Maybe the only thing more highly anticipated than Grand Theft Auto VI itself is the possibility that it gets delayed. Parent company Take-Two confirms that’s not happening yet. The open-world crime saga is still scheduled for the fall of 2025, according to its newest earnings report.
Borderlands 3 launched in 2019, so you might not expect an update for the looter shooter in 2024. However, possibly due to the recent release of the (terrible) movie, Gearbox has put out a new, small, but genuinely awesome patch for Borderlands 3.

This morning, we heard that Regal cinemas are going to have sandworm popcorn buckets to celebrate the release of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the long-awaited sequel to director Tim Burton’s 1988 classic Beetlejuice (watch it HERE), which is set to reach theatres on September 6th. So we’re getting a Beetlejuice-inspired bucket that will hold regular popcorn – but if you want to eat and drink Beetlejuice-inspired flavors, Keebler and Fanta have you covered. Keebler is celebrating the release of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice with Dark Chocolate & Vanilla Fudge Stripes cookies (inspired by Beetlejuice’s iconic black and white outfit), and Fanta will be helping promote the movie by not only featuring images of the film’s characters on their bottles and cans (Jenna Ortega’s Astrid will appear on Orange Fanta, Winona Ryder’s Lydia on Strawberry Fanta, and Catherine O’Hara’s Delia on Pineapple Fanta), but also releasing a brand new flavor called Haunted Apple! Michael Keaton’s Beetlejuice will be featured on the cans and bottles of Haunted Apple.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was in development hell for decades before it finally got made. In 1990, Jonathan Gems was hired to write a sequel that was going to be titled Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian. Burton considered having Daniel Waters rewrite that script, Pamela Norris did rewrite it, and Warner Bros. offered Kevin Smith the chance to do another rewrite. He turned it down. Seth Grahame-Smith was hired to write and produce a new version of a sequel in 2011. Mike Vukadinovich was brought on to rewrite his script in 2017.
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, co-creators and co-showrunners of Wednesday, have written the screenplay for Beetlejuice 2 that was actually filmed. Brad Pitt’s Plan B is producing the sequel, which filmed in London before moving to Vermont and Massachusetts.
Here’s the official synopsis: Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.
As mentioned, Michael Keaton is back as Beetlejuice and is joined in the cast by Winona Ryder, reprising the role of Lydia Deetz; Catherine O’Hara, back as Lydia’s stepmother Delia; Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter Astrid, Justin Theroux as a fellow named Rory, Monica Bellucci as Beetlejuice’s wife and Willem Dafoe as a law enforcement officer in the afterlife. Arthur Conti is also in there, in an unspecified role.

Yesterday, we heard that Patricia Arquette (True Romance) has joined the cast of Kenneth Branagh’s contemporary psychological thriller The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde. Now, The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that Arquette is also in the cast of the horror thriller They Will Kill You, which also stars Tom Felton of the Harry Potter franchise and Zazie Beetz, whose credits include Joker, Bullet Train, and Deadpool 2.
New Line Cinema are on board to co-finance and distribute They Will Kill You. Director Andy Muschietti and his producer / sister Barbara Muschietti, the filmmaking team behind Mama and the $1 billion grossing adaptations of Stephen King’s It, recently teamed up with Skydance to form a new horror label called Nocturna, and this is the first project to come out of the Nocturna partnership.
Kirill Sokolov – who is said to be known for his dark sense of humor – will be directing the film from a screenplay he wrote with Alex Litvak. Sokolov previously directed the action comedy No Looking Back and the comedic thriller Why Don’t You Just Die!, both of which were Russian productions. Litvak is best known for writing the 2010 Predator sequel Predators with Michael Finch. He went on to co-write Paul W.S. Anderson’s version of The Three Musketeers and the TV movie Secret Society of Second Born Royals.
They Will Kill You is aiming to start filming in South Africa in mid-September. The story centers on a woman (Beetz) who answers a help wanted ad to be a housekeeper in a mysterious high-rise in New York City, not realizing she is entering a community that has seen a number of disappearances over the years and may be under the grip of a Satanic cult. The project is described as being “a tonal mix of Ready or Not and The Raid.”
Arquette’s character is one of the leads, the head of the co-op. Felton is a member of the cult.
The Muschiettis are producing They Will Kill You alongside David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, and Dan Kagan. Nocturna Co-Heads of Film, Russell Ackerman and John Schoenfelder, serve as executive producers with Sokolov, Litvak, and Carl Hampe.

Two years ago, we heard that American Horror Story regular Sarah Paulson had signed on to star in a horror thriller called Dust, which would be released as a Hulu Original. That film has since made its way through production and post-production, and along the way it was retitled Hold Your Breath. It’s now set to be released through the Hulu streaming service on October 3rd – and with that date swiftly approaching, a batch of first look images have arrived online! You can check them out in this article.
Coming to us from Searchlight Pictures, Hold Your Breath marks the feature directorial debut of directors William Joines and Karrie Crouse. Crouse wrote the screenplay for the film, which has the following synopsis: In 1930s Oklahoma, amid the region’s horrific dust storms, a woman is convinced that a sinister presence is threatening her family. Another synopsis let us know that the story centers on a woman who is trapped by increasingly perilous dust storms and is haunted by her past encounters with a threatening presence and takes extraordinary measures to protect her family.
Paulson is joined in the cast by Amiah Miller (War for the Planet of the Apes), Bill Heck (I Know What You Did Last Summer TV series), Annaleigh Ashford (Masters of Sex), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear).

Some people say beauty is only skin deep, but what if you could change how you look at a cellular level? Would you embrace a procedure that augments your features, making you stereotypically beautiful? What if that beauty came with a one-way ticket to a society where every gorgeous person lords over those considered lesser-than? In Netflix’s Uglies trailer, Joey King stars as Tally Youngblood, a young woman awaiting her chance to become beautiful and take her place among the elite. However, when things don’t go as planned, Tally discovers a society that values natural beauty over enhanced features and snobbery.
McG (The Babysitter, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle) directs Uglies, based on Scott Westerfeld’s novel series. Initially planned as a trilogy, Uglies spans eight books, with a film adaptation taking more than 20 years in the making, coming to Netflix on September 13. The cast includes Keith Powers, Chase Stokes, Brianne Tju, Jan Luis Castellanos, Charmin Lee, Joey King, and Laverne Cox.
Netflix’s Uglies trailer gives off heavy YA vibes reminiscent of The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, and the Divergent series. The trailer kicks off with Animal Collective’s feel-good jam “My Girls” from the band’s 2009 album Merriweather Post Pavillion. As the synth-heavy melody rains, McG’s Uglies tells a story about a superficial society that values beauty above all, creating a divide among people living in the trenches before they ascend to a non-stop party overflowing with flawless individuals. The commentary about disturbing beauty standards, conformity, and remaining true to yourself is overwhelming. Hopefully, Uglies is deeper than the shallow people it deems ideal.
Here’s the synopsis for the first book in Westerfield’s Uglies series:
Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can’t wait. In just a few weeks she’ll have the operation that will turn her from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty. And as a pretty, she’ll be catapulted into a high-tech paradise where her only job is to have fun.
But Tally’s new friend Shay isn’t sure she wants to become a pretty. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world—and it isn’t very pretty. The authorities offer Tally a choice: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. Tally’s choice will change her world forever.
Netflix’s Uglies teaches us all a lesson in beauty being in the eye of the beholder on September 13.

In musical theater, sequels are few and far between, and when they do exist they usually aren’t very good. For example, you’ve probably heard of Phantom of the Opera, the massively successful show from Andrew Lloyd Webber, but you probably don’t know anything about its sequel, Love Never Dies. There’s a reason for…
