Blumhouse Productions, the house of horror that has given audiences countless sleepless nights, is back with another bone-chilling thriller—Speak No Evil. Set to terrify Philippine audiences starting September 11, this latest Blumhouse feature promises to be a cinematic experience you won’t easily forget.
A Haunting Reimagining
The story behind Speak No Evil began with a simple phone call to producer Jason Blum. The call was from an executive who had just watched the 2022 Danish film Gaesterne, a thriller so unnerving it demanded immediate attention. Intrigued, Blum watched the film, and by the time the credits rolled, he was convinced of its potential.
“I’m always glad to be the guy who gets the call when someone sees something disturbing— if it ruins your day, call me!— so I arranged to see it and I was floored. As it unfolded, I recoiled with each new revelation, and when it was over, I couldn’t shake it. I believed that in the right hands, an English language reinterpretation could be a very memorable, very unsettling, very special film,” Blum says.
A Vacation Turned Nightmare
Speak No Evil tells the story of an American family—Ben, Louise, and their pre-teen daughter, Agnes—who find themselves struggling with the mundane realities of life in England. When they meet a seemingly charming British family, led by the charismatic Paddy, they are invited to a picturesque farmhouse in the countryside. However, what starts as an idyllic escape soon spirals into a nightmare, as the family’s deepest fears are brought to life.
Ant, Ciara and Paddy
James Watkins, the visionary horror writer-director behind the film, immediately saw the potential within the story. “I loved the sly and relatable conceit: people on holiday questioning the direction of their lives and befriending a couple who they think might hold the answers,” Watkins says. “The film really hooked me on a thematic level: its exploration of how modern society shackles us with rules and how we struggle to negotiate them.”
A Tale of Modern Fears
The film dives deep into the psyche of its characters, particularly Ben, who is struggling with the feeling that life has passed him by. “The Daltons, particularly Ben, have been ground down by life, or at least, their lives don’t match up to the packaged perfect lives they are daily told they should be living by the feeds on their devices,” Watkins says. “‘Affluenza’ used to be the term – people who have lots of material things but are still struggling emotionally. Ben is particularly troubled. He feels that he’s past his prime, on the scrapheap. He’s not sure how to negotiate the modern world and its new codes,” Watkins says.
When the Dalton family arrives at the British farmhouse, their dreams of an authentic, rural escape are quickly shattered. The situation rapidly devolves into a twisted exploration of privilege, social norms, and the dangerous allure of a simpler, more primal existence.
Dalton Family – Ben, Louise and Agnes
“Paddy opens a door for Ben that makes him wonder: is there a better way of living?” Watkins continues. “But when they visit the farm so Ben can live out these fantasies of rural authenticity, things aren’t quite what they imagined. The film becomes a kind of ‘check your privilege’ morality tale: Be careful what you wish for when you are complacent about your security and comforts, when you’re feeling trapped by ‘social norms’ and when you want to loosen up and find your animal self. You may think you want danger. But when real danger comes, do you even know how to deal with it?”
Don’t Miss Out

Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, “Blink Twice,” is a party-turned-nightmare about the want of power, the abuse of power and taking power back. The film features a captivating performance from Naomi Ackie as Frida, a complicated heroine who challenges victim narratives.
On why she cast Ackie as her film’s main character, Frida, Kravitz says that Ackie brought a sweetness to Frida that she wasn’t expecting. “It was a bigger leap than I was thinking originally from the badass that she becomes,” Kravitz says of Ackie’s performance. “There’s a big innocence to her that’s part of her face too.”
For the other main character, Slater King, Kravitz wanted someone who was charming and who would make the audience feel safe. “Who else is that but Channing Tatum?” she says. “The whole world would be like, yes, I would go on vacation with you and feel totally safe. There’s nothing creepy about him.”
In the psychological thriller “Blink Twice,” when tech billionaire Slater King (Tatum) meets cocktail waitress Frida (Ackie) at his fundraising gala, sparks immediately fly. He then invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. But as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.
Keeping the party alive
For the characters that surround Frida and Slater – the women in Frida’s position and the guys that are part of Slater’s posse – Kravitz was intent on building an ensemble that the audience wanted to hang out with, keeping the party alive before things get very dark.
“It was important that it felt like one big group,” says the director. In that she looked to bring in a range of personalities. Christian Slater plays Vic, the jerk that the rest of them put up with, while Haley Joel Osment is Tom, who has a sweetness that masks microaggression. Simon Rex is Cody, in Kravitz’s words an “overly Kumbaya dude” who annoys the other guests as he blathers on about what he has made for dinner, while Levon Hawke is the innocent Lucas.
Frida arrives with her best friend Jess, played by Alia Shawkat. “Jess is kind of the whistleblower, if you will,” Shawkat says.
According to Ackie, cultivating a “best friend vibe” with Shawkat was easy. “We found out we had a similar sense of humor,” Ackie says. “We were dancing together, we were drinking together, we were talking about deep s**t, we were talking about art, we were talking about friendship.”
In addition to Frida and Jess, the other women on the island include Adria Arjona as Sarah, a “Survivor” alum with whom other women feel competitive, as well as Liz Caribel Sierra and Trew Mullen as the fun-loving Camila and Heather, respectively. In Heather, Kravitz fulfilled her dream of wanting to create “a female Spicoli, stoner character.” Spicoli is the stoner dude in the 1982 cult classic “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” popularized by Sean Penn.
“They are all kind of based on people that I know and kind of finding the different personalities and fitting them together was like a puzzle,” Kravitz says.
Geena Davis, meanwhile, plays Stacy, one of Slater’s sisters, who symbolizes female complicity in his actions. Considering Davis’s activism around women in film, her presence offers a bit of a meta text for the viewer. “I’ve been such a huge fan of Geena’s forever,” Kravitz says. “She’s one of the people who has been having this conversation way before, so the fact that she read it and got it and wanted to be a part of it, felt really good.”
As for the caliber of the ensemble, producer Bruce Cohen says: “We punched way above our weight in terms of getting this extraordinary ensemble of actors to be in the movie in what on the page could have been smaller parts than they might have been interested in.”
Fellow producer Tiffany Persons agrees, saying that the casting is what “made the magic.”

The mischief-making demon in black-and-white stripes is back! Michael Keaton returns as Beetlejuice, the bio-exorcist with a penchant for chaos, in the much-anticipated sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” This film, directed by the visionary Tim Burton, reunites original cast members Winona Ryder (Lydia Deetz) and Catherine O’Hara (Delia Deetz) with newcomers Jenna Ortega, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, and Willem Dafoe. The film promises to deliver the same dead(ly) charm, ghastly humor, and quirky antics that made the 1988 original a cult classic.
“It’s great when you see people that you haven’t seen for a while, and then you go back into it,” says Burton. “I didn’t realize it’s been like decades. You know, it felt like yesterday, and it’s quite amazing when that happens. It was great. Honestly, it was strangely emotional seeing them all together again. But that’s what made it a special thing.”
Despite the success of the original film, discussions of a sequel floated around for years without much traction. Burton reveals that what ultimately drew him back was the idea of revisiting the Deetz family 35 years later. “It’s like, what happened to the Deetz family? You know, it’s 35 years later, what happened to Lydia, this interesting teenager? And so you start to use your own life experience: you’re an interesting teenager. What happens when you become an adult? Do you have children? What are your relationships like? What have you become? Things happen to all of us as we get older and change – relationships, children – all those things. That was the nucleus of it for me that got me back interested in it – what happened to the Deetz family. It was quite emotional for me to revisit these characters.”
The Plot Thickens
In “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the Deetz family is drawn back to their eerie roots in Winter River following an unexpected family tragedy. Lydia’s life is thrown into turmoil when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid (Jenna Ortega), stumbles upon the mysterious model of the town in the attic, accidentally reopening the portal to the Afterlife. With Beetlejuice lurking just a name away, chaos is sure to ensue as the demon prepares to unleash his signature brand of mayhem once more.
The screenplay, crafted by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Wednesday”), with a story developed alongside Seth Grahame-Smith (“The LEGO® Batman Movie”), brings fresh twists to the beloved characters while paying homage to the original film.
A Nervous Return
Michael Keaton, who made Beetlejuice one of his most iconic roles, admits he was nervous about stepping back into the character’s shoes. “I was nervous, really nervous, because the choice that I made, that was a big leap. It was a risky move that happened to have worked. So then, you think, ‘Oh geez, can I pull that off again after all these years?’ I think there was way more pressure on this one – we didn’t really want to mess this up. I was very nervous about it and me. But we hope we got there. I think we did.”
Keaton was especially thrilled to reunite with his original co-stars, Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara. “I was praying they would be back in it; you really need Catherine and Winona. To have them back was really fun. Winona is the sweetest and she just fit right back in… And Catherine’s a pal of mine – this is the third time we’ve worked together. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Winona Ryder, who reprises her role as Lydia Deetz, echoes Keaton’s sentiments, describing the experience as “startlingly similar” to the original film. “startlingly similar. I don’t want to say even better, but… Well, these are the same characters, but they’re just older. Having been through the first one and the effect that it had, there was pressure in coming back to it, but there was also this complete trust, because it’s Tim. And also, I was going into something really, really brilliant and really special, because I’d been there when I was 15. And that’s all Tim, and that’s all Tim’s heart. His heart is just so fun, and it’s such a beautiful playground of emotion and humor, and everybody lives inside of it. You get to live in it for that time and it’s a really, really beautiful place to be.”
For Catherine O’Hara, who plays Delia Deetz, the “Beetlejuice” world holds a special place in her heart, not just for the fun but for personal reasons as well. “I met my husband [production designer Bo Welch] on the original, so that’s my first thought when I think, ‘What does that movie mean to me?’” she shares. “He designed the sets for the first movie. And Tim made him ask me out. So, I love them both.” Working with Burton, Keaton and Ryder on the sequel was “so fun! Like no time has passed,” says O’Hara. “It’s got the same great, loose, fun vibe that the first movie had. And that comes from the top… Tim and his great producers, who let him do what he does best.”

Look Back found the voices for the main characters, Fujino and Kyomoto, in Plan 75’s Yuumi Kawai and Mizuki Yoshida from Alice in Borderland, respectively. Look Back is the anime film adaptation of a one shot manga from Tatsuki Fujimoto, creator of Chainsaw Man. The film is helmed by Kitoyaka Oshiyama, with animation coming from Studio Durian.
Look Back tells the tale of two girls who couldn’t be more different, as Fujino is confident and Kyomoto is a shut-in who doesn’t leave the house. Their mutual love for drawing manga brings them together in a story of growing up and moving forward.
Yuumi Kawai lends her voice to the confident artist Fujino, who worked hard to embody her character. “Look Back” is a manga that touched the hearts of many people. This time, Director Oshiyama and the rest of the production team created an animation, and I added breath and voice to the story in an attempt to add new color to the time that Fujino and Kyomoto lived. This was the first time I had the opportunity to participate in the world of anime, and I did my best to convey the earnest voice that goes along with Fujino’s body, which moves wonderfully in the drawings,” she says.
Playing the role of the shy Kyomoto is Mizuki Yoshida, who recalls reading the manga for the first time, saying, “When I first read Look Back, I was shocked by the realistic world that Tatsuki Fujimoto had drawn, and I was really curious to see how this work would be turned into a movie. I was looking forward to it.”
Yoshida was ecstatic to be part of the world creator Fujimoto has built. “When I auditioned for the role of Kyomoto and saw the video for the first time, I was so moved that even though it was an unfinished picture, I said, ‘Wow! That world is alive!’ and I burst into tears during the recording, even more so when I saw the footage of Fujino and Kyomoto. I fell in love with the book. It was my first time working as a voice actor, but I put my heart and soul into my role,” she says.

DreamWorks Animation has just released the highly anticipated trailer for The Wild Robot, their latest animated feature, which promises to take audiences on a deeply emotional and whimsical journey. The film stars Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of Roz, a robot who embarks on an unexpected adventure of survival, self-discovery, and the power of love. The movie also features the voices of Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, and many other celebrated actors.
Roz’s Adventure in the Wild
Based on the #1 New York Times bestselling novel by Peter Brown, The Wild Robot is directed by Chris Sanders, whose previous works include Lilo & Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon. The story follows Roz (voiced by Lupita Nyong’o), a robot designed for life in a futuristic city, who finds herself shipwrecked and stranded on a remote, uninhabited island. Far from the world she was built for, Roz must adapt to her new surroundings and learn to navigate the challenges of the wild.
“I hope that audiences relish the beauty, adventure, and emotion of this movie,” says Nyong’o. “It’s not afraid to pull at your heartstrings, and I hope audiences enjoy that ride. Ultimately, the message of The Wild Robot, both the book and the film, is that kindness is an innate quality we should hone, and there’s value in staying true to yourself while embracing change.”
An Unlikely Family and an Emotional Journey
The heart of The Wild Robot lies in Roz’s unexpected role as a parent to a baby gosling named Brightbill, who hatches and bonds with her. Kit Connor, known for his role in Heartstopper, lends his voice to Brightbill, bringing depth to the character’s journey of self-discovery.
“Brightbill is on a journey of self-discovery,” Connor shares. “At the start of the film, Roz is an unfeeling robot. Brightbill teaches her about kindness and love, and in turn, their mother-son relationship continues to grow stronger as the story progresses. Their evolving connection not only brings warmth to the story but also emphasizes the power of empathy and understanding in overcoming challenges. And that love and kindness that Roz learns eventually helps them both succeed. Throughout the film, we see him growing more confident and learning to love the things that make him different.”
Meet the Star-Studded Cast
The Wild Robot boasts an impressive voice cast, including Pedro Pascal as the cunning fox Fink, Catherine O’Hara as the wise opossum Pinktail, Bill Nighy as the dignified goose Longneck, and Stephanie Hsu as Vontra, a robot who crosses paths with Roz. The film also features the iconic voices of Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames, adding further star power to this already stellar lineup.
A Cinematic Experience Like No Other
The film is set to open in Philippine cinemas on October 9, promising a visual and emotional feast for audiences of all ages. The Wild Robot is not just an adventure story; it’s a tale of life, loss, and the profound bonds that can form in the most unlikely of circumstances.
DreamWorks Animation presents The Wild Robot, a captivating adaptation of Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning novel. The film tells the epic tale of Roz, a ROZZUM unit 7134 robot, who must survive on a remote island after a shipwreck. Through her journey, she learns to adapt to the wild, build relationships with the island’s animals, and ultimately becomes the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.
With stunning animation and an all-star voice cast, The Wild Robot is a heartwarming story that reminds us of the innate kindness within us all and the power of love and empathy in overcoming life’s challenges.

Get ready for a whirlwind of emotions as Colleen Hoover’s #1 New York Times bestselling novel, It Ends With Us, comes to life on the big screen. This captivating story follows Lily Bloom’s journey to a new life in the bustling city of Boston, where she encounters opportunities for love and self-discovery.
The Charismatic Ryle Kincaid
Enter Ryle Kincaid, a charismatic neurosurgeon who immediately captivates Lily. Actor Justin Baldoni, renowned for his role as Rafael Solano in Jane the Virgin, takes on the challenge of portraying Ryle while also directing the film. Interestingly, it was Hoover herself who suggested Baldoni for the role.
“Ryle may not be exactly what viewers expect,” Baldoni explains. “I wanted to portray him as a complex, smart man who has never dealt with old traumas. There is absolutely no excuse for what he does in the film. We wanted to show an example of a complex and seemingly impossible situation that so many people live through. Showing that there may be real love while not running away from that fact that there is also real harm.”
The Return of Atlas Corrigan
As Lily and Ryle’s relationship unfolds, her childhood sweetheart, Atlas Corrigan, reenters her life. Brandon Sklenar, who plays Atlas, describes him as the antithesis of Ryle. “Atlas and Ryle are polar opposites,” Sklenar notes. “Ryle has a manipulative, toxic presence. Atlas is strong and sturdy, an example of what masculinity can be in a calm, present, and open way. Unlike Ryle, he has no need for validation. When he’s with Lily, he’s just purely there for her.”
A Tale of Contrast and Growth
Hoover highlights the contrast between these two pivotal characters and praises Sklenar’s portrayal of Atlas. “Atlas is who Ryle wishes he could be: someone who doesn’t blame his past for his present,” Hoover shares. “Atlas has learned and grown from his hardships, rather than shrinking because of them. I needed to see an openness and tenderness in Atlas that we wish wasn’t missing in Ryle, and Brandon portrays that beautifully.”
Adapting the Novel for the Screen
Baldoni and the team took creative liberties with the adaptation, with the blessing of Hoover’s fans, to gradually unveil the abusive nature of Lily and Ryle’s relationship. “We decided to bring that realization out slowly, like a recovered memory,” Baldoni explains, ensuring a powerful and impactful narrative experience.
It Ends With Us is a poignant tale of resilience, love, and self-discovery. It follows Lily Bloom (Blake Lively) as she rises above a traumatic childhood to start anew in Boston and pursue her dream of opening a business. Her chance meeting with charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni) leads to an intense connection, but as the layers of their relationship unfold, Lily begins to recognize patterns reminiscent of her parents’ tumultuous relationship. When her first love, Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar), reappears, Lily is faced with an impossible choice that tests her strength and resilience.
Distributed by Columbia Pictures, a local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International, It Ends With Us hits cinemas in the Philippines on August 7. Join the conversation and connect with the film using the hashtag #ItEndsWithUsMovie on social media @columbiapicph.
Countless families have cherished Crockett Johnson’s Harold and the Purple Crayon since its publication in 1955. The timeless story of an adventurous toddler who creates entire worlds with his magical purple crayon is getting a delightful twist in its latest film adaptation. In this version, Harold has grown up in his fantastical world and decides to draw a door into the real, modern world.
An Adventure Beyond Imagination
Producer John Davis shares insights into the thrilling journey Harold embarks upon in the film. “Harold and his friends are transformed from characters on the page to adventurers on a journey of self-discovery,” Davis says. “Their story is brimming with passion, imagination, and a sense of heart.”
Oscar-nominated director Carlos Saldanha, who read the original story to his own children, brings a deep personal connection to the film. “The original story is very simple and charming,” he reflects. “I love the way this movie expands on it. In the book, Harold is very sheltered, but entering the real world exposes him to the harsh realities of everyday life. He discovers new emotions, becoming a more complete and fuller human character, all while retaining his innocence.”
A Star-Studded Cast
Playing the role of the intrepid Harold is Zachary Levi, who sees the film as more than an adaptation. “Harold and the Purple Crayon is a love letter to imagination itself,” Levi remarks. “There is no Harold without imagination. The power of imagination is just as integral to the movie as it is to the book.” When asked what he’d draw if he had Harold’s purple crayon, Levi opts for convenience. “The airplane scene was a lot of fun,” he says. “Maybe I’d draw a plane.”
Co-star Zooey Deschanel, who has also read the book to her children, shares her excitement. “I’ve been reading the book to my kids since they were really little,” she says. “It’s a much beloved book in my house, and I think this is the type of movie parents will want to go see with their kids.”
Rediscovering the Magic
Director Saldanha finds magic in something as mundane as a crayon and invites audiences to share that magic and rediscover the power of imagination. “Pick up a crayon, and the possibilities are endless,” he enthuses. “With everything happening in our daily lives, we forget the power of the imagination, the power of believing, the power of dreaming, and the power of ‘drawing’ your way into a better place. This film invites audiences to rediscover that magic.”
So, grab a friend and set off into a world of adventure as Harold and the Purple Crayon opens in Philippine cinemas on August 21. #HaroldAndThePurpleCrayon
