Meg 2: The Trench — out August 3 in theatres — sees Jason Statham returning to beat up a pack of giant megalodon sharks, as they race to the beach shoreline. It's the perfect kind of campy, unbridled chaos that lets loose a wild species long thought to be extinct, on the big screen for a playful experiment of pitting them up against humans. Films about rampaging beasts have always been fascinating horror movies to me, as they're filled with familiar animals that do exist in real life — most of whom we'd normally steer…

Actor Liam Neeson was close to taking on the iconic role of James Bond, if not for matters relating to his personal life. In a recent interview the actor revealed that he was initially in talks to play the spy, but it all came down to his wife, Natasha Richardson, who threatened to leave him if he took on the offer.

Image: Disney/Lucasfilm Star Wars has always been a commercial brand from the start, but you could really start to feel that over the last few years. Between spinoffs focused on Boba Fett and Obi-Wan, the incoming one for Ahsoka Tano, and a spinoff originally meant for Cara Dune, the franchise has an obsession with shedding as much light on its key players as possible.

“I was always here, Obi-Wan. You just... were not ready to see yet.”Screenshot: LucasfilmThere’s been a bit of a strange recurrence in Star Wars recently: more often than not, people just don’t die. The Rise of Skywalker, infamously perhaps, is predicated on the return of the Emperor with little explanation as to how he got out of a one-way trip down an exploding reactor shaft. Obi-Wan Kenobi just gave us not one, but two people surviving mortal lightsaber wounds through sheer determination.So yeah, people are having a…
