Donnie Darko Sequel Novel Unveils Cover, Teaser Ahead of Fall Release

The roughly 800-page novel takes place in 1988 after the original film's events and uses a found-documents style.

Insidious: Out of the Further Finds a Faint Fright

IndieWire’s review of Insidious: Out of the Further (the franchise’s sixth installment) calls it dull and overexposed, relying on constant jump scares and overexplaining its lore without delivering real scares or fresh ideas. Despite returning characters and a moody visual palette, the film is criticized as lacking psychological depth and reinvigorating the Blumhouse saga, earning a grade of D ahead of its August 21, 2026 release.

Barbie sequel in limbo as pay talks with Robbie, Gosling and Gerwig stall

Barbie 2 is in jeopardy after Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Greta Gerwig failed to reach salary terms, with Gosling reportedly seeking around $20 million. Warner Bros has offered deals, but if agreements aren’t in place by December the rights could revert to Mattel, preventing Robbie, Gosling or Gerwig from returning in the same project. Gerwig and her writing partner Baumbach say they have a sequel idea and are ready to write if terms are resolved. Barbie dominated 2023 as a record-breaking live-action comedy and Warner Bros’s top performer, but the future of the franchise now hinges on lucrative terms for its three leads and director.
