  • The Life Of Chuck Teaser Trailer Shows Heartfelt Stephen King Adaptation

    The Life Of Chuck Teaser Trailer Shows Heartfelt Stephen King Adaptation

    As the clock ticks down in the teaser for The Life of Chuck, anticipation builds for the film adaptation of Stephen King’s 2020 short story.

    Tom Hiddleston takes on the role of Charles “Chuck” Krantz, the main character around whom the narrative revolves. The film unfolds in three segments presented in reverse chronological order. In the teaser, we see Chuck, an everyday man, strolling down the street. The scene shifts rapidly from a smiling Chuck to glimpses of younger versions of himself.

    “The universe is vast, filled with countless beings, but it also holds me,” a voiceover intones before the teaser concludes.

    Alongside Hiddleston, the film boasts a stellar cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Annalise Basso, Benjamin Pajak, Karen Gillan, Mia Sara, Matthew Lillard, Carl Lumbly, Samantha Sloyan, Harvey Guillén, Jacob Tremblay, Kate Siegel, and Mark Hamill. Nick Offerman serves as the narrator for the film.

    Directed and written by horror icon Mike Flanagan, The Life of Chuck is produced by Flanagan alongside his collaborator Trevor Macy of Intrepid Pictures.

    Flanagan is no stranger to adapting King’s works; he previously brought to the screen Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep. He is also slated to adapt two more of King’s novels, The Dark Tower and Carrie, for Amazon MGM Studios. Though Flanagan and King are typically associated with horror, The Life of Chuck offers a different narrative experience.

    The film had its premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received the People’s Choice Award. Neon, the distributor behind last year’s Best Picture winner Anora, is set to release Flanagan’s film.

    The Life of Chuck is scheduled to hit theaters on June 6, 2025.

  • Magazine Dreams Trailer Showcases Jonathan Majors’ Bodybuilding Film

    Magazine Dreams Trailer Showcases Jonathan Majors’ Bodybuilding Film

    In the upcoming film Magazine Dreams, Jonathan Majors portrays a passionate bodybuilder whose relentless ambition leads him down a path of self-destruction. Briarcliff Entertainment has recently unveiled the film’s first trailer.

    Majors takes on the role of Killian Maddox, a man willing to sacrifice everything to establish himself as the leading bodybuilder of his era. This obsession takes a toll on Maddox’s personal life, isolating him from meaningful relationships. The pursuit of fame through magazine features weighs heavily on Killian, affecting both his mental and physical well-being. Will he jeopardize his own stability to chase his dream?

    In the trailer, Killian reflects, “You have to do something big and important, or nobody will remember you when you’re dead.”

    Alongside Majors, the film features performances from Haley Bennett, Taylour Paige, Mike O’Hearn, Harriet Sansom Harris, and Harrison Page, who plays Killian’s ailing grandfather.

    Written and directed by Elijah Bynum, Magazine Dreams made its debut at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, earning favorable reviews. Many critics anticipate that Majors’ portrayal will attract significant Academy Award attention. After a competitive bidding process, Searchlight Pictures secured the distribution rights, planning for a release in December 2023.

    However, in October 2023, Searchlight retracted Magazine Dreams from its schedule following assault allegations against Majors. After his conviction on two misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment in December 2023, the studio returned the film rights to the creators, allowing them to seek other distribution options. During this period, Marvel Studios also let Majors go from all future projects.

    Previously, he was slated to play Kang the Conqueror, the next significant antagonist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in both Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. Following Majors’ exit, Marvel shifted its creative direction, casting Robert Downey Jr. as the new Doctor Doom.

    In October 2024, Briarcliff Entertainment obtained domestic distribution rights for Magazine Dreams. The film is now set to premiere on March 21, 2025.

  • How To Turn Off Autoplay Previews and Episodes on Netflix

    How To Turn Off Autoplay Previews and Episodes on Netflix

    Derek Malcolm / Digital Trends

    Netflix is a leading streaming platform, but it can sometimes become a source of frustration. If the incessant autoplay previews or automatic episode plays are driving you crazy, there’s good news: you can easily disable these features.

    With just a couple of adjustments in your Netflix account settings, you can turn off autoplay previews and halt the automatic playing of the next episode.

    This means no more fumbling to mute the volume or rapidly skipping away from a title to avoid the preview. You’ll gain total control over what content plays and when. Additionally, you can stop episodes from continuing to play after you’ve fallen asleep, which can help conserve your data usage. It’s a simple process—let’s go over how to do it.

    Disabling Netflix’s Autoplay Previews

    Step 1: Begin by logging into your Netflix account from a web browser.

    Note: You can also do this on your mobile device; just make sure to use a browser instead of the Netflix app.

    Step 2: In the menu on the right side of the screen, click on Account.

    Here, you’ll find a variety of information about your account, including your profiles. You’ll need to manage the autoplay settings for each profile individually (some users may prefer to keep it). By default, your account will be selected.

    Scroll down and select Edit Settings, and then proceed to Playback Settings.

    Step 3: Uncheck both boxes under Autoplay controls for you. There will be one box for autoplay previews and another for the next episode. Disabling the second box will stop Netflix from playing previews of titles when you hover over them, eliminating the need to quickly mute or skip past them. Unchecking the first box will prevent Netflix from automatically proceeding to the next episode in a series. While binge-watching is a popular way to enjoy shows on Netflix, turning off this option will mean you have to take a more active role in your viewing experience.

    Step 4: Finally, click on Save to confirm your choices. Log out of your account.

    Once you update your profile settings on one device, those changes will apply across all devices where you access Netflix.

    Netflix indicates that there might be a slight delay before the new settings take effect, but you can expedite the process by switching profiles and then switching back to reload your profile with the updated settings.

    If you find that you miss the autoplay features, it’s easy to return to your settings and re-enable them.

    These steps apply to all Netflix subscription plans.
