Final ‘Jurassic World Rebirth' Trailer Pits Scarlett Johansson Against Distortus Rex & Winged Mutadons
The latest Jurassic World: Rebirth trailer delivers a grounded, suspenseful vibe as Scarlett Johansson's Zora Bennett heads a covert mission to extract dinosaur DNA from a remote island sanctuary. While the film promises intense action and new prehistoric threats, the standout moment is a pulse-pounding river chase sequence — a direct homage to a scene Michael Crichton wrote for the original novel but never saw on screen until now.
Director Gareth Edwards leans into practical effects and a more naturalistic tone, aiming to recapture the awe and tension that made the franchise legendary. With a cast including Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey, Rebirth looks set to balance thrilling dino encounters with a gripping survival story.
What's especially exciting for long-time fans is the film's return to practical creature effects and on-location shoots, a conscious move away from the heavy CGI of recent instalments. The trailer hints at a more tactile, suspense-driven experience that echoes the original Jurassic Park — right down to the ominous jungle vistas and the bone-rattling sound design.
With the promise of new dinosaur species, a fresh survival mystery, and a cast ready to face extinction-level odds, Jurassic World: Rebirth is shaping up to be more than just another sequel. It's a bold attempt to evolve the franchise while paying tribute to its roots—both on screen and on the page.

'Alien: Earth' Trailer Hints At 5 Different Terrifying Life Forms, Including...A Predator?
FX is bringing extraterrestrial life forms closer to home, and it promises a terrifying time. The network has dropped the full trailer for Alien: Earth , which sets up the premise of the eight-episode prequel series — a crashed spacecraft brings a group of tactical (and synthetic) soldiers face to face with the all-too-familiar Xenomorph on Earth. But the alien isn't the only threat standing in their way. 'This ship collected five different life forms from the darkest corners of the universe. Monsters… Invasive species. Predatory,' says a character in the clip, followed by quick glimpses of various creatures, including a Facehugger, a giant jelly species, another bowl-shaped scuttler with tentacles, and more new, uh, friends. It was previously revealed that the show would feature five different species, so it's nice to have that confirmation in canon. While not explicitly shown, the Predator may be one of these monsters, as its iconic clicking noise can be heard at two points in the trailer. The use of the word 'predatory' also seems to be rather deliberate, and it's worth remembering that the trailer for Predator: Badlands has overt crossover references to the Alien franchise — namely, the Weyland-Yutani branding in the protagonist's eye and corporate vehicles. Set two years before Ridley Scott's original movie (for reference, Romulus takes place between the first and second movie), Alien: Earth is helmed by Fargo creator Noah Hawley, who also serves as executive producer alongside Scott. The official logline reads: 'In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype named 'Wendy' marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, 'Wendy' and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.' Sydney Chandler ( Pistol, Don't Worry Darling ) plays Wendy, with lex Lawther ( The End of the F***ing World ), Timothy Olyphant ( Deadwood ), Essie Davis ( The Babadook ), Samuel Blenkin ( The Witcher: Blood Origin ), Babou Ceesay ( Severance ), David Rysdahl ( No Exit ), Adrian Edmondson ( The Young Ones ), Adarsh Gourav ( The White Tiger ), Jonathan Ajayi ( The Drifters ), Erana James ( The Wilds ), Lily Newmark ( Cursed ), Diem Camille ( The Great Silence ), and Moe Bar-El ( Honour ) rounding out the ensemble cast. Alien: Earth will premiere on FX and Hulu (or Disney+ outside of the U.S.) on 12 August.

'Ready or Not 2: Here I Come' Firms Up Apr 2026 Release
Ready or not, Samara Weaving ( Home and Away , Scream VI ) and her killer cast are back to deliver more thrills. The sequel to 2019's horror hit, titled Ready or Not 2: Here I Come , is set to open in theatres on 10 April 2026 after wrapping production, which began earlier in April. Plot details remain under lock and key, but Weaving will step back into the shoes of Grace in the upcoming feature. Horror veterans Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elijah Wood are the latest additions to the roster, joining Kathryn Newton ( Lisa Frankenstein ), Shawn Hatosy ( The Pitt ), Néstor Carbonell ( Bates Motel ), Kevin Durand ( Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes ), and director David Cronenberg ( The Fly ) in a rare acting role. Original directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett return to the director's chair, reuniting them with much of the creative team, including writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy, The Umbrella Academy production designer Andrew Stearn, director of photography Brett Jutkiewicz ( Scream ), Scream VI costume designer Avery Plewes, and makeup head of department Colin Penman ( The Apprentice ). Ready or Not 2: Here I Come also marks the third reteam between Weaving and the helmer duo, following its predecessor and Scream VI . Released in 2019, the first movie focuses on Grace, a young bride who marries into a family of ultra-wealthy devil-worshippers intent on killing her before sunrise in a murderous game of hide and seek. It became Searchlight's biggest release of the year, earning US$57.6 million globally against a US$6 million budget. The sequel is slated for release on 10 April 2026.

James Gunn Sets 'Superman' Runtime, Denies WB Made Him Shorten It
James Gunn's DC Universe (DCU) kick-starter Superman now has a confirmed runtime, with the writer and director denying rumours that parent company Warner Bros. 'forced' its relatively shorter length. Opening in cinemas on 11 July this year, Superman will clock in at two hours and nine minutes, inclusive of its credits, a number confirmed by Gunn on social network Threads. By comparison, 2013's Man of Steel ran for two hours and 14 minutes, while its 2016 follow-up, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, ran for two hours and 31 minutes. While its two-hour runtime might not seem that short in the context of modern superhero films, Superman is set to feature a plethora of side characters such as Mister Terrific, Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl, sparking questions on how the film would include them all into its brisk pace while ensuring they are more fleshed out rather than mere cameos. Perhaps one way the film would circumvent its shorter runtime is by removing the origins element of Superman completely, with its trailers making it seem like the superhero is already an established name in the eyes of the public, and Gunn himself previously stating that he was uninterested in making yet another Superman origin story. In addition, Gunn also explained during an Instagram Live session that the film would focus solely on Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, and wouldn't be an ensemble piece à la The Avengers . Alongside unveiling the film's runtime, Gunn was also quick to shoot down rumours that Warner Bros. had forced him to shorten the film. 'Zero truth to that,' he replied to a comment on Threads, 'And they couldn't even if that's something that they wanted to. It's a DC Studios film.' With this statement, it seems clear that the director has creative control when it comes to his rebooted DCU, which does help to alleviate some of the concerns surrounding Superman's shorter runtime when it hits theatres on 11 July 2025.

He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying. DC Universe James Gunn Superman
