In the kaleidoscope of futuristic cinema, ‘Kalki 2898 Ad’ emerges with a tantalizing promise of a narrative spanning epochs. Yet, beneath the glimmer of star-studded names like Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and the likes, lies a cautionary tale: the stars themselves are but vessels, vessels sailing at the whim of the narrative’s tide. For in the grand tapestry of cinematic brilliance, it is the story that reigns supreme, dictating the fate of a film.
Kalki 2898 Ad Trailer reaction: Fans compare the movie with Dune and says ‘One more Adipurush by Prabhas’
Alas, ‘Kalki 2898 Ad’ seems to tread the path less desired. Like a mirage promising treasures beyond compare, it beckons with its visuals – awe-inspiring landscapes, futuristic marvels, and technological splendors. Yet, as the curtain rises, the illusion shatters, revealing a narrative void, barren of substance. The dialogue, devoid of the lyrical charm expected of Hindi cinema,...

A prequel to the two Stephen King-based It movies from Andy Muschietti, Max’s upcoming series “Welcome to Derry” will feature the return of Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise the Clown, but when can you expect to start streaming? Max is eyeing a 2025 premiere.
HBO’s Casey Bloys tells Variety this week, “One of the advantages that I think we have as a company, putting aside HBO for a second, is all the Warner Bros. IP. So after House of the Dragon, the next big tentpole series that we have coming up will be the Penguin with Colin Farrell. That is coming out of Matt Reeves’ The Batman and it’s fantastic. Just like Peacemaker came out of James Gunn’s Suicide Squad, it’s a really good example of what you can do. That’ll be in September.”

Casting actors in their late 20s or early 30s for high school roles was a standard procedure in Hollywood for years. But we’ve come a long way since, as in Euphoria, almost every actor looked the part, including Zendaya, who was 22 when she was cast in the role of Rue.
However, it has been five years since, and almost every major star from the show is currently in the latter half of their 20s, with some even evolving into huge A-listers in Hollywood. This further raised a query on the future of the next installment, but it appears, season 3 is still in the cards.

The Conjuring 4 – which, last we heard, was going by the title The Conjuring: Last Rites – is expected to be the final installment of the series at the heart of the Conjuring Universe… but it’s only the ending when it comes to big screen feature films. Fourteen months ago, it was announced that a The Conjuring TV series is in the works at the Max streaming service, and now Casey Bloys, the chairman and CEO of HBO and Max content, has confirmed that the show is still in development.

Frank Herbert’s first Dune book was published almost sixty years ago, in 1965. Despite its properly ruthless and appealing setting and the author’s fame, it didn’t exactly turn into a massive IP: while Dune sure had its fair share of fans, the 1984 adaptation by David Lynch didn’t do it justice, and the wonders of Arrakis remained hidden from most people.
A Prophet Changed Everything 3 Years Ago
Just like in the original story, it was the arrival of the prophet that completely turned the tide. In 2021, director Denis Villeneuve released his version of Dune — and this time, the franchise really blew up. Boasting a star-studded cast, strong writing, and visuals and soundtracks so breathtaking they belong in a museum, the latest adaptation took its game to a whole new level.
In 2023, Villeneuve followed it up with the second installment that left an open ending for its main character — Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides.

The Batman was released to glowing reviews in 2022 and, while it could have easily been a standalone movie similar to Joker, Warner Bros. wasted no time in enlisting filmmaker Matt Reeves for a sequel.
Rumours of a second and third movie shooting back have proven false, but The Penguin is still on track to be released later this year. The Max series will bridge the gap between The Batman and The Batman II, chronicling Ozwald Cobblepot's rise to Gotham City Kingpin.
While we've previously been told that The Penguin will launch on the streamer this "fall," the official premiere month has just been shared by Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max content.

The trailer for Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 Ad was unveiled, generating excitement among fans anticipating the futuristic action-thriller featuring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani in prominent roles. Despite all the hype and buzz, the trailer falls flat on several fronts, leaving much to be desired.
The internet is divided some fans are loving the trailer calling it a blockbuster while others are comparing it with hollywood movie Dune.
The desert aesthetic, epic explosions and battle scenes also reminded internet of Dune, which starred Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet. Kalki 2898 Ad is inspired by Hindu mythology, it contains similar elements that will draw in fans of Dune. The action, the scale, and the costume design do bear some resemblance.

It’s shaping up to be a big summer for Max in France. Warner Bros. Discovery’s standalone streaming service is finally launching on Tuesday in France and Belgium with a splashy lineup, including “House of the Dragon” Season 2 and coverage of the upcoming Olympic Games starting on July 26.
While in Paris for the “House of the Dragon” premiere, Jb Perrette, president/CEO of global streaming and games at Warner Bros. Discovery, and Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and Max content, sat down with Variety to discuss hitting the ground running in France.
Max has rolled out in over 65 territories, including 20 across Europe, since its U.S. launch in May 2023, when the streaming service was rebranded after the 2022 merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery.

We first posted about this movie about a year ago when the first teasers debuted at Sdcc. Now it has a final release date set - June 27th worldwide - and one amazing new official trailer to enjoy.

Plot details are sparse so far, but it's a Hindu religion inspired epic story with imagery that is reminiscent of Villeneuve's Dune. In Kalki 2898 Ad, Indian mega star Prabhas plays a modern-day embodiment of Lord Vishnu who arrives to help save Earth and protect it from evil forces. Directed By Nag Ashwin, the film also stars Amitabh Bachchan,...

It has become common knowledge that a vast majority of the Star Wars franchise was inspired by Frank Herbert’s Dune series. Both have noticeable similarities, and the influence is not surprising considering just how many have had a similar relationship with the classic book series. One of the most evident resemblances between the two stories is the characters of Paul Atreides and Anakin Skywalker.

Their beginnings as heroes and their deaths, reminiscent of antagonists, will forever be heartbreaking. However, there is no denying that one of these stories executed their corruption better than the other. Even though George Lucas was inspired by Herbert’s work, he was unable to outdo the original.

Screenwriter Eric Roth has written an adaptation of the sci-fi short story called I Am Waiting For You, reportedly for Dune director Denis Villeneuve.
Having made what is currently the highest grossing film of 2024, Dune: Part Two, the logical question is: what does director Denis Villeneuve make next? There’s been talk about turning his Dune saga into a trilogy with Dune: Messiah, but the filmmaker has previously said “it would be healthy” to make something slightly different before he returns to Arrakis.
Among the potential films we know about there’s his long-discussed Cleopatra epic; an adaptation of Arthur C Clarke’s sci-fi novel Rendezvous With Rama, an adaptation of the non-fiction book Nuclear War: A Scenario.
Then there’s a slightly more mysterious sci-fi film said to be “about space and time”, written by Eric Roth, who also wrote the adapted screenplay of Rendezvous With Rama. When Roth...

Ridley Scott's 2015 film "The Martian," based on the novel by Andy Weir, was one of the year's best films. Set in the near future, "The Martian" tells the story of a botanist named Dr. Mark Watney (Matt Damon) who went on a mission to Mars with a team of other astronaut researchers. When a storm hit the Martian surface, the astronauts fled, forced to leave Watney behind. Watney, having limited air and resources, assesses his situation and begins constructing a long-term shelter. Using his botanical know-how, and possessed of gumption and optimism, Watney proceeds "to science the s*** out of" the situation, teaching himself how to grow food in the Martian soil and keep his air supply viable. He also scours nearby Martian landing sites, looking for communication equipment that would allow him to contact Earth.
"The Martian" values scientific knowledge, arguing that being well-educated and highly trained are practical and exhilarating virtues.

Seriously, Todd Howard and his team have managed to craft a game that has defined an entire generation of gamers, leaving a mark in the gaming landscape.
It’s really easy to play through The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and get caught up in the immersive world and lore, which might make you forget about the fantastic voice acting that went into the game. While multiple voice actors have lent their talents to a number of characters, others are limited to a handful or simply one. That being said, there are very famous names attached to Skyrim, including one who even played Diana Prince in the DC’s incredibly popular Wonder Woman series!

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune films are visual spectacles, but there’s one thing that elevates the look of the films completely. Hans Zimmer’s Oscar-winning musical score in Dune and his subsequent work in Dune: Part Two were both integral parts of Villeneuve’s storytelling. However, unlike Christopher Nolan, the Sicario director did one thing to avoid limiting the musician’s perspective.
Hans Zimmer (credits: Raph_PH | Wikimedia Commons)
During a recent interview, Zimmer shared that Villeneuve never showed him the script for the films. The director wanted the score to come out of the conversations he had with Zimmer about Frank Herbert’s classic novel. Interestingly, their collaboration began on Blade Runner 2049 after Villeneuve parted ways with his frequent collaborator Jóhann Jóhannsson.

From keeping footprints out of frame to the VFX team having to create a whole technique for the hologram scenes, everything about Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" and its sequel required meticulous attention to detail and a willingness to innovate in order to bring Frank Herbert's 1965 story to life. One of the best examples of this is the Harkonnen arena battle from "Dune: Part Two," in which three Atreides soldiers face off against Austin Butler's vicious warrior Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.
Shot entirely in monochrome, this sequence stands out not only for its distinct visual style but for its intensity and the creeping sense of doom it evokes. As Feyd-Rautha, nephew of the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård), takes on the captured Atreides soldiers, his unbridled glee at ending their lives and the roars of the Harkonnen crowd establish Butler's...

Though they're undeniably successful, large parts of Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" movies can come off a little bleak. Still, there's no denying the sheer coolness factor of the ornithopters. The aircraft used by House Atreides to traverse the desert landscapes of the planet Arrakis are one of the most memorable elements of the "Dune" aesthetic, combining the form of a dragonfly with elements of helicopter design and producing something so visually striking that Lego has since produced one of the coolest building brick vehicles ever with its ornithopter set.
Production designer Patrice Vermette began working on the ornithopter back in 2018 and drew from a multitude of inspirations, including insects and birds on the natural side of things and helicopters on the more technological side. Once the design had been nailed down, the production team actually built large parts of the 'thopters to allow the "Dune" actors to interact with the hardware.

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune films are seen as technical masterpieces not only for the director’s unique vision in bringing Frank Herbert’s narratives to life, but also for the haunting score by one of the world’s prolific composers, Hans Zimmer. The musician’s soaring notes that brought the vast Arrakis sands to life, made viewers immerse themselves even more fervently into Herbert’s world.

Zimmer, who confessed to having an excellent working relationship with Villeneuve for the films, gave an interesting bit of trivia regarding the score for Dune 2. The composer revealed that he started working on the 2nd film even before the director gave him the green signal to do so, and secretly used a particular piece multiple times as an opener during his Europe tour.

Before he was crossing box office milestones with his blockbuster "Dune" duology, Denis Villeneuve was trying to make a name for himself with smaller-scale psychological thrillers. His 2013 English-language debut, "Prisoners," went a long way to establishing the French-Canadian filmmaker as a directorial force outside of his homeland — a status which was cemented after one of Villeneuve's best films, "Sicario," arrived in 2015. But while "Sicario" is often cited as the film that put the director on the map, there are many, this writer included, who consider "Prisoners" to be just as good a film, and perhaps an even more immersive and haunting experience.
The film's appeal endures even now, with "Prisoners" topping the Netflix charts in 2023 and reintroducing itself to a generation that may have missed some of Villeneuve's pre-blockbuster films. There's good reason for that. Villeneuve's 2013 effort works on multiple levels, as both a taut thriller with plenty of...

Dune: Awakening looks to capitalize on the success of the Timothée Chalamet-led films and comes at the right time. Announced more than a year and a half ago, the survival Mmo set in Frank Herbert’s universe has already amassed over a million wishlists on Steam. The story-focused trailer of the game was released at Summer Game Fest recently, and it appears that the gameplay takes place in a universe where Paul Atreides was never born.

Summer Game Fest had a ton of excellent reveals, but perhaps one of the most bizarre trailers belonged to Skate, the upcoming Electronic Arts, commonly known as EA, game about, well, skating.

The level of impact that Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic Dune has had on almost every type of media simply can’t be denied, as the kind of depth that the fictional universe accompanies is rarely found anywhere else. So when Funcom announced that it would be putting a survival Mmo spin on it, it was naturally an exciting prospect, with every bit of information that comes out about the game adding to the hype around it.

Jason Momoa was recently cast in the hit sci-fi series Dune. But the fact that he’d gotten a spot in such a highly coveted movie gave Momoa a bit of imposter syndrome.

Momoa was a part of an ensemble cast of actors who starred in the Denis Villeneuve film adaptation. But initially, he was just excited about working with Villeneuve himself, regardless of the movie. The actor recalled in an interview with IndieWire how he ended up cast as Duncan Idaho.
“I got a call from my agent literally on top of a mountain, and I was shocked, and he was like, ‘Denis Villeneuve wants to talk to you right now,'” Momoa recalled. “I thought it was a prank. He said, ‘He wants to talk to you right now.

Apart from Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) and The Matrix (1999) that were absolute bangers at the time and are still considered cult classics, we can’t really say that the decade of 1990s was fruitful in terms of worth-watching sci-fi movies that left a mark on history.
We’re going to talk about a movie that was forgotten just like hundreds of 90s science fiction flicks. It deserves much more attention as it brings surrealism to the genre and breaks its canons: here, it is a person who does most of the evil, not an alien or a robot.
The intricate plot of the film revolves around Bill, a disgraced writer struggling through a creative crisis, severe drug addiction and failed relationship. His wife Joan gets used to stealing his supplies and messing around with reckless Beat poets.

Before director Denis Villeneuve and production designer Patrice Vermette put their talents to work, "Dune" and "Dune: Part Two" were in danger of being a tad visually monotonous. With the first film in particular, there's only so much you can do aesthetically with a movie that takes place entirely on an arid, desert planet. Still, we did get a look at the Atreides' native planet of Caladan at the top of "Dune," which provided a nice counterpoint to the sepia hues that dominated the rest of the film. For the sequel however, Villeneuve not only ratcheted up the action, but gave us even more of a visual feast.
While "Dune: Part Two" was still somewhat of a bleak blockbuster, most of the gloominess came from the film's finale, in which Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) embraces his ascension to the Emperor's...

Only the learned can perceive the merit, goes the saying. Among the vast pool of talent in Hollywood, only a few have managed to bring across a resounding impact not only in terms of the box office but also by catapulting into everyday pop culture. The latest entrant to that hallowed fame is the cinematic genius and the 21st-century Dune adaptation’s director, Denis Villeneuve, whose worth has found immense praise from fellow film pioneer, Steven Spielberg.

Dave Bautista is one of the few iconic WWE stars who have transitioned into Hollywood quite perfectly. While Bautista started off in the industry via an uncredited cameo in Relative Strangers way back in 2006, it is his stints in multiple major franchises that have led to him becoming a part of the mainstream.

This includes franchises such as Guardians of the Galaxy, Blade Runner, and most recently, Dennis Villeneuve’s Dune. Dying at the hands of fellow MCU star Josh Brolin’s Gurney Halleck. However, while his Dune journey might have come to an end, the movie in itself included another scene in which Bautista claims exposed the kind of layers his character had.
During a recent interview, the 55-year-old went into detail over the kind of mindset that he was in, when he first read the scene.

TV's best and most passionate breakdowns are occasionally subtle and often legendary.
They're the culmination of the negative, the positive, or simply the need for upheaval in an otherwise flat character arc -- a self-destruction so piteous as to seem irredeemable.
Sometimes, this act affects others as well.
Naturally, the on-screen breakdown is the culmination of psychological stressors, whether self-induced or brought on by binge-watching The Brady Bunch Variety Hour.
It's often difficult to watch without empathy, especially in characters we've grown to love and even in some we love to hate.
After all, the most intense breakdowns are all too often close to home and personal to the viewers.
It's easier to empathize with Walter White's failure to find the money to pay Saul in Breaking Bad if you've ever misplaced a hundred-dollar bill in the couch cushions.
The closer a TV series parallels real life, the more we can empathize with the characters.

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two was the first big blockbuster of the year and led to a horde of new fans joining the fandom. The Timothée Chalamet starrer was based on Frank Herbert’s popular sci-fi novels and was the sequel of 2021’s Dune: Part One. The film also starred Stellan Skarsgård, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, and more.
While the film’s release led to many ‘Lisan-al-Gaib’ memes, nothing from the film went as viral as the infamous Dune popcorn bucket. The sandworm-shaped bucket was an object of ridicule from fans as well as the stars themselves. Ryan Reynolds recently released the Deadpool and Wolverine popcorn bucket as a joke, to which Villeneuve has responded.

The father of the Dune franchise, Denis Villeneuve, has recently lamented the fact that Dune 2 is still the highest-grossing movie of the year that earned more than $711M.
However, both Villeneuve and the audience can pay attention to other worth-watching box office successes of 2024, with 7 of them being enlisted here.
1. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire — $567 Million
Indeed, this year’s installment of the Monsterverse franchise attracted millions of viewers worldwide. The epic action roller coaster, following the next collaboration of Kong and Godzilla, is a must-watch for all kaiju movie fans.
2. Kung Fu Panda 4 — $543 Million
The animated martial arts franchise is still our favorite, and its box office success proves it. Both kids and adults will have a lot of fun observing Po’s complicated search for his successor as the new Dragon Warrior.
3. Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes — $338 Million
Here comes not only a commercial,...

Keep your big-budget extravaganzas and intellectual properties! These days, Hollywood actors are breathlessly lining up to join the Benoit Blanc Cinematic Universe. Ever since Rian Johnson singled-handedly revived the big screen whodunnit with 2019's "Knives Out," the mid-budget murder-mystery series has become the hottest destination for rising stars, A-listers, and under-sung veterans of the industry to flex their acting muscles as the various colorful characters that occupy this world. Even the property's shift from the theatrical market to the streaming landscape three years later with Netflix's "Glass Onion" wasn't enough to deter folks from flocking to these movies like they're the next "Dune" sequel.
Following the announcement of Johnson's third "Knives Out Mystery" last month (now officially titled "Wake Up Dead Man"), it's become a daily guessing game trying to figure out who will sign on to match wits with Daniel Craig's sharp-witted Southern sleuth Blanc next.
