HBO just dropped a trailer for Mountainhead, the new film from Succession creator Jesse Armstrong, which hits HBO and Max on May 31st.

After a long struggle to find a distributor — one producer told World of Reel it was seen as “unreleasable” because of how gross it is — the Dinklage-starring remake of The Toxic Avenger is finally due for theatrical release on August 29th in the US.
In its second teaser, Dinklage’s Winston Gooze, AKA Toxie, seeks help for a mysterious illness from the head of his company, played by Kevin Bacon. And yeah, it looks gross.
Hayden Christensen will return to Ahsoka as Anakin Skywalker and rebel commander Admiral Ackbar will go “head-to-head” with Grand Admiral Thrawn, series creator Dave Filoni told the audience at Star Wars Celebration in Japan last night.
That’s according to Deadline, which also writes that the series will feature Rory McCann as the fallen Jedi Baylen Skol, following the May 2023 death of actor Ray Stevenson.
A Warner Bros. exec indicated to the Financial Times that A Minecraft Movie will probably get a sequel:
