Welcome to October, Stephen King fans! This, of course, is the spookiest month of the year, and it’s thus a favorite time for Constant Readers: the ideal 31-day period to marathon every horrific King movie and perhaps induce nightmares by reading books like Pet Sematary or Revival before bed. As far as new adaptations go, the next one set to arrive is IT: Welcome To Derry, which will be premiering on HBO on October 26 – but for this week’s edition of The King Beat, we’re going to be skipping ahead a bit and talking about the last King blockbuster…

The 2025 movie schedule is about to unleash a film that could very well mark an important milestone for wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson.

Now, Kerr has opened up about visiting the set during filming, and his son’s emotional reaction to seeing Johnson portray him.What Did Mark Kerr Say…
Dwayne Johnson is out to prove himself as a potential Oscar contender with this weekend’s The Smashing Machine, but it looks like The Rock is going to be beaten into submission as Taylor Swift looks set to dance all over his box office debut. While it seemed like the weekend was guaranteed to be Johnson’s thanks to plenty of heavy praise being aimed at the Benny Safdie-directed biopic, Swift’s late-in-the-day addition of Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl to the slate may be about to leave bruises on A24’s MMA flick. For those who are not externally…
As a Swiftie myself, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m always looking for ways to connect whatever Taylor Swift is working on back to Reputation and the potential Taylor’s Version of it. Now, with The Life of a Showgirl’s release, the Swifties (myself included) are doing just that. Yep, there are theories floating around that point to the idea that the vault tracks from Rep could be coming out with this new album, and we have to talk about them.Now, notably, when Taylor Swift got her music back, she published a letter explaining what happened as well as…
Avatar director James Cameron is still putting the finishing touches on Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third part of the sci-fi epic releasing in December 2025. And though he’s likely waiting to see how the third Avatar installment does with audiences, he already has an outline for parts 4 and 5, both of which are still untitled. Cameron has never exactly concealed his plans to continue making Avatar films as part of the original roadmap. Each film is a gamble, of course, especially considering their massive production budgets, but Cameron consistently delivers in terms of profit. Regardless, he also recognizes…
With so many rumors flying around regarding the upcoming Marvel movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it’s never easy to know which ones are totally legit, and which ones should be treated as nonsense. Will this be Tom Holland’s final Spidey movie? Will we see The Punisher getting a sidekick? Those answers and more are still up in the air without more proof, but I can’t deny how intrigued I am by newfound speculation about Charlie Cox’s Daredevil popping up in the webslinger’s next adventure.One big reason why I’m not automatically dismissing these Daredevil rumors is that they’re not just lofty…
Hollywood and action movie icon Sylvester Stallone will join forces with a pair of fellow action movie superstars for a new Amazon MGM Studios project that will reportedly be both globe-hopping and multilingual. Stallone has, of course, been a staple of the action genre for decades now, thanks to roles in the likes of Rambo, Judge Dredd, Demolition Man, Cliffhanger, The Expendables, and many more. Now the actor and Hollywood “Special Ambassador” is rumored to be uniting with a pair of action superstars lesser known to Western audiences.

There are lots of little things celebrities do when they are getting ready for red carpets. Everything from hair and nails to jewelry and makeup is usually carefully thought out and aligned when celebrity fashion is involved. Celebs often look their best on red carpets, but going glam is not always the most realistic representation of who people are and what they really look like. Which is why I’ve been so enamored with Dakota Johnson showing off her tan lines this summer at all kinds of events.Listen, tan lines are super common in the summer. Even celebrities get busy posting…
After spending many years away from Hollywood, 80s child actor Ke Huy Quan came back with a vengeance three decades later, starring in MCU’s highly-rated Loki, and claiming an Oscar for his role in the phenomenal Everything Everywhere All at Once. However, his 2025 Valentine’s-weekend action comedy, Love Hurts, proved to be a divisive flop when it was battered into submission with a $17.5 million worldwide box office that didn’t cover its $18 million budget. However, the R-rated bruiser has now come back fighting to give Quan the last laugh. Whether it is through curiosity, Quan, or the simple fact…
