The Song of Ice and Fire universe has had plenty of heartbreaking deaths between George R. R. Martin's books, "Game of Thrones," and "House of the Dragon." It's hard for anything to top events like the beheading of Ned Stark or the Red Wedding, but the end of "House of the Dragon" Season 1 took a crack at it with the death of Lucerys Velaryon (Elliot Grihault). Luke might not have had as much screen time as some other characters in the franchise before their own tragic ends, but his status as an innocent child, the accidental nature of his death, and a fantastic performance from young star Elliot Grihault all combine to make his murder a truly devastating finale for the show's inaugural season.

As tensions between Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) and the Hightower faction in King's Landing rise, Rhaenyra scrambles to assemble as many allies to her banner as she can.

Exclusive: Annie Ilonzeh (S.W.A.T.), Marques Houston (You Got Served) and Erica Mena (Love & Hip-Hop) lead the upcoming sci-fi thriller Run from Footage Films. The film is directed by Chris Stokes and is expected to be released in theaters in May.

In addition to Ilonzeh, Houston and Mena, the cast includes Erica Pinkett, Drew Sidora, Ken Lawson, Claudia Jordan and Obba Babatunde.

Run follows Melissa after she leaves her fiancé Andre at the alter, and her best friends convince her to go to a cabin on a much-needed “girls trip” to get her mind off things. But things take a huge turn when their friend Jenny is found mutilated in the middle of the woods. When the news announces an all-out alien attack on the nation, the girls will have to try their best to survive.

“The goal is to bring the urban community back to the theaters since a sharp decline.

Exclusive: Rupert Everett and Ruby Stokes (Bridgerton) have signed on to join Madfabulous, a 19th-century-set feature from director Celyn Jones, which has just rolled cameras in Wales.

Described as a “fantastical reimagining set in the late 19th Century,” the film is inspired by the life of the fifth Marquess of Anglesey. Per the official synopsis, the story follows the outrageous Henry Paget, a flamboyant character, so ahead of his time that he smashes through society’s protocols of elitism and gender. Known for his gregarious theatrical expressions, exuberant sense of fashion, and lavish social life, Paget spent a multi-million-pound fortune before his untimely death at age twenty-nine.

We announced back in May that Callum Scott Howells (It’s A Sin) signed on to star in the lead role of Henry Paget. Stokes joins alongside Scott Howells to star as Lily, Henry’s best friend,...

The following contains spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 1 "A Son for a Son," which is now streaming on Max.

The Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, has finally returned for its second season, as the Greens and the Blacks prepare for all-out civil war. After a series of violent and upsetting events left both sides grieving heavy losses, the Dance of the Dragons has officially begun, and Westeros will never be the same.

Much like its predecessor, House of the Dragon boasts a wide ensemble cast of characters who aren't exactly bastions of honesty and loyalty. From scheming lords willing to stab anyone in the back to overly emotional members of the Kingsguard with an axe to grind, these are the least trustworthy characters in House of the Dragon Season 2.

The White Worm Is Always Looking To Make Another Buck

The White Worm, a.k.

It wouldn't be surprising to learn that the filmmakers behind holiday horror comedy It's a Wonderful Knife first came up with their pun-tastic title and only later thought of a plot to go with it. The idea of a horror take on the Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life is too enticing to resist, and It's a Wonderful Knife only occasionally lives up to the goofy promise of its high-concept pitch. It's best when riffing on that appealingly ridiculous mash-up and less successful when it makes an earnest attempt at dealing with trauma and bloodshed.

Within its first 15 minutes, It's a Wonderful Knife has already run through a miniature version of the entire plot of a typical slasher movie. The movie is set in the idyllic small town of Angel Falls, a location perfect for any of the dozens of interchangeable Hallmark Christmas movies released yearly. The town's welcome sign...

From terrifying audiences in Kill List to squaring up to Elba in airline thriller Hijack, the actor has made his name playing a host of wrong’uns. Now he’s leaving the baddies behind to direct a Belgium-based whistleblower drama

If you know Neil Maskell as an actor, you might fancy you’d know him as a film-maker, too. And you’d be right. But you’d also be very wrong. “I think if you see Klokkenluider it’s not really the work of … ” Maskell pauses to determine where his directorial film debut diverges from his onscreen persona. “I was gonna say a ‘tough guy’, but that’s not very fair, because I know some very intelligent tough guys. But it’s not the work of, like, a thug.”

In fact, the title alone – a Dutch word meaning “whistleblower” – sets Klokkenluider above the violent Brit-flicks Maskell once starred in. He is calling today from Antwerp,...

"You have absolutely no idea what's coming." Central City Media in the UK has unveiled an official trailer for an indie dark comedy called Klokkenluider (Dutch for "whistleblower"), the feature directorial debut of British actor Neil Maskell. This premiered at last year's London Film Festival, and still doesn't have any US release set yet. A hapless government whistleblower hides out in a remote Belgian cottage with his wife and two incompetent bodyguards. As a newspaper journalist travels to the safe-house, unlikely relationships form under the atmosphere of fear, uncertainty and boredom. Klokkenluider also has perhaps the greatest game of charades ever committed to film! The film's "kitchen sink drama and conspiracy thriller elements combine to create an unsettling comedy gem." The film stars Tom Burke, Jenna Coleman, Amit Shah, Roger Evans, & Sura Dohnke. And it's exec produced by Ben Wheatley. This looks damn good! I'm in. // Continue Reading ›...

There are such a fine myriad of film festivals around the world, with all major cities spotlighting domestic talent, and showcasing the latest films from around the world to local audiences and visiting guests. While a small collective, namely Berlin, Cannes & Venice stand out on the European festival calendar, there’s another contender on the block; a simply brilliant celebration of cinema, with a mighty fine programme, and it takes place in the capital city of Estonia.

The Tallinn Black Nights Festival just closed its doors on the 26th edition of this annual, winter event, and we here at HeyUGuys were fortunate enough to have been invited along. Named ‘Black Nights’, we presume, because it gets dark every day around mid-afternoon, it’s a bitterly cold fortnight, where naturally you find yourselves gravitating towards the warm, cosiness of a cinema complex – and when doing so, there sure was a lot to indulge in.

Season One of House of the Dragon has set the stage: War has all but arrived in the spin-off's first finale, and the battle lines between the Great Houses of Westeros are being drawn. Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) is dispatching calls for support from the seat of Dragonstone, while her brother Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) is surely doing the same to shore up his own forces for the coming war that will ultimately become the Dance of the Dragons. After losing her son Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) in a bid to enlist the aid of Lord Borros Baratheon (Roger Evans), Rhaenyra's hope that her son Jacaerys/Jace (Harry Collett) can secure the support of Houses Arryn and Stark is even more crucial to the success of her Black faction. As the monarch squared away safely in the Crownlands, Aegon II will likely attempt to rally the soldiers of the...

Spoiler warning for House of the Dragon episode 10

After 10 long weeks, which have covered some two decades of action, we’ve made it to the end of the first season of House of the Dragon. Give yourself a pat on the back. While murmurings around the watercooler may have focused less on shock twists or big set pieces – and more on time leaps, negronis, and sbagliato with prosecco – this has still felt like an epic saga in the offing.

Now, finally, the pieces have fallen into place and the war that’s been brewing, thanks to the blithe idiocy of King Viserys (Paddy Considine), has begun. Ready your dragons.

Dragon it out

“We don’t choose our destiny,” announces Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) at the outset of this episode. “It chooses us.” This is the fate that the princess has had to deal with ever since her father named her heir,...

The dust and dragon scales have barely settled on “House of the Dragon” Season 1, but fans are already clamoring for Season 2 while staring down their first free Sunday night in months. HBO’s “Game of Thrones” prequel is already renewed for a second season, but how exactly will the war amid House Targaryen play out? Who will live? Who will die? Will viewers ever see a baby dragon?

Here’s everything we hope to see in “House of the Dragon” Season 2.

1. Lucerys Avenged

Sweet, strong (sorry) Lucerys Velaryon died horribly and too young, a pawn in the war against his mother and an indescribable loss for her. His is the first major death in the war and the series and will undoubtedly lead to massive repercussions for both sides. The Blacks may come for Aemond directly, or for Vhagar, or for the entirety of Aegon’s family as they avenge...

House of the Dragon actor Elliot Grihault has shared a touching message with his co-star Harry Collett after the dramatic finale.

On Sunday (23 October), the Game of Thrones prequel’s debut season drew to a close with a finale that, among other things, featured a “harrowing” birth scene and the show’s biggest dragon yet.

But, it was the final sequence that will endure as the show’s most crucial.

*Spoilers follow – you have been warned*

In the hopes of recruiting allies and maintaining support for her claim to the throne, Rhaneyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) sends her son Lucerys Velaryon (Grihault) to Storm’s End with his dragon Arrax.

Rhaenyra urges him to act as a diplomat. When he arrives, however, something is amiss and he notices Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) is already there doing the bidding for his newly crowned brother.

Aemond has long been seeking revenge on Lucerys, who...

The Dance of Dragons has officially begun.

Sunday’s “House of the Dragon” finale pitted Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) against half-brother Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney), who has been declared king of Westeros despite the late Viserys’ wishes (Paddy Considine). As Rhaenyra prepares to win back the seven kingdoms, she sends son Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) to Storm’s End to appeal to Lord Borros Baratheon (Roger Evans), where he finds a nasty surprise in the form of uncle Aegon’s brother Aemond (Ewan Mitchell). The sons of rival houses take to the sky, the dragons dance, and only one survives.

Just as Episode 9 focused on King’s Landing and Alicent’s (Olivia Cooke) family, Episode 10, “The Black Queen,” written by Ryan Condal and directed by Greg Yaitanes, unfolds primarily in Dragonstone, where Rhaenyra and Daemon (Matt Smith) establish their plan to move against the Greens with the help of key players on their own side.

House of the Dragon fans are all drawing the same comparison to Game of Thrones over its explosive season finale.

HBO aired the 10th and final instalment of its GoT spin-off series on Sunday (23 October).

After Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) learns that Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) has been named King following the death of King Viserys (Paddy Considine), she begins to recruit allies who believe in her claim to the throne.

In the hopes of getting House Baratheon on her side, she sends her son Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) to Storm’s End with his dragon Arrax.

When Lucerys arrives, however, he sees that Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) is already there hoping to secure Baratheon support for his newly crowned brother Aegon.

Things get out of hand when Aemond tries to take revenge on Lucerys for taking his eye out years before.

This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon.

After “The Green Council” saw the Hightowers usurp the Iron Throne by crowning Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) as king, House of the Dragon fans have been eagerly awaiting the season finale. Between the episode’s focus on the Hightowers’ plot at King’s Landing and the climactic ending that saw Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best) bursting through the floor of the Dragonpit on her dragon Meleys before riding off to warn the true heir Princess Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), it has been a long seven days waiting to see how Rhaenyra reacts to the news that her birthright has been stolen.

The season finale “The Black Queen” begins with a sweet moment between Rhaenyra and her son Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) where she reassures him that she’ll be there to help guide him as he steps into his duties as the future Lord of Driftmark.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you haven’t watched the Season 1 finale of HBO’s “House of the Dragon,” currently streaming on HBO Max.

The Dance of Dragons finally kicks off as the body count for “House of the Dragon” continues to rise.

The Season 1 finale mirrors some key moments from earlier in the season, like Rhaenyra Targaryen’s (Emma D’Arcy) bloody birthing sequence, Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) confronting the blacks at Dragonstone and Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) and Lucerys “Luke” Velaryon’s (Elliot Grihault) deadly “eye for an eye” fight. The episode begins with foreshadowing at Luke’s fate as he complains to his mother Rhaenyra that he’s not “perfect” like her and cut out for ruling Driftmark, as is his new right.

Picking up from last episode, Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best) arrives in Dragonstone and delivers the bad news to Rhaenyra and her family: King Viserys...

“Dreams didn’t make us kings,” Daemon Targaryen tells his wife, Rhaenyra. “Dragons did.” He tells her this with his hand around her throat, choking the air out of her. The Queen — or princess, depending on your point of view — had just informed him of the prophecy known as the “Song of Ice and Fire.” It’s Aegon the Conqueror’s prescient dream, confided in her by her father King Viserys, about a future Targaryen monarch who will save the realm from darkness in the North. It’s one of...

The episode included another harrowing birth scene in which Rhaenyra delivered her own baby, pulling out the stillborn herself.

But perhaps the most devastating scene of all came later in the show, when it was decided that Rhaenyra’s sons Jacaerys (Harry Collett) and Lucerys would ride their dragons to Winterfell, Storm’s End and the Eyrie in order to secure loyalty from the Starks, Baratheons and Arryns.

During Lucerys’ visit with Borros Baratheon (Roger Evans), it’s revealed that Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) has already arrived with the news that his brother now sits on the Iron Throne...

Kill List star Neil Maskell makes his feature directorial debut with the dark comedy Klokkenluider, which had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival. The title is Dutch for “whistleblower,” and Maskell’s script sees a couple hiding out in a remote Belgian cottage, nervously preparing to spill the beans to a newspaper journalist. When they’re joined by two bodyguards, tensions rise but relationships are formed. It’s an involving character-driven drama/thriller that recalls cult British fare such as Black Mirror, as well as the work of Maskell’s regular cohort Ben Wheatley.

After some slightly clunky establishing scenes between It guy Ewan (Amit Shah) and his wife Silke (Sura Dohnke), the film settles into a more confident comedic tone upon the arrival of Chris (Tom Burke) and Glynn (Roger Evans). A mismatched pair of heavies for hire, they’re tasked with keeping the couple safe – and also,...

British star Martin Freeman is the latest addition to the comedy feature adaptation of YouTube UK cult hit web series Svengali. Production begins in London next week, Variety reports. Svengali features real life rock stars and music biz personalities who play themselves. British stars Vicky McClure and Michael Smiley join Freeman, known for his roles as Tim Canterbury from the BBC's The Office and Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson's upcoming adaptation of The Hobbit. "A friend of mine told me about Svengali after about the third episode," Freeman said. "When he’d described it I was actually annoyed that I hadn’t been asked to do it. I went home, watched the lot, and knew I was right to be annoyed. It was charming, sussed, and very funny."
