The show centers around Guy Anatole, played by Nicholas Denton, a psychic who’s reluctant to work with Helen (Elizabeth McGovern) from a secret organization called the Talamasca – they keep track of everything supernatural. He changes his mind when Helen tells him his mother is actually alive and offers to help him find her, if he’ll help her stop a vampire who’s gotten inside the Talamasca’s London headquarters. Guy quickly gets pulled into a complicated world of vampires, witches, and other supernatural beings, all while being caught in a dangerous spy game.

It’s unusual for a movie series to start as merely okay and then become truly exceptional with each new installment. Typically, sequels are disappointing, but this franchise is a remarkable exception. Over nearly thirty years, it has grown into a major force in filmmaking, proving that a series can actually improve over time.

A fan account, @UnBoxPHD, recently shared the first photos of Mark Ruffalo on the set of the upcoming film in London. He was wearing a large green coat, probably to stay warm between shots, but also potentially to hide his costume. Notably, Ruffalo didn’t appear to have any motion capture markers on his face, hinting that he’ll be playing Bruce Banner in his human form for this scene. This is a change from his recent appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he’s mostly been playing the merged form of Bruce Banner and the Hulk – known as Smart Hulk – since Avengers: Endgame.

In Dispatch, you play as Robert Robertson, also known as Mecha Man. After a dramatic opening, he’s forced to retire from crime-fighting and takes on a new job: managing a team of former supervillains who are trying to become heroes. The game is best described as a funny look at the world of superheroes and workplace dynamics, and it really delivers on that promise. It’s packed with choices, dialogue, and quick action sequences, combined with strategic puzzle-solving. While the overall story is still unfolding, the first two episodes are a strong beginning.

In an interview with Empire, Matt Duffer, one of the creators of Stranger Things, discussed the character of Dr. Kay, explaining she’s a government agent pursuing Eleven. He shared that actress Winona Hamilton will be playing a villainous role, a departure from her heroic portrayal of Sarah Connor in The Terminator.

For me, horror really took off when sound was added to movies, and especially when Universal started making those classic monster films. Since then, it’s been amazing watching the genre evolve – we’ve had everything from really artistic, ‘prestige’ horror to the straightforward thrills of monster movies, the intensity of slashers, the immersive feel of found footage, and even horror that playfully acknowledges its own tropes. It feels like each of these different styles had at least one film that truly pushed things forward and changed how we think about scary movies.

While Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere might gain popularity like last year’s Bob Dylan documentary A Complete Unknown, overall, movie theaters are still expected to have a slow month. There’s a strong possibility that KPop Demon Hunters and Sinners will outperform the new releases during the Halloween weekend.

I was watching the UK version of Celebrity Traitors recently, and something hilarious happened. It was Celia Imrie – you might know her from The Thursday Murder Club on Netflix – who was the one responsible! They were all getting ready for a challenge, trying to boost the prize money, and I guess the pressure got to her because she… well, let out a little fart! It was a genuinely funny moment.

Last week, CBS launched Boston Blue, a new series expanding the world of Blue Bloods, as part of its 2025 lineup. The premiere brought Donnie Wahlberg back as Danny Reagan, who traveled to Boston after his son, Sean, was hurt. There, he teamed up with Detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green) from the Boston PD. In addition to Bridget Moynahan reprising her role as Erin Reagan, Marisa Ramirez returned as Maria Baez, and she’s recently hinted at some difficult times ahead for her character and Danny.

Jason Statham shared a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming film The Beekeeper 2 on Instagram, alongside director Timo Tjahjanto. They’re promising another action-packed thriller following the success of last year’s The Beekeeper. The sequel introduces Statham as a secretive assassin on a revenge mission that leads him right to the White House. With the first film setting the stage, The Beekeeper 2 has the potential to be a truly thrilling and exciting action movie. Statham simply captioned the photo, “Round 2 #Beekeeper2,” and you can see the new image of them filming below.
