Earlier this morning, Sony opened up pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 Pro as well as the limited edition 30th Anniversary version of the more powerful PS5, complete with matching controllers. It sold out in a matter of minutes. Now, scalpers are trying to flip the retro-themed bundles on eBay for thousands of dollars.
Metaphor: ReFantazio makes no qualms about scaring you in its early game. You can’t handle the fierce monsters in the opening area, the first boss will nearly kill you, and that Captain Klinger guy…okay, maybe he’s not that scary. The point is, when you see a huge dragon in front of you, you may feel inclined to heed…

The long wait to find out what director Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard, Lucifer) and Ana de Armas are cooking up with the John Wick spinoff Ballerina is finally ending. Lionsgate pulled the curtain back on a Ballerina teaser on Wednesday, paving the way for today’s release of a full trailer. Yesterday’s Ballerina teaser included a chilling rendition of Beethoven’s “Furelise” playing from a wind-up music box. As the camera slowly pans through a study crowded with books and fancy decor, a porcelain dancer spins beneath a glass dome with the words “Trailer Tomorrow” inscribed at the bottom of the keepsake. With today’s trailer, we finally get to see Ana de Armas in action as the title character – and yes, Keanu Reeves shows up for a John Wick cameo. The film has a release date of June 6, 2025.
Ballerina sees de Armas taking on the role of a young woman with killer skills who sets out to get revenge when hitmen kill her family. As the film takes place in the John Wick universe, it will feature appearances from several franchise characters, including Ian McShane as Winston, the owner of the Continental Hotel, the late Lance Reddick as Charon, the Continental’s concierge, and Anjelica Huston as the Director, the head of the Ruska Roma. Other cast members include Keanu Reeves, Norman Reedus, Catalina Sandino Mareno, David Byrne, David Castañeda, and more.
Anticipation for Ballerina is high, as fans who provided the studio with their smartphone information received a message about the trailer’s release yesterday. In the beginning, Ballerina was separate from the John Wick franchise, but filmmakers reworked the project to take place in the world of The Continental. To help preserve the John Wick franchise’s legacy, Ian McShane and Chad Stahelski boarded the upcoming film.
In November, reports of a script for a direct follow-up to John Wick: Chapter 4 started making the rounds. While John Wick: Chapter 4 has a definitive ending, the boogeyman is too iconic to slip into the shadows when more money waits in the wings. The franchise may move beyond Reeves’ Baba Yaga at some point, but that time is not now.

Saturday Night Live legend Andy Samberg’s had a heck of a career on the big screen, with him having more than a few cult classics under his belt. There’s Hot Rod, the criminally underrated Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, plus the more recent Palm Springs. However, he’s rarely gotten to tackle straight drama, but he’s getting his chance this week in Lee, a long-gestating biopic of famed war photographer Lee Miller, who began life as a model before becoming one of the most noted war photographers of her time, famous for chronicling WW2 in the pages of Vogue Magazine.
In Lee, Samberg plays David Scherman, who was one of Miller’s contemporaries at Vogue and shot a famous photograph of Miller in Adolf Hitler’s bathtub in his Munich apartment. We also chatted with the great Andrea Riseborough, who was Oscar-nominated recently for To Leslie but is perhaps most famous to genre fans such as us here at JoBlo for her roles in Possessor and Mandy. In Lee, she plays Audrey Withers, another journalist working for Vogue. Our man Jimmy O was able to catch up with Samberg and Riseborough at the recent Los Angeles junket for Lee, and both raved about working with the great Kate Winslet on her passion project.
Check back for our review of Lee soon! Check out the interview embedded above!

All episodes of the coming-of-age Satanic Panic thriller series Hysteria! will be available to watch on the Peacock streaming service as of Friday, October 18th – but if you would prefer to watch the show on regular television, USA Network and Syfy will be simulcasting the first episode on October 18th, with USA Network going on to air episodes each Friday. With the premiere date just a few weeks away, a trailer for Hysteria! has been released and can be seen in the embed above. A new batch of images from the show have also made their way online, and those can be found at the bottom of this article.
Written and executive produced by Matthew Scott Kane, Hysteria! will be exploring America’s dark history of mass hysteria through the shocking story of the teenage Satanic Panic. The series follows a group of 1980s high school misfits as they exploit the growing hysteria around teen occult activity. Here’s the full official synopsis: When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the “Satanic Panic” of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported “supernatural activity” triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.
The cast includes Julie Bowen (Modern Family), Bruce Campbell (the Evil Dead franchise), Emjay Anthony (Physical), Chiara Aurelia (Cruel Summer), Kezii Curtis (Charm City Kings), Nikki Hahn (Magnum P.I.), Anna Camp (the Pitch Perfect franchise), Garret Dillahunt (The Last House on the Left remake), Nolan North (Pretty Little Liars), Elijah Richardson (Fantasy Football), Milly Shapiro (Hereditary), Allison Scagliotti (Warehouse 13), and Jessica Treska (Alex & Me).
Bowen’s character is Linda Campbell, “the mother of a teenage outcast. Linda experiences a series of supernatural disturbances that force her to question everything she knows about her son, as well as the growing threat of Satanism in their small Midwestern town.” Camp’s character is Tracy Whitehead, “a crusading Midwestern mother who has been the laughingstock of her community for years due to her extreme religious beliefs, but after a string of occult crimes and disturbances, she becomes a dangerous and unlikely leader of her small town.” And some more character details from Deadline: “Dylan Campbell (Anthony), Jordy (Aurelia), and Spud (Curtis) are a trio of outcasts who use their town’s Satanic Panic to their advantage by rebranding their heavy metal band Dethkrunch into a Satanic metal group, only to find themselves caught in the middle of a witch hunt. Faith (Hahn) is a sheltered teenage girl whose life is forever changed by a shocking, traumatic crime.” Campbell’s Chief Dandridge is “a small-town police chief whose understanding of his community is put to the test after a disturbing series of murders, disappearances, and unexplained phenomena.”
UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, is producing Hysteria! Kane serves as executive producer with Chris Bender, Jake Weiner, and Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. That may lead you to believe that Daley and Goldstein might have directed the pilot episode, but that’s not the case. The first episode of Hysteria! was directed by Kong: Skull Island‘s Jordan Vogt-Roberts.

It’s September 26, and that means it’s The Last of Us Day, according to developer Naughty Dog.
