Glenmorangie's Harrison Ford campaign claims top prize at awards
Judges handed the Once Upon a Time in Scotland campaign the gold award in the Design Excellence category for its 'authentic approach and witty tone'. The campaign was released earlier in 2025 and is directed by Joel Edgerton. It tells the story of Ford reluctantly shooting a film in the Highlands for the brand before eventually being won over by Glenmorangie's whisky, its craft and the people who make it. The awards celebrate the best of Scotland's design and creativity and judges said of One Upon a Time in Scotland: 'It pokes fun at itself with Scotch whisky tropes and Harrison Ford being himself – a match made in heaven. It is stylish and grounded.' Glenmorangie President and CEO Caspar MacRae said: 'Once Upon a Time in Scotland sets out to tell Glenmorangie's authentic story in a fresh and witty way – and we are so pleased that our brand campaign has resonated with judges at the Scottish Design Awards. Read More 'It has been truly inspirational to work with a talent such as Harrison Ford to showcase Glenmorangie, the world's most highly awarded Highland single malt. We hope that this campaign will continue to amuse and delight whisky drinkers around the world for a long time to come.' Speaking at the time it was released, The Hollywood legend said: "I loved working with the team at the distillery — they were all great. The whole process of filming was full of unanticipated joys: little unexpected moments. "It's a tribute to Glenmorangie's sensibilities that they let us be less than totally serious. I think what Joel has produced has a certain charm to it, because it's unpretentious and just amusing.'

Edgerton and Jones portray Robert and Gladys, a married couple living in the Pacific Northwest during the early 1900s. Edgerton is building a railroad in the region "when his life takes an unexpected turn," an official synopsis reads, and he "finds beauty, brutality and newfound meaning for the forests he has felled." "It's a really special story and it feels very unique in that it is just about this one person's life. This very simple life," director Clint Bentley told Netflix's Tudum. "Robert Grainier doesn't do anything that really alters the course of history -- he doesn't fight in some great battle or create some invention that changes people's lives, and yet he lives a very deep and rich life."

Is ‘Dark Matter' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
If you binged Dark Matter on Apple TV+ last year, you're probably still reeling from that wild finale. The sci-fi thriller, starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly, had us all hooked with its multiverse-hopping plot and emotional punches. Now, the big question: Is Dark Matter getting a Season 2? Here's everythibg we know so far. Is Dark Matter Season 2 Officially Confirmed? Good news, fans! Apple TV+ gave Dark Matter the green light for Season 2 back in August 2024, not long after Season 1 wrapped up on June 26. That's a pretty fast turnaround, which shows how much faith the streamer has in the series. With an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid 7.7/10 on IMDb, it's no surprise—viewers and critics loved the show's brainy twists and heartfelt moments. When Could Dark Matter Season 2 Hit Screens? No official release date yet, but let's piece together some clues. Filming for Season 2 kicked off in Chicago in February 2025, according to posts from Crouch and Edgerton on X. Season 1 took about 20 months from start to finish (filming began October 2022, premiered May 2024). If Season 2 follows a similar timeline, we're looking at a release sometime between late 2025 and early 2026. That said, some Apple TV+ shows like Silo have managed faster production cycles, closer to 14 months. Others, like Severance , have dragged on due to delays. Dark Matter seems to be chugging along smoothly, so I'm betting on fall 2025 at the earliest, maybe spring 2026 at the latest. Fingers crossed! Who's Coming Back for the Cast? The multiverse setup of Dark Matter means anyone could pop up in a new reality, but here's who we're pretty sure will return based on the Season 1 finale and recent reports: Joel Edgerton as Jason Dessen (and his doppelgängers): Our main guy, the physicist stuck in a reality-swapping mess, is definitely back. Edgerton's also an executive producer, so he's got a big stake in the show. as Jason Dessen (and his doppelgängers): Our main guy, the physicist stuck in a reality-swapping mess, is definitely back.

Jennifer Connelly as Daniela Dessen: Jason's wife stole hearts in Season 1, and she's confirmed to return. as Daniela Dessen: Jason's wife stole hearts in Season 1, and she's confirmed to return.

Jimmi Simpson as Ryan Holder: The scientist pal who got zapped to another world could have a meatier role this time. as Ryan Holder: The scientist pal who got zapped to another world could have a meatier role this time. Dayo Okeniyi as Leighton Vance: With two Leightons out there—one rich and scheming, one not so lucky—he's a safe bet to return. as Leighton Vance: With two Leightons out there—one rich and scheming, one not so lucky—he's a safe bet to return. Amanda Brugel as Blaire Caplan: Word is she's been bumped up to a recurring role, so we'll see more of her. There's also talk of new faces joining the cast to flesh out whatever crazy new worlds we're visiting, but nothing's been announced yet. We'll update this if any casting scoops drop. What's the Story for Dark Matter Season 2? Here's where things get tricky. Season 1 used up all of Crouch's novel, which was a standalone story. The finale, called 'Entanglement,' left Jason1, Daniela, and Charlie jumping into the Box—the device that lets them hop between realities—to escape a swarm of alternate Jasons. Charlie picked their next world, but we didn't see where they landed. Cue the cliffhanger! So, what's next? Season 2 will be totally original, not based on any book. Crouch has teased 'new worlds and bigger stakes,' which could mean anything from a dystopian hellscape to a reality where Jason's a rock star (okay, probably not that). Here's what we think we'll see: Life in the New Reality: The Dessens will have to adjust to wherever Charlie's choice took them. Will it be a paradise or a nightmare? Those Creepy Jasons: The finale showed a bunch of Jason variants still chasing Daniela and Charlie. Are they still a threat, or will some, like Jason2, try to make amends? Amanda and Ryan's Journey: They're in that sleek, futuristic Chicago. Will their story tie back to the Dessens, or are we getting a side adventure? More Multiverse Madness: Crouch loves playing with identity and choice, so expect deeper dives into what makes each character tick across different realities. Some fans worry Season 2 might lose the magic since the book's story is done. Crouch's Wayward Pines stumbled in its second season without his direct involvement, but he's all in on Dark Matter , so I'm hopeful he'll keep the quality high. Ahmedabad Plane Crash
