Many of today’s most popular and well-received science fiction shows center around life after a catastrophe. While shows like The Last of Us and Fallout began as video games, others such as Silo and The Eternaut were inspired by books. Similar to The Eternaut, Netflix also features another post-apocalyptic series that’s based on a highly-regarded comic book.
It’s easy to doubt true stories in movies when they seem far-fetched, but that doesn’t mean they’re not real. Often, the most compelling films based on actual events are fascinating because of how unusual the stories are. While these movies might take some creative liberties, they’re all rooted in documented facts. From dramas to sci-fi and even horror, each film offers a unique take on real-life events, no matter how unbelievable they may seem. These movies prove that, sometimes, truth is much stranger than fiction.
Despite the film’s central mystery, Ebert had no interest in becoming involved and didn’t like the movie at all.
With so many different versions of Batman appearing in comics and other media, it’s still unclear which one the DC Universe’s Batman will be based on. However, Brandon Sklenar’s performance in The Housemaid makes it clear why he’s been a popular choice among fans hoping he’d get the role, and anyone questioning his acting ability should definitely check it out.
According to recent comments from Scardapane, the new Daredevil: Born Again series intentionally feels separate from the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, despite Daredevil having appeared in other MCU projects. He explained the creative team jokes about this by saying their version of the story is ‘downtown’ while other MCU stories are ‘uptown,’ suggesting a distinct, street-level focus.
Viewers are quickly tuning into Fall on Netflix, and the suspenseful movie has already become a hit. Just days after its February 18th release, it’s climbed into the top 5 most-watched films on the platform.
As a huge fan, I was so excited to see “Black Mirror” give us a follow-up to one of its classic episodes! It really got me thinking about other stories within that show that deserve to be explored further. “Black Mirror,” created by Charlie Brooker, is easily one of the best sci-fi series ever made, and it’s amazing to think it first came out in 2011. Now, we’re getting ready for the eighth season – I can’t wait!
Tom Hardy took over the role of Max from Mel Gibson in Fury Road, a film that faced over ten years of difficult development. The production was notoriously challenging, with early reports – many of which turned out to be true – suggesting a tense and unpleasant atmosphere, and that Hardy and his co-star, Charlize Theron, didn’t get along.
Although the Russo Brothers haven’t replicated the blockbuster success of Avengers, their film The Gray Man was encouraging. Starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, this action-packed spy thriller cost around $200 million to make and became one of Netflix’s biggest hits, ranking as the ninth most-watched film ever on the platform.
Peter Jackson’s film adaptation stayed true to many parts of Tolkien’s story, including specific details and dialogue. However, movies and books are very different, and Jackson did add a significant new element not found in the original book. Changes made by filmmakers often aren’t well-received, frequently feeling illogical, undermining the author’s vision, or drastically altering the story for fans. Fortunately, Jackson’s addition actually enhances the adaptation, adding depth and changing how we understand Frodo’s adventure.
