Timothy Olyphant's 8 Greatest Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror Roles
After Deadwood and Justified, Timothy Olyphant will forever be linked first and foremost to Westerns. And while he's clearly aware of that—playing off that association in roles that veer into other genres—he's also a versatile star who's popped up in comedies and dramas, as well as the sci-fi, horror, and fantasy tales we cover at io9. Here are our eight favorite genre roles so far, starting with his current project… The newly launched FX sci-fi series is mapping out a fresh small-screen story for the Alien movie universe, with plenty of familiar callbacks for film fans. Nearly unrecognizable with pale hair and carefully blank eyes, Olyphant plays Kirsh, a synthetic who seems sympathetic enough after the first two episodes. But will he end up being more of a manipulative Ash or a heroic Bishop? It's been nearly 30 years since Olyphant's mainstream breakthrough in Scream 2. When the first film's Final Girl heads to college, the slashing briefly screeches to a halt for a scene set in a film studies class, with Olyphant playing an outspoken nerd with strong pop-culture opinions (Aliens comes up in the discussion, as does Terminator 2—long before Olyphant's involvement in either franchise). Multi-decade spoiler here, but he's also unmasked one of the film's Ghostfaces, a freelance maniac enlisted by the main killer to help with her revenge scheme. When Stephen King fans think of the best adaptations of his work, Dreamcatcher is traditionally not a top-tier ranker. But if you're rounding up the weirdest King adaptations, this 2003 film would certainly lead the pack. Olyphant co-stars with Jason Lee, Damian Lewis, and Thomas Jane as lifelong friends linked by psychic powers who must battle both terrifying aliens and, in a rare villainous role, Morgan Freeman as a military colonel obsessed with containing the extraterrestrial threat. Hollywood sometimes remembers that George A. Romero made films beyond his zombie series, which explains why 1973's The Crazies got a 2010 remake. Olyphant leads a decent sci-fi horror tale as a small-town sheriff scrambling to survive after his community is accidentally inundated by a biological weapon that makes nearly everyone act like a lunatic. The government tries to do damage control and predictably makes things worse. It's not unlike a zombie movie, in other words. This entry recognizes Olyphant's many guest roles across animated films and TV (Archer, The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, etc.), but we chose this 2011 release because he plays 'the Spirit of the West,' a mystical advice-giver, and the casting clearly leans into his fame as a Western star. HE PLAYS HIMSELF! Or, a version of himself, anyway. When the gang needs to convince Gen the Judge (an Olyphant superfan) to rethink that whole 'reset the entire universe' thing, Janet conjures a convivial version of the star, complete with cowboy hat, to help Eleanor and company make their case. (It works.) Two Star Wars shows, one Olyphant. He played Cobb Vanth, the marshal roaming Tatooine in Boba Fett's famous armor—who later calls upon the Mandalorian's help when his town gets caught in a crossfire of bad guys and even badder bounty hunters. Yes, it's another lawman role… but a very different sort of wild, wild west. Netflix's Terminator anime was cool in many, many ways—including the fact that its English-language cast featured Olyphant as its Terminator. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

Now Streaming: Paramount announces seven-year UFC media rights pact
'Now Streaming' is The Fly's weekly recap of the stories surrounding the biggest content streamers. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. PLAYING THIS WEEKEND: Among this weekend's top new streaming content is science fiction horror series 'Alien: Earth,' a prequel to 1979 film 'Alien.' The first two episodes can be watched on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ (DIS) internationally. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime Video (AMZN) subscribers can catch spy thriller series 'Butterfly' starring Daniel Dae Kim. Additionally, Netflix (NFLX) users can watch season 2 of reality show 'Love is Blind U.K.,' as well as adult animated film 'Fixed,' which is directed by 'Dexter's Laboratory' creator Genndy Tartakovsky. PARAMOUNT/UFC: Paramount, a Skydance Corporation (PSKY), and TKO Group (TKO) announced a seven-year media rights agreement in which Paramount will become the exclusive home of all UFC events in the U.S. Starting in 2026, Paramount will exclusively distribute UFC's full slate of 13 marquee numbered events and 30 Fight Nights via its direct-to-consumer streaming platform, Paramount+, with select numbered events to be simulcast on CBS, Paramount's leading broadcast network. As part of the agreement, UFC and Paramount will move away from UFC's existing Pay-Per-View model in favor of making these premium events available at no additional cost to the expansive U.S. subscriber base of Paramount+. This shift in distribution strategy will unlock greater accessibility and discoverability for sports fans and provide an important catalyst for driving engagement and further subscriber growth for Paramount+. Paramount intends to explore UFC rights outside the U.S. as they become available in the future. The seven-year term, which begins in 2026, has an average annual value of $1.1B. The contract's payment schedule is weighted more toward the back end of the deal. The announcement comes after Disney's ESPN and TKO's WWE announced a landmark rights agreement as ESPN platforms, including the new ESPN direct-to-consumer streaming service, will become the exclusive U.S. domestic home of all WWE Premium Live Events, including the two-night cultural phenomenon WrestleMania, starting in 2026. ESPN/ FOX ONE: Meanwhile, ESPN's upcoming direct-to-consumer service and FOX One, Fox Corporation's (FOXA) wholly-owned direct to consumer streaming service, announced earlier this week an agreement that will give consumers the opportunity to purchase the two services bundled together starting October 2 for $39.99 per month. 'Working with FOX One on this bundle offer allows us to bring ESPN's world-class sports content to even more fans in a seamless and innovative way,' said Sean Breen, EVP, Disney Platform Distribution. 'This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to delivering premium experiences across platforms and meeting consumers where they are – anytime, anywhere.' The ESPN DTC offering will give fans access to all of ESPN's linear networks – ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ESPN Deportes – in addition to ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, SECN+, and ACCNX, covering 47,000 live events each year, on-demand replays, studio shows, original programming, as well as newly expanded NFL content and more. FOX One will bring all of FOX's News, Sports and Entertainment branded content together in one streaming platform. The ESPN DTC offering and FOX One service will both individually become available to consumers beginning August 21 and the combined bundle will be available for purchase beginning on October 2. WORLD SOCCER TICKET: On Wednesday, Comcast (CMCSA) announced the launch of 'World Soccer Ticket' exclusively for Xfinity customers, calling it 'the industry's first video package custom-built for soccer fans.' World Soccer Ticket is available for an all-in monthly price of $85 and includes nearly 60 broadcast, cable news, and English- and Spanish-language sports channels and a subscription to Peacock Premium, the company noted. 'Now, customers can seamlessly enjoy more than 1,500 matches from the world's best leagues, including Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Major League Soccer, LALIGA, Liga MX, the FIFA World Cup, and more, all in one place,' Comcast stated.
