Hawthorn is an upcoming game from some ex-Bethesda devs about animals harvesting produce, setting up dinner parties, and generally chilling about in the great outdoors and fulfilling everyone’s cottagecore dreams. It looks sort of like Animal Crossing if it took place inside of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
In a fast-moving, ever-evolving world plagued by struggles and sensationalism, it’s easy to forget the sacrifices made by people belonging to an older generation. Many young people have no appreciation for the trauma endured by soldiers of near-forgotten wars. They are too busy stunting for likes and subscribers while desperately craving the approval of strangers who could care less. However, those who fought for freedom remember the deafening bomb blasts, burying friends far too soon, and what the word honor truly represents. In Samuel Goldwyn Films‘s The Last Rifleman trailer, Pierce Brosnan plays a WWII veteran determined to return to Ireland on the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, but does he still have what it takes to make the journey?
Terry Loane (Agatha and the Truth of Murder, Mille Inbetween, Just Johnny) directs The Last Rifleman from a screenplay by Kevin Fitzpatrick (The Last Letter). Inspired by a true story, Brosnan plays Artie Crawford, a World War II veteran living in a care home in Northern Ireland who has just lost his wife. On the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, he decides to escape his care home and embarks on a journey to France to pay his final respects.
Pierce Brosnan (Mrs. Doubtfire, The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day) leads The Last Rifleman, which also stars Clémence Poésy, John Amos, Ian McElhinney, and Desmond Eastwood. Katy Jackson and John Leslie produce it from Wee Buns (Zoo). It is co-produced by Jacqueline Kerrin and Dominic Wright from Ripple World Pictures (Never Grow Old). Mark Huffam (The Martian), Kevin Jackson (Zoo), Nick Leese, Eloise Singer (Rare Beasts), and Tommy Curran are executive producing.
“We’re thrilled to bring this heartwarming and poignant story of a war veteran to audiences in the U.S. We’re confident this crowd-pleasing true story will have universal appeal across the whole country.” said SGF president Peter Goldwyn.
The Last Rifleman trailer presents Pierce Brosnan in a truly transformative performance as the near-93-year-old war veteran Private Artie Crawford. Artie’s inspirational journey highlights the fortitude of those who have served, their sense of duty, and their respect for their fallen brethren. The Last Rifleman arrives in theaters, Digital, and On Demand on November 8th.

There are a lot of tiny details in Atlus’ new fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio that make moving through its world a delight.

Earlier this week, New Line Cinema unveiled a teaser trailer for the sci-fi thriller Companion, which is coming our way from writer/director Drew Hancock and the team behind the 2022 horror hit Barbarian. Now, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Hancock has signed on to write and direct a supernatural horror film called My Wife and I Bought a Ranch for Amazon MGM Studios.
My Wife and I Bought a Ranch is based on a short story by Matt Query that first appeared on Reddit. Working with his brother Harrison, Query later expanded the story to novel length, and the novel was published with the title Old Country. Hancock’s adaptation will follow a couple who move into their dream home in Idaho only to discover that a malevolent spirit inhabits their valley. This is the second time we’ve heard of a Query novel adaptation this year, as Pet Sematary: Bloodlines director Lindsey Anderson Beer is producing a film based on their book Wilderness Reform, which is set up at Paramount.
The Hollywood Reporter notes that the My Wife and I Bought a Ranch adaptation was once set up at the Netflix streaming service (they picked up the rights back in 2021), but “has renewed energy now that Amazon and Hancock are involved.” Producers on this project include 21 Laps, which is run by Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen, and Dan Levine, as well as James Wan and Michael Clear of Atomic Monster. Scott Glassgold of Ground Control is also producing.
Hancock’s previous writing credits include episodes of Supah Ninjas, Blue Mountain State, Fred: The Show, Suburgatory, Faking It, Mr. Pickles, and My Dead Ex (which he co-created), as well as the movie Fred 3: Camp Fred. While he never directed a movie before Companion, he has directed episodes of Acceptable TV and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, as well as a Tenacious D music video.
While we wait to see how My Wife and I Bought a Ranch is going to turn out, we’ll have the chance to see what Hancock did with Companion when the movie reaches theatres on January 10th.

God, I have seen what you’ve done for others, and I ask only that you offer me just a sliver of your generosity—like the New York Rangers winning the Stanley Cup next year, a win that EA Sports’ NHL 25 has just officially predicted.

Squaring off against criminals in any situation is harrowing enough without adding an armored car and a narrow bridge. The environment is a significant part of the strategic means to potentially violent ends, and Sylvester Stallone did not come to play in Lionsgate‘s Armor trailer.
Justin Routt (The Test, CIA MIAMI) directs Armor from a screenplay by Adrian Speckert and Corey Todd Hughes. Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone and Jason Patric star in Routt’s action-packed thriller about the lengths one man will go to save what’s left of his family and reclaim his own life. James and his son Casey are armored truck drivers tasked with delivering a suspicious package. After a violent ambush on the road, James and Casey become trapped until they discover the value of what they have been carrying and join forces to outgun and outwit their attackers.
Armor stars Sylvester Stallone (Tulsa King, Demolition Man, Cobra), Jason Patric (The Lost Boys, The Losers, Speed 2: Cruise Control), Dash Mihok (Ray Donovan, The Thin Red Line, Romeo + Juliet), Josh Wiggins (Giant Little Ones, Walking Out, Mean Dreams), Blake Shields (Heroes, The Hollow, Boys and Girls), Erin Ownbey (Atlanta, Echo, Panhandle).
Lionsgate’s Armor trailer starts innocently enough: a father and son drive an armored car with secretive and precious cargo. With the world’s weight resting on their shoulders, the familial duo attempts to steal the transport’s mysterious cargo. Unfortunately for them, Stallone and his crew of lethal protectors are willing to raise hell if it means recovering the truck’s contents. The situation becomes a moral dilemma as Stallone and his team strategize about the conflict, knowing it could all end in disaster and lives lost. Can the team infiltrate the truck without harming the family members inside? Will Stallone sympathize with the duo and let them walk away, their pockets filled with gold coins? Once the team breaches the truck and guns go silent, the outcomes will stop piling up.
Armor arrives in theaters, Digital, and On Demand on November 22, 2024. What do you think about today’s Armor trailer? Do you believe Stallone will let the father and son duo slide after such a violent confrontation? Let us know in the comments section below.
