renowned author Stephen King commends filmmaker Mike Flanagan's interpretation of his Dark Tower series.
Last week saw a flurry of exciting updates in the film and TV world. Here's a breakdown of the latest news:
Die By Night
Starring Isabelle Fuhrman, Ben Hardy, and Scoot McNairy, "Die By Night" is a new supernatural "survival thriller" directed by Rod Blackhurt. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where stretched periods of 'Night' plunge the world into chaos, the film follows Lucia (Fuhrman) as she navigates to The Wall for safety. Accompanied by the injured but determined Barry (Hardy), they must overcome not just the threats of 'The Horde,' but also the Clans – human tribes surviving by selling and trading others for strength. With a single night to survive, their only chance lies in trusting each other and staying in the light.
