Love Hurts (February 7) Credit – Universal Pictures

Love Hurts is an upcoming action comedy film directed by Jonathan Eusebio from a screenplay co-written by Matthew Murray, Josh Stoddard, and Luke Passmore. The upcoming film follows Marvin Gable, a hitman who left his life violence behind to become a successful realtor, but when his past comes knocking back, he must fight to protect his new life.

Released in 2009, director James Cameron’s film Avatar became the first movie to officially gross more than $2 billion. Then it took him thirteen years to get a sequel into theatres, so it wasn’t clear if the follow-up was going to be able to replicate that success. But then, sure enough, Avatar: The Way of Water also grossed more than $2 billion, paving the way for not only Avatar 3, or Avatar: Fire and Ash, (which is scheduled to reach theatres on December 19, 2025) but also Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 – which will be released on December 21, 2029 and December 19, 2031, respectively. The Sullys, the Na’vi family at the heart of these films, lost one of its members in Avatar: The Way of Water, and Cameron has let it be known that they will still be dealing with that grief in Avatar: Fire and Ash – and he has said that the film will show...

A couple of months, Avatar: Fire and Ash unveiled some pieces of concept art, and now Empire has shared a couple more pieces of concept art, which can be seen below.

First, we have a look at the Ash Clan. Cameron told Empire, “Varang (played by Oona Chaplin) is the leader of a...

The movie Virus did not officially scuttle across screens until 1999, but its biomechanical horrors first sprang to life a bit earlier. The road to screen adaptation was not straightforward for Navy Seal turned writer Chuck Pfarrer; he first pitched his high concept to Universal Pictures, only to then have it land at Dark Horse Comics. Upon the series’ success, Pfarrer tried his luck again with Universal. This time, though, producer Gale Anne Hurd was there to help get Virus optioned as well as find a potential director.

It was in 1995 that Universal first approached John Bruno about helming Virus. Initially, the visual effects artist was hesitant about directing a feature, and Pfarrer’s screenplay was a major factor in that uncertainty; he found it to be too dense and complicated for his liking. Yet after a talk with colleague and friend James Cameron, Bruno eventually accepted the offer, providing that...

We have a lot of huge movies heading our way this year, but 2025 will conclude with what's likely to be by far the biggest: James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash.

The threequel will once again explore new parts of Pandora as we move on from the ocean-loving Metkayina to instead focus on the considerably less friendly Ash Clan. Today, we have a first look at Oona Chaplin's Varang and the movie's "Wind Traders."

"Varang is the leader of a people who have gone through an incredible hardship. She's hardened by that," Cameron tells Empire Online (via SFFGazette.com). "She will do anything for them, even things that we would consider to be evil. One thing we wanted to do in this film is not be black-and-white simplistic. Or blue-and-pink simplistic."

"We’re trying to evolve beyond the ‘all humans are bad, all Na’vi are good’ paradigm," he...

Focus Features has released a brand new poster for Last Breath, in theaters February 28th.

Starring Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, Finn Cole and Cliff Curtis, the film is the heart-pounding story that follows seasoned deep-sea divers as they battle the raging elements to rescue their crewmate trapped hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface.

In case you missed the effective first trailer, watch it below.

War films continue to be one of the most popular genres in cinematic history, producing epic films that capture the very best and worst of humanity. Many films about war focus on the most significant conflicts, like World Wars I and II and the Vietnam War, but some of the best war films of all time shed a spotlight on some lesser-known wars that are just as impactful and compelling. These films show the harrowing atrocities committed around the globe and educate viewers on battles and wars they may know very little about.

Films such as The Killing Fields showcase the brutal realities of the Cambodian Civil War and genocide, offering an unflinching look into one of Asia's most gruesome conflicts in a war film that is still as impressive today. Classics like Waltz with Bashir examine the Lebanon War that started in 1982 in a unique format, with a graphic...

Hollywood owes much of its magic and excitement to filmmakers like James Cameron. Renowned for his groundbreaking films such as The Terminator, Aliens, Titanic, and Avatar, Cameron has shaped modern cinema like few others. His visionary approach to storytelling and technical brilliance make him a dream collaborator for many actors.

Many actors dream of working with a director of his caliber, but not everyone gets the chance. However, it seems that Josh Brolin and James Cameron may never team up after a casting dispute during Avatar: The Way of Water production.

What Went Wrong Between Josh Brolin and James Cameron

Josh Brolin, widely recognized for his role as Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, is one of the most talented actors in Hollywood.

Josh Brolin recalls turning down a role in Avatar: The Way of Water, and he remembers hearing that James Cameron didn't take kindly to the rejection. After Avatar became a smash hit in 2009, Cameron returned to the world of Pandora with a sequel in 2022, continuing the story of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family. The Avatar: The Way of Water cast brings back a number of familiar faces and introduces many new characters, but Brolin was not among them, with the actor revealing back in 2017 that he declined an offer to appear in the sequel.

During a recent appearance on the In Depth with Graham Bensinger podcast, Brolin is asked about his experience of turning down a role in Avatar: The Way of Water. Though the actor admits that he doesn't know Cameron very well and can't be sure of his reaction, he does reveal that he heard that the director wasn't pleased.

Gold Coast, Australia: The Asia Pacific Screen Academy in strategic partnership with Aw Jewel welcomes its International Jury members, nominees and guests from across the globe to the Gold Coast for the 17th Asia Pacific Screen Awards. The prestigious international film event honours the cinematic excellence of 78 countries and areas of the Asia Pacific and films that best reflect their cultural origins and the diversity of the vast region.

Film industry guests from Australia, Cambodia, Georgia, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines, People’s Republic of China, Singapore, Thailand, Türkiye, and the USA are confirmed to participate in the 6th Asia Pacific Screen Forum, to be held from 27 to 30 November.

The cast of The Meg was a big reason for the shark movie's box office success when it was released back in 2018. A loose adaptation of the book, Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror by Steve Alten, the film follows a group of scientists who encounter a 75-foot-long Megalodon shark while on a rescue mission to save a trapped research station called the Mana. Posing a threat to both the scientists and the people on land, Jason Statham's Jonas Taylor and his team must face off against this gigantic beast in a confrontation that is equally silly and entertaining.

At the time, The Meg was the most expensive shark movie ever made (via THR). While the film received mixed reviews, that investment paid off as it earned $529 million at the box office (via Box Office Mojo), a large part of that coming China, where the film is most popular.

Sometime in the 2000s, comedian Eddie Murphy began experiencing a career slump that, quite sadly, would remain with him for years. Ron Underwood's 2002 sci-fi comedy "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" was a notorious bomb, making only $7.1 million on a $100 million budget. Murphy's cinematic update of "I Spy" from the same year also lost money, and Murphy turned to making mediocre but popular kiddie flicks like "The Haunted Mansion" and "Daddy Day Care" to make ends meet.

In 2006, Murphy received an Academy Award nomination for his performance in "Dreamgirls," but he immediately chased it with the universally hated "Norbit" only months later. "Norbit" made money, but no one seemed to like it. Some have even said that the presence of "Norbit" in theaters harmed Murphy's chance of winning an Oscar that year. He lost to Alan Arkin in "Little Miss Sunshine."

Murphy's next few films were all panned by critics,...

Netflix is often accused of canceling popular shows before their time. One of the biggest complaints is that the streaming service often ends a show after three seasons, even if there is more story to tell. However, one recent show that premiered in 2024 has already been canceled after just one season. This is even despite it having a major star in the lead role.

Here is what show was canceled and what you need to know.

Netflix Cancels Fan-Favorite Series

While streaming services have been great in many aspects, especially in terms of creative freedom, sometimes, these services can be a little too eager to cancel shows before they truly have the chance to be fleshed out. This is exactly what happened recently with a show that people got hooked on.

Kaos is a British dark comedy fantasy series that premiered on Netflix on August 29, 2024. The series has some big names in the cast,...

James Cameron showed up at D23 Brazil (by video) earlier today to confirm that Avatar: Fire & Ash, the third instalment in the hit franchise, is now officially in post-production.

Five gorgeous pieces of concept art have since been released (via SFFGazette.com), offering a better idea of what to expect from the new corners of Pandora we'll explore in this next chapter of the filmmaker's epic sci-fi saga.

Cameron mentioned that the Ash People are a reflection of the worst side of N'avi, suggesting he pulled inspiration from the reality when he noted, "We have a lot of anger and a lot of rage in the world we live in right now."

The threequel's other newly introduced N'avi tribe will be nomadic and travel through the air; however, the Ash People "were destroyed by volcanic eruptions, so they resent nature and everything the forest Na'vi preach."

Avatar: Fire and Ash...

Avatar: Fire and Ash is the much-anticipated third installment in James Cameron’s epic science fiction saga. After the groundbreaking success of Avatar (2009) and Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), Cameron, alongside producer Jon Landau, is set to bring audiences back to Pandora for a continuation of this visually and thematically rich story. Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming film, from release date and cast to plot insights and production details.

La plataforma de streaming no renueva la serie de mitología griega con giro contemporáneo protagonizada por Jeff Goldblum. © Netflix

De acuerdo con Variety, la serie Kaos, que se estrenó a finales de agosto, ha sido cancelada después de una sola temporada en Netflix.

Se trata de un drama del creador de The End of the F***ing World, Charlie Covell, que toma todo lo que sabemos sobre la mitología griega y le da un giro contemporáneo.

En Kaos, Zeus lleva mucho tiempo disfrutando de su poder como rey de los dioses. Pero una mañana se despierta y se descubre una arruga en la frente. La neurosis se apodera de él y lo conduce hacia un camino de peligro y paranoia. Zeus cree que su declive está cerca pues empieza a ver signos de decadencia por todas partes. Y hace bien en preocuparse, porque Prometeo, antiguo amigo y ahora prisionero de Zeus,...

The Fates have spoken: Kaos has been cancelled after just one season at Netflix, TVLine has confirmed.

On Thursday, series creator Charlie Covell (who also wrote the U.K. series The End of the F***ing World) said he was “gutted” by the news that Kaos would not return for Season 2, urging fans to keep the show in the TV conversation despite its cancellation.

Jeff Goldblum probably isn’t smiling today. Netflix has cancelled Kaos after one season. The series premiered on the streaming service in August after being ordered in 2018.

Goldblum, Janet McTeer, David Thewlis, Rakie Ayola, Cliff Curtis, Stephen Dillane, Aurora Perrineau, Nabhaan Rizwan, Killian Scott, Misia Butler, Stanley Townsend, and Leila Farzad star in this modern and comedic take on Greek mythology, in which Greek god Zeus (Goldblum) fears he is losing power.

Bill Hader, a veteran in the movie industry, had heaps to say when he decided to end his show, Barry, after four seasons. And after what recently happened to Kaos, everything seems to make sense about how show business works and how sometimes good things don’t last.

Generally, it’s tough to stay afloat in the industry. Competition heightens almost every day, with new content being released for fans to indulge in. Sometimes, even the best producers, directors, and actors have to give up on their projects despite their wishes to continue with them.

Netflix cancels Jeff Goldblum’s Kaos after a single season

Despite the good verbal reviews online, numbers in viewership matter a lot in show business. The news about Kaos ending after one season was first revealed by Aurora Perrineau, who acts as Eurydice on the show.

Janet McTeer...

Netflix has decided against making another series of Kaos, its new show starring Jeff Goldblum. More on it being cancelled here.

Before she created Kaos, which was revently released on Netflix, Charlie Covell wrote several terrific shows including Truelove, a dark drama for Channel 4 with a brilliant ensemble cast including Lindsay Duncan and Clarke Peters, and The End Of The F***ing World, about a teenager who believes himself to be a psychopath, which is now on Netflix and is well worth watching.

The synopsis for Kaos reads as follows:

Zeus (Jeff Goldblum) has long enjoyed his status as King of The Gods. Until he wakes up and discovers a wrinkle on his forehead. Neurosis sets in, setting him off on a dangerous, paranoid path. Zeus becomes convinced his fall is coming – and starts to see signs of it everywhere. Zeus’ once reliable brother, Hades (David Thewlis), the God of the Underworld,...

We had a feeling that this announcement was coming after star Aurora Perrineau shared and then deleted a cryptic social media post late last night, and Variety has now confirmed that Netflix has cancelled Kaos after a single season.

The black comedy drama, which stars Jeff Goldblum as the all-powerful King of the Gods, Zeus, only premiered on the streamer in late August. Though reviews were mostly positive (76% on Rotten Tomatoes), the 8-episode series arrived without much fanfare.

Though the show's viewership numbers were nothing special, they were far from disastrous.

Kaos appeared in Netflix’s top 10 charts for English-language series in each of its first four weeks on the streamer, topping out at No. 3 for the week of Sept. 2-8. It earned 14.9 million views (measured by total viewing time divided by running time) over those weeks.

Perrineau has since shared the following.

Thanks for the journey #Kaos ⚡️ pic.twitter.

Netflix viewers have descended into Kaos after it was announced that the well-received and deeply ambitious series was canceled after just one season. Written and created by The End of the F***ing World’s Charlie Covell, the eight-part comedy was released on the streaming platform in late August. In a darkly humorous reimagining of Greek mythology, six humans learned that they are parts of an ancient prophecy, clashing with Greek Gods. The star-studded cast included Jeff Goldblum as Zeus (in a tracksuit), Janet McTeer as Queen Hera, Nabhaan Rizwan as their rebellious son Dionysus, Aurora Perrineau as Eurydice, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, David Thewlis as Hades, Rakie Ayola as Persephone, Killian Scott as Orpheus, Debi Mazar as Medusa, Billie Piper as Cassandra, Stephen Dillane as Prometheus, Steven Dillane, and Fady Elsayed. And yet, just two months after its premiere, the cancellation came on Tuesday, October 8. Perrineau initially shared the ungodly...

Tell me if you've heard this one before: barely a month after a new show premiered its first season on Netflix, the streamer has decided to unceremoniously cancel it and chuck it in the bin. In this case, the show is Kaos, a series about Greek mythology set in the modern day, with characters like Zeus (Jeff Goldblum) and Hera (Janet McTeer) lording over Greece while mere humans scramble to worship them. Or at least that's what the humans are supposed to do; Kaos is all about what happens when that system goes off the rails, thanks in no small part to an unhealthy dose of paranoia and broken promises from the gods in charge.

Variety reports that Netfix has decided not to renew Kaos for a second season. It debuted on the platform on August 29, which means this decision comes just over five weeks later. That's a pretty short...

Netflix has decided not to return to Mount Olympus, canceling its series Kaos after a single season.

The decision comes about six weeks after the dark comedy, based on Greek and Roman mythology and created by Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World), made its debut on the streamer. Kaos appeared in Netflix’s top 10 charts for English-language series in each of its first four weeks, topping out at No. 3 for the week of Sept. 2-8. It earned 14.9 million views (measured by total viewing time divided by running time) over those weeks, a middling number by the streamer’s standards.

In the United States, the show had 3.34 million views as of Sept. 8, according to Nielsen’s streaming ratings (viewing totals for subsequent weeks aren’t yet available).

Netflix continues to clean house as the streamer evaluates which shows they opt to continue making. Earlier, That 90s Show fell victim to cancellation. Now, according to Deadline, Netflix has decided not to renew the Jeff Goldblum high-concept series, Kaos. It had been confirmed by one of the show’s stars, Aurora Perrineau, in a now-deleted Instagram post.

In the deleted post, Perrineau said, “Well… this one hurts. I find explaining how I’m feeling to be really difficult, but I’ll try. When I started auditioning for this show, I knew it was special, mainly due to the fact that Charlie Covell’s scripts resonated with me in a way most things hadn’t. I knew all of these people, and I loved them all — every flaw, everything.”

She would conclude by saying, “Everyone was brilliant and uniquely themselves. Every performance surprised and excited me. I can’t believe...

“Kaos” will no longer reign on Netflix. The streamer has canceled the Greek mythology series, TheWrap has learned. The show hailed from “The End of the F***king World” creator Charlie Covell and put a modern twist on Greek mythology – three humans contend with the corrupt gods as they discover their connection to one another and an overarching prophecy.

Jeff Goldblum played Zeus in the show with Janet McTeer as Hera, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, David Thewlis as Hades, Debi Mazar as Medusa and Stephen Dillane as Prometheus.

The ensemble also included Aurora Perrineau, Leila Farzad, Suzy Eddie Izzard and Rakie Ayola. “Kaos” premiered on Aug. 29, so this is a pretty swift cancellation from Netflix. The show debuted with only 3.4 million views during its first week of release, ticked up to 5.9 million views in its second week and then dipped back down to 3.4 million on its third week.

This is...

Netflix has cancelled Kaos starring Jeff Goldblum after only a month. Created by Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World), the series features Goldblum in the lead role as Zeus with a story that chronicles the fallout of Zeus' decision to imprison Prometheus (Stephen Dillane). The show's eight-episode season 1 hit the streamer on August 29, with supporting Kaos cast members including David Thewlis as Hades, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, Janet McTeer as Hera, and Aurora Perrineau as Eurydice, aka Riddy.

Variety now reports that Kaos has been cancelled after just over a month of availability on Netflix. Representatives from the streamer have yet to comment on the cancellation, but the decision follows the show spending four weeks in the Netflix top 10. Despite charting, the show still struggled to break through, peaking at the number three spot on the English language TV chart in its second week with 5.9 million views.

Perrineau...

Kaos will not continue to reign.

Netflix has canceled the Jeff Goldblum-fronted Greek mythology comedy after one season. Aurora Perrineau, one of the stars of Kaos, appeared to confirm the cancellation in a now-deleted Instagram post. Deadline understands the news is legitimate. Netflix has been contacted for comment.

Kaos was first greenlit in 2018 after being created by Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World). The series was produced by Sister, the UK drama powerhouse, and Deadline understands that preparations were well underway for a second season.

Goldblum stars in Kaos as Zeus, who begins to fear his reign is ending as he spots a wrinkle on his forehead, making him paranoid and spiteful toward his devotees. Meanwhile, three mortals set off on a journey to fulfill their identical prophecies.

Season 1 was ambitious in scale and boasted an ensemble cast that included Janet McTeer as Hera,...

“Kaos,” the Greek mythology comedy series that premiered in late August, has been canceled at Netflix, Variety has learned.

The show premiered on August 29 and starred Jeff Goldblum as the all mighty Zeus, albeit in a more whimsical and insecure portrayal. In a modern-day setting, Zeus has chained up Prometheus after interfering his with godly rule over humanity. Prometheus then attempts to overthrow Zeus with the help of three humans, Eurydice, Ariadne and Caeneus. Charlie Covell (“The End of the F***ing World”) wrote the entire eight-episode series.

The cast also included Janet McTeer as Hera, Aurora Perrineau as Eurydice, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, David Thewlis as Hades, Rakie Ayola as Persephone, Killian Scott as Orpheus, Leila Farzad as Ariadne, Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus, Debi Mazar as Medusa, Stephen Dillane as Prometheus, Misia Butler as Caeneus, Mat Fraser as Daedalus, Stanley Townsend as Minos, Billie Piper as Cassandra, Suzy Eddie Izzard as Lachesis,...

The best comedy TV shows of 2024 are a combination of new gems and follow-up seasons of existing favorites. Most comedies embody a hyphenated genre, merging elements of drama, action, music, sport, and even documentary with humor. End-of-year awards like the Emmys have a category problem, leaving many viewers wondering, "Wait, that was a comedy?" or "Surely, that was too dark to be a comedy." While these blurred lines also make it harder to demarcate the genre, they mostly make comedies all the more enjoyable.

The best comedies can evoke amusement alongside fear, dismay, and shock, among other emotions. Among the best comedy TV shows of 2023, for instance, the debut of the inventive murder mystery comedy Poker Face and the impossible-to-define thriller comedy Beef, the farewell to the classic feel-good comedy Ted Lasso, and the continued excellence of comedy dramas like The Bear, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and The Great.

Netflix, of course, is the king of exclusive streaming content, with new series from all over the world rolling out every week.

Greek mythology shows have been popular across various genres for decades, with the epic myths and legends of the ancient civilization recreated for the small screen, or even simply inspiring new stories for the modern era. Greek mythology is regularly adapted for the small screen due to how poetic, tragic, and philosophical it can be. That has allowed it to be relatable for fans of everything from romantic stories to high drama to superhero tales.

Season 1 of Netflix's Kaos came to a satisfying conclusion while also leaving enough tantalizing questions and mysteries for a potential season 2. The prophecy that Zeus (Jeff Goldblum) feared and tried to prevent from happening takes shape in the Kaos season 1 ending, with the prophecy's three humans in positions of power. Eurydice (Aurora Perrineau) is now a prophet who has returned to Earth after being dead in the Underworld.

Perrineau's character will spread the horrifying truth about the gods and the Underworld with the help of Ariadne (Leila Farzad), who has become the leader of Crete. The prophecy's trio is completed with Caeneus, who can renew souls in the Underworld's Nothing. Zeus and his family are now the most vulnerable they have been since they became gods in the first place, as the rebellion against them grows stronger with the newfound power that Riddy,...

Denzel Washington has made quite a few action movies over the course of his acting career, and they all range in strength. Denzel Washington is one of the most talented working actors in Hollywood, and as such, he's played all types of roles. From the soaring drama of The Tragedy of Macbeth to the comedy of Carbon Copy, Washington can handle almost any type of character. One genre he's been particularly prolific in, however, is action, and he has played quite a few heroes and villains over the years.

Ranking Denzel Washington's action heroes by strength isn't an entirely straightforward task. Many of Washington's best action movies had him play characters that weren't traditional action heroes, yet they displayed quite a bit of strength. Physical strength, then, isn't enough to make a character strong, and other factors like morals, bravery, and convictions have to be taken into consideration too. With that in mind,...

By the power of Jeff Goldblum, Kaos might just reign once again.

Although Netflix has yet to renew the series for Season 2, creator Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World) said the streaming platform has “been very supportive” of the show, which puts a contemporary spin on the classic tales of Greek mythology.

“I think anything is possible,” Covell told Cosmopolitan UK. “My dream was three seasons. I’ve got many ideas and a strong sense of what I’d want to do with it.”

They added about the potential for a sophomore season, “There’s definitely more. I also didn’t want to do an ending that was a total cliffhanger. I hope that it feels satisfying as a season one in its own right, and there’s always hope for the more. Because I really would love to do more and work with those actors and that team.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan UK, Covell was asked about the chances of Kaos season 2. The show creator, writer, and executive producer mentioned his hope that the first season could be satisfying in its own right.
