It’s been almost 18 months since we were last tossed back and forth between the dual timelines of twisted survivalist teenagers and their equally disturbed adult counterparts in Showtime’s Yellowjackets. Now, we only have to wait a few more months before diving back into teen cannibalism and grown-up traumas, as it…
I’m not crying. You’re crying! Dreamworks is turning the waterworks to full-blast today with the first teaser trailer for the studio’s live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon. The preview gives us a front-row seat for the first meeting between Mason Thames‘ Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and Toothless, the elusive and adorable Night Fury dragon. The highly-anticipated film soars into theaters on June 13, 2025, turning up the summer heat with dragon fire!
In How to Train Your Dragon, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III discovers dragons aren’t as terrifying as the stories would have him believe. Hiccup is an outsider, so people will likely brush his opinions aside. Still, when he proves to them that dragons are misunderstood and potentially friendly, he ushers in a new era where Vikings and dragons work together to build a shared society.
Today’s How to Train Your Dragon teaser trailer depicts the story beats leading up to Hiccup and Toothless’ fateful meeting. In the preview, Hiccup experiences pressure to honor his father by becoming the Viking horde’s next dragon slayer, but Hiccup doesn’t have the stomach to do the deed. He discovers that not only are dragons friendly, but joining forces with them will give his people the upper hand in any battle. Hiccup must convince his father and his people that the generations-old myth about dragons being their enemy is false. Good luck, Hiccup. You’re going to need it.
How to Train Your Dragon franchise director Dean DeBlois (Lio & Stitch, Micronauts) shot Dreamworks’ live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon from his script. Mason Thames (The Black Phone) plays Hiccup, while Gerard Butler plays the Viking leader Stoick. Julian Dennison plays Fishlegs, Gabriel Howell plays Snotlout, Harry Trevaldwyn pays Tuffnut, Bronwyn James plays Ruffnut, Nico Parker plays Astrid, Nick Frost plays Gobbler, and Ruth Codd plays Phelgma.
Today’s How to Train Your Dragon teaser trailer has the live-action version of the classic book series and animated film franchise looking amazing. Mason Thames appears to have nailed Hiccup’s timid and kind-hearted nature, while Toothless resembles a one-to-one version of his animated counterpart. While I’m unsure how much we need a live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon, it’s great to see such care taken with the property.

I was worried that Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake might feel like an uninspired and overpriced cash-in on 1990s RPG nostalgia. Instead, it’s the latest in a string of excellent Square Enix tributes to past classics. Like 2022’s Tactics Ogre: Reborn and 2023’s Star Ocean: The Second Story R, it strikes a great balance…

After making three successful and action-packed films in the Has Fallen franchise (Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, Angel Has Fallen), the political conspiracy thriller series is shaking things up by bringing the fight to the small screen. The latest installment of the Has Fallen franchise, Paris Has Fallen, is a TV series coming to Hulu, starring franchise newcomers Tewfik Jallab (The Marches, Paradise Beach, Le convoi) and Ritu Arya (The Umbrella Academy, Polite Society, Red Notice). Hulu debuted a Paris Has Fallen trailer on Tuesday, giving action fans something to look forward to before Thanksgiving madness finds the entertainment industry hitting the snooze button for a few days.
Here’s the official synopsis for Paris Has Fallen courtesy of Hulu:
“When a terrorist group led by the villainous Jacob Pearce (Sean Harris) attacks a high-profile embassy reception, with the French Minister of Defence as their target, protection officer Vincent (Tewfik Jallab) finds himself working with street-smart MI6 operative Zara (Ritu Arya) to save the day. But when events take an increasingly dark turn, Vincent and Zara soon realize that the plan extends far beyond just one politician. With suspicions that one of their colleagues in the security services is feeding information to Pearce, Vincent and Zara soon come to rely on each other more than either would have ever imagined. Increasingly isolated and with Pearce always one step ahead, can this unlikely pair stop Paris from falling to a man hell-bent on vengeance?”
The series, adapted from the Has Fallen movie franchise, was written by Howard Overman and produced by Julian Murphy and Johnny Caps for URBAN MYTH FILMS. Oded Ruskin, alongside Hans Herbots, is the lead director of Paris Has Fallen.
Today’s Paris Has Fallen trailer teases the 8-episode series, coming to Hulu on December 6, 2024. In the trailer, Tewfik Jallab and Ritu Arya let their action chops out of the bag for a fast-paced thriller fueled by double-crosses, political subterfuge, and vengeance served cold. We’ve seen Ritu Arya f**k s**t up in The Umbrella Academy, and we can’t wait to see her do her thing alongside Tewfik Jallab, who looks to fill the shoes left behind by the Has Fallen movie franchise lead Gerard Butler.

When The Equalizer 3 was released last year, it was promoted as being the final chapter in the film franchise – even though director Antoine Fuqua let it be known that he was interested in going back and telling the origin story of Robert McCall, the ex-Marine and DIA officer played by Denzel Washington in the trilogy. There’s no word on whether or not one them will actually end up being an origin story, but Washington has now revealed that he has agreed to come back for both The Equalizer 4 and The Equalizer 5!
Washington dropped the news during an interview with Esquire, saying, “I told them I would do another Equalizer, and we’re doing four and five. More people are happy about that – people love those daggone Equalizers. But I’ve come to realize that the Equalizer films are for me, too, because they’re for the people. They want me to go get the bad guys. ‘We can’t get them, so you go get them.’ And I say, Okay, I’ll get them! Just wait right there. I’ll be right back!“
The Equalizer film franchise is based on the spy thriller television series that originally ran on CBS from 1985 to 1989. On the show, the retired intelligence agent McCall was played by Edward Woodward. Concurrent to the Denzel Washington movies, CBS has been airing a new version of The Equalizer that stars Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, “a divorced single mother and former CIA operative who acts as a street vigilante for justice.”
The original series was created by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim. All three of the Equalizer movies starring Denzel Washington have been directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by Richard Wenk. Washington didn’t tell Esquire whether or not Fuqua and Wenk will also be back for The Equalizer 4 and The Equalizer 5, but it’s likely that they’ll at least be consulted.
Are you glad to hear that Denzel Washington is on board to come back for two more Equalizer sequels? Share your thoughts on this news, and let us know what you’d like to see in The Equalizer 4 and The Equalizer 5, by leaving a comment below.
