For decades, Nolan North has been one of the most celebrated and versatile performers in entertainment. His voice has shaped characters across more than 350 titles in games and animation, including Raphael in TMNT and Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series, which made him a household name. Yet in A Chuck E. Cheese Christmas, North steps into an entirely different kind of role as Jasper Jowls, and the result is something warm, funny and genuinely heartfelt.

Between 1967 and 1972, more than 130 American airplanes were hijacked. For a brief, surreal stretch of history, the skies were as lawless as the old frontier — a place where a man with a note, a gun, and a half-baked plan could change the course of his life. When filmmakers Eli Kooris and Joshua Shaffer first stumbled across Martin’s tale — via Danny Wicentowski’s The Final Flight of Martin McNally — they were stunned not just by the wildness of it, but by the fact that Martin was still alive to talk.

For Kenn Williams, the journey to running one of the most talked-about new physical-media labels did not begin with licensing deals, directors’ cuts, or rare film elements hidden in storage. It began with a simple video rental shop. “I started the company in 2022 as just a video rental store,” Kenn recalls, describing what originally began as something fun to “screw around with” before the venture took off.

At just 15, Mila Harris is already proving she can hold her own opposite Hollywood veterans like Justin Long and Kate Bosworth, and do it with poise well beyond her years. In Coyotes, the new horror comedy from director Colin Minihan, Harris stars as Chloe Stewart, a sharp, artistic teenager trapped with her parents in their Hollywood Hills home as a pack of bloodthirsty coyotes closes in. “I was actually really excited when I first read the script,” Harris said.

In Long Shadows, director William Shockley and actor Dermot Mulroney bring new life to the Western, crafting something less dusty and more soulful. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernizing American West, the film explores redemption, mercy, and the enduring power of family through the story of a wounded outlaw and a young man searching for purpose. Shockley, known for Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and Showgirls, says he wanted to make “a beautiful Western, not a dirt Western.”

When filmmaker John Spottswood Moore set out to chronicle Austin’s eccentric world of public access television, he had no idea the journey would span ten years, or that it would culminate in a sold-out world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2025, just days before his wedding. “It was cosmic coincidence,” Moore laughed during our conversation. “Fantastic Fest was the dream festival for this film, and somehow the dates just lined up.”

Brandon Routh may forever be remembered as Superman, but in Out of Order! — the opening night film of the 2025 Chelsea Film Festival — he proves that comedy might just be his true superpower. In Guy Jacobson’s madcap legal farce, Routh stars as John Slater, a frazzled young lawyer who tries to win back his glamorous ex by landing a job at a top New York law firm, only to discover he is representing both sides of the same lawsuit in disguise. What follows is a whirlwind of fake mustaches, mistaken identities, and physical chaos straight out of a 1990s screwball classic.

Speaking with D.J. MacHale was a dream come true. As someone shaped by the eerie glow of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, I was thrilled not only to revisit the legacy of one of the most formative shows in kids’ horror but also to hear about his latest adventure in storytelling, The Tyrian League: Book One – Donovan 6. MacHale’s new novel introduces readers to Donovan Park, a troubled fifteen-year-old foster kid who learns he was sent to Earth as a baby to escape a sinister galactic crime syndicate masquerading as a church.
