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 2018 film adaptation of Square Enixs adventure video game Tomb Raider has received a brand-new streaming update for next month. In the reboot movie, Oscar winner Alicia Vikander took on the role of Lara Croft, following in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie, who originally portrayed the iconic character in the 2001 and 2003 versions of Tomb Raider.

Starting on Friday, Nov. 1, Warner Bros. Pictures Tomb Raider reboot will officially be available to stream for free on Tubi. The film was based on the 2013 version of the video game, which served as the tenth installment of the hit action game franchise. The story centers around Lara Crofts perilous quest to find her archaeologist father, who has been missing for seven years. During its theatrical run, the film garnered mixed reviews from critics, but it has a cult following, with some fans labeling the film among the best video game adaptations. Like 2001s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movie,...

Lara Croft, the iconic heroine of the Tomb Raider video games, has long been considered a feminist icon. Yet, the new series, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, is the first time the games are being adapted by a female creator. Tomb Raider has been adapted into live-action movies three times in the past. Angeline Jolie was the first to portray the character on the big screen. The franchise was then given a big-screen reboot in 2018 when Alicia Vikander portrayed the updated iteration of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, directed by Roar Uthaug.

Netflix's new animated series, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, is created and written by Tasha Huo, who is the first woman to oversee a major adaptation of the beloved video games. When MovieWeb spoke with Tasha Huo, the showrunner expressed how much it meant to her to be able to finally tell Lara...

Netflix is very close to crowning a new streaming champion and it's a very recent title. Under Paris, the 2024 French-language survival thriller from The Divide director Xavier Gens, now ranks second overall in all-time viewership on the streaming service's non-English movies chart with 99.9 million views to its name thus far. All it needs is another 3.1 million views to overtake Roar Uthaug's acclaimed Norwegian monster movie Troll for the top spot, which seems very doable given Gens's feature is only three months removed from its release. However, due to a difference in runtime, it's still a ways off from passing the leader in hours watched, Society of the Snow (239.7 million).

Under Paris ranks second on Netflix's all-time viewership list for non-English movies with 99.9 million views. The film needs 3.1 million views to overtake Troll as the most-watched non-English movie. Mixed reviews could affected Under Paris, but its environmental themes and excitement could propel it to the top spot.

Under Paris climbs Netflix's all-time viewership chart in an updated top two ranking. Co-written and directed by Xavier Gens, the French-language survival thriller follows a mourning marine biologist who must confront her tragic past in order to prevent a massacre in Paris after a giant shark emerges from the Seine. Brnice Bejo leads the Under Paris cast alongside La Lviant, Nassim Lyes, Anas Parello, Anne Marivin, Nagisa Morimoto, Aurelia Petit, and many more in supporting roles. When the movie premiered on Netflix, it was the most-watched movie across the platform globally, in any language, for two straight weeks.

Given their close-knit relationship as global entertainment industries, gaming and the movies have long had a symbiotic connection. Movie tie-in games, for instance, have been a popular feature in gaming for decades, with numerous short-form releases over the years attempting to distil linear, cinematic storylines into interactive ones — albeit with varying success.

A Brief History of Gaming and the Movies

Of course, it’s not been uncommon over the years for studios to churn out poor quality movie-tie in titles that barely represent the characters and narratives we’ve fallen for on the big screen. However, there have been some outright successes and unexpected releases in alternative gaming genres.

In addition to being video game franchises, movies have even inspired online casino games and plenty of other activities throughout the iGaming sector. IP such as King Kong, Jurassic Park and even The Lord of The Rings have all been transformed...

This holiday season’s release of Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving is cause for celebration amongst slasher fans. It’s been a hot minute since mainstream horror audiences have been able to watch a wide-release slasher that feels gruesomely throwback *and* is based on a wholly original concept. Thanksgiving is a contemporary reinterpretation of cheesy 80s midnighters about masked killers and juicy, rubbery effects that hoists holiday horror back into the limelight. It’s also fair to speculate how Thanksgiving signals a possible shift in overall genre trends, but labeling Thanksgiving as the rebirth of the slasher subgenre is a bit misleading. Roth’s ooey-gooey ode to holiday horror with all the trimmings certainly sticks out in today’s horror landscape, but that’s only on surface-level evaluations.

Heck, it wasn’t even the only holiday-themed slasher in theaters this season.

Audel awards the scene a low accuracy grade of 3 out of 10, explaining that the best course of action would have been to keep the shard in the body and seek medical attention. A planned Tomb Raider sequel was scrapped due to a rights issue and Amazon is now rebooting the franchise, but Vikander's take on Croft showed promise and was deserving of further exploration.

Tomb Raider star Alicia Vikander is finally ready to share her thoughts about Lara Croft’s future and the disappointment of watching plans for another chance to play the character go up in smoke. MGM sold the rights to the Tomb Raider franchise to Amazon Prime Video last summer, effectively killing Vikander’s chance to star in a sequel to her 2018 reboot. Rather than make a sequel to Roar Uthaug’s film, Prime Video is teaming up with writer and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star Phoebe Waller-Bridge for a TV series. Amazon wants to turn Tomb Raider into an expansive franchise. While plans for the television reboot remain a mystery, Vikander is not involved.

Speaking with Variety, Vikander told the outlet she’s grateful for the chance to have played such an iconic character and would not rule out returning if asked.

Unlike Angelina Jolie, Alicia Vikander was never able to reprise her role as Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider sequel. Back in 2018, Vikander took over the role of the tomb-raiding adventurer in the Tomb Raider film directed by Roar Uthaug. For years, there were plans to make a sequel, though the project continuously went through changes before making any real traction. In 2021, Misha Green was signed on to write and direct the film, and the sequel's progress were starting to look good with Vikander also set to return as Lara Croft. However, it was revealed the following year that the movie had been canceled as MGM hadn't given it the green light in time, causing the studio to lose the rights.

Vikander has since been working on new projects, and her newest film, Firebrand, is holding its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. While speaking with Variety at the event,...

Meanwhile, Dube said the streaming company opened opportunities to storytellers. “I always tell my students: don’t go to Hollywood anymore. Let Hollywood come to you,...

Troll opens with a young girl and her father rock climbing in the reputed home of Norway’s trolls. When the girl professes her disbelief her father tells her to look with her heart not with her eyes and sure enough, faces become visible in the rock formations.

Twenty years later Nora is now a palaeontologist and has just made an important find. Before she can even celebrate a military helicopter arrives with orders to take her to Oslo on a matter of national security. Workers excavating a tunnel through one of those mountains have woken something up. Something big, and not very friendly. It’s a troll and not the kind that follows you around Facebook commenting “Libtard!” on everything you post.
