We finally got the second season of House of the Dragon, but each episode will be released once a week – which can be a real torture for fans.
To make the wait a little easier, we have chosen nine projects that are not only similar to House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, but were even pioneers on the path that these two projects later took.
1. The Hollow Crown, 2012-2016
If it weren't for the Wars of the Roses, which shook the English kingdom in the 15th century, and William Shakespeare's striking (though far from reliable) description of it, there would be no Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon.
Shakespeare's plays have been filmed many times, but in 2012 the BBC decided on a new, large-scale and modern adaptation of five works under one title The Hollow Crown. The creators tried to show the period as authentically as possible,...

Kathryn Bigelow‘s upcoming Netflix film is shaping up after the additions of Idris Elba and Rebecca Fergusson as Gabriel Basso and Jared Harris enter final negotiations to join the cast.
Nearly everything about this movie remains secret, from the title to the synopsis to the stars’ roles. According to Deadline, the story revolves around the White House, where a crisis erupts. While there’s not much to go on, it’s not impossible to imagine Elba, Fergusson, Basso, and Harris leading a political thriller.
It’s been a while since Bigelow shot a feature film. Her last effort was the crime drama Detroit, which starred John Boyega, Anthony Mackie, Algee Smith, Will Poulter, Kaitlyn Dever, and Jacob Latimore. The fact-based drama, focusing on the 1967 Detroit riots, follows a group of rogue police officers who respond to a complaint with retribution rather than justice.

Exclusive: Gabriel Basso (The Night Agent) and Jared Harris (Chernobyl) are in final negotiations to join Netflix’s new film from Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow, according to multiple sources.
No word on the roles they’ll be playing, but they join an ensemble that will be led by Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, as previously reported. The film’s title and plot remain under wraps, though sources have told Deadline that it will be set at the White House as a national crisis unfolds.
The project marks Bigelow’s first feature since the 2017 thriller Detroit, an awards contender produced and distributed by Annapurna Pictures, which starred John Boyega, Will Poulter, Kaitlyn Dever and more. News of the film was first divulged by Netflix recently during its Upfront presentation in New York, which also saw them spotlight upcoming films including Happy Gilmore 2 and the thriller The Woman in Cabin 10 starring Keira Knightley.

The Crown star Imelda Staunton has joined the list of the UK’s celebrated acting dames, after being given the title in the King’s Birthday Honors list.
Staunton, whose six-decade career includes her role of Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter films and the title role in the movie Vera Drake, will join previous acting recipients of the honor, including Emma Thompson, Eileen Atkins, Harriet Walter, Penelope Wilton and Maggie Smith.
The BBC reports Staunton responded to the announcement of her new title: “Theater, film and television are essential to our well-being, stand at the heart of our culture, and are admired throughout the world. I am proud to play my part in this important industry.”
The most heartwarming recognition in this year’s list goes to Alan Bates, the campaigner whose real-life story was told in the hit drama Mr Bates Vs. The Post Office. Bates spent years...

Things seem to be moving pretty quickly on her new film, following the scrapping of Kathryn Bigelow’s previous Netflix project.
After a protracted period of development, it was with some dismay that we learned back in April that Netflix wouldn’t be moving forward with Kathryn Bigelow’s planned film Aurora. As you likely know, there’s been a change in leadership at the streaming platform’s film division and Bigelow’s project – her first since 2017’s Detroit – was deemed as no longer suitable due to budgetary reasons.
On the bright side though, Netflix quickly announced that the Point Break and Zero Dark Thirty filmmaker would be directing a different project with it, and thankfully, things seem to be running much more smoothly this time.

Chris Pratt is now an A-list movie star starring in some of the biggest franchises and also having the star power to draw audiences to theaters. The actor has worked hard since the beginning of his career and deserves his current fame and success. However, the actor did not have the greatest life while he was growing up as a kid.

Pratt’s humility and relatability stem from his humble beginnings where he couldn’t afford everything he wanted. His family had very little money at the time and he couldn’t even buy comic books. This made him understand the value of money and the struggle to earn even a buck in real life.

Katheryn Bigelow will be getting back in the director’s chair for the first time since 2017’s historical drama Detroit. Bigelow was known for some beloved titles in the 90s, including Point Break and a movie that we’ve featured on a video about films that are hard to find — Strange Days. Bigelow reached new success when she directed The Hurt Locker in 2008, which would go on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. She would then follow that film up with Zero Dark Thirty. Deadline reports that not only is Bigelow directing a new film for Netflix, but she may lock down two stars for her film with Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson.
As of now, the roles that Elba and Ferguson are playing have not been disclosed. Neither has the plot or title of the upcoming film. According to Deadline, the only known detail of the movie...

Idris Elba (Hijack) and Rebecca Ferguson (Silo) are circling roles in Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow’s next film for Netflix, sources have confirmed to Deadline.
Details as to the roles the pair are playing are under wraps, as are the film’s title and plot, though sources have told Deadline that it will be set at the White House as a national crisis unfolds.

News of the film was first divulged by Netflix recently during its Upfront presentation in New York. Previously, Bigelow had been developing another Netflix film that never got off the ground — an adaptation of the novel Aurora from David Koepp.

Rebecca Ferguson doesn’t mind people knowing she’s claustrophobic. “Expose it!” she says. “I’m quite happy people know because if they listen, they’ll be like, ‘Okay, good to know, she’ll take the stairs when she comes.’”
The topic arose when Ferguson dropped by the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast and took the five flights of stairs up to the studio rather than get in an elevator. She is also, in her words, “a human Jason Bourne” of sorts – meaning she assesses her surroundings wherever she goes and registers such things as which way the doors swing. Today, she has already clocked that the doors to the room open inward, which means she won’t be able to kick it open if trapped. So instead, we’ve left a little ajar. She adds that this extends to every location: “Going to public loos – it’s an issue!”

One of the best TV shows of 2023, Apple TV+’s dystopian sci-fi thriller Silo has it all. Murder! Mystery! Rebecca Ferguson! A mile-deep subterranean structure that acts as a barrier betweeen humanity’s dwindling populace and the apocalyptic wasteland on the Earth’s surface! In fact, so popular proved the adaptation of Hugh Howey’s novels that before the first season had even finished, the streamer greenlit Season 2. Now, having teased “more secrets of the silo to be revealed,” Apple have shared some juicy first look images from our upcoming return to the down deep. Check them out:
At the end of Silo’s first season – Spoiler Alert! – we saw engineer-turned-marshal Juliette (Ferguson) finally leaving the titular superstructure and stepping out onto the surface world. There, she discovered that the verdant utopia she suspected The Founders were hiding from the Silo’s residents was in fact a VR simulation; that...

Apple TV+ just dropped four sneak peeks from Season 2 of Silo, and all people can talk about is Rebecca Ferguson, and the absolute show-stealer she is. With her dazzling presence, Ferguson might just challenge Sigourney Weaver’s throne as the sci-fi queen.

We’re getting a look at some of the first footage for Season 2 of both Severance and Silo. It was released today at the 2024 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference as part of a “Coming to Apple TV+” teaser video.
The video opens with the return of Adam Scott’s Mark Scout to Lumen Industries. Director and executive producer Ben Stiller took to Instagram in January to confirm that the Apple TV+ drama series had returned to production after a months-long delay due to the Hollywood strikes.

Exclusive: Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan and their production company Kilter Films, which they run alongside longtime producing partner Athena Wickham, have signed with CAA for representation.
The signing comes off the success of Prime Video’s Fallout, on which Joy and Nolan serve as executive producers, with Nolan directing the first three episodes. The acclaimed series quickly became one of the most-watched titles ever on the Amazon platform and has been renewed for a second season. The duo had been with WME prior to signing with CAA.
In television, Nolan and Joy were co-creators, showrunners, executive producers, writers and directors of the award-winning HBO original series Westworld, which ran for four seasons and was nominated for 54 Primetime Emmys including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series, and Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series.

Though they're undeniably successful, large parts of Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" movies can come off a little bleak. Still, there's no denying the sheer coolness factor of the ornithopters. The aircraft used by House Atreides to traverse the desert landscapes of the planet Arrakis are one of the most memorable elements of the "Dune" aesthetic, combining the form of a dragonfly with elements of helicopter design and producing something so visually striking that Lego has since produced one of the coolest building brick vehicles ever with its ornithopter set.
Production designer Patrice Vermette began working on the ornithopter back in 2018 and drew from a multitude of inspirations, including insects and birds on the natural side of things and helicopters on the more technological side. Once the design had been nailed down, the production team actually built large parts of the 'thopters to allow the "Dune" actors to interact with the hardware.

Netflix continues its long-standing tradition of dropping more and more flicks and shows from previous years, filling its already infinite collection up, and next month will mark yet another arrival of a movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
The streaming has recently welcomed the Gyllenhaal-led thriller Nocturnal Animals and is set to add a 2017 sci-fi horror with the actor in the leading role in July.
Also starring Rebecca Ferguson and Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Espinosa’s movie titled Life follows three astronauts and the rest of the crew aboard the International Space Station who succeed in finding evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars.
The seemingly exciting discovery turns into the crew members’ worst nightmare as they realize that the life-form they have been exploring is much more intelligent and dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined.

British stars Keira Knightley, Cara Delevingne, Carey Mulligan, Rebecca Ferguson, Naomie Harris and Emerald Fennell have penned an open letter demanding a crackdown on bullying and sexual harassment in the U.K.’s entertainment industry.
The group are just six of 25 names who called on creative organizations to help fund a new watchdog, the Creative Industry Independent Standards Authority (Ciisa), to investigate complaints in industries spanning music, film, TV and theater.
The letter reads: “So many of us in this industry would have loved to have an objective outside body that we could go to for advice, for mediation and in the very extreme circumstances, that we might need some outside body to hold people accountable for the bad behavior or bad practices that sometimes happen on our sets, on our stages, behind the scenes.

Nowadays, the quality of a TV series is practically no different from a movie, and the possibilities for directors, writers and artists are expanding. This attracts professionals to TV series production, TV shows budgets are growing, and as a result, the visual style is becoming more sophisticated, and the narratives become more and more complex.
Silo is One of the Most Promising Sci-Fi Projects Now
On June 29, 2023, one of such projects, the sci-fi series Silo by Graham Yost, based on the first novel of the book series of the same name by Hugh Howey, ended its first season on Apple TV+. And now we can definitely say that this series has become one of the main events in the genre over the past few years.

"Dune: Part Two" may have been a bit of a bleak blockbuster, but compared to its predecessor, 2021's "Dune," it's positively refulgent. While the first movie spent a lot of time on exposition and establishing the rules of Denis Villeneuve's interpretation of Frank Herbert's 1965 novel, "Part Two" signals that it's a much more action-packed and visually diverse affair right from the off.
As the film opens, we join a team of Harkonnen hunters on the barren plains of the planet Arrakis. The group are hunting Fremen, the native inhabitants of the desert planet who have recently been joined by Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides and Rebecca Ferguson's Lady Jessica. After we witness the villainous cohort evade a potential sandworm attack by way of their anti-gravity packs — a peak sci-fi moment for cinematographer Greig Fraser — they suddenly come...

Rebecca Ferguson is quickly becoming a titan of the entertainment industry and she’s embracing it. She’s starred in blockbuster franchises like “Mission Impossible” and “Dune,” runaway hits like the musical “The Greatest Showman,” and is now — along with her lead role on the show — taking on the position of executive producer on the Apple TV+ smash “Silo.” In a recent interview on the “Unwrapped” podcast, Ferguson shared how her declining the role of Juliette Nichols led to her being brought on to the larger production team.
“They’re asking for a big dedication here,” Ferguson said of being offered the part. “It’s asking for me to do four seasons of a show. I need to be yearning for this. And there were a couple of things that I wasn’t really loving. So I turned it down and then they came back and they were like, what...

Science fiction and fantasy have inspired dozens of great television scores through the years, from “Battlestar Galactica” to “Game of Thrones.” Three more streaming series continued that tradition this season: “Silo,” “Fallout” and “3 Body Problem.”
Atli Örvarsson’s music for “Silo,” the Apple TV+ dystopian drama set in a bleak future where everyone lives in underground silos, was initially inspired by the setting. “It’s a mechanized world,” he says. “The technology you see is very, very old; the computers look like they’re from the ’80s, so there was always this idea that even the electronic sounds should be primitive, not slick.”
So he relied on Korg and Moog synthesizers from earlier eras, along with an unusual keyboard: the magnetic resonator piano, which uses electromagnets to create unusual sounds from the strings inside the instrument. “There’s a steampunk feel to the design of the show, and this is the ultimate steampunk instrument,...

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two made numerous headlines by becoming the highest-grossing film of the year, thus far. While the performances were brilliant, the film’s technical department also attracted immense praise. One of the standout aspects of the film is its breathtaking makeup.
Renowned makeup artist Donald Mowat worked in the makeup department in both parts of Dune. Mowat also secured an Oscar nomination for his work in the 2021 film. Interestingly, the Dune films could have never achieved such make-up work, had the makeup artist not left another major project.

Donald Mowat had to make a tough decision when he was burdened to choose between Dune and No Time to Die. Both were highly anticipated films and the Canadian makeup fame knew that he would surely disappoint a friend as both parties were his regular collaborators.

At 35, Glen Powell has quickly risen to fame as one of Hollywood’s currently most desired faces. The acclaimed actor, with his acting prowess and stunning physique, quickly gained prominence following his breakout role in the comedy-horror Scream Queens and arguably one of his most passionate projects yet alongside Tom Cruise in 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick.
However, he already had one of his foot into the showbiz territory as far back as when he was 13 with a role in a now cult-classic franchise.

What Do We Know About Dune Prophecy? More than you may think. With the second part of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction novel a critical and box office success, it is going to be several years before we see the next feature film in the series, Dune Messiah. Luckily, production on the small-screen prequel /spin-off was concurrent with Dune: Part Two which means before the end of the year we are going to return to the fictional realms of Arrakis, Geidi Prime, and more via Max.
While not much in the way of footage has made its way online, there have been quite a few reveals about Dune Prophecy, so let’s jump in and discuss.
Denis Villeneuve is not directing any episodes

HBO broadcast its first women’s boxing bout, between Kali Reis and Cecilia Brækhus, in 2018. Just six years later, Reis is one of the stars on HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country,” where she plays Detective Evangeline Navarro alongside Jodie Foster. That could very well be the first time any HBO lead was first seen on the pay cabler in a boxing match.
“What’s really great about this whole journey is that things that are so far fetched are like not impossible in some part of my brain that understands that it’s a possibility,” Reis tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast. “And I think that’s one of the many things that keeps me grinding so hard.”

One would think Christopher Nolan holds the ultimate power over his movies. Thus, it would be rare for anyone to challenge his vision. Yet, Leonardo DiCaprio, being Leonardo DiCaprio, achieved the impossible and persuaded Nolan to alter his approach to crafting Inception. This collaboration birthed a cinematic masterpiece, to say the least.

Director Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" films are incredible feats of adaptation, bringing a vibrancy and modern sheen of tactility to Frank Herbert's 1965 sci-fi novel. The world-building is jaw-dropping, whether it's in the orange-tinged Harkonnen anti-gravity attack of "Dune: Part Two," or the deranged character choices of the film's villains; everything we see feels like it belongs in this universe, and the world feels so fully realized that it's easy to imagine ravenous fans spending hours taking deep dives into the films' expansive lore.
Case in point: The relatively short scene involving Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) entering the Maker's Temple and meeting the Maker Keeper (Alison Halstead), who lures a baby sandworm into her waiting arms ... only to drown it in order to extract the Water of Life from its corpse. The film tells you just enough so you can understand what's happening,...

The production of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune films is beyond impressive; a story set in the backdrop of an arid desert landscape will always be a sight to behold. This, however, is not an easy movie to make. Interestingly, the director planned to shoot the movies back-to-back.
Dune (2021)
Of course, it did not get off the ground, and Villeneuve looked at this as a blessing in disguise. Shooting in the hot desert is never a comfortable feeling, much worse if he overexerted himself and the cast and crew.

In an interview with Variety, director Denis Villeneuve confirmed that he originally planned to shoot Dune Part One and Two at the same time.

The Dune franchise started in 2022 with Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 1. Starring Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Bardem, Zendaya, and Florence Pugh among others, the two movies became massive hits. And while Villeneuve will complete his Dune trilogy with the concluding Dune: Messiah, the studios have something else for us to feast on until the third movie is ready.

For a universe that lies thousands of years in the future, it becomes important to honor the past and learn the history of oneʼs lineage and inheritance. This is where Dune: Prophecy comes in to teach us the lores and mythologies that build the exceptionally vast universe of Frank Herbertʼs Dune. The 1965 novel that set a precedent for science fiction and dystopia has now been adapted by Warner Bros. for a television adaptation following the massive success of Denis Villeneuveʼs epic franchise.

Instead, Dune: Prophecy studies the faction of the Bene Gesserit and traces their origin back to the past, 10,000 years before the birth of Paul Atreides.
