Welcome to another episode of your daily entertainment news, I'm your host Nikhil. News from Hollywood up next

Fear Street’s spooky sequel: Prom Queen to haunt Netflix in 2024

Horror fans, hold onto your popcorn – Netflix isn’t done with Shadyside just yet! Fear Street is back with its new eerie chapter: Prom Queen. Yes, more scream-worthy chills, fresh faces, and enough 90s nostalgia to keep you hooked. For those who thought Shadyside had its last scare in Part Three: 1666 – think again! The cursed book’s still lurking, and with Prom Queen bringing in the likes of Barbie star Ariana Greenblatt, this one’s bound to be a killer. In this case, quite literally!

Get ready to jump back into Jumanji! New sequel set for 2026 release

Just when you thought you’ve got little to look forward to, Jumanji is slated to be back on our screens in 2026! Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, and Kevin Hart are all signed up, ready to jump back into the chaotic video game world. Director Jake Kasdan’s at the helm, promising even wilder escapades than before. No spoilers yet, but knowing this lot, it’s going to be absolutely bonkers!

Christopher Lee's voice returns as Saruman in ‘The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim’

Speaking of bonkers, Christopher Lee’s voice is making a comeback as Saruman in the upcoming animated LOTR prequel, set centuries before the films we know and love. Thanks to unused footage from The Hobbit, Saruman will be scheming and monologuing once again, alongside LOTR alum Miranda Otto as Éowyn. Expect action, drama, and a lot of Middle-Earth mythology.

Justin Long and Michael McKean join Marc Maron’s new Oscars comedy 'In Memoriam'

Next, Marc Maron’s latest comedy, In Memoriam, is coming in hot with a star-studded cast including Justin Long and Michael McKean. Maron’s character is a Hollywood actor desperate to secure a spot in the Oscars’ "In Memoriam" reel before he’s even gone. Directed by Rob Burnett (of Late Show with David Letterman fame), it’s set to be a quirky laugh with a dash of heart and just the right amount of meta-Hollywood madness.

William H. Macy joins Glen Powell in Edgar Wright’s remake of ‘The Running Man’

If you haven’t heard it yet, Edgar Wright’s tackling the Stephen King classic The Running Man, and he’s got a stacked cast, including Glen Powell and William H. Macy. Imagine a dark, dystopian world where TV game shows are literally lethal. Macy’s character is set to help our hero, Ben Richards, take down the regime one twisted show at a time. Mark your calendars for November 2025 – this one’s bound to make you question your reality TV habits.

Clive Owen cast as heroic Berlin Cop in WWII thriller ‘Kristallnacht’

In other big casting news, Clive Owen’s stepping into the shoes of Wilhelm Krützfeld, a brave Berlin cop who dared to protect his Jewish neighbours during one of Nazi Germany’s darkest days. Directed by Oscar-winner Stefan Ruzowitzky, this gripping historical drama promises both tension and heroism, bringing a lesser-known story from WWII to the forefront.hhh

Olivia Wilde and Gael García Bernal dive into dangerous territory with ‘Monkey Hill’

Now, this is a film we really can’t wait to watch. It’s called Monkey Hill and it’s a film where opulence meets mysticism with Olivia Wilde as a fugitive heiress and Gael García Bernal as her equally mysterious husband. Picture them living it up in a lush Indian holy city, only to find themselves trapped in a web of dark forces. Inspired by a Paul Theroux story, it’s going to be luxe, eerie, and downright hypnotic.

Nick Offerman joins ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ on Apple TV+

Next, Apple TV+ has just levelled up with Margo’s Got Money Troubles, starring Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, and Michelle Pfeiffer – and now, Nick Offerman too! Based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel, Offerman plays the estranged dad of Fanning’s character, Margo, who’s grappling with love, pregnancy, and making ends meet on OnlyFans. David E. Kelley and A24 are behind this quirky yet heartfelt family drama, so you know it’s going to be gold.

Disney+ scores Prince William documentary in ‘Royal Streaming War’

And finally, a royal rumble of sorts: Disney+ is rolling out Prince William: We Can End Homelessness. It’s a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of William’s mission to end homelessness in the UK, complete with candid moments and reflections on his late mum, Princess Diana. With Prince Harry’s recent Netflix projects, we now have a streaming showdown between the brothers. Grab the popcorn; this one’s worth the watch.

Well that's all for this episode, until the next time its your host Nikhil signing out.
