Spirited Away IRL.

If you missed the stunning stage version of Spirited Away when it was in theaters earlier this year, you can bring it home pretty soon: it’ll be available on-demand on October 24th and on Blu-Ray on November 14th. This year is turning out to be a pretty solid one for Studio Ghibli fans.

John Woo goes quiet.

But in an intentional way. The action legend’s next film is called Silent Night, a Christmas Eve revenge story that also happens to be mostly dialogue-free, so the title works on two levels. It hits theaters on December 1st.

Pool meets golf?

Martin Jonassan, the developer behind games like Holedown and Rymdkapsel, just announced his next project. It’s called Subpar Pool, and it looks like a combination of pool and golf, but with procedurally-generated levels and some cute little blobs. It launches October 12th on mobile, Steam, and the Switch.

This is cursed.

Or at least, it’s supposed to be. The Curse is a show about a couple dealing with what appears to be a curse alongside trying have a baby and hosting a home improvement show. It certainly looks unsettling, and with a cast that includes Emma Stone, Nathan Fielder, and Benny Safdie, it’s hard to know what to expect. It premieres on Showtime on November 10th.

Seven minutes of Castlevania: Nocturne.

If you weren’t able to watch Netflix’s animation event live — which featured the premiere of the first three episodes of Castlevania: Nocturne — you can still get an early glimpse at the beginning of the debut episode in the clip below. Of course, it won’t be long before you can just watch the whole thing: Nocturne starts streaming on September 28th.

“Do you know this one girl with hair like this?”

In the latest clip for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, we get a glimpse at some of the changes made in the animated version. Most notable: Ramona Flowers now delivers DVDs for Netflix. The show starts streaming on November 17th.

Disney’s next animated film has a trailer showing off its blend of animation styles.

Wish is meant to blend modern CGI animation with the gorgeous watercolor animation Disney was originally known for. That should make it similar looking to films like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Those are gorgeously animated films with the latter looking like a hand drawn book brought to three-dimensional life.

Wish definitely has more of a Frozen vibe than that, but you can see sparks of that blended animation in a few moments...in between clips of a goat talking about its butt.

Samurai showdown.

The latest addition to Netflix’s original anime lineup, Blue Eye Samurai tells the story of “Mizu, a mixed-race master of the sword who lives a life in disguise seeking the deliverance of revenge.” The series starts streaming on November 3rd.

Another dino doc.

With Prehistoric Planet, Apple TV Plus showed that dinosaurs are a great fit for the classic nature doc format. Now Netflix is doing something similar. Life on Our Planet explores the rise and fall of animal dynasties over the years, which involves visualizing a number of extinct species — including dinos.

The show is executively produced by Steven Spielberg, narrated by Morgan Freeman, and starts streaming on October 25th.

Anyway, here’s Wonder-wall.

With a little less than a month to go, Nintendo’s released a new Super Mario Bros. Wonder trailer. The trailer treads familiar ground, going over all the power-ups and places you’ll experience in the game.

If you missed the Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct or if you just can’t get enough of what looks to be the trippiest Mario Bros. game ever, take a look.

Footy on your phone.

EA Sports FC 24, the first entry in EA’s new non-FIFA soccer franchise, launches next week. But so does a mobile version — and you can get a first glimpse at it in the reveal trailer below. The mobile game is out on September 26th, while the full PC and console release hits on the 29th.

Yet another video game adaptation is on the way.

This time it’s Capcom’s hack-and-slash series Onimusha, which is being turned into an anime on Netflix. It starts streaming on November 2nd — and you can check the very melodramatic trailer below.

Chilli, Bandit, Bingo, and Bluey are getting their first video game.

I am a grown adult with no kids and yet I was the one who rushed to tell my coworkers (some of whom actually have children) about the new Bluey video game. Coming November 17th to console and PC, Bluey: The Videogame offers new and familiar adventures with everyone’s favorite family of Aussie fidos. Really hope the Sleepytime episode makes an appearance in the game so I can bawl endlessly.

Resident Evil more.

Capcom announced a new expansion for the excellent RE4 remake last week, and now we have a much better look at it thanks to a fresh trailer. It’s called “Separate Ways,” and it launches on September 21st.

July 27th, 1999.

Prime Video’s — not Amazon Prime Video, they hate when you call it that — next sports documentary Bye Bye Barry is going to revisit the abrupt retirement of one of the NFL’s most incredible running backs, which he announced via a fax sent to the Wichita Eagle.

I’ve followed the examples of both Sanders and Calvin Johnson by leaving the Detroit Lions — and their one Super Bowl-era playoff win — behind in the interests of my mental and emotional well-being, but I’ll be watching this one.

Time to get freaky with the foliage.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has a brand new story trailer, debuting during Sony’s Fall State of Play. In Frontiers, you play as a Na’vi who was kidnapped by humans and raised as a child soldier on Pandora. After Jake Sully and his blue cat group kick humans off the planet, the former soldiers are left to rediscover their Na’vi heritage (which means connecting their hair tentacle to just about everything.) Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora comes to PlayStation 5 on December 7th.

I ain’t ‘fraid of no ghosts.

During Sony’s September State of Play, we got our first look at a new Ghostbusters game for the PSVR2, Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghostlord.

You can customize your ghost buster with all kinds of cosmetics while trying and failing to not cross the streams with your shaky VR hands. Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghostlord launches October 26th, just in time for Halloween.

And here’s the trailer for the next Aquaman movie.

It has been forever since star Jason Momoa and director James Wan were initially linked to DC’s Aquaman franchise, and now its second movie is set for release on December 20th.

Following The Flash and Blue Beetle, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is now set to close out DC and Warner’s old comic book universe before the new James Gunn-led one starts with Superman: Legacy in 2025.

Can you tell who made this movie just from the thumbnail?

If you’ve seen the Wes Anderson meme, or watched multiple Wes Anderson films in a row because that seemed like a good idea at the time, then you will immediately clock his work just from the thumbnail for this trailer. The colors, the subject dead center in the frame. Yup. That’s an Anderson joint.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, based on the Roald Dahl short story collection, premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 1 to great praise. It will be in theaters on September 20, and on Netflix September 27.
