A vague first teaser trailer has paved the way for a much more in-depth official trailer for Companion today, the new horror movie from Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, and producer Zach Cregger (Barbarian). It reveals the sci-fi twist of the upcoming genre movie, which stars Sophie Thatcher (Heretic, The Boogeyman) as a sex bot seeking bloody vengeance.

Watch the official trailer for sci-fi/horror movie Companion below.

Companion will release in theaters on January 31, 2025.

The film marks the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also wrote the script. 

“The silver lining of showing the audience [that] this is a movie about a robot is it’s a way to kind of get ahead of anyone dismissing it as another robot movie,” Hancock explains to EW today. “Because it’d be so easy to just be like, ‘This is M3GAN,’ or, ‘This is the Megan Fox movie [Subservience].’ It’s a little different to be like, ‘No, this is a robot movie, but it’s not like any other robot movie that’s out right now.’ It’s not A.I. gone wrong, it’s A.I. gone right.”

Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, “The Boys”) also star.

Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for…

“Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”

BoulderLight’s Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz will also produce, along with Vertigo’s Roy Lee. BoulderLight’s Tracy Rosenblum and Vertigo’s Andrew Childs will exec produce.

New Line Cinema presents A BoulderLight Pictures Production In Association With Vertigo Entertainment/Subconscious. You can purchase your tickets for Companion right now.

A prolific purveyor of Purely Entertaining Genre Movies, director Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter) is back this year with new movie In the Lost Lands, an adaptation of “Game of Thrones” creator George R.R. Martin’s short story. Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista star, and the official trailer has been unleashed today.

In the Lost Lands will arrive in theaters on March 7, 2025.

Watch the trailer for In the Lost Lands below and read on to learn more.

In the film, “A Queen sends the powerful and feared sorceress Gray Alys to the ghostly wilderness of the Lost Lands in search of a magical power, where the sorceress and her guide, the drifter Boyce, must outwit and outfight man and demon.”

Paul W.S. Anderson co-wrote the script with Constantin Werner. 

Producers include Jeremy Bolt (Resident Evil), Anderson, Jovovich, Bautista, and Jonathan Meisner through their production company Dream Bros Entertainment and Werner.

On his personal blog last year, George R.R. Martin called director Paul W.S Anderson’s upcoming film adaptation of his story “dark and twisted and atmospheric, and a lot of fun.”

“In the Lost Lands was one of my earliest fantasies, first published in 1982 in the anthology AMAZONS II,” George R.R. Martin also notes in the same blog post for additional context.

Fresh off last year’s box office hit Terrifier 2, star Lauren LaVera is back this year in director Joe Lam‘s indie The Fetus, a horror-comedy with a wild pregnancy horror premise.

Horror vet Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects) stars alongside Lauren LaVera in The Fetus, and the official trailer has arrived.

In the upcoming horror film…

“When Alyessa becomes pregnant, it brings up Chris’ deep-rooted trauma surrounding fatherhood. Upon discovering that their fetus craves human blood, they visit their father, Maddox, for answers.”

Joe Lam said in a recent statement, “With The Fetus, I wanted to delve into the emotional terrain of Alyessa’s unwanted pregnancy, exploring the complexities it imposes on her relationships with her father Maddox and her partner Chris. The fetus becomes a metaphorical antagonist, unraveling both Chris and Alyessa’s psyche, leading them on a haunting journey of fear, self-discovery, and the intricate web of family dynamics.”

“Ultimately, I hope this story challenges the boundaries of the horror genre,” he added.

Julian Curtis and Amy Arena also star in the indie genre movie.

The film hails from Shining Light Pictures and Barbhouse Productions.

Keep up with the film on the official website. Watch the new official trailer below.

With a post to his official Instagram account tonight, Scream 7 director Kevin Williamson has announced that filming on the franchise’s new installment is currently underway.

Williamson, who of course wrote the original Scream for Wes Craven and now finds himself in the Scream director’s chair for the very first time, writes on Instagram tonight:

“I’m not supposed to post about Scream and I hope Spyglass and Paramount will forgive me but when you have one of the best days of your life it’s really hard to keep it to yourself. What an extraordinary day I had working with an amazing and talented cast and crew. They brought their “A” game and had my back every step of the way. I’m so very grateful for this opportunity and to Wes Craven who was on my mind through it all. The profound impact he has had on my life and career is endless. What a day! I can’t wait for tomorrow!”

Stay tuned for much more on Scream 7 in the coming weeks and months.

Neve Campbell will be returning to the franchise as Sidney Prescott after sitting out the previous film in the saga, while Courteney Cox is also coming back as Gale Weathers.

The announced cast for Scream 7 thus far also includes Mason Gooding as returning character Chad Meeks-Martin plus fresh franchise faces Celeste O’Connor (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire), Sam Rechner (The Fabelmans), Asa Germann (“The Boys”), Anna Camp (“Hysteria!) and Isabel May (“1883”).

One thing we do know is that Isabel May is playing Sidney Prescott’s daughter, with the upcoming sequel expected to largely bring the focus back onto Sidney and her family.

The seventh installment will slash into theaters on February 27, 2026.
