Intense First Trailer for Taylor Kitsch and Chris Pratt's THE TERMINAL LIST: DARK WOLF — GeekTyrant
Prime Video has released the teaser trailer for the highly anticipated action-drama series, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. I was a big fan of The Terminal List, and this spinoff looks great! The series stars Taylor Kitsch as Ben Edwards, and the teaser offers a look at his origin story before the events of The Terminal List. The prequel series follows Ben Edwards throughout his journey from the Navy SEALs to the clandestine side of CIA Special Operations. The series is an espionage thriller that explores the darker side of warfare and the human cost that comes with it. Kitsch said: 'Digging into Ben's origin with Dark Wolf was a blast. This season goes even deeper—there's more grit, more heart, and a lot more on the line. It's raw, it's honest, and it really lets you see the heart of who he is. 'I have so much respect for the military and SEAL community and loved showing their brotherhood, the things you fight to hold onto, and just letting it all play out. I think fans are going to have a great time with it,' said Taylor Kitsch, Executive Producer and star of Dark Wolf.' It also features Chris Pratt reprising his role as James Reece. The series was co-created by The New York Times bestselling author of The Terminal List, Jack Carr, and Season One creator-showrunner David DiGilio. It'sexplained that authenticity is a core pillar of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, 'with military veterans contributing as writers, actors, on-set technical advisors, and executive producers, the series is committed to portraying the mindset, brotherhood, and moral complexity of Special Operations with respect and realism.' The cast also includes Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings, Robert Wisdom as Jed Haverford, Luke Hemsworth as Jules Landry, Dar Salim as Mohammed Farooq, Rona-Lee Shimon as Eliza Perash, Shiraz Tzarfati as Tal Varon, Jared Shaw as Ernest 'Boozer' Vickers, and more.

‘F1: The Movie' opens strong at No. 1 in North America, beating ‘How to Train Your Dragon' reboot
LOS ANGELES, June 30 — 'F1: The Movie, starring Brad Pitt as a washed up Formula One driver who gets one last shot at redemption, sped to the top of the North American box office in its debut weekend with US$55.6 million in ticket sales, industry estimates showed Sunday. 'This is an outstanding opening for an original action sports drama,' said David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research, noting that both critics and audiences have loved the racing film from Apple and Warner Bros. 'How to Train Your Dragon,' Universal and DreamWorks Animation's live-action reboot of the popular 2010 film, slipped to second place with US$19.4 million, according to Exhibitor Relations. The family-friendly film tells the story of a Viking named Hiccup (Mason Thames) who strikes up a friendship with Toothless the dragon. In third place was Disney/Pixar Animation's latest original film 'Elio,' at US$10.7 million in the United States and Canada. 'Elio' tells the story of a young boy who is mistaken by aliens as an intergalactic ambassador for Earth. The voice cast includes Oscar winner Zoe Saldana. 'M3GAN 2.0,' the sequel to Universal's 2022 film about a murderous doll, opened in a disappointing fourth place with US$10.2 million. 'The idea of a child-sized humanoid robot doll powered by AI generated a lot of interest the first time, but that interest has fallen apart,' Gross said. In fifth place was Columbia Pictures' zombie sequel '28 Years Later,' which took in US$9.7 million. Critics' reviews and audience ratings have been strong for the Danny Boyle-directed threequel, which picks up—as the title suggests—more than a generation after the initial outbreak of the Rage Virus. Rounding out the top 10 were: 'Lilo & Stitch' (US$6.9 million) 'Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning' (US$4.2 million) 'Materialists' (US$3 million) 'Ballerina' (US$2.1 million) 'Karate Kid: Legends' (US$1 million) — AFP
