Henry Cavil is Gearing Up for Two ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Projects!

If you thought Henry Cavill (The Witcher, Superman, Highlander) was going to settle for just one trip to the grim darkness of the far future, think again. On top of the flagship live-action series, Hollywood’s favorite mega-nerd is behind a new animated series. Variety reports that Prime Video is also officially developing a standalone animated “Warhammer 40,000″ series. And naturally, Cavill is executive producing this one too. From Anthology to Full-Blown Series The animated project is spinning directly out of Amazon’s late-2024 video game anthology Secret Level. The Warhammer 40,000 episode sent the fanbase into absolute hero-worship overdrive. Dave Wilson is co-creating and directing the new project alongside co-creator John Orloff, with heavy-hitting backing from Amazon MGM Studios, Blur Studio, and Games Workshop. “Secret Level wasn’t conceived simply as an anthology. It was designed as a launchpad for larger stories,” said co-creator and director Dave Wilson. “The response to the Warhammer episode was extraordinary… This series gives us the opportunity

Ryan Murphy’s Series Adaptation “The Shards” Snags New Trailer Ahead of Premiere

1981 was brutal. Just ask Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis. The third trailer for Ryan Murphy’s 10-episode series adaptation of The Shards, based on Bret Easton Ellis’ 2023 novel, really wants you to know how tough teenagers had it back in 1981. And, to be fair, between the cutthroat social hierarchy and an actual serial killer on the loose, they might actually have a point. Set in sunny, sinister 1981 Los Angeles, this semi-autobiographical, dark coming-of-age story follows 17-year-old Bret during his senior year at the uber-elite Buckley School. His privileged, paranoia-fueled world starts unraveling with the arrival of a mysterious new transfer student, Robert Mallory. However, Robert’s unsettling charm conveniently coincides with a brutal spree by a killer known as “The Trawler.” An All-Star Cast Igby Rigney (The Fall of the House of Usher) takes center stage as young Bret Easton Ellis. He’s joined by Homer Gere (The Agency, and yes, Richard Gere’s son), who steps into the

The Story At the center of the narrative is Hig (played by Jacob Elordi). He’s a civilian pilot who survived the deadly flu that claimed his wife and destroyed the world as he knew it.
