With over three decades as the exclusive broadcaster of Women’s March Madness, ESPN has driven sustained audience growth in the U.S. and internationally, and now brings that expertise to Disney+ across Europe and South Africa.

Disney+ spans everything from documentaries to critically acclaimed drama, comedy to classic animation, and general entertainment.

  • Zazie Beetz Faces a Demonic Cult in Horror-Action-Comedy “They Will Kill You” – In Cinemas March 25

    Zazie Beetz Faces a Demonic Cult in Horror-Action-Comedy “They Will Kill You” – In Cinemas March 25

    A Twisted Horror-Action Ride Arrives This March

    Fun as hell. Bloody as hell. Satanic as hell. That’s the unapologetically outrageous energy behind “They Will Kill You,” the upcoming horror-action-comedy written and directed by Kirill Sokolov.

    Produced by Andy Muschietti, the filmmaker behind global horror hits It, It Chapter Two, and Mama, the film blends brutal action, dark comedy, and cult horror into one wildly entertaining cinematic experience.

    TWKY TP 023 High Res JPEG custom proxy

    Leading the cast is Zazie Beetz (Invincible), joined by Tom Felton, Heather Graham, Patricia Arquette, Myha’La, and Paterson Joseph.

    But surprisingly, the idea for the film began with something far more ordinary—an apartment building and a strange feeling about the neighbors.

    The Unexpected Inspiration Behind the Film

    In a newly released featurette, Sokolov revealed the unusual real-life scenario that sparked the story.

    Nearly a decade ago, the director and his wife rented an apartment in a building where residents appeared unusually close-knit. While that might sound friendly, the situation stirred a darker thought in his mind.

    “There was a real situation that inspired me for this script,” says Sokolov

    Everyone in the building seemed to know each other, creating an atmosphere that felt slightly unsettling.

    That small detail pushed the filmmaker’s imagination toward a bizarre possibility.

    “I wouldn’t be surprised if they came and take us and sacrifice us and maybe that’s how will they prolong their lives. After that, we just fast-forward to this movie.”

    From that fleeting thought came the seed of a wildly chaotic story about cults, survival, and one unforgettable night.

    Watch the Featurette here:

    Zazie Beetz Faces a Night of Survival

    In They Will Kill You, Zazie Beetz plays a young woman who finds herself trapped inside The Virgil, the mysterious headquarters of a demonic cult.

    What begins as a dangerous situation quickly spirals into a brutal fight for survival. To stay alive, she must endure a relentless night inside the cult’s twisted death-trap of a lair.

    The film mixes high-energy action with graphic horror and sharp humor, creating a bold genre mashup that feels both shocking and entertaining.

    Beetz says the script stood out because of its playful yet fearless tone.

    “What I really liked about the script is the very clear fun Kirill was having with this genre and with the story,” says Beetz in the featurette.

    Tom Felton on the Film’s Unique Story

    For Tom Felton, known worldwide for his role in the Harry Potter films, the screenplay immediately felt different from anything he had read before.

    “This script is so unique. There are so many elements of it that are not on anything that I’ve ever read before.”

    The actor points out that the film balances wildly contrasting themes—from family relationships to sinister cult rituals—while maintaining its darkly comedic tone.

    ‘They Will Kill You’ has so many aspects to it – from family bonding, to Satanic cults.” 

    That unexpected combination is exactly what gives the movie its distinctive personality.

    TWKY TP 001 High Res JPEG custom proxy

    A Blood-Soaked Battle at The Virgil

    Set almost entirely inside The Virgil, the film delivers a claustrophobic and unpredictable night packed with outrageous action, shocking kills, and wicked humor.

    The mysterious building becomes the perfect playground for the cult’s disturbing rituals—and a brutal obstacle course for the film’s reluctant heroine.

    As Beetz teases with a grin:

    “Get ready. It’s about to get bloody.”

    The Creative Team Behind the Madness

    They Will Kill You is produced by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Dan Kagan, with Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, Carl Hampe, Alex Litvak, and Kirill Sokolov serving as executive producers.

    Behind the camera, Sokolov works alongside a talented creative team including:

    • Isaac Bauman – Director of Photography
    • Jeremy Reed – Production Designer
    • Luke Doolan – Editor
    • Neil McClean – Costume Designer
    • Marc Smith – Visual Effects Supervisor

    The film’s music is composed by Carlos Rafael Rivera, with Andrea von Foerster as music supervisor and Richard Delia serving as casting director.

    They Will Kill You new poster

    Coming to Cinemas Soon

    From New Line Cinema and Nocturna, They Will Kill You promises a wickedly entertaining night at the movies—packed with outrageous action, dark humor, and relentless horror.

    Audiences are invited to step inside The Virgil when the film opens in cinemas internationally beginning March 25, 2026, and in North America on March 27, 2026, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

    One warning before you enter: surviving the night might not be easy.

    Beyond the Usual Weekend: Rockwell’s Summer Socials Debuts in Alabang!

    For many in the South, enjoying Metro Manila’s most talked-about comfort foods usually means crossing the city. This March, the South’s weekend landscape is taking on a different rhythm as Rockwell’s Summer Socials transforms Alabang Town Center into a gathering place for some of the Metro’s most sought-after culinary names. It’s not just a typical food fair; it’s your first glance at the new Rockwell lifestyle now in your neighborhood.

    The event’s lineup highlights a handful of vendors known for their distinctive takes on comfort food. Nolita Joe’s signature SPM pizza, topped with sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom, sits alongside the generously stacked burgers from Scratch Burgers. Mang Kaloy Fried Rice offers hearty bowls that elevate familiar Filipino flavors, while Takaw serves street-style tacos and Chino’s Deli offers sandwiches for those seeking something lighter.

    Sweet and refreshing options round out the lineup. Minimalist soft-serve from Miruku by Ujisan provides a cool break from the afternoon heat, while The Good Poison and Feisty serve small-batch bottled iced teas. For dessert, Ciento Cookies brings its signature oversized, gooey bakes.

    “We wanted to bridge the gap between these cult-favorite flavors and the South,” says a Rockwell events representative. “It’s about bringing that specific energy and taste to a community that values convenience without compromising on quality.”

    Tactile Art and Analog Memories

    The Summer Socials offer more than just food. Wabi Sabi’s pottery workshops, led by instructor Jason Tengco, offer a rare opportunity to engage in slow-paced, hands-on creation.

    To complement the atmosphere, DJs Nica and Cian provide a curated vinyl-style backdrop as the sun sets. Before heading home, attendees can visit The Memory Machine, a vintage chemical-process photobooth that offers a physical, analog alternative to digital snapshots.

    At the center of the story is Ryland Grace, played by Ryan Gosling. A middle school science teacher turned reluctant astronaut, Grace wakes up alone aboard a spacecraft with no memory of who he is or why he’s there.

    Gradually, fragments of his memory return. He realizes he has been sent on a critical mission—to stop a mysterious alien lifeform that is slowly draining the sun’s energy. If left unchecked, the phenomenon could doom Earth and threaten the survival of humanity.

    Facing overwhelming odds, Grace must rely on science, ingenuity, and determination to solve the crisis. Along the way, he encounters an unexpected ally who becomes crucial to the mission. Together, they confront the daunting challenge of saving the planet before time runs out.

    A Visionary Team Behind the Adventure

    Guiding this ambitious story are Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, celebrated for their inventive storytelling and dynamic filmmaking style. Their collaboration promises a film that balances thrilling spectacle with emotional depth and humor.
