For some fans of genre storytelling, 2024 has been a bit of a disappointing year. The Boys season 4 didn't over with fans quite as well as past installments, the House of the Dragon showrunners are feuding publicly with George R.R. Martin, and the latest Star Wars content from Disney+ — The Acolyte — was extremely divisive among fans. Since these were some of the most highly anticipated and high-budget genre series of the year, it has left many fans of genre storytelling feeling a bit morose. There have been bright spots: the historical fiction series Shogun crushed it at the Emmy’s and I personally am really enjoying the return of The Legend of Vox Machina. But whether because of last year’s acting and writer’s strikes or because new seasons of shows are taking longer than ever to reach our screens, 2024 is definitely not the year that it could have been.

Earlier this year, it was announced that actor Jay Hernandez, whose credits include Magnum P.I., Hostel, and Suicide Squad, would be making his feature directorial debut with with the survival horror thriller Night Comes, working from a screenplay he wrote with Jason Bourque and Nancy Isaak. The film stars Dafne Keen and Samantha Lorraine – and now an image from the Night Comes production has been unveiled, giving us our first look at the characters played by Keen and Lorraine. That image can be found at the bottom of this article.

Coming our way from Impossible Dream Entertainment and the production and financing outfit Big Picture Cinema Group, Night Comes will unfold against the backdrop of a cataclysmic event that threatens to engulf humanity. Two sisters manage to escape the horror only find themselves thrust into a perilous struggle for survival, tasked with a mission that holds the fate of mankind in the balance.

Young actor Harry Collett is best known for his work on House of the Dragon, where he plays Jacaerys Velaryon, aka Jace. Jace had a frustrating time in the show's second season. He has his own dragon, Vermax, that he can ride, but as the son of future queen Rhaenyra Targaryen he was discouraged from riding it lest a political rival shoot him out of the sky. His mother burdened him with the knowledge of a prophecy which every Targaryen ruler must work to fulfill, and he feels his birthright is threatened by a bunch of a new peasant dragon-riders who are putting their feet up on tables and using the flatware wrong and generally classing down the place.

How do you relax in a situation like that? Sometimes you need to let it all hang out. This is all a very tortured segue into telling you that Harry Collett...

There are several aspects in which Vinland Saga sets itself apart from other series. It has especially to do with its compelling storyline. Makoto Yukimura’s story blends fiction and history perfectly. His intricate art and finesse are the cherry on top.

With more than 7 million copies sold worldwide, the series is a true bestseller. But that is not all. The series lives up to its title as a bestseller in most aspects. Especially the mangaka’s brilliant writing.

Yukimura san is praised for his fleshed-out characters. From Einar to Snake, the characters outline layers of complexities. This also applies to Thorfinn’s journey as well.

The mangaka opens up about the character’s philosophy in an interview. The way of life is intermingled with morals and ethics in the storyline.

The year is almost over, but 2024 has plenty of sci-fi and fantasy goodness to serve us before we ring in a new one. Below, check out some of the biggest movies and TV shows worth checking out in November, with an emphasis on the strange, the wondrous and the fantastical:

Arcane season 2: November 9 (Netflix)

The second and final season of Netflix's Emmy-winning animated series Arcane drops this November, and it promises to have even more magic, bloodshed, and brutal twists and turns than the first. This show may be based off the League of Legends video game, but don't let that fool you; Arcane has a story that's on par with anything the genre has to offer. It primarily follows two sisters, the bruiser Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and chaotic criminal Jinx (Ella Purnell), as they are torn from their humble roots and pitted against each other in a devastating class war.

The seventh edition of Egypt’s prestigious El Gouna Film Festival (Gff) kicked off on Thursday with a star-studded opening ceremony. The event celebrated a return to form after smaller events in recent years. Fireworks lit up the night sky as international celebrities arrived on the red carpet in El Gouna, a resort town on the Red Sea.

A highlight of the evening was honoring veteran Egyptian actor and filmmaker Mahmoud Hemida. Festival director Inas ElDeghedy called Hemida “an artist with the soul of a child” who always took chances. In his acceptance speech, Hemida expressed joy that the festival founders fulfilled a dream of his by creating a cultural and cinema hub in Marsa Alam. Although Hemida couldn’t build the facility himself, Naguib and Samih Sawiris brought his vision to life through the festival.

Stars from around the world attended the opening, including “Game of Thrones” actress Sibel Kekilli,...

Though it started back in 2013 and raged on for six seasons till 2020, Vikings continues to be regarded as one of the greatest historical drama series of all time. Created, written, and tamed by Michael Hirst, it originally encompassed a story – which continued to span across decades – inspired by the legendary hero from Norse mythology, Ragnar Lodbrok.

A Viking, Ragnar is embodied perfectly by Travis Fimmel and is initially portrayed as a farmer from the Kattegat. But his ordinary storyline turns extraordinary when he rises to fame by carrying out victorious raids into the English territory before eventually transforming into a Scandinavian king with his family and fellow warriors’ support.

Amazon MGM Studios is doubling down on its original film business.

The studio arrives at MIPCOM Cannes with nearly all its eggs in Earth Abide‘s basket, an original series starring Alexander Ludwig (Vikings) and Jessica Frances Dukes (Ozark). The show is a post-apocalyptic tale, based on George R. Stewart’s 1949 novel, about the fall of civilization from deadly disease — which Chris Ottinger, head of worldwide distribution, Amazon MGM Studios, says represents “a lot of the feeling of now, when it’s a very strange time to be on this earth.”

The executive sat down with The Hollywood Reporter in Cannes to discuss the studio’s slate of shows and films getting their distribution launch at MIPCOM including the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Accountant 2 and the sequel to A Simple Favor.

Nestled on the Suffolk coast lies the small town of Wellington-on-Sea, home to familiar Christmas characters like Santa and young Danny, Sam, and Charlie. In That Christmas, a new animated film from acclaimed writer Richard Curtis and director Simon Otto, the days before December 25th bring winter storms, moments of chaos, and crises for locals—yet also opportunities for imagination, connection, and joy.

Voiced by veteran actor Brian Cox, Santa rides through a nasty blizzard to deliver gifts. But guidance from lighthousekeeper Bill helps steady the sleigh. We also meet Danny, a new boy with parents divided, nursing a crush on Sam while she worries over her mischievous twin Charlie.

Today, MGM+ announced the renewal of Billy the Kid, starring Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), for an eight-episode third and final season. The epic romantic adventure inspired by the life of America’s most infamous outlaw continues in season three.

The Lincoln County War may be officially over, but both Billy the Kid and Sheriff Pat Garrett have important issues to resolve — there is a reckoning to come. Billy is still at large, and Garrett is out to capture him, dead or alive.

With a bounty on his head, Billy has the opportunity to quit New Mexico altogether and pursue a future with Dulcinea, the love of his life. But he has unfinished business with Garrett, who has betrayed him and decides to stay.

Meanwhile, Jesse Evans, Billy’s longtime friend, rival, and enemy, also remains in Lincoln, searching for a newfound purpose and perhaps atonement for his sins.

“Billy the Kid” will be returning to MGM+ for a third and final season in 2025. The renewal comes as Season 2 was among the platform’s top three most viewed original series in the history of the network.

Starring Tom Blyth (“The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”), the Western drama centers around the titular 19th century outlaw. This upcoming eight-episode season will pick up in the aftermath of the Lincoln County War. Though the war is over, Billy and Sheriff Pat Garrett (Alex Roe) still have their own personal battle to fight as Garrett is determined to capture Billy, dead or alive. But instead of fleeing New Mexico with the love of his life Dulcinea (Nuria Vega), Billy’s unfinished business with Garrett convinces him to stay.

At the same time, Billy’s longtime frenemy Jesse Evans (Daniel Webber) decides to stay in Lincoln for more wholesome reasons.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is just about everything fans who’ve waited for a sequel hoped it would be, an improvement on all fronts. From its explosively gory combat and incredible visuals to a deeply immersive campaign that no one expected would be as good as it was, it’s no surprise that the game is a critical darling.

Space Marine 2 is a stunning action game that is sure to appeal to fans of both action games and the larger Warhammer universe. Image Credit: Saber Interactive.

It’s also quite satisfying to know that the game has received critical acclaim and high sales. With the game selling over 2 million copies across different platforms in just two days, Focus Entertainment wanted to celebrate the occasion with something a little special for the players.

Update: Shortly after this story was first publishd on Monday, a spokesperson for Tablo parent company E. W. Scripps said the company plans to address the server outage in a number of ways, to include deploying a software update that will allow customers to watch broadcast TV channels without an active Internet connection. To read the updated story, click or tap here. The original story follows below.

A server outage on Sunday prevented users of the newest-generation Tablo DVR from watching live or recorded programming on their devices.

The outage started Sunday around 12 p.m. Eastern Time (9 a.m. Pacific Time), just as football fans were sitting down to watch games from the National Football League’s (NFL) first week of the regular season on their local CBS and Fox broadcast stations.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is nearly here and the voice behind Captain Demetrian Titus just got married before the official release date. Clive Standen stepped in to replace Mark Strong from the original game and is taking it all in as the lead of arguably one of the most highly-anticipated games of the year. Strong couldn’t reprise his role for reasons unknown and Standen was the perfect candidate to bring Titus to life.

Recasting can make or break a project; however, it seems like Standen has the acting chops to deliver a stellar performance. Acting can take a toll on an actor’s life but Standen remembered to look at the bigger picture and prioritize his significant other on their special day.

As the game receives critical acclaim for its faithful adaptation of the beloved universe, some players are beginning to wonder about the length of the campaign. But before you grab your chainsword and start revving it in anticipation, let’s take a closer look at what Space Marine 2 has to offer.

With a re-release of the game now available, with some updates and additions, here’s a new look at A Feast For Odin…

Certain things in popular culture – whether movies, games, records or even board games – come with an aura of expectation around them that can be a little unfair. In the board gaming world, products that fall into this category are often the massive Kickstarters’ from Cmon or Restoration Games. For some board gamers (perhaps the more serious kind) new Uwe Rosenberg games are far more exciting than any game featuring a bucketload of miniatures. When A Feast For Odin was announced, it was seen as his magnum opus, which only added to the hype.

And, jumping straight to conclusions, it’s well deserved. A Feast For Odin comes in one of the largest and most densely packed boxes that I’ve ever encountered, with literally hundreds of components to punch,...

Antony Starr garnered widespread appreciation for playing the villain Homelander in Amazon Prime’s The Boys. His eccentric nature leading to some of the most gruesome moments is one of the significant highlights of the show. Recently, in the penultimate season of the show, we got one of the most disgusting scenes when Homelander ripped Webweaver from the middle.

The scene of Webweaver’s death | Credits: Amazon Prime

Although the fans expected to see such a Spider-Man knockoff in the middle of Season 4, it was shocking to see the character getting such a brutal death. However, what is more shocking is the fact that Antony Starr almost became Homelander in the scene by sharing a weird character trait with the supe.

The Boys never fails to surprise its fans with some of the most unhinged and horrendous sequences.

Former Vikings stars Clive Standen and Lucy Martin got married in Provence, France, on August 31, Us Weekly confirmed. The couple got engaged in 2023 after reconnecting at a Vikings reunion event in Berlin two years ago. The intimate wedding only had 70 guests. They celebrated their love with a short ceremony at Le Castellas in Saint-Victor-la-Coste. Although the day was described as perfect by both of them, some blips occurred, such as Martin forgetting to pull her veil down. “The first thing she said when she got the mic, she was just like, ‘Oh, sh*t! I forgot to put the veil on, gonna do it again,” Standen revealed. This interaction quickly made everyone laugh. Standen, who’s currently on The Morning Show, spoke candidly about the love fest that occurred. “I got to the point where she’s my person and I don’t want to spend an ounce of my life without her anymore,...

Don't let anyone tell you Westerns are dead. They're apparently still alive and well on Netflix, where this week the docudrama "Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War" has been steadily climbing the streaming charts. According to viewership data site Flixpatrol, the series about the early American lawman is currently being bested in the top 10 most-watched English-language Netflix shows chart by just two other series: true crime docuseries "American Murder: Laci Peterson" and inexplicably popular girlboss rom-com "Emily in Paris."

If your Boomer dad hasn't yet told you about "Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War," let us do the honors. It's a six-episode Netflix-exclusive series that's a hybrid of narrative nonfiction, talking-head documentary, and intense reenactments. Here's the official synopsis that accompanied the show's trailer on YouTube: "The legendary feud between Wyatt Earp and Ike Clanton unfolds through vivid reenactments in this gritty docudrama about the gunfight that defined an era.

Move over, Robert Downey Jr., there's a newly resurrected Marvel star in town. Well—it's not as exciting as an Rdj return, but it's still notable: according to The Hollywood Reporter, James Spader will reprise the role of Ultron in the upcoming Vision series for Disney+.

Exclusive: After a successful summer with Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Alexander Ludwig has been tapped to star alongside Dafne Keen and Samantha Lorraine in Night Comes, the forthcoming horror thriller marking the feature directorial debut of veteran actor Jay Hernandez (Suicide Squad).

Details as to Ludwig’s role are being kept under wraps. Drawing inspiration from films like Birdbox and The Descent, Night Comes unfolds against the backdrop of a cataclysmic event that threatens to engulf humanity. Two sisters manage to escape the horror only to find themselves thrust into a perilous struggle for survival, tasked with a mission that holds the fate of mankind in the balance.

Written by Hernandez, Jason Bourque and Nancy Isaak, the indie hails from Impossible Dream Entertainment and Big Picture Cinema Group, the latter of which is co-financing with Versatile Media. Impossible Dream’s Shaun Redick and Yvette Yates Redick will produce alongside Big Picture Cinema Group’s Jayce Barriero and Jacky Lai, with Hernandez, Keen, Jared Zhang, Graem Luis, Jason Bourque, Joseph Tuck, Steve Read and Matthew Chow exec producing.

Production kicks off in Vancouver in September. The Exchange is handling worldwide sales and will be introducing the project to buyers at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival.

Stated Big Picture’s Co-Founder and President, Barreiro, “Alexander has so much range and gravitas – it’s going to be fun for audiences to see the depths he goes to opposite Dafne and Samantha on this intense ride.”

As previously mentioned, Ludwig is coming off of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the fourth installment of the buddy cop action franchise from Sony, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. In it, he reprised his role as Dorn, tech expert for Advanced Miami Metro Operations, which he originated in 2020’s Bad Boys for Life. One of the summer’s big hits, the film grossed over $401 million worldwide.

In film, Ludwig’s other credits include Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, The Hunger Games and Lone Survivor, to name just a few. Also known for roles in Starz’s wrestling drama Heels and History Channel’s Vikings, the actor is represented by Gersh and Untitled Entertainment.

Dune: Part Two was a big hit for Warner Bros. Discovery earlier this year. There's a third Dune movie on the way, but Wbd has lots of other ideas for how to milk this series. Later this year, they're premiering Dune: Prophecy, a six-episode miniseries set thousands of years before the Dune story we know. Paul Atreides won't be born for generations yet. We'll see the formation of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood and get to know characters like Tula Harkonnen (Olivia Williams), Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson) and Desmond Hard (Travis Fimmel). The Max Twitter account just gave us an advance look at Fimmel, a veteran of Vikings, in the role of Desmond:

As the tweet says, Dune: Prophecy is coming out in November. Neat. However, this actually isn't the first version of this tweet.

With less than a month to go until the highly anticipated release of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, the hype train is reaching critical mass, and the wait for die-hard Warhammer fans will soon be over!

And who better to stoke the flames of excitement than the game’s star himself, Clive Standen? The Vikings actor, known for his portrayal of the fierce Rollo, is bringing that same intensity to his role as Lieutenant Titus in the upcoming action extravaganza.

Standen Swaps His Viking Axe for a Chainsword

In a video released shortly after Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2‘s announcement at The Game Awards 2021, Standen showed off his Warhammer pride in the most epic way possible: by donning an Imperium-themed Christmas sweater and wielding a life-size Chainsword that, in and of itself, is enough to make any fan weak in the knees:

With his trademark charisma on full display, Standen declared:

I have a new character,...

The second season of House of the Dragon is over and we likely won't see season 3 until sometime in 2026. But we will get to revisit Westeros before that. Next year, HBO will debut a new Game of Thrones prequel series called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas by George R.R. Martin.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is an altogether smaller story than we saw in either Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon. There's no massive war afoot; there's just a very tall knight named Ser Duncan the Tall and his diminuitive squire Egg, who wander the Seven Kingdoms having adventures. The first season will be based on Martin's story "The Hedge Knight," which begins with Dunk entering himself into a tournament in Ashford Meadow in the Reach. There he'll meet a variety of characters, including a member of...

It’s been a rollercoaster ride lately for Space Marine 2 fans and Warhammer 40K followers. Henry Cavill’s much-hyped project with the franchise involving Amazon seems to have hit a dead end, with no news or updates.

Meanwhile, the new Space Marine game seems to be coming along nicely. And now, it looks like Amazon is throwing fans an unexpected lifeline, unrelated to Cavill’s project.

Space Marine 2’s Titus Will Be Under Amazon’s Spotlight

Cavill’s Warhammer project of his dreams might not be happening due to licensing issues, but that doesn’t mean Amazon is completely done with the franchise.

Deadline recently reported that the mega-company is working on a new anthology series titled Secret Level in collaboration with Tim Miller and his Blur Studio, the same creative minds behind Love, Death, and Robots on Netflix.

If seeing another title gets added to the short list of...
