Despite the nearly four-hour combined length of the two It movies, director Andy Muschietti and his sister Barbara had to remove some plot points – some of which actually improved the films. For years, they’ve hinted at combining both movies into a single, extended cut. While they’ve been working on the spin-off series It: Welcome to Derry, they recently confirmed to /Film that the supercut is still planned. Andy Muschietti explained to the website:

Many martial arts movies focus on a single hero battling a villain, but some of the most popular ones feature a team of skilled fighters. This approach has created several memorable films, like the 2021 movie Mortal Kombat.

Ben Wheatley, the director of Meg 2: The Trench, recently discussed the possibility of a third Meg movie. He had mentioned in 2023 that Meg 3 could happen if the second film did well at the box office. However, despite The Trench‘s financial success, Wheatley says he hasn’t heard anything about progress on a third film.

As a long-time fan, I remember those big disaster episodes becoming a regular thing on the show, and the Season 6 finale was particularly unforgettable. It was so relevant for the time – they actually had an active shooter storyline in the hospital, and everyone was talking about it! Those intense episodes were some of the best TV for years, until a new medical drama came along in 2025. Their first season also had a huge, chaotic event, but it was different enough from what Grey’s Anatomy did that it felt fresh and, honestly, sometimes even better.

Even though The Big Bang Theory wrapped up Howard’s story nicely, he’s become one of the most memorable supporting characters in sitcoms. The show simply wouldn’t have worked without his clumsy jokes and unsuccessful attempts to flirt. Now, Simon Helberg, the actor who played Howard, is starring in a new show where he’ll play a character who is the complete opposite – a stark contrast to the lovable, awkward Howard we all know.

The Apple TV thriller follows three close friends – Nancy, Beth, and Eleanor – all of whom are hiding things from each other and the world. They carefully maintain a flawless public image, but when Nancy is murdered, their carefully guarded secrets start to come to light.

The recently released trailer shows this new series is boldly taking its own direction, and it’s not holding back. Because it’s a series on HBO, it has more time to delve into the story than the previous movies did. Let’s explore some of the biggest changes from the films and how the show is staying closer to the original books by J.K. Rowling.

In the short film, Diemer portrays Jack Merrifield, a baseball player in the minor leagues who has potential but struggles with consistency. Jack feels pressure to meet his father’s high expectations and, driven to succeed, begins using steroids. This decision leads to a risky and damaging change in his physical and mental state.

Let me tell you, working within the sitcom format is brutally exposing for creators. Unlike other genres, there’s almost nowhere to hide. If a horror series isn’t initially frightening, or a drama doesn’t immediately grab you, audiences are usually willing to give it a chance to build tension or emotional depth. But with a sitcom? You’re under the microscope from episode one. It either works, or it doesn’t, because we’ve seen so many of them, we instantly know what it should be.

The new film, Unchosen, stars Molly Windsor (known for War of the Worlds) as Rosie, a woman living in a strict Christian community. The film’s trailer reveals that the women in this community are controlled and forced into servitude by the male leaders. Rosie’s beliefs are challenged when she meets Sam, played by Fra Fee, who recently appeared in Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon films on Netflix.
