As a huge fan of Stephen King, I’ve always been excited about the possibility of seeing The Talisman and Black House adapted for the screen. King really knows dark fantasy – The Dark Tower is legendary, and Fairy Tale is already heading to A24 as a series. For a while, it looked like the Duffer brothers, who brought so much fantasy to life in Stranger Things, were going to tackle The Talisman duology. But apparently, the sheer scale of the story, the budget it would require, and the challenges of bringing it to life visually proved too much. They ultimately decided to work on The Boroughs instead, which I totally understand – some projects are just massive undertakings!

Initially, Star Trek: Discovery was intended to be a series of unrelated stories. However, after the show’s original creator, Bryan Fuller, left the project, it was reimagined as a prequel taking place in the 23rd century. Fitting Discovery into the timeline just ten years before Star Trek: The Original Series proved difficult, as did other choices, such as drastically changing the look of the Klingons and introducing futuristic technology like the USS Discovery’s spore drive that felt out of place.

Shyamalan’s 2008 film, The Happening, is a sci-fi horror movie starring Mark Wahlberg as a teacher trying to survive a deadly airborne virus with his wife. While widely considered one of the most criticized blockbusters of the 21st century, it’s surprisingly close to being another brilliant film from this often-overlooked director.

Marvel Studios hasn’t yet featured Gwen Stacy in its Spider-Man stories, meaning Tom Holland’s Peter Parker hasn’t met her. But according to Jeff Trammell, the showrunner for the Disney+ series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Gwen Stacy will appear in the show’s second season.

Being a great band frontman isn’t just about singing well. While a strong voice is crucial, it’s not the only thing that matters. There are many singers with technically better voices than Mick Jagger, but few could command a stage and energize a crowd quite like him.

Krysten Ritter will return as Jessica Jones in the later episodes of Daredevil: Born Again. This marks her first appearance in a Marvel Cinematic Universe project since her Netflix series, Jessica Jones, concluded in 2019 – almost seven years ago.

During his time as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tom Holland’s character has faced a series of increasingly challenging villains. These include Vulture (Michael Keaton) in Homecoming, the trickster Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) in Far From Home, and ultimately a battle against multiple universes in No Way Home. That final fight brought back classic Spidey foes like Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), Electro (Jamie Foxx), Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), and Lizard (Rhys Ifans).

The last two decades have seen a wealth of fantastic turn-based RPGs, many considered true classics. These games demonstrate that strategic, turn-based battles can be as engaging and difficult as fast-paced action combat, and the ability to carefully consider your options is key to success. Plus, they often feature compelling stories and characters that have become memorable parts of the RPG landscape.

The original Phantom comic was a game-changer for the industry. The character drew inspiration from classic adventure heroes like Tarzan and the Shadow, but also introduced many of the elements that would define the modern superhero – think Batman, Superman, and Captain America. In fact, The Phantom is considered the first costumed superhero to appear in a comic book. Writer Reginald Hudlin is well-versed in the world of superheroes, having written Black Panther for Marvel Comics from 2005 to 2008, making him a great fit for this adaptation.

Warner Bros. is facing attention as a merger with Paramount and Skydance approaches. Paramount’s CEO, David Ellison, told movie theater owners at CinemaCon that the combined studios plan to release at least 30 movies each year. He also assured them that movies will play in theaters for at least 45 days before becoming available on streaming services after 90 days. Warner Bros. recently announced a very full schedule of 27 films planned for release in the coming years, and hinted that even more projects are on the way. Here’s a list of all the Warner Bros. movies currently scheduled to be released in 2027 and beyond.
