Daisy Ridley is preparing to explore some very strange depths. The Star Wars star has signed on to lead a new Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea TV series, which is in development at Paramount+ with Akiva Goldsman, Matt Shakman, and Legendary Television. Deadline broke the news, revealing that the reimagining will take Irwin Allen’s classic science fiction concept in a mysterious new direction involving a submarine buried in Arctic ice, a lost chapter of human history, and the legendary city of Atlantis.

The project is a development of the plans announced in February 2025, when Goldsman and Legendary Television revealed they were working on reimaginings of three of Allen’s classic science-fiction shows: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, The Time Tunnel, and Land of the Giants. Now, at least one of those projects has a leading star and a story taking shape.

According to Deadline, Ridley will play Lee Crane, a brilliant ocean scientist who is pulled into a classified government program after a catastrophic Arctic expedition claims the life of her twin sister. At the center of the program is the USS Seaview, a retro-futuristic submarine found entombed in the ice, marked with symbols from a history that shouldn’t exist, and it powers up only when Lee steps aboard. Thrust into command of a pressure-cooker crew and an uneasy alliance with government power brokers, Lee leads Seaview on daring undersea missions to contain mysterious forces leaking into our world, all while uncovering a hidden truth about the oceans, an erased chapter of human history, and the once-thought mythical city of Atlantis.

Daisy Ridley Leads a New Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

Ridley is best known for playing Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, beginning with Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015. She returned for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and has since taken on a variety of roles outside that galaxy far, far away, including the We Bury the Dead and Cleaner.

She will also executive produce the new Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea alongside Goldsman and Shakman. Goldsman, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of A Beautiful Mind, has extensive experience revisiting established science fiction properties, having co-created Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Shakman, meanwhile, will direct the series as well as executive produce. His credits include WandaVision and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

A writers’ room is already underway. The series is being produced by Legendary Television in association with the Irwin Allen Estate, with Jon Jashni also executive producing and Derek Thielges serving as co-producer.

Revisiting Irwin Allen’s Classic Sci-Fi Series

Allen’s original Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea began with a 1961 feature film that he produced, directed, and co-wrote. The television adaptation followed in 1964, running for four seasons on ABC through 1968. It centered on the futuristic nuclear submarine Seaview and its crew, led by Admiral Harriman Nelson and Captain Lee Crane.

What do you think of Daisy Ridley taking command of the Seaview? Does this new mix of retro-futuristic submarine adventure, conspiracy, and Atlantis sound like a promising way to bring Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea back? Let us know in the comments!

It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since Saulnier’s Green Room turned a punk band’s disastrous gig into one of the most brutal, nerve-shredding survival thrillers of the 2010s. The 2016 film is celebrating its 10th anniversary with special screenings at select Alamo Drafthouse locations nationwide on October 30, 2026. And there’s an extra reason for fans of Saulnier’s work to check it out: the event will feature an exclusive anniversary interview with Saulnier, Green Room cast members Alia Shawkat and Macon Blair, and special effects artist Mike Fontaine. Attendees will also receive a free, limited-edition popcorn bucket inspired by Slayground, Saulnier’s upcoming thriller scheduled to hit theatres on January 29, 2027.

Tickets are available through Alamo Drafthouse’s official website. Check the site for participating locations, showtimes, and availability.

Green Room Returns With a Special Menu and Anniversary Extras

Our friends at Bloody Disgusting report that the Green Room anniversary screenings will include a special A24 giveaway and a food and drink menu inspired by the film and its Pacific Northwest setting. The lineup includes:

• Cowcatcher Loaded Mac: Cavatappi pasta with housemade Tillamook cheddar cheese sauce, seasoned ground beef, bacon, roasted peppers, onions, and mushrooms, finished with sriracha sour cream and sliced green onions.
• Ain’t Right Pizza: A punk-inspired pizza featuring an herb-garlic oil base, pepperoni, Italian sausage, and Alamo’s cheese blend, topped with San Marzano tomato sauce, Parmesan, and ranch dressing.
• Metal Marg: A cocktail made with Campo Bravo Tequila Plata, Midori melon, pineapple, lime, and agave, served with a Tajín rim and cucumber.

“Jeremy Saulnier is one of the most exciting filmmakers working today, with a knack for turning ordinary situations into white-knuckle occasions. His movies are visceral, relentless, and packed with the kind of tension that hits even harder on the big screen,” says Jake Isgar, a film programmer at Alamo Drafthouse. He adds that the theatre chain is thrilled to celebrate Green Room with a special screening, an exclusive giveaway, and punk-inspired food and cocktails.

What Is Green Room About?

Written and directed by Saulnier, Green Room follows a touring punk band whose gig at a remote Pacific Northwest venue takes a horrifying turn when the musicians witness a murder. Trapped backstage and surrounded by violent neo-Nazi skinheads determined to eliminate the witnesses, the band must fight to survive as the situation spirals into a brutal siege.

The film stars Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, Alia Shawkat, Joe Cole, Macon Blair, and Patrick Stewart.

Green Room Leads Into Jeremy Saulnier’s Slayground

The anniversary event serves as a celebration of Saulnier’s genre filmmaking ahead of the release of Slayground, his next feature for A24. The film is scheduled to arrive in theatres on January 29, 2027, and its trailer revealed a thriller that appears to combine a fugitive-on-the-run story with a macabre Halloween setting.

Cory Michael Smith stars as “Metal Mike” Graves, a scare actor who wakes up inside a haunted attraction surrounded by the bodies of his coworkers, with no memory of what happened. As a statewide manhunt closes in, he races to uncover the truth, even if the evidence points back at him.

The cast also includes Imogen Poots, Chase Sui Wonders, Sophie Wilde, Stephen Root, Young Mazino, Stanley Simons, James Badge Dale, and Matty Matheson. The film’s score comes from Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor.

Saulnier has previously described Slayground as being closer to the Green Room side of his filmmaking, saying that he was working on something “a little more in the Green Room universe” after exploring a different approach with Rebel Ridge. He also teased that the project would involve “music and Halloween and fun shit.”

Alamo Drafthouse will continue its Saulnier retrospective in early 2027 with screenings of Blue Ruin, Murder Party, and another opportunity to see Green Room on the big screen. Tickets for that retrospective are expected to become available in December.

For now, fans can revisit the film that put a punk band through hell and walk away with a Slayground popcorn bucket while they’re at it.

The Motion Picture Association (MPA) rating has been revealed on FilmRatings.com, giving audiences another small glimpse at what to expect from the upcoming Charles Dickens adaptation. Directed by Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine), Ebenezer stars Johnny Depp as the miserly Scrooge in a new take on A Christmas Carol, the beloved holiday tale about a man confronted by the ghosts of his past, present, and future.

The PG-13 rating cites “frightening material,” which is quite appropriate for a movie that will feature multiple ghosts. West doesn’t appear to have gone especially dark with the material, but there could still be moments that give the creeps.

Johnny Depp Leads a Star-Studded A Christmas Carol Cast

Depp is joined by an impressive ensemble that includes Ian McKellen as Jacob Marley, Andrea Riseborough as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Tramell Tillman as the Ghost of Christmas Present, and Daisy Ridley as Emily Cratchit. Rupert Grint plays Bob Cratchit, while Sam Claflin takes on the role of Fred, Scrooge’s nephew.

The cast also includes Charlie Murphy, Ellie Bamber, Arthur Conti, and Henry Lloyd-Hughes.

West directs from a screenplay by Nathaniel Halpern, with Emma Watts producing. The film is being positioned as a thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, following Scrooge on a supernatural journey through his past, present, and future as he fights for a second chance.

That premise has been brought to the screen many times, from The Muppet Christmas Carol to Bill Murray’s Scrooged and Robert Zemeckis’ motion-capture adaptation starring Jim Carrey. West’s version, however, has the potential to bring a different sensibility to the familiar story, particularly with Depp embracing the role of one of literature’s most famous Christmas curmudgeons.

When Does Ebenezer Come Out?

Paramount Pictures will release Ebenezer in theaters on November 13, 2026. With Depp in the lead and a filmmaker known for horror directing the adaptation, this could be an entertainingly spooky way to kick off the holiday season.

Are you looking forward to Ti West’s Ebenezer? And do you think the X and Pearl director is a good fit for a new take on A Christmas Carol? Let us know in the comments below.

Davis, who previously made The Gingerweed Man and Bring Her to Me, directed Buried Secrets from a script he wrote with Neal Marshall Stevens (a.k.a. Roger Barrow, a.k.a. Benjamin Carr), based on a story by producer / Full Moon founder Charles Band.

What is Buried Secrets about?

Here’s the synopsis:

The Lost Catacombs of Bomarzo are rumored to hold a fortune in jewels for anyone brave enough to dig them up. When a daring (or maybe foolhardy) group of young Adventurers dare to unearth the hidden graves they manage to find the treasure — but also awaken a buried demon who’s looking for blood — and for someone to take his place in the darkness.

Full Moon describes the movie as a new tale of greed, secrets, and supernatural horror.

Who stars in Buried Secrets?

When will Buried Secrets be released?

Buried Secrets is part of Full Moon’s 2026 slate, which also includes the likes of The Grim Rapper, Models vs. Werewolves, Robotica, and Autonomous. Full Moon currently has Buried Secrets scheduled to premiere on Blu-ray and DVD in December 2026, with the movie coming to streaming (on FullMoonFeatures.com) in early 2027.

Former Riverdale star KJ Apa is interested in making a cameo in Afterlife with Archie, the upcoming Disney+ series that will bring a zombie apocalypse to the familiar world of Archie Comics. Meanwhile, filmmaker Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) has signed on to direct the first two episodes of the horror series, which is scheduled to premiere in time for Halloween 2027.

The live-action adaptation of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla’s bestselling comic book series received an official series greenlight earlier this year.

KJ Apa Wants to Appear in Afterlife with Archie

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Apa, who played Archie Andrews throughout all seven seasons of Riverdale, revealed that he has already spoken with Aguirre-Sacasa about the upcoming series. The actor is excited to see a new cast take on the iconic characters, but he would also welcome an opportunity to join them.

“I spoke to Roberto, who was our showrunner for Riverdale, who’s also showrunning that show. And I’m really excited. I can’t wait to see who they cast as Archie and the gang. It’d be cool if we could do some cameos or something. I asked him! I would think that would be really fun if I could come in for a scene. I don’t know who I’d play, but it’d be fun to do. I know Roberto is really, really excited about it.”

Alfonso Gomez-Rejon to Direct the First Two Episodes

As reported by Deadline, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon has signed on to direct the pilot episode of Afterlife with Archie. He will also direct the second episode and serve as an executive producer on the episodes.

Gomez-Rejon is best known for directing the acclaimed coming-of-age film Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, as well as episodes of television projects including Hunters and American Horror Story: Coven. His film credits also include The Current War, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

The series comes from Warner Bros. Television, with Aguirre-Sacasa and Jimmy Gibbons executive producing through Muckle Man Productions. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman are executive producers through Berlanti Productions, while Jon Goldwater represents Archie Comics Studios.

What Is Afterlife with Archie About?

Unlike the wholesome adventures traditionally associated with Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, and Jughead Jones, Afterlife with Archie takes the characters into much darker territory. The comic book series launched in 2013, its story beginning when a desperate attempt to bring a beloved pet back to life unleashes supernatural consequences that threaten the entire town of Riverdale.

The television adaptation will introduce its own version of that nightmare, with an official synopsis describing a supernatural spell gone wrong that unleashes an army of possessed dead upon the town. Archie and his friends must fight to survive, testing the friendships, romances, and loyalties that have always held them together.

Aguirre-Sacasa, who also created Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, has described the project as especially meaningful to him because the comic helped pave the way for his later work with Archie Comics characters.

When Will Afterlife with Archie Premiere on Disney+?

Disney+ has scheduled Afterlife with Archie to premiere in time for Halloween 2027. With Gomez-Rejon attached to direct the first two episodes and the creative team continuing to develop the adaptation, the series is shaping up to be a major new entry in the Archie television universe. Apa’s comments also raise the possibility of a connection to the earlier Riverdale series, although no returning cast members have been officially confirmed.

Would you like to see KJ Apa make a cameo in Afterlife with Archie? And which other Riverdale stars would you like to see return? Let us know in the comments below.

A new trailer has arrived for Above the Below, a survival thriller starring Idris Elba (Luther, Beast) alongside Caitlin FitzGerald (Masters of Sex) and Hero Fiennes Tiffin (the After franchise). Elba co-directs the film with Martin Owen (The Loneliest Boy in the World), and Lionsgate will bring the movie to U.S. theatres on December 4, 2026.

The film takes three astronauts from the dangers of space into an even more terrifying predicament: a desperate fight for survival in the depths of the ocean. With an 87-minute runtime, Above the Below promises a high-stakes thriller built around a race against time and the limits of human endurance. Check out the trailer in the embed above!

What Is Above the Below About?

The official synopsis for Above the Below reads:

“After three astronauts survive a disaster in space, their unscheduled crash-landing leaves them trapped in the crushing depths of the ocean with no contact with mission control and oxygen rapidly running out. In a race against time where every breath could be their last, the crew faces impossible choices, mounting odds, and new dangers in this pulse-pounding story about what we do when faced with the greatest stakes imaginable.”

Elba stars as Jackson, the mission commander responsible for leading the crew through its ordeal. FitzGerald plays Brooks, the mission’s strong-willed and determined co-pilot, while Fiennes Tiffin portrays Rhodes, an idealistic astronaut undertaking his first mission.

Idris Elba Co-Directs Above the Below

Above the Below marks another directing project for Elba, who made his feature directorial debut with the 2018 crime drama Yardie. He shares directing duties on the new thriller with Owen, whose previous films include The Loneliest Boy in the World, L.A. Slasher, Let’s Be Evil, Killers Anonymous, The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud, and Twist.

The screenplay was written by Elizabeth Morris, Matthew Mitchell, and Vicki Sargent, based on a story created by Owen. Gina Carter and Matt Williams produced the film, with Pascal Degove serving as executive producer.

I’m not sure there’s any filmmaker who’s work I look forward to more than Mike Flanagan. From The Haunting of Hill House to Midnight Mass to The Fall of the House of Usher, his work tends to me amongst my favorites. While Carrie wasn’t my favorite of his (check out my full review HERE), there’s no denying that he has a very distinct vision and no one is quite able to adapt King like him. So I was absolutely ecstatic to be able to pick his brain a bit and find out more about his version of Carrie directly from the man himself.

Mike gets into what quality Summer Howell had that made her the perfect Carrie and won her the role. We also discuss why there are so many Battlestar Galactica actors popping up in his work and how it was very last minute. We also get into the “no brainer” casting of Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White after her absolutely incredible turn as Bev Keane in Midnight Mass. This was one of my favorite chats recently, and you can check it all out in the embedded video above.

And don’t forgot to check out my interviews with Summer Howell & Samantha Sloyan and Matthew Lillard and Amber Midthunder HERE as well as Arthur Conti and Joel Oulette HERE.

Carrie plot:

Misfit high‑schooler Carrie White (Summer H. Howell) has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.

All 8 Episodes of Carrie are now streaming on Prime Video.
