"Dune: Part Two" spoilers follow.
In Frank Herbert's 1965 novel "Dune," the main character Paul Atreides, and his mother Jessica, flee into the deserts of Arrakis to escape a successful attack on their home by the murderous House Harkonnen. They fall in with the Fremen, the nomadic natives of Arrakis, and Paul will grow to become their leader. Thanks to some manipulation from Jessica, Paul will also come to be considered the Fremen Messiah. When they first fled, Jessica was pregnant. In her years with the Fremen, Jessica will give birth to a girl named Alia. She will grow to be a toddler with eerie powers, granted to her by the Water of Life, a semi-poisonous worm excretion that Jessica drank while pregnant.

Fangs, Forks, Washington and fall, oh my! The five “Twilight Saga” films set the mood for the fall season, so as Halloween nears, get ahead with the movie nights and marathons so that you have ample time to absorb all the broody, bloody love story this season. Fall is the perfect time to re-invest in the love triangle and vampire vs. werewolf drama that the five films, adapted from Stephanie Meyer’s four books, have to offer.
Come for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s romance, and stay for Taylor Lautner’s eager portrayal of Jacob the werewolf in the latter four films. Dakota Fanning makes a great member of the Volturi. Plus, now that the WGA has a deal with the AMPTP, the reboot television series of “Twilight” over at Lionsgate might start back up again soon.

Season 2 of last summer’s hit breakout series “The Bear” is set to premiere on Hulu on Thursday, June 22. After a tumultuous return to his family’s hole-in-the-wall Chicago restaurant, chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) and his staff transform the greasy sandwich joint into a first-class dining experience after he discovers the slush fund his brother left behind. Despite having the extra money to make his dreams a reality, the future proves to be both a personal and professional challenge for Carmy and the crew.
Watch the trailer for Season 2 of “The Bear”:
Beginning on June 14, the new series continuation of the beloved film “The Full Monty” arrives on Hulu. It’s 25 years later and the men and women of Sheffield, England, are in reboot mode, navigating life and family. The original 1997 movie focused on a group of down-on-their-luck, blue-collar men who put on a strip show to make ends meet.

The Twilight Saga ran its course on the big screen, with five movies telling the story of the four books in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. While there are some side stories and reimaginings that could still be brought to the screen, the main tale has been told. Now ten and a half years have gone by since the release of the last film in the franchise… and that means the story is ripe for a re-telling. That’s clearly what Lionsgate Television believes, anyway, as The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that a Twilight TV series is in development!
The Hollywood Reporter notes that the Twilight TV series is in its infancy and does not yet have a network/platform or a writer as sources say the studio, which controls the rights to the franchise, plans to lead the development on the project before shopping the rights to the package.

Bomba Estéreo has made an impact since catapulting onto the global music scene in 2015 with their album "Amanecer" and the hit single "Fiesta," featuring Will Smith. While they've been nominated several times over the years for Grammys, Latin Grammys, and Billboard Music Awards, they have yet to take home a trophy. This year could be their year: Bomba Estéreo is up for four Latin Grammy nominations, including album of the year for "Deja" and record of the year for "Ojitos Lindos," a collaboration with the biggest Latinx star today, Bad Bunny. They're also nominated for a Latin Grammy in the category of best Latin rock, urban, or alternative album for "Deja." Even more, they've solidified themselves as a force behind the scenes, garnering lead singer Liliana Saumet and multi-instrumentalist Simón Mejía with album of the year nominations for a second time: Saumet as a songwriter on Bad Bunny's "Un Verano Sin Ti,...

The box office opening of Marvel Studios and Disneys’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever provided all of Hollywood — and theater owners — with a much-needed pre-Thanksgiving feast after a brutal fall at the box office.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, Wakanda Forever launched to a record 180 million domestically over the Nov. 11-13 weekend and 330 million globally despite the fact that the sequel had to proceed without Chadwick Boseman — who played the titular character in 2018’s Black Panther — after the actor died of cancer in August 2020.
“The film had a terrific opening weekend and resonated with all audiences. Marvel and Ryan Coogler did a phenomenal job addressing the unfortunate loss of Chadwick Boseman, and we’ve seen a tremendous response from fans as to how it respectfully honored his legacy,” said Tony Chambers, Disney’s theatrical distribution chief.

Vampires, werewolves and real-life couples that never were—oh, my! Kellan Lutz got candid about the chemistry he shared with his Twilight co-star, Nikki Reed, on the March 29 episode of The Twilight Effect podcast. Reflecting on his experience playing Emmett Cullen opposite of the actress' Rosalie Hale, Kellan said, "Nikki was awesome."

The actor added, "I felt so connected to her." So much so, in fact, that Kellan thinks they could have...

The clock is ticking on a number of noteworthy titles leaving Netflix this month.
Below, we’ve assembled a complete list of everything leaving Netflix in January 2022, and it includes quite a few films you may want to prioritize on your watchlist. Leaving Jan. 6 is “The Green Knight” filmmaker David Lowery’s quietly mesmerizing drama “A Ghost Story” starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara. Also leaving on Jan. 6 is Illumination Entertainment’s animated retelling of “The Lorax,” while Jan. 5 marks the exit date of all five seasons of the Matt LeBlanc comedy series “Episodes.”
But the highest profile departure this month is all five films in the “Twilight” franchise, which are due to leave the streaming service on Jan. 15.
Meanwhile, if you’re looking for other films to check out before they depart, the Wachowskis’ epic “Cloud Atlas” and Martin Scorsese’s Leonardo DiCaprio-fronted psychological thriller “Shutter Island” both leave Jan.

Since the 1980s Alberto Iglesias has created beautiful, thrilling music for the screen working broadly throughout his native Spain and Hollywood and with a versatile array of directors and genres—underpinned by his iconic collaborations with Pedro Almodóvar. Iglesias' film suites are fashioned with lucious jazz and emotive orchestral poetry. He beautifully balances the tension of theatrical melodrama with voyages into memory and the vibrancy of inner-city life, with its sophisticated glamour and debauched underbellies. This mix provides a healthy dose of Iglesias collaborations with Almodóvar, from their early years with films such as The Flower of My Secret (1995) and Live Flesh (1997) to this year’s Parallel Mothers and The Human Voice (where Igelsias’s key focus was to riff on his Almodóvar themes of the past). Julio Medem’s Sex and Lucia (2001) defines the 2000s moment of contemporary Spanish cinema’s bursts on the global sphere, soundtracked by that early millenium “Igelsias” sound.

Are we in the midst of a Twilight-naissance? All five movies from the vampire romance are now available to stream on Netflix, giving old and new viewers alike the excuse to visit the overcast world of Forks, Washington, and dive into the love story of brooding vampire Edward Cullen and clumsy human teenager Bella Swan.
But unlike other film franchises, the order of The Twilight Saga is not super intuitive. Although the films are chronological, aside from the final two films in the franchise, they aren’t numbered, which can leave viewers who haven’t read the books a bit confused.

Let it never be said that the Twilight film franchise doesn’t know how to make an entire movie theater gasp aloud in shock and horror. In 2012, with the release of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, the final installment in the paranormal romance adaptation, it did just that, delivering a twist ending bloodbath that seemed to differ wildly from the book’s canonical conclusion… before immediately backtracking on the entire thing. The movie reveals that the sequence is simply a vision Alice Cullen shares with Michael Sheen’s Volturi leader Aro in order to convince him to settle their families’ vampire disagreement over Renesmee peacefully, which they do. And they all live happily ever after.
“To me, it’s like an eight minute musical number,” director Bill Condon told Vulture in 2012 of the film’s wild climax, adding that he had particular fun deciding who would be killed in the “dream” sequence.

Stephenie Meyer was truly on her bullshit when she wrote the Twilight saga, and over a decade later, we are still asking ourselves why we let her get away with it. However you feel about her work, there is no denying the cultural shift that happened when a vampire became a disco ball instead of a pile of ashes when they stepped into the sun. Meyers’… interesting… take on the undead has remained in the public imagination since the first book’s release in 2005, and people are still searching for the why and the how of Meyers’ universe more than 15 years later. The movies did literally nothing to tighten or clarify the books’ logic, but we got Shirtless Taylor Lautner for the duration, and if nothing else that was worth it. There are many questions one might be left with at the end of their Twilight journey, but perhaps the...

A decade ago, Twilight mania had gripped the world, with screaming teenagers and overzealous cougars alike descending into hysteria as the battle lines were drawn between Team Edward and Team Jacob. Very few franchises in history have sparked the sort of delirium in a fanbase that the big screen adaptations of Stephenie Meyer’s novels did, which gained a rabid following that a lot of people just couldn’t wrap their heads around since none of the movies are particularly good.
The first and last installments currently hold the highest Rotten Tomatoes scores out of the entire series with a middling 49%, but box office takings were through the roof. The Twilight Saga raked in over $3.3 billion globally and sold in excess of 50 million copies on home video in the United States alone, but in recent times, the sparkly vampires have become more likely to be the butt of a joke after infiltrating popular culture.

Join me in saying ‘Aaah, vindication’. Okay, the moment’s over since there’s still the reality that Breaking Dawn, as well as the other Twilight movies, made a fortune because they played upon the sensibilities of young girls and mothers that wanted to see the male stars with their shirts off. If that sounded creepy to you then don’t worry, it was entirely creepy to a lot of people. Breaking Dawn actually had a chance to be one of the best in the bunch since they had a great fight at the end…that turned out to be nothing more than a

Like most people who owned Team Edward shirts in 2009, I remember the Twilight novels for the cringey dialogue, the iconic love triangle, and the hand-wringing over its supposedly anti-feminist protagonist, Bella Swan. But when I recently revisited the saga to prepare for Midnight Sun, I came to an interesting conclusion: the way Stephenie Meyer represents Bella's agency as a character is actually sort of progressive.
Bella is often dismissed as a personality-less character, but her actions across the novels reveal much more depth. Bella is shown to be selfless, brave, sarcastic, and stubborn; she's also uncannily mature to the point where she's constantly referred to as an "old soul." Bella continually puts herself on the line to save people she loves, jokes around with Edward (something the melodramatic film adaptations leave out), and, most of all, refuses to back down when she wants something (especially when that something is superhot...

It's been 15 years since Stephenie Meyer released Twilight, but the fandom is stronger than ever thanks to the release of her new book, Midnight Sun. The much-anticipated book finally hit shelves on Aug. 4, and it retells the events of the first book from Edward Cullen's point of view.
You might think that a story you already know the ending to wouldn't be nearly as captivating as the original, but fans are eating it up. Not only does it give us a glimpse into Edward's tortured mind (all 662 pages worth), but it also reveals some interesting new details about the characters. As Meyer puts it, "Some people are going to like some characters more, and they're going to like some characters less, because not only is he spending time with them that way, but he is reading their minds all the time."

The latest Twilight book, Midnight Sun, released earlier this month and blew fans of the saga away by giving them a fresh perspective on the story through the eyes of Edward Cullen.
As you’d expect, the new novel instantly became a hit and reached No. 1 on Amazon’s Best Sellers list, with more than one million copies sold in just a week. While Meyer has marketed Midnight Sun as a sequel, the book is actually a retelling of the story but from Edward’s Pov. If you’re a fan of the saga and don’t find the new release that compelling to invest in the novel, then the fact that the writer has added a scene missing from the original book might be enough to lure you in.

While Meyer has marketed Midnight Sun as a sequel, the book is actually a retelling of the story but from Edward’s Pov. If you’re a fan of the saga and don’t find the new release that compelling to invest in the novel, then the fact that the writer has added a scene missing from the original book might be enough to lure you in.

The fifth book in the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, Midnight Sun, was released on Tuesday into the hands of excited and expectant fans. The last full book in the series, Breaking Dawn, was released in 2008. Fans have known about Midnight Sun for quite some time as the draft of the manuscript was leaked […]

Like Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun is older than it looks. Stephenie Meyer’s retelling of Twilight, her iconic Ya novel of female desire, from the perspective of the smoldering vampire lover was first teased back in 2008, around the release of the final book, Breaking Dawn. At the time, Meyer announced that she would not be finishing the manuscript, as the first twelve chapters had leaked online and she felt like she had lost control of the story. By the time she warmed again to the idea, over the intervening years, the project was again derailed by the emergence of E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey (based on James’ Twilight fanfic) and its own reversed-perspective retelling, Grey.
Then, suddenly, this past May, it was announced that Midnight Sun would be published in just a few months. With no real context for why the book is finally seeing the light of day,...

There’s a very good chance we’re going to read Midnight Sun, the companion novel to pop culture juggernaut Twilight that retells the first story in the Stephanie Meyer Ya vampire series from Edward Cullen’s perspective. But we can enjoy something while also being critical of it, and the truth is: our culture deserves more, better vampire stories than what the Twilight saga has to offer. With that in mind, we’ve pooled our collective knowledge to recommend the following vampire stories that have more diverse and imaginative takes on the popular genre. From short stories to book series, hopefully there’s something here for you…
Fledgling by Octavia Butler
A good general rule of life to follow is that if Octavia Butler has written something in a particular genre, you should read it. And that’s as true in the world of vampire fiction as anywhere else.

It’s been almost exactly 12 years since the publication of Breaking Dawn, the last entry in the Twilight series. A lot has happened over that time, but despite everything else going on right now, it’s time to revisit one of the truly important questions of the 21st century: Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?
Author Stephenie Meyer announced back in the spring that the long-awaited Midnight Sun was finally getting an official release. Yesterday, the book, which retells the first Twilight novel from the point of view of Edward Cullen, hit shelves around the world and while fans who got into the saga as teenagers are now adults, they’re still loving those sexy, glittery vampires.
Here’s a selection of responses from social media:
Yes I’m now 32… Yes I rushed to the bookstore to pick up this Ya gem today… No I probably won’t sleep tonight…...

The new Twilight novel will focus on Edward’s perspective of the events that led him to fall in love with Bella, but it seems that Stephenie Meyer intends to include new scenes in the story as well.
Barring the highly-successful movie adaptations, fans of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan have gone through quite a drought since the last book, Breaking Dawn, came out almost 12 years ago. Creator Stephenie Meyer originally intended to write another sequel though that would serve as a retelling of the story and focus on Edward’s perspective, as opposed to Bella who was the sole narrator of the events. A couple of the book’s chapters even found their way online, but the writer ultimately decided to drop the project. Now, it seems that she’s found the passion to explore these characters once again, as the new book, titled Midnight Sun, will complete that long-forsaken goal.

Twelve years after the last book in the Twilight series, it’s time to once again decide whether you’re on Team Edward or Team Jacob.
Author Stephenie Meyer recently announced that the long-awaited novel Midnight Sun is set for an official release on August 4th, 2020. Interestingly, this isn’t a direct continuation or even a prequel to the existing story, but rather a retelling of the first Twilight from the point of view of Edward Cullen.
The intention of the book is to show us how Edward reacted to Bella coming into his life. This will specifically explore his feelings on meeting his ‘singer’ (a human whose blood is more tempting than anyone else’s). We’ll see Edward discussing Bella with his fellow vampires, more detail into the lives of the Olympic Coven, their perspective on regular humans and the specifics of Edward’s trip to Alaska after his first meeting with Bella.

It might be 10 years since the first Twilight film came out, but we're still totally obsessed. A decade later, we still love learning new little tidbits about the franchise, reunions make us more excited than we'd like to admit, and Kristen Stewart admitting that she wouldn't be against a reboot nearly sent us over the edge.

Of course, Twilight would never be the same without the rest of the cast, and that includes Anna Kendrick, who played Jessica Stanley. However, it turns out that the role might not have been as memorable to the actress as it was to us. On Monday, the Pitch Perfect star sent the internet in a frenzy when she hilariously tweeted, "Holy sh*t. I just remembered I was in Twilight."
Holy shit. I just remembered I was in Twilight.

This might be a hard pill to swallow, but the final installment of Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 was released five years ago today. Do you feel old yet? Because it might get worse... Though we know what the saga's biggest stars like Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have been up to lately, we couldn't help but wonder about one half-human, half-vampire in particular. Yes, we're talking about Renesmee Cullen! The young girl who stole our hearts playing Edward Cullen and Bella Swan's daughter in the Breaking Dawn movies is all grown up. Her name is Mackenzie Foy. She's 17-years-old (!!!), and considering she took on the role at the age of 9, she's changed...

For as long as there have been movies, there have been movies based on books. This is a look at the best movie franchises that are either based on a book or several books.
It’s one thing to have a movie that is based on a book. It happens all the time. It’s more rare to have an entire franchise of films based on a book or set of books. Over the last two decades, it seems like we have been seeing more and more franchises emerge that are based on books. This seems to be happening for a few reasons. First, Hollywood is more than ever looking for established properties on which to base films. Book, have been and always will be one of the best established properties for a movie to be based upon.

Out of all the franchises that have come along in the last decade perhaps none were as big as Lionsgate’s double whammy of Twilight and The Hunger Games, at least in terms of its fan base. Based on the best-selling books, both rode the wave of the young adult sub-genre and were the stalwarts for the many Ya adaptations that followed.
But sadly as with most good things, both series came to a close and the studio, and indeed the fans, have been clamoring for both ever since. And they may all get their wish if Lionsgate have anything to say about it – and CEO Jon Feltheimer opened the door to new stories on Wall Street this week, saying to analysts: (via Variety)

Miss seeing Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner play a vampire and werewolf in the Twilight series? Well, the actors probably aren't reprising their supernatural roles anytime soon, but they did have an adorable reunion in La on Thursday. The former costars and real-life friends shared a sweet embrace at a Moschino afterparty. While Kristen sported her infamous buzzed haircut, Taylor showed off some sexy scruff as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. This isn't the first time the two have reunited since wrapping Breaking Dawn – Part 2. In 2015, Kristen brought along Taylor as her date to her big premiere for American Ultra. Bella and Jacob may not have been true love, but we're happy to see Kristen and Taylor's friendship is still going strong.

Chatting to Yahoo, he queried “so, I’ll get my own spin-off?”, before adding “I’m always kind of curious. Anything where there’s a mass audience - or seemingly an audience for it - I always like the idea of subverting people’s expectations. There could be...

Bill Condon recently brought an iconic creature to life on the big screen in the live-action Beauty and the Beast movie, and with that film passing the $1 billion milestone at the global box office, the filmmaker could be entering the world of Universal Monsters for his next project.
Deadline reports that Condon is in "early talks" to direct a new Bride of Frankenstein movie for Universal Pictures.
No official deal has been made, but Deadline reveals that both sides are "excited" about teaming up for the film, which would join the upcoming The Mummy (hitting theaters June 9th), the in-the-works Creature from the Black Lagoon, and other projects (including one on Van Helsing) that are part of the revamped Universal Monsters shared cinematic world.
It's also worth noting that The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) is one of Condon's most-loved classic monster films, according to Deadline. The original film starred Elsa Lanchester...

How to make movies that win awards and break box office records.
Forget Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh. Bill Condon’s career really began with Gods and Monsters, for which he won the adapted screenplay Oscar.
