Every family has their stable of Christmas movies that have to be watched during the month of December. New additions like "Spirited" starring Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell attempt to find a way into that annual rotation by updating "A Christmas Carol" and other holiday mainstays, which is a mild form of cheating as far as I'm concerned. Tried and true classics like "White Christmas" and "It's a Wonderful Life" may seem a little outdated, so take no shame in updating the Christmas movie list with "Love Actually" and "Die Hard", or even scarier entries like "Rare Exports" and "Krampus."

The big question for the new holiday action comedy "Violent Night" is whether or not an R-rated, butt-kicking Santa Claus (David Harbour) will end up being worthy of a re-watch each year. In any case, director Tommy Wirkola hopes that his version of a Christmas classic can deliver some crowd-pleasing...

Last month, we heard that Zazie Beetz (Atlanta), Josh Hartnett (Penny Dreadful), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Kate Mara (House of Cards), Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Danny Ramirez (Top Gun: Maverick), Clara Rugaard (Love Gets a Room), Auden Thornton (Arlington Road), and Anjana Vasan (Spider-Man: Far from Home) has signed on to star in season 6 of the Netflix anthology series Black Mirror. Now Deadline reports that Rory Culkin (Scream 4) has been cast in an episode of the show as well.

No details have been revealed about any of the characters these cast members will be playing. We do know that, other than Culkin, all of the actors listed above will be appearing in the first three episodes of the season. It’s not clear when Culkin will be showing up.

Here's the first proper trailer for Amazon's new series Lore, which is set to give real-life scary stories the true crime treatment.

Amazon’s television adaptation of Aaron Mahnke’s popular podcast Lore is creeping up on audiences with horror-inducing intrigue in time for Halloween. The series, manifesting as a 6-episode horror anthology, will showcase the podcast’s accounts of real-life scary stories, urban legends and other assorted folklore, using a mix of animation, live-action and archival footage.

Here's the first full trailer for the series...

Podcast creator Aaron Mahnke narrates the clip and, like in his podcast, the evidence he presents in the show will no doubt serve as the chilling context.

Expect to hear and see tales about vampires, werewolves, spirits, changelings and, as notably featured in the promotional material, a creepy doll given to a young boy that purportedly came alive with evil purposes...

Millie Bobby Brown became last year’s breakout star after appearing in the Duffer Brothers’ Netflix series “Stranger Things.” Her role as the supernatural Eleven was praised by critics and fans, and now the tiny starlet has landed her first feature film.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Brown will star in “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” Legendary’s sequel to Gareth Edwards’s 2014 film. Michael Dougherty will be helming the movie, which he co-wrote with Zach Shields. The duo previous worked together on “Krampus.”

No plot details or additional information about Brown’s role were revealed at this time.

Before her breakout role she appeared in episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Modern Family,” “Intruders” and was Young Alice in the short-lived series “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.” Brown will next be seen in the second season of “Stranger Things,...

Just days after Michael Dougherty signed on to direct Godzilla: King of Monsters, after previously signing on to co-write the script with Zach Shields, the sequel has finaly found its first cast member. Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, who is currently filming the second season of the hit Netflix series, has signed on to star in this Godzilla sequel. This project will mark the 12-year-old actress' feature film debut, after playing the popular character Eleven on Netflix's Stranger Things.

Deadline broke the news of this casting, but no details about her character have been given yet. There haven't been any story details released at this time, but the project seems to be on the right track now, after a big setback. Max Borenstein, who wrote the 2014 blockbuster Godzilla, had come aboard to write the script, with Gareth Edwards originally set to return to the helm, after he had finished...

You likely saw a lot of Stranger Things' Eleven this Halloween but get ready to see more of the real deal when the Netflix series returns for Season 2. In what shouldn't be that much of a surprise, Millie Bobby Brown is set to return to the 80s. TV Line says their sources tell them Brown, who previously starred on BBC America's Intruders, will return for the second season of the hit sci-fi, nostalgia-packed show. Producers Matt and Ross Duffer (aka The Duffer Brothers) told Entertainment Weekly previously they would be continuing the story with characters like Mike, Dustin, and Joyce but "We don’t know about Eleven. We leave that up in the air." Netflix declined to comment, most likely because they'd like to keep how Eleven will be back under wraps. When I heard the news, I wasn't shocked. Brown's Eleven was an integral part of the story,...

Daniel Myrick, Director Myrick worked on a few shorts and a documentary about the Blair Witch after the film’s release and is currently in post-production for “Under the Bed,” a story of where a stalker took up residence under the bed of his target. In 2006, he co-founded a direct to DVD division of Warner Home Video that specializes in horror films. Eduardo Sanchez, Director Like Myrick, he worked on several shorts and the documentary about the Blair Witch, and then worked on TV series like “Intruders” and “Supernatural.” He is in pre-production for “Griffin’s Ghost” and just announced his new project titled.

The young cast of Stranger Things have been a big hit both in the show and with their talents outside the Upside Down. But Millie Bobby Brown, who played Eleven on the show, made a bigger impact with her shaved head and she's just posted the video of it all going down. Brown, who I recognized from BBC America's Intruders where she played the extremely intense Madison O'Donnell, was a fantastic addition to Stranger Things. She's also one of the few young actors asked to change their look dramatically for a role. A few adult actors have gone the shaved-head route recently - remember when Karen Gillen did it to play Nebula for Guardians of the Galaxy? - but it was a bigger deal for Brown and her family. Not too long ago Variety asked the Duffer Brothers where the inspiration for Eleven's look came from. They wound up...

Vampires have become ubiquitous on TV, but Van Helsing star Kelly Overton feels confident that Syfy’s upcoming twist on the classic bloodsucker tale will stand out from the pack.

The kids of “Stranger Things” are, in fact, kind of strange — but in a great way. Child actors can struggle to blend their cute, normal selves with really acting when called upon, but the young ensemble of Netflix’s new hit had no such problems. And leading the way with the most challenging role of Season 1 was Millie Bobby Brown, the 12-year-old U.K. native who brought intimacy and humanity to Eleven.

Brown, who was born in Spain to British parents, made her way to the United States (by way of Florida) at age seven where she took up acting. After moving to Los Angeles and landing parts in “Intruders,” “Modern Family” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” Brown was living in England when she got the call about auditioning for “Stranger Things.”

“It really came out of the blue, to be honest,” Brown said, sitting down with IndieWire on the set...

The world of Doctor Who has changed greatly in the space of just 10 years. The cast and crew have almost completely been replaced since 2005, including a number of new actors to play the errant Time Lord and his companions.

But what has happened to the class of '05? Where are Rose and Mickey now? What is the writer of 'Dalek' up to? And where can you see more work from the director of 'Rose'?

Here it is then, your guide to the main players of Doctor Who series one.

The Cast

After his three-month on-screen stint as the Doctor, Christopher Eccleston's career continued in much the same vein, taking in theatre, interesting television roles and the odd blockbuster.

Post-2005, the Northern actor went Stateside to take on the role of invisible man Claude in the Us series Heroes. From there, he popped up in a very amusing Doctor Who-esque cameo as Dr.

As suspected, the Intruders TV show has been cancelled after one season of eight episodes. BBC America and BBC Two have decided not to order a second season.

On Intruders, a former Lapd detective (John Simm) investigates strange occurences which lead him to a secret society whose members seek immortality by taking over the bodies of others. The rest of the cast includes Mira Sorvino, Tory Kittles, James Frain, and Millie Brown.

Executive producer Glen Morgan broke the news of the cancellation on Twitter and wrote, "Well, Reverti, this life is over. Intruders will live only in 8 episodes. We can't thank those that supported us enough... #Intruders such an intelligent audience willing to be challenged and face tough questions. Hope we will all be triggered in 9 years. What goes around, comes around. #Intruders. Thank you! 9!"

The BBC has called time on the John Simm-headlined Intruders, after eight episodes...

Sad news today for fans of the BBC America/BBC Two co-production Intruders: there's not going to be a season two.

The show, which starred John Simm and Mira Sorvino, had completed its first season run of eight episodes. Based on the novel The Intruders by Michael Marshall Smith, there were plans for more episodes, but they've come to nought.

The news of the show's demise was Tweeted by its showrunner and lead writer, Glen Morgan....

Well, Reverti, this life is over. Intruders will live only in 8 episodes. We can't thank those that supported us enough... (more)

— Glen Morgan (@GlenMrgn) February 27, 2015

Season one of the show didn't set ratings alight in either the UK or the Us, and its dark subject matter always meant it was facing an uphill battle. It's available on DVD now.

Intruders has been cancelled by the BBC.

Showrunner Glen Morgan confirmed that the John Simm series "will live only in eight episodes" after failing to impress the broadcaster with its performance.

The BBC America and BBC Two co-production stars Simm as Whelan, who has escaped a dark, violent past for a quiet life in the Pacific Northwest.

Morgan tweeted: "Well, Reverti, this life is over. Intruders will live only in 8 episodes. We can't thank those that supported us enough..."

Meanwhile, author Michael Marshall Smith - who wrote the book the series was adapted from - praised Morgan and his team for the 'brilliant' job they did on the series.

He wrote: "It was never a given there would be more - though we did discuss ideas for future arcs - and for a variety of reasons the first season had to out-perform the norm in order to continue. Unfortunately it did not.

Keanu Reeves’ current career reboot, kickstarted by a return-to-form turn in John Wick, looks set to continue if this week’s news is any indication. Yesterday he signed up to co-star in Nicolas Winding Refn’s female-led horror, The Neon Demon, he’s already completed work on Eli Roth’s Knock Knock, and now, he’s hitting the streets of New York for his next effort, Daughter Of God.

As the film is currently in the process of being sold at the European Film Market, a small batch of images from the project have hit the web. Reeves takes center stage in both snaps as a police detective investigating the murder of his partner.

Written and directed by Gee Malik Linton – who will make his directorial debut with the movie – the story hones in on Reeves’ Detective, Scott Galban, as he seeks out the truth during his investigation.

Things are getting pretty complex in the supernatural world of Intruders. Here's Gerri's review of Ave Verum Corpus...

This review contains spoilers.

1.4 Ave Verum Corpus

Last week on Intruders, Richard continued to kick ass, Jack and Amy realised that they were in desperate need of couples counselling (or in Amy’s case, a good exorcist), and Marcus continued to terrorize the Seattle suburbs as a nine year old girl. Seriously. A nine year old girl.

Episode four starts out with Marcus, asleep in the back seat of a car, dreaming of the time Maddy’s parents bought the beach house and she sat down at the piano, for the first time ever, and playing like a pro. His dreams got darker as he remembered the end of his past life, getting (what I assumed to be) buried alive. Which begs the question, exactly how long has Marcus been squatting like...

John Simm's Jack is dragged deeper into the weirdness surrounding the Intruders in this week's instalment...

Last week on Intruders, we indulged in some delicious creepy time feelings without being bludgeoned about the head and neck with intrigue. Marcus/Maddie made a run for Seattle, narrowly escaping an ass-kicking Richard. Jack gets a cabbie beaten up in pursuit of his missing wife, after which he gets a call from Amy, who is back at home. And the recently deceased conspiracy theorist pirate radio host has been replaced by the rifle-toting Tim Truth.

This week, Jack tucks his tail and (drinks and) drives back home to his wife. Or, as he is starting to realize, to the person who only appears to be his wife. When he gets to the house, Amy is pissed off and accusatory. She lashes out at Jack for potentially ruining her relationship with her boss...

Previously on Intruders, we met a few odd characters, a couple of sinister ones, and were beaten over the head with exposition once or twice. Immortality: not just for vampires any more. A secret sect has discovered a way to cram their souls into the bodies of others. Very Being John Malkovich. What the series premiere seemed to imply is that the soul cramming happens every nine years, on the victim’s birthday (or maybe nine years after the last host died?). The process is facilitated by Richard and Frank Shepherd. How it is done or why certain victims are picked has not yet been revealed.

Does that make the perpetrators some kind of psychic parasites? Is the host soul killed or forced into submission? Can...

New John Simm-starring supernatural drama Intruders, now showing in the UK, gets off to a bumpy but promising start...

Intruders, created by Glen Morgan of X-Files fame (a man who knows his creeping dread), is based on the 2007 Michael Marshall Smith novel. Like Morgan, Smith is not a newcomer to the sci/fi thriller genre. Winner of the Philip K. Dick award, he is a prolific author who has been compared to both Dick and Stephen King.

Such recommendations can have polarizing effects. On one hand these are writers who have made their money churning out commercial paperbacks. On the other hand they have written consistently engaging work for decades.

What does this mean for viewers? That the series is based on a novel by an author with a proven record of success and that it was adapted by a showrunner with a proven record of success in the genre.

The interesting thing, so far, about Intruders — the BBC America drama about body-hopping immortals and the people caught in their path airs its sixth episode tonight at 10 p.m. — is that it invites more questions than it answers.

I haven’t been at all sure about the subject matter since.” Forster is sure about a few other things, however, like the fact that his legendary Breaking Bad character, the Disappearer,...

Three episodes into BBC America’s Intruders and one aspect of the show’s motives has become clear. The almost painfully slow pace it opened with looks set to continue throughout the remainder of its short eight episode run. If the trailers had been accurate representations of what to expect, they might have emulated say, Kubrick’s teasers for Eyes Wide Shut; a long, uninterrupted shot of something innocuous. Perhaps the dual-persona Madison’s transformative facial expressions twisting from gnarled derision into the gleeful grin of a child. Anything to hint at the true nature of the show.

From writer/executive producer Glen Morgan (The X-Files), the BBC America drama series Intruders is about a secret society devoted to chasing immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others. A missing wife (Mira Sorvino), an assassin (James Frain) covering his crimes and a child (Millie Brown) on the run are all seemingly unrelated, but will intertwine to reveal a conspiracy that will lead former Lapd cop Jack Whelan (John Simm) to question everything. During this exclusive interview with Collider, Glen Morgan and director Eduardo Sánchez (who directed the first four episodes, with Daniel Stamm directing the last four) talked about how Intruders came about, where it’s sticking close to the book and where it’s deviating, what drew them into the story, shooting the series in blocks of four episodes, instead of as eight separate ones, keeping a cohesive look and tone, approaching the show as a drama with human elements,...

"Intruders" Episode 1.03 – "Time Has Come Today" (airs 9/6/14)

Jack returns home to find Amy sleeping soundly in bed. She has a logical explanation for her whereabouts in Seattle and professes her love to him, only to ask for a separation the next day. Jack is terrified for Amy’s mental state.

Last week’s premiere of Intruders didn’t grab viewers with stereotypical ‘scary’ gimmicks. It snuck in suggestive glimpses at the bizarre goings-on in a series of seemingly unconnected stories. Nine-year-old Madison’s outbreaks in particular held the most intrigue. By the episode’s end there were no resolutions for the mounting mysteries – only questions. Taking this less-is-more approach meant the running the risk of alienating the audience. So, does episode two answer them?

The slow-build mechanics of the show mean that no, it doesn’t. Last week ended with Madison, the precocious split-persona kid, packing her bags, leaving her mom and hitting the road. A sudden change spurred on by the incident in the bathroom. You know, the one when she lapsed into a hideous moment of violence (cat drowning!) It seems her brief altercation with the mysterious hitman awoke within her the spirit of a man called Marcus.

We haven't checked out last night's series premiere of "Intruders" on BBC America yet, but if you did and are ready for more, the network has put the entire second episode online. In fact, you can watch it right here plus an inside look at Episode 1.01 with co-star James Frain!

Along with releasing next week's Episode 1.02, "And Here...You Must Listen," before its TV premiere, BBC America also posted Episode 1.01, "She Was Provisional," and we have it below as well as a teaser for the entire first season.

"Intruders," from writer/exec producer Glen Morgan, is based on Michael Marshall Smith's novel The Intruders. The series stars John Simm and Mira Sorvino with James Frain, Tory Kittles, and Millie Brown. The creative team includes directors Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Stamm plus production designer Mark Freeborn. The series is executive produced by Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner for BBC Worldwide Productions,...

Intruders marks BBC America’s arrival into the current climate of moody spook dramas. Produced by The X-Files’ Glen Morgan, this mystical serial impresses from the jarring opening of its first episode. Why? Because it takes risks. If you’ve managed to avoid spoilers prior to watching the premiere, you may be inclined to agree that the show’s premise, even at the end of the episode… isn’t exactly clear. Therein lies the appeal and the mystery of Intruders. It gambles with expectations.

Dark and brooding from the outset, the show opens on an domestic incident that’s never fully explained, before jumping to a double homicide in suburban Seattle. It cuts to a married couple with a stilted relationship. Next up, there’s a nine-year-old girl troubled by visions. Then we see a bearded nerd delivering his conspiracy podcast out of a van. These seemingly isolated vignettes are...

"In the beginning, there was death." This is the mantra of BBC America's new series Intruders, and the show makes good on that promise from the outset. The body-snatching drama based on British novelist Michael Marshall Smith’s work spans multiple genres, from the ever-popular police procedural, to the vogue of supernatural deaths and rebirths, with elements of classic crowd-pleasers like secret societies, conspiracies, and yes, even creepy children. While Intruders is sure to draw comparisons to The X-Files (which makes sense considering that the hit show's producer Glen Morgan is both writer and executive producer of the new series), it's much less episodic in nature and skews more toward the cult series Twin Peaks than anything else, thanks in part to its Pacific Northwest setting and layered mystery spiraling around its central plot. Hit the jump for my Intruders review, and for why you should welcome this show...

From writer/executive producer Glen Morgan (The X-Files), the BBC America drama series Intruders is about a secret society devoted to chasing immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others. A missing wife (Mira Sorvino), an assassin (James Frain) covering his crimes and a child (Millie Brown) on the run are all seemingly unrelated, but will intertwine to reveal a conspiracy that will lead former Lapd cop Jack Whelan (John Smith) question everything. During this exclusive interview with Collider, actors John Simm and James Frain talked about what attracted them to Intruders, having a brilliant novel to work from, trusting in their creative team, the show’s unsettling tone, that they will provide answers by the end of the season, and what’s to come for their characters. Check out what they had to say after the jump, and be aware that there are some spoilers. Collider: John, how did this come about?...

Even before seeing a frame of Intruders, all the ideas sounded good. For starters, you have writer and creator Glen Morgan (The X-Files) getting to make a real X-Files-style show. That’s a good thing. And, since so many actors seem to be British these days, it seemed extra clever that this BBC America series, which takes place in the Pacific Northwest, chose to use a bunch of British actors but have them play Americans. Everybody gets it. So let’s play. And after having watched the first two hours of the eight-part limited series directed by Eduardo

When one character meets a conspiracy theorist in Intruders, a new series debuting August 23 on BBC America, he looks at the wall and expresses disappointment: “What? No ‘I Want to Believe’ poster?” This was a wink to the X-Files roots of showrunner Glen Morgan, who adapted the program from the 2007 novel Intruders by British writer Michael Marshall Smith. “Well, for all of us, it’s kind of the elephant in the room,” laughed Morgan, in a recent interview with Vulture. The series slowly unravels a mystery involving a crew of immortal body-snatchers who can hop into the bodies of mere mortals and make their “hosts” seem a little out of sorts to their friends and family members. It’s an intriguing premise, and takes more than a few episodes to make sense, but like any great installment of The X-Files, not knowing exactly what’s going on is half the fun.

It’s not every day that someone just casually bumps into an Oscar-winning actress in an elevator. Well, maybe not casually. More like energetically forced, but still. Mira Sorvino!

How could I not freak out? Thank God Mira was as graceful and patient as ever. She had no problem answering my questions about her new BBC America show, Intruders. She warned me all about the series’ crazy twists and turns, and how, in the show, people can seek refuge in other people’s brains. Eek! It sounds crazy, but sign me up for a season pass.

Now, I couldn’t call myself a true Mira Sorvino fan if I didn’t talk to her about her iconic role in my favorite movie of all time, Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion. And praises be, she was all about it! We even did the prom dance together.
