A new teaser trailer for ‘Dune: Prophecy’ offers a glimpse into the ancient origins of the Bene Gesserit and their rise to power.

Warner Bros. Television is developing a prequel TV series based on the 2006 film ‘300.’ The show is in the early stages of development, and no writer, streamer, or network is currently attached. Zack Snyder, who directed and co-wrote the original film, is in talks to direct and executive produce the series. Deborah Snyder and Wesley Coller would also return as executive producers. Based on the graphic novel series by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, ‘300’ depicts a fictionalized version of the Battle of Thermopylae. The film starred Gerard Butler as King Leonidas, who led 300 Spartan soldiers into battle against King Xerxes of Persia and his 300,000 soldiers. A sequel, ‘300: Rise of an Empire,’ was released in 2014.
Furiosa, the long-awaited prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, offers a distinct cinematic experience from its predecessor. While Fury Road was an adrenaline-pumping, action-packed thrill ride, Furiosa takes a more deliberate, meditative approach, exploring the psychological and environmental themes of its post-apocalyptic world. Its heroine, Furiosa, embarks on a journey of loss, redemption, and the struggle between hope and hopelessness in a desolate and unforgiving landscape.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 is a disappointing follow-up to its franchise’s first installment. While it delivers a few moments of genuine tension and dread, the film never comes close to replicating the disturbing magic of Bertino’s breakout horror hit. The new film polishes away the unsteady, rough-and-ready nature of that now-iconic, late 2000s home invasion thriller and, in doing so, loses the intimate, grounded power that makes The Strangers still so unnerving to this day.

Anderson and is set 10,000 years before the events of the original ‘Dune’.
