The actor played villain Dreykov in the Scarlett Johansson-led 2021 spy thriller.

Helldivers 2 has prompted a debate on social media: Is the game actually a satire of fascism? And if so, is it worrying that some people don’t seem aware of that?

Apple TV+ has ordered a series adaptation of the William Gibson novel "Neuromancer," Variety has learned.

Star Wars is a beloved franchise that has delighted fans for decades, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. However, sometimes things you love can have flaws. In this case, MAJOR flaws, frustratingly major flaws. Fans are sharing which scenes in the Star Wars movies they find...

There’s a moment late in Denis Villeneuve’s sweeping sci-fi epic “Dune: Part Two,” when the camera lingers on a hand emerging out of desert sand, forming into a fist.

You would think it's too early in the week to already have a contender for the most randomized-sounding headline of the week, but here we are. A sci-fi jukebox musical based on the music of the Goo Goo Dolls is set to premiere next week.

The musical is called Here Is Gone, and will feature tracks like "Name," "Truth Is A Whisper," "Feel The Silence" and "Black Balloon."It's described as "a dystopian sci-fi story that imagines a future world where dreaming has been made illegal."

1979's Alien stands tall as one of the greatest sci-fi horror movies in history. The claustrophobic tale of the crew of the Nostromo being picked off by a Xenomorph on their ship is as a terrifying as ever, and it's a must-watch for all movie fans.

As time has passed, more and more details have emerged about the making of this classic. One notable detail pertains to one of the film's most iconic scenes.

You'll cry, but you won't be mad about it. A powerful supernatural drama by Andrew Haigh just started streaming, and it deserves the attention it never fully got in theaters.

After browsing through this list, it becomes clear that the producers were right to go for sci-fi productions without science, as all of them turned out to be huge box office hits.

Not every movie needs to have a scientific basis like Interstellar,"and these 10 great movies certainly prove that. Even if fans are denied the chance to learn more about the worlds of these movies in a scientific way, it does not take away from the sheer excitement of watching a movie with fantastical elements.

We can hate on Hollywood's oversimplification tactics all we want, but the idea of producing sci-fi movies without boring audiences with redundant scientific details has certainly stood the test of time.

Here are all the films mentioned: Armageddon (1998), The Day After Tomorrow (2004), The Core (2003), Lucy (2014), Transformers (2007-2019), 2012 (2009), What The #$*! Do We (K)now!? (2004), Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008), The Happening (2008), I Am Legend (2007).

Goyer will continue to write for the series as producer Bill Bost steps up to take the reins during season three filming.

Once again, the biblical solemnity of Villeneuve's approach - along with the tactile brutalism of his design - have combined into a Timothée Chalamet movie that shimmers with the patina of an epic myth. And once again, the awesome spectacle that Villeneuve mines from all that scenery is betrayed by the smallness of the human drama he stages against it, with the majesty of the movie's first hour desiccating into the stuff of pure tedium as Paul Atreides struggles to find his voice amid the visions that compel him forward. It's a struggle that "Dune: Part Two" continues to embody all too well.

This isn't quite the same common - and admittedly boring - criticism that's been leveled against massive studio movies since the industry first started making them. This isn't a case of sound and fury signifying nothing, or one of special effects signifying even less. The artistry of this film's craftsmanship and the sincerity of its application would in and of themselves make it disingenuous to compare "Dune: Part Two" to the likes of, say, "Jurassic World" and Disney's "live-action" remake of "The Lion King."

But there's a more important distinction at play: Where those creatively bankrupt examples - motivated by desperate market forces - suffered from the mistaken belief that the future is a foregone conclusion no matter how awful it looks, "Dune" is an auteur-driven story about a reluctant messiah who's tortured by his role in a terrible prophecy that only he has the power to stop. And yet, we're never given any reason to think that Paul might actually do it, or even to care if he can.

Steve Miller was a prolific author in the science fiction community, having written hundreds of stories with his wife, Sharon Lee. They built a dedicated following and sold millions of books worldwide.

Rumors are flying that Apple will make William Gibson's 'Neuromancer' into a TV series. But who will star? And will this be the first great cyberpunk TV series?

The Vault Hunters are headed to the big screen and are bringing an arsenal with a star-studded cast.

A "Borderlands" movie based off the popular video game franchise will hit theaters this summer. The film is leveled by it's cast including Oscar-winners Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Blanchett will play Lilith, an infamous bounty hunter from a group of women with remarkable powers called the "Siren" class. Photos shared by Lionsgate show stars rounding out the blockbuster's cast include Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Ariana Greenblatt, Gina Gershon and Florian Munteanu. The studio also released a photo of the cast in their costumes gathered around a manhole looking down.

Many new concepts and ideas are introduced in the earliest chapters of the series, but a key part of the Dune universe is the Spacing Guild Navigators. In a universe that thrives on interstellar travel, this group holds a pretty important position. They don't usually take center stage, but their lore and history are as dense as you might expect from Dune.

Matt Vesely’s debut references 2001: A Space Odyssey and Arrival, but ably stakes its own territory as a compelling and fastidious piece of work

The flop is wiping out an entire plan for a new movie series, as the studio becomes the latest superhero studio in need of a pivot.
