Death comes for Jamie Fraser in Outlander's final season trailer
Of course, everything about this franchise hinges on an undying love for time travel shenanigans, as well-established in Diana Gabaldon's novels. First, it was Claire Beauchamp (Caitriona Balfe) who went back in time to 1743 Scotland and ended up meeting and marrying the true love of her life, Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). Eventually, their daughter Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and son-in-law Roger (Richard Rankin)—along with their own kids—were able to use the ancient stones in Craigh na Dun to hop across time. You can see all of this in the trailer released today for Outlander's final season, which spends a couple minutes revisiting the protagonists' complicated journeys.
A glimpse of the new episodes towards the end of the footage reveal that Jamie is reading a book written by Claire's former husband, Frank (Tobias Menzies), which claims he is going to die in an upcoming battle. In season eight, the Frasers will undoubtedly do everything in their power to stop this from happening. In the season seven finale, Claire also discovered that a child she gave birth to back in season two might have survived (and wasn't stillborn, as she believed), which increases the stakes for the family as they resettle into their North Carolina home.
Meanwhile, the previously released Outlander: Blood Of My Blood trailer already revealed its big twist: Claire's parents also journeyed back to the past. (Talk about a family problem.) After getting married during World War I in England and the birth of their daughter Claire, Julia (Hermione Corfield) and Henry (Jeremy Irvine) go on a holiday to Scotland and accidentally find themselves in 1714. There, they're separated and try to find each other, interacting with Ellen Mackenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) along the way. Ellen and Brian, who belong to warring clans, fall in love and will eventually go on to have a child: Jamie Fraser.
In tandem with the show's SDCC panel, Starz released clips to introduce us to the two couples. Our big takeaway? Give the casting department a raise for bringing Corfield in as Claire's mom; she looks exactly like how Balfe did during Outlander's debut.
Outlander: Blood Of My Blood will premiere with two episodes on August 8. It has already been renewed for season two.

A Forgotten Dwayne Johnson Sci-Fi Movie Is Swallowing The Competition On Netflix
Dwayne Johnson's 2018 blockbuster Rampage is running amok on Netflix, hitting the streamer's top ten this past week, as viewers can't seem to resist the combination of The Rock and giant creatures destroying Chicago. According to FlixPatrol, which measures viewer habits on streaming services, the film has seen a spike after being added to Netflix's library. Rampage isn't usually top of mind when people think about The Rock, so it's not entirely clear why it's such a focus for viewers. The film features Dwayne Johnson as primatologist Davis Okoye, a man who works with gorillas at a San Diego wildlife sanctuary. He's particularly close to George, a highly intelligent albino silverback gorilla who can speak via sign language. George is a gentle giant, but after a scientific experiment on a space station goes awry, the remnants come crashing to earth, where, wouldn't you know, it crashes into George's habitat, and a canister within exposes him to a strange gas. It isn't long before George grows to an enormous size, with fits of uncontrollable rage, and escapes the facility. To make things worse, canisters of the gas also land in Wyoming, creating other large, angry creatures out of the local wildlife. They're on a collision course with George. Of course, that means Dwayne Johnson is going to do Dwayne Johnson things to stop them, and the action and mayhem quickly get out of control. The film also stars Naomie Harris (No Time to Die's Moneypenny) as Dr. Kate Caldwell, a scientist who worked on the genetic experiments now affecting the animals, and she teams up with Dwayne Johnson to stop the threat. Malin Akerman (Watchmen) and Jake Lacy (The Office) star as Claire and Brett Wyden, billionaire siblings who own Energyne, the corporation behind the experiments, and don't want their secrets out. They send out some ex-military types to retrieve them, and the government soon gets involved as the creatures are drawn to Chicago (thanks to a convenient plot device) for a showdown. Justice League's Deathstroke himself, Joe Manganiello, stars as Burke, an independent operator hunting down the creatures for the Wydens, and a very entertaining Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead) stars as a government agent trying to capture the creatures. Besides the outstanding digital effects (providing lots of angry monkey action), the movie also has a nice sense of humor, especially when Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Dwayne Johnson go head-to-head and start trading barbs. Released in April of 2018, the film was a box office hit, despite critics who ripped the movie and gave it a 51% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (viewers are more forgiving, giving it a 72% rating). It grossed over $100 million in the United States and over $428 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. Rampage is based on the 1980s video game of the same name, and as you might expect, it has very little resemblance to the final film. The only common denominator is the creatures, who punch buildings in the video game until they fall. Players control the creatures in the game, but the movie version needed a human face for the lead, and the larger-than-life Dwayne Johnson is one of the few actors on the planet who could share the screen with giant CGI creatures and not look out of place. Viewers will likely catch a familiar face in the film's opening moments: Marley Shelton (Scream, Sin City) as the astronaut on the doomed space station where the pathogen is first created. Sadly, another familiar face didn't make the film's final cut: a scene featuring Alexandra Daddario, Dwayne Johnson's co-star in San Andreas, was shot but later discarded. She played a scuba instructor who encounters a mutated squid. Solve the daily Crossword
