Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Pike’s Enterprise warps back to Paramount+ on 17 July for more colourful, self-contained adventures – and the introduction of one Montgomery Scott! We quiz showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers about what season three has in store.
The Sandman
The dream is over for the cast and crew of The Sandman, as the Netflix adaptation wraps up with its second season. We take a trip to Shepperton Studios and speak to showrunner Allan Heinberg and five of the cast: Sanjeev Bhaskar, Douglas Booth, Asim Chaudhry, Freddie Fox and Tom Sturridge.
Jurassic World Rebirth
Last time we spoke to Gareth Edwards, as he was promoting The Creator, he was dead set on making more “indie sci-fi” movies in the same vein – but then Steven Spielberg’s people got in touch... We talk to him about taking the director’s chair for the latest dino blockbuster.
The Shrouds
Centred on a very morbid concept – “GraveTech” which allows people to observe the bodies of loved ones as they decompose – David Cronenberg’s bewildering new film The Shrouds was inspired by the grief that followed the death of his wife. We speak to the father of body horror.
Squid Game
The South Korean phenomenon, in which desperate competitors take part in a deadly series of games, returns for its final run on 27 June. We chat with the show’s creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, and stars Lee Byung-han and Lee Jung-jae.
The Brian Clemens Archive
In the second of a series of features delving through some of the paperwork left behind by the late, great Brian Clemens we present seven James Bond pitches by the creator of The New Avengers and The Professionals, dating from the mid–’70s.
And that’s not all, feature-wise! We also speak to the showrunner of new Stephen King series The Institute, look back at 1985’s Fright Night in the company of writer/director Tom Holland, profile novelist Holly Race, and get VE Schwab to fill out our author questionnaire.
Red Alert
And the big features are just the tip of the iceberg! As ever, our news section, Red Alert, is crammed with insights into yet more movies, TV shows, comics and books. In the spotlight this month: James Gunn’s Superman, Rage-infected sequel 28 Years Later, MCU show Ironheart and Predator: Badlands, plus the latest Captain America, Kong, Krypto the Superdog, Stranger Things and The Toxic Avenger comics.
