Belgian director Michaël R. Roskam has turned a 1943 media heist into a period comedy‑thriller, calling it “Ocean’s Eleven, but with a newspaper.” The film, titled Le Faux Soir, dramatizes how Belgian journalists and printers hijacked the Nazi‑controlled newspaper Le Soir and replaced it with a satirical counterfeit that mocked the occupiers, a first‑ever media hack. Roskam, known for Bullhead and The Drop, worked with co‑writer Bernard Falaise to adapt the story, insisting on realistic, humor‑driven characters rather than overt satire. He cast prominent French‑speaking actors such as François Damiens, Arieh Worthalter, Bouli Lanners, and Mélanie Thierry to embody the witty resistance fighters. The director emphasized the importance of period authenticity, researching 1940s printing techniques and consulting surviving witnesses. Le Faux Soir premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and is being sold worldwide by Goodfellas. The film offers a fresh take on resistance, blending historical intrigue with comedic timing, and showcases how humor can serve as a form of defiance against tyranny.
Vintage Violence, directed by Eugene Kotlyarenko, launches with a vertical livestream of an urbex influencer exploring a deserted American house, immediately establishing a chaotic aesthetic. The story follows Carter, played by Cole Sprouse, who has just been released from prison after serving time for an accidental death, and he stumbles upon a crate of untouched 19th‑century Levi’s jeans. Izumi, portrayed by Kiko Mizuhara, watches the livestream from Tokyo, buys tokens, and texts Carter an invitation to Japan, promising a lucrative denim resale and a budding romance. Kotlyarenko weaves a fragmented narrative that splits into multiple timelines, introducing yakuza figures like Edoga, a denim‑obsessed nepo‑baby, and Ko, a prosthetic‑armed avenger who sprays enemies with a mix of fentanyl, ketamine, meth, and tirzepatide. The film’s humor relies on language jokes, such as Carter confusing “saiko” with “psycho,” and draws heavily on the visual style of Seijun Suzuki and the brutality of Takashi Miike. Critics note that while the characters lack sympathy, the frenetic camerawork, denim‑lined rooms, and over‑the‑top violence keep the audience engaged. Ultimately, the review finds the film too much, with its overstimulation and performative anti‑foreign sentiment undermining its potential for deeper storytelling.
Scrubs season 10 premiered on ABC on February 25, 2026, bringing back the beloved 2001‑2010 series after a 15‑year break.

Returning cast members include Donald Faison as Christopher Turk, Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid, and Zach Braff as Dr. John Dorian, with new writers and directors shaping the fresh episodes. Critics praised the show for balancing nostalgia with contemporary relevance, noting its similarity to the mockumentary style of Abbott Elementary. The season’s release was a surprise critical and commercial hit, proving that long‑running sitcoms can thrive when they evolve with the times. ABC’s decision to revive Scrubs demonstrates the network’s confidence in the series’ enduring appeal and its ability to resonate with both old fans and new viewers. The success of season 10 sets the stage for future episodes and solidifies Scrubs’ place in modern television history.
Actor Rosalind Eleazar has secured the titular role in Misty Green, a new film written, produced, and directed by Chris Rock. The character is a former Hollywood star struggling with substance abuse and a declining reputation, though she maintains a vibrant, resilient spirit. Eleazar described the opportunity as a dream role that she initially viewed as a long shot due to her established screen persona.
To prepare for the complex part, the Slow Horses star underwent intensive training, including singing lessons and movement work using the 5Rhythms method to develop the character's specific physicality. The production also features a high-profile ensemble cast including Daniel Kaluuya, Adam Driver, and Anna Kendrick. Rock portrays a director who recognizes the underlying talent within the protagonist.
Misty Green is scheduled to have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12. Following the premiere, the film will hold gala screenings during the BFI London Film Festival. A24 is set to manage a limited theatrical release for the movie starting October 9.
Ahsoka’s second season, confirmed for a January 20, 2027 launch on Disney+, is poised to introduce a major continuity dilemma for the Star Wars saga. The new series will feature Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker training a younger Ahsoka, played by Ariana Greenblatt, while Rosario Dawson’s adult Ahsoka appears in key scenes. Ezra Bridger, portrayed by Eman Esfandi, reunites with Hera Syndulla, now fighting alongside the New Republic. Concept art shows Grand Admiral Thrawn, played by Lars Mikkelsen, escalating conflict toward war, raising questions about how such a large-scale battle fits into the established New Republic era. The show’s narrative will therefore need to reconcile this conflict with the timeline leading up to The Force Awakens. Lucasfilm’s teaser and promotional material hint at higher stakes and a broader story arc than the first season’s contained conflict. Fans and critics alike are watching closely to see if Disney+ will address potential timeline inconsistencies before the premiere.
Tim Curry, the actor who famously portrayed Pennywise in the 2017 and 2019 "It" films, died on Aug. 25 from coronary artery disease at age 80. The Muschiettis, his niece Barbara and brother Andy, who co‑created the HBO prequel series "It: Welcome to Derry," expressed gratitude for Curry’s lasting influence. They noted that his work extended beyond horror, citing roles in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," "Annie," and his musical career. The siblings had revitalized the Pennywise myth in 2017, then expanded it with the 2025 series that premiered on HBO Max and is now renewed for a second season set in 1935. Season 2 will focus on the Bradley Gang massacre, an event from Stephen King’s novel, and the Muschiettis are currently casting. They also highlighted the Cosm immersive experience in Los Angeles, which brings the film to life in a shared‑reality setting and plans to expand to other cities. The Muschiettis emphasized the importance of bringing audiences into theaters and praised the opportunity to re‑present Curry’s work. Their comments underscore the enduring legacy of a performer whose work continues to resonate.
Black Sails, Starz’s four‑season pirate drama, blends historical detail with the backstory of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Long John Silver. The series follows Captain Flint, played by Toby Stephens, a charismatic yet morally ambiguous leader who steers the crew of the Walrus. Luke Arnold portrays the opportunistic Long John Silver, whose conflict with Flint drives much of the show’s tension. Hannah New takes on Eleanor Guthrie, a complex woman whose loyalties shift between the crew and the colonial authorities. Stephens, a former Royal Shakespeare Company actor, had earlier earned recognition as Gustav Graves in Die Another Day before joining the cast. Arnold, an Australian native, began his career with the film Broken Hill and later appeared in television series such as Salvation. New, born in London, broke into the industry with The Time in Between and has since taken on diverse roles across film and TV. Although the show was canceled in 2017, its ensemble cast has continued to secure high‑profile projects, keeping the Black Sails legacy alive.
The film "Company" opened in competition at the Venice Film Festival, drawing attention for its quiet storytelling and strong performances. Director Casey Affleck has crafted a narrative that jumps between 1975, 1953 and 1903, using long, intimate two‑shot scenes to explore grief, regret and forgiveness. Nick Nolte plays Tom, an isolated cabin dweller who encounters a young woman in the snow, while Adelaide Clemens portrays Rebecca, a farm woman in the 1903 segment who rescues a child. The film’s visual style relies on careful framing and lighting, with cinematographer Marcell Rév capturing the stillness that defines each era. Nolte praised the script’s delicate silences and the opportunity to work with a seasoned director, while Clemens highlighted the trust required to perform in the film’s restrained moments. Affleck’s direction emphasizes listening and presence, allowing actors’ expressions to carry the story. The premiere marks a significant moment for the film’s cast and crew, showcasing a new approach to period drama at a major international festival.
Comedy Central announced that Drunk History will return with three short‑form episodes after a six‑year hiatus, with the first installment scheduled for release on the network’s YouTube channel on September 15. The revival will feature familiar narrators Lisa Gilroy, Patton Oswalt and Marisha Ray, and the opening episode will cover Madonna’s 1985 MTV Music Awards performance, with Meghan Trainor portraying the pop icon. Subsequent installments will revisit political history, focusing on Frances Perkins’s role in shaping FDR’s New Deal, and a quirky tale of two men attempting to build the world’s largest ball of twine. Derek Waters, the original creator, and Comedy Central EVP Ari Pearce welcomed the return, noting the show’s blend of humor and historical insight. The series, which earned 11 Emmy nominations and one costume award, was originally canceled in August 2020 amid COVID‑related production delays and a shift toward adult animation. No further episodes have been announced beyond the three short‑form installments, but the revival offers fans a chance to revisit the Emmy‑winning format. The decision follows a broader trend of streaming platforms repurposing legacy content to attract viewers on digital channels.
Alex Gibney’s 225‑minute documentary "Musk" premiered at the Venice Film Festival, portraying Elon Musk as a narcissistic, self‑justifying figure. The film uses a CGI avatar to reenact Musk’s own words, highlighting his claims about space exploration and simulation theory. It accuses Tesla of overstating self‑driving safety, citing fatal accidents such as the 2019 Florida incident that killed 22‑year‑old Naibel Benevides Leon. The documentary also alleges that Tesla hid data from the crash and misrepresented battery range, while promising a future network of roadside charging ports. Musk’s personal relationships are examined, from his first marriage to Justine Musk and the death of their son Nevada to his liaisons with Grimes and influencer Ashley St. Clair. St. Clair claims Musk sought to influence the 2024 U.S. election through his Starlink network, a claim the film leaves unverified. The film’s critical tone and investigative depth sparked debate about the billionaire’s public persona and corporate practices.
Alex Gibney’s four‑hour documentary “Musk” offers a detailed, damning portrait of Elon Musk, tracing his rise and the beginnings of his decline. The film compiles every public statement Musk has made, using an AI‑generated avatar to recreate his likeness, and supplements this archive with interviews from former influencer Ashley St. Clair, ex‑wife Justine Musk, and father Errol Musk. Critics note the film’s use of first‑person shooter‑style CG to dramatize Musk’s takeover of Twitter and Capitol Hill, symbolizing his ruthless workforce reductions. It also examines Musk’s partnership with Donald Trump, the dismantling of USAID, and the broader political‑social forces that have elevated him to a folk hero for some and a cautionary tale for others. The review highlights the documentary’s focus on Musk’s obsession with procreation, describing his ex‑wives as “breeders” and his desire to launch his children into space. Environmental and economic consequences of his ventures are portrayed as catastrophic, underscoring the film’s bleak outlook. While the film promises bombshell revelations, the reviewer argues it ultimately serves as a sobering summary of how Musk’s power has shaped the modern world.
At the Venice Film Festival, Hirokazu Koreeda presents a live‑action adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s one‑shot manga, ‘Look Back.’ The 1 hour 40 minute film follows two rural teenagers, Fujino and Kyomoto, as they grow from shy classmates into collaborative manga artists. Koreeda’s direction and cinematographer Senzo Ueno translate the manga’s delicate pen‑and‑brush aesthetic into soft colors, light, and texture, sometimes morphing into stylized anime when the story demands it. The result feels fragile yet beautifully resonant, echoing the original’s poetic seasonal shifts. The narrative centers on Fujino’s early confidence, her rivalry with Kyomoto, and the eventual friendship that blossoms when the shy artist finally meets her idol. Together they publish under the joint pseudonym Kyo Fujino, gaining a modest following before parting ways as Kyomoto heads to art school. While the film stretches the manga’s concise story, it deepens the emotional texture, offering a quiet meditation on ambition, competition, and the healing power of shared creativity. Critics note that the film’s lingering poignancy and visual charm make it a delicate charmer for fans of Koreeda’s humanist touch.

Gaten Matarazzo returns as Screech, the nerdy sidekick, bringing depth and nuance beyond his Netflix fame. Jalen Thomas Brooks steps into the part of A.C. Slater, the former star quarterback, adding a new dynamic to the Bayside High ensemble. The original series, which ran in the 1990s, has seen various iterations, including a short‑lived Peacock revival that struggled to capture the original charm. The new casting choices aim to balance nostalgia with contemporary appeal, hoping to attract both longtime fans and a new generation of viewers. The project signals a renewed interest in teen sitcoms that blend classic themes with modern sensibilities.
Guy Nattiv’s debut feature, ‘The Liberation’, premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on September 4, 2026, running 125 minutes. The film follows Rita Cooper, a 40‑something New Jersey bank employee played by Carrie Coon, who is drawn into a female‑only cult led by Lily James’s enigmatic Ricki. Rita’s life is depicted in two timelines: her ordinary day job and her past as a Holocaust survivor in a video project, while the present shows her slowly succumbing to Ricki’s manipulative recruitment. The story, based on Nattiv’s grandmother and real cult survivors, explores female camaraderie, identity, and the psychological toll of cult involvement. Co‑written by Noa Berman Herzberg, the film is edited by Sabine Hoffman and Yuval Orr, with grainy cinematography by Fabian Gamper and Tudor Vladimir Panduru that evokes the early‑80s aesthetic. The climax centers on Rita’s daughter Jo, who is diabetic and endangered by the commune, forcing mother and sister to rescue her. Variety’s Tomris Laffly praises Coon’s dual portrayal of Rita’s domestic and commune selves, noting the film’s tense pacing and emotional depth.
Netflix is set to replace its flagship high‑fantasy series The Witcher with two fresh franchises, the animated Magic: The Gathering series and Greta Gerwig’s live‑action Narnia film. The Narnia movie, The Magician’s Nephew, will hit Netflix on April 2 2027 and open in cinemas on February 12, 2027, marking the first time the studio will release a fantasy film theatrically. With a $280 million budget, the film will explore the origins of Narnia’s White Witch and the iconic lamppost. Meanwhile, the Magic: The Gathering series, revived in 2024 under showrunner Terry Matalas, will bring the 30‑year‑old card game to animated television after a 2019 announcement stalled by the Russo brothers. Netflix also plans a live‑action Dungeons & Dragons series, Ravenloft, led by John August and Alfonso Cuarón. The move follows earlier cancellations of Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone and The Wheel of Time, underscoring the difficulty of sustaining fantasy on streaming platforms. Other services - HBO, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV, and Peacock - are also expanding their fantasy line‑ups, signaling a broader industry push into the genre. Netflix’s new slate aims to capitalize on the genre’s long‑term fan loyalty and franchise potential.
Season 2 of Hulu’s ‘Chad Powers’ pushes the show’s central lie, Russ Holliday’s secret identity, as the team pursues a national championship. Creator Michael Waldron says the new arc forces characters to confront how far they’ll go to win, blurring the line between ambition and morality. Russ, played by Glen Powell, scrambles to keep his alter‑ego hidden while his teammate Ricky (Perry Mattfeld) learns the truth and resists revealing it. The plot thickens when a 3‑D‑printed gun planted in a locker by Danny (Frankie Rodriguez) sparks paranoia, pushing the crew toward increasingly desperate measures. Waldron compares the drama to Breaking Bad, noting that the reveal of Russ as Chad could mirror Walter White’s double life, adding a high‑stakes twist. The season ends with Coach Hudson (Steve Zahn) walking in on a compromising scene, leaving the characters to decide whether to expose the truth or protect their ambitions. Both Waldron and Powell emphasize that the show remains grounded in the question: is winning worth the cost of integrity and personal relationships? As the lie mounts, the writers aim to keep viewers questioning the price of success, setting up a dramatic climax for the season’s finale.
George Clooney delivered a masterclass at the Venice Film Festival’s Match Point Arena, reflecting on a career that spans nearly five decades. He recalled the risk he took to make the 2005 political drama Good Night, and Good Luck, mortgaging his house to fund the film before showing it to a Venice audience. Clooney linked the film’s themes of press freedom to contemporary media challenges, noting that networks, law firms and universities are caving to populist pressures. He paid tribute to his father, journalist Nick Clooney, and highlighted the Clooney Foundation’s success in freeing 100 journalists from jail. Clooney praised his wife, human‑rights lawyer Amal, for securing convictions against war‑crime perpetrators, including the case of Yazidi survivor Nadia Murad. He also discussed the balance of power between actors and directors, citing his experience on Terrence Malick’s A Thin Red Line. During the Q&A, a 25‑year‑old Belgian‑Algerian film‑school graduate asked for a job, and Clooney offered her a role on an upcoming Italian production. The session underscored Clooney’s belief that activism, storytelling and opportunity can shape a better world.
Werner Herzog’s latest feature, Bucking Fastard, follows Irish sisters Jean and Joan Holbrooke, played by Kate and Rooney Mara, who share a single mind and body. The film opens with the sisters recounting a shared dream of squawking birds, a motif that recurs as they navigate a bizarre court case, a failed romance, and a tunnel‑building obsession. Herzog pairs the sisters’ synchronized movements with a quirky ensemble that includes Orlando Bloom as their former lover, Domhnall Gleeson as a social‑services worker, and a host of supporting actors. The director’s signature surrealism is evident in the film’s absurd set pieces, such as a courtroom that allows two witnesses to testify simultaneously and a scene where the sisters are photographed while undressing. Critics note that the film’s humor and visual style are reminiscent of Herzog’s earlier work, yet the narrative feels fragmented and underdeveloped. The score by Ernst Reijseger and the film’s dedication to David Lynch add to its off‑beat atmosphere. Despite its ambition, Bucking Fastard ultimately falls short of delivering a cohesive story, leaving viewers with a sense of wonder but little resolution.
Jon Favreau, the writer‑director of Disney+’s Star Wars series The Mandalorian, recently revealed that a single, quiet scene is the most important part of the show. In the scene, the young child Grogu sits down to eat popcorn, a moment that feels far more intimate than the series’ frequent action sequences. Favreau explained that this calm moment carries a deeper narrative weight, offering insight into Grogu’s character and the emotional core of the story. He noted that fans often focus on the high‑energy battles and dramatic twists, but the popcorn scene reveals a quieter, more human side of the saga. The director’s comment came during an interview with ScreenRant, where he emphasized how subtle moments can outshine the spectacle. Favreau’s observation highlights the power of understated storytelling in a franchise known for its epic scale. The remark invites viewers to re‑evaluate the series’ quieter beats and appreciate the depth they add to the overall narrative.

The series, which began as an independently financed first season, has maintained a modest budget that has helped it stay profitable for the streaming platform.

Under the overall deal, Gillis is also slated to film two new stand‑up specials.
