Just before The Super Mario Bros. Movie comes out on April 1st, Nintendo shared a short, 10-second trailer highlighting Rosalina and her key abilities as they’ll appear in the film.
It’s become common for sequels, spin-offs, prequels, remakes, and reboots to disappoint fans. Often, these projects seem less about original ideas and more about making money by revisiting familiar characters, settings, and stories that people already love.
Rod Blackhurst’s new film, Dolly, tries to capitalize on a current horror trend, but ultimately falls short. Like Damien Leone, Blackhurst aims for extreme thrills and achieves that in some ways. However, Dolly lacks self-awareness or a consistent tone, preventing it from reaching the same level as other films in the genre.
Critical Role’s animated series, The Legend of Vox Machina, has been released yearly, with a planned break in 2025 for the new series, The Mighty Nein. Prime Video has announced that season four of The Legend of Vox Machina will premiere on June 3, 2026, with three new episodes released each week.
Crossovers between TV shows usually happen to promote other programs owned by the same company. For example, NBC might have characters from its Chicago dramas face a big crisis together, or CBS could have people from The Young and the Restless appear on its newer soap opera, Beyond the Gates. So, when fans of Rookie and Dropout saw this week’s crossover, they might have assumed it was a similar marketing move. However, Rookie’s creator, Alexi Hawley, says the idea was much simpler: he was just a big fan of Dropout and wanted to collaborate with them. He reached out to Sam, Dropout’s creator, with the idea, even admitting they didn’t know each other, and asked if a crossover was possible.
Ever since the TV show Game of Thrones was popular, people have talked about making a movie. Recently, The Hollywood Reporter interviewed George R.R. Martin, the author of the A Song of Ice and Fire books, and reported that Warner Bros. is seriously considering a new project. This could be a spin-off series or a large-scale movie, similar to Dune, focusing on the story of Aegon Targaryen – the first Targaryen king – and his conquest of Westeros after leaving Valyria. Essentially, it would tell the story of how the Iron Throne came to be!
This period saw a surge in films similar to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, with essential classics ranging from A Touch of Zen to The One-Armed Swordsman. Importantly, the original story that inspired Ang Lee’s popular film also received its own excellent movie adaptation – and even a follow-up – during this time.
After a long break, horror movies are popular in theaters again. The trailer for the new Scary Movie 6 is entertaining, blending classic references like Jason Voorhees on the subway with a funny take on the famous scene of kids running. However, including more subtle nods to popular horror franchises could make the latest film from the Wayans Brothers clever and surprising, instead of just relying on predictable jokes.
