Earlier this week, the cast of House of the Dragon sat down to read through the upcoming third season, which starts filming this month. When we last we left the show, Westeros was at war, with several major clashes just on the horizon. The third season will hit the ground running with a major battle; we expect to see lots of fireworks when the cameras start rolling.

If you've read George R.R. Martin's book Fire & Blood, you have a general idea of how events are going to play out. Still, the cast and crew want to keep what they can under wraps. But if you get a bunch of actors with social media into a room, that can be difficult. Case in point: Steve Toussaint, who plays richest-man-in-Westeros Corlys Velaryon, posted a picture showing a list of character who will appear in the fourth episode of season 3. He deleted it quickly,...

Game of Thrones might have ended on a disappointing note, but there is still a lot of hope for the universe HBO is trying to create around the fantasy epic series. Based on George R.R. Martin‘s books, HBO has greenlighted and even canceled many spin-offs and prequels to Game of Thrones, but in this list, we are only talking about the shows and movies that have been confirmed to come out.

Based on Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg stories, the upcoming series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, will be the second Game of Thrones spin-off series. It revolves around Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg (Egg is actually Aegon V Targaryen), as they travel through Westeros and go on various lighthearted adventures.

While Disney is replacing legendary theme park attractions and angering everyone with a pulse, it seems 2025 could be the year of Universal Studios.

From Marvel to Star Wars to Disney classics, it is no wonder Disney+ is one of the most popular streaming platforms for finding great movies, and January 2025 has a terrific collection. 2024 came to an end with a lot of big Disney titles for fans to look forward to watching on Disney+ in the future, like Moana 2 and Mufasa: The Lion King. There is also a lot to look forward to from the streamer, with MCU movies like Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four, as well as anticipated sequels like Freakier Friday and Zootopia 2.

While there will be a big wait for some of those titles to land on Disney+, there are plenty of movies to choose from in the library in January 2025. Some of Disney's biggest 2024 releases are available, like Deadpool & Wolverine and Inside Out 2, as well as some overlooked gems like The Young Woman and the Sea.

Raquel (Clara Galle) and Ares (Julio Peña) had a rocky on-again, off-again relationship, but they got a happy ending in Through My Window 3: Looking at You. Ares and Raquel have been the main couple of the entire trilogy, experiencing steamy romance and crushing breakups throughout. Looking at You is the final installment of the Netflix original trilogy, so they had to make a final decision about their relationship, one way or another.

As the final chapter and one of the best movies in the Through My Window trilogy, Looking at You had a lot of story lines left to wrap up. After Through My Window: Across the Sea's ending and Yoshi's tragic death, everyone's life had taken a turn for the worse. Raquel and Ares were in new relationships, though neither compared to the love they once shared, and the rest of the cast of Through My Window: Looking at You...

When Marty goes back in time and unwittingly bumps into his parents, he doesnt tell them hes their son from the future. Lorraine assumes his name is Calvin Klein, because its written in his underwear, and he just rolls with it. He pretended Doc Brown was his Uncle Doc and he made sure his parents fell in love without revealing he came from the future.

The Azurite Sea set for Disney Lorcana has dropped, and with it are a host of new cards and new ways to bling out a deck with the Enchanted versions of various cards. These cards are always exciting to find in a pack and they seem almost too pretty to play with. However, for those who do choose to use these in a deck, it can be quite the flex and a way to mess with an opponents mind.

As with most Disney Lorcana sets, the top prices on the market according to TCGPlayer are all Enchanted versions of various cards. These can be hard to find and even harder to pull by chance, so it is a nice surprise when you do find one. However, some of these cards do not have a market price listed, as they have not been sold yet. Due to that, take these listings...

However, all of these Mma accolades never forced him to stop exploring his gaming fantasies. It’s not only him; we have previously seen how another Mma legend, Conor McGregor, embarked upon his passions and is going to surface his own Bare-Knuckle Boxing video game soon. The Irish superstar has recently bought an ultra-luxurious yacht, which Holloway will only buy if there is one feature.

Doctor Who spin-off The War Between The Land and The Sea could bring back classic characters like Jo Grant, Vastra, and Martha Jones. The return of Unit could set the stage for a clash with the Sea Devils that doesn't revolve around the Doctor. Villains like Icthar and The Master could also make impactful returns in The War Between The Land and The Sea.

The newly announced Doctor Who spin-off The War Between The Land and The Sea could be the perfect place to bring back some notable classic Doctor Who characters. As explained by Russell T. Davies during the Doctor Who panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, the spin-off will force humanity to contend with the returning Sea Devils without the aid of the Doctor. Screen Rant was in attendance during the event, which confirmed a few of the major players in the upcoming series.

Important members of Unit like...

Russell T Davies expands the Whoniverse with a long-awaited spin-off focusing on the Sea Devils at San Diego Comic-Con. The series reunites familiar faces like Kate Stewart and introduces new characters played by Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. The Sea Devil's emergence triggers an international crisis that involves Unit in The War Between The Land and The Sea.

Terrifying old foes and familiar faces collide, as the first spin-off of Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor Who era is confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con with The War Between The Land And The Sea. Gatwa took on the role of the Time Lord following David Tennant's brief return for 2023's 60th-anniversary specials. Despite representing a whole new era of the show, returning showrunner Russell T Davies has long wanted to see the Whoniverse grow, revisiting familiar companions on their own journeys and taking advantage of the full scope of the universe.

Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel, had a fascinating career beyond her aquatic feat. Young Woman and The Sea brings Ederle's heartwarming story to life without sensationalizing it, earning praise from reviewers. Despite injuries that ended her swimming career, Ederle continued to inspire others and was honored in the National Women's Hall of Fame.

Though Disneys Young Woman and The Sea commemorates American athlete Gertrude "Trudy" Ederles impressive aquatic feat, she continued to have an interesting career after the event. Young Woman and The Sea is based on the true story of Trudy Ederle, as she became the first woman to swim across the English Channel in 1926. Reviews of Young Woman and The Sea praise the films ability to share the realistic and heartwarming story without going to cinematic extremes.

Nicknamed Queen of the Waves, Ederle was a record-setting New York-born athlete from the early 20th century.

Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur is a rare sort these days. Here is a director who has built a successful, decades-long career making solid, genre-heavy programmers while often returning to Iceland to put in solid work. There was a time that this kind of output was the lifeblood of the industry. His type nearly extinct now, Kormákur beats on, telling stories for adults.

His new film, Touch, fits right into the mold. Talk about a relic: a mid-budget romantic drama released in theaters! Written by Kormákur and Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson (based on Ólafur’s 2022 novel of the same name), it tells the story of Kristófer (Egill Olafsson), an older widow who shuts down his restaurant in Iceland and travels to Japan in an attempt to find Miko, the love of his life from half a century ago.

It’s the beginning of 2020 and Covid-19 is swiftly shutting the world down. We...

Sing Sing, the powerful, poignant prison drama starring Colman Domingo, opens NY/LA, with indie love stories Dandelion and Touch debuting on hundreds of screens as distributors continue to tinker with release patterns. Martin Scorsese, eloquent as always, narrates (and executive produced) Made In England: The Films of Powell And Pressburger. Sorry/Not Sorry takes on comedian Louis C.K.

It’s a mixed specialty market still below pre-Covid levels but buoyed recently by hits like Thelma and hopeful that cinema goers are starting to sort out what to see, when and where.

“I think you’re starting to see who’s really theatrical and who isn’t. The lines are becoming clearer. Like, ‘Okay, I’m going to see this, Inside Out 2, in a theater, and I’m going to see that at the Angelika, or wherever, it might be. But I’m going to see it in a theater,...

Trudy Ederle swims across the English Channel, facing challenges and sabotage from her coach. The film adaptation of Ederle's story is fairly accurate but embellishes some details. Ederle's determination and achievements highlight the obstacles faced by women in sports.

Young Woman and the Sea ends with a triumphant swim across the English Channel for Gertrude Trudy Ederle. The film is based on Ederles true story, and follows her from childhood through both of her attempts at crossing the English Channel, and the immediate aftermath of such a feat. Young Woman and the Sea reviews have been mostly positive, with praise going to Daisy Ridleys performance as Trudy. After Jabez Wolffe crushes seasick pills into Trudys tea, she slows down and has to be picked up out of the water.

Frustrated with what happened, Trudy goes along with the plan...

Young Woman and the Sea isn't overly sensational in its true story adaptation. Trudy Ederle's grounded story focuses on her relationship with her sister Margaret. The great cast, led by Daisy Ridley, elevates the heartfelt and sincere film.

As theyre both based on real-life swimmers, I couldnt help but immediately think of last years Nyad while watching Disneys Young Woman and the Sea. But while the former is a film I did not enjoy because it lacked a personal slant, Young Woman and the Sea, directed by Joachim Rnning from a screenplay by Jeff Nathanson, effectively infuses heart and connection into its story. Its what instantly elevates it from being a by-the-numbers true story adaptation, based on the book Young Woman and the Sea: How Trudy Ederle Conquered the English Channel and Inspired the World by Glenn Stout.

7/10 ProsYoung Woman and the Sea isn't overly sensational in its true...

“They don’t make ‘em like this anymore,” we wistfully say these days when praising skillful mainstream movies, ones that remind us of a past when Hollywood used to stir us more regularly through moving original films.

There is truth in that overused nostalgic acclaim, even though few movies actually deserve it as much as Joachim Rønning’s (“Kon-Tiki”) classically glorious “Young Woman and The Sea,” a defiantly big-screen, consistently enthralling biopic that both earns one’s genuine tears, and inspires everyone of all ages to dream a little bigger, go a little further.

For the film’s wondrous rebel Trudy Ederle, who became the first woman to swim across the treacherous 21-mile English Channel in 1926, that big dream at first wasn’t even becoming a legitimate athlete, let alone a history-making pioneer. Born to German immigrant parents of modest means in the Coney Island of 1905, Trudy just wanted to swim,...

Gertrude Ederle loved the water. “To me, the sea is like a person — like a child I’ve known a long time,” she once said. “ I never feel alone when I’m out there.”

That comfort combined with a dogged sense of determination led the young German American swimmer (played here by Daisy Ridley) to defy odds and sexist naysayers. In 1926, Ederle swam the English Channel in 14 hours and 31 minutes, beating the previous world record, which was held by a man. Her accomplishment helped change perceptions about women in competitive sports. When Ederle returned to New York, the city feted her with a parade on a scale never seen before (or since). They cheered her homecoming and dubbed her the Queen of the Waves.

Like all trailblazers, Ederle’s story began with obstacles and hostility, many of which director Joachim Rønning accords appropriate levels of respect in Young Woman and the Sea.

Daisy Ridley is back and ready to set Hollywood ablaze in a string of new roles that are sure to prove her to be one of the most underrated actresses of her generation. Ridley is set to star in Young Woman and the Sea, an inspirational film based on the true story of the first woman to swim across the English Channel, hitting theaters on May 31. Moreover, in the next several years, she will also appear in the Die Hard-scenario thriller Cleaner and a new Star Wars film following the continued adventures of Rey Skywalker.

While the future of her career is certainly exciting, Daisy Ridley has already starred in her fair share of terrific films. From her early appearances as Rey in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy to supporting roles in epic murder mysteries, these are the best films in Daisy Ridley's career so far.

It’s kind of been a minute since we’ve heard from Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur. Starting his career with acclaimed Icelandic films and thrillers like “101 Reykjavík,” “The Sea,” and “A Little Trip to Heaven,” he then graduated to Hollywood filmmaking, taking on commercial action and thriller efforts like “Contraband,” “2 Guns,” and the mountain climbing film “Everest” starring Jake Gyllenhaal and an ensemble American cast.

The Nice House on the Lake returns as The Nice House by the Sea with a new cast and location. The second cycle revisits apocalyptic concepts with a fresh twist to captivate readers. The new cycle reunites the award-winning creative team of James Tynion IV and Álvaro Martínez Bueno.

Since her Star Wars trilogy ended, Daisy Ridley has largely ploughed herself into indie fare. She’s soon to be seen in morbid drama Sometimes I Think About Dying, and led Neil Burger’s psychological thriller The Marsh King’s Daughter – but next, she’s switching gears again. She’s the titular young woman of Young Woman And The Sea, which is a character-focused human drama – but not an indie film. No, it's a Disney production from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, with Ridley playing Gertrude 'Trudy' Ederle – the 1920s American swimming champion who made it her mission to swim the English Channel. Check out the trailer here:

Anyone else feeling nippy just watching that? For all that Rey had Daisy Ridley leaping through Star Destroyer caverns and fighting for her life in snowy battlefields, this looks like a different kind of physical challenge – heading into the deep end (literally) for a tale of personal and psychological endurance.

Yearning can be a difficult feeling to capture on-screen. Love stories are little without a tragic element, and defining the spaces in between moments of romantic reverie can be a challenge for even the best filmmakers and the most dedicated actors. Yun Su-ik and leading performers Han So-hee and Han Hae-in have taken a surprisingly unconventional approach to a tale of young love with “Heavy Snow”, a slight but cutting series of snapshots of a brief high-school fling that has long-lasting ramifications.

Heavy Snow is screening at BFI Flare

Han Hae-in is Su-an, an acting-major loner living in a small coastal town, introduced by wielding a loaded paintball gun as part of her performance in drama class. When performing Shakespeare, she resembles less of a traditional Hamlet and more of a school shooter, keeping her classmates on the backfoot as she alienates them with her extreme commitment to her version of a classic role.

Edward Bond, the Oscar-nominated Blow-Up screenwriter and playwright whose Saved and Early Morning were banned in the UK, fueling a legal review that led to the end of stage censorship in the country, has died, his agency said. He was 89.

Casarotto Ramsay and Associates said he died Sunday but did not reveal the cause.

“Edward was one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century,” the agency tweeted. “He made his mark upon the theatrical world with radical, thought-provoking, and unerringly original work.”

Bond’s first screenplay was the English-language dialogue for Blow-Up, Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1966 classic that starred David Hemming and Vanessa Redgrave. Earning him an Original Screenplay Oscar nom, it was the first of about a dozen film credits including Walkabout (1971) and Laughter in the Dark (1968).

Born on July 18, 1934, in London, Bond quit school as a teenager and would see his debut play, The Pope’s Wedding, produced...

Netflix's Spanish-language romance trilogy, Through My Window, has been uneven in terms of execution. Across the Sea has a shocking death, while Looking at You gets the couple back on track. Despite low ratings, the first film sets the foundation for Ares and Raquel's romance journey.

Netflix's movie series Through My Window has been a big success since it started in 2022, but the Spanish language film trilogy is uneven in its ranking of quality. Whether it's losing a character or a plotline that sets the story back, each film in the Through My Window trilogy has its reasons for its placement. Along with the first movie, Through My Window, there are also two sequels to add to the list. The second sequel is called Through My Window: Across the Sea, which came out in June 2023. The third movie, Through My Window 3: Looking At You was released on February...

The International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) has become a site for heated debate over the Israel-Hamas war, with the festival drawing protests from both sides.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday, IDFA artistic director Orwa Nyrabia confirms that “around 10” directors have pulled their films from the festival lineup in protest over comments made by the IDFA. The Palestinian Film Institute (Pfi) over the weekend also announced it was pulling out from all organized activities at the IDFA film market.

“We respect the choices and the decisions of all filmmakers, whether that is to speak their minds on stage or online or to withdraw their films, all forms of peaceful protest, including criticism of our work, we honor and respect,” Nyrabia tells THR.

On Monday, the Pfi staged a demonstration outside the main IDFA headquarters to demand a ceasefire in Gaza, and to criticize the IDFA for its response...

The success of the 2023 live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid opens up the possibility of a sequel, providing Halle Bailey with another opportunity to shine as Ariel. The director of the first film stated that Little Mermaid sequels are possible, as the story has many interesting characters and potential storylines to explore. While adapting The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea could give the less popular sequel a second chance, it would make more sense to hold its premise for a third live-action movie and explore a different story for The Little Mermaid 2.

The 2023 live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid generated so much buzz that it's only natural there is speculation about a sequel, but if it ends up coming to fruition, the movie can't remake the animated follow-up. Although it received mixed results at the box office, the 2023 Little Mermaid is still considered to be one of Disney's best live-action remakes,...

Romy has officially branched out from The xx with Mid Air, her first-ever solo album. The project is out now via Young.

Like much of The xx members’ solo releases, Mid Air is a dance album. Romy worked with producers Fred again.., Stuart Price, and xx bandmate Jamie xx for the record, which a press release describes as a “love letter” to queer clubs. Still, its 11 songs also deal with heavy subject matter including grief and identity. According to Romy, the record is full of “emotional music to dance to.”

Mid Air begins with lead single “Loveher,” the first song written for the project. The cheerful queer love song comes with an equally wholesome background story: After Romy and Fred again.. were paired up to write songs for other artists, “Fred asked me, who could this be for?” the singer recalled. “And I tentatively said… Maybe me?’” From there, work...

Ocean movies often default to sharks as the main focus, but there are so many other possibilities for storytelling in the vastness of the sea. The ocean should be portrayed as more than just a scary place; it has a mysterious beauty that is often overlooked in films. Hollywood needs to explore a wider range of sea creatures and mythologies instead of relying on sharks to create fear and suspense in ocean movies.

When you think of a movie about the ocean, what's the first one that comes to mind? It'll likely be something akin to Jaws, The Meg, or even Sharknado if you're feeling silly. What do those movies have in common? As if it wasn't obvious by one of the titles mentioned, they are all about the ocean!

Just kidding (mostly), but the premise of sea films almost always include sharks or are about the sharp-toothed sea creature.

Anime has many tropes and traditions that are found in most shows. Character types and settings are the most common recurring story elements, but one of the most fun is the almost obligatory beach or pool episode.

Anime beach and pool episodes are often filler content between story arcs. Recently, though, writers have been weaving them into the main plots. The episodes almost always feature the characters frolicking in the water, and they typically feature a lot of fan service. But the best beach or pool episodes also develop the characters during their summer escapades.

The 57th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival got off to a banging start on Friday evening as free opening concerts by Russell Crowe — with his musical collective Indoor Garden Party — and British electronic music band Morcheeba got crowds rocking and grooving in the square in front of the picturesque Czech spa town’s Hotel Thermal.

Morcheeba fans came out in droves in the early evening despite some rain, cheering and moving along to such hits as opening number “The Sea” and “Trigger Hippie.” The performance followed the fest’s opening ceremony and seemed to put the town into party mode.

After Morcheeba’s appearance, anticipation started building for the late music act. Just before 11 p.m., Crowe arrived on stage, with a drink cup in hand, where he was greeted with loud cheers and applause. Earlier in the evening he had received the Crystal Globe for outstanding...

Black Mirror season 6 has delivered exceptional and not-so-great moments in its highly-anticipated return. The critically-acclaimed Netflix series added five new installments to its impressive anthological episodes, each featuring an inventive and cautionary tale of society, human nature, and the negative effects of various technologies. Black Mirror has always contained unique perspectives and innovative narratives that reveal the dark sides of scientific advancements and their potentially dangerous effects on individuals, relationships, and corporations. Typically set in a near-distant future, Black Mirror reflects the potentially hazardous downsides of a plugged-in world.

While Black Mirror season 6 rankings from worst to best may vary from person to person, each episode possesses its specific list of pros and cons that collectively advance the Black Mirror universe in a promising direction.

Warning: The following contains Spoilers for Black Mirror season 6

Black Mirror season 6, episode 3 "Beyond the Sea" features several shocking deaths in the space-themed episode. The story takes place in an alternate version of 1969 where technology exists allowing the two astronauts to essentially transfer their consciousness back to highly-sophisticated mechanical replicas of themselves back home. What begins as a friendly gesture ends in a sinister and bleak meditation of inescapable trauma and the unyielding human drive to connect with others in order to maintain a sense of purpose.

The "Beyond the Sea" cast is led by Aaron Paul and Josh Hartnett as two astronauts who complete maintenance on their spaceship. Cliff (Paul) and David (Hartnett) are two years into a six-year voyage in outer space.
