Dave Filoni’s promotion is likely to lead to exciting new developments for Star Wars, but it could also mean some planned projects get canceled. While shows like The Mandalorian & Grogu and the Star Wars: Starfighter series are probably secure, other movies and shows in earlier stages of development might not align with Filoni’s long-term plans. As Lucasfilm shifts its focus, these projects could be put on hold or scrapped altogether.

The recent re-release of the film, shown over two weekends (January 16-18 and 23-25), was a big hit, even doing better than brand new movies like Greenland 2: Migration. The first weekend featured extended versions, followed by the original theatrical cuts. A special treat for fans was an introduction and behind-the-scenes stories recorded by director Peter Jackson. He shared some fun facts, like how Viggo Mortensen cleverly concealed a black eye during filming of the cave troll scene in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Over the years, different versions of the Hulk have explored various genres – some focused on horror or tragedy, while more recent portrayals leaned towards comedy and relatable human stories. Even seemingly small details like his size, color, face, how he moves, and what he wears have become significant as the character has changed. From a truly terrifying monster in early adaptations, the Hulk has evolved across TV, movies, and reboots into a much more familiar – and less frightening – figure.

Re-Logic just released a new trailer on their YouTube channel showcasing the upcoming 1.4.5 Bigger & Boulder update for Terraria, which is scheduled to launch on January 27, 2026. The trailer quickly highlights several new features, including character portraits, new music for bosses, a special Skyblock seed, and other additions.

As a big mystery fan, I’m really excited about the upcoming Scarpetta series! It’s based on the novels by Patricia Cornwell and will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video starting March 11, 2026. Nicole Kidman is playing Kay Scarpetta, a brilliant forensic pathologist who uses cutting-edge science to crack tough cases. Kay’s Italian heritage and her work often take her all over the place as she investigates crimes. The show is being developed by Liz Sarnoff, who’s known for her work on shows like Lost and Barry, and Jamie Lee Curtis is joining the cast as Kay’s sister – it’s a fantastic lineup!

While it seems simple on the surface, Aidan Zamiri’s documentary The Moment doesn’t quite deliver. It tries to be both a genuine concert film and a mockumentary in the style of This Is Spinal Tap, but it doesn’t fully commit to either. Ultimately, it feels more like a carefully crafted publicity piece. The film follows Charli as she gears up for a tour, navigating sponsorships, media appearances, and even wardrobe choices. When the movie focuses on this hectic environment – the excitement around Brat Summer, for example – it’s engaging, and Zamiri effectively captures the energy and disarray. It’s often difficult to distinguish between what’s authentic and what’s been staged for comedic effect.

Michael Adkins is famous for his work in the Undisputed film series and for playing Killa Harkan in John Wick: Chapter 4. Besides starring in his own action movies, he’s appeared in popular films and shows like Netflix’s Day Shift and Doctor Strange. He recently appeared in The Rip, a new movie starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

The conclusion of Spider-Man: No Way Home dramatically altered Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) life, leaving him isolated despite continuing his work as Spider-Man. The next film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, will show Peter’s life before the events of Avengers: Doomsday. While it’s set to release on July 31, 2026, the story details haven’t been revealed yet.
