The “Dune” universe is expanding once more.
After the massively successful release of “Dune: Part Two” and the teasing of a third film written and directed by Denis Villeneuve, the literary franchise has landed a TV adaptation with “Dune: Prophecy.” The Max series is inspired by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson’s novel “Sisterhood of Dune” — a teaser was revealed during the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront presentation, with the six-episode season set to debut this fall on streamer Max.
The official synopsis reads: From the expansive universe of ‘Dune,’ created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), “Dune: Prophecy” follows two Harkonnen sisters (Emily Watson and Olivia Williams) as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.

There’s a new villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ralph Ineson has been cast in the role of Galactus in the rebooted Fantastic Four film. The actor is the newest addition to the already star-studded lineup featuring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. The Marvel fans could not get any more excited at the news because he is one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel comic book universe.

Even though fans are excited to witness the character’s debut, the cosmic being can overpower the strongest of heroes with ease. As a result, his addition would make him a bigger threat than any other villain. However, the debut can turn into a major disaster as a scooper has shed some light on the potential plot of the film, and fans are not delighted with it.

"The Fugitive" ran for four seasons on ABC from 1963 to 1967. The series followed Dr. Richard Kimble (David Janssen), a (you guessed it) fugitive accused of murdering his wife. Pursued across the country by lawman Philip Gerard (Barry Morse), he tries to prove his innocence by finding the real killer.
On one hand, "The Fugitive" is as episodic as you'd expect from a 1960s TV show. Each episode features Kimble in a different town with a new problem to solve. The backstory is also told via title sequence; the first episode, "Fear in a Desert City," is just another adventure for Kimble, not the murder, trial, and Kimble's escape the way it would be today. However, there's also some serialization with the story threads of Gerard hunting Kimble and Kimble hunting the real murderer, a one-armed man (Bill Raisch). These reach their conclusion in the finale, "The Judgment."

Spaceman is now streaming on Netflix.
Johan Rench, perhaps best known for directing the groundbreaking HBO series Chernobyl, leaves behind the world of historical reality in exchange for one of futuristic endeavors. Spaceman, which stars Adam Sandler in a role unlike anything he’s attempted before, uses the science-fiction genre to explore the heart-wrenching affects of loss and regret in the realms of love. It’s reminiscent of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in that regard, as well as for casting a traditionally comedic actor in the lead. I had the opportunity to speak with Renck about his latest project, an experience that was as pleasant as it was insightful.

Helldivers 2 First Balance Patch is Dropping in, and it Looks Like Some Meta-Fans are in for a Shock
Despite being one of the biggest entries of the year, Helldivers 2 still holds scope for improvement. Even if it doesn’t, developers are likely to make the experience smoother with upcoming updates in what has become a popular multiplayer game in just a few weeks of launch. Fans have even put forth suggestions that may raise it to the ranks of the Game of the Year.
Over 450K players were playing the game concurrently at its peak. This shows players out there aren’t getting enough of it. In fact, the craze for the game has caused a sort of jam in its server that coerced the developers to up its capacity to 800K players for seamless transitions. And this is just the beginning, there is more to come with devs already working on its first balance patch note.

With so many Terminids and Automatons invading planets in Helldivers 2, every player needs that one weapon that sends the enemy limbs flying. They don’t have to scratch their heads as the game’s armory comes with only 37 weapons, some capable of bringing total chaos to the battlefield.
Among them, the Sg-225 Breaker shotgun remains the players’ favorite as it inflicts damage no enemy can recover from. And its counterpart, Sg-225Ie literally feels like burning firecrackers, making it another beast that players would consider taking in the battlefield against giant enemies. However, the developers appear to have been busy making some amends to this absolute beast.

Malevolent Creek, or as it has gained the title from Helldiver 2 players, “space Vietnam” has succumbed to Automatons, the game’s robotic forces. It didn’t happen by chance though, everything was planned. And like a dungeon master, someone was pulling the strings behind the galactic war. For the first time, players saw a retreat order in the game.
The game has been out for weeks and has already raised the server capacity after realizing how long the queue of players has been until now. Over 100K concurrent players are active in the game at the time of writing with the game reaching its all-time peak at 458K recently. Games like GTA V and Starfield have already fallen victim to it and god knows how many are there in the line.

Adam Sandler found it hard to remove his comedic side in 'Spaceman'.The 57-year-old actor stars in the new Netflix film as an astronaut who finds friendship with a giant extraterrestrial spider as his marriage falls apart on Earth and explained how it was challenging to go against his usual approach to satisfy director Johan Renck.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the movie's Los Angeles premiere on Monday (26.02.24), Adam said: "I did my best. He didn't want me sounding like me, he didn't want me making faces. It was a difficult process."Johan decided to cast the 'Happy Gilmore' actor after a meeting and thinks that Adam's fearlessness made him more suited to the part in the picture – which also features Carey Mulligan and Paul Dano - than a regular actor.The Swedish filmmaker explained: "I really like comedians in serious roles because I do think there's...

Carey Mulligan says she’d love to star in a rom-com with Adam Sandler following their work together in the new Johan Renck-directed Netflix drama “Spaceman.”
“The Wedding Singer’ is one of my favorite movies, ‘50 First Dates,’ everything he’s done with Jennifer Aniston, I am there for it,” Mulligan told me at the “Spaceman” premiere Monday night at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. “We have to do a rom-com 100 percent!”
And she’s already got the pitch – sort of: “We have to pick the location first where we want to have a really nice holiday and then build the story around that.”
Sandler stars in “Spaceman” as an astronaut on a solo, year-long mission in space. As he comes to realize that his marriage is in trouble (Mulligan plays his wife), he also starts seeing and talking to a giant spider (voiced by Paul Dano) that suddenly appears on his ship.

The actor is mainly known for his work in the comedy genre, especially romcoms which make us all giddy on the inside. Sure, the critics are not huge fans of Adam Sandler’s movies, but we as an audience have to agree that the films can be wholesome to watch!

We love Adam "The Sandman" Sandler, don't we, folks? Sandler has been a staple of the screen for decades now, and while he tends to gravitate towards comedy, every now and then he'll turn out a dramatic role to remind us that he's actually a pretty good actor. Sandler's latest serious part is in the upcoming Netflix film "Spaceman," where he plays a very sad astronaut going through a breakup with his pregnant wife, played by Carey Mulligan. What's a sad spaceman to do? Well, in "Spaceman," Sandler's sad-sack cosmonaut gets some help from — are you ready for this? — a giant talking spider, voiced by Paul Dano. The movies are back!

Decluttering has become an industry in itself in recent years, with Hoarders prompting TV viewers to recoil in shock at the sight of dwellings stacked to the brim with stuff and Marie Kondo teaching readers The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Let there never be a doubt that a buck can be made off human slovenliness. But even with this glut there’s a place for The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, the new Peacock series based on Margareta Magnusson’s book of the same name. With a big heart,...

German supermodel Heidi Klum seems to have had a hot Easter holiday as she posed wearing nothing but a black star-printed bikini bottom and fluffy bunny ears for an on-theme picture by the pool.
Klum shared the sultry snap to her Instagram, with the caption “ ,” but kept the number of likes hidden and the comments section off.
