If the latest teaser for The Walking Dead Season 11 isn’t deceiving our weary eyes with red herrings planeted in one specific shot, then it appears that Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura) will inherit the direct familial connection at the center of the storyline that introduces Elodie. The teaser quickly shows Yumiko—seen without context wearing white Commonwealth military armor—at the Wall of the Lost (more on that in a second), appearing entranced as she gently places her hand on a pinned note (in front of an old pre-apocalypse photo that might be of her) that, while mostly difficult to discern, does clearly say, “My sister Miko....

On Disney+’s list of new releases this month, you won’t find any major Pixar, Star Wars, or Marvel (save for the continuing episodes of the aforementioned Moon Knight) releases. Instead, you’ll find something perhaps more valuable: BEARS. Earth Day falls on April 22 this year and Disney+ is celebrating with four major nature documentaries. Polar Bear is narrated by Catherine Keener and follows a family of nature’s most adorable killing machines....

After the animation studio’s next major effort was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the powers that be finally made the decision to release it on Disney’s streaming service. And that’s why you will now be able to watch Soul via Disney+ on Christmas Day. Soul stars Jamie Foxx as Joe Gardner – an inspiring jazz musician who finally gets his chance when his soul enters the Great Beyond. Soul isn’t the only gift on Disney+ in December 2020....

After the interesting and entertaining animated effort Marvel’s What If…? wrapped up its run in early October, Hawkeye is set to pick up the Infinity Gauntlet and run with it with two episodes premiering on Nov. 24. This live-action series features Jeremy Renner reprising his role as expert marksman Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye and encountering the next generation of heroes in the form of Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop. Also there will be a dog…and Christmas!...

With Django Unchained, Tarantino turns his attention to the spaghetti western, his most obvious model being Sergio Corbucci’s Django, a film whose bloody violence irked the BBFC back in the 60s. Christoph Waltz plays Schultz, a bounty hunter of German descent who rides around 1850s Southern America in the guise of an itinerant dentist. He frees the enslaved Django (Jamie Foxx) whom he hopes will help him identify the Brittle Brothers, a gang of criminals whose bodies are worth a fortune in bounty....

There hasn’t been much official news about the MCU sequel. Back in January, an unofficial synopsis emerged for Doctor Strange 2, to be taken with a grain of salt: “After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Dr. Stephen Strange continues his research on the Time Stone. But an old friend turned enemy seeks to destroy every sorcerer on Earth, messing with Strange’s plan and also causing him to unleash an unspeakable evil....

The animated What If…? show on Disney+ seemed like it was just a neat side project that meant nothing in the long run, but now that doesn’t seem to be the case. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness appears to follow up on What If…? more than we had initially realized. We already knew that the movie was going to incorporate the events of WandaVision and a Loki reference is to be expected, but seeing it tied so closely to the cartoon anthology series is just wild....

Sometimes, Marvel’s mid- and post-credits sequences are fun jokes, but more often than not, they set up future plots. As its title suggests, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness offers plenty of plot points for later Marvel entries to explore. The film introduces Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez, a fan favorite from the comic universe who has carried her own series. Based on the brief look we get in this movie, Chavez seems primed to star in a universe-hopping Disney+ series....

Whittaker’s final episode in the TARDIS will be this autumn’s Doctor Who BBC centenary special, after which the console will be handed over to Gatwa, a Bafta-winning 29-year-old stage and screen actor celebrated for the role of Eric Effiong in Netflix’s Sex Education. See him discuss that part in this Netflix interview. In 2020, Gatwa won the Best Actor Award at the Scottish Baftas, and was nominated for Best Male Performance in a comedy programme at this year’s awards, which take place tonight, May 8th....

The question of “Who counts as a companion?” is a tricky one. Overall it’s an ad hoc combination of different criteria, with allowances made for the exceptions that are intended to fulfil the companion role on a one-off basis. The ranking system is based on whether the departure makes sense for that character, how well it’s built up to, and what it says about Doctor Who in a larger sense....

Lie, spin, profiteer, bicker, undermine the science, ignore the warnings and do nothing useful whatsoever according to Adam McKay’s bleak apocalyptic satire Don’t Look Up. In it Meryl Streep’s corrupt female Trump-alike president, flanked by her sniveling, useless Chief-of-staff son (Jonah Hill) are presented with so many end-of-the-world scenarios from climate change to pollution, terrorism to nuclear threat that it’s all reduced to optics and winning the midterms. Do something!...

Dracula Episode 1 With a personal brand that stretches across all of culture, the who, what, when and where of Count Dracula are well known. He’s a centuries-old nobleman in a Transylvanian castle who vants to suck your blooood. The novel question this adaptation of Bram Stoker’s story asks is: why? Why crucifixes, why the need for an invitation, why the brides, why everything. Why is Count Dracula the best, most successful vampire of all time?...

Paul Atreides has survived the fall of his father’s house. When you get right down to it, this is very much the central conflict and core narrative arc to writer-director Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, a film which waited until its opening title card to reveal that it is merely “part one” of a larger story. The film begins with Paul (Timothée Chalamet) having visions of his family’s army lying scattered and dying, and it ends with that horror coming to pass....

That is, until he suddenly wakes up and finds himself inexplicably reliving the entire day — not just once, but over and over again, starting from scratch every time he is killed on the battlefield and fruitlessly trying to convince his master sergeant (Bill Paxton) and fellow soldiers of what is happening. Every time out, however, Cage gets a little better at fighting and eventually crosses paths with top Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), who seems to have knowledge of Cage’s situation....

Expanding upon the Netflix film’s recent release-date-setting teaser, which was essentially a montage showcase of characters, this clip manages to encapsulate the plot. While clearly depicting characters from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mythos (controversially, as evidenced by a recent lawsuit), the film is an adaptation of Nancy Springer’s six-book-spanning Enola Holmes series, specifically the first one, 2006’s The Case of the Missing Marquess, and was directed by Harry Bradbeer....

But watching Event Horizon now, with the latest transfer certainly helping us to appreciate this flawed but gripping film’s strengths more than ever before, the question arises: Would a longer cut have helped? Do we place too much importance on so-called director’s cuts, particularly when they exist only in our imaginations? Have the ones that have surfaced resulted in success or disappointment? “I think director’s cuts are interesting, and just as a fanboy I’ve certainly gone out and bought my fair share of them,” Anderson tells Den of Geek when we get a chance to chat with him about the movie’s anniversary....

Over the years, King has broadened his range to include appearances in not just movies, but in TV shows like The Simpsons and Sons of Anarchy. He even memorably starred in an American Express commercial in 1985: For the most part, however, King’s onscreen appearances have been in films and TV series based on his own work, usually in quick, don’t-blink-or-you’ll-miss-him walk-ons but occasionally in a decent-sized supporting role. In those cases, King — who, to be clear, is not giving Michael B....

Over the weekend, Twitter user TheMachoMando (which is a great name, by the way) shared pictures of what appears to be a Fallout series set complete with rusted-out vehicles parked outside of an abandoned supermarket. While the store’s sign is missing some letters, others are more intact and clearly read “Super-Duper Mart.” If that name sounds familiar, you probably played Fallout 3. After all, that bombed-out market is one of the first places players visit in that game after leaving Vault 101....

To Fear, Inc.’s credit, the premise is plenty amusing and creates the exact kind of meta-nightmare most horror fans would love to find themselves trapped within. One such fanatic bloke is Lucas Neff’s Joe Foster, the type of man-child bro who is meant to be immediately appealing with his man-bun hair and slacker spirit (instead of looking for a job he spends his days lounging around his girlfriend’s pool and playing beer pong by himself)....

At the center of Netflix‘s First Kill is Juliette Fairmont (Sarah Catherine Hook), a Legacy—pure-blood—vampire and Calliope Burns (Imani Lewis), a vampire hunter. Both girls are next up in their families to take on their first kill, but their feelings for one another complicate things. The (hopefully) first season of this series is based on a short story from Victoria “V.E.” Schwab and expands the plot to eight episodes. With so much extra time to fill, the ending of First Kill season 1 goes its own way....
