw his body into the ocean. Yeah, if I was hit by a bunch of drunk kids and left for dead, I’d fe

Microsoft is exiting the market for selling and renting TV and movies across its platforms. There was no reason given for the abrupt change, with Microsoft simply posting the news on a support page on its Xbox website. "Microsoft has stopped selling new movie and TV content. Existing customers can continue to access their previously purchased content on Windows and Xbox devices," Microsoft said in the post.

You can longer rent or buy TV shows or movies, but you won’t lose any of your purchases. Microsoft has rather abruptly closed down its Movies & TV app, which is accessible on Xbox and Windows PCs via the Microsoft Store. This allowed people to rent or buy movies or TV shows natively through their console or computer’s storefront, but in a newly updated support page Microsoft said the service has ended.

We Almost Lived in a Timeline Where ‘Morbius’ Was Made by ‘Midsommar’ Director Ari Aster

Marvel’s perpetually delayed Blade movie, which took on new life as the costuming for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, may never see the light of day. But it’s worth remembering we did already get a vampire movie centered on a Marvel character: a certain Dr. Michael Morbius. Midsommar and Hereditary director Ari Aster has now confirmed that at one point, he was asked to direct the Spider-Man spin-off movie, and the mind reels at what might have been.

This has been an epic year for movies, and 2025 is only halfway over. A collection of tentpole titles and must-see blockbusters has already hit the big screen. The trend of studios mining established IP continues, and popular franchises' remakes, sequels and spin-offs will compete for audiences' attention.

Daisy Ridley’s Husband Cast in Adaptation of Former Reylo ‘Star Wars’ Fan Fiction

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-20 20:00:27

The behind-the-scenes story of an upcoming romantic comedy could, on its own, be a pretty fascinating movie. Here’s the pitch. A young Star Wars fan writes a piece of Reylo (that’s Rey and Kylo Ren for the non-shippers out there) alternative universe fanfiction. The fan is approached about turning the story into a novel, only, it can’t be specific to Star Wars anymore. So the names change, but the intention and romance stay the same.

The official Tron: Ares trailer riffs on big tech and features a returning Jeff Bridges

There's finally a full trailer for Tron: Ares, the third installment in the decades-long sci-fi franchise. This comes after a teaser dropped a few months back and over two years after the film was first announced. The new footage is pretty cool, and gets into the meat of this threequel.

For better or worse, M3GAN’s sophomore outing in M3GAN 2.0 brought with it much more action-packed mania than the killer-doll horrors of the original. That, and of course the awkward inconvenience of M3GAN’s body being destroyed in the climax of the first film, meant her return for round two needed a mechanical do-over… including a few upgrades for good measure.

It’s hard to describe what it was like to sit down, 25 years ago today, to watch X-Men. I was born in 1980 and grew up loving and adoring superheroes. The Christopher Reeve Superman movies were everything to me. Posters and toys for Tim Burton’s Batman films were all over my room. And each week, I’d go to the local comic book shop to pick up new issues of X-Men, X-Force, X-O Manowar, Spawn, and so many others.
