Before becoming a romcom icon, thanks to leading roles in The Proposal and The Lake House, Sandra Bullock was a bona-fide action star during the '90s and 00s, with major roles in Demolition Man, and the Speed franchise. But, one of Bullock's often-forgotten, and vastly underappreciated action flicks came six years after Speed, when Bullock starred in Miss Congeniality. For those that have never seen the action comedy, or won't pass up an opportunity for a long-overdue re-watch, it's currently a hit on streaming.
Miss Congeniality was recently added to Netflix, and flew up the streamer's Top 10 most popular movies of the week list. At the time of writing, Miss Congeniality is the 4th most popular movie on Netflix. The film sits behind Amy Schumer's latest comedy, Kinda Pregnant, in 1st, with The Menu and Back in Action in 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Released in 2000, Miss Congeniality was directed by Donald Petrie,...

The first episode of "Severance" season 2 had the unenviable task of following the show's spectacular season 1 finale, and instead of instantly providing answers, it immerses viewers back into some of the key mysteries established in season 1. The whole episode takes place within the Lumon office, with no glimpses at the outside world or what the characters there may be getting up to. The only clues we get are through exposition given to Mark S. (Adam Scott) and the rest of the gang, who are told that their temporary escape at the end of season 1 made them famous and has led to major reforms in working conditions for severed employees.
The events of the season 1 finale are recapped in an animated corporate instructional video, which is shown to the Macrodata Refinement (or Mdr) team after they all return to the office. Anyone who's seen "The Matrix" or "John Wick" likely perked...

The original launched Keanu Reeves as an action star, but he passed on Speed 2 with good reason. While he had fronted Point Break a few years earlier, it was Speed that transformed Reeves into an action lead. The movie's success led to all the Keanu Reeves action movies that followed, but he was wise enough to pass on 1997's Speed 2: Cruise Control when it was offered. This saw Sandra Bullock return as Annie, with Jason Patric replacing Reeves as new hero Alex as the couple become trapped on a cruise ship seized by a vengeful hacker.
Speed 2 was a critical and commercial disaster, and sits at only 4% on Rotten Tomatoes and it barely recouped its budget. Bullock has confessed more than once that Cruise Control was a huge mistake, while Reeves appeared like a genius for passing on it. That's not to say his decision didn't come...

Exclusive: Tony and Pulitzer Prize winner David Auburn (Proof) has been tapped to write a new draft of Another Round, the English-language remake of Thomas Vinterberg’s Oscar-winning Danish drama from 2020, which has Chris Rock on board to direct.
Rock joined the project in January, as we were first to report. At the time, he had a draft in hand from Stuart Blumberg but was looking for another writer with which to partner. We’re told Auburn landed the job after a long search, beating out maybe 200 scribes in the process.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way Productions secured the remake rights to Another Round shortly after the film landed the Best International Feature prize at the Academy Awards. We’re told that the project is picking up steam now that Auburn is involved, though Rock did just sign on to direct and star in Misty Green, a Hollywood drama for which he wrote the script,...

But while this connected universe continues to grow with multiple games, movies, and TV shows on the way, another such universe may be forming very subtly under our noses. With Sam Lake showcasing how such narrative projects can work in gaming, it’s time for Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware to fully embrace their own shared universe as well.

A Keanu Reeves crime thriller has become a streaming success six years later. Reeves is a divisive actor who achieved success after his breakthrough role in the 1989 time travel comedy Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and became a superstar after leading the Wachowskis' 1999 sci-fi blockbuster The Matrix. His performance style has been divisive, as he has earned nine Razzie award nominations, followed by a Razzie Redeemer Award nomination and a spot at No. 4 on the New York Times' list of the greatest actors of the 21st century.
While he is best known for his action roles in titles such as Speed, the Matrix franchise, and the John Wick franchise, Keanu Reeves movies have taken on a huge variety of genres. This includes starring opposite his Speed co-star Sandra Bullock in the time travel romance The Lake House, playing Jonathan Harker in the Francis Ford Coppola horror movie Bram Stoker's Dracula,...

During Remedy Entertainment’s Capital Markets Day, it was revealed that its upcoming game, Control 2, will be an action RPG, unlike its predecessor, Control, which was an action-adventure game. Remedy Entertainment had a great year, thanks to the success of Alan Wake 2, but this is just the beginning as it has laid out a plan that is inspired by Marvel Studios.

Sandra Bullock sent fans into a frenzy when she admitted her massive crush on Keanu Reeves—and her absolute fear of taking it further. Yeah, they had crazy chemistry in Speed, but Bullock was all nerves when it came to getting up close and personal with Hollywood’s favorite heartthrob. She was practically starstruck!

Since its release almost a year ago, Alan Wake 2 has drawn people in with its cerebral narrative, oppressive atmosphere, and experimental approach to game design. It has earned tremendous praise and cultivated a cult-like following along the way.

Way back in August, Remedy had revealed in its financial report that Alan Wake II, despite all of its acclaim and awards, had yet to turn a profit for the developer. Flash forward to the latest financial earnings report, and things are a little better, as Alan Wake II has nearly recouped its development and marketing expenses.
While it’s still a ways off from finally giving the developer some earnings, there’s still good news as a whole for Remedy. The report highlights revenue growth of 128.6% between July and September 2024, generating €17.9 million compared to 2023’s €7.8 million in the same period. That in turn offsets the increased development fees, which were primarily driven by a Control 2 related one-time payment from Annapurna (which is working with Remedy to bring Alan Wake and Control to TV and film), as well as higher development fees from the in-development Max Payne 1&2 Remake and Control...

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock can easily be two of the most bankable actors in the Hollywood business, with several well-acclaimed movies. But other than that, they also share a very beautiful, decades-long friendship. The duo crossed each other’s paths while working on the 1994 release Speed and have been friends ever since.
They also collaborated for a second time in the 2006 movie The Lake House, and fans wondered if there was something more to this friendship. Not so surprisingly, their camaraderie could have turned into something more in the midst of the movie, but the timing was just not right.

When Alan Wake 2 first launched almost a year ago, it felt as though Remedy was all set for this generation, having created one of the greatest horror games of our time. But, a year later, Sam Lake’s horror masterpiece is facing a more mundane nightmare of our own reality: money, or more specifically, the lack of it.

Unfortunately, despite critical acclaim and a recent boost from The Lake House Dlc, the game has yet to generate any tangible profits for the company. For a title like Alan Wake 2, with all the decisions Remedy was forced to make with it, this lack of profitability is a bit like a jump scare we all saw coming from a mile away.

Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 was one of the standout titles of 2023. It captivated players and critics with its immersive storytelling, haunting visuals, and intricate gameplay mechanics. Despite this acclaim, the game struggled to achieve the commercial success that many anticipated. It faced challenges in capturing a broad audience, leading to disappointing sales figures that didn’t reflect its critical reception.

The scary element of Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 is certainly much higher than its predecessor. It seems like Remedy has focused a lot on providing fans with a proper spine-chilling experience, in fact, the studio added a small creepy detail that many fans may not have even noticed.

In the game, the areas where players are not looking often change, particularly during jumpscares. Initially, many players new to horror games thought this was a bug, but it is a deliberate addition to give players a proper psychological horror experience. One of the game’s directors recently talked about this small gameplay element, also admitting that the studio might have “overdid” a bit in terms of its jump scares.

Alan Wake 2, the long-anticipated sequel to the 2010 psychological horror title, debuted in October 2023. The game follows two interconnected storylines involving novelist Alan Wake and FBI agent Saga Anderson. The game was met with enthusiasm from critics and players alike, shipping over 1.3 million units by February 2024.

One of the biggest talking points about Alan Wake 2 was the flashing images that developer Remedy sneaked from time to time, showing us that the monsters haunt the game and sometimes Alan himself. Even though Remedy’s boss believes the studio over-delivered on such scenes, the entire point of such a horror game is to keep us on our toes.

Alan Wake 2’s second and last Dlc, The Lake House, is out. The expansion is a key piece in Remedy Entertainment’s interconnected universe. This new Dlc for the beloved game brings closure to the Alan Wake saga and lays the groundwork for future stories in the Control franchise.

Remedy’s approach to world-building and storytelling across its games allows The Lake House to act as both a standalone experience and a bridge to Control’s highly anticipated sequel. But while it could be a connector to Control 2, there’s potential for Remedy to explore entirely new directions.

One of the things that makes Alan Wake 2 a masterpiece is its ability to juggle multiple tones. It’s a dark detective story. It’s a metafictional surrealist horror story. It’s got humor, scares, and even a full-on musical number. Remedy flexed their tonal muscles earlier this year with Alan Wake 2’s first Dlc, Night Springs, giving us three separate Elseworld-style stories all with their own thematic focus. These were charming little tales, but it feels like The Lake House, the game’s second and final Dlc, is the more substantial follow-up that fans of both Alan Wake and Control have been waiting for.
The story of The Lake House fills in some gaps in the main Alan Wake 2 narrative, showing how the Federal Bureau of Control ended up in Bright Falls when Alan returned. You play as the returning Agent Kieran Estevez, played by Janina Gavankar, who comes...

Coinciding with the release of The Lake House Dlc today, Alan Wake II is also receiving the free Anniversary Update that add various quality-of-life features to the game, including platform-specific updates and a “Gameplay Assist” menu with various toggles. In addition, developer Remedy has revealed details on the PlayStation 5 Pro enhancements coming to Alan Wake II ahead of the console’s release on November 7.
One of the most requested options included in the Anniversary Update is the ability to invert the X (horizontal) axis on the mouse and controller, and not just the Y (vertical) axis. Meanwhile, PlayStation players have had the DualSense controller updated to include gyro aiming support. You can turn the motion sensor function on and off, as well as tweak horizontal and vertical sensitivity, set gyro space, and choose whether your pitch, yaw, and roll directions are standard or inverted.

Sandra Bullock is no stranger to Hollywood, having starred in many movies, from comedies to thrillers, and dramas to romantic films. Although most of the 60-year-old’s films have been successful, some have been seen as completely nonsensical yet hilarious hits. But even an A-list actress like her isn’t immune to the occasional jab about her projects.

In fact, during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the actress was playfully taken aback when the host jokingly called her 2022 movie, The Lost City, “stupid” before calling it amazing. Although he believed it was a compliment, Bullock had to pull his leg before she agreed with the 60-year-old.

Alan Wake 2 fans have waited nearly a year to finish up the game's extended story and based on a recent leak, it seems that they'll soon be able to conclude the sequel's mysterious narrative. Alan Wake 2 has already treated fans to an extra dose of content with the Night Springs Dlc and while that was a fun distraction within the creative mind of the titular protagonist, the upcoming chapter The Lake House promises to answer more questions. Remedy Entertainment has largely kept quiet about the continued story, but all will soon come to light.
Over on X (formerly Twitter), user PlotPointsYT shared an image for a listing of Alan Wake 2: Deluxe Edition which specifies that The Lake House will arrive on October 22. That's less than five days from the time of writing, making Remedy's silence on the launch date a little odd. Having said that, the studio shadow-dropped the Night Springs Dlc,...

A Year Later, Alan Wake 2 Still Stands as the Ultimate Psychological Horror Experience for Halloween
Quick ViewA Tale of Two PsychesThe Fragility of the Human MindA World Beyond Worlds
When Remedy Entertainment decided it was time for another twisted and gripping narrative about a troubled protagonist, Alan Wake 2 came to light. The psychological horror title is a sequel that explores Alan Wake’s journey as a writer and storyteller. Thanks to the Night Springs and The Lake House DLCs, the game feels like an ever-evolving tale to be told around a campfire in a dark (preferably haunted) forest.
If you’ve been enjoying horror games for a while now, perhaps it’s time to dive into something deeper. Something that’s not just an experience filled with jumpscare clichés and predictable plot lines. This one’s a game that feels like Remedy Entertainment’s dive into Alan Wake’s many stories as it clutches onto the remaining fragments of a broken mind.
Note: there are no spoilers for the story.

Sandra Bullock doesn’t think the movie industry is "brave enough" to make a third ‘Speed’ film.The 60-year-old actress starred opposite Keanu Reeves in the 1994 action flick - as well as returning with Jason Patric for its derided sequel ‘Speed 2: Cruise Control’ - though has now admitted the chances of director Jan de Bont being given the opportunity to helm another bombastic instalment in the series are slim-to-none.Appearing alongside Reeves and de Bont at a Q+A session during a 30th-anniversary screening of the movie, Bullock said: "The geriatric version. It won’t be fast. "All these things happened because the crazy man [de Bont] in the greenish jacket over there. He’s so soft and gentle today and I’m like, ‘That’s not the man I remember.’ But he’s the man who put the energy and the idea together, knew what the audience wanted and demanded...

“Severance” co-executive producer and writer Mohamad El Masri is channeling the Innie/Outie duality for his critically acclaimed directorial debut “Other Other.”
The 25-minute YouTube short film stars Sosie Bacon and Scoot McNairy as a couple who live parallel lives…literally. Myka (Bacon) and Spyro (McNairy) have been dating online for a year before they decide to meet in person for the first time — only to realize that they live in alternate worlds and can’t actually be together. More sci-fi than “The Lake House,” “Other Other” was recently named the Short of the Week, and writer/director El Masri credited his “indie film hustle” for getting the short off the ground.
“I’d worked with Sosie Bacon on a TV series, ‘Here and Now’ on HBO, that lasted for one season. I met Sosie working there as a writer. I sort of kept track of her career as it grew,...

Beyond Fest hit overdrive Tuesday night with an electric anniversary screening of Jan de Bont’s iconic blockbuster Speed followed by an epic 50-minute Q&a with the filmmaker and his stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in a reunion 30 years in the making.
It was clear long before showtime that the event — part of the American Cinematheque at Egyptian Theatre series — would be special. Reeves, Bullock and de Bont had never previously shared the same stage to discuss their work on the 1994 film, which became a surprise hit after it grossed north of $350 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. It’s been more than a decade since Reeves and Bullock had a public outing together though they often have nice things to say about one another on talk shows or in magazines.

Rotten Tomatoes has been an authority on critical reviews since 1998. The review site offers both critical and audience ratings of movies and TV shows. Anything that has an average of 60% and over of positive reviews is certified fresh, while anything under 60% gets a splat.
Some actors like Nicolas Cage and Adam Sandler have had a horrible Rotten Tomatoes streak for years on end, only to break that streak with one good movie. Whether these performers star in these splats for the promise of a paycheck or because they genuinely thought they were good, their series of bad movies could have tanked their careers.

With the Federal Bureau of Control (Fbc) being a major feature, The Lake House serves as the perfect bridge between Alan Wake and Control. With eerie settings, mysterious experiments, and new characters, this Dlc is one that fans of both games should not overlook.
Alan Wake 2‘s Dlc Could Be The Building Block For Control 2
The Lake House begins where the main game left off, exploring the mysteries surrounding the Fbc’s research facility. In the base game, players encountered cryptic references to the Lake House incident but were cut off from discovering its true nature.

1980s nostalgia is out and 1990s nostalgia is in, with the horror genre doling out films like I Saw the TV Glow (review) and now Mr. Crocket, an adaptation of Brandon Espy’s 2022 short of the same name (itself a part of Hulu’s Bite Size Halloween series). Espy’s feature debut sadly sees the filmmaker struggling to find inspiration, working with a pedestrian script despite some impressive gore effects and puppetry.

Remedy and Epic are keeping their word. After releasing Alan Wake II last October, fans will be revisiting the game with its next Dlc in “The Lake House” next month. The announcement was made during the Sony State of Play, and was accompanied by an appropriately creepy new trailer.
The new Dlc is set in an eerie new location on the shores of Cauldron Lake within the Federal Bureau of Control’s research station known as the Lake House. A catastrophic event has occurred, where reckless experiments have caused reality to collide with the Dark Place. This expansion unfolds parallel to the main game, putting you in the shoes of Fbc agent Kiran Estevez, portrayed by Janina Gavankar.

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock co-starred in the 1994 hit film Speed and wouldn't reunite on-screen until 12 years later. Speed stars Reeves as an LAPD officer working with a passenger, played by Bullock, to stop a bus rigged to explode if it goes below 50 mph. Though Speed's bomb logistics don't hold up, and the plot itself is outlandish, the film has remained iconic and relevant three decades later. The movie was also a financial success, grossing $350.4 million on a $30 million budget.
Although Speed was a career-defining role for Reeves, he did not return for the sequel, Speed 2, in 1997. The follow-up suffered critically and at the box office for many reasons, including the missing chemistry between Bullock and Reeves' replacement, Jason Patric. Speed was not the last time the two actors had an on-screen romance, however. They reunited 12 years later on the big screen, but their subsequent project is no...

Beloved, breathtaking actor Keanu Reeves has revealed the bizarre reason why he was forced to star in one of his most critically panned movies. While Reeves has carved out a legacy as a cinematic hero thanks to roles in the likes of The Matrix and John Wick, the 2000 thriller The Watcher instead puts Reeves in the role of a villain in this tale of a depraved serial killer and the FBI agent on his tail. The role of a killer seems ill-fitting for Reeves, and the actor admits to having never found the script interesting. So why did he end up starring in this thriller with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 11%? Well, because his so-called friend forged his signature.
I never found the script interesting, but a friend of mine forged my signature on the agreement. I couldnt prove he did and I didnt want to get sued, so I...

There’s a saying that “matches are made in heaven” However, if Francis Ford Coppola makes one here on earth who would even think of denying it? Such was the case of Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves who played Mina and Jonathan Harker in Coppola’s 1992 Gothic horror “Dracula”. In an interview relating to her recent appearance in the movie “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” Ryder revealed that Keanu and she still call each other husband and wife to this day.

Keanu himself is now 60 years ‘young’ and maintains his presence in the showbiz as one of the most prominent stars in Hollywood. Reeves has insane versatility. Whether it is his appearance in the supernatural world of DC’s Constantine or something softer like “The Lake House”.

The news comes as part of the latest financial report from Remedy, which also reports that their multiplayer project codenamed Condor has also entered full production.
The news regarding Control 2 and Condor was expected, as Remedy had mentioned back in February that both titles were expected to move into the next stage of development by this time.
Per Remedy CEO Tero Virtala, regarding Condor, the development team “has worked on multiple maps and different mission types, and we have organized a growing amount of internal and limited external playtesting for feature validation and feedback.” Meanwhile, work on Control 2 has passed the “proof-of-concept” stage and entered into the production readiness stage, with the team “[reaching] an important milestone in delivering a build of the...

Keanu Reeves has had an interesting career since the 90s and has been labeled one of the bonafide action heroes in Hollywood. Instead of the macho, indestructible type of heroes presented by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, Reeves’s heroes are vulnerable yet are determined to overcome all obstacles.

These traits are seen in films such as Point Break, Speed, Matrix, and the John Wick films. Outside of his action films, Reeves is not considered a strong dramatic performer and many have criticized his acting abilities in films such as Much Ado About Nothing, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Another failed attempt at an intriguing thriller was 2015’s Knock Knock where his unconvincing performance was exposed.
