Release Radar & Most Anticipated Albums for Final Portion of 2025

Fans will find joy in seeing Neve Campbell return as the main character Sidney Prescott in the franchise. After appearing in the original 1996 film and all its sequels Neve Campbell will now rejoin the horror series despite skipping “Scream 6” due to financial disagreements. It may not seem like it at first, but the 1996 disaster movie Twister is a cult classic. Generally, we’d say it doesn’t need to be updated, but Chung made Minari, which was brilliant, so it’s in the queue. The upcoming reboot from Gameloft helps celebrate the 40th anniversary of the classic series and will be released on iOS/Android via Netflix on Jan. 28 before launching globally in March for consoles and PC. Another high-stakes sci-fi adaptation is headed to the big screen, this time from bestselling author Andy Weir.

Together, the three form a gang of badasses determined to rescue billions stolen from them.

Bruce Springsteen, a music legend, will be portrayed by The Bear‘s Jeremy Allen White on the movie quiz big screen this Fall. The film will chronicle the making of Springsteen’s 1982 album “Nebraska,” which marked a turning point in the singer’s own life. White will be joined by Jeremy Strong (Succession, The Apprentice) and Stephen Graham (Adolescence).

The True Stories Behind ‘The Conjuring’ Movies

The film, which is his most expensive film to date, is reportedly a modern update of the Thomas Pynchon novel Vineland. HIM follows a young football player (Tyriq Withers) who gets invited to train with a legendary quarterback (Marlon Wayans) at his private compound. What starts as a dream opportunity turns into a dark journey into the pressures of fame and success. Directed by Justin Tipping, it’s a thriller to keep an eye on this upcoming Fall. In American Sweatshop, Lili Reinhart plays a social media moderator who spends her days removing offensive content from the internet.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

These films, each unique in their own right, are shaping up to be must-sees that will dominate conversations and box office charts alike. Netflix has announced A House of Dynamite, a new film directed by Kathryn Bigelow.

Finally, Assassin’s Creed Goes to Japan

While 2024 provided plenty of great gameplay (and a few disappointments), 2025 has a rather full slate. Rumor is that Charlie Marie is recording a new album with hopes of a release coming soon. Songbird is the first of three albums of unheard, unreleased material from the Waylon Jennings archive that are being produced and arranged by Waylon’s son Shooter Jennings.

The film features McKenna Grace returning as Skye together with Jennifer Hudson and Fortune Feimster but their specific roles remain unannounced in the cast. The film was initially scheduled for a 2027 release, but it was moved up by a year, taking the place of Shrek 5’s release. Gru and the minions, played by Steve Carell and Pierre Coffin, are returning in their roles, but not much is known about the story. The Street Fighter 2026 film is set for March 20th , Kitao Sakurai (Bad Trip) is set to direct. The films follow the original video game plots although details for 2026 remain secret. As someone who aspired to be Dr. Jo Harding as a kid and disappoint my parents by becoming a storm chaser, Twister was my Citizen Kane.

2024 will see the release of such highly-anticipated projects as Furiosa and Deadpool 3, while also giving us the latest films from directors like Bong Joon-ho and George Miller. We’ll go back into the world of Inside Out, return to the original vampire story with Nosferatu, and sing along with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. The spring success of “A Minecraft Movie” was a ray of sunshine for the movie business, which is hoping for many more hits to follow the rest of the year. Not much is known about the new Street Fighter movie, but we do know that the 2026 film has been delayed by two weeks to April 3rd from March 20th partially due to a director switch from Danny and Michael Philippou (Talk to Me) to Kitao Sakurai (Bad Trip). The films are based on the iconic video games with plot details for 2026 still under wraps.

The Living Lands have long been mentioned in Pillars of Eternity, but this is the first time the location has been brought to life. Fans should expect a solid character creator, an intriguing and branching story, and fun, interesting characters. 2023 was a gigantic year for the movies, from the massive success of Barbie and Oppenheimer, to excellent indies like Skinamarink, How to Blow Up a Pipeline and Past Lives. This year, audiences clamored for a theatrical experience, while showing that a great story is more important than brainless action. It’s in this interesting cinematic landscape that we head into 2024, which already shows promise as an equally great year for the movies.

South of Midnight is a stunning, singular third person action-adventure from We Happy Few developer Compulsion Games – the studio’s first release since its acquisition into Xbox Game Studios in 2018. Playing as fearless heroine Hazel, you’ll explore a folklore-drenched Deep South USA on a quest to rescue her grandmother, meeting all sorts of mythic creatures, cryptids, and entities hailing from across the region. Some are redeemable trapped spirits she can set free, while others must be defeated by channeling Hazel’s Weaver magic – and using a blade for good measure.

We’ve had the excellent PlayStation “Spider-Man” games, the underrated “Midnight Suns,” and the surprisingly great “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which fixed most of the issues that people had with its “Avengers” predecessor. You have to go back pretty far to find the last example of a truly bad Marvel video game. The updated movement system and redesigned maps have earned particular praise, quickly shifting player sentiment in a more optimistic direction.

Sydney Sweeney returns to the big screen, this time in mystery-thriller Americana. Directed by Tony Tost, the film centers around a small South Dakota town where numerous people find their lives intertwined in a death match while fighting over an expensive artifact. An early 1960s New York is the setting for James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown.

We don’t know what the plot of the film is yet, but it’s directed by Simon Curtis, who helmed the previous installment, and most of the series regulars are back, along with some recent additions and new faces. Considering The Bad Guys (2022) saw huge commercial success at the box office and on streaming, it’s no surprise that Dreamworks and Universal are doing a sequel. This time around, the Bad Guys grapple with crime-free life as Good Guys when they are confronted by an all-female squad of criminals who prompt them out of retirement for a final hurrah. Mr. Wolf (Sam Rockwell), Mr. Snake (Marc Maron), Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson), Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos), and Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina) will all reprise their roles as the main cast with Pierre Perifel returning to direct and Damon Ramos producing.
