Brec Bassinger shares favourite death sequence in Final Destination franchise
Bassinger plays a key role in this cursed family tree, caught in a web of inevitable doom. But despite being a long-time fan of the series, she wasn't quite prepared for the sheer scale of the production. 'I was not prepared or did not know how big the production was,' she recalls. 'Our sets were massive. They built a whole skyview restaurant on a soundstage. I remember just walking in and seeing the size and grandness of the sets — I had never experienced that before.'advertisementThough 'Final Destination' films are known for their creative, chain-reaction deaths, Bassinger says the fear in this one is more grounded — precisely because it hinges on the universal, inescapable truth of mortality.'That's the biggest draw of fear with this particular franchise,' she says. 'A lot of horror films are like, 'Ah, ghosts, they're not going to mess with me.' But Death is something we can't cheat. We can't escape it. So, it's hard to disconnect from the fear this movie brings.'She still remembers the one death scene from the franchise that left an indellible impression. 'The gymnastics scene,' she says without hesitation. 'I've had clips of that pop up on my TikTok and Instagram. I guess it's because I watched it once all the way through, so now it pops up all the time. And every time I see it, I'm like 'ugh', it's scarred me.'Filming 'Bloodlines' came with its own high-stakes moments too. 'In the film it's half a second. You blink, you miss it,' she says. 'But on set, it was so scary to me. They blow fire at this guy who's already on fire, and I had to duck behind the bar. I was like, what if I duck at the wrong time? And they were like, 'Just don't duck at the wrong time.' So, I'm no longer acting — I'm genuinely just scared for my life.'advertisementShe adds, 'With the fire stuff, we only wanted to do one take because they were actually setting people on fire. I felt this pressure to get it perfect — not only to not get burnt, but also because this guy was having to be set on fire. So, I'm really proud of that moment.'When asked who she'd want to come back to as if she had to be reborn in the 'Final Destination' universe, she immediately responds, 'Totally biased, but I'm gonna say Ali Larter. Just because I think she's such a boss, cool woman. So, I choose her.'With a legacy cast that includes Tony Todd, and a fresh cast led by Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Owen Patrick Joyner, and Richard Harmon, 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' reboots the franchise with emotional depth, high-concept horror, and plenty of spectacles.Must Watch

Marvel's Wolverine PS5: Everything you need to know
Insomniac Games is developing Marvel's Wolverine, a PlayStation 5 exclusive, promising a mature, character-driven narrative centered on James "Logan" Howlett. While a release date remains unconfirmed, industry speculation suggests 2026 or later, despite active development. The game will feature an original story drawing from Wolverine's comic book mythology, with Madripoor as a key location. Marvel's Wolverine is a highly anticipated action-adventure game that has yet to be released. The video game is being developed by Insomniac Games and will be published by Sony Interactive Entertainment exclusively for PlayStation 5. This standalone title shows how the Marvel universe has expanded, especially after the success of its Spider-Man series. Additionally, the developers have promised to deliver a masterpiece of all time with a mature, character-driven story that will center around the history of James "Logan" Howlett, better known as Wolverine. As of now there is not much information available about the game, but there are a few official announcements made by the developers and some analysis from the teasers. Marvel's Wolverine - PlayStation Showcase 2021: Announcement Teaser Trailer | PS5 What is the release date of the Wolverine PS5 game? As of August 2025, Marvel's Wolverine does not have a confirmed release date or even a specific release window. The developers first announced the game back in September 2021, and it was described as being in "very early development" at that time. However, the recent development indicates that the production of the game is ramping up, and there is also a shift of key team members from Spider-Man 2 to this project. There was also an official statement made by Insomniac Games in the month of April 2025 that reaffirmed that active development is underway but that news will be shared only when the studio is ready. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Weather Tomorrow havadurumu Learn More Undo The industry assumptions, which were potentially fuelled by the unfortunate 2023 data breach, suggest that a release is unlikely before 2026. Hopes remain that a release window might be announced at a future event like Gamescom 2025. What is the storyline of Marvel's Wolverine? Marvel's Wolverine will remain an original, self-contained narrative that will purely run from the character's extensive comic book mythology. From the recent trailer release, we get to know that Madripoor will be a key location of the game. The narrative of the story is expected to have a "mature tone" and will be focused on Logan's past, with widespread speculation that the infamous Weapon X program—where his skeleton was bonded with indestructible adamantium—will be the central plot of the story. Image via Insomniac Games All confirmed characters in Marvel's Wolverine As of now there is no official confirmation upon the characters of the game, and the only character we know is Wolverine himself, James Howlett. However, the 2023 ransomware attack on Insomniac Games has led to the unintended leak of numerous development assets, which likely revealed several other characters slated to appear. Players can expect a roster of characters from Logan's history, which includes both his allies and iconic villains. Marvel's Wolverine: Expected prices, editions, and pre-order details The official pricing and edition details for Marvel's Wolverine are yet to be announced by Sony. But based on the standard pricing model for first-party AAA PS5 titles, the base game is expected to retail at approximately $69.99 / $99.99 CAD . Also, fans can expect a Digital Deluxe or Collector's Edition, which will potentially include: Bonus cosmetic items. An artbook. A soundtrack. Also for now some retailers have already listed placeholder pages for the game, allowing fans to register interest for pre-orders, but these pages carry clear disclaimers that all details are subject to change and that no release date is confirmed.

Emma Stone recalls 'special time' while working with Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man films
Los Angeles [US], August 18 (ANI): Emma Stone has made a rare mention of her ex-boyfriend, Andrew Garfield, sharing her experience of sharing the screen with him in 'The Amazing Spider-Man' films. Before Tom Holland took over as the face of Peter Parker, Garfield donned the famous Spider-Man suit for the 'Amazing' franchise alongside Stone, who played his on-screen love interest. The Oscar winner recalled some fond memories of working with Garfield. "I mean, I really loved doing Spider-Man. I loved everyone I worked with. I met Andrew there. I met Sally Field, and Marc Webb was wonderful. It was really a special time in my life," Stone said in a recent interview, as quoted by People. She added that the people around her made the shooting experience better for her. "The recurring theme is the people, more than the film itself, that sticks with me for so long. And so I have only the fondest memories of this whole experience," Stone said. This marks a very rare instance when Emma Stone has opened up about her ex-boyfriend, whom she met on the sets of 2012's 'The Amazing Spider-Man' and dated for four years. On the other hand, Andrew Garfield has always been full of praise for Stone. In a 2021 interview with Variety, the actor said that his experience on films with Emma Stone was "beautiful" as he got to meet and work with her. Stone made her debut as Gwen Stacy in the 2012 film, which was a reboot of the original 'Spider-Man' trilogy. It was in the sequel that her character died during a battle with the Green Goblin. Garfield later made a return as the superhero in 2021's 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' alongside Tobey Maguire and Holland. It is yet to be seen if the actor will come back for a fourth time. (ANI)
