Zach Cregger’s Dream DC Movie Would Take After a Great ‘Batman’ Episode

Zach Cregger’s got Weapons out this weekend, but the man apparently never stops working. Not only is he working on a new Resident Evil movie, but he’s also cooked up an idea for DC Studios that we now know a little bit more about. According to the Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter, Cregger’s DC movie is currently known as Henchman. The pitch? The trade’s sources say a low-level goon in Gotham City manages to take down Batman thanks to “a stroke of luck,” after which he becomes the tal

James Cameron Will Keep Making ‘Avatar’ Movies Whether You Want Him to or Not

Nothing is slowing down the Avatar franchise, not even James Cameron’s other cinematic projects. While there has been recent momentum on films beyond the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash—he’s currently developing two features, The Ghosts of Hiroshima and The Devils—make no mistake: he’s still all in with Pandora. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Cameron talked about why he is so committed to the world of Avatar and it’s not (just) because the films make the big bucks every time one is rel

A Misconfiguration That Haunts Corporate Streaming Platforms Could Expose Sensitive Data

Top streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ have made sustained investments over the years to lock their content down. Whenever they can, they prevent users from accessing videos without a subscription or watching region-blocked content. New findings presented today at the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas, though, indicate that streaming platforms used for things like internal corporate broadcasts and sports livestreams can contain basic design flaws that allow anyone to access a vast

Apple’s F1 film helped drive Formula One Group’s top-speed revenue growth

The F1 movie isn’t just a hit for Apple. The Formula One Group credits Apple in part for its recent revenue boost. The Hollywood Reporter has the story: The company, which is owned by Liberty Media, saw a one-time revenue increase from the release of the film in late June, which contributed to the group’s 40 percent rise in revenue year-over-year to hit $1 billion. Executives quantified the impact of the movie on revenue as “as a mid-teens number for the quarter,” with other drivers including

Weapons turns our deepest anxieties into a potent horror masterpiece

Zach Cregger’s first major film Barbarian was tense and frightening, but it was also infused with a healthy dose of absurdity. The movie’s twisted sense of humor made it easier to stomach its grotesque violence and a bit more difficult to anticipate how its unhinged story would unfold. But Barbarian also worked surprisingly well as a

You Can Stay at the House From ‘Poltergeist’, and Even Have Someone Haunt You

It’s been about a year since the house from 1982’s Poltergeist went on the market for the first time, exciting horror fans who scrolled through property photos, dreamed of stacking chairs in the retro-preserved kitchen, and wondered if anything suspicious was unearthed while building that backyard pool. That was fun, but this is even better: in the grand tradition of movie-themed stays past, the Freeling home is now available for booking on Airbnb, complete with a massive old TV set broadcasting

Here's How to Watch the Original The Naked Gun Movies in Order

Growing up, the Naked Gun series was a staple in my household. I rented the movies so regularly that my parents gave me the trilogy on DVD for Christmas one year. So when a reboot, or legacy sequel, titled The Naked Gun was announced, I was excited. And apparently, I wasn't the only one -- according to Box Office Mojo, the film generated nearly $17 million at the box office domestically in its opening weekend. Plus, The Naked Gun 2025 has a whopping 90% critic rating and 76% audience score on Ro

This Forgotten '90s Cyberpunk Flick Nailed the Dystopian VR Vibes

Pull up any list of the ultimate cyberpunk movies and you'll find The Matrix, Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. But there's one great tech noir flick that came out at the height of the cyberpunk craze -- and then all-but disappeared. Maybe that's partly because of its title. I'd wanted to rewatch Strange Days for a long time, but I kept forgetting because, honestly, I couldn't remember what it was called. Then I finally rediscovered the sci-fi thriller on Hulu. After my most recent viewing,

Ioan Gruffudd’s Still Fond of His ‘Fantastic Four’ Tenure

Even before Marvel Studios retook ownership of the Fantastic Four and got a new movie into production, there was always a bit of fondness for the old Fox movies. Not so much the 2015 one, but the mid-2000s pair directed by Tim Story and starring Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis still have their fans. Those films were general audiences’ first introduction to the characters, and there remains a bit of attachment to those versions, particularly after Evans came back for

‘Batman’ and ‘Casper’ Are Coming Back to Theaters

This fall, the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy is coming back to theaters, and they won’t be alone. In the weeks and months ahead, fellow re-releases will include Tim Burton’s Batman duology and 1995’s Casper. In the former’s case, both 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns will be a special, one-night event on August 25. Over 160 Dolby Cinema at AMC Theaters locations will play the two movies, and it looks like AMC’s putting enough enough distance between them for you to watch them in one go. A

The Films and Shows You Should Be Streaming in August 2025

A new era of streaming selections is here. For the past several years, our monthly column, the Nerd’s Watch, has been the place to find out all the best genre titles coming to the biggest streaming services. It wasn’t a complete list. We just posted the titles we think you’d care about, but it was still long, and frankly, it was hard to pick out the best of the best.

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Is Bringing Back Hulk and Scorpion

Spider-Man: Brand New Day isn’t an Avengers movie, but it’s starting to look like one. We know Tom Holland is returning as the titulal webslinger and that Jon Bernthal is reprising his role as the Punisher. But now, it seems that Mark Ruffalo is also returning as Bruce Banner/the Hulk, and even Michael Mando, who played one of the villains in Holland’s first Spidey film, Spider-Man: Homecoming, will return as Scorpion. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of the new cast additions. And, since

Zach Cregger Breaks Down the Year’s Most Twisted, Surprising Horror Movie

Writing and directing a breakout hit can be both a blessing and a curse for some filmmakers. On the one hand, you’ve just achieved your dreams of success and adoration in the world of cinema. Well done. On the other hand, now you have to do it again. And again. And again. Some filmmakers fail at this. Others, especially the great ones, rise to the challenge. George Lucas followed THX 1138 with American Graffiti and Star Wars. Steven Spielberg followed Duel with Sugarland Express and Jaws. Fast f

Celebrating 40 Years of the Weirdest, Nerdiest Week in Movie History

“Don’t cannibalize the audience” is an unwritten mantra in Hollywood. If a movie that is coming out has a similar subject matter or serves a similar viewership as one you are releasing, you try and put some distance between them so as not to ruin your chances of success. If two movies come out that are too similar, it’s likely to split the audience and hurt both of them. That seems like a no-brainer point of view. And yet, 40 years ago this week, three movies were released in a seven-day span th

New James Bond Movie Will Be Written by Creator of ‘Peaky Blinders’

The director came first, and now it’s the screenwriter. MGM just announced that Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, has been hired to write the next James Bond movie, which will be directed by Denis Villeneuve. News of Knight’s hiring was first reported by Deadline before being confirmed by the official 007 account. According to the trade, since Villeneuve’s hiring, producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman (who are shepherding the franchise) have been focusing on finding the right writer

10 Winners and 4 Losers From San Diego Comic-Con 2025

San Diego Comic-Con 2025 is officially in the books, and it was a unique year, to say the least.

Others did not. Here’s our rundown of the winners and losers of Comic-Con 2025.

Matt Shakman Thinks What Was Cut From ‘Fantastic Four’ Was for the ‘Greater Good’

It’s been just shy of a week since Marvel’s latest installment in its ever-expanding cinematic universe, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, released in theaters. While much of the hubbub about the film is generally favorable, verging on “we’re so back,” some online fans lamented over the movie seemingly leaving a lot of content from its trailer on the cutting room floor for their liking. Now, director Matt Shakman has come forward to discuss the rigorous editing process behind the Marvel film. In

Noah Hawley Wants ‘Alien: Earth’ to Feel Like a ‘Game of Thrones’ Horror Show

‘Predator: Badlands’ Came From a Desire to Do Something New, With a Dash of ‘Star Wars’

With Prey, director Dan Trachtenberg did something no one ever thought was possible. He took a beloved franchise, Predator, and flipped it on its head. By giving it a fresh perspective and a new timeline, he took something old and brought it into the now. For his follow-up, he wanted to do that again, but it was difficult. Everyone kind of just wanted Prey 2. “Sometimes when you make a sequel, it’s just part two of the cool thing, not a cool thing in and of itself,” Trachtenberg said recently a

‘Thunderbolts’ Director Teases His Take on the ‘Complex’ X-Men

While Marvel basks in the success of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, director Jake Schreier—the guiding hand behind Marvel’s earlier 2025 hit, Thunderbolts—is looking ahead to the studio’s most anticipated movie that doesn’t have the word “Avengers” in the title. Schreier is helming the movie designed to bring the X-Men fully into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, on the heels of Deadpool & Wolverine. As you’d expect, he’s giving his approach to the oft-adapted characters a lot of thought. Speaki
