Y: The Last Man Will Not Return For a Second Season on FX on Hulu

Y: The Last Man will not be returning for a second season on FX on Hulu, but showrunner Eliza Clark has confirmed that she is "committed to finding Y its next home."

Clark shared the news on Twitter, saying that she and the team found out that the show was getting cancelled despite there being "so much more left to tell."

"We have learned that we will not be moving forward with FX on Hulu for Season 2 of Y: The Last Man. I have never in my life been more committed to a story, and there is so much more left to tell," Clark wrote.

"Y: The Last Man is about gender, about how oppressive systems inform identity. We had a gender diverse team of brilliant artists, led by women at almost every corner of our production. Producers, writers, directors, cinematographers, production design, costume design, stunt coordination, and more. It is the most collaborative, creatively fulfilling, and beautiful thing I have ever been a part of. We don't want it to end.

"FX has been an amazing partner. We have loved working with them, and we're sad YTLM is not going forward at FX on Hulu. But we know that someone else is going to be very lucky to have this team and this story. I have never experienced the remarkable solidarity of this many talented people. We are committed to finding Y its next home. #YLivesOn"

Brian K. Vaughn, the author of the comic book series the show is based on, shared his support on Instagram, saying this "is not the first time in twenty years i've seen Yorick & co. escape the seemingly inescapable!"

"I love this show, and I'm very hopeful Y will find a new home, not just because it happens to employ more extraordinary women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community - both in front of and behind the camera - than any project I've ever been a part of, but because they've made something spectacular, the kind of thoughtful, contemporary, fearless evolution of the comic that @pia.guerra and I always wanted," Vaughn wrote.

The show is still in the middle of its first season, and Vaughn went on to encourage fans to stay loud and "let the world know: #YLivesOn."

"These next three episodes are the very best of the season, so please keep watching, and if you want to see this journey continue as much as I do, we encourage you to let the world know: #YLivesOn," Vaughn concluded.

Dune Set to Premiere on HBO Max One Day Early

While Dune was originally set to be released on HBO Max on October 22, the film will now release one day earlier on October 21 to match the Thursday night theatrical screenings.

As with many films, the first showings for a Friday release date usually begin the Thursday night before, and now HBO Max subscribers will get to see Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel beginning on October 21 at 3pm PT/6pm ET.

Dune made its international debut last month and opened with ticket sales of $36.8 million. Since then, the film has passed the $100 million mark and should see a significant bump when it finally arrives in North America and China this week.

Dune leads an exciting October for HBO Max that will also see the release of Curb Your Enthusiasm's 11th season and has already seen the addition of the Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark and the third season of Succession.

In our Dune review, we said that it "is a gorgeous but imperfect epic, a technical wonder that spends too much time setting up a third act that never comes."

For more on Dune, check out our explainer of the ending, Hans Zimmer's thoughts on composing this sci-fi epic's otherworldly score, and our look at how the look of the villainous Harkonnens were created.

Halloween Kills Terrifies the Competition to Secure a Weekend Domestic Box Office Victory

Halloween Kills won the domestic weekend box office with its $50.4 million debut in theaters and also secured the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend for a streaming day-and-date premiere.

As reported by Variety, Halloween Kills bested Godzilla vs. Kong's $31.6 million opening weekend - which also premiered on HBO Max on the same day as it did in theaters - and shows a possible hopeful sign for certain types of films thriving once again at the cinema.

“This genre and this particular franchise lends itself to the in-theater experience,” said Jim Orr, Universal’s president of domestic distribution. “People want to be scared together. Our core audience was eager and enthusiastic.”

Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jodie Comer, and Adam Driver's The Last Duel, on the other hand, did not fare as well and only grossed $4.8 million at the domestic box office despite having an exclusive theatrical release. The film is said have cost around $100 million to produce and now has a lot of ground to gain.

It also may show the hesitancy of those 35 and older wanting to head back to theaters, as over 50% of ticket buyers fell into that demographic as opposed to 27% of them who saw Halloween Kills. All that being said, The Last Duel took fifth place and beat out Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' $3.54 million.

No Time to Die earned another $24.3 million in its second weekend to secure the second-place spot and saw a decline of about 56% week-over-week. This is said to be in line with the decline seen by Spectre and Skyfall in their second weeks. No Time to Die's domestic total has now reached $99.5 million. Internationally, No Time to Die brought in $54 million, bringing its global total to $447.5 million. It is on pace to pass Godzilla vs. Kong as the second highest-grossing Hollywood release of 2021 but still has a way to go to surpass F9's $716.6 million.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage secured third place with $16.5 million, bringing its domestic total to $169.1 million, and The Addams Family 2 took fourth place with $7.2 million.

In our Halloween Kills review, we said that it "delivers deliciously gory kills and nods to John Carpenter's original classic, but still feels like half a movie."

The Batman: Robert Pattinson Wore Val Kilmer’s Batsuit for Screen Test – DC FanDome 2021

The Batman director Matt Reeves revealed that leading man Robert Pattinson wore Val Kilmer's Batsuit from Batman Forever during an early screen test.

"Rob was litterally wearing Val Kilmer's Batsuit," Reeves explained. "Which, by the way, was a crazy moment." Pattison went on to describe the experience of wearing the iconic suit, which got a bit sweaty.

"It was crazy," Pattinson said. "I remember putting it on and saying, 'this is going to be absolutely impossible.' Wearing a two-inch-thick rubber suit and being incredibly nervous and full of adrenaline the whole time. I remember we did like two takes and we were saying, 'What can we do about this sweat?' And I was like, 'nothing, there's nothing that can be done.' I had to be drained of liquid."

In The Batman, Pattinson will play a younger version of the Caped Crusader who is in Year 2 of his superhero career. "[Batman] doesn't have as much control over his personality. The delineation between when he's Batman and when he's Bruce is not so clear. In other iterations of [Batman's story], he really knows what he's doing when he's putting on the cowl. And I really like the idea of him being a little out of control. He hasn't defined what Batman is. He gets lost in it... He's not sleeping, and he's becoming this odd creature."

Another Batman alum, Christian Bale, also wore Kilmer's Batsuit during his early Dark Knight Trilogy screening tests. The Batman is set to open in theaters on March 4, 2022.

Thirty Seconds Of Elden Ring Gameplay Appears To Have Leaked Online

What appears to be new Elden Ring gameplay footage is currently making the rounds on social media, seemingly offering a glimpse of how the game will run outside of official trailers.

The thirty-second clip is set on a rocky hilltop near a broken castle, with a spectral tree rising in the distance. After rotating the camera to offer a clearer look at the environment, we're treated to the character jumping up to the hill crest, causing a pair of eagles to light into the air in a flurry of feathers.

The footage was allegedly captured on an Xbox One, though its origin remains unconfirmed. Assuming it's legitimate, the new footage gives us a better feel for Elden Ring's movement, particularly in terms of how the main character handles jumping.

Otherwise we still know comparatively little about Elden Ring, though we're just a few months from its release date. In an interview with IGN, director Hidetaka Miyazaki described the open world and the gameplay, but little else has been shown in terms of official footage.

Regardless, Elden Ring remains highly anticipated, not the least because Dark Souls and Bloodborne are some of the finest action games ever made. With Elden Ring Ring due early next year, hopefully we'll get to see more of this open world Soulsborne game very soon.

Elden Ring is currently set to release January 21, 2022 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. You can find our impressions of Elden Ring's first 15 minutes of gameplay right here.

DMZ: New Images and Details Revealed for HBO Max’s DC Comics Adaptation – DC FanDome 2021

The HBO Max adaptation of the DC Comics series DMZ received a ton of new details and images at DC FanDome 2021.

DMZ is a four-part limited series that is being led by Selma and When They See Us' Ava DuVernay and Westworld writer Roberto Patino. The Mandalorian's Rosario Dawson is set to star as Alma and DMZ will tell the story of a USA that is in the middle of its second civil war. This war is between the Free States of America and the United States of America and the rule of law is "dictated by the most powerful person at any point at time."

"It's a story about a fractured people that are coming together," Patino said. "We have a civil war between the Free States of America and the United States of America, and our story takes place eight years into that DMZ where the rule of law is basically dictated by the most powerful person at any point in time, and that can change from block to block."

Dawson's Alma, who is an outsider that will turn "everything upside down," is inspired by Z from the graphic novel.

"Alma was inspired by one of the most fascinating characters in the comic book and also one of the most underserved in the comic book named Z, who is this fearless medic," Patino explained. "I really took the creative guard rails off and dove into the spirit of Z and reinvented her. This show is a bit of an origin story for one of the best characters in the graphic novel."

Alma will be joined by Benjamin Bratt's Parco Delgado and Hoon Lee's Wilson, both of whom have different styles of leadership. Delgado is a character who takes power who believes that no one can challenge him on that if he says it "with enough resolve."

Wilson, on the other hand, wants everyone to make "truly free choices in the DMZ," and loves the "patchwork of gangs and tribes and outfits" that come of that.

DMZ is set in Manhattan and is meant to be a piece of media we can see our potential future in if we "let the worst of our divisions get to us."

"That's what DMZ is," DuVernay said. "It is set in a world that's just a few moments into the future, and it speculates what would we be if we let the worst of our divisions get to us. I just think it's super cool. It's also important in ways that allow us to consider ourselves now and what we want to be going forward."
