Based on When To Stream’s announcement, the horror movie “Sinners” is set to debut on digital platforms like Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video, and others starting June 3, 2025. This means viewers can purchase it and enjoy watching from home. Directed by Ryan Coogler, “Sinners” stands out as a unique blockbuster horror IP in an industry dominated by reboots, sequels, and interconnected franchises. Coogler has already demonstrated his box office prowess with the success of the first “Creed” film and both “Black Panther” movies, each breaking their own box office milestones.
The renowned actor Joe Don Baker has sadly passed away, leaving us with an impressive body of work that spanned various genres. Among his notable performances were those in “Walking Tall,” “Charley Varrick,” and “Cape Fear.” However, it’s within the James Bond franchise where he truly left a lasting impact. He wasn’t just any villain; he was a main antagonist. But what truly set him apart was his recurring role as an ally to 007, making him one of the rare few in the movies to do so. Although other actors have played dual roles in the franchise, Baker’s performances, particularly in these two roles, stand out prominently.

At the debut of “The Final Reckoning,” Cruise subtly hinted that the next Mission: Impossible film could mark the end of the series. On the red carpet, Cruise teased The Hollywood Reporter by saying, “it’s not called ‘final’ for nothing.” However, his fellow actors have expressed doubts about whether Cruise has truly concluded his portrayal of Ethan Hunt. Co-star Simon Pegg playfully suggested that, “I can’t imagine him giving up on the franchise,” adding that “I’d wager he’s got more running to do” and that he will “put those shoes back on and get back to work.
It appears that Ritchie spared no expense or effort in creating stunning sets for Apple TV+’s high-budget production, which featured Krasinski and Portman executing thrilling stunts. The series, described as a fusion of classic adventure stories like Indiana Jones and National Treasure, dares to lead actors and viewers into uncharted territory with Fountain of Youth. Directed by the same person behind The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, this modern take on Indiana Jones didn’t shy away from including edge-of-your-seat stunts; however, it seems that Portman and Krasinski weren’t fully prepared for a simulated drowning scene filmed within a fully submerged ship set.
Today, Deadline announced that Netflix won the rights for adapting the highly anticipated book, “The Secret of Secrets,” written by authors Brown and Cuse.

Five decades after the success of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” Douglas looked back on the process of producing that iconic drama. He acknowledged that dealing with Kesey was challenging, and described it as a “deep regret” that his bond with the author, whom Douglas respected, deteriorated into conflict. Douglas explained the root cause of the friction between producers and Kesey, which started when Kesey’s screenplay draft was initially turned down (as reported by Deadline).
