We’ve Seen ‘Primate,’ the First Big Horror Movie of 2026

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-21 18:00:29

We’ve seen into the future. Each January, Hollywood provides a few horror movies to kick off the new year and, in 2026, one of those movies is Primate. It’s a down-and-dirty, sub-90-minute horror movie about a killer chimpanzee starring Oscar winner Troy Kotsur, which just had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2025. And, we think, slotting it in early January is perfect because the film meets, but doesn’t quite exceed, expectations. Directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, Resident Evil

Nvidia is in talks to invest $500 million in the London-based self-driving car startup Wayve Technologies. Nvidia’s interest comes as the sci-fi dream of driverless cars inches closer to reality. Alphabet’s Waymo robotaxis already roam several U.S. cities, Tesla is testing its own service in Austin, and Amazon’s Zoox taxis—which have no steering wheels or pedals—just started offering rides in Las Vegas this month.

The Federal Trade Commission sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster on Thursday, alleging that the companies tacitly worked with scalpers to profit from jacking up ticket prices on the secondary market. As the FTC alleged in a press release, Ticketmaster's years of turning a blind eye to scalpers violated the FTC Act and the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, costing customers "billions in inflated prices and additional fees."
