Moritz and Roger Kumble who produced (the former) and wrote and directed (the latter) the original film, also served as executive producers.

Back in 2023, we heard that Gene Simmons of the rock band Kiss would be launching a new production company with Gary Hamilton (so the company is appropriately called Simmons/Hamilton Productions), and the first project they had given the greenlight was a shark thriller called Deep Water – with Deep Blue Sea director Renny Harlin attached to take the helm of the film! That film has since made its way through production, and Deadline reports that Magenta Light Studios, the distributor behind last year’s Strange Darling, has acquired the domestic rights to Deep Water, with plans to give it a theatrical release sometime in 2025.

Scripted by Pete Bridges and John Kim, Deep Water centers on an eclectic group of international passengers whose plane, en route from Los Angeles to Shanghai, is forced to make an emergency landing in shark-infested waters. The terrified group is forced to work together and overcome...

Almost exactly a year later, it’s been announced that it now has a US distributor: Magenta Light Studios, which put out last year’s excellent horror thriller, Strange Darling. Deep Water is now set for release in US cinemas this year, which potentially means a UK appearance won’t be too far behind.

The disaster thriller sees Harlin return to the realm of sharks, having previously directed the batty cult favourite Deep Blue Sea in 1999. Starring Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley, Deep Water (not to be confused with the saucy Adrian Lyne film of the same title) is about an LA to Shanghai plane journey that goes awry,...

A lot of shows like Tell Me Lies are equally intriguing, dark, and relationship-focused as the 2020s drama series.

Based on the eponymous novel by Carola Lovering, the series jumps through time to depict the cornerstone moments of their relationship.

Complex relationships and bombshell reveals are particular highlights of the series,...

The Voltron movie starring Henry Cavill has officially begun filming, with the start of production celebrated by a new behind-the-scenes photo. Based on the classic animated series that features a team of space pilots whose robots join together to create the show’s titular super robot, plans for a live-action adaptation of the property have been in place as far back as 2005. However, after languishing in development and passing through multiple hands, the long-anticipated project found fresh life when a new attempt was announced in 2022 and sparked a bidding war from rival studios, ultimately landing at Amazon MGM Studios.

Taking to Instagram, Voltron producer Bob Koplar recently celebrated the commencement of filming by sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the film’s production logo. Featured on the side of a camera, the movie’s logo is reminiscent of the original Voltron logo first created for the original 1984 animated series and sees...

Glistening from her latest step-and-repeat at the 2024 Fashion Awards inside London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall, Rita Ora may have made headlines for a completely different reason. According to UK tabloid The Sun, Ora was enjoying casual conversation when something other than fashion talk was overheard.

“A friend of mine was rubbing shoulders with the singer at the British Fashion Awards when they overheard Rita chatting about her new role,” the article reads. “They told me: ‘Rita was dressed like a baddie from a Marvel film, and when someone commented on it, she let slip she has a part in a new Marvel film. She confirmed she had landed the role of someone evil and that she was super excited about getting stuck into it.’”

The potential reveal has definitely caught some fans off-guard, as no Marvel Cinematic Universe outing has yet to confirm Ora as part of its cast. But...

The showrunners behind the Cruel Intentions reboot detail their plans for season 2. Debuting on Prime Video in November, and taking inspiration from the popular 1999 film starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, the new version focuses on the step-siblings Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont who will do just about anything to maintain their status at Manchester University, including seducing the Vice President's daughter. The cast of the Cruel Intentions reboot includes Sarah Catherine Hook, Zac Burgess, Savannah Lee Smith, Sara Silva, John Harlan Kim, Khobe Clarke, Brooke Lena Johnson, and Sean Patrick Thomas.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunners and executive producers Phoebe Fisher and Sara Goodman address the possibility of the Prime Video drama coming back for season 2. While the showrunning duo makes it clear that they don't yet know whether the series will be renewed, they do have an idea about where the story could go next and it's related to the school year.

The classic '80s animated series Voltron is coming to the big screen in an all-new live-action Hollywood adaptation, and here's everything to know about the upcoming movie. The American cartoon series debuted in 1984 and used footage from the Japanese anime series Beast King Go-Lion (dubbed into English). The basic premise concerns a group of space explorers who pilot a gigantic robot known as Voltron, as they take on various threats throughout the galaxy. Taking advantage of the giant robot craze of the '80s, Voltron quickly became a multimedia franchise across the globe.

Muscling into the territory of franchises like Transformers, the original Voltron series ran for 124 episodes, but things didn't stop there. Voltron would return in several spinoff shows in the '90s and 2000s before enjoying an 8-season run (between 2016 and 2018) in Voltron: Legendary Defender. Even though comic books, video games, and an abundance of toys helped to expand the lore,...

As Hollywood continues to remake past hits, it's no surprise that the '90s cult classic Cruel Intentions is now a Prime Video series. Starring Sarah Catherine Hook (First Kill), Zac Burgess (Boy Swallows Universe), and Savannah Lee Smith (Gossip Girl), this adaptation of the unforgettably devious 1999 film and Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's novel retells the sultry story of a bet between two wealthy and dysfunctional step-siblings in a modern-day setting.

Hook takes on the viciously manipulative Caroline Merteuil, inspired by Sarah Michelle Gellar's Kathryn, alongside Burgess, who acts as her playboy step-brother Lucien, based on Ryan Phillippe's selfish and brooding Sebastian. Caught in the middle of their mind games is Smith's Annie Grover, the inexperienced daughter of the U.S. Vice President, who's reminiscent of Reese Witherspoon's virginal Annette Hargrove.

Although the teen romantic drama pulls inspiration from the originals, the show stands on its own.

Netflix has shared disappointing news for fans of the Voltron franchise. The streaming service's critically acclaimed Voltron: Legendary Defender reboot will be removed from the platform next week.

DreamWorks and Netflix's Voltron: Legendary Defender premiered in 2016 and released 78 episodes over 8 seasons. The final season of the animated series aired on Netflix in December 2018. Earlier this year, it was reported that the Voltron reboot series would be departing from Netflix, with the official Voltron Instagram account responding and saying, "Discussions are ongoing. When we know, you'll know." It appears as if negotiations to keep the show on Netflix fell through, and it remains uncertain where (or even if) fans will have a way to legally stream the series in the future. Voltron: Legendary Defender will be removed from Netflix on Dec. 6.

Warning: spoilers for Prime Videos Cruel Intentions TV show.

The Cruel Intentions TV show is not just about Carolines (Sarah Catherine Hook) plan and bet with Lucien (Zac Burgess), as there's also Blaises (John Harlan Kim) plan, which involves the President of his fraternity. Based on the 1999 movie by Roger Krumble and the 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses, by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, Cruel Intentions introduces a new group of wealthy teenagers who know no limits when it comes to getting what they want and benefiting themselves. At the front and center are step-siblings Caroline and Lucien, who agree on a bet involving the Vice Presidents daughter, Annie Grover (Savannah Lee Smith).

Caroline wants Lucien to seduce and sleep with Annie so they can convince her to join her sorority, Delta Phi, thus saving it from an anti-Greek movement on campus. Lucien is part of Delta Phis sister fraternity, Alpha Gamma,...

Aside from the wicked appeal of racy teenage drama, one of the key hooks that made the original Cruel Intentions a cult classic was the allure and charm of the relationship dynamics among the lead trio played by Sarah Michelle Gellar (Kathryn Merteuil), Ryan Phillippe (Sebastian Valmont), and Reese Witherspoon (Annette Hargrove). Given the risqué nature of the narrative, without support from a competent cast and proper characterization, the movie could have gone either way, but fortunately, it fared well in the end. The same challenge was faced by the recently released Amazon Prime TV series adaptation of the same name, which followed a similar premise of sex, politics, and influence-oriented powerplay orchestrated by stepsibling duo Lucien and Caroline. Aside from the fact that a story like this shouldn’t have been stretched to an eight-episode series in the first place, the character writing and acting on this occasion feels...

Prime Video's Cruel Intentions follows the students of Manchester College, a prestigious school that turns young aristocrats into the future leaders of America, whether they're qualified or not. In this cutthroat academy, students are either manipulative sociopaths, their hapless pawns, or their unfortunate victims. The series is based on the 1999 film of the same name, as well as the original source material, the 1782 novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

Two of the more sympathetic students in the new Cruel Intentions story are Scott and Blaise, played by Khobe Clarke and John Kim, respectively. Scott is a good-natured but helplessly naive student who becomes president of the frat house through no effort of his own, while Blaise acts as his handler, ostensibly serving as Scott's right-hand man while manipulating him to his own ends.

Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers for “Cruel Intentions,” both the 1999 film and the entire first season of the new Prime Video series.”

Twenty-five years later, “Cruel Intentions” will still make you blush.

The 1999 film about high-society stepsiblings Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe) and Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar) curing their privileged boredom by corrupting the last shreds of innocence in their peers feels both ahead of its time and like a movie that could never be made today. Littered with culturally insensitive language and driven by unbridled, often taboo sexuality, it was a cultural shock to the system in the waning days of the last millennium.

Replicating even a shred of that ethos was one of the many challenges facing this new version of the story. But perhaps the tallest order for “Cruel Intentions” was making a timeless tale of striving for power through sex feel relevant and revolutionary in the era of Gen Z,...

Despite being part of the same franchise and having the same premise, Prime Videos Cruel Intentions TV show is very different from the 1999 movie of the same name. Directed by Roger Kumble and based on the 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses, by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, Cruel Intentions follows step-siblings Kathryn Merteuil (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Sebastian Valmont (Ryan Phillippe), who make a bet for their entertainment that involves the daughter of their schools new headmaster, Annette Hargrove (Reese Witherspoon). Cruel Intentions spawned a failed prequel and a sequel, and has now returned as a TV show.

The Cruel Intentions TV show centers on wealthy step-siblings Caroline Merteuil (Sarah Catherine Hook) and Lucien Belmont (Zac Burgess), who also get involved in a bet but for very different reasons than that between Kathryn and Sebastian. Parallel to that are Carolines plans to get Annie Grover (Savannah Lee Smith) to join her sorority,...

The following contains spoilers from 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 8, "Wannabes," which debuted Thursday, Nov. 21 on ABC. It also contains mention of suicidal tendencies.

It's strange that 9-1-1 lets a recurring character take center stage before its four-month hiatus. No, Harry Grant, May Grant and Ravi Panikkar haven't returned to bless the show with their presence (where in the world are they?). Brad Torrance becomes the leading man he was born to play in 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 8, "Wannabes," and seemingly closes out his time on the series as he returns to his fictional TV show Hotshots.

"Wannabes" being the midseason finale ironically encapsulates the essence of the story. It's a very middle of the road, lukewarm episode that is stalling for time. 9-1-1 is building up to something, but it hasn't figured out what exactly. Otherwise, the midseason finale wouldn't be spent on a few disconnected disasters resolved...

“Cruel Intentions” is getting a new life in Prime Video’s TV series adaptation, which takes the twisted tale to collegiate Greek life.

Sarah Catherine Hook and Zac Burgess star as Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont, respectively, step siblings who strike up a malicious deal for Lucien to seduce the VP’s daughter, Annie Grover (Savannah Lee Smith), who Caroline sees as her ticket to make her sorority untouchable amid backlash for a controversial hazing incident.

The main characters follow closely in the footsteps of the 1999 movie, Selma Blair’s Cecile Caldwell transforming into Sara Silva’s CeCe Carroway. Sean Patrick Thomas also reprises his role from the movie as CeCe’s love interest, but with more of an age difference this time.

Sarah Catherine Hook as Caroline Merteuil...

Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television partied like it was 1999 on Tuesday for the premiere of its Cruel Intentions reimagining in Los Angeles.

Set at the fictional Manchester College in Washington D.C., co-creators Sara Goodman and Phoebe Fisher explained to Deadline what inspired the setting for their update of the ’99 Roger Kumble-helmed teen film and the 1782 French novel Dangerous Liaisons, and how they continued to “focus on that sexiness” from its source materials.

“Greek Life was a place that we hadn’t really seen as a royal court, as a place that has all of these kinds of rites and rituals in modern society still, but that still feels sort of antiquated” said Goodman. “In the best way — we love our Greeks. But I think we really wanted that kind of rarified world where reputation means everything and you’re in or you’re out, and all...

In the late 1990s, “Cruel Intentions” hit theaters, adapting Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ classic novel into a fabulously scandalous teen drama. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Reese Witherspoon became immediate stars after creating a picture that captured the raw, deceptive spirit of young, wealthy socialites. Prime Video has decided to revive this iconic narrative, moving its DNA from Manhattan’s exclusive prep school world to the ruthless landscape of Washington, D.C.’s Manchester College.

The 2024 remake reimagines the original’s central relationships through the viewpoint of contemporary collegiate Greek life. Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont, step-siblings, are in the center, operating with the same precise precision as their predecessors. Caroline, the cruel Delta Phi sorority president, and Lucien, Alpha Gamma fraternity treasurer, uphold the heritage of psychological warfare and sexual exploitation.

This time, the stakes are higher than just a teenager’s reputation; they now entail political power.
