The "Transformers" movies took a pretty healthy break after the release of 2018's "Bumblebee," even if that wasn't originally the plan that Paramount Pictures had in mind. Regardless, thanks to the pandemic, that's exactly what happened. But with the release of "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" in 2023, the franchise is back with much more to come. Not only are we poised for more live-action movies but we're also getting a feature-length, theatrically-released animated film in the form of "Transformers One."
While the robots in disguise started out as toys, it was in no small part thanks to the '80s animated series, as well as 1986's "Transformers: The Movie" that helped make the Autobots and Decepticons staples of pop culture. So bringing it back around to animation feels like a full-circle moment, and one that may well excite fans who checked out during Michael Bay's later live-action entries. So...

Based on the book ‘The Cabin at the End of the World’, there was little bit of controversy when Knock at the Cabin was released without any information to say this was based on the book or its author Paul Tremblay. But, this may have actually worked out okay for the author, as I’m sure there were many people like myself who finally got around to checking out the book after seeing the trailer. And after finishing the book and very much enjoying it, I was ready to watch the movie.

Knock at the Cabin, the latest thriller from director M. Night Shyamalan (you can read our review Here), was given a theatrical release on February 3rd, and a PVOD release followed just two and a half weeks later. Today, Universal Home Entertainment has given the film its physical media release – you can pick up a copy of the 4K Uhd, Blu-ray, or DVD on Amazon – and to promote this release, they have dropped a batch of behind-the-scenes featurettes online. Those featurettes can be seen at the bottom of this article.
Scripted by Shyamalan, Steve Desmond, and Michael Sherman, Knock at the Cabin has the following synopsis: While vacationing at a remote cabin, a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse. With limited access to the outside world, the family must decide what...

The latest taut horror-thriller from M. Night Shyamalan, Knock at the Cabin has arrived on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD. While there’s no audio commentary, the home video releases include four making-of featurettes: “Choosing Wisely: Behind the Scenes of Knock at the Cabin,” “Tools of the Apocalypse,” “Drawing a Picture,” and “Kristen Cui Shines a Light.”
Totalling about 35 minutes, these extras feature insight from Shyamalan, actors Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Abby Quinn, Rupert Grint, and Kristen Cui, and several key crew members.
Here are seven things I learned from the Knock at the Cabin Blu-ray…
1. Knock at the Cabin came to Shyamalan as a producing opportunity.
Shyamalan originally received the Knock at the Cabin script by Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman as a producing opportunity via his Blinding Edge Pictures before deciding to work on the screenplay and board the project as director.

The author of The Cabin at the End of the World appears to have subtly shaded M Night Shyamalan over the director’s adaptation of his book.
Knock at the Cabin is a forthcoming film adaptation of the acclaimed 2018 novel by celebrated horror author Paul G Tremblay.
The star-studded cast includes Jonathan Groff, Dave Bautista and Rupert Grint.
A new poster was recently released for the film, depicting the four cast members in character.
Not everyone was entirely happy with the promotional material, however, with Tremblay sharing a post on Twitter that alludes to the conspicuous absence of his name from the credits.
“New poster. I dig it. Can’t help but feel like there’s something missing…” he wrote.
On the poster, Shyamalan is credited with directing the film and writing its script together with Steve Desmon and Michael Sherman.

When Universal Posters revealed the trailer for director M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller Knock at the Cabin a couple months ago, they also unveiled a poster that showed a little girl named Wen (played by Kristen Cui) offering a flower to four shadowy figures. Now a second poster for Knock at the Cabin has arrived online, and this one shows the arrival of those four figures at the titular cabin from a different angle. This new poster is called the “4 Horsemen” poster, and can be seen at the bottom of this article, along with the Wen poster.

Scripted by Shyamalan, Steve Desmond, and Michael Sherman, the film has the following synopsis: While vacationing at a remote cabin, a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse.

M. Night Shyamalan is offering a different kind of home-invasion story. The prolific horror director will next year be releasing "Knock at the Cabin," an adaptation of the 2018 novel "The Cabin at the End of the World" by Paul G. Tremblay. The film follows an idyllic family whose woodsy vacation is interrupted when they're faced with an impossible decision.
In the full-length trailer released on Sept. 22, two dads (Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge) arrive at a remote cabin with their young daughter (Kristen Cui). The family's bliss is soon disturbed by the arrival of four strangers.
"The four of us have a very important job to do," Bautista's character, Leonard, says. "In fact, it might be the most important job in the history of the world." Though the trailer doesn't fully give away the details, it's clear the family must make some sort of personal sacrifice to purportedly save humanity from the apocalypse.

Something apocalyptic is coming in the first trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin.
In the first, nearly three-minute look at the upcoming Universal Pictures movie directed by the Old and Servant helmer, Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge play two fathers who take their daughter (Kristen Cui) on a trip to a cabin in the woods.
But as the family gets settled, their relaxing forest getaway morphs into something out of a nightmare when four people — played by Dave Bautista, Rupert Grint, Nikki Amuka-Bird and Abby Quinn — come knocking and take them hostage. And the reason they’re there might be more frightening than the predicament they’re in.

The 16th annual Black List survey was released on Monday, showcasing 80 of the most popular un-produced scripts from up-and-coming screenwriters.
This year’s list was compiled from suggestions of over 375 film executives, who contributed up to 10 feature screenplays that were written in, or somehow uniquely associated with 2020 and will not begin principal photography during the year. Scripts had to receive mentions from at least seven of those executives to be included on this year’s Black List.
The first survey was released in 2005. Since then many of the included scripts have gone on to be produced, often to great acclaim. Among the most notable entries are “Argo,” “Spotlight,” “Juno,” “American Hustle,” “Slumdog Millionaire,” and “The Revenant.” Recent Black List-appearing films include Melina Matsoukas’s 2019 movie “Queen & Slim,” written by Lena Waithe with a story co-authored by James Frey, which was featured on the 2018 Black List; and Emerald Fennell’s “Promising Young Woman,...

Exclusive: Netflix has acquired the worldwide rights to the Sam Feder-directed documentary Disclosure. The feature-length docu is set to debut on the streaming platform on June 19 — a perfect release date considering June is Pride Month.
Disclosure made its premiere at Sundance earlier this year and puts a spotlight on transgender representation in TV and film while showing how it has impacted how Americans feel about members of the trans community and how it has taught trans people to feel about themselves.
Feder not only puts members of the trans community front and center but he also made sure that they were represented behind the camera as well. This way, it was a film about trans people made by trans people, marking a genuine effort of authenticity.
“Disclosure came to life so beautifully because trans people were at the center of production — over 150 trans people were involved, from early research through distribution,...

The 15th annual Black List survey was revealed Monday December 16, and it includes 66 un-produced screenplays from up-and-coming literary talent. Results were pooled from a survey of more than 250 film executives, each of whom contributed the names of up to 10 favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely associated with, 2019 and will not have begun principal photography during this calendar year. This year, scripts had to receive at least six mentions to be included on the Black List.
Since 2005, more than a third of the screenplays included in the annual Black List surveys have become produced films, and often to notoriety — such as “Argo,” “American Hustle,” “Juno,” “The King’s Speech,” “Slumdog Millionaire,” “Spotlight,” “The Revenants,” “The Descendants,” and “Hell or High Water.” Melina Matsoukas’s 2019 film “Queen & Slim,” written by Lena Waithe with a story co-authored by James Frey, was featured on the 2018 Black List.

New Regency has acquired the film rights to the long-gestating adaptation of Richard Brautigan’s Gothic Western novel The Hawkline Monster which the legendary Hal Ashby had been trying to get to the big screen, Deadline has confirmed. Roy Lee (It), Andrew Trapani (Winchester), and Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary) will serve as producers.
The Harold & Maude filmmaker first acquired The Hawkline Monster in 1975, a year after the book was published and attempted to adapt it into a film. Various stars were attached including Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman as well as Jeff and Beau Bridges. Following the death of Brautigan in 1984 and then Ashby in 1988, Tim Burton fell in line to develop the project for Nicholson and Clint Eastwood. The adaptive rights then fell into limbo between the Ashby and Brautigan estates for decades before New Regency picked up the rights.

HBO Films has slotted April 6 as the debut date for Native Son, the Rashid Johnson-directed drama that the premium cabler made a splashy deal for last month at Sundance where the film had its world premiere. This announcement, which was made by HBO Films president Len Amato, also included a first-look teaser. See the video above.
Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, based on the seminal 1940s novel by Richard Wright, the film centers on Bigger Thomas (Ashton Sanders), a young African-American living in Chicago who is hired as a chauffeur for affluent businessman Will Dalton (Bill Camp).

Nick Robinson, KiKi Layne, Elizabeth Marvel, David Alan Grier, and Sanaa Lathan also co-star.

Let me tell ya something Mean Gene! The biopic for, arguably, the world's most influential wrestler of all time has found its leading man, brother! More within...
For much of the 80s and into the 90s, the iconic wrestler known as Hulk Hogan graced our television sets, as the hero of the WWF and our childhood. With him leg dropping opponents like Andre the Giant on WWF, appearing on Nightly Talk Shows, and main eventing Saturday morning cartoons, Hulkamania was indeed running wild all around the world, as the Hulkster became a household name. While he remains a legend to us, he wasn't always so. At one time, Hulk Hogan was known by his given name, Terry Gene Bollea, and spent years grinding through the Florida wrestling circuit, until a man named Vincent Kennedy McMahon took over his father's wrestling promotion and set the world on fire with Hogan (Bollea) as his star.
