The biggest movie news you might have missed this week (August 12-16)
As a die-hard fan of Colleen Hoover and a seasoned moviegoer with a soft spot for family dramas, I am beyond excited about the upcoming adaptation of “Regretting You.” The stellar cast, led by Mckenna Grace and Allison Williams, promises to deliver an engaging tale that explores the complexities of a strained mother-daughter relationship.
To keep yourself informed about the latest happenings in the world of movies, consider this straightforward method:
As a long-time movie enthusiast who has been following the industry for years, I find it quite fascinating to see how quickly things can change and evolve within just one week. From the digital release of “Twisters” to the upcoming adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel, this past week has been particularly exciting for movie fans like myself. If you happen to have missed these major headlines, here’s a quick rundown:
As a longtime fan of sci-fi movies, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement as the release date for “Alien: Romulus” approaches. Having grown up watching the original Alien series and being an avid comic book reader, I can’t wait to see how this new installment will stack up against my favorites like Deadpool and Wolverine. The box office success of these films has set a high bar, but I have faith that “Alien: Romulus” will captivate audiences and reignite the passion for the Alien franchise that’s been dormant for too long. Here’s hoping for an epic space battle and some terrifying xenomorph action!
Should you choose to stay indoors, Netflix also provides an array of excellent options. Notably, our collections of top-rated thrillers, comedies, horror films, action movies, and family-friendly flicks offer a glimpse into the streamer’s finest content.
As you ponder your weekend entertainment choices, let me fill you in on the most significant movie news from the past week.
Alien: Romulus director Fede Alvarez explains title’s hidden meaning (EXCLUSIVE)
Viewers generally assumed that “Romulus” in the film would represent a ship name, similar to how “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant” did, and they wouldn’t be off-base with this assumption. In fact, “Romulus” is one of the two compartments situated on the defunct station called Renaissance, where the movie unfolds.
In addition, the film carries a subtle message linked to its themes, as director Fede Álvarez clarified exclusively to Digital Spy. He noted, “The primary relationships in the story are sibling relationships, either surrogate or biological. This allows for various perspectives on that topic.”
As a gamer, I found the movie to delve deep into various themes, but one that stood out was the complex bond between siblings and what it truly entails. What duties do we have towards each other? Are there any, or are we simply separate entities? Shouldn’t they watch over me, and I, in turn, care for them? How do I perceive this relationship? It’s a question that the movie left hanging, inviting us to ponder on our own perspectives.
“The tale of Romulus and Remus clearly shows a brotherly relationship that did not have a happy ending. In fact, Romulus ended up killing his brother Remus, making the mythological origins of Rome deeply intertwined with this tragic event.”
Twisters is now available to watch at home
Just a few weeks after its big-screen debut, I can finally bring the thrilling action of “Twisters” right into my gaming den! In the US, you can now rent or own this epic movie digitally on Prime Video, iTunes, and various other online platforms.
Warner Bros hasn’t announced a digital launch in the UK just yet, but you can already pre-order the movie “Twisters” on Amazon Prime Video so you can start watching it immediately upon its release.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m totally immersed in the thrilling sequel featuring Daisy Edgar-Jones, fresh from her role in “Normal People,” and Glen Powell, my favorite Top Gun pilot. This blockbuster has raked in an impressive $310 million at the worldwide box office and continues to dominate screens, even with its digital release and fierce competition from “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “It Ends With Us.” Talk about a tough act to follow!
Colleen Hoover’s Regretting You getting movie adaptation after It Ends With Us success
Following the success of It Ends With Us, another Colleen Hoover adaptation is in the works.
2019 novel “Regretting You” by Hoover is being adapted into a movie featuring Mckenna Grace, who starred in both “Ghostbusters” and “The Handmaid’s Tale,” as well as Allison Williams from “Girls.” The movie will delve into the tense bond between 16-year-old Clara and her young mother Morgan, showcasing their complex relationship.
In the face of growing discord, it’s Chris – Morgan’s spouse and Clara’s dad – who holds the potential to restore harmony within their home.
The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone has signed on to direct the adaptation.
First look at Jacob Elordi and Daisy Edgar-Jones in new movie
Actors Jacob Elordi from “Euphoria” and Daisy Edgar-Jones of “Normal People” will be featured in the upcoming drama film titled “On Swift Horses“, scheduled to debut at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. This week, we were given a sneak peek of these talented actors in action for the movie.
According to Shannon Pufahl’s novel, the film unfolds around Muriel and Lee, a pair recently married and back from the Korean War. However, their tranquil life takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Lee’s charming younger sibling Julius, a man with a secretive past as a gambler.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3‘s Will Poulter and Babylon‘s Diego Calva also star in the movie.
Kraven the Hunter’s new trailer confirms Spider-Man villain
Previously, fans were given a glimpse of the first Kraven the Hunter trailer more than a year back. However, it was only in the most recent trailer (released this week) that we finally caught a peek at Alessandro Nivola as Aleksei Sytsevich, also known as the Rhino.
In the upcoming Sony-Marvel cinematic universe film, Aaron Taylor-Johnson will portray the infamous villain Kraven the Hunter (also known as Sergei Kravinoff). This character is a skilled big-game hunter who aims to outwit and conquer Spider-Man in order to establish himself as the greatest hunter on Earth.
According to the most recent trailer, Nivola’s Rhino makes an appearance during a transformation sequence, and he then queries another character regarding Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven.
Kaya Scodelario’s horror hit to get an unexpected sequel
Kaya Scodelario’s critically-acclaimed alligator horror Crawl is getting a sequel!
In a return to the director’s chair following his work on the initial film released in 2019, Alexandre Aja is set to produce as well, along with Craig Flores and the creator of Evil Dead, Sam Raimi.
In the fall of this year, the next installment will start filming across Europe, though it’s expected that Scodelario won’t be part of it. The narrative is rumored to present a fresh tale with brand-new characters, as the setting shifts from Florida to New York City.
