Love in a 12-Hour Window: Inside One Night Only’s No-Sex World

The Hollywood Reporter chats with One Night Only writer Travis Braun and producer Jacqueline Monetta, with star Callum Turner, about a rom‑com set in a near‑future where premarital sex is illegal except during a 12‑hour yearly window. They say the film centers on a love story, while world‑building (seen in the background on TVs and signage) isn’t the plot, and not all rules are explained to invite discussion. Gluck notes viewers will catch more on repeat viewings, and Braun hints some answers exist in the movie but politics aren’t the focus. Turner and the team encourage audiences to go see the film, which is now in theaters.

Remedy Seeks Distinct Look for Control Resonant, Skipping AAA Mold

Remedy’s Control Resonant dev diary reveals a deliberate shift toward a wider exterior world and greater enemy variety, with art director Elmeri Raitanen noting the team avoids referencing other AAA games to prevent an 'aesthetic singularity'; the game emphasizes grounded world-building, performance capture, and audio logs, and introduces New Game Plus that preserves upgrades while preventing traversal abilities from carrying over, with a 2026 release window but no exact date yet.

The Ups and Downs of Pixar's Elemental.

The Ups and Downs of Pixar's Elemental.

Pixar's latest film, Elemental, is a confusing mess with a disastrously bad central metaphor about immigrants. The film's world-building is under-conceived and unpersuasive, and its story is a confusing jungle of dangling causes and unearned leaps. The romantic comedy subplot is the best part of the script, but the characters are hard to care about. The film's visuals and score are admirable, but they can't save the dismal script.

Elden Ring: From Scary Soulslike to First-Person Mod.

Vermis is an artbook series exploring the world of a terrifying horror game that doesn't actually exist, inspired by old dungeon-crawler games and FromSoftware's worldbuilding. Despite being a niche concept, it has found crossover appeal and is already on its third print run. The artbook describes character classes, monsters, and creatures, and is being used by Dungeons and Dragons fans for inspiration in their own campaigns.
