Social housing has been completely eliminated forcing the working class into “The Kitchen.” While the bulk of the two-minute trailer focuses on the new universe scripted by Kaluuya and Joe Murtagh (“The Woman in the Wall”), we do get some sense of the main characters.

We’re sorry to report MAX series “Warrior” will not return for a fourth season. The previous three seasons of the show are headed to Netflix starting in the new year.

Actor Christopher Abbott (“Poor Things”) will lead Leigh Whannell’s (“The Invisible Man”) upcoming movie, “Wolf Man.” The past three years of production has not only shifted lead actors, but directors as well. Ryan Gosling was originally set to star, but has stepped back to an executive producer role for undisclosed reasons. [Though we doubt it was him bringing a lack of Kenergy to the part.] While Whannell was the first director attached to this project, he was replaced by Derek Cianfrance in 2021, only to come back on board.  Even with all the pieces coming together, Blumhouse and Universal are…

Game dev company Fntastic has announced it will be closing its doors mere days after the problematic early access launch of “The Day Before.” This is just the latest development in a seemingly never-ending list of issues surrounding the video game.  “Today, we announce the closure of Fntastic studio,” the company posted in a statement on X (formally Twitter). “Unfortunately, The Day Before has failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue.

Earlier this year, Paramount+ gave the classic NBC sitcom “Frasier” a long-awaited reboot. One of the first things fans noticed was the absence of Niles Crane (David Hyde Pierce), younger brother to Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer). While Pierce was extended an offer to return, he chose not to.  “I never really wanted to go back,” Pierce told the Los Angeles Times about this decision. “It’s not like I said, ‘Oh, I don’t ever want to do that again.’ I loved every moment. It was that I wanted to do other things.” “When we got into real talks about the reboot,…
