Given the state of the world around us today, it's not surprising that people are interested in post-apocalyptic settings. After all, you never know what skills or niche knowledge might save your life one day!
In all seriousness, though, post-apocalyptic scenarios can be a lot of fun. Packed with action, high stakes, and suspense, they keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Unfortunately, it's not easy to find a movie or TV series that does justice to the genre and doesn't rely on the same repetitive clichés.
If you're feeling the adrenaline rush and can't wait for Fallout to return with season 2, check out the movies below.

The universe of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone has kept the fans engrossed in the arc of John Dutton and his clan for virtually a century. From 1923 to 2024, the legacy and time-honored traditions of the Dutton clan have fascinated the audience for years and now, the time has finally come to bid goodbye to the original series that started it all — from Taylor Sheridan’s rise to popularity to Kevin Costner’s return to fame.

Although the chances of that are slim, stranger things have happened recently in the world of entertainment business.

Taylor Sheridan’s neo-western drama series Yellowstone starring Kevin Costner in the lead, became a runaway success with audiences and critics thanks to the actor-turned-writer’s sharp screenplay and story. Encouraged by the reception, the Veronica Mars star went on to create two prequels to the series namely 1883 and 1923, which traced the ancestry of the Duttons and the Yellowstone ranch.

In an interview, Sheridan spoke of the effort and detail involved in the production design of the series.

It's been a full year since Paramount announced that Kevin Costner was leaving Yellowstone. With the second half of Season 5 being the final one, the news was incredibly disappointing for fans of one of the most important Westerns of the 21st century.
Moreover, the mere fact of Costner's departure has caused an incredible amount of controversy and speculation around the already cult series: is Taylor Sheridan or Costner himself to blame, how does the former intend to deal with John Dutton without his actor, how much will all this affect the quality of the finale?
All in all, even now, in 2024, it's causing quite a few controversies, as the ongoing drama behind the scenes is still shrouded in mystery. Reports at the end of March suggested that Costner would return to Yellowstone after all, but that was followed by other reports saying that we could still see new scenes with...

Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe continues to grow and evolve with more and more spin-offs on the way. Despite the end of Kevin Costner’s journey in the Western world with season 5, Sheridan seems to have no plans to end the universe with John Dutton. And Harrison Ford’s 1923 is one of the many spin-offs existing and said to be in the works.
Kevin Costner as John Dutton in Yellowstone
Starring in the prequel series, and playing the great great grand uncle of John Dutton, Ford does an impeccable job as always. Playing a character related to Costner’s Dutton, any other actor would have thought to reach out to Costner, especially given the rumored feud between Sheridan and the Yellowstone star. Yet, Ford had other plans.

Taylor Sheridan is undoubtedly one of the most powerful voices in the TV space with his shows being the flagship entries of the Paramount+ network. Yellowstone became a sensation in 2018 and it has spawned several spin-offs including 1883 and 1923. The show is Sheridan’s masterpiece and none of his other shows have ever come close to its impact on audiences.

However, its inception was a different story altogether. By the 2010s, the Western genre had faded in popularity compared to the 50s-70s era. Yellowstone being in that genre created a lot of difficulty for Sheridan in convincing networks and studios to bankroll the project.

Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western drama series Yellowstone was quite well-received by both fans and critics, especially after the first season. Its success paved the way for a slew of spin-offs. Created by Taylor Sheridan, the show revolves around the Duttons family who must protect their property from outsiders all while dealing with internal conflict.
Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone
Yellowstone’s first spinoff was a prequel series, 1883, starring Sam Elliot, Tim McGraw, and more. Following suit, “1923” emerged as another prequel, boasting an enviable lineup led by Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. When it came to coming back for a second season, Harrison Ford couldn’t be more excited. However, his enthusiasm was met with a stark comment from Taylor Sheridan.

Taylor Sheridan may not have much to show for his decades of acting career but slaving away at the Hollywood mill did teach him a lesson or two. He then used these lessons to bring Hollywood down to its knees. Churning out award-worthy original content, prequels, and spin-offs at an ungodly pace, Sheridan makes sure the studios perk up as soon as they hear his pen scratching the surface of a paper.

After suffering through an ordeal while securing a platform for Yellowstone, the director encountered and overcame massive obstacles in closing the series arc. His future spin-offs have been easier to pull off, but Sheridan once came incredibly close to losing his deal with Harrison Ford.

The finale of Game of Thrones aired almost five years ago, and since then HBO has been developing a multitude of spin-offs, prequels, and sequels to fill the void.
So far the only one to come to fruition has been House of the Dragon, which had the difficult job of drawing us back to Westeros after the disappointing end of GoT left most fans uninterested. Many doubted that the show could do the job, but they were quickly proven wrong – viewership for House of the Dragon started high and got higher as news got out about its quality. The first season holds a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes (Season 8 of the original series has 55%.)
But not all ideas are going to make it, and recent details about the Queen Nymeria project 10,000 Ships prove HBO might have been right to axe it.

When we think of Zack Snyder, our minds might automatically soar to his superhero epics like Man of Steel or Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But did you know there were two other ambitious projects that, despite Snyder’s imaginative touch, ended up being even bigger financial hurdles for Warner Bros?
Yes, we’re talking about the aesthetically stunning yet underrated Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (2010) and the stylistically bold Sucker Punch (2011).

Ever wonder why some films are a powerful combination of visual art and storytelling but fail miserably at the box office, rather than just being a flickering collection of scenes? Both films showcased Snyder’s unique narrative ambition but encountered unexpected turbulence in their financial flight.

Yellowstone star Ian Bohen has some big claims about the Paramount+ series’ final few episodes, despite potentially losing lead star Kevin Costner. The second part of the fifth and final season has yet to begin filming, with Bohen suggesting that filming will start in May. Bohen claimed that he was told the rough outlines of the final episodes. According to Bohen, Yellowstone fans are going to get one of the best finale seasons that could possibly be written.
Yellowstone is expected to have the best conclusion according to its actor
Bohen’s big claims come at a time when the show is riddled with uncertainties and behind-the-scenes issues. Fans were almost expecting a disastrous final season like Game of Thrones or Lost, but the Teen Wolf actor has just raised everyone’s hopes.

Making a show in Westeros is no joke — there are dragons and battles, princes and princesses, gold coins and iron throne. Therefore, one can only imagine the production budget helmed by Game of Thrones. But what if we say that Taylor Sheridan surprisingly beat the HBO show with his Western spin-off 1923?
Taylor Sheridan in an interview with CBS News
While David Benioff and D.B Weiss’ Game of Thrones overall performed better than 1923, Taylor Sheridan significantly surpassed the show’s budget with his Western drama. Speaking with Deadline, the showrunner notified fans of the amount he sought for 1923, compared to the HBO show’s average budget per episode.

There’s no rule that says that when the son or daughter of a famous filmmaker becomes a director too, he or she has to follow in their parent’s artistic footsteps. But the children of director David Cronenberg have turned out to be chips off the old shock-theater block. In movies like “Possessor” and “Infinity Pool,” the 44-year-old Brandon Cronenberg has proved himself to be a skillful purveyor of body horror and I-dare-you-not-to-look-away extremity. And now, with “Humane,” the 39-year-old Caitlin Cronenberg has directed her own first feature, a dark-as-midnight domestic thriller about how climate change, totalitarianism, and euthanasia all go together. The movie, which takes the form of a dinner party from hell, is Caitlin Cronenberg’s own thing, but it’s all about crimes of the future.

It’s not uncommon for universally acclaimed shows to drop the ball with their ending, as apart from a few notable exceptions, the ending often fails to give a satisfying conclusion to the fans. However, in Yellowstone‘s case, which has remained the undisputed king on the small screen since its debut back in 2018, Ian Bohen stressed the acclaimed show will avoid such setbacks.
With the Taylor Sheridan-led drama set to end with its second half of season 5, Bohen, who plays Ryan on the show, assured fans to brace themselves for one of the best conclusions to a series.

Kevin Costner’s appearance in the final Yellowstone episodes remains undecided. One of the prime attractions of the series was certainly the cowboy John Dutton, played by Costner, who apparently had a lot of female fans. But surprisingly, he was not the only cowboy who stole the hearts of women viewers. Cole Hauser, who plays Rip Wheeler, shared that he couldn’t believe the amount of love he got from the female fans of the Paramount series.

Kevin Costner’s tenure as John Dutton in Yellowstone came to an abrupt end last year due to creative differences with series creator Taylor Sheridan. After a successful four-and-a-half season run, the show is now at a standstill with Costner’s departure causing a huge problem for its continuity. Filming for the second half of the fifth season has not begun yet.

Ian Bohen is hoping to get fans excited about the forthcoming series finale of Yellowstone.
The actor, who plays Ryan in the hit Western show, recently teased in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that “fans are going to get the [best] conclusion that could possibly be written.”
“Everything will land in a way that is perfectly set,” he continued. “A lot of shows just kind of finish… and they don’t satisfy you. This will be completed in a way that it will make sense.”
Though little has been released about part two of the fifth and final season — after part one premiered last year — The Independent recently reported that production for the rest of the season is set to begin in May, as the scripts are already written.

Luke Grimes isn’t mad at his Yellowstone costar Kevin Costner for exiting the hit show.
Grimes plays the youngest son of Costner’s character, John Dutton III, and addressed Costner’s departure in a recent interview with The Independent.
“Whatever happened there is unfortunate if it’s changed anything about how the show was going to unfold,” Grimes said. He added that he knew Costner had become “busy” with his “passion projects,” like his upcoming film, Horizon: An American Saga.
“At a certain point, you gotta do what you gotta do, man,” Grimes said. “You gotta do what you love.”
Paramount announced last June that it would be ending Yellowstone after five seasons. The decision came just a few months after Deadline reported that the network was trying to end the hit Western because Costner wanted to spend less time filming.
Costner hasn’t completely closed the door on a return.

Few actors can make a successful jump from the front of the camera to behind it. While stars like Ben Affleck have navigated this transition, Taylor Sheridan has proved that he isn’t far behind. The star who became a recognizable face on television in shows like Sons of Anarchy and Veronica Mars, found his true calling as a writer with his hugely popular series Yellowstone.

Encouraged by the success of the show, Sheridan went on to create two prequels namely 1883, and its immediate sequel 1923 which starred Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in the lead roles. The series, which has been renewed for a 2nd season, was initially given a different title by the writer, but was subsequently modified following the change in its historical setting.

Luke Grimes is sharing his thoughts on his onscreen dad Kevin Costner’s exit from Yellowstone.
During a recent interview with The Independent, Grimes addressed Costner’s seemingly controversial departure from the hit Western series, saying while it was “unfortunate,” he understands the actor’s decision.

Luke Grimes has played Kayce Dutton on Yellowstone since the very beginning, but the main series will soon be coming to a premature end, largely thanks to the exit of Kevin Costner.
While speaking with The Independent, Grimes was asked about Costner leaving the series. “Whatever happened there is unfortunate if it’s changed anything about how the show was going to unfold,” Gimes said. “I know, [Costner] got busy with his movies that were like passion projects [the newly announced Horizon: An American Saga for one]. At a certain point, you gotta do what you gotta do, man; you gotta do what you love.“

Lawmen: Bass Reeves is an American Western series that premiered late last year. However, it has already received a very positive critical reception, earning an impressive 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and becoming the most watched show worldwide on Paramount+.
The show is clearly destined for a series renewal. However, to the surprise of fans, the show's creators have stated that the second season is likely to be very different from the first.
What is Lawmen: Bass Reeves about?
The Western-themed show follows the story of real-life Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves, the first African-American to hold the position in the Upper Midwest Territory. Also based on The Bass Reeves book trilogy by Sidney Thompson, the plot of each episode follows Reeves (played by David Oyelowo) as he goes from being held as a slave to becoming one of the most famous lawmen in history.

Luca Guadagnino’s tennis relationship drama “Challengers” (Amazon MGM) opens Friday amidst chatter that it represents the rarest of films — a wide-release American sex sizzler, an erotically charged story with young actors with sexual impulses central to its plot.
The marketing forebears for “Challengers” are akin to movies that we’ve not seen in a long time like “Carnal Knowledge,” “Body Heat,” “Don’t Look Now,” and “Fatal Attraction.” These films, where sex can be sweaty and dangerous, were elevated by big stars who dared to play off their images. Other examples include Kevin Costner (“No Way Out”), Debra Winger (“An Officer and a Gentleman”), Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver (“The Year of Living Dangerously”), Jane Fonda (“Klute”), and Warren Beatty.
In the “Challengers” press tour, Zendaya (also a producer here) — with six of her previous seven live-action theatrical releases having domestic grosses of $100 million or more — took pains to dispel...

The red carpet will soon roll out for the 77th Festival de Cannes. The international film festival, playing out May 14-25, has a distinct American voice this year. “Barbie” filmmaker Greta Gerwig is the first U.S. female director name jury president. Many veteran American helmers are heading to the French Rivera resort town. George Lucas, who turns 80 on May 14, will receive an honorary Palme d’Or. Francis Ford Coppola’s much-anticipated “Megalopolis” is screening in competition, as is Paul Schrader’s “Oh Canada.” Kevin Costner’s new Western “Horizon, An American Saga” will premiere out of competition and Oliver Stone’s “Lula” is part of the special screening showcase.

As Yellowstone prepares for its final season, the show’s star, Luke Grimes, has opened up about landing his dream role, the hypocrisy of the show’s critics, and his thoughts on Kevin Costner‘s acrimonious exit. Speaking to the U.K.’s Independent, Grimes admitted it took a little while for him to grow into his role as ranch hand Kayce Dutton, the son of Costner’s John Dutton in the hit neo-Western drama. “I felt like an idiot for the first year of Yellowstone wearing a cowboy hat,” he confessed. “It takes a while before that doesn’t feel ridiculous. Now, I barely notice it.” Despite his awkwardness with his outfit, Grimes, who once lost out on the part of Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies, described his Yellowstone part as his “dream role.” “If I could have figured out my dream role at the age that I got that job,...

Zack Snyder’s early films proved him to be an interesting visionary who had a distinct style to his works.

However, audiences have been divisive about his big screen DC films in the 2010s.

Considering the hit-or-miss nature of Snyder with audiences, the 2020s saw a big change in the director and where he puts his films. Starting from Army of the Dead, his films have only premiered on Netflix. This sudden downgrade from making big-budget studio films for the big screen to just releasing streaming films is surprising but a new report sheds light on how films are greenlit nowadays.

Kevin Costner is planning to shoot Horizon: An American Saga Part 3 and Part 4
Earlier this week, news landed that the UK will definitely be getting Kevin Costner’s upcoming Horizon: An American Saga on the big screen. Costner has co-written, starring and directs the first two films in a planned four movie saga, and both will be in cinemas this summer.
Still, Horizon: An American Saga has cost a reported $100m a film, and Kevin Costner’s plans to shoot the third and fourth chapter looked to have been a little bit delayed. There were reports that he was rattling tins just to tie up the financing, after putting substantial funds into the project himself.
The thinking was that he’d thus wait until the release of Horizon: An American Saga – Part 1 and Horizon: An American Saga – Part 2 before trying to get Part 3 and Part 4 moving. Not so, though. Having...

We still don’t know whether Kevin Costner will be returning to his role as John Dutton for the final stretch of Yellowstone when the back half of Season 5 returns this November. However, some fans have a very clever idea for how the show could finish out the character’s arc by hiring someone else for the role: his Hollywood look-alike Bob Odenkirk to step into Dutton’s scruffy boots! For those unfamiliar with the Odenkirk-Costner connection, the gag comes from the former’s hit series Better Call Saul. In the Breaking Bad prequel, Odenkirk stars as a pre-Saul Goodman version of his character, who still goes by his given name of Jimmy McGill and pulls off lots of minor (but still gnarly) cons on unsuspecting rubes. In one instance, he convinces a pair of girls to come home with him and his best friend on the pretense that he’s Kevin Costner,...

Zack Snyder promised a spectacle with his Rebel Moon franchise following his collaboration with Netflix. After the critical bomb in the first part of Rebel Moon, the sequel followed the same fate. Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver was able to claim only a 52% Rotten Tomatoes score, which was mediocre for a movie of that magnitude.

The franchise has lost the gravity of the essence to make it huge with more installments. The second part could not get close to the first installment, Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire. Also, failed to beat Gal Gadot’s critical bomb Heart of Stone in regards to the viewership numbers.

Taylor Sheridan has made a massive name in television after making Yellowstone for Paramount Network. The neo-Western series starring Kevin Costner has been running for five seasons with numerous spin-offs attached to it. It is commendable that most of the Yellowstone content is written by Sheridan himself. However, his approach was a bit different initially.

Taylor Sheridan did not think about writing most of the series himself from the start. Initially, he wanted to borrow the style of the Arrowverse co-creator Greg Berlanti. Unfortunately, the concept of a writer’s room did not work for Sheridan and he took on the task of telling the tales to the audience the way he wanted.

Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins’ The Shawshank Redemption is undoubtedly one of the best films released in 1994, the same year when Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump were released. While the latter two managed to nab some Oscars, The Shawshank Redemption shockingly went empty-handed, but, it hasn’t undermined its reputation of being one of the best films of that decade.
Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman in The Shawshank Redemption
The inspiring and heartwarming prison drama told the story of one man’s resilience and eventual freedom from being put into prison despite claims of innocence.

Finally: we’ve had confirmation that Horizon: An American Saga, from Kevin Costner, will be heading to UK cinemas this summer.
Long time readers of this site may be aware of my personal levels of excitement surrounded Kevin Costner’s return to directing for the first time since 2003’s Open Range. He’s going for it too with Horizon: An American Saga, a planned collection of four films, of which two have been shot and are being readied for release.
We’ve known for some time that the films – the first of which debuts at the Cannes Film Festival – will be heading to cinemas in the US courtesy of Warner Bros (via New Line). The non-us rights situation had been less clear, but we finally have an answer: Warner Bros is also distributing here in the UK.
What’s more, it’s going to be putting the first two films out into cinemas.
