The Creators of “Talk to Me” Are Back — With Something Even Darker
Brace yourself for an unsettling journey into the unknown. Acclaimed horror duo Danny and Michael Philippou — the minds behind the viral hit Talk to Me — return with Bring Her Back, a brand-new nightmare from A24 that promises to linger long after the credits roll.
A Sinister New Home, A Secret Ritual, A Sibling Bond Pushed to the Edge
In Bring Her Back, we follow siblings who find themselves entangled in a chilling mystery after moving into the isolated home of their new foster mother. What begins as a fresh start soon spirals into a harrowing experience as they uncover a secret ritual — one that demands a deadly price.
A24 has dropped the haunting official trailer, offering a first glimpse into the film’s eerie atmosphere and psychological horror. Shadows flicker, whispers echo, and something unspeakable waits in the dark.
Distributed by Columbia Pictures Philippines
Filipino horror fans won’t have to wait long. Bring Her Back will soon arrive in cinemas across the country. The film is distributed locally by Columbia Pictures, the Philippine arm of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
Stay tuned. The ritual begins soon — and it demands your attention.
Marvel fans, brace yourselves—something brilliant is coming your way. The teaser trailer and official poster for the highly-anticipated Marvel Television series, “Ironheart,” have just been unveiled, and it’s safe to say the hype is officially real.
Launching exclusively on Disney+ on June 25, 2025, “Ironheart” stars Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, a genius inventor whose self-made iron suits are reshaping the next generation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Meet Riri Williams: A New Era of Genius and Grit
Riri made her debut in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and now she’s stepping fully into her own power. With brains, boldness, and brilliance, Riri brings a fresh twist to the Iron legacy—this time, through the eyes of a Black teenage prodigy from Chicago.
“Ironheart is such a great character in publishing,” said Coogler. “In 2016, Brian Michael Bendis created a character who would be a successor of sorts to the Iron Man legacy. In the comic book, Riri Williams and Tony Stark had a relationship—she was a student at MIT who came from an almost polar opposite background as Tony, but they came together in their passion to better society. Eventually, the character gets her own identity as Ironheart, and other writers like Eve Ewing picked up from there, taking Riri Williams to Chicago.”
Tech Meets Magic in Marvel’s Most Inventive Storyline Yet
Set in the aftermath of Wakanda Forever, “Ironheart” returns us to Riri’s hometown of Chicago, where ambition meets arcane. As she perfects her cutting-edge armor, she crosses paths with Parker Robbins aka The Hood, played by Anthony Ramos—a mystical wildcard with charm and danger to spare.
With technology clashing against magic, Riri must navigate new threats and personal trials, all while building a name for herself beyond the shadows of Iron Man.
A Star-Packed Cast and Visionary Team Behind the Scenes
Joining Thorne and Ramos are an impressive ensemble:
Produced in collaboration with Proximity Media, “Ironheart” promises to deliver a powerful mix of heroism, heart, and heritage. The countdown begins now—June 25, 2025 is when the next generation of Marvel heroes takes flight.
Stay tuned, because Riri Williams is ready to leave her mark—and it’s going to be unforgettable.

The Final Destination Franchise Returns — With Blood Ties and Filipino Representation
Death never forgets — and this time, it’s coming for a family bound by blood and nightmare. Final Destination: Bloodlines marks a chilling new chapter in the beloved horror franchise, now more twisted than ever. Rated R-16 without cuts, the film is now showing in cinemas nationwide.
Teo Briones and Kaitlyn Santa Juana in “Final Destination Bloodlines”
What makes this installment extra special? Leading the cast are two part-Filipino rising stars — Kaitlyn Santa Juana and Teo Briones — bringing diversity and heart to the blood-spattered legacy.
“We Needed Real Chemistry”: Building a Believable Family Under Fire
Co-director Zach Lipovsky emphasized the unique challenge this new story posed: “Not only did we have to find amazing actors that all feel unique, grounded, and relatable, but they all had to work together as a family – you really needed to believe their chemistry and history from all having been together for a really long time.”
He added, “It wasn’t just about finding strong actors. They needed to feel like a unit, with deep, believable history. Kaitlyn and Teo brought that, and more.”
Best known for Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway and TV’s The Flash, Canadian-Filipino actress Kaitlyn Santa Juana plays the lead role of Stefanie — a brainy college student tormented by disturbing nightmares. Stefanie, as “a brainiac college student, very studious, top of her class. But she’s been suffering from nightmares that prevent her from reaching her full potential. And then she becomes like an action hero girl.”
Santa Juana says, “I mapped her out and, maybe this is a personal thing for me but, I think Stefani is three different people over the course of the movie. She’s kind of a detective in the beginning, trying to find answers to why she’s having the dream and why it keeps happening. And once she finds out, she becomes the protector of her family. And towards the end, she becomes a survivor of everything that she and her family have gone through.”
“What’s unique about this movie,” says Santa Juana, “is that it’s not a premonition, it’s a recurring nightmare of something that happened 50 years ago. It’s a huge twist.” Santa Juana’s previous acting works include “Dear Evan Hansen” on Broadway, and TV’s “The Flash.”
Teo Briones Steps In As Charlie: Brother, Fighter, Finalist
Filipino-American actor Teo Briones — a franchise fan himself — plays Stefanie’s younger brother, Charlie. “‘Final Destination 3’ is one of my favorite horror movies of all time,” he says. Devon Sawa, the star of the first movie, played Briones’s father in the first season of the “Chucky” TV series, which Briones was a part of. “Devon was the first person I texted when I got the part!” Briones says. They met up a few months later and, he says, “Devon regaled me with all kinds of stories that made me realize the ride I was in for. He told me that being a part of a death is a long and arduous process. The days are long and brutal, but they’re fun, and he told me I was in for an awesome journey that I was never going to forget. And that’s true!”
Of his work with Santa Juana, Briones says, “My relationship and connection with my own sister is one of the most important things in my life. Being able to recreate that a little bit in this movie was very special. Kaitlyn’s amazing, she’s so easy to work with. It didn’t really feel like acting in our scenes; it just felt like I was talking to my big sister.” Briones’s big sister is actress Isa Briones, who plays the divisive Dr. Santos on “The Pitt.” Their father is also an actor, JonJon Briones, who played the Engineer in the West End revival of “Miss Saigon,” and is also known for TV work including “Ratched” and the Emmy-winning “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.”
Teo comes from a lineage of talent, too. He’s the son of JonJon Briones (Miss Saigon, Ratched) and brother to Isa Briones (The Pitt).

A Terrifying New Beginning: The Premise of “Final Destination: Bloodlines”
In this film, college student Stefanie returns home, haunted by a nightmare tied to a horrific event five decades ago. Racing against fate, she seeks the only person who might stop the deadly chain — and save her family from the grisly justice of Death itself.
Backed by New Line Cinema and produced by franchise veterans Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor, the film promises nail-biting suspense, signature set-pieces, and plenty of bloody surprises.
“Final Destination: Bloodlines” is now showing in Philippine cinemas — R-16, no cuts. This is one chilling ride you’ll want to experience with friends.
For fans of the classic Karate Kid and the 2010 reboot, the cinematic dream is finally coming true. Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan join forces in the highly anticipated Karate Kid: Legends, landing in Philippine cinemas on May 28, brought to local screens by Columbia Pictures.
“Bringing these two legends together is beyond a producer’s dream,” says producer Karen Rosenfelt. “What’s fresh and unique about this movie is that both Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso are training a Chinese, Mandarin-speaking boy. It’s a story about family and recovering what’s important. And it works as a standalone if you have never seen a Karate Kid film, and it’s also a love letter to those who were there for The Karate Kid in 1984.”
A Brand-New Story That Honors the Classics
In Karate Kid: Legends, we meet Li Fong, a gifted kung fu teen played by rising star Ben Wang, as he adjusts to life in New York City. Facing bullies and cultural challenges, Li finds guidance in none other than Mr. Han (Jackie Chan). But with the stakes rising, Han reaches out to another legend—Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio)—for help. Together, they train Li in a unique blend of kung fu and karate, preparing him for the ultimate showdown.
Whether you’ve followed The Karate Kid since 1984 or are just meeting the dojo for the first time, this film promises a fresh and emotional journey rooted in mentorship, family, and personal growth.
Ralph Macchio on Returning to LaRusso
Macchio, also serving as an executive producer, took special care in reviving the franchise. “I’ve been careful over the years with protecting this franchise, protecting this character,” Macchio says. “The evolution of these characters, the themes in the original movie, they still stand the test of time and win over each generation.”
For Macchio, stepping into the dojo again wasn’t just nostalgic—it was essential. His dedication ensures that the legacy of The Karate Kid is preserved while evolving for today’s audiences.
“I have so much respect for him as an artist and entertainer,” he says. “He’s a legend in the field, whether it be motion pictures and martial arts or even comedy. He cares very much, and he’s very involved in every take, certainly in the martial arts takes. He’s like, ‘No, no, this is how it’s done!’ I kind of just say, ‘Okay!’”
Jackie Chan: “The Audience Wants to Come Back”
The excitement was mutual for Jackie Chan, who reprises his role as Mr. Han. “I wanted to come back to this role because the audience wants to come back,” he says. “We’ve been looking for a good story. We’ve been waiting.”
Working with Macchio also proved to be a highlight. “Our first time meeting was the premiere of The Karate Kid ten years ago. He’s an actor like me—so experienced,” says Chan. “He knows what a film needs. Immediately we just melded together. Whatever I’d say, he was already thinking.”
The Power of Legacy—and a New Beginning
What makes Karate Kid: Legends truly stand out is its ability to feel both fresh and familiar. By uniting two iconic characters and introducing a new hero, it speaks to both old fans and a whole new generation.
With Chan and Macchio passing on their hard-earned wisdom to a young protégé, the film becomes more than just another sequel—it becomes a celebration of everything the franchise stands for: honor, resilience, and self-discovery.
Catch the magic and the martial arts in full force as Karate Kid: Legends opens in Philippine cinemas on May 28.
Distributed by Columbia Pictures Philippines, the film is a must-watch summer blockbuster. Join the conversation online with #KarateKidMovie and follow @columbiapicph for updates.
