Netflix has announced the creation of Troll 2, the sequel to its globally acclaimed Norwegian monster movie, which will be released in 2025. The news follows the original film’s success, which enthralled international audiences and broke streaming records.
The first Troll film, which aired in December 2022, was a watershed moment for Netflix. It grossed an incredible 103 million views and became the platform’s most-watched non-English language film. Roar Uthaug, who developed the concept over two decades, will return to direct the sequel.
The film will have a new ensemble cast, including Sara Khorami, Jon Ketil Johnsen, and Gard B. Eidsvold. While precise narrative details remain unknown, the original film’s idea revolved around a huge 150-foot troll rising in the Norwegian highlands and destroying the country’s capital.
“The first film deliberately left room for further exploration,” said producer Kristian Strand Sinkerud, who had previously hinted at a possible sequel.

Netflix touted the fruits of its massive international content expansion, promising a vast slate of upcoming films and television series from across the globe.
Chief content officer Bela Bajaria, along with content executives from around the world, gathered in Los Angeles for the streamer’s first international showcase Tuesday. Along with debuting footage for major titles like “Squid Game” Season 2 from South Korea — Netflix’s most-watched series ever, returning Dec. 26, and already renewed for a third and final season — Colombia’s anticipated adaptation of “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” and more, Bajaria also celebrated how Netflix’s investment in fostering local talent and production internationally has lent to the creation of hits that resonate globally.
“It’s about trying to find the best version of every genre, rather than focusing on only one demo or sensibility,” Bajaria said during the presentation Tuesday, highlighting her approach to programming for an audience of 650 million people.

We have great news to share for fans of the hit French shark movie Under Paris. An Under Paris 2 is reportedly in development at Netflix, which means we're in for another crazy underwater adventure!
The first film was a smash hit when it landed on Netflix back in June 2024, eventually earning the title of the second most popular non-English movie on Netflix, right behind the epic monster film Troll. That's why it's not completely surprising that a sequel is in the works.
Also, the star of Under Paris, Bérénice Bejo, spilled in a recent interview with LA Tribune that production on a sequel will start in September 2025. However, there wasn't any confirmation at the time that an Under Paris 2 was actually in the works. Now, it seems that we have that confirmation.
According to Variety, French filmmaker Xavier Gens, who was behind the first movie, is currently working on the sequel.

Despite its seemingly final ending, the French shark thriller ‘Under Paris’ has paved the way for a sequel. According to Variety, filmmaker Xavier Gens is back at the drawing board, spurred by the film’s record-breaking debut as Netflix’s most-watched non-English language film with over 102.3 million views.
The forthcoming movie, set to begin production as early as September 2025, will bring back several key cast members.
Bérénice Bejo, known for her Oscar-nominated role in ‘The Artist’, returns as a grief-stricken activist. She’s joined by Nassim Lyes from ‘Mayhem!’, who will reprise his role as a cop.
In a recent discussion with La Tribune, Bejo shared her excitement about diving back into the chilling waters of the Parisian underground.
Although filming might kick off a bit later, possibly stretching into 2026, the anticipation is already high. ‘Under Paris’ initially caught viewers’ attention with its satirical edge and timely release before the Paris Olympics.

With its post-apocalyptic ending, the French shark movie “Under Paris” doesn’t necessarily lend itself — narratively speaking — to a sequel. But after scoring the best launch for a non-English language film on Netflix with more than 102.3 million views, filmmaker Xavier Gens is plotting a new underwater adventure, Variety has confirmed.
Key cast members — those who were not swallowed by sharks — will return, including Oscar-nominated “The Artist” actor Bérénice Bejo, who stars as a grieving activist alongside Nassim Lyes (“Mayhem!”) as a cop.
In a recent interview with La Tribune, Bejo claimed the sequel will start filming in September 2025. While sources close to the production confirmed to Variety that the project is indeed in development, it’s still in the early stages and shooting could start as late as 2026.

Scott Eastwood, the son of legendary actor and filmmaker Clint Eastwood, has carved his own path in Hollywood. But he always stated that his father’s influence went beyond the glitz and glamor of the entertainment industry.
Although the 38-year-old went on to follow in his father’s footsteps, he revealed that his father never pushed him to do it. In fact, the 94-year-old could not have cared less about what his son did as long as he was happy and doing a good job.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot cast is coming together in a promising way. We just learned that Golden Globe Award nominee Billy Campbell has joined the cast in an undisclosed role. I wonder who he could be playing in the slasher.
Campbell joins a growing list of actors who have already been announced to be in the cast, such as Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, and Jonah Haur-King.
Freddie Prinze Jr. was announced recently to have officially joined the cast, reprising his role of Ray Bronson from the original film and its 1998 sequel. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Brandy Norwood are also in talks to return in their roles as Julie James and Karla Wilson.
Additionally, Bodies Bodies Bodies star Chase Sui Wonders is currently in discussions about joining the cast of the upcoming Sony movie. However, who she will be portraying in the film is unknown.

American rock band Linkin Park may have left millions of fans heartbroken after announcing their indefinite hiatus back in 2017 following the unfortunate demise of their lead vocalist, but it has once again returned to bless fans’ ears with their soulful music. Though this time around, they have welcomed a new member in their league: Emily Armstrong, their exclusive lead vocalist.

A musician cum singer cum songwriter, Armstrong does have a well-known name, but inevitably not as well known as the boyband. So far, not much has been known about the artist, except that she is a part of the trio rock band Dead Sara and channels some really exceptional vocals. That said, here’s all we know about the grunge singer – including her current respective net worth.

*Warning — this article contains spoilers for The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power Season 2 Episode 7*
After months of hype and build-up, the Siege of Eregion finally arrived in The Rings Of Power Season 2 this week with the release of Episode 7, ‘Doomed To Die’. And with orcs and elves heading to war, the scales falling from Celebrimbor’s eyes as the true extent of Sauron’s manipulation is finally revealed, and fire scorching the night sky as the forces of darkness converge upon Middle-earth, it’s safe to say that things are getting pretty heavy for our heroes ahead of next week’s series finale. And not just heavy, but — thanks to the arrival of a certain Hill-troll — pretty heavy metal, too.

The music industry faced a major blow when Linkin Park’s lead vocalist Chester Bennington passed away in 2017, following which the rock band went on an indefinite hiatus. But a couple of weeks ago, the band announced that they’re officially making a comeback after seven years. Interestingly, they also announced a new vocalist for the group, who would be stepping in to perform Bennington’s parts during their concerts.

The singer was none other than Dead Sara’s Emily Armstrong, who herself has a rather controversial past. But the major criticism in this was what Bennington’s mother, Susan Eubanks, revealed about Mike Shinoda in a recent interview, which brought the rock band’s true intentions out into the open.

Gremlins may have stopped at only 2 movies and a recent animated TV show, but a lot of its imitators went on to make a killing in the sequel market. Sure, we had one offs like Munchies from Roger Corman and Goobers from the mind of Charles Band which should have rightfully stayed one and done but others wanted in on that franchise action. The Gate would have 2 entries as would Hobgoblins. Troll would get a few sequels, kinda, if you want to go down the rabbit hole of strange Italian sequels in name only that are just called that to capitalize on the profits of other movies and Ghoulies would somehow, miraculously, get 4 films although if I’m being honest, I actually enjoy watching that series. Critters also had 4 (initially) but has a much stronger legacy in terms of enjoyment and interesting background including the fact that even though it came out after Gremlins,...

Netflix’s latest comedy film Incoming was at the top of its class in its first full week on the streamer, racking up 16.9M views. That’s up 71% from its debut weekend to make it the most-watched title of the week.
Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg’s The Union stuck around on the English-language film list for another week as well, this time coming in second place. Its 16.8M views put it neck-and-neck with first place, but it experienced a steep decrease in viewership compared to the week prior, when it tallied more than 40M views.
The Deliverance took a minute to catch audiences’ attention since premiering on August 16, but this week it finally broke through the noise with 14.5M views, which was good enough for third place.
No other films on Netflix could compete this week, with fourth place going to the Nigerian film Tòkunbò, which managed 5.3M views.

"Wkrp in Cincinnati" may not be easy to find on streaming these days, but it's still a highlight in sitcom history. The show about a failing radio station run by a groovy and eccentric team was a hit in the '70s, garnering 10 Emmy nominations and the coveted Humanitas Prize before signing off after four seasons. Unfortunately, the show's heavy emphasis on popular music has made it a rare quantity today: according to MTV, the show didn't make it to DVD until 2007 in part because it was tricky to secure the rights to all of the songs featured in its original run. It's currently only available digitally if you buy it on Apple TV, and versions of the show available today are still reportedly missing some songs, with stock music added in their place.
Still, the ultra-'70s show is worth seeking out for comedy fans and music fans alike,...

The Star Wars franchise started its Hollywood journey back in 1977 with the George Lucas-helmed movie. Since then, it has produced many more projects, including live-action and animation, for both TV and movie. Its latest presentation is The Acolyte, a Disney+ series set at the end of the High Republic era. It happens all before the main story of the saga starts with the prequel series, and then the Skywalker series.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is spilling on her “worst” film ever.
The “Veep” Emmy winner and star of recent feature “Tuesday” said that 1986’s “Troll” is her critically worst movie.
“That’s easy. ‘Troll,'” Louis-Dreyfus replied when Seth Meyers asked for her bad flick during a “Day Drinking” segment during “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”
Meyers responded in shock, “I love ‘Troll’!”
Louis-Dreyfus quipped in return, “Shut the fuck up!” and threw water at him from across the bar.
“Troll” centered on a wizard who takes over an apartment building and possesses a young tenant. The film holds a 30 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and was a January 1986 release, if that says anything about its box office hopes.
Louis-Dreyfus recently told IndieWire’s Kate Erbland that deciding to star in Daina O. Pusić’s feature directorial debut “Tuesday” was an easy decision, despite the film’s premise being “super unusual.”

They say that on quiet nights you can hear the chants coming from small Norwegian villages, "More 'Troll,' more 'Troll,' More 'Troll!'" Indeed, fans of the Norwegian straight-to-Netflix creature feature "Troll" have been famished for more troll-on-human violence since the film's release in 2022.
Directed by Roar Uthaug, the accomplished filmmaker behind high-intensity spectacles such as "The Wave" and 2018's "Tomb Raider" reboot, "Troll" was something of a surprise hit on the streaming platform. Back in December of 2022, "Troll" scored the second spot on Netflix's coveted Top 10 Most Watched list, right behind the smash hit series "Wednesday." For a foreign film dropped on the platform with little to no marketing, that's majorly impressive. Even moreso: "Troll" went on to become Netflix's most-watched non-English film of all time.

Ah, Ghoulies – the other, other Gremlins knock-off. This label is something of unfair misnomer, as the first Ghoulies film was in production at the same time as Joe Dante’s classic film. This little franchise that could sit on a porcelain throne of cult appreciation alongside other Tiny Terror pictures like Critters and Troll. The […]

Annecy — “·Hello, I’m Margie Cohn, and I am president of DreamWorks….”
By that time, as she walked onto the stage at Annecy on Tuesday for a DreamWorks Animation presentation of upcoming titles, Dwa president Cohn’s self introduction had been drowned by a barrage of applause and yelps of approbation.
It’s hard to underestimate the goodwill that Universal’s DreamWorks Animation has built up over the years at Annecy, first by creating a studio as an alternative to Disney, and most recently by one of its crowning achievements, the “How to Train Your Dragon” movie trilogy, presented as works in progress at Annecy to reverent appreciation, and celebrated this year by a medley of special moments from the three movies and the presence on stage of director Dean Deblois.

Shrill doesn't get everything right in its depiction of internet trolling, but it engages with this vital modern issue in helpful ways.
Throughout the first season of Hulu's half-hour feminist comedy Shrill, Annie is vexed by a troll commenting on her articles. The troll follows the trajectory of Annie’s career – when she’s celebrating her first article and its great reception, the troll first appears, ready and waiting to knock her down. Hanging out with her friends? A notification: “pig fuck tit bitch cum hog.” When she publishes her own personal manifesto of reclaiming her body, an article that resonates with so many others, her troll comes out in force, invoking her father’s cancer.
For many women, the running troll plot on Shrill is all too familiar. It’s a reminder that no matter what women achieve, there will be always someone there to knock you back into place.

It took just a few months for the team at Goodbye Kansas Studios to create a stunning cinematic short demo called “Troll” using the latest version of Unreal Engine.
The short, directed and written by Deep Forest Films’ Björne Larson, shows a princess playing with a trio of fiery sprites before they’re scared away by some hidden, looming beast deep in a forest. The entire video was created using the Unreal Engine.
“I truly believe that the Hollywood engine is Unreal, a powerful story-telling tool for all game and film-makers,” Larson said.
After showing off the film, Unreal’s Nick Penwarden took to the stage at the Epic Games Gdc keynote to talk about some of the tech that went into creating the short. Specifically, he highlighted the creations use of real-time ray tracing, which allowed the creators to essentially light the digital human the same way filmmakers would in the real world.

Shrill has a complicated relationship with its source material but is nevertheless a fun half-hour Aidy Bryant party.
This is a spoiler-free review of Shrill.
What happens when you take the work of one of the sharpest feminist minds of our time and filter it through a feel-good half-hour comedy? I’m honestly not sure, and therein lies the problem.
Hulu has adapted Lindy West’s 2016 memoiristic essay collection Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman, which deals predominantly with themes of gender, size, popular culture, and what it means when women take up space, as a vehicle for the incredibly talented Aidy Bryant. The show isn’t a straight adaptation of West’s best-selling book, which is similar to her work as a staff writer for Jezebel, New York Times contributor, and co-founder of Shout Your Abortion, but rather a fictional show that’s inspired by its themes and sometimes...

“Captain Marvel” is set in the 1990s, so be ready for a nostalgic ride back in time when Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) takes us to Earth.
As seen in the trailer, Larson’s Captain Marvel crashes through the roof of a now-extinct Blockbuster Video store. But that’s not all of antique — and some extinct — items and objects we see in the movie — and TheWrap is here to round ‘em up.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus became just the sixth woman in a 20-year history to receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday, following in the footsteps of Tina Fey, Carol Burnett and Ellen DeGeneres.
The “Seinfeld” and “Veep” star accepted the award with style, delivering some sick burns at the expense of all the prior honorees.
“Tina was honored with the Mark Twain Prize, too. You know, before they got real serious about [it],” Louis-Dreyfus said during a ceremony at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in New York City.
Fey, who won the prize in 2011, applauded Louis-Dreyfus for being a performer who in “Seinfeld” didn’t feel the need to show a bare midriff in order to get attention.
“Julia’s not afraid to be unlikable — not onscreen and not in person. Just try sharing an elevator with her,...

In the early ’80s, small creatures called Mogwais forever changed the horror comedy landscape. The year was 1984 and Joe Dante’s Gremlins (written by Chris Columbus) became a smash hit for Warner Bros., bringing in over $153 million in North America alone and securing its spot as the number four highest grossing film of the year. The movie was a genre bender, opting for black comedy that lightly dipped its toes into horror waters (despite the warning to Not Get Them Wet!). These little guys were cute and cuddly (until you fed them after midnight), and were so immensely popular, they launched ginormous merchandising and marketing campaigns and spawned a cluster of knock-off movies all centered around small, weird, cutesy-gross little creatures. Ghoulies II was one of those movies.
Mostly unconnected to the original film, Ghoulies II follows the pesky little toilet monsters as they wreak havoc in an amusement park funhouse called Satan’s Den.

Without question, being a stepparent can be rough. It’s a balancing act between wanting what’s best for the child, and the need to ingratiate oneself and hopefully, earn and obtain love. This is a tightrope that Jerry Blake (Terry O’Quinn) has no interest in walking – if he can’t implement his perfect family plan, he switches policies in the most violent way possible. Welcome to the world of The Stepfather (1987), a pretty good thriller elevated to classic status due to a legendary performance by O’Quinn.
And while Jerry Blake has little patience for deviation from his ideals, so too do Henry Morrison and Bill Hodgkins – all identities that our stepdad creates in his twisted pursuit of perfection. (If at first you don’t succeed, kill and kill again.) The Stepfather proves that home is where the hurt is.

1986’s Critters sometimes feels like a summation of all those more popular monster comedies that came before.
Along with teen sex comedies, slasher films, and jingoistic action hero cartoons, the early-to-mid-‘80s, depending upon your taste, was a golden era for what might most simply be called monster comedies. So we got Gremlins, Ghoulies, C.H.U.D., Q, The Winged Serpent, Basket Case, Troll, a double handful of others and their ensuing sequels. If you wanted to push it some, you could even toss E.T. and Ghostbusters in the mix. Despite the contemporary settings, hip jokes and cultural references, most were clearly modeled after classic ‘50s sci fi and monster movies like The Blob, most were relatively mild and family friendly (at least when compared with the nihilism of the slasher films), and a number of them went on to make lots and lots of money.

In the wake of the success of Joe Dante’s classic Gremlins in the mid-’80s, movie theaters were flooded with low-budget horror movies about pint-sized creatures wreaking havoc on unsuspecting humans. No one took better advantage of this phenomenon than Charles Band, who would build a dynasty of films about little monsters first with his Empire Pictures and later with Full Moon Features—everything from Ghoulies to Puppet Master, Demonic Toys to Dolls. One of Empire’s first fantasy horror films about little monsters, 1986’s Troll makes its HD debut on Scream Factory’s Blu-ray alongside its notorious sequel, Troll 2, often considered one of the worst movies ever made.
The original Troll, directed by makeup effects legend John Carl Buechler in his feature debut, tells the story of the Potter family, recent transplants to a San Francisco apartment complex who begin to notice strange goings-on in their building,...

In an era where it's just about impossible to make a high-profile movie without at least something leaking onto the web, producer Jj Abrams seems to have pulled off the ultimate coup in recent months: he and his company Bad Robot have secretly created a follow-up, of sorts, to the 2008 hit monster movie, Cloverfield.
On the 15th January, a trailer landed for 10 Cloverfield Lane, a claustrophobic horror thriller that Abrams described in a statement to Collider as a "blood relative" of that earlier film directed by Matt Reeves.
The premise is this: Mary Elizabeth Winstead's character, Michelle, is injured in a car accident and wakes up in a bunker with 40-something survivalist, Howard (John Goodman).

Michael Moriarty and Julia Louis-Dreyfus star in this super-slimy scare-fest.
Troll 2: Those greedy goblins are back and hungrier than ever in this gourmet gross-out! Disguised as friendly country folk, a pugnacious posse of people-eating trolls lures visitors to their town. But a family of four is about to discover this place is a real tourist trap.
