Sophie Thatcher Leads the Witch Hunting Film ‘Cavendish’
Forget everything you know about the somber, gray world of 17th-century Puritanism. The film Cavendish is set to prove that the witch hunts of 1645 weren’t just about paranoia. They were also the perfect backdrop for an “irreverent and original” action-thriller. Billed as a visceral blend of high-stakes violence and sharp, biting humor, the film aims to subvert the “powerless victim” trope by giving its leading ladies a lot more than just a broomstick to fight back with. The Hunt is On The story kicks off on what should have been a lovely wedding day for a privileged young bride, played by “Yellowjackets” star Sophie Thatcher. Instead of a “happily ever after,” she finds herself slapped with a witchcraft accusation. She is pursued by a relentless witch hunter, portrayed by Joe Alwyn. To survive the ordeal, she’s forced into a begrudging alliance with a sharp-witted poacher, played by Erin Kellyman. Together, this unlikely duo decides that instead of running, they’ll

Nicolas Cage Swings into Action in Two New “Spider-Noir” Trailers
We are officially thirty days out from the moment the multiverse gets a lot more cynical. To celebrate the one-month countdown, Prime Video has unleashed not one, but two official trailers for the highly anticipated “Spider-Noir”. In a move that honors the 1930s aesthetic, fans can choose to watch the new footage in vibrant, modern color or the “authentic” black-and-white version. This isn’t just a marketing gimmick for the trailer, either. When the show drops, you’ll have the option to stream the entire series in either format to suit your mood for monochromatic misery. The Case of the Web-Slinging P.I. Set against the backdrop of a gritty, Depression-era New York, the series stars Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider) in his first leading television role. He plays Ben Reilly, a weathered and down-on-his-luck private investigator who is struggling to keep his head above water. Haunted by a deeply personal tragedy and forced to grapple with a past he’d rather forget, Reilly finds
