Movie Villains Who Actually Had a Point (They Were Just… Very Dramatic About It)
Villains in movies have a habit of ruining their own argument. Not because their point is bad, but because somewhere between “I have a valid concern” and “here’s my plan,” they take a hard left into kidnapping, elaborate traps or trying to destroy civilisation. That’s the tragedy of a good villain. Sometimes, if they had just calmed down and spoken to someone — maybe over coffee, maybe in therapy — they could have resolved the whole thing in under an hour and saved everyone a lot of trouble. But then we wouldn’t have a movie. And if we are being
Has Resident Evil finally found the right way to become a movie?
Resident Evil has spent more than two decades trying to work out what it wants to be on the big screen. Paul W.S. Anderson's films turned the games into increasingly enormous action spectacles centred on Milla Jovovich's Alice. Welcome to Raccoon City attempted a more recognisable recreation of game locations and characters. Now Barbarian and Weapons filmmaker Zach Cregger has taken a third route. His new Resident Evil opened in cinemas on 18 September 2026, starring Austin Abrams as Bryan, a medical courier who finds himself entering a nightmare around Raccoon City. The crucial difference is that Cregger is not
The new Hunger Games trailer shows just how brutal Haymitch’s story will be
We have known Haymitch Abernathy for years as the cynical, damaged mentor who attempts to keep Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark alive. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is taking us back to the event that helped make him that man. A new trailer for the film arrived this week, giving fans another substantial look at Joseph Zada as the teenage Haymitch during the 50th Hunger Games, better known as the Second Quarter Quell. And this was not a normal year in the arena. Instead of the usual 24 tributes, the Capitol demanded 48. Haymitch before the drinking and
Alan Ritchson could replace Jason Momoa in the Helldivers movie – but the deal is not final
Sony's Helldivers movie has found a potential new recruit. Alan Ritchson, best known to many viewers as Jack Reacher in Prime Video's Reacher, is in talks to join the film adaptation of Arrowhead Game Studios' enormously successful science-fiction shooter franchise. The important phrase is in talks. Ritchson has not, as of 25 September 2026, been formally announced by Sony as the movie's new lead. What happened to Jason Momoa?

World War Z 2 is finally happening – and Brad Pitt is coming back
For years, World War Z 2 has been one of those sequels that seemed destined to remain a Hollywood “what if”. There were directors, scripts, development announcements and eventually silence. Now, more than a decade after Brad Pitt raced across the world trying to stay one step ahead of a zombie pandemic, Paramount is taking another shot at the franchise. Brad Pitt is officially set to return for a new World War Z film, with All Quiet on the Western Front and Conclave filmmaker Edward Berger attached to direct. Dennis Kelly is writing the screenplay, while Pitt will also produce
They’re actually making a Crazy Taxi movie and Netflix and Sega have much bigger plans

Alien: Romulus Sequel Is Still Happening — But With a Twist
The Alien franchise is very much alive and moving forward. After the strong performance of Alien: Romulus in 2024, a sequel was quickly put into development. The film earned over 351 million dollars worldwide on a budget of around 80 million and was widely praised for steering the franchise back toward raw, claustrophobic horror. That success made a continuation almost inevitable. Director Fede Álvarez, who directed and co-wrote Romulus with Rodo Sayagues, initially confirmed that a sequel script was in progress and that filming could begin as early as late 2025. At the time, it looked like he would return
