I’m completely captivated by the story of Dunk! It’s amazing watching him journey to Westeros after losing Ser Arlan, and even more incredible that he picks up a squire, young Egg, along the way. He dreams of becoming a renowned knight, hoping to earn a place with a great house—he even dares to imagine serving the Targaryens! But as soon as the Targaryens and the Iron Throne appear, things naturally get complicated. What I love is that through all the drama, Dunk remains wonderfully down-to-earth. There’s a really endearing moment where, after a battle, he awkwardly tries to rally the crowd and then immediately asks Egg, “Was that ill-handled?” It’s just so him. The series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, premieres on HBO and Max on January 18th, and I can’t wait to follow their adventures each week!

The studio vowed to strongly oppose any outcome it disagrees with. It also promised to publicly voice its concerns if either streaming service succeeds in acquiring Warner Bros.

Sony has already successfully revived Will Smith’s older films, most notably the Bad Boys franchise, even during the pandemic. Now, they’re considering bringing back Men in Black, and it hinges on Smith’s willingness to participate. Deadline reports that Sony is working on a script by Chris Bremner, who wrote Bad Boys for Life, with the intention of offering Smith the first opportunity to star. While the size of his role is still uncertain, it’s unlikely they’d go to such lengths for a small part.

This trailer shows us more of Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), especially how he interacts with the nobility of Westeros. One character, a Targaryen you might not immediately recognize due to his hair color, shows him a surprising amount of respect.

The opening scene of The Godfather is famous for its memorable lines, especially Vito Corleone’s threat, “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.” However, his powerful response to the pleading Bonasera is equally striking, immediately establishing Vito as a man of unwavering principles and demanding respect.

Nicolas Cage is set to star as Spider-Man Noir in a new live-action superhero series. The show, developed by Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, is expected to debut in 2026.

Throughout the nine episodes, Carr transformed into a ruthless killer on the show. He shockingly eliminated national icon Celia Imrie and casually voted out fellow Traitor Jonathan Ross. In the end, he won by cleverly manipulating Faithful players Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga into eliminating Joe Marler instead of himself, even though Joe had been key in removing other Traitors. The series, which originally aired on the BBC in the U.K., quickly became a viral hit in the U.S. and is now available to stream on Peacock. Carr’s performance was a major reason for its success, and there are now reports that the BBC is considering bringing back his show, Chatty Man. Carr himself says, “In over 20 years on television, I’ve never seen a reaction to my work like this.”

The new trailer doesn’t have the iconic Queen song “We Will Rock You” playing during a tournament scene, nor does it feature a surprising dance sequence like in A Knight’s Tale. However, the show does offer some humor, with jokes that feel surprisingly modern for a fantasy setting. While this kind of anachronism—like the coffee cup mishap in Game of Thrones—might not fit the tone of those shows, it seems perfectly suited for the upcoming Dunk and Egg series and could be exactly what the world of Westeros needs.

Many Nintendo 64 games haven’t aged well, ranging from disappointing installments in popular series like Mario Kart 64 to once-loved titles like Space Station Silicon Valley that are now difficult to enjoy. While a few dedicated fans might still play them, most gamers would probably want to steer clear.

Most of the money earned by One Battle After Another came from overseas, with only $70.6 million coming from North America. Arrival, however, did much better in North America, bringing in $100.5 million – $30 million more than One Battle After Another. Interestingly, Arrival earned $30 million less internationally than One Battle After Another did.
