“We wanted to represent the broad spectrum of gaming, from indie, nostalgia titles to Triple A blockbusters, but also past, present and future games, horror games, science fiction, fantasy. So we wanted that diversification of something for everybody,” executive producer and supervising director Dave Wilson told TheWrap.

Creator and executive producer Tim Miller said the project is “inextricably interwined” with another animated series he’s known for: “Love, Death & Robots”

“It took longer than it should have, but I suddenly came around to the idea of, ‘Hey, let’s take our core business of video games, trailers...

“Secret Level” has been renewed for a second season at Amazon Prime Video.

The series is an adult animated anthology made up of short stories set in the world of various video games, such as “Pac-Man” and “Dungeons & Dragons.” Season 1 of “Secret Level” debuted with eight episodes on Dec. 10 with another seven set for Tuesday. Details about Season 2, including which video game worlds will be featured, remain under wraps.

Amazon says that “Secret Level” achieved the most-watched animated series debut of all time for the streamer within its first week, though exact viewership numbers were not provided. According to measurement from Luminate, the series was watched for 155.3 million minutes in the U.S. during its first week of availability, which translates to roughly 1.4 million views when divided by its 109-minute runtime.

The Season 1 cast of “Secret Level” includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, Keanu Reeves, Temuera Morrison, Ariana Greenblatt, Heaven Hart,...

Prime Video has renewed its freshman animated series Secret Level for a second season. Additional new episodes from Season 1 were released on the streamer today.

From Amazon MGM Studios and Blur Studio, Secret Level is an adult-animated anthology series featuring original stories set within the worlds of popular video games. Season 1 includes episodes highlighting Dungeons & Dragons, Sifu, New World, Unreal Tournament, Warhammer 40,000, Pac-Man, Crossfire, Armored Core, The Outer Worlds, Mega Man and Honor of Kings, to name a few. From the creatives behind Love, Death + Robots, each of the episodes is a celebration of games and gamers.

The title premiered on Dec 10, and within its first week, Prime Video says it became their largest new animated series debut compared to other recent releases including Sausage Party, Hazbin Hotel, Invincible, and The Legend of Vox Machina.

Season 1 was jam-packed with top voice acting talent including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart,...

The aims of the animated anthology Secret Level, whose 15 shorts are based on video and tabletop games, are clear enough: As production company Blur Studio puts it on their website, “Secret Level is our love letter to gaming.” But despite the tangible earnestness of that claim, the series fails to shake off the cynicism of its commercial function and blinkered politics. Beneath flashes of beauty and fits of inspiration lies an elaborate branding exercise.

Secret Level features a handful of shorts that conjure impressive moods. The bleak industrial landscapes in “Armored Core: Asset Management” all but subsume the episode’s protagonist (Keanu Reeves)—and the formidable mech he pilots—conveying the extent of his alienation and the stakes of his mission; the economical “Warhammer 40,000: And They Shall Know No Fear” spares us unnecessary dialogue, setting its space marines loose with sweltering kineticism; and the martial arts revenge tale of...

Prime Video‘s Secret Level presses start on the animated anthology series from Love Death + Robots makers on December 10. Still, one of the presentation’s biggest attractions, Mega Man, is teasing his adventure early. A new teaser trailer for the Mega Man episode of Secret Level is making the rounds online, giving us a taste of the Blue Bomber’s origin story and the animation style of the anticipated short.

Secret Level’s Mega Man teaser trailer finds Rock, aka Mega Man, attacked by one of Dr. Light’s inventions. As the two robotic characters trade light-based attacks, Dr. Light’s lab is set aflame as Rock, on his way to becoming Mega Man, realizes the strength of his Mega Buster. Wielding that kind of power comes with a lot of responsibility. Thankfully, Rock is a hero to his core, using the Mega Buster to defeat Dr. Wily’s evil automatons.

There's something about low-to-mid-budget action movies and Netflix that just seem to go very well together. Maybe it's just because action fans are loyal and these movies are often the ones that people don't get a chance to see in theaters. Maybe it's because people are often just looking for something easy enough to half watch in the background while doing other things. Right or wrong, action can be viewed as a better option for that than, say, an Oscar-winning drama. Whatever equation has made it so, Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth's "Land of Bad" has found a sizable audience on Netflix as of late.

The action/war flick from director William Eubank, who previously helmed "Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin," has been sitting comfortably in the Netflix Top 10 films chart for the past couple of weeks. As of this writing, it is sitting at number three behind "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire...

Land of Bad, Russell Crowe's under-the-radar action thriller from 2024, becomes a global hit on Netflix with 8.7 million views. Crowe, once an A-list actor, has faced setbacks recently but Land of Bad stands out with positive reviews. Despite box office disappointment, the action thriller is praised as a solid survival movie with a smart cast.

Land of Bad, Russell Crowe's under-the-radar action thriller from 2024, becomes a global hit on Netflix. Co-written and directed by William Eubank (Underwater), the new war film follows a US Army special forces team that is ambushed while on a mission to recover an intelligence asset, and their sole hope for survival rests with a distant Air Force drone operator who aids them during a grueling 48-hour battle. Other than Crowe, Land of Bad's cast includes Liam Hemsworth, Luke Hemsworth, Ricky Whittle, and Milo Ventimiglia.

Now, after flying under the radar for much of 2024, Crowe's...

Into the Badlands is “a high-octane sci-fi martial arts series” created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The AMC series is set in a dystopian future with humanity in ruins because of wars, and it follows the story of Sunny, a fierce warrior who rescues a teenager with a bounty on his head. They both journey through a dangerous territory known as the Badlands to survive. Into the Badlands stars Daniel Wu in the lead role, with Orla Brady, Sarah Bolger, Aramis Knight, Emily Beecham, Oliver Stark, Madeleine Mantock, Ally Ioannides, Marton Csokas, and Nick Frost starring in supporting roles. Into the Badlands is a unique series with a unique setting, and that’s why it is hard to find a series with a similar setting and story elements, but we have tried very hard to find shows with similar story elements and many high-octane action sequences.

Ricky Whittle left The 100 due to conflicts with showrunner Jason Rothenberg, leading to Lincoln's exit in season 3. Whittle endured mistreatment from Rothenberg, prompting him to choose the role of Shadow Moon in American Gods. Despite a toxic workplace on The 100, Whittle's departure ultimately allowed him for a fulfilling career shift.

After being a regular character, Lincoln, The 100's Trikru warrior, was killed off in season 3 because actor Ricky Whittle refused to continue working with showrunner Jason Rothenberg. Coming shortly after the controversial death of Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey), Lincoln's exit cemented The 100 season 3 as being one of its more controversial and least-liked chapters. Lincoln entered a relationship with The 100's Octavia Blake (Marie Avgeropoulos) in season 1, elevating him to an important part of the cast in season 2. At least, thats what was supposed to happen until personal conflicts got in the way.

Ricky Whittle left The 100 because he found...

The 100 saw several actors leave the show due to conflicts with the creator and harmful treatment of characters, but Eliza Taylor remained throughout. Actors on successful shows like The 100 often leave to pursue other opportunities, leading to the departure of key cast members. The deaths of fan-favorite characters like Lincoln and Lexa sparked controversy and criticism among viewers.

Many prominent The 100 actors left the show before it ended, though the "why" behind these departures varies greatly. The post-apocalyptic science fiction drama, which is an adaptation of Kass Morgan's young-adult novels of the same name, aired on The CW from 2014 to 2020. Across 100 episodes, the popular show received flack for the harmful ways it killed off fan-favorite characters, putting the TV series' creator Jason Rothenberg at the center of several high-profile conflicts. Even so, no matter how characters were written off the show, The 100 saw actors come and go for a variety of reasons.

Mike Colter has suggested that he may not reprise the role of Luke Cage in the McU's future, leaving Marvel Studios the opportunity to recast the Hero of Harlem. Luke Cage could be a huge character in the McU's future, particularly since he ends up leading the Avengers in Marvel Comics, so a new actor needs to represent this bigger role. Ricky Whittle, Trevante Rhodes, Laz Alonso, Y'lan Noel, Aldis Hodge, and Chad L. Coleman, among others, could be perfect at bringing a new Luke Cage into the MCU.

Mike Colter has recently suggested that he may not return as Luke Cage, despite having played the character for four years in Netflix's Defenders Saga, meaning the popular Hero of Harlem could be recast for the MCU. Mike Colter first appeared as Luke Cage in 2015's Jessica Jones season 1, before going on to appear in The Defenders, Jessica Jones season 2, and his own two-season series,...

John Stewart will debut in the Dcu's Lanterns series. Potential actors include John David Washington, Aldis Hodge, and Jovan Adepo. The DC Universe reboot has already cast its first Green Lantern, with Nathan Fillion playing Guy Gardner.

The John Stewart version of Green Lantern has been confirmed to be part of the new DC Universe, and there are a few exciting options for who could bring the popular DC hero to life. The Dceu failed the Green Lanterns, with the space cops having little more than an unnamed Lantern appear as a cameo in 2017's Justice League. Based on the Green Lantern Corps' lore and its members, a movie about one or more of Earth's Green Lanterns would have had the potential to become one of the Dceu's best films.

Director Zack Snyder cast the Green Lantern John Stewart for his Justice League, with Wayne T. Carr in the role.

It’s been four years since The Avenue first launched, and the indie distributor just scored its first top 10 film with William Eubank’s “Land of Bad.”

The action flick starring Liam Hemsworth, Russell Crowe, Luke Hemsworth, Ricky Whittle and Milo Ventimiglia opened on Feb. 16, had the fourth-highest per screen average over the holiday weekend and was the only independent film in the top 10.

While indie films in awards contention can often make a modest box office dent, it’s unusual for an action film like “Land of Bad” to reach such heights: the actioner’s four-day total on opening weekend was $2.1 million from 1,057 screens.

President of domestic marketing and distribution JJ Caruth says the box office success of “Land of Bad” is a strong signal that audiences are hungry for more action-packed movies. “I’m just happy to see an independent film succeed at the box office. It’s...

The success of the upcoming Amazon Prime show Anansi Boys will play a crucial role in determining whether American Gods will get a fourth season. American Gods faced challenges due to constantly changing showrunners, leading to a decrease in quality and its premature cancellation. Anansi Boys, with its connection to American Gods and the potential for success with Amazon Prime, can expand the lore and themes of the original series and potentially revive it.

The potential for a fourth season of American Gods largely hinges on the success of an upcoming Amazon Prime show set to continue the original series' legacy. Although American Gods season 4 has yet to happen, creators Neil Gaiman and Ricky Whittle are confident the success of their upcoming show on Amazon will provide them with an opportunity to bring the show back and ensure it receives a proper conclusion. Among a number of issues, American Gods...

Land of Bad has had a disappointing box office debut, becoming one of star Russell Crowe's worst theatrical outings. The movie is projected to make a 4-day total of just $2.2 million over the President's Day holiday weekend. The movie tied with Lisa Frankenstein for No. 9 on the domestic chart, recouping just over 10% of its $18.5 million budget.

Land of Bad has turned out a remarkably poor box office performance for a Russell Crowe action movie. The project, which premiered in over 1,000 theaters, stars the Oscar-winning actor as "Reaper" Grimm, a drone pilot who has the challenging task of guiding Air Force Tacp officer "Playboy" Kinney (Liam Hemsworth) on an emergency extraction mission. The ensemble cast of the movie, which was directed and co-written by Underwater's William Eubank, also includes Luke Hemsworth, Ricky Whittle, and Milo Ventimiglia.

For many people, a film like Land of Bad might not have enough to catch the eye. However, personally, almost everything about it made me instantly want to add it to my watchlist: a straightforward, action-driven premise based on a rescue operation; a quite decent cast with Liam (The Hunger Games) and Luke Hemsworth (Next Goal Wins), Russell Crowe (The Nice Guys), Ricky Whittle (The 100), and Milo Ventimiglia (This is Us); and most importantly, it’s directed by William Eubank, who made the overlooked yet loved amongst many of the people who’ve seen it, Underwater.

It is the typical visual feast for fans of ‘90s Hollywood action films which aims to honor and revisit the genre that made a lot of action stars globally popular. Hence, fans can expect a lot of gunshots, explosions, and hard-hitting scenes.

There’s a particularly intense scene early on in the new war movie Land of Bad. A young soldier is faced with a difficult choice when it comes to breakfast: Fruit Loops or Frosted Flakes. He stares at the two boxes intently, turning them over to compare their nutritional content (or lack thereof). It’s practically a metaphor for the choices facing moviegoers at their local multiplex these days.

A prime example would be William Eubank’s action-thriller, which feels like a Michael Bay film if he faced budgetary restraints. But for all its familiar aspects, Land of Bad does have a few things going for it, namely the presence of not one but two Hemsworth brothers (sadly, though, Chris isn’t one of them) and Russell Crowe, who spends most of the movie sitting in a chair staring at a screen and manages to completely steal it anyway.

Ricky Whittle reveals that he has been talking to Neil Gaiman about bringing American Gods to another streaming platform and finishing the story. Gaiman's success with other TV adaptations may help revive American Gods, with the potential for Netflix or Prime Video to pick it up. Despite its cancellation, Whittle and Gaiman's determination could ensure that American Gods makes a comeback, as they campaign for its revival.

American Gods star Ricky Whittle reveals that the Starz series may not have reached its end just yet. The fantasy drama series is based on Neil Gaiman's 2001 novel of the same name, where Whittle's Shadow Moon is caught in a conflict between the Gods of classic mythology and the new deities of the modern world. Despite earning widespread acclaim, the series was cancelled in 2021.

While the American Gods spin-off Anansi Boys is moving ahead at Prime Video, Whittle has revealed to Bleeding Cool...

TV plot twists that aren't planned ahead of time can feel cheap and leave dedicated viewers feeling unsatisfied. Unexpected plot twists can come out of left field and lack a solid foundation, like the ones in Riverdale and Pretty Little Liars. Some TV shows introduce plot twists that were not properly hinted at or developed, leaving viewers questioning if they were planned in advance.

Plot twists can make or break TV shows, and the well-executed ones often elevate their series and make them more memorable overall — but there are some massive TV turns that clearly weren't planned ahead of time. When TV shows include plot twists for the sake of shock value, it can feel cheap to dedicated viewers. This can make such developments memorable for the wrong reasons, landing them among the worst TV plot twists of all time.

Even when they do work out, it's usually noticeable when...

Another Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth collaboration was not a square on our 2024 pop culture Bingo card, yet it looks like we're about to check it off. Moviegoers are due to see the pair of Aussies team up for the second time in as many years in February's military action thriller "Land of Bad." The pair recently co-starred in the 2022 movie "Poker Face" (no relation to the TV show of the same name), a thriller about a high stakes poker game gone wrong that was directed by Crowe himself.

This time around it's not a card game that goes wrong, but a mission. "Land of Bad" follows a group of military men on an extraction assignment in the Philippines that takes a bloody turn, leaving one young officer at the mercy of the elements and local militia. Fortunately, he's not alone: he's got Russell Crowe's drone pilot droning in his ear,...
