Okay, movie fans, heads up! One of my all-time favorite thrillers, Collateral – you know, the 2004 Michael Mann film with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx – is leaving Netflix on January 1st, 2026. It’s got a fantastic cast, including Mark Ruffalo, Jada Pinkett Smith, Javier Bardem, Peter Berg, and Bruce McGill. If you haven’t seen it, or want to rewatch, you’ve got a little while, but don’t wait too long to stream Collateral before it’s gone!
The HBO series IT: Welcome to Derry took a risk with its first season by delaying the appearance of Pennywise, the iconic clown played by Bill Skarsgård, until the fifth episode. While viewers were eager to see him return, the show held back, leading to some frustration online. The creators explained this choice by saying they wanted to emphasize Pennywise’s ability to change forms. However, the real reason was actually convincing Bill Skarsgård to play the character again.
Josh Hawley recently gained attention with his new show, Alien: Earth, which premiered on FX. I previously wrote about my disappointment that his planned Star Trek movie never came to fruition. Now, in a new interview with the SFF Gazette, he’s revealed just how far along the project was before it was ultimately cancelled.
It’s reasonable to wonder if the core idea of Supernatural could succeed without Sam and Dean Winchester. However, the show hasn’t always made the best choices with spinoffs. Wayward Sisters had a strong following but wasn’t developed, while The Winchesters moved forward despite creating some inconsistencies with the established storyline.
Following his work on Yellowstone, Kevin Costner directed and co-wrote the first installment of what he envisioned as a four-part Western saga. Chapter 1 was intended as just the beginning of a massive project, but it surprisingly flopped at the box office. While criticized for elements like the age difference in one of the relationships – specifically, Costner’s character Hayes – the film is actually quite strong. Horizon may be a bit rough around the edges in its first chapter, but it truly captures the spirit of classic Westerns better than most recent films.
Finn Wolfhard recently visited The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about the upcoming season of Stranger Things. While on the show, Wolfhard, who plays Will Byers, discussed some of the exciting stunts he performed in the new season.
Okay, so the big drama right now revolves around David Ellison’s Paramount-Skydance deal. They’re claiming Warner Bros. Discovery isn’t playing fair in the bidding, and seems to be really leaning towards Netflix. A memo leaked to CNBC details these accusations, saying Warner Bros. management is giving Netflix special treatment. Honestly, this isn’t surprising – the New York Post reported a while back that a lot of people inside Warner Bros. Discovery were quietly rooting for Netflix all along.
Marvel Studios has revealed that this was just a glimpse of the characters appearing in the next big team-up movie, sparking lots of fan speculation about how they’ll all connect and what the story will be. The fact that at least four different groups of heroes are involved seems particularly important.
When Blue Bloods ended in 2025-2026, its story continued with a new spinoff series called Boston Blue. Donnie Wahlberg reprises his role as Danny Reagan, but now he’s working as a police officer in Boston instead of New York, a change prompted by a health scare involving Sean. So far, Erin has made a guest appearance, and it’s expected that other family members will join the show as well.
Filming for The Batman — Part II is starting soon, and casting news is picking up. While rumors suggest Zoë Kravitz (Catwoman) and Cristin Milioti (Sofia Falcone, from The Penguin series) might not return, there’s talk of Oscar Isaac potentially joining the cast. However, the most solid news points to a major star from the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Scarlett Johansson. Reports initially indicated she was in discussions for a role, and now Deadline has confirmed those talks. Johansson joining The Batman Epic Crime Saga is a significant development, and fans are already speculating about which character she might play.
