Stranger Things Season 3 Teaser, Episodes And Release Date

By Armando

Expectations are high on the upcoming season after the success of season 2. With the production fully under way, Netflix releases a teaser video with the titles for all eight episodes of Stranger Things Season 3.

Although the teaser video does not provide any footage from the season, it has been confirmed that there will be eight episodes.

Here are the episodes of the upcoming season 3 of Stranger Things:
“Suzie, Do You Copy?”, “The Mall Rats,” “The Case of the Missing Life Guard,” “The Sauna Test,” “The Source,” “The Birthday,” “The Bite,” and “The Battle of Starcourt.”

The third season is said to be set in the summer of 1985, one year after the events of season two , and, according to David Harbour, is said to be influenced by the 1985 action-comedy Fletch.

You can then speculate what could possibly make an appearance during the season and music played in the airwaves during that time.

Set in fictitious Hawkins, Indiana, the series is a huge breakout success for the streaming giant.

But fans will have to wait a bit longer because unlike season 2 which premiered in the fall, the third season is said to play in summer of 2019. The first two seasons of “Stranger Things” are currently available to stream on Netflix.

First Look At Henry Cavill In “The Witcher”

By Creative Media Times

As Netflix’s The Witcher series began filming, a first look at its lead Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia has been released.

The 23 second screen test clip features Cavill in character costume looking serious and intense, sporting long, white hair that is partly pony-tailed on the back, and then eventually sipping from a potion bottle.

The news that Cavill will be playing the lead role of Geralt of Rivia was revealed last September. “The Witcher” is a fantasy series by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.

Geralt is the titular Witcher in the short stories, novels and video games which takes place in medieval fantasy setting. He is one of the last witchers, a trained monster slayer for hire to slay deadly monstrous beasts.

Cavill recently played a CIA assassin in this summer’s blockbuster hit Mission: Impossible – Fallout starting Tom Cruise. He also portrayed Superman in WB/DC Comics’, Batman v Superman and Justice League.

“The Witcher” is expected to premiere in 2019 on Netflix.

Sandra Bullock In Thrilling “Bird Box” Trailer

By Armando

Netflix enlists its own Hollywood A-lister for its post-apocalyptic horror film “Bird Box.” Set for release later this year, the film sees Sandra Bullock trying keep her kids out of danger while also blindfolded.

“If you hear something in the woods, you tell me. If you hear something in the water, you tell me. But under no circumstances are you allowed to take off your blindfold,” Bullock’s Malorie tells her children.

Already, many are comparing its premise to the blockbuster hit “A Quiet Place” from earlier this year: the world’s population is being annihilated and a mysterious force is responsible for it. This time, the protagonists have to avoid seeing it to save their lives as they take a harrowing journey to safety.

However, “Bird Box” is in fact based on a 2014 eponymous novel from Josh Malerman (lead singer of The High Strung), the film rights of which was bought by Universal Studios in 2013, back when Andy Muschietti was attached to helm. Muschietti has since directed the colossal boxoffice horror hit “It.”

This should not diminish the potential of “Bird Box”. The film, seemingly taking place across different time periods, looks genuinely thrilling and Bullock is always solid. The comparisons to the John Krasinski-directed film may, in fact, only increase its visibility. No pun.

Also in the film are Sarah Paulson, Rosa Salazar, Danielle Macdonald and John Malkovich. Directed by Susanne Bier. Its also set to make its world-premiere on November 12 at AFI Fest where many films take a dive into awards contention.

“Bird Box” will hit Netflix and select theaters Dec. 21.
