When Universal Pictures' plan for an McU-style "Dark Universe" fell apart, Blumhouse wasted no time putting its own spin on those iconic movie monsters. The Invisible Man was among the first and received rave reviews before grossing $144.5 million worldwide on a mere $7 million budget.

While filmmaker Leigh Whannell has since moved on to Wolf Man, there's been chatter for years about him helming a sequel revolving around Elisabeth Moss' "Invisible Woman."

The movie ended by teasing a vigilante-style follow-up and both Jason Blum and James Wan have left the door open to it becoming a reality in previous interviews.

Unfortunately, Whannell doesn't seem overly interested and closed the door on stepping behind the camera for The Invisible Woman while talking to The Hollywood Reporter (via FearHQ.com).

"An ending is the hardest thing to do in screenwriting. It’s the holy grail of screenwriting, and I revere movies with great endings.

Elisabeth Moss starred in the acclaimed horror film The Invisible Man back in 2020 and the film’s director Leigh Whannell is explaining why we won’t ever get a sequel.

The movie was released in February 2020, just as the Covid-19 pandemic was hitting the United States, yet it still grossed $70 million at the domestic box office. The film, which has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, was a hit on streaming and you can currently watch it on Amazon’s Freevee.

While Elisabeth has previously expressed interest in doing a sequel, Leigh says it won’t happen.

It’s time for another episode of the Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? video series, and with this one we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of the serial killer thriller Se7en (watch it Here)! To hear all about it, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by David Fincher from a screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker, Se7en – or Seven, if you prefer – has the following synopsis: When retiring police Detective William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) tackles a final case with the aid of newly transferred David Mills (Brad Pitt), they discover a number of elaborate and grizzly murders. They soon realize they are dealing with a serial killer (Kevin Spacey) who is targeting people he thinks represent one of the seven deadly sins. Somerset also befriends Mills’ wife, Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow), who is pregnant and afraid to raise her child in the crime-riddled city.

This is what the Wtf...

A legendary actor like Denzel Washington is worthy of all the praise he deserves. Along with his skills, his accolades prove the same. However, despite having nine Academy Award nominations and two Oscar wins, he has yet to receive a single BAFTA Award nomination.

The pattern continued recently when Washington’s role in Gladiator II was not acknowledged by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) in their latest nominations. This exclusion from the 2025 BAFTA Awards shortlist has sparked conversations about the possible reasons behind Washington being snubbed from the British award.

Since the start, Denzel Washington’s performances have been a masterclass for the audience. He has earned his place among Hollywood’s elite.

Brad Pitt’s career is like an open invitation to a star-studded dinner party where every seat is filled with iconic roles, juicy scripts, and unforgettable performances. One minute, he’s the charming, smooth-talking con artist in Ocean’s Eleven, the next, he’s the tortured soul with an existential crisis in Fight Club, and in Troy, he’s not just conquering the Colosseum, but stealing hearts like a true Hollywood gladiator.

He has dipped his toes into every genre, from heart-pounding thrillers to intimate dramas, and made each role feel like a tailor-made suit.

Even the brightest stars, it seems, need to take a pause now and then, casting a reflective gaze upon the roads they didn’t take. In fact, Pitt’s career is also laced with “What If?” moments—those iconic roles he could’ve had but walked away from.

It has been over two decades since Denzel Washington screamed ‘King Kong ain’t got sh*t on me’ in the legendary Training Day. The Antoine Fuqua directorial got Washington his second Oscar after he had previously won for Glory. The film was also a commercial success and the legendary combo was set to reunite for an epic gangster film again.

Alas, the workings of Hollywood do not always make way for dreams and Fuqua had to give up his dream of crafting his incredible gangster film with Washington again. The filmmaker mentioned how heartbroken he was after his version of American Gangster was shelved. The film ended up being made by Ridley Scott with Washington in the lead.

When Denzel Washington agreed to star in 2001's "Training Day," his casting attracted some controversy. The issue, it seems, was that the esteemed actor had never played a villain at that time, and the NAACP was adamant that he not squander the good will he'd accumulated over the past decade or so by doing so. For Denzel, however, showcasing his diverse talent overrode any obligation to maintain his clean cut public image, and the star not only proved he was more than capable of playing an antagonist, but won his second Oscar for the effort. All of which makes one wonder about a parallel universe version of Denzel's career — one in which he agreed to play a lead role in David Fincher's "Se7en" back in 1995.

Would the NAACP have objected to Washington starring in what Brad Pitt told the LA Times was "the feel-bad movie of '95"? Fincher's...

Denzel Washington isn’t just an actor, he’s a walking masterclass in how to own the screen. When he steps into a role, it’s game over, because the guy doesn’t just act; he becomes the moment. The dialogue? Electrifying. The presence? Unmatched. Now, pair that kind of energy with Ridley Scott, the visionary behind epics like Gladiator, and you’ve got a cinematic duo that’s hard to beat. That’s exactly what happened with American Gangster.

Playing Frank Lucas, the smooth yet ruthless drug kingpin, Washington didn’t just deliver a performance; he created a legend. Every glance, every word dripped with confidence and danger, making everyone watching think, “This guy runs the world, hands down.”

From ‘Birdeater’ to ‘George A. Romero’s Resident Evil’ documentary of the unmade film, here’s the list of every new horror movie released in the week of January 5-11.

‘Birdeater‘ – Theatrical (Limited) / On Demand

Now, for the first time, Salisbury’s documentary uncovers the hidden story behind the project that captivated...

In Hollywood, several new directors face rejection from big stars because of a lack of trust and other factors involved in making a film. Denzel Washington, one of the veteran stars of the industry, came to regret his decision.

It wasn’t just Denzel Washington, however, who passed on David Fincher’s 1995 classic Se7en. Before Brad Pitt, Fincher had met several actors for the role of Detective Mills. He was met with some ludicrous reasons in return.

Gene Hackman passed on David Fincher’s Se7en

David Fincher is a veteran name in Hollywood now, but back in the day, he started out as a humble director just like everyone else. Fincher had his fair share of rejections, especially with a script as uncommon as that of Se7en.

As Rick and Ilsa taught us all too well on that fateful runway, there are few things more powerful than a heartfelt farewell. To provoke applause from the audience -- or, better yet, that stunned and contemplative silence as they watch the credits still submerged in the final moments of a story well told -- it is critical that a film nail its ending.

Whether through the unveiling of some mind-blowing twist, a sudden insight that changes the way you see the story, or a simple but powerfully human moment earned between two characters, the last sequence of a movie has the capacity to shape your understanding of all that came before -- in and out of the theater. As such, we've taken great care in compiling some of our favorite movie endings of all time, ranking them based on quality, impact, and cultural staying power.

David Fincher’s Se7en is a movie that people still can’t stop talking about, even years after it first came out. The dark thriller, starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Spacey, has a shocking ending that has led to plenty of fan theories. One of the most interesting claims is about a connection between Se7en and Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion.

At the heart of this theory is Gwyneth Paltrow’s severed head. Recently, Fincher shared his thoughts on the rumor, and his answer gives us a glimpse into the effort behind creating such an unforgettable film.

What does David Fincher think about the Gwyneth Paltrow severed head theory?

David Fincher, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Se7en, has addressed one of the most bizarre fan theories surrounding the 1995 thriller. Over the years, some have speculated that the...

Brad Pitt didn’t hold back, and surprisingly, it wasn’t Sylvester Stallone he blamed for Hollywood’s obsession with ripped bodies. While most people credited (or blamed) Sly for turning actors into gym rats, Pitt pointed fingers in a totally unexpected direction.

Ever since this unnamed trendsetter set things in motion, it had been six-packs and bicep curls for anyone wanting to land a major role. And Pitt knew how wild it had gotten.

Brad Pitt dished on Hollywood’s fitness craze during the 2004 Troy press tour. Playing the Og warrior Achilles meant hitting the gym like never before. But Pitt has one man to thank, or blame, for the ripped standards: Robert De Niro.

When David Fincher directed “Se7en” in 1995, his reputation was strangely bifurcated. On the one hand, he was a supremely successful commercial and music video director at the top of his field, having helmed innovative and influential shorts for icons including Madonna, Sting, and Rick Springfield. On the other, his one attempt at feature filmmaking, “Alien 3,” had been a bust — a critical disappointment liked by virtually no one, including Fincher himself. Although it has since developed a bit of a cult following, Fincher disowned “Alien 3” and famously said that he’d rather die of colon cancer than direct another movie.

Luckily for him, and for us, Fincher changed his mind when he came across Andrew Kevin Walker’s script for “Se7en,” a perfectly calibrated blend of intellectual philosophizing and pulpy exploitation that ended up beautifully served by Fincher’s unerring ability to push the psychic trauma the story inflicted...

Good storytellers understand that realism doesn’t mean that the storytelling needs to be the most boring thing imaginable, while the worst storytellers make the mistake of associating blandness with realism. For example, David Fincher is probably one of the best directors working right now who has delivered some of the greatest crime dramas ever, e.g., Se7en, Zodiac, and Mindhunter. Now, Fincher rarely resorts to over-the-top action or melodramatic acting to spice up his narratives. He usually keeps things low-key, to the extent where some accuse his work of being “emotionless,” and yet manages to keep things engaging and thrilling. And even when some of his stories don’t reach a cathartic and climactic conclusion, the journey feels worthwhile. The same can be said about Memories of Murder, Blow Out, The Silence of the Lambs, Insomnia, The Long Goodbye, Ugly, Dahaad, and more. Then there’s this year’s The Breakthrough,...

Bollywood Mascot: Netflix is expanding the Squid Game universe with an exciting new spin-off series. The acclaimed director David Fincher, known for his work on films like Se7en and Gone Girl, may take the helm for this new venture. Set in the United States, the show will bring fresh intensity and darker storytelling that Squid Game fans have come to love. This move comes after the global success of the original series, which sparked a massive fan base worldwide. The development of this project has generated significant buzz, with fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the Squid Game story. Fincher’s potential involvement adds to the anticipation, as his unique directorial style could provide a new layer of suspense and depth to the already gripping narrative.

The expansion of the Squid Game franchise seems to be Netflix’s latest strategy to tap into the success of its global hits.

By 1995, David Fincher was an acclaimed music video director whose studio-micromanaged and -mangled foray into feature filmmaking (1992’s Alien³) proved so exasperating and humiliating that he nearly swore off of making full-length movies ever again. But upon being sent a script about a serial killer who commits a series of gruesome, elaborately staged murders, Fincher found himself sufficiently intrigued to take on the project but only if New Line Cinema didn’t compromise the bleakness of the material. He got his way, and a filmmaker seemingly bound to retreat from Hollywood subsequently emerged as one of its brightest stars of the decade.

Set in an unnamed city so crime-ridden, paranoid, and rotting at the seams that it makes Batman’s Gotham look like Xanadu, Se7en would be bleak and unsettling enough even if it dealt with everyday crime. But the crimes that veteran detective William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and newly...

Using AI in filmmaking is controversial because it could replace human jobs and creativity, raising concerns about actors, writers, and crew losing work. Some worry that AI might make creative choices that lack the emotional depth and personal touch of human filmmakers. There’s also a fear that relying too much on AI could lead to repetitive and less original films.

While these concerns are understandable, one positive use of AI is for fixing mistakes in older films without affecting new releases. David Fincher recently explained how he used AI to fix a small camera error in a bar scene for the 4K and IMAX release of Se7en.

The camera had followed a character too late, showing more of the bar than intended, and Fincher took the opportunity to correct this mistake in the updated version of the film.

Fincher said the performance in the scene was so good that...

Film marketing maven Chris Pula was laid to rest this morning at a funeral held in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. A memorial for his Hollywood friends is being arranged for down the road by friends who worked alongside him in the heyday years at New Line. When Deadline revealed the marketing maven‘s passing in a New Year’s Eve post, the outpouring from the community was exceptionally strong. Especially considering Pula blazed his trail helping to create success for blockbusters from Home Alone to Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, The Sixth Sense and Se7en. And then leaving town abruptly and never looking back.

Whether one is directly part of Hollywood or orbit it as a scoop-chasing journalist, this is an all-consuming industry and we all run hard on our individual versions of a hamster wheel. One can’t help but wonder occasionally what it might be like to simply step off.

The closing lines of David Fincher’s 1995 crime thriller Se7en reveal the bleak yet humane position that Morgan Freeman’s Detective Somerset takes after he witnesses a truly heartbreaking moment with his partner Detective Mills, played by Brad Pitt. Freeman says, “The world is a fine place and is worth fighting for. I agree with the second part.”

The bleak ending is preceded by Pitt’s discovery that his wife, played by Gwyneth Paltrow has been killed, and her dismembered head has been sent to him in a box. Though the audience never sees the contents of the box, it is implied that it is Paltrow’s head. David Fincher recently revealed what the box really had.

David Fincher has revealed how artificial intelligence helped enhance the upcoming 4K remaster of “Se7en,” his landmark 1995 crime thriller starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.

In a new interview with EW, Fincher explained that AI technology helped fix previously undetectable issues. “Throwing this new kind of technological firepower at stuff was, for me, really revelatory,” Fincher said. “We ran into things that heretofore had never been noted. I mean, shots that were fundamentally out of focus that you couldn’t read on film and couldn’t read even in HD.”

Fincher added: “And then you get to 4K downsampling of the 8K scan. And we did end up going in and doing little split screens and using AI to sharpen things so that we could reestablish what was intended to be looked at.”

The remastering process took over a year, with Fincher noting it “could have been twice that” if left to his own devices.

Do you want to feel old? The acclaimed crime thriller often stylized as "Se7en" celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, ringing in 2025 with a re-release in IMAX locations that those who haven't had a chance to enjoy in theaters simply won't want to miss. That milestone also means that those of us of a certain age have spent the better part of three decades reciting one oft-repeated refrain every chance we had: "What's in the box?" If you've never seen the influential David Fincher noir and somehow remain blissfully unaware of what actually goes down in the film's heart-stopping climax, well, this is your cue to leave right now and avoid spoiling one of the biggest filmmaking twists of the 21st century for yourself.

Still here? Good. As if having to watch disgraced actor Kevin Spacey play a total sociopath wasn't already scary enough, fans of Fincher's grimy tale...

For many people, using artificial intelligence in any form is like breaking one of the seven deadly sins. That group might not be happy when they learn that director David Fincher used AI to work on the 4K restoration of his classic “Se7en.”

In an interview with EW, Fincher ahead of the film’s 30th anniversary spoke at length about using AI to help with the restoration process, and why any discussion about generative artificial intelligence shouldn’t be so black and white as just being for it or against it.

Fincher noted that he’s done a digital version of “Se7en” twice before, once for the film’s DVD after its initial release in 1995, and again to bring it into high definition. But he said he underestimated just how much work went into again bringing it up to quality for a 4K version and that his team didn’t...

Tarsem Singh’s The Cell came at the end of a trend of 1990s noir films that merged the conventions of the genre with the aesthetics of music videos. Tarsem himself cut his teeth making music videos, most famously for R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion,” and his first feature at times feels like an assembly of images that strives primarily for visceral impact, throwing cohesiveness to the wind.

The narrative’s lack of connective tissue does make sense in the context of a film that largely takes place in a virtual reality rendering of the subconscious, the product of an experimental technology that becomes a law enforcement tool when the F.B.I. coaxes one of the tech’s researchers, Catherine (Jennifer Lopez), to enter the mind of captured serial killer Carl Stargher (Vincent D’Onofrio) in order to discern the location of a kidnapped woman set to be his next victim.

In 2000, David Fincher was one of Hollywood’s premier directors, known for such classic thrillers as “Fight Club,” “The Game,” and “Se7en” (which gets a 4k re-release this month). So why on earth did Warner Bros. think he was a good fit to helm their “Harry Potter” adaptations?

Armie Hammer recalled his working experience with one director who produced great thrillers with the likes of Brad Pitt. David Fincher is often labeled as a perfectionist on his film sets and he can be pretty difficult to work with at times. Hammer shared that working with Fincher was very scary because of the director’s exceptional filmmaking skills.

Hammer has worked with Fincher in his critically acclaimed film The Social Network. Fincher has worked with Pitt in Se7en, Fight Club, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. While Fight Club earned a nomination for the Best Sound Editing Oscar, the latter film won three Oscars.

In 1995, a few years removed from the critical failure of his debut feature "Alien 3," David Fincher unleashed his second feature film onto the world and proved himself not just a formidable filmmaker, but one of the industry's most promising new voices. That film was "Se7en," featuring Morgan Freeman as veteran detective William Somerset and Brad Pitt's eager detective David Mills. The two are paired together to investigate a series of brutal and twisted murders inspired by each of the seven deadly sins, and thanks to a downright iconic ending scene, "Se7en" has maintained a reputation as one of the greatest crime thrillers of all time.

Recently, Collider's Perri Nemiroff interviewed Fincher about the film 30 years later, and the changes that were made for the new IMAX and 4K physical media releases. Nemiroff noted that Fincher had previously...

Here’s What David Fincher Revealed About The Challenges Of Fight Club’s 4K Release (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The 1999 cult classic action thriller Fight Club is receiving a 4K re-release, offering us a chance to experience the film in a new format. Directed by David Fincher, Fight Club wasn’t a major hit upon its initial release but has since gained a strong following and become a beloved cult classic. The film now boasts an 81% score on the Tomatometer and a remarkable 96% on the Popcornmeter.

In an interview with Collider, Fincher discussed the intricate and challenging process of restoring the film for its 4K re-release. He highlighted that visual flaws that were once hidden are now apparent due to the high-definition nature of 4K. However, the director clarified that he does not intend to remake or alter these scenes.

Fincher strongly believes that doing so would be cheating. According to him,...

While we’re eternally grateful to the likes of Chris Columbus and Alfonso Cuarón, who transformed J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels into stunning visuals, there were several other directors eyed for the project, who ultimately lost or gave up the offer. One among them was the visionary filmmaker David Fincher, known for his cult classic Fight Club.

Given his decorated career spanning over three decades, David Fincher was initially considered to direct the Harry Potter films. But surprisingly, after he pitched his take on the material, Warner Bros. never moved forward with him. Now, in retrospect, we’re more than glad for the way things turned out because Fincher’s take on Rowling’s novel was rather “creepy”.

David Fincher was initially eyed to helm the Harry Potter films

During the early 2000s, in the wake...

David Fincher is already making headlines in 2025 as he prepares to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his 1995 thriller, Se7en, with a 4K restoration on Blu-ray on January 3. Before tackling the grim and gritty world of a deranged serial killer, Fincher shot music videos for artists like Madonna, Paula Abdul, Steve Windwood, Gypsy Kings, Billy Idol, and others. His moody and atmospheric style was too unique to be remanded to music videos alone, and with 1992’s Alien 3, Hollywood had a new premiere filmmaker. Learning about Fincher’s filmmaking methods is something aspiring filmmakers and fans love to experience, and thanks to Collider‘s Peri Nemiroff, we know where Fincher’s head is at with the restoration of Se7en, a film many consider a pillar of the crime-thriller genre.

Concerning Fincher’s approach to restoring a classic, he explained to Nemiroff where he feels he must draw the line, careful...

The wizarding world of Harry Potter could have looked a bit more like “Se7en” if a certain meeting had played out differently.

In a new interview with Variety, David Fincher recalled taking a meeting with Warner Bros. about directing a film in the “Harry Potter” franchise. The director explained that his vision for the series would have leaned into the darker elements of J.K. Rowling’s books.

“I was asked to come in and talk to them about how I would do ‘Harry Potter,’” Fincher said. “I remember saying, ‘I just don’t want to do the clean Hollywood version of it. I want to do something that looks a lot more like ‘Withnail and I,’ and I want it to be kind of creepy.’”

Fincher said that Warner Bros. was more interested in the warmer aspects of the books, so he never became involved: “They were like, ‘We want...

Cartoon Network fans are starting 2025 on a sour note as several beloved animated series have been removed from Max.

Just last month, it was announced that four popular DC animated series—Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go!, Static Shock, and Green Lantern: The Animated Series—would leave the platform by the end of 2024. True to the announcement, these shows disappeared from Max’s library after December 31. But it didn’t stop there.

As of January 1, more fan-favorites have also been removed, including Ed, Edd n’ Eddy, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, The Looney Tunes Show, and the first seven seasons of Teen Titans Go! While the show’s eighth season remains on Max, fans hoping to revisit earlier episodes will have to look elsewhere, like Hulu, where some seasons are still available.

This isn’t the first time Max has upset fans by pulling Cartoon Network content. Over the past year,...

Cartoon Network fans are starting 2025 with disappointment as several beloved animated series have been removed from Max.

Let’s remember that last month, we learned that Max, the streaming home of countless DC shows and movies, is facing some unexpected changes as four fan-favorite DC animated series were set to leave its library by the start of 2025.

Namely, Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go!, Static Shock, and Green Lantern: The Animated Series are no longer available after December 31. However, it seems that those were not the only projects removed from Max’s library starting January 1.

Among the notable titles now missing are the first seven seasons of Teen Titans Go!, the original Teen Titans, Ed, Edd n’ Eddy, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, The Looney Tunes Show, Static Shock, and Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

Brad Pitt has starred in many iconic movies over the years. Be it a serious project like Inglourious Basterds or a fun film like Ocean’s Eleven, he seems to have at least one iconic work in every genre. However, one film has gotten him more attention and acclaim than most.

In 1995, Pitt starred in David Fincher’s Se7en, a film that would go on to become a classic in the actor’s filmography. Not only was it is a very successful film, but it also managed to impress critics to the point that it stands as one of the most iconic works in Fincher’s impressive legacy and even managed to score an Oscar nomination.

Considering the influence and relevance of the film, it is not surprising that it recently being re-released. However, coming back into the theaters could be...

Everyone can agree that Kate Winslet was absolutely perfect as Rose in Titanic. Back then, all the boys wanted to date her, and all the girls wanted to be her. She looked breathtakingly beautiful in the movie, and the performance she delivered was nothing short of phenomenal.

She even managed to convince the entire world that there wasn’t any space left on that wooden door at that pivotal moment. But turns out there was a chance that MCU actress Gwyneth Paltrow could have played Rose instead of Winslet.

Titanic almost had Gwyneth Paltrow as Rose instead of Kate Winslet!

Some movie roles become so iconic that it’s nearly impossible to imagine anyone else playing them. Titanic is a perfect example, cementing Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as Jack and Rose in the hearts of audiences everywhere.

Why Did Denzel Washington Turned Down Brad Pitt’s Role In Se7en? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Imagine this: fresh off Malcolm X and Philadelphia, Denzel Washington could’ve starred in Se7en. But instead, he turned down the role of Detective Mills, and Brad Pitt stepped in, forever cementing his place as a leading man in Hollywood. Washington’s reasoning? Simple: he thought the script was “too demonic.” Fast forward, and while Denzel still regrets passing up the opportunity, we’re all left wondering what might’ve been.

Washington’s “no” to Se7en wasn’t because he was dodging dark material (he’d already taken on heavy roles like Glory). No, it was about the intensity of the script—the whole seven deadly sins thing just didn’t sit right with him. According to Collider, the story felt too grim for his taste. The actor told Jamie Foxx in a 2014 interview.

Should you ever need to give your watchlist some extra oomph, you can't go wrong by referring to IMDb's Top 250 list, which includes some of the best movies that cinema has ever had to offer. The great thing about such a mammoth pile of films is that icons of Hollywood will be popping in more than one entry on the list. Of course, some stars have a greater presence on this compendium than others, and while it might not shock many as to who has the most entries, it's surprising to see who the runner-ups are.

Coming in at the number one spot with the most films in IMDb's Top 250 is the man many believe to be perhaps the best actor ever -- Robert De Niro. Having appeared in over 100 films, nine of De Niro's projects rank among the website's most beloved 250: "The Godfather Part II," "Goodfellas,...

Sarah (Jade Pettyjohn) and her aspiring influencer friends spend the night in a holiday rental on their way to a music festival, but unbeknownst to them they’re being watched on hidden cameras. Their weekend of partying suddenly takes a disturbingly gruesome turn when an uninvited guest arrives with one mission in mind… to make these sinners pay for their wrongdoings.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s A-list star status has certainly been beneficial for her company Goop. Her fame and fortune were what helped fund her lifestyle brand. But according to Paltrow, her star power could also serve as a hindrance to the company’s progress.

Paltrow fell into her new gig as an entrepreneuer after discovering she was really good at giving lifestyle advice. Eventually, Paltrow figured her advice didn’t have to be limited to her inner circle. With the right approach, she could help guide other women to make healthier choices that improved their lives in a variety of ways. Goop seemed like a good way to reach a broader audience.

The ending is the most important part of a movie. It is what creates the effects and emotions the audience is left with. Some endings imprint themselves on viewers’ minds and some continue to amaze audiences no matter how much time has passed.

Movies with cliffhangers and shocking endings that keep the audience on the edge of their seats are hard to come by. With their twisted narratives and layered plotlines, these movies make the viewers question what they think they know. They progress subtly, until the final jaw-dropping scene changes everything and has one thinking about it for days.

The ultimate element of surprise can truly make or break a film. Sometimes, a movie’s performance can be judged on how impactfully it leaves one stunned. Hence, here is a list of movies that can potentially leave one scratching their heads; ranked from better to best.

In 1995, David Fincher pivoted from making a "Blade" movie and instead gave us one of the best neo-noir crime dramas of all time. "Se7en" follows Morgan Freeman as Somerset, a retiring police detective who takes on one final case with the new transfer David Mills (Brad Pitt), only to find himself investigating a string of increasingly gruesome murders perpetrated by an elaborate serial killer.

Decades after its original theatrical release, "Se7en" remains a masterpiece. It's a thrilling cat-and-mouse game with a cast at their peak of their acting powers, along with an eerie atmosphere that can best be described as Gotham City without Batman to protect it (which makes sense since "The Batman" owes so much to this movie). Even if you know what's coming, it's hard not to become so engrossed in the world and the story that you find yourself surprised by the film's shocking ending as if...

There are few films that can capture the forthcoming bad vibes of 2025 better than this one.

The 4K restoration of Se7en was completed at Warner Bros. Discovery’s Motion Picture Imaging (MPI) and was sourced from the original camera negative. The restoration was overseen by director David Fincher.

Scott Nye said at its TCM Classic Film Festival premiere earlier this year, “David Fincher’s 1995 triumph Se7en was restored in 8K for IMAX presentation and an eventual 4K disc release. Fincher appeared in person at the Tcl Chinese IMAX Theater to relay familiar anecdotes––the...

Was Gwyneth Paltrow Offered A Key Role In James Cameron’s Titanic? (Photo Credit – Prime Video/Instagram)

Picture this: Gwyneth Paltrow as Rose in Titanic. Wild, right? It almost happened. Paltrow was right in the mix before Kate Winslet claimed the role and made movie magic with Leonardo DiCaprio. But why didn’t she board the most famous ship in cinema history? It had much to do with corsets, career moves, and James Cameron’s fear of being too predictable.

James Cameron, the mastermind behind Titanic, wanted to avoid the obvious. Winslet was already earning a nickname in Hollywood: “Corset Kate.” By the mid-’90s, she had become synonymous with historical dramas, thanks to roles in Sense and Sensibility, Jude, and Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet. Casting her as Rose, an early 20th-century socialite, felt almost too predictable for Cameron. “I thought, ‘Oh, man, this is going to look like the laziest casting in the world,...
