In the late 1980s, J.J. Perry, director of “The Killer’s Game”, left his military service with the U.S. Army and relocated to Los Angeles. Soon after, he formed a close friendship with Chad Stahelski, who would later collaborate on the film “John Wick”. As stuntmen, fight choreographers, and stunt coordinators, they honed their skills together. When Stahelski and his previous partner, David Leitch, stepped into director roles for “John Wick”, Perry began considering the possibility of following in their footsteps.

Recently premiered in cinemas, M. Night Shyamalan’s “Trap” does not actually offer an unexpected ending as one might anticipate from the director known for his intricate plot twists since “The Sixth Sense.” Instead, this film follows a serial killer attempting to escape authorities during a concert at a stadium, deviating from Shyamalan’s typical storytelling pattern. It will be intriguing to observe if this shift in direction continues in his upcoming work.

Contrary to the high anticipation for the latest live-action Transformers film series, the initial animated Transformers movie, titled The Transformers: The Movie, was met with little excitement when it debuted in the summer of 1986. Despite its run in theaters, this movie, which only managed to earn around $6 million at the box office, failed both commercially and critically.

Four days following the release of the second half of “Emily in Paris” Season 4, Netflix confirmed that the popular show will continue with Season 5, featuring a fresh backdrop. The series stars Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, an ambitious marketing executive who relocates to Paris to offer an American perspective to a French marketing firm. The storyline primarily revolves around Emily adapting from her life in America to her new existence in France, forming friendships and romantic relationships in her adopted city. Darren Star, the creator of “Sex and the City,” is responsible for creating “Emily in Paris.” Since its debut on Netflix, it has been a major ratings success.

In Matt Reeves’ 2022 film “The Batman,” Colin Farrell’s portrayal of Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot (also known as the Penguin) was particularly compelling, and it would have been fascinating to delve deeper into his character. Fortunately, Hollywood seems to have recognized this potential, as evidenced by HBO’s upcoming DC spin-off series “The Penguin,” created by Lauren LeFranc. This show promises a complex and engaging examination of the Penguin within the Batman universe that can be enjoyed even without prior knowledge of the characters or storyline.
