Among the eagerly anticipated Stephen King movie adaptations, I’m particularly looking forward to Edgar Wright’s reimagining of “The Running Man.” This ’80s action flick made for a gripping watch, and I share Glen Powell’s enthusiasm about his role in it. With production now underway, the film has been confirmed as a 2025 release, slated for November 21, 2025. However, what really gets me pumped is the recent addition to the cast.

In the year 2024, the rapid progression of artificial intelligence, climate change, and wealth disparity raises profound existential questions, as posed by tech pioneer and ex-Microsoft CEO Bill Gates in Netflix’s latest docuseries titled “What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates”. This 5-part documentary was launched on the platform on September 18, 2024, and delves into a variety of topics, including the potential dangers posed by AI, the expanding income inequality gap, strategies for mitigating climate change, and other critical issues that jeopardize human life and well-being.

Paramount Pictures has announced new movie premiere dates up until the year 2025, with titles such as “The Running Man”, “The Naked Gun”, and “The Smurfs” included in this schedule. The year 2025 is already packed with anticipated films from popular franchises like Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), DC Universe (DCU), Avatar, Mission: Impossible, John Wick, Jurassic World, The Conjuring, and more all scheduled to debut. According to Variety, Paramount Pictures has added additional release dates to their 2025 lineup, so movie enthusiasts should begin planning accordingly.

The third installment of Damien Leone’s “Terrifier” series is making waves critically, but not everyone is on board. Some viewers who attended the U.K. premiere left the theater during the opening scene due to the graphic violence, a common response to Leone’s boundary-testing gore. To make matters worse, France has prohibited anyone under 18 from watching the holiday slasher film in cinemas. This isn’t unfamiliar territory for the Philadelphia native, as his $250,000 budgeted “Terrifier 2” (2022) stirred up similar controversy on its way to becoming an unanticipated critical and financial success, earning $15.7 million at the global box office.
