Traveling the world is a thrilling opportunity few get to experience. It’s expensive and nerve-racking to plan, and taking time off work is a hassle when your least favorite co-worker has already eaten up all the choice vacation slots. Jet-setting is particularly daunting when criminals and government agents want you dead. Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor is about to learn how to visit foreign lands while remaining below the radar in Neil Burger‘s Inheritance trailer. Grab your passport, shades, and an inconspicuous dad hat, and let’s go!

Here’s the official synopsis for Inheritance:

“When Maya (Dynevor) learns that her father was once a spy, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an international conspiracy. In her quest for answers, Maya becomes a target and must travel the globe, mastering her father’s skills and unraveling the mysteries of his past in this gripping espionage thriller.”

Limitless, Divergent, and Voyagers director Neil Burger gets behind the camera for Inheritance. He also wrote the screenplay with Olen Steinhauer. Burger, Bill Block, and Charles Miller produce.

In today’s Inheritance trailer, Maya (Dynevor) discovers her father (Rhys Ifans) was a spy, and some of his former work has followed him onto his new venture. As enemies surround her, Maya learns she cannot run forever as she leads her pursuers into a game of cat and mouse around the globe. Maya has no choice but to pick up the torch from her father if she wants to survive, and the learning curve is steep.

Rhys Ifans joins Phoebe Dynevor for Burger’s espionage thriller from IFC Films. His character’s life hangs in the balance after he drags his daughter into his mess.

Phoebe Dynevor is busy these days with multiple projects, including Beneath the Storm, a thriller written and directed by Tommy Wirkola starring Dynevor, Djimon Hounsou, Whitney Peak, and Dante Ubaldi. Dynevor is currently working on the set of the Jody Hill thriller Famous. In Famous, Lance Dunkquist (Zac Efron) has the face of a movie star. Not just any movie star – Lance has been mistaken for Hollywood star James Jansen 228 times. Now, Lance is about to go to LA to make his dream come true. No matter what it takes. Famous stars Zac Efron, Phoebe Dynevor, Cory Michael Smith, Mekki Leeper, Nicholas Braun, Debby Ryan, and more.

Neil Burger’s Inheritance comes to theaters on January 24, 2025. What do you think about today’s Inheritance trailer? Let us know in the comments section below.

Production has wrapped on the post-apocalyptic horror thriller (with a Halloween twist) The Hallowarrior, and Variety has unveiled a first look image of the lead character played by Milly Shapiro, who genre fans may know from the 2018 horror film Hereditary and this year’s Peacock series Hysteria! (and I highly recommend that you check that show out if you haven’t watched it already.) That’s the image at the top of this article.

The feature debut of writer/director Ben Sottak, The Hallowarrior is based on Sottak’s proof of concept short film Scavenger. Shapiro is joined in the cast by Shannyn Sossamon (A Knight’s Tale), Ajani Russell (Betty), and AJ Bowen (You’re Next).

The story Sottak crafted for the film centers on Pumpkin (Shapiro), the last girl on earth and sole survivor of a humanity-ending plague, scavenging the wasteland for supplies on the eve of Halloween. Pumpkin’s lonely holiday ritual is interrupted by the arrival of a savage gang of raiders at her doorstep, led by the fearsome Thalia (Sossamon). Outnumbered and armed with candy, wit and weapons, Pumpkin must ferociously fight back to survive the night.

Sottak provided the following statement: “This is a throwback to the crowd-pleasing genre films I grew up watching every Halloween. The movie is dripping with nostalgic fall atmosphere, cheer-inducing kills and a lovable ‘final girl’ played by the brilliant Milly Shapiro. I can’t wait for this movie to enter horror fans’ annual October viewing rotation for years to come.“

Sottak is producing the film with Emmajane Hoffman, and this serves as the launch for their production company Strange Aeons. Gabriel Rosenstein of The Spitting Image is also producing, as are Danielle Benedictand Jake Casey of The Dazey Phase. Cinetic’s Alec Ring serves as an executive producer alongside Sossamon.

The Hallowarrior sounds like a good time to me, so I look forward to seeing how it turns out, with hopes that it will be something I’ll want to add to my annual October viewing rotation.

If you think Elizabeth Swann had had it with wobbly-legged, rum-soaked pirates, then wait until you hear what Keira Knightley has to say. While not exactly ungrateful for her time making the first three films in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, she remains conflicted on the impact they had on her career.

Keira Knightley – who played Swann in The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End – said that while Pirates of the Caribbean offered her opportunities she wouldn’t have otherwise gotten, they also made her feel like she was walking the plank. “It’s a funny thing when you have something that was making and breaking you at the same time. I was seen as sh*t because of them, and yet because they did so well I was given the opportunity to do the films that I ended up getting Oscar nominations for,” referring to Pride and Prejudice and The Imitation Game (although she was deserving of one for Atonement, too). 

Keira Knightley added that even though the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies brought in nearly $2.7 billion worldwide (with the series eventually $4.5 billion), a lot of that only brought problems for her. “They were the most successful films I’ll ever be a part of and they were the reason that I was taken down publicly. So they’re a very confused place in my head. The hours are insane. It’s years of your life, you have no control over where you’re filming, how long you’re filming, what you’re filming.”

That doesn’t sound like Keira Knightley would ever be down to return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, even if Orlando Bloom – who also left after At World’s End, popping in for a cameo in Dead Man’s Chest – wouldn’t mind reprising Will Turner…Then again, there are a lot of unanswered questions over the series.

What do you make of Keira Knightley’s comments on the Pirates of the Caribbean series? Do you see the franchise being a success moving forward or should it stay in Davy Jones’ locker? Let us know below!

For four seasons and 30 episodes, John Krasinski played the title character in the Prime Video series Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan – and while that series recently came to an end, Krasinski will be playing Jack Ryan again in an upcoming feature film. Beyond that movie, Krasinski is planning to continue his working relationship with Prime Video by starring in a serial killer thriller series called Silent River – and Deadline reports that Matthew Rhys, who played the title character in the recent Perry Mason revival, will be starring in this new show alongside Krasinski.

Krasinski and Rhys are also executive producing Silent River, which will be told through the lens of two men — played by Krasinski and Rhys — whose lives are far more connected than they realize. Silent River explores the cracks of small-town America in the wake of discovering a serial killer among them.

The series was created by Aaron Rabin, who will serve as executive producer, with Andrew Bernstein directing and executive producing. Krasinski will also be directing the pilot and some additional episodes. Bernstein was an executive producer and director on the second season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, and will be directing the feature follow-up. Rabin was a co-executive producer and writer on season 4 of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, and has written the feature follow-up. Bernstein also directed Rhys in two episodes of the FX series The Americans.

Krasinski is executive producing Silent River through his company Sunday Night, with Allyson Seeger and Alexa Ginsburg. The series is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios. Sunday Night has had a first-look deal with the studio since 2019.

Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios, provided the following statement: “We are thrilled to continue our work with John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, and Sunday Night on this gripping series, which delves into the mysteries and secrets of small-town America. With John and Matthew Rhys attached to star in this wonderful story from Aaron Rabin, our global customers will be on the edge of their seats throughout this thought-provoking, psychological thriller.“

When Paramount Pictures announced that Keanu Reeves would voice Shadow for the fast-moving sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 3, fans rejoiced knowing the John Wick star throws himself into every role that comes his way. Reeves’ passion for performing comes through in the latest behind-the-scenes look at Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which takes us into the recording booth for a look at Reeves wielding his craft.

In the video, it’s clear other star players in the anticipated threequel are excited about Keanu Reeves joining the cast, including Jim Carrey, who immediately challenged Reeves to a fight. Not really, but Carrey would like you to think so. Could you imagine Reeves and Carrey getting into a scrap? Carrey’s bendy body could aid him, but I guess Reeves would ultimately drop him like a bag of dirt. Thankfully, everyone on the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 set is thrilled to have Reeves along for the ride.

“Shadow has that sympathetic, brooding kind of darkness that Keanu has mastered so brilliantly,” Jim Carrey says with an implied tip of his hat about Reeves in the video.

“There was really the internal journey to get to the anger and the emotion. It was intense,” Reeves says about playing Shadow before delivering the line, “You took everything from me,” with a severe amount of gravitas.

Here’s the official synopsis for Sonic the Hedgehog 3:

“Sonic the Hedgehog returns to the big screen this holiday season in his most thrilling adventure yet. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have faced before. With their abilities outmatched in every way, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance in hopes of stopping Shadow and protecting the planet.”

Oh, the drama! Bravo‘s hit reality series, Vanderpump Rules, is getting a Season 12 renewal, but with a twist. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills spinoff is getting an all-new cast after the show’s “Scandoval” cheating scandal. Raise your hand if you have no idea what I’m talking about. Well, that makes two of us. However, after doing some research, it turns out that, during Season 10, the show’s events revealed that Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss engaged in an illicit relationship. Another cast member, Ariana Madix, tried to defend Sandoval but was ultimately deceived. Instead of picking up the pieces, Vanderpump Rules is wiping the slate clean for Season 12, inviting new cast members to the table.

Lisa Vanderpump, the executive producer of Vanderpump Rules and boss of SUR, the Los Angeles restaurant where the show’s drama plays out, is at the center of the new collective of “close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors,” says the show’s official announcement. “Under Lisa Vanderpump’s watchful eye, the West Hollywood mainstay SUR — and now TomTom — welcomes the next batch of servers, hosts and bartenders rife with plenty of drama, situationships and frenemies.”

Production for Vanderpump Rules Season 12 begins next year, with plans to announce the new cast in the coming months. For those obsessed with former castmates, a handful of them will return in the next season of the Vanderpump spinoff The Valley, including Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, Brock Davies, and Tom Schwartz. According to The Hollywood Reporter, other cast members such as Arianna Madix, Tom Sandoval, James Kennedy, and Katie Maloney could appear.

“The last 12 years of filming have been an extraordinary run full of laughter, tears and everything in between. I can’t thank enough those who have shared their lives. How I love you all. In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another. Cheers to the next generation of Vanderpump Rules,“ said Lisa Vanderpump.

Have I been living under a rock for the past few years? Who are any of these people? Is Vanderpump Rules like MTV’s The Real World, but set in a restaurant and with a Real Housewives twist? It could be better than I don’t know. Are you a Vanderpump Rules fan? Are you excited about a new cast joining the show for Season 12? Let us know in the comments section below.

Earlier this year, Star Wars: Hunters landed on mobile devices and Switch. The free-to-play third-person hero shooter was a very fun and good game that was trapped on mobile devices. Well, except for Switch, but that port wasn’t great. Now, Hunters is finally making the leap to PC, alongside some visual upgrades, too.
