The terror behind Passenger may not have stayed on camera.
A newly released featurette for the upcoming supernatural horror film reveals eerie behind-the-scenes stories from director André Øvredal and the cast, who claim strange and unsettling experiences took place while shooting the movie.
Watch the featurette, “The Set of Passenger was Haunted,” here:
Horror Followed the Cast and Crew Off Camera

Filming Passenger reportedly came with an unsettling atmosphere that many on set could not ignore. Cast and crew members describe bizarre moments, unexplained disturbances, and an eerie feeling that something unseen was nearby throughout production.
For a movie centered on a demonic entity that latches onto its victims, the real-life stories from set only add another frightening layer to the experience.

In Passenger, a young couple’s road trip spirals into horror after witnessing a gruesome highway accident. Thinking they escaped the tragedy, they soon realize a sinister force followed them from the crash scene.
The entity, known as the Passenger, begins haunting them relentlessly, turning their dream van life adventure into a terrifying nightmare they cannot escape.
Blending psychological tension with supernatural terror, the film delivers a chilling story packed with suspense and nerve-shattering scares.
A Stellar Cast Leads the Supernatural Thriller
The film stars:
Lou Llobell (Foundation)
Jacob Scipio (Bad Boys for Life, Bad Boys: Ride or Die)

The fight returns on a much bigger scale in “Mortal Kombat II,” and fans are already celebrating the sequel’s intense action, expanded mythology, and unforgettable game-inspired worlds.
“This movie is a love letter to MK fans. Fantastic sets, killer fights, and an upgrade in story telling all around. Will see multiple times! ,” raves a fan about “Mortal Kombat II” on Rotten Tomatoes.
Now showing only in cinemas and IMAX, the highly anticipated sequel pushes the franchise into thrilling new territory while staying faithful to the legendary video game series.
Expanding the Mortal Kombat Universe
After the success of the first film, director Simon McQuoid and the creative team wanted the sequel to feel larger, richer, and more immersive for longtime fans.
“My job as a director is to create, with all the elements, a tone, a very specific tone,” says director Simon McQuoid. “And that tone is to hold the audience in a state of wonder. And so all the choices – whether they be sets, lenses, costumes – it’s all to build that tone.”
That vision shaped every aspect of the production, from the costumes and cinematography to the elaborate set designs that transport viewers across multiple realms.
Producer Todd Garner revealed that the sequel finally gave the filmmakers the opportunity to fully explore the iconic environments from the games.
“The production designer, Yohei Taneda, and the art department did an incredible job on this film. During the first movie, we were very limited in the locations and sets we could shoot in. But we were given the opportunity in this movie to open the world up, go to different realms, and expand the world to include several Mortal Kombat levels and worlds that fans know and love.”
Building Four Distinct Fantasy Worlds
Acclaimed production designer Yohei Taneda, whose credits include Kill Bill Vol. 1 and The Hateful Eight, played a major role in bringing the film’s larger world to life.
According to Taneda, the chance to create several unique fantasy settings in one movie immediately captured his imagination.
“Kill Bill: Vol. 1,” “mentioned that I’d be able to create four different fantasy worlds in this one movie. And I was really inspired by that. Four different worlds in one movie! That’s a lot of work. But it gives you an idea of the scale and dimension of this film.”
Instead of relying entirely on digital concepts, Taneda preferred sketching his ideas by hand before presenting them to McQuoid.
One of the most visually ambitious locations is Edenia, designed with a blend of European and Asian influences. The realm evolves throughout the story, shifting from a vibrant kingdom into a darker and more corrupted world under Shao Kahn’s rule.
“I sketched the entire town of Edenia and the Castle. It has a European feel to it, but I wanted to add my own touch with a bit more of an Asian feel as well, and that made a nice balance. We also see a transition in the town from the reign of King Jerrod, where it’s green and beautiful, but then it turns into something quite dead and ugly under Shao Kahn. I enjoyed being able to design both. I found it interesting that I was able to tell so much of the story just in that one set. Netherrealm began as a futuristic city, with something of a sci-fi nature. But then I had the idea of taking some inspiration from Escher, the Dutch painter.”
Meanwhile, Netherrealm was envisioned with futuristic sci-fi elements inspired by the surreal artwork of Dutch artist M.C. Escher.
Iconic Mortal Kombat Arenas Return
Fans of the games can also expect the return of some of the franchise’s most recognizable battlegrounds, including The Pit and Deadpool.
Taneda understood the importance of recreating these legendary arenas faithfully for fans.
“I didn’t want to disappoint with my design for the Pit,” says the production designer. “With Deadpool, I focused more on the sort of materials that we would use, especially the rocks and the stones, to make it as physical and as authentic as possible. And then with the Sky Temple, I didn’t want to focus on just one culture. So I added a Japanese element to the Chinese style.”
For Deadpool, the production team focused on practical textures and realistic materials to make the environment feel grounded and physical. The visually striking Sky Temple also combines Japanese and Chinese influences, adding another layer of detail to the film’s world-building.
Johnny Cage Joins the Fight
In “Mortal Kombat II,” Earthrealm’s champions face their deadliest challenge yet as the ruthless Shao Kahn threatens the survival of humanity itself.
Joining the battle is fan-favorite fighter Johnny Cage, portrayed by Karl Urban.
The film’s cast also includes:
Adeline Rudolph
Jessica McNamee
Josh Lawson
Ludi Lin
Mehcad Brooks
Tati Gabrielle
Lewis Tan
Damon Herriman
Chin Han
Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden
Joe Taslim as Bi-Han
Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion
Directed by Simon McQuoid, the sequel delivers larger battles, more brutal fatalities, and a deeper exploration of the franchise’s mythology.
Critics Praise the Sequel’s Action and Scale
Early reviews have highlighted the film’s commitment to delivering the intense action and spectacle fans expect from the franchise.
MovieWeb described the sequel as:
“‘Mortal Kombat II’ is a marked improvement over the first film for all the right reasons,” wrote MovieWeb in their review. “It doubles down on what made the games popular and brings in a known commodity with Urban to shoulder the acting burden. McQuoid does not disappoint in his second stab at the franchise, providing red meat to loyal legions without any attempt to stray from the fantastic source material.”
Collider also praised the movie as:
“A bloody good time and a bone-crunching spectacle.”
With jaw-dropping visuals, fierce combat, and fan-favorite characters stepping into the spotlight, “Mortal Kombat II” aims to give audiences a cinematic experience worthy of the iconic franchise. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Prime Video has officially released the teaser trailer, key art, and exclusive first-look images for Elle, the upcoming prequel series inspired by the beloved Legally Blonde franchise. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios alongside Hello Sunshine, the series is set to premiere globally on July 1 in more than 240 countries and territories.
Even before its highly anticipated launch, the streaming platform has already renewed Elle for a second season — signaling strong confidence in the series’ bright future.
A Young Elle Woods Takes Center Stage
Set years before Elle Woods became one of pop culture’s most iconic law students, Elle introduces audiences to her teenage years in 1995. Long before Harvard and courtroom victories, Elle is simply a high school student trying to survive friendships, romance, and the emotional whirlwind of growing up.
While navigating awkward trends and complicated social dynamics, Elle leans heavily on the unwavering support of her family, especially her mother. Their close bond becomes the emotional heart of the story, helping shape the confident and determined woman fans eventually meet in Legally Blonde.
Packed with nostalgic charm and heartfelt moments, the series offers a refreshing new chapter for longtime fans and first-time viewers alike.
Behind the Scenes of Elle
The series was created by Laura Kittrell, known for her work on High School and Insecure. Kittrell also serves as co-showrunner and executive producer alongside Caroline Dries.
Executive producers include:
Reese Witherspoon
Lauren Neustadter
Amanda Brown
Marc Platt
Jason Moore, best known for directing Pitch Perfect, directed the first two episodes and also joins the project as an executive producer.
Bryan J. Raber and Asmita Paranjape serve as producers, while Josie Craven and Jen Regan are attached as supervising producers.
Meet the Cast
Lexi Minetree leads the series as young Elle Woods, stepping into the role made famous by Reese Witherspoon.

The screams, the chaos, and the outrageous comedy are back. A brand-new poster for Scary Movie has officially been unveiled, teasing the return of one of the most iconic parody franchises in movie history.
Opening in Philippine cinemas on June 10, the latest installment reunites original stars Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall for the first time in 25 years — a comeback horror-comedy fans have been eagerly waiting for.
This time around, absolutely no horror franchise is safe.
The Core Four Return for More Madness
After decades away from the franchise, the beloved cast returns to face another round of terrifying — and hilariously ridiculous — situations. Whether it’s masked killers, supernatural nightmares, or modern “elevated horror,” Scary Movie is ready to parody every trend dominating cinemas today.
The newly released poster hints at a blood-soaked, laugh-out-loud adventure packed with the over-the-top humor and fearless energy that made the original films global hits.
Alongside the returning stars are Kenan Thompson, Damon Wayans Jr., Sydney Park, Heidi Gardner, and several fresh faces joining the mayhem.
Every Horror Trope Is Fair Game
The official synopsis reads:
Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe. Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.
With sharp comedy and relentless pop culture references, the movie aims to deliver the same wildly entertaining formula that helped define early 2000s parody films.
A Reunion Behind the Scenes
The film also marks a reunion for the Wayans family creatives who shaped the original franchise. Produced by Rick Alvarez, Craig Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Keenen Ivory Wayans, the movie is directed by Michael Tiddes.

Now showing only in cinemas and IMAX, “Mortal Kombat II” levels up the action with larger-scale fights, devastating fatalities, and fierce new warriors entering the arena.

“This one is bigger in scope and scale,” says Wan.

Watch the Trailer Here:
Massive Fight Sequences Took Months to Prepare
With nearly 20 major fight scenes featured throughout the film, the production team spent months carefully planning every punch, kick, and finishing move.
Producer E. Bennett Walsh explains that preparation was essential to making the action sequences feel exciting while also supporting the story.
“We’ve learned that these fights take a great deal of preparation. We have about 20 fights in total and they all had to be carefully choreographed,” he says. “We made video clips so that everyone could understand how they needed to flow, and then broke them up to add in all the technical components that went into shooting them. We doubled the stunt preparation time to five months.”
The filmmakers worked closely with stunt coordinator and second unit director Kyle Gardiner to ensure each battle had its own identity and emotional weight.
“Within each fight you have to find its point of view, as well as the narrative that you need to weave into the story, so that the audience stays with it and doesn’t get fight fatigue. The fights need to have many layers, so that they don’t flatline. With enough time, we were able to design all the fights before we began shooting. That allowed us to take it to the next level and fine tune, which gave us a great advantage.”
For Gardiner, honoring the iconic video game franchise was one of the production’s top priorities.
“We stay true to the game at all times and the truth of the game itself. We have fatalities and brutalities. It’s all there. There’s blood, there’s gore, there’s everything! We pay homage to the game, but then we take it to another level entirely. It’s pretty awesome.”
The cast underwent demanding physical training throughout production, often balancing full shooting days with nonstop stunt rehearsals.
“The cast underwent a huge amount of training. It was quite brutal. They’d work all day, every day, and then if they weren’t on set, they’d be training with us. It was impressive to see them all handle the volume and really step up to the training.”
Director Simon McQuoid praised the cast’s dedication, noting that every sequence required precision, endurance, and emotional performance.
“They make it look effortless, but it’s not easy. They had to understand their performance and their character. As well as learning their actual lines, they also had to learn the fight lines of the choreography. It was a huge amount of work for each little sequence. But they all worked so very hard and I think that hard work really paid off in each and every performance. I mean, it was tough – like running a marathon. There were days where everyone was tired, but with a smile on every face.”
Karl Urban Enters the Arena as Johnny Cage
For Karl Urban, stepping into the world of Mortal Kombat meant jumping directly into stunt rehearsals from the moment he arrived.
“When I landed at the airport to start filming, they picked me up and drove me straight to a stunt rehearsal, because the stunt choreography was such a massive undertaking,” shares Urban. “So, from day one, I was thrown in at the deep end. We had an extraordinary stunt team – one of the best I’ve ever worked with.”
Urban also explored martial arts culture and tournament fighting to better understand Johnny Cage’s personality and fighting style.
Meanwhile, Tati Gabrielle, who portrays Jade, fully embraced the film’s action-heavy production.
“There were so many fight sequences, but I’m very big on stunts. I love them. I’m always like, ‘Can I do more? Can you put me on a wire? I want to do more!’ Every little step needs so many drills. But it’s so much fun. And I felt so badass all the time doing all these great stunts!”
For Adeline Rudolph, who plays Kitana, mastering the character’s signature steel fans became one of the highlights of filming.
“The fans that Kitana fights with were my favorite part. They were so much fun to play around with. Once we were in the training phase, I had a normal pair of fans to begin with, and we just started to play around with those to figure out what felt comfortable and what felt good. I love my fans! I was annoyingly obsessed with them.”
Real Martial Arts Experience Added Authenticity
Several members of the cast brought real martial arts backgrounds to the production, including Max Huang, who trained for years under the Jackie Chan stunt team.
“To me, it’s about telling a story through movement,” says Huang. “I’ve been in the stunt and action world for many years, so it feels natural to me.”
He also praised co-star Ludi Lin for dedicating himself completely to the demanding fight choreography.
“Ludi Lin, who plays Liu Kang, was not so familiar. He trained so hard. He’d text me, ‘Let’s go down to the gym and train the choreography, train the fight.’ He put in so much hard work and I think it really paid off. It shows in our fight together.”
A Bigger, More Explosive Mortal Kombat Experience
For producer James Wan, creating unforgettable action while remaining faithful to the beloved franchise was always the mission.
“We all felt that we wanted to get the fights correct,” says James Wan. “We wanted them to feel special and unique to each of the different characters, but also to depict the characters in the correct way. We spent a lot of time designing the set pieces with the fights, focusing on each combatant’s special traits and abilities, which shaped the sequences while propelling the story forward as well.”
Packed with spectacular battles, iconic characters, and brutal finishing moves, “Mortal Kombat II” promises an adrenaline-fueled cinematic experience fans won’t want to miss.
Things are about to get terrifyingly personal in “Evil Dead Burn,” the newest chapter in the iconic horror franchise that has terrified generations of moviegoers.
