Disney Plus’ new X-Men animated series is a throwback to the days when comics adaptations could focus on their own stories instead of cinematic franchises.




A movie based on EA’s The Sims game series is on the way from director / co-writer Kate Herron (Loki) with Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap producing. And if the project doesn’t end up being in Simlish, the filmmakers are going to be passing on a chance to do one of the most ridiculously inspired things possible.

Though David Benioff, D. B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo’s 3 Body Problem is impressive, it really feels like just an introduction to Cixin Liu’s deeper ideas.
After Alien: Covenant, it felt like 20th Century Studios might not have been sure where it wanted to take the franchise. But the nightmarish first teaser trailer for director Fede Álvarez’s upcoming Alien: Romulus standalone film — out August 16th — makes it seem like the studio has a solid plan to get things back on track.
Because of the water-starved, post-apocalyptic hellscapes the Mad Max movies have been set in, they haven’t really featured all that much greenery outside of mentioning how plant life can’t thrive in toxic deserts.
But there’s an entire fruit-filled forest in the new trailer for George Miller’s Furiosa, and as vibrant as it is, you can be almost certain that we’ll see it all burn down when the movie hits theaters on May 24th.
