With the upcoming release of Warfare, Alex Garland is once again poised to make waves within the film industry. Thus far, the war movie has received stellar praise thanks to a recent, early showing.

For those unfamiliar, Garland is renowned for his amazing screenplays, which include Dredd, Sunshine, Never Let Me Go, and 28 Days Later. He also steps behind the camera occasionally, having directed Ex Machina, Annihilation, Men, and the more recent, Civil War.

Garland is now back behind the director's chair for Warfare, which was co-written and directed by Ray Mendoza, a former Iraq War Navy Seal.

Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza’s Warfare is an honest, harrowing, intense and powerful piece. It’s one of the first must see movies of the year. An incredible tribute to the unimaginable sacrifice this brave band of brothers made. Incredible stuff. Flawless #Warfare #WarfareMovie pic.twitter.com/6NgNzhQZIP

If acclaimed writer/director Alex Garland is going to make a war movie these days, you can safely bet that it'll turn out to be one of the most intense and visceral experiences of the year. He accomplished exactly that with last year's "Civil War," A24's terrifying drama starring Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny, and he's now set to go two for two with 2025's upcoming "Warfare." Co-directed and co-written by Iraq War combat veteran Ray Mendoza, this film's unique twist isn't that it's based on some original concept of a war-torn United States that only feels slightly more heightened than our present one -- instead, it has been marketed heavily as a largely one-location thriller taken straight out of the memories of various individuals involved in this very real mission gone horribly awry back in 2006.

Ahead of release later this month, A24 hosted a special screening for "Warfare...

If you are an avid gamer, I’d like for you to imagine a game that is a combination of Control, Dark Souls, and Death Stranding, and you would have something that looks like the upcoming video game title, Hell is Us. Scheduled to release later this year, this sci-fi horror title takes a lot of influence from one of Natalie Portman’s weirdest movies released back in 2018.

The upcoming game is one of those rare gems that truly dive headfirst into finding out how much you can push the limits of the mind-bending sci-fi genre.

Exclusive: Portishead co-founder Geoff Barrow has just wrapped his first feature film dubbed Game, which he co-wrote and produced via Invada Films, the newly launched arm of his Bristol-based Invada Records. Here we’ve got an exclusive first-look image from the film.

The thriller, which stars Marc Bessant and Jason Williamson and is the directorial debut of filmmaker John Minton, is set against the backdrop of the 1990s rave culture where two men – one a thief and one a poacher – must use their wits to survive.

It’s an idea that originated through a conversation between Barrow and Bessant, who then brought Minton and Rob Williams aboard to help with writing the story. Williams wrote the final screenplay.

The project was shot in and around Bristol in the UK and is now in post-production.

“John Minton and I have worked together for over 20 years on music projects and have always...

When Aamir Khan Took A Subtle Dig At Shah Rukh Khan’s Popularity (Photo Credit – Instagram)

There have often been rumors of Bollywood stars getting insecure of each other especially in case of box office successes. However, there was a time when Aamir Khan once admitted that he was unfazed by Shah Rukh Khan’s success and popularity. In a throwback interview, the Mr Perfectionist of Bollywood stated that he was not threatened by King Khan’s box office successes.

Aamir Khan On Getting Envious Of Shah Rukh Khan’s Popularity

In a throwback interview with Screen, Aamir Khan revealed that he would have felt threatened by Shah Rukh Khan’s soaring popularity if he had not have gotten the same love and respect that the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge actor has been getting. He added that the audience is also bestowing the same love on him that they are giving to Shah Rukh.

Starring the talented Natalie Portman in its titular role, Annihilationmade its theatrical release on February 23, 2018. After its long stint on Netflix, Annihilation will now receive the axe in international markets this March as a part of the streamer's ongoing content reshuffling efforts. The streaming giant frequently rotates its catalog due to licensing agreements and cost-cutting measures, a practice that has time and time again left subscribers frustrated.

Directed by Alex Garland, the name behind Ex Machina (2014), Annihilation is an adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer's novel of the same name and was produced by Scott Rudin, Eli Bush, and Andrew Macdonald. With its ambitious narrative, stunning visuals, and thought-provoking themes, Annihilation was widely successful on the streamer, earning itself a cult following. The film went on to receive critical acclaim and, despite not being a major commercial success, was soon cemented as one of the best original sci-fi horror films of the decade.

I run a lot of tabletop RPGs, but due to my friends’ availability they’re often one shots. While I would love to have more ongoing campaigns, this does allow me to sample as many systems as possible with the times we can find. That said, there is one game that I’ve been able to run multiple full-length campaigns of, and that’s Heart: The City Beneath by Grant Howitt and Christopher Taylor. Its amazing combination of fiction-forward mechanics and fiendishly clever world building makes it my favorite RPG I’ve played.

When publisher Rowan Rook and Decard announced they were going to be publishing their first campaign book for the system, I knew I’d be backing it immediately as the crowdfunding page went live. Now that the book, Dagger in the Heart by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan, is in my hands, I’m happy to say it’s a...

Mickey 17, directed by Bong Joon Ho, is expected to beat the industry’s projections after scoring a decent opening day number. The film’s opening day collection is on par with Ridley Scott’s Napoleon. Robert Pattinson and Mark Ruffalo’s sci-fi black comedy has been praised by the critics, but that is not enough for it to recover its hefty budget. Scroll below for the deets.

The movie has been awarded a B on CinemaScore and has good ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. It has received 79% on Rt, and critics have reportedly praised it for its thought-provoking themes and genre-fusing. The sci-fi flick features an ensemble cast comprising Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. It was welcomed with open arms at the box office in South Korea.

A24 has released a first look at Warfare, the new visceral cinematic event directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland. Mendoza was the military supervisor for Garland’s Civil War.

Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory.

A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real-time and based on the memory of the people who lived it.

The film was written and directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, whose directing and writing credits also include Ex Machina, Annihilation and Men. Garland previously wrote 28 Days Later, Sunshine, 28 Weeks Later, Never Let Me Go and Dredd as well.

The movie stars D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, and Henrique Zaga,...

Oscar-winning filmmaker Charlie Kaufman is making dreams come true with exciting news about his next feature. According to Deadline, Eddie Redmayne, Tessa Thompson, and Patsy Ferran will help lead Charlie Kaufman’s next film, Later the War, which he will write and direct, based on the short story Debby’s Dream House by Iddo Gefen.

Taken from Gefen’s literary collection Jerusalem Beach, the author’s short story follows a man who manufactures dreams for people but ultimately begins creating nightmares for them. Whether Kaufman’s version will adapt the story to its original form is unknown. Additionally, since it’s a short story, he’s bound to add new details. Ken Kao and Josh Rosenbaum will produce via Waypoint Entertainment, with Sarah Green of Brace Productions and Steven Demmler.

When it first began, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was known for starring underrated or underperforming Hollywood actors. Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) each earned international recognition after making their first appearances in the MCU. Before that, they were relative unknowns. Other actors, including Robert Downey Jr., used their roles to launch themselves back into the spotlight after facing declining respect from the industry. Early on, the MCU was a powerful force capable of making any actor into a star.

Some actors still had opportunities before appearing in Marvel's movies. Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Strange), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), and Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) were already renowned actors who had fully realized careers before ever adopting these characters. Still, it...

Drasa is a sniper for hire and business has been good. At least until she finds out her identity has been compromised. Needing to drop out of site for a while she accepts a year-long assignment operating a watchtower overlooking a mysterious gorge that doesn’t exist on any maps.

Directly across from it is another tower, this one manned by Levi a former Marine sniper. He’s been recruited by Bartholomew who tells him its a chance for him to pull himself out of the bottle and get his life back together.

Why are the towers there? That has something to do with what’s in the gorge, creatures referred to as The Hollow Men, after a poem by T.S. Eliot. Nobody knows what they are, but they wiped out a force...

What do T.S. Eliot, Annihilation, and romantic undead tales have in common? Scott Derrickson’s The Gorge. A threatening brand of military meet-cute makes for any genre fan’s Valentine’s Day treat—more love stories should have feral creatures and desperate stakes. Derrickson’s vision for Zach Dean’s multifaceted screenplay brings supernatural desolation and warm smiles in equal scoops, although the two-hour-plus duration is challenging. It’s a film with lofty ambitions meant to excite, scare, and woo that succeeds across the board, but a balancing act that honors all intentions can feel wobbly.

Overlooking a mist-cloaked gorge are two concrete outposts—one Eastern, one Western—with only a single patrol personnel assigned for one-year rotations. Ex-Marine private contractor Levi (Miles Teller) and a Lithuanian sniper working for Russia named Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy) are the latest crew, taking their respective duties in opposite towers. The catch? They don’t know each other exists,...

The Black Phone and Sinister director Scott Derrickson gets into the Valentine’s Day spirit with his latest, The Gorge, a romantic action thriller that also leans heavily into horror and sci-fi. Derrickson helms this genre mashup with lean efficiency, letting stars Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy do the heavy lifting as a pair of highly trained operatives turned lovers tasked with guarding the world against a strange threat. The leads’ inherent charm and screen presence and an inventive foray into thrilling action-horror territory sand some of The Gorge‘s rougher edges, making for a fun and romantic ride.

The Gorge introduces Levi (Teller) and Drasa (Taylor-Joy) as skilled snipers so efficient and isolated at their jobs that they’re enlisted in a top-secret mission that sees them whisked away to an undisclosed location deep in the middle of the wilderness, where they’re to guard opposite sides of a mysterious,...

I genuinely love movies about elite soldiers facing off against horrors beyond human comprehension. The sight of watching a warrior’s arrogance and bravery, which comes from their ability to wield the latest cutting-edge weapon, evaporates as they come to the realization that their primitive ways of warfare are of no use is oddly satisfying. I suppose Aliens is responsible for this obsession, immediately followed by the evergreen classic that is Predator. Dog Soldiers is really underrated and should get a lot more mainstream attention. I didn’t initially like Annihilation, but upon a rewatch, I admired what it was going for. I fell in love with Overlord almost instantly. I’m not sure if it counts, but I’ll give a shoutout to Underwater. Also, Love, Death & Robots’ shorts set in this subgenre, The Secret War, Sucker of Souls, Kill Team Kill, and In Vaulted Halls Entombed, are incredibly rewatchable.

When science-fiction and horror overlap, there is running and screaming, the towns people grab pitchforks and torches and the very idea of what it means to be human is called into question. At least, that’s what happens in some of the best movies that dip into both genres.

The age-old question of where the ethical line is in science and whether it should be crossed never ceases to generate new terrors as technology continues to develop. Killer cyborgs and androids? Out-of-control genetic mutation? Radiation-spawned monsters? All of these have have fueled some of our favorite sci-fi horror films.

If you’re new to this subgenre, here are some great movies to start with:

The 2012 comic book adaptation Dredd has become a streaming hit on Max. As more people revisited the film or experienced it for the first time, it moved up from the #8 spot on the top 10 movies list to #3. Karl Urban stars as the titular character in the film, which takes place in the violent and crime-ridden Mega City One. Cops called Judges, who serve as judges, juries, and executioners, patrol the streets and deliver brutal justice.

Urban's Dredd and his rookie psychic partner Cassandra (Olivia Thirlby) enter the dangerous territory of powerful drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey), with a power struggle ensuing and the two Judges trapped in an apartment complex filled with hardened criminals. In the vein of the Indonesian action film The Raid: Redemption, Dredd traps its characters and creates tension in the confined environment with thrilling action sequences.

Annihilation released in 2018 with only a brief run in theaters. Despite earning positive reviews, the film did poorly at the box office and has continued to be overlooked by audiences ever since. Starring Natalie Portman, the sci-fi movie blended elements of action films, thrillers, and horror, along with hauntingly beautiful and bizarre visuals to produce a unique experience that deserves more attention than it received. Fans who were fortunate enough to check it out were likely struck by its brilliant writing and performances, as well as its message about illness and grief.

Sickness, death, and coping with loss are all explored in Annihilation through an approach that is simultaneously sad, terrifying, and comforting. While many viewers and critics picked up on these elements, however, few noticed just how deep these themes were embedded in the story. A close examination of the characters reveals that they all, in fact, represent different...

There is something undeniably strange about what happens to people in a committed relationship. It's easy for some form of co-dependency to crop up, and it's troubling to find your sense of self become so mutable. For those of us watching two people become a couple, it can feel like watching some kind of transformation slowly occur; the person you used to know starts dressing and acting differently, and in some extreme cases, may even begin thinking differently. Although even the healthiest long-term relationship involves some version of codependency, it's more likely that it happens so gradually and imperceptibly that no one may notice it. However, what if that dependency were to be externalized? What if, for instance, the craving and need you may have to be with your person weren't just an emotional one, but a physical one?

That's essentially the premise of "Together," a new body horror comedy...

So, you survived The Substance. Congrats! But if your brain’s still buzzing with its trippy visuals and squirm-worthy themes of transformation, you’re probably itching for more horror that messes with your head—and maybe your stomach. Body horror is all about taking the human form and saying, “What if we… didn’t?” And when you add female leads, vibrant aesthetics, and stories packed with emotional (and sometimes literal) guts, the result is an unforgettable lineup of films that are as smart as they are …squishy.

But let’s get one thing straight—not every movie on this list is straight-up body horror. Some lean more into psychological horror, others tackle themes of identity and empowerment, and a few just want to paint the walls red. What they all have in common? Bold female protagonists, jaw-dropping visuals, and transformations that’ll leave you squirming in the best way possible.

Warfare's release date has been announced by A24, and it means that Alex Garland's new movie could repeat Civil War's success. After Ex Machina, Annihilation, Men, and Civil War, Garland co-wrote and co-directed his next project alongside Ray Mendoza, and the film is based on the former's experiences during the Iraq War, following a platoon of Navy SEALs on a mission through insurgent territory in 2006. The cast includes D'Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, Henrique Zaga, Joseph Quinn, and Charles Melton.

Per Deadline, A24 has set a nationwide theatrical release for Warfare on April 11. This is around the same time that Alex Garland's Civil War opened to much box office success for the studio in 2024.

28 Days Later marked the second collaboration for director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland after 2000's The Beach. While the latter isn't widely seen as a seminal work for either creative, the former certainly is. The 2002 zombie thriller stars Cillian Murphy as Jim, a survivor who attempts to traverse London in search of sanctuary following the outbreak of the Rage Virus in the U.K.

Boyle and Garland returned as executive producers for the sequel, 28 Weeks Later (2007), but Boyle is now back as director and Garland as screenwriter for the upcoming 28 Years Later, which marks a reunion after 18 years of working on their own projects. In those 18 years, Boyle directed movies like Slumdog Millionaire (2008), 127 Hours (2010), and Steve Jobs (2015), while Garland moved into directing with projects like Ex Machina (2014), Annihilation (2018), and Civil War (2024). Now, it's been revealed why the pair didn't work together for so long.

In recent weeks, much has been said about classic Fantastic Four villain Annihilus being the main villain in Marvel Television's planned Nova TV series.

It makes sense to introduce the Arthrosian and his Annihilation Wave there, though it does likely mean he won't start life off as an antagonist in The Fantastic Four franchise. Despite that, there's something very exciting about the prospect of Nova either adapting Annihilation or setting the stage for the event in a future cosmic MCU movie. 

Now, the latter looks more likely based on new intel shared by insider Daniel Richtman. 

He says that Annihilus won't be a one-off villain in Nova; instead, he's expected to appear in other projects as well, likely meaning the cosmic corner of the MCU just found a new big bad.

It's not outside the realm of possibility that Annihilus becomes the next Thanos, particularly if that Annihilation Wave makes its way to Earth.

Few directors can pull off heightened sci-fi like Alex Garland, except for the times he cannot. But this isn't about the movie Men, which, by the way, is somehow too complicated and dumb at the same time. In between the heights of Ex Machina and Annihilation exists a little show called Devs, which is just the right amount of over-complicated and dumb. Devs works so well because it is Garland at his most Garland, leaning into the sleek aesthetic and detached performances of its cast. It's highbrow television, not necessarily because of what it has to say, but more because of how it says it.

Aside from its science-fiction style, Devs is also an exploration of violence and its links to technology,...

After bringing Terminator: Resistance to fans back in 2019, Reef Entertainment are set to return with another Terminator game, thanks to the Australian Classification website. A listing has been discovered for an as-yet-unannounced title called Terminator 2D: No Fate, which is slated for release on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Details on the game are nominal for the moment (seeing as it’s unannounced), but it appears that Reef Entertainment will be developing and publishing Terminator 2D: No Fate, as opposed to having Teyon handling development duties (which they did for Terminator: Resistance).

If you haven’t played Terminator: Resistance, the game features an original story based on The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

The 28 Years Later trailer debuted with record-breaking numbers, and it served as a stark reminder of just how extensive Alex Garland's recent body of work is. The English screenwriter has evolved into one of the most well-respected writers in cinema since his feature debut with 28 Days Later, a film that many regard as one of the foundational horror movies of the last 30 years. While he was only involved in rewrites for the sequel, 28 Weeks Later, Garland will return to the 28 Days Later universe as the primary screenwriter for 28 Years Later and its in-development sequel.

Historically, Garland's writing and directing projects have been pretty well spread out, typically with at least two years in between movie releases that he's worked on. However, that cadence changed in 2024, as Garland suddenly became involved with a number of projects seemingly at the same time. Part of that is...

A24 recently released a trailer for Alex Garland’s new movie, ‘Warfare,’ which he co-directed with Ray Mendoza.

This film is a departure from the dystopian themes of Garland’s previous work, ‘Civil War,’ and instead transports viewers to the intense battlegrounds of 2006 Iraq. The film’s release is scheduled for 2025, although an exact date is yet to be confirmed.

Unlike his earlier project which reimagined a second American Civil War, Garland, alongside Mendoza who also served as the military supervisor on ‘Civil War,’ crafted a narrative set against the backdrop of real historical events.

‘Warfare’ offers an in-depth look at the experiences of an American Navy SEALs platoon stationed within an Iraqi family’s home, providing a strategic vantage point to oversee US movements through hostile territories.

The storytelling in ‘Warfare’ is unique as it unfolds in real-time, reflecting the personal memories of those who were there.

The film...

By the time director Alex Garland’s film Civil War (you can read our review Here) was released earlier this year, Garland was already working on another war movie called Warfare, co-directing it with Ray Mendoza, who served as the military supervisor for Civil War. Garland and Mendoza also wrote the screenplay together. While Civil War was a dystopian film that imagined a new Civil War breaking out in the United States, Warfare is set during a real war, the story taking viewers back to 2006 Iraq. A24 will be giving the film a theatrical release sometime in 2025, but even though a specific release date has not yet been announced, the first trailer for the film has been unveiled. You can watch it in the embed above.

Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory.

A24 has released the official trailer for Warfare, the new visceral cinematic event directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland. Mendoza was the military supervisor for Garland’s Civil War.

The movie stars D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, and Henrique Zaga, with Joseph Quinn and Charles Melton.

The film was written and directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, whose directing and writing credits also include Ex Machina, Annihilation and Men.

Garland previously wrote 28 Days Later, Sunshine, 28 Weeks Later,...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to introduce ‘Nova,’ with reports suggesting that Annihilus will serve as the primary antagonist.

Annihilus, known as ‘The Living Death That Walks,’ is a tyrant from the Negative Zone who commands the Annihilation Wave, posing significant threats to the universe.

His character has clashed with various Marvel heroes, including the Fantastic Four and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

DanielRPK shared on his Patreon that Annihilus is expected to be the villain in the upcoming ‘Nova’ series.

The inclusion of Annihilus hints at a storyline that could delve into cosmic conflicts, potentially drawing inspiration from the ‘Annihilation’ comic event, where Nova played a central role in combating Annihilus’s forces.

This development suggests a deeper exploration of Marvel’s cosmic universe in future MCU projects.

22 years ago, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland helped to kickstart a zombie movie renaissance with "28 Days Later," a movie that isn't technically a zombie film but, rather, a pandemic film. And sadly, 22 years later, that subgenre is bloodily ripe for the exploitin'.

On June 20, 2025, "28 Years Later" will pick up 18 years (in our own timeline) after the rage virus bedlam of Juan Carlos Fresndillo's 2007 sequel "28 Weeks Later." Lest you think this is some small affair, know that 2024 Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy is reprising his role as the once comatose Jim for the film. He'll be joined by the immensely talented likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Jack O'Connell, and Ralph Fiennes in the cast. As for the state of the world in "28 Years Later," per the premise the rage virus is once again spreading and, presumably, the aforementioned actors will be scrambling to keep from joining the ranks of the infected.

If you’ve been following DC’s ups and downs, you know the franchise hasn’t always had the smoothest ride (we’re being kind in our judgment here). It is, however, a different ballgame altogether now – with James Gunn and Peter Safran in charge. This era begins with Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, a slate comprising fresh iterations and adaptations of both movies and shows.

Unlike the fragmented approach of the past and countless Zack Snyder misfires, Chapter One looks to present a cohesive and interconnected universe. While characters like Robert Pattinson’s Batman and Todd Phillips’ Joker remain in their respective Elseworlds universes, this feels like the fresh start DC fans have been waiting for. Let’s take a closer look at each project in Chapter One, and see just how they are set to reshape the DC Universe.

The Kardashians, specifically the Kardashian-Jenner family, have been a constant member of the heavily scrutinized club. The group of women (Rob Kardashian excluded) enjoys a lot of limelight, some of it supportive and most of it critical. Kylie Jenner is one of the most popular faces of the family, apart from elder half-sister Kim Kardashian.
