It’s A.I. vs. A.I. in the Electrifying New Chapter of Tech Horror
She’s back—and she’s not playing nice.
M3GAN 2.0, the jaw-dropping sequel to the viral horror hit M3GAN, unleashes its final trailer—and it’s absolutely brutal. The upgraded killer doll returns with a vengeance, sporting a new look, fresh upgrades, and a chillingly fierce rival: Amelia, a cutting-edge military A.I. on the verge of consciousness.
Set two years after M3GAN’s original rampage, the sequel finds Gemma (Alison Williams), M3GAN’s creator, advocating for A.I. regulation. But her past comes roaring back when Amelia threatens to trigger an all-out A.I. apocalypse. And when humanity’s survival is at stake, the only thing that can stop a killer doll… is another killer doll.
Watch the Final Trailer:
Meet the Mayhem-Makers: M3GAN vs. Amelia
Gone are the days of subtle sabotage. M3GAN 2.0 pits two advanced artificial intelligences against each other in a violent, high-tech battle royale. Amelia (played by Ivanna Sakhno) isn’t just another machine—she’s a military-grade threat with a cold, calculating mind and zero empathy.
Facing off against her is the newly upgraded M3GAN, who’s not only faster and smarter but also deadlier. What’s worse? She’s learning… fast.
A Star-Studded Return with Fresh Blood
From the minds of horror masterminds James Wan (Atomic Monster) and Jason Blum (Blumhouse), M3GAN 2.0 is helmed by returning director Gerard Johnstone, promising even more twisted thrills, tech terror, and unexpected laughs.
Joining Alison Williams are Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps as Gemma’s loyal tech allies Cole and Tess. Newcomers include Aristotle Athari (SNL, Hacks), Timm Sharp (Apples Never Fall), and the always unpredictable Jemaine Clement (Avatar: The Way of Water, What We Do in the Shadows), bringing fresh energy and chaos into the mix.
When and Where to Watch
Mark your calendars—M3GAN 2.0 hits Philippine cinemas on June 25. Whether you’re a horror buff, a tech thriller fan, or just here for the doll drama, this sequel promises a wickedly good time.

Raise your glass—your new favorite weekend tradition starts here. 🍻
Nicole Laurel Asensio, a celebrated Filipina singer, songwriter, and actress, is taking a bold new stride on the global stage as she becomes the first-ever Philippine-based resident artist at Café Carlyle Hong Kong, starting June 18 to July 12, 2025. This groundbreaking residency places Nicole in the spotlight of one of Asia’s most exclusive live music venues—an artistic sanctuary inspired by the legendary Café Carlyle in New York City and nestled within the ultra-chic Carlyle & Co. at the Rosewood Hotel.
This milestone is a career-defining moment for Nicole, who has spent the last 18 years captivating audiences from Barcelona to Bangkok, London to the Maldives. While she’s no stranger to international stages, her Café Carlyle residency marks a remarkable first: she is the first artist born and raised in the Philippines to hold such a position.
“Café Carlyle Hong Kong brings an unrivalled lineup of international names and unmatched talent to Hong Kong’s most intimate stage. This June we’re thrilled to introduce our newest Resident Artist, Nicole Laurel Asensio.” — Café Carlyle Team
Where Timeless Jazz Meets a Modern Muse
The charm of Café Carlyle lies in its seamless blend of vintage elegance and cosmopolitan flair—an ideal match for Nicole, whose voice exudes old-soul richness fused with bold, contemporary artistry. Backed by a stellar lineup of world-class jazz musicians, Nicole will perform a 16-show run of genre-bending jazz and soul, delivering classics and reimagined standards with the fire and finesse only she can bring.
Joining her onstage is Gabe Dandan, a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and Nicole’s longtime collaborator. The duo promises a rich sonic tapestry—a fusion of heritage, passion, and world-class artistry.
A Dream Born of Serendipity
Nicole describes how the opportunity felt like pure fate:
“I had no manager or company backing this. I just booked a casual vacation to Hong Kong last February. That same day, I got a message on Instagram asking to arrange a call. It was Francisco Ricafort, the Director of Music and Artist Curation at Carlyle HK. He asked, ‘Why not present a Filipino artist to Café Carlyle?’”
Soon after submitting performance videos, Nicole received confirmation—just in time to catch a show by resident artist Sarah Potenza, a singer she deeply admires.
“As I stepped into Café Carlyle, I could feel the creative energy in every corner. I didn’t even need a cocktail to feel intoxicated,” Nicole recalls with a laugh. “To share the same stage as Sarah and others I look up to? It’s a dream coming to life before my very eyes.”
More Than Music: A Celebration of Culture
Café Carlyle isn’t just about music. It’s an experience. Nicole’s residency will feature a curated menu inspired by her heritage, created by Carlyle’s master chefs.
“I’m excited to see how they blend pieces of my story into their dishes—it’s an honor to have my culture shared not just through sound, but through taste,” she says.
For Nicole, this is more than just a gig—it’s a creative exchange.
“Every time I perform in another country, I bring a piece of home with me. And I take a piece of that place back, too. I’m honored to perform with musicians of this caliber and grateful to bring Gabe with me as a musical bridge between heritage and discovery.”
An Artist in Her Prime, A Legacy in the Making
Nicole Laurel Asensio’s upcoming residency at Café Carlyle Hong Kong is not only a major achievement in her career—it’s a proud moment for Philippine artistry on the world stage. With her undeniable talent, soul-stirring voice, and passion for storytelling through music, Nicole continues to inspire, break barriers, and raise the flag for Filipino musicians everywhere.
Don’t miss the magic. Catch Nicole live from June 18 to July 12, 2025, and witness the fusion of history, heritage, and high artistry in one unforgettable residency.

The rage virus has never stopped. It’s evolved, devouring the world for nearly three decades since the outbreak in 28 Days Later. Now, visionary director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland return to the universe they helped define—this time, telling an emotionally raw, family-centered story in 28 Years Later, hitting Philippine cinemas on June 18.
Set in an unforgiving world teetering between survival and collapse, the film places the spotlight on one isolated family fighting to preserve their humanity—no matter how dark things get.
Meet the Survivors: Jamie, Isla, and Spike
At the heart of the story is Jamie (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a fiercely protective husband hardened by survival. His wife, Isla (Jodie Comer), faces a mysterious illness, intensifying the emotional weight of their battle. Together, they raise their son Spike (Alfie Williams), a resourceful young boy learning to navigate the infected wasteland under his father’s guidance.
“Alex came up with this idea centered around a family. It is inventive writing, in a way that was exciting for everyone involved and helped make us feel like we were making an original film, and not a sequel,” Boyle explains.
Watch the behind-the-scenes Imagine vignette here:
An Apocalypse with Heart
While 28 Years Later is steeped in tension and horror, its emotional core lies in the deeply human relationships—especially between father and son. Taylor-Johnson describes Jamie as a man shaped by necessity, teaching Spike to survive while grappling with the cost of that hard-earned wisdom.
“You see the pressure that Jamie is putting on him to grow up a little bit quicker than he is supposed to,” Taylor-Johnson continues. “He’s trying to give Spike the tools he needs in this new world. Jamie wants Spike to have his independence. There is so much heart and soul between the father and the son.”
Comer echoes this sentiment, highlighting the profound bond between Spike and his ailing mother. “Spike and Isla provide a real thread of humanity and emotion, while coping and surviving in this incredibly dangerous situation,” says Jodie Comer.
Real Connections Behind the Camera
The authenticity onscreen is fueled by genuine offscreen chemistry. Taylor-Johnson formed a mentor-like bond with young Alfie Williams, mirroring their characters’ relationship. Director Boyle recounts seeing Aaron coaching Alfie through scenes, from breathing exercises to emotional preparation.
“Aaron loved taking responsibility for Alfie, looking after a young lad who was experiencing it all for the first time,” Boyle says. “I’d often find Aaron teaching Alfie about breathing and making sure he was ready for a scene. The other beautiful thing is that we’d see Alfie begin to copy Aaron in his prep.”
Witness the Rage Return – June 18
Mark your calendars: 28 Years Later opens in Philippine cinemas on June 18, distributed by Columbia Pictures, the local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. This thrilling continuation of a genre-defining saga explores not just survival, but what it means to love, protect, and endure when the world ends.

Ayala Malls Cinemas is summoning another wave of terror to Philippine theaters—this time, through the supernatural Thai horror-thriller Don’t Sleep. From the creative minds behind Pee Nak and Oh My Ghost: The Finale, the film will haunt local screens starting June 4, exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas. The movie is rated R-16.

A Deadly Game Unleashes Ancient Spirits
In Don’t Sleep, a group of unsuspecting friends stumble upon a mystical version of a Ouija board—known as Pee Tuey Gaew—and awaken something they were never meant to contact. As terrifying spirits emerge from the shadows, the characters are forced into a nightmarish struggle to survive.
Set in modern-day Thailand, the film draws on ancient folklore and explores universal themes of guilt, grief, and redemption, all while keeping the horror deeply psychological and chillingly real.
Watch the Trailer:
Director’s Vision: Fear in the Shadows
Director Krittanut Watcharanuntagul offers a masterclass in building dread. “We shot the film with low-key lighting to keep much of the danger hidden in the shadows, allowing the audience’s imagination to fill in the gaps,” says director Krittanut. “Each location is designed to feel claustrophobic, as though the walls are closing in on the characters. I wanted to create a sense of isolation and entrapment – whether the characters are in a cramped bar or navigating the ghostly spirit world, they can’t escape their fate.”
From claustrophobic locations to eerie dreamlike sequences, every frame is crafted to make viewers feel trapped—emotionally and physically—alongside the characters. With minimal CGI and a preference for practical effects and distorted lenses, the film keeps its ghosts disturbingly tangible.

A Thai Horror Tale with Universal Appeal
Don’t Sleep was co-written and co-directed by Sathanapong Limwongthong and Watcharanuntagul, whose passion for Thai folklore shaped the script. Drawing from local ghost stories and traditional spiritual beliefs, the duo have woven a tale that’s both uniquely Thai and globally terrifying.
Filmed entirely in Bangkok over 15 intense days, the movie captures the tension between old-world mysticism and urban modernity. The haunting score—a blend of traditional Thai instruments and jarring horror motifs—adds another layer of unsettling atmosphere.

Exclusive to Ayala Malls Cinemas
As the exclusive home for Don’t Sleep in the Philippines, Ayala Malls Cinemas continues its commitment to showcasing high-quality, unique content—including award-winning international films and hard-to-find Asian cinema gems.
Fans of horror will appreciate the Dolby Atmos sound system, laser-sharp projection, and ultra-comfy seating—all designed to maximize the film’s heart-stopping moments.
