Back in the day, you were either a Street Fighter kid or a Mortal Kombat kid. Both had their pros and cons, but you had to choose one. I mean, your parents weren’t going to shell out good money for both, right? Well, parents who actually loved their kids did. Thanks for nothing, Dad. Since I had to choose, I went with Street Fighter. The moves seemed more straightforward to do, and my mom had less of a heart attack about the cartoony violence than the bloody gore that Mortal Kombat provided. The games after Street Fighter II were plentiful, even if the movies were not great. With a new film on the horizon,...

The first footage from what promises to be the greatest action thriller in decades has now been unleashed. Containing all the ingredients needed to bake the perfect action movie cake, including a cast of martial arts greats, a director known for blistering stunts, and a no-nonsense plot that takes modern action classic The Raid and Liam Neeson’s Taken and smashes them together to create a powerful genre fist, the newly released clip (which you can check out below!) teases the fast and furious things to come.

Aptly titled The Furious, this action thriller follows a simple tradesman (Miao Xie) who must fight his way through a complex web of...

Netflix ha desvelado el primer tráiler y póster de su nueva película original La mujer del camarote 10, dirigida por Simon Stone (The Daughter), quien también firma el guion junto a Joe Shrapnel (Snake Eyes: el origen) y Anna Waterhouse.

Basada en la homónima novela superventas de Ruth Ware, la trama sigue a una periodista que, durante un viaje de trabajo a bordo de un lujoso yate, ve con sus propios ojos cómo alguien es arrojado por la borda en plena noche. Pero, sorpresa: le juran y perjuran que nadie ha desaparecido. Pasajeros y tripulación, todos en perfecto estado… o eso dicen.

While fans continue to speculate about Ryan Reynolds’ potential involvement in Avengers: Doomsday, one pre-Deadpool film from the action star has returned to streaming charts over 10 years later. Reynolds stars alongside Jeff Bridges (Hell or High Water) and Kevin Bacon (The Bondsman) in R.I.P.D., the 2013 sci-fi buddy cop comedy following a dead detective, Nick Walker (Reynolds), who is hired by a director of a group of dead police officers to fight an army of renegade ghosts. R.I.P.D. is currently streaming on Peacock in America, where the film has crept into the top 10, sitting at #3 at the time of writing.

R.I.P.D. is the lowest-rated movie of Ryan Reynolds’ career, which...

Samara Weavingmay be a skilled getaway driver in Eenie Meanie, but that didn't stop her latest star vehicle from crashing and burning with critics. The action comedy heist flick debuted on Friday on Hulu, where it was tagged with a lackluster 48% Rotten Tomatoes score from 23 critics despite praise for the Ready or Not star and the thrills built around her. It's low enough to be the third-worst-rated film of her career on the aggregator, though still well ahead of 2021's Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins and 2016's Monster Trucks. With the film just released, audiences are still gathering their thoughts, though early scores have been more positive overall.

Ruth Ware's bestselling novel The Woman in Cabin 10 is set to bring its twisty tale to Netflix this October, and ahead of its highly anticipated release, the streaming service has shared a first look at the thrilling film adaptation before it leaves the port. Keira Knightley and Guy Pearce's murder mystery will seemingly hit choppy waters as a trip on a luxury superyacht turns sinister when one passenger witnesses someone getting thrown overboard late at night, only to be told that it didn't happen, as all passengers and crew are accounted for.

The bystander of the deadly deed is Laura "Lo" Blacklock (Knightley), who just so happens to be a journalist on a travel assignment aboard the luxury ship. The young woman uses her journalistic skills to gather information and look for answers, putting her own life in danger. She is surrounded by potential suspects and the...

Last year, we learned that the Netflix streaming service had gotten a new film chief in Dan Lin – and one of the first projects Lin greenlit at the streamer is an adaptation of author Ruth Ware’s bestselling 2016 thriller novel The Woman in Cabin 10, which had Keira Knightley attached to star in it as the titular woman. Now, Netflix has announced that the film is set to have its streaming premiere on October 10th – and to start building the hype, they have unveiled a batch of first look images, which can be seen at the bottom of this article.

Simon Stone, who previously directed The Dig for Netflix, directed this film from a screenplay by Snake Eyes writers Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse (with Stone handling script revisions himself). Knightley plays a travel journalist assigned to cover the launch of a luxury yacht. When she witnesses a passenger tossed...

Based on the bestselling novel by Ruth Ware, the film is directed by Simon Stone, who also co-wrote the script with Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse (Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins). Get on board now and read on for more information about your upcoming trip — including Ware’s feelings about the adaptation.

Baby Assassins 3 is officially heading to U.S. home release on August 26, 2025, courtesy of distributor Well Go USA.

The Japanese action-comedy, which originally premiered in Japan on September 27, 2024, was previously known as Baby Assassins: Nice Days during its festival run, but will be released under the title Baby Assassins 3 for its Digital and Blu-ray debut.

The film had its U.S. premiere at Fantastic Fest 2024 in Texas, where it received a warm reception. It currently holds a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, though that score comes from just 11 reviews.

Despite being labeled the third film, Baby Assassins 3 is actually the fourth entry in the franchise. It follows the original 2021 film, its 2023 sequel, and a 12-episode TV series that aired in 2024. Fortunately, each installment functions as a standalone story, so newcomers can jump in at any point without confusion.

Returning to their roles as the clumsy yet lethal...

Transformers: Rise of the Beastscontinues to climb the streaming charts two years after failing to impress critics.

Per FlixPatrol, the 2023 Transformers sequel has made its way to the number eight spot on the list of top streaming series and films on MGM+ for Jul. 11. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts currently sits just above The Magnificent Seven and Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, although it still has quite a ways to go before it catches up withthe likes of A Working Man, Godfather of Harlem, and From, which dominate the number one, two, and three spots on the chart, respectively.

Directed by Steven Caple Jr., Transformers: Rise of the Beasts was the seventh film in the long-running Transformers feature film series, and served as a follow-up to 2018's Bumblebee. The film stars Anthony Ramos as Noah Diaz, an ex-military electronics expert who is pulled into the middle of an interstellar conflict...

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins star Henry Golding is open to returning for the planned crossover between G.I. Joe and Transformers, but the signs aren't looking very promising so far. Golding played the character of Snake Eyes in the 2021 G.I. Joe spin-off origin film that was intended to reboot the franchise. The ending of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which revealed that G.I. Joe existed in the same universe, implied that the rebooted G.I. Joe film was intended to align with the newly rebooted live-action Transformers continuity.

Speaking with Comic Book, Henry Golding discussed the possibility of reprising his role as Snake Eyes in the planned crossover film between Hasbro's two biggest franchises, which Chris Hemsworth will reportedly lead. Golding, at the moment, thinks that Paramount Pictures might feature a different take on G.I. Joe, possibly the team from the original duology of films, but he would love to return in some capacity.

Henry Golding recently took his name out of consideration as the next James Bond, and now the star has also provided another update on another future project he’s been rumored to star in. One of Golding’s most notable roles came from starring in Snake Eyes, formerly titled Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. The film premiered in 2021 to poor reviews from critics and mediocre reviews from audiences — it earned scores of 35% from the former and 74% from the latter on Rotten Tomatoes.

The release of 2023’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts shocked the world with its post-credit scene, one that teased a crossover with the G.I. Joe franchise. It was later reported that a crossover movie between the two was in the works, with Marvel veteran Chris Hemsworth attached to star and Derek Connolly (Jurassic World) writing the script. Golding recently caught up with Comicbook.com to chat about his new Netflix movie,...

The future of G.I. Joegets a disappointing update, but Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins star Henry Golding remains open to returning. Based on the popular action figures, Snake Eyes premiered in 2021 and marked the first G.I. Joe installment since Retaliation, which featured Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson and was released eight years prior.

The newer G.I. Joe movie, directed by Robert Schwentke, explores a drifter (Golding) who learns from the Arashikage while seeking vengeance for the murder of his father. Despite a strong cast and compelling story, Snake Eyes failed to resonate at the box office, but there may be a door open for Golding and others to come back.

During a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Golding mentioned speculation surrounding Transformers and Snake Eyes, but revealed that he does not know if it will happen, or if a crossover would include a different G.I. Joe. However, Golding still expressed interest in returning,...

They may be immortal, but The Old Guard can’t avoid the savagery of audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. After waiting five years for the sequel, The Old Guard 2 has now landed on Netflix, with the response from viewers leaving much to be desired as the superhero action sequel squanders the faith left behind by the first outing.

Alongside returning cast members Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Matthias Schoenaerts, Vân Veronica Ngô, Chiwetel Ejiofor, The Old Guard 2 adds Crazy Rich Asians, Snake Eyes, and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare star Henry Golding and Kill Bill star and Hollywood icon Uma Thurman to proceedings.

Sadly, this all-star cast cannot save The Old Guard 2 from being a disappointment to viewers and fans, with the action outing now forever stamped with a toppled popcorn bucket and a rating of 44% on Rotten Tomatoes’ audience-based Popcornmeter alongside just 28% from critics.

“The Old Guard” is back and Netflix’s new sequel boasts both familiar and new faces.

The series, returning five years after the first film debuted, follows a group of immortals who task themselves with protecting the mortal world from threats while working to keep their long lives as secret as possible for fear of capture and study. The latest film brings back Charlize Theron and introduces new A-listers into the mix like Uma Thurman.

Here’s a who’s who the cast and characters to know in “The Old Guard 2.”

Charlize Theron in “The Old Guard 2” (Netflix) Charlize Theron as Andy

Charlize Theron plays Andy, one of the oldest of her kind and the leader of her group of immortal do-gooders, who is no longer immortal herself as of the end of the first film.

Theron’s filmography is wide-ranging. She won an Oscar for her role in 2003’s “Monster.

With The Old Guard 2 finally reigniting the immortal war today, we were recently granted an exclusive opportunity to catch up with stars Chiwetel Ejiofor (Doctor Strange; 12 Years a Slave; Venom: The Last Dance), Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians; Snake Eyes; The Gentlemen), and Marwan Kenzari (Aladdin; The Mummy; Black Adam) to talk about their pivotal roles in the Netflix action sequel.

Ejiofor and Kenzari reprise their roles as James Copley and Joe, respectively, from the previous film while Golding joins the cast as Tuah, an old friend of Andy's (Charlize Theron) who may hold the key to discovering the mystery behind immortality. However, before unlocking the secret, they'll first have to square off against a vengeful Quynh (Veronica Ngô) and the oldest immortal Discord (Uma Thurman), who is out to destroy the world.

In our informative conversation, the trio filled me in on where we'll find their characters...

David Dastmalchian, star of Late Night With The Devil, has been announced as the Street Fighter film’s primary antagonist, M Bison.

Late Night With The Devil star David Dastmalchian has been unveiled as the arch villain in Legendary’s planned adaptation of Capcom’s Street Fighter videogame series. Fallout's Walton Goggins was previously said to be in negotiations for the role around a month ago, that hasn’t come to pass. Instead – thanks Deadline – it will be Dastmalchian who (presumably) dons the scarlet outfit of M Bison.

M Bison, the Street Fighter series’ big bad, is the kind of sneering villain who rocks a cloak and shoulder pads so you know he’s the final boss to end all final bosses. Nothing says ‘fascism’ like the combination of cloak, shoulder pads and a peaked military hat. And as the terrifying head of the criminal organisation known as Shadaloo,...

The Old Guard 2, the sequel to the Covid-era Netflix streaming hit, continues to waste our time in more ways than one. The action is dull — especially when it involves the actors — and only rises to “acceptable” when the stunt team takes over.

The script, particularly the dialogue, is yawn-inducing, making me grateful I’m not immortal. I can’t imagine watching this intellectual property get recycled for centuries. Then again, maybe it can be — since the writers have conveniently discovered a new storytelling device to write themselves out of any corner.

As Conan O’Brien jokes on his podcast, most superhero movies open a portal whenever they need one. In The Old Guard 2, immortality is traded like playing cards. Sometimes you have it, sometimes you don’t. It’s not a power—it’s a vibe.

Netflix’s The Old Guard 2 Review and Synopsis Charlize Theron in The Old Guard 2...

Netflix has revealed a new clip from their upcoming, and long-awaited, superhero sequel, The Old Guard 2...and it finds a longtime James Bond favorite showing off his affinity for action. The sequel, which will pick up following the events of 2020’s The Old Guard, finds Andy (Charlize Theron) and her team of immortal warriors return to protect humanity from a powerful new enemy threatening their very existence.

Alongside returning cast members Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Matthias Schoenaerts, Vân Veronica Ngô, Chiwetel Ejiofor, The Old Guard 2 adds Crazy Rich Asians, Snake Eyes, and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare star Henry Golding. The Another Simple Favor actor has long been a bookies’ favorite for the role of the next James Bond, and joins the Netflix action outing as Tuah, an old friend of Ejiofor’s James Copley, and the man who may be able to provide...

James Bond contender Henry Golding has offered a candid take on playing 007. The actor has often been mentioned as a leading candidate to succeed Daniel Craig as the MI6 spy.

Golding is perhaps known for starring in the comedies Crazy Rich Asians and Last Christmas, though he has plenty of action experience thanks to Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen and playing the title character in the G.I. Joe spinoff Snake Eyes. In a recent interview with People, Golding had mixed feelings aboutpotentially playing 007.

"I think that's every actor's kind of nightmare," Golding confessed. "But at the same time, [you're] also wanting to kind of add something new to a franchise."

The Old Guard 2 actor suggested he might feel more comfortable if Bond producers sought him out to play one of the other MI6 agents in the same cinematic universe.

"Why can't they bring out more agents or more 00's?...

Henry Golding says stepping into James Bond would be “every actor’s kind of nightmare,” describing the strain of inheriting cinema’s most scrutinized tuxedo during a red-carpet chat at Netflix’s The Old Guard 2 premiere in Los Angeles on 25 June. The 38-year-old added that he would “love it so much more if there wasn’t that overhanging cultural pressure,” floating the idea of fresh double-0 agents to ease expectations.

His remarks arrive as Amazon MGM reshapes the franchise: on the same day, the studio confirmed Denis Villeneuve as director of Bond 26 and executive producer alongside Tanya Lapointe, promising “new missions to come.” The appointment follows February’s joint-venture deal that gave Amazon creative control while longtime stewards Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson remain co-owners, with Amy Pascal and David Heyman producing.

Casting, however, remains an open question. Aaron Taylor-Johnson again dodged queries at the London premiere of 28 Years Later,...

Jon M. Chu is one of the most influential directors in Hollywood, who has built a reputation for himself by majorly working on smash-hit standalone films and making them memorable with a perfect cast. However, he could also be found on the other side of the fence, where he is part of a major franchise that has earned him praise from major filmmakers in the industry.

One such film was G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the 2nd film in the G.I. Joe franchise. While the film was not a major success like its predecessor, it was not a box office bomb either, receiving a very passable response from the fans.

This was a major shocker for the fans because it featured a major Squid Game star, but it faced a major problem that was not taken in a good note by the viewers.

Jon M. Chu’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation Suffered...

Samara Weaving, who played Scarlett in Robert Schwentke’s Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, talks about the franchise's future outside the planned G.I. Joe and Transformers crossovers. Paramount confirmed plans to merge the two franchises in upcoming projects in 2024. The upcoming eighth installment in the Transformers franchise will feature a G.I. Joe crossover. A separate crossover movie was also confirmed to feature the return of Anthony Ramos as Noah Diaz. Meanwhile, G.I. Joe: Ever Vigilant is rumored to be in development.

In an interview with ScreenRant's Grant Hermanns for Borderline, now available on home media and digital platforms as of June 10, Samara Weaving and Ray Nicholson discuss where G.I. Joe's future lies outside the Transformers crossovers. When asked about updates, Weaving revealed that she hadn't heard anything. She also shared that she had a fun time playing Scarlett and would love to get a solo movie. Check out...

It’s a battle 500 years in the making. In a sequel five years in the making. Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron is back in action in the first clip from the Netflix superhero sequel The Old Guard 2, with her immortal warrior Andy, a.k.a. Andromache of Scythia coming face-to-face with someone from her (vast) past...and exchanging punches with them. You can check out the newly released footage from The Old Guard 2 below.

Directed by Victoria Mahoney, and written once again by Greg Rucka, The Old Guard 2 sees Charlize Theron return as Andy/Andromache of Scythia alongside KiKi Layne as Nile Freeman, Marwan Kenzari as Joe/Yusuf Al-Kaysani, Luca Marinelli as Nicky/Nicolò di Genoa, Matthias Schoenaerts as Booker/Sebastian Le Livre, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as James Copley.

Snake Eyes star Henry Golding has weighed in on whether he'd be interested in playing James Bond. Golding is often mentioned by fans as a potential contender to succeed Daniel Craig as the MI6 spy.

Golding has lined up an impressive string of credits that make him a solid candidate for the role, having tackled the necessary action scene experience in projects likeSnake Eyes and Assassin Club. The British actor has even explored the world of clandestine spy operations with his 2024 movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, a World War II action epic about a black ops spy mission to sabotage the Nazis during World War II.

Henry Golding Encourages James Bond Producers to 'Sign [Him] Up'

Golding told The Radio Times this week that he'd be excited about the possibility of playing Bond. After encouraging the Bond producers to "sign [him] up" for the role, Golding spoke about what it's like...

One of the firm favorites for the role of the next James Bond in Amazon’s upcoming reboot is very much on board, saying “sign me up” when asked whether he is still interested in picking up the mantle of 007. It is not currently known who will take over from Daniel Craig following 2021’s No Time to Die, but with rumors abound and the project being fast-tracked, it surely won’t be long before we find out who will don the iconic tux. But will it be Crazy Rich Asians and The Old Guard 2 star Henry Golding?

Speaking to RadioTimes about his name being in contention for the role of James Bond in the action series reboot, Golding said it was a “privilege” to even be considered for such an iconic character.

"Obviously, it's a privilege to be in any conversation for a property like that. Whatever happens, I'm excited...

The next live-action Street Fightermovie adaptation has faced a few hurdles as of late, but it seems the project is finally taking shape. Legendary is moving forward with the reboot, and they look to add some of the most prominent faces in the action genre to the main cast.

According to Deadline, Jason Momoa, Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, and Roman Reigns are in talks to lead Legendary's new Street Fighter film, which is set to be directed by Kitao Sakurai (Bad Trip). It is currently unknown who is writing the screenplay or producing the feature-length project. Street Fighter was first announced by the studio back in 2023, with Talk to Me's Danny and Michael Philippou attached to direct. Sakurai has since replaced the filmmaking duo, but that did little to stop the film from being moved off its Mar. 20, 2026 theatrical release date. However, with the latest casting news, perhaps Street Fighter...

Street Fighter has four stars circling the cast. The upcoming live-action movie is an adaptation of the video game franchise of the same name, which was previously adapted into a live-action movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme in 1994. The live-action Street Fighter movie, which comes from the media company Legendary and has an unknown release date after recently being pulled from its planned position on the 2026 schedule, is set to be directed by Kitao Sakurai.

Per Deadline, Andrew Koji, Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, and Roman Reigns are in talks to join the cast of Street Fighter. The characters that they will be playing are unknown at the time of writing. It is also unknown what characters will be appearing in the movie in the first place, as plot details have so far been kept under wraps, as has the identity of the movie's screenwriter.

The Mediapro Studio has secured film rights to The Museum of Cursed Artifacts, the upcoming debut novel by The Pope’s Exorcist and Beauty and the Beast (2017) screenwriter Evan Spiliotopoulos, Variety reports.

Described as an action-packed blend of suspense, adventure and supernatural twists, the story begins with a famed entrepreneur completing his collection of cursed artifacts. He then takes his life in a shocking manner.

His family, gutted that he blew all his money but still hoping to turn a profit with this macabre museum, assemble leading experts to verify the items’ authenticity. All hell literally breaks loose.

Spiliotopoulos — whose writing credits also include Hercules (2014), The Huntsman: Winter’s War, Charlies Angels (2019), Snake Eyes, and The Unholy — is attached to pen the script.

Auctions were held for the book and film rights, with both selling within days of each other in competitive situations. The novel is part of a two-book deal with Emily Bestler Books,...

Thank God for Josh Hartnett. We live in a deeply troubled world, so miserable lately that it’s hard to find the motivation to look out a window let alone watch a cheesy action movie. But Hartnett provides. The actor may not have written or directed the new high-octane, high altitude action-comedy “Fight or Flight” but it’s his put upon, simultaneously early-and-late era Daffy Duck energy that makes it soar.

“Fight or Flight” stars Hartnett as Lucas Reyes, a bedraggled cab driver, permanently hung over and sporting frosted tips in the year 2025, so you know he’s having a rough one. He gets a call from his ex-girlfriend and ex-boss Katherine Brunt (Katee Sackhoff), and she’s in a pickle. You see, Reyes used to work in the Secret Service before he got railroaded, and he’s been living on the run ever since. All he has to do...

If you thought immortality meant an easy life, think again because Charlize Theron’s Andy is back to prove it in the jaw-dropping trailer for The Old Guard 2, which just dropped on Netflix’s YouTube channel. In this sequel to the 2020 hit, Theron reprises her role as the centuries-old warrior Andromache of Scythia, but there is a massive twist: she is no longer immortal.

The trailer’s opening line, where Andy declares, “quick is better than subtle,” sets the stage for a story as thrilling as action-packed. And if that is not enough to get your heart racing, enter Uma Thurman, looking every bit the fierce adversary as she squares off against Theron in a clash that has already got fans screaming for more.

The Old Guard 2...

Eternity has a price in the first trailer for the long-awaited Netflix action sequel, The Old Guard 2. Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron returns as the immortal warrior Andy, Aka Andromache of Scythia in the follow-up, which finds her reuniting with her team of fellow unkillable assassins and with a renewed sense of purpose in their mission to protect the world. You can check out the new trailer for The Old Guard 2 below.

Directed by Victoria Mahoney, and written once again by Greg Rucka, The Old Guard 2 sees Charlize Theron return as Andy/Andromache of Scythia alongside KiKi Layne as Nile Freeman, Marwan Kenzari as Joe/Yusuf Al-Kaysani, Luca Marinelli as Nicky/Nicolò di Genoa, Matthias Schoenaerts as Booker/Sebastian Le Livre, Vân Veronica Ngô as Quỳnh, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as James Copley.

Wowow Bridge, the Tokyo-based production services firm launched by Japan’s premium pay TV broadcaster Wowow last summer, has locked down its first pair of projects. The company is servicing the Tokyo shoot for the series finale of FBI: International from Universal Television, Wolf Entertainment and CBS Studios. The series finale shoot follows Wowow Bridge’s extensive Japan servicing work on the recently wrapped Neuromancer, Skydance and Anonymous Content’s much anticipated big-budget sci-fi drama series that will premiere globally on Apple TV+.

Wowow planted its flag in the production services business last year in hopes of encouraging and profiting from a recent surge of industry interest in Japan-set live-action content. The Wowow Bridge subsidiary was set up to provide a full suite of services to international film and television projects targeting shoots in Japan. The company’s decision to launch a production services arm grew from its experience as...

Paul Feig’s first sequel is here, with “Another Simple Favor” now streaming. And while you’ll know the returners, there are some new faces in the cast this time around.

Now streaming on Prime Video, the film sees Emily Nelson released from prison, only to immediately seek out the woman who put her there to ask if she’d be her maid of honor. For reasons that are more based on threats than logic, Stephanie agrees.

We’re not going to spoil anything here, we’re just going to help you place who’s who in the cast.

Anna Kendrick returns as mommy blogger Stephanie Smothers, only now she’s a mommy blogger no more. After her first experience with Emily, Stephanie is now a published author, professional crime solver and definitely has more bite to her.

The action comedy Fight or Flight was released in Germany back in December and will finally be reaching theatres across the United States on May 9th – and with that date just one week away, we’ve gotten our hands on an Exclusive clip from the film! This clip introduces us to the lead character, played Josh Hartnett (Trap); a gun-wielding, booze-chugging mercenary who’s about to wade into a dangerous situation on an airplane.

Fight or Flight marks the feature directorial debut of James Madigan, who has previously directed episodes of Medal of Honor and Runaways and worked as a second unit director on G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Red 2, Insurgent, Allegiant, The Meg, Bill & Ted Face the Music, Snake Eyes, See, and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Scripted by Brooks McLaren (How It Ends) and actor D.J.

There still might be hope for another entry in The Raid franchise.

While speaking with Entertainment Weekly about his new Netflix action film Havoc, director Gareth Evans revealed that he initially had an idea for a third The Raid movie, but ultimately dropped it. However, a few years ago, he gained new inspiration after reuniting with lead actor Iko Uwais in Indonesia, stating, "We keep in touch, we WhatsApp each other all the time, but this was the first time I'd seen him in a long time. And I've always seen Iko, because of the nature of how we met and the projects we've done, as my younger kid brother. And then, seeing him after the seven-year gap of time, I was kind of struck by how much he'd grown, how much he'd matured, how many different experiences he'd had."

From that reunion, the filmmaker "came away feeling like I...

Director Gareth Evans rose to prominence with his work on The Raid franchise, starring Iko Uwais in the lead role. The first and second installments both received critical acclaim and set a new benchmark for martial arts and action cinema. As a result, there has been ongoing speculation about Evans helming a third installment.

During a recent interview, Evans discussed his latest directorial venture, Havoc, starring Tom Hardy in the lead role. In the interview, Evans was asked about the possibility of Raid 3. The filmmaker revealed that while he had a concept in mind, he was skeptical for one reason. Here is what Evans had to say about a potential Raid 3.

Criminally underrated action star Iko Uwais is back doing what he does best in the first look at upcoming action thriller, Wings of Dread. Combining the martial arts spectacle of one of the best modern action movies of all time, The Raid, and the claustrophobic setting of a plane, Wings of Dread should rapidly be climbing your must-see action movie list.

Co-directed by Pengfei Qin (Red Cliff) and Ashton Chen (Ip Man 2), the latter of whom also stars alongside Uwais, specific plot details for Wings of Dread are being kept under wraps for now, but what we can gather from the (frustratingly brief) footage, which you can check out below, is that Wings of Dread will find both Uwais and Chen demonstrating their particular set of skills while 30,000 feet in the air.

Wings of Dread reportedly marks the first of several collaborations between Iko Uwais and the streaming platform iQIYI,...

Legendary's Street Fighter reboot is beginning to pick up some speed. Two months after securing new directors following the exit of Talk to Me filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou, casting has reportedly started on the movie.

According to Nexus Point News, Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo are in talks to join the Street Fighter reboot as Ryu, the titular martial artist of the franchise who has dedicated his life to mastering the art of Ansatsuken through any fight he can by traveling the world in search of worthy opponents; and Ken Masters, Ryu's charismatic best friend/brotherly rival who trained with Ryu under the same master, Gouken, respectively. Both characters have appeared in all seven of the main Street Fighter video games, including the most recent Street Fighter 6, which was released on PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows in 2023.

Andrew Koji, best known for “Bullet Train” and the Max series “Warrior,” will next star in the cast of an indie action and heist film called “High Stakes Holiday.”

"I did it for Rome." Freestyle Digital Media has debuted their official trailer for the film Seneca, made by director Robert Schwentke who worked in Hollywood for years (he last made Snake Eyes before this). The full title is actually Seneca - On the Creation of Earthquakes - this first premiered at the 2023 Berlin Film Festival a few years ago and opened in Germany that year. But most critics hated it and reviews have been harsh. It's about the relationship between Seneca and Nero, the infamous Emperor he mentored since childhood and who accused him of plotting his assassination. The plot revolves around Nero telling him to kill himself and Seneca's response to this directive. "Schwentke has made a pyrotechnic display of a film that is almost peerless in its use of over-the-top punchlines, splatter-sarcasm, love of verbal precocity. Stunning & incredibly topical, Seneca asks: is the educated elite a victim...
