According to Deadline, A24 has acquired the rights to turn Laura Shepherd-Robinson’s new novel, We Are the Dead, into a TV series after winning a competitive bidding process.

It’s unclear who the main villain will be in this new series, and DC Studios hasn’t yet revealed much about the wider Green Lantern universe. Traditionally, Sinestro is Green Lantern’s first enemy, but this show seems to be heading in a different direction – more like a gritty drama reminiscent of Yellowstone. James Gunn’s leadership has generally involved exploring the stranger corners of DC comics, but this series appears to be leaning towards a darker, more serious tone, similar to Logan. Perhaps Nathan Fillion’s character, Guy Gardner, will bring some much-needed humor. We’ll have to wait until Lanterns premieres in August to find out.

The third season ended with a flurry of surprises, continuing a pattern of big reveals throughout the eight episodes. While Simon has returned to the real world, it’s discovered that the villain, Alfred, has taken over the body of Maddie’s mother, Sandra. And to top it off, the protective barrier is now failing.

There’s a little-known movie from 2000 starring Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. that didn’t do well when it first came out. The actors had previously worked together in the 1990 action-comedy Air America. This later film was a very unusual and hard-to-market blend of genres, but it’s unique in how it showcases both Gibson and Downey Jr. in roles unlike anything they’d done before, making it a surprising and interesting find for movie fans.

Recent changes at CBS continue following David Ellison’s appointment of Bari Weiss to lead the network. These changes include Anderson Cooper leaving 60 Minutes and Tony Dokoupil, previously on CBS Mornings, being moved to the evening news. Weiss emphasized Gayle King’s unique value, stating, “There is only one Gayle King,” and expressed the network’s pleasure in keeping her at CBS, both on the morning show and in developing new projects to showcase her skills to a wider audience.

The movie 47 Ronin was poorly received, earning only a 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and losing Universal around $175 million at the box office. However, over ten years later, the film is surprisingly gaining popularity on streaming services. This comeback mirrors a similar resurgence in the career of its star, Keanu Reeves, who has found great success with the John Wick movies.

According to reports, the highly anticipated Rick and Morty: The End #6, written by Daniel Kibblesmith with art by Jarrett Williams and colors by Alessandro Santoro, won’t actually be the series finale as many expected. That distinction will now go to Rick and Morty Forever #0, featuring art by Troy Little, and promises to expand the story in new directions.

Many fantastic TV plot twists don’t receive the recognition they deserve. A prime example is in the 2018 Netflix miniseries, The Haunting of Hill House, created by Mike Flanagan. Inspired by Shirley Jackson’s novel of the same name, the show centers on the unfortunate experiences of the Crain family.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Maggie Gyllenhaal explained that the final version of The Bride! is slightly different from her original cut. Warner Bros. executives asked her to tone down some of the more violent scenes. Gyllenhaal emphasized that she wanted to show the impact of every death in the film, making sure viewers knew something about the characters who were killed. She contrasted this with films where victims are anonymous, stating she wanted each death to feel meaningful and have consequences. She specifically mentioned a request made by Pam Abdy, co-president of Warner Bros. Pictures.
