Did the Terminator franchise really need to live on past James Cameron's excellent T2: Judgment Day? Probably not! But Hollywood can't let a good (or moneymaking) franchise die. And so after the strong performance of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, not even franchise star Arnold Schwarzenegger leaving movies for the world of politics could kill the series. But what is a franchise to do when it's under new ownership and it's lost it's usual leading man? The makers of the fourth entry decided to use the opportunity to finally deliver a movie the franchise's fans had been clamoring for since the beginning - a film set entirely during the post Judgment Day future war. And they recruited two new powerhouse leading men to front it - Christian Bale, a newly minted Hollywood blockbuster star after the mega-success of The Dark Knight, and Sam Worthington, a name on the rise about to also star in the same year's most anticipated blockbuster, Avatar (from, yep...James Cameron). So what could possibly go wrong? Well, the pre-release leak of audio of Bale freaking out and yelling at a crewmember, which overshadowed much else of the film's release, might be the start of the answer...but what about the movie itself?

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. With the release of “Michael” last week, this week we're focusing on other Bio Pics . On today's episode, Steve Riddle is reviewing “Hacksaw Ridge” from 2016 starring Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Hugo Weaving & Rachel Griffiths.

As promised, this week on BEHIND THE LENS is all about director DAVID MACKENZIE and his new explosive film, FUZE. Directed by David Mackenzie and written by Ben Hopkins, FUZE boasts an amazing cast – Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, Saffron Hocking, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Elham Ehsas, and Sam Worthington. Executed with razor-sharp precision, FUZE is a tightly coiled, high-wire heist thriller that unfolds like a cinematic shell game—constantly shifting perspective, redirecting attention, and daring audiences to keep up. Built around the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb in London, the film uses its premise not just as a ticking clock, but as the perfect cover for a meticulously orchestrated crime. As authorities race against time to contain the crisis, alliances blur and moral boundaries are crossed, the film deftly propels audiences through a series of calculated twists, delivering a wildly entertaining ride. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

"Fuze" is a 2025 British crime thriller heist film directed by David Mackenzie and written by Ben Hopkins, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Sam Worthington. Set in London, there is a citywide evacuation when an unexploded World War II bomb is unearthed at a busy construction site. Amid the escalating tension and chaos, a daring criminal operation is set in motion -- one that uses the evacuation as a cover for a meticulously planned bank heist. As authorities race against time to contain the crisis, alliances blur, and moral boundaries are crossed. The film premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its action, tension, twists, and muscular direction. Taylor-Johnson, Worthington, and Mackenzie were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below.

If you're looking for an in-depth, warts-and-all biopic about the King of Pop, keep looking. If you want a slick, entertaining reenactment of some great music, then "Michael" is the movie for you. Jaafar Jackson is fine portraying his famous uncle Michael Jackson in this family-sanctioned overview of the first 20 years of Jackson's career. The movie seesaws between Jackson's relationship with his abusive dad, played by Coleman Domingo, and his electric stage performances. Keep your expectations low and the volume on high. From "The Most Dangerous Game" to "The Hunt,” there have been a lot of movies about humans hunting humans. The newest entry in this subgenre is the Netflix thriller, "Apex." Oscar-winner Charlize Theron plays an adventurer on a solo outing in the remote Australian wilderness who becomes the target of a deranged hunter, played by Taron Egerton. Director Baltasar Kormakur puts his stars through the ringer as he stages some impressive action sequences in this cat-and-mouse action flick. While more than competent, "Apex" has a grisly ugliness that can be a bit hard to stomach. “Desert Warrior” is a historical action flick that desperately wants to be “Lawrence of Arabia,” but falls somewhat short. Anthony Mackie plays a bandit who aids a princess caught between warring tribes in 7th century Arabia. It's well made but uninspired. “Fuze” is a taut, twisty British caper movie. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James and Sam Worthington star in a thriller about thieves who use the discovery of an unexploded WWII-era bomb in London's Paddington district as a distraction for an elaborate bank heist. “Fuze” won't light any fires but is a zippy bit of escapism.

It's a welcome return to Soundtracking for David MacKenzie, who joins us to discuss his heist Thriller, Fuze. Starring Theo James, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Worthington, Fuze sees an unexploded bomb discovered on a busy London construction site and follows the unfolding chaos that ensues.

So, come along with us as we stare into the sun, gamble our lives and our brain cells in a desolate dry, slow and over bloated mess that is Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1, where scenes happen, people act on screen, vague motivations steer some characters in a direction, simple and basic ideals sleep walk their way from scene to scene to character to character, there's a musical score, a beginning, a middle and no end. The film is Written by Jon Baird & Kevin Costner and it's directed by Kevin Costner and the film stars Kevin Coster, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Owen Crow Shoe, Tatanka Means, Ella Hunt, Tim Guinee, Danny Huston, Colin Cunningham, Scott Haze, Tom Payne, Abbey Lee, Michael Rooker, Will Patton, Jim Lau, Georgia MacPhail, Douglas Smith, Roger Ivens, Larry Bagby, James Russo, Jeff Fahey and so many more...literally!!!   Thanks for checkin us out!

Pandora beckons once more, guys. Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa are back on the show today, spilling secrets from their screenplay for the recent third film in the Avatar franchise, Fire & Ash. The husband-wife duo came on the show around the release of Avatar: The Way of Water a couple of years back, and it's always a good time chatting with them – I love the unapologetic earnestness of their storytelling and the habit they have of taking huge, billion dollar IP and using them as vehicles for stories about the wonder of nature and what we risk by not showing our environment the appropriate care.Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. Jurassic World. These are huge-scale blockbuster spectacles that, in an era of franchise films drenched in irony and a certain cynicism, make these very sincere pleas to appreciate animals. To revere and protect nature. Because to lose it or underestimate it leads to chaos and collapse. Fire & Ash is another film to bear that signature of theirs – and it's an epic of mythic proportions. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, we break down the intricacies of this latest collaboration with director James Cameron. They tell me about the moment in which a character very viscerally contemplates suicide, in a scene I was really surprised to see in a Disney tentpole movie. They tell me about the conversations that led to the heartbreaking moment in which Sam Worthington's Jake Sully agonises over whether to do the unthinkable to save his Na'vi tribe. And we also get into the ending of the movie and what exactly is happening as series antagonist Colonel Quaritch, played by Stephen Lang, throws himself to his apparent demise.

On this episode of She's All Over the Place, host Katie Chonacas sits down with acclaimed filmmaker Cate Shortland, director and pioneering voice for women behind the camera, to discuss her landmark debut feature Somersault. Originally nominated for Un Certain Regard and the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Somersault follows teenage Heidi, who escapes home after a traumatic encounter and attempts to rebuild her identity in a frozen ski town. Through isolation, longing, and fragile connection, the film explores adolescence, intimacy, and the human need for belonging. We go far beyond filmmaking technique. This conversation becomes an honest exploration of creative courage, emotional exposure, and artistic voice, especially for female storytellers navigating an industry that often discourages vulnerability. Cate shares: • How Somersault was conceived and made • Working with early-career actors Abbie Cornish and Sam Worthington • Why vulnerability is a strength in storytelling • Emotional truth vs. performance in film • The responsibility of female filmmakers to tell authentic stories • Finding confidence as a woman director • Creative intuition, sensitivity, and psychological depth in cinema We also discuss the film's new 4K restoration and its continued cultural relevance, over 20 years after its Cannes premiere. More than a film discussion, this episode is a masterclass on owning your voice, telling your story, and making art that feels emotionally truthful. About the Film – Somersault Following a reckless encounter with her mother's boyfriend, teenage Heidi flees home and takes refuge in a motel in the winter town of Jindabyne. She finds work at a petrol station, befriends a coworker, and begins a complicated relationship with Joe, a young man dealing with his own emotional wounds. Together they confront isolation, desire, addiction, and the search for connection. Written & Directed by: Cate Shortland Cast: Abbie Cornish, Sam Worthington, Lynette Curran Genre: Drama Runtime: 106 minutes Restored in 4K from the original 35mm negative by Piccolo Films

It's 2026. Is it a happy New Year? Maya reviews Avatar 3. Does anyone even remember what Sam Worthington actually looks like? Are Sam Worthington and Joel Edgerton the same person? And what's with Train Dreams? Amy had to shut it off. Amy finally watched Magnolia per Maya's suggestion. She loved it!!! Off topic…is Paul Walker the most mourned man in history? The ladies decide that Jeff Bridges and Kurt Russell are the same guy now, and that they definitely don't wear seatbelts. Putting Christmas away is depressing. The year of the Horse is here! Apparently, we've been in a bad pattern, but it's really looking up for Taurus this year!

There are some that laugh at James Cameron's Avatar movies but Cameron, so far, has always got the last laugh on them all the way to the bank. The first two Avatar movies are the first and third highest grossing movies of all times, not accounting for inflation. Take that internet trolls! Now Cameron is looking to laugh again with his third Avatar movie, “Avatar: Fire And Ash.” Our main characters, Jake Sully, and his Na'vi wife, Neytiri return to pick up the pieces on Pandora after the chaos from the last movie. They have to deal with an unspeakable tragedy in their family, all the while, trying to evade capture, or worse, by the evil Colonel Quaritch and the “sky people.” They desperately want Jake for what they see as treason, and also to be able to exploit the planet Pandora for all its resources. Now a potentially game-changing development, involving human breathing on Pandora, creates an even bigger potential threat to the Na'vi. Commonly referred to Dances With Smurfs or Ferngully In Space, the Avatar movies are Cameron's environmentalist afterschool specials wrapped up in a CGI extravaganza. Is it worth seeing at the theater? Check out this episode to find out! “Avatar: Fire And Ash” stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Jemaine Clement, Giovanni Ribisi, David Thewlis and Jack Champion. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

The episode examines why some critics describe the film as repetitive, focusing on familiar narrative patterns, repeated emotional beats, and ongoing debates about sequel fatigue versus cinematic spectacle in modern franchise filmmaking.Reminder to grab your 30 day free Audible trial, link in the show!Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

With a 197-minute runtime, this is the longest Avatar yet, and we were all in! Take a trip with us to Pandora on this special Lodgecast episode!

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “Avatar: Fire & Ash” from 2025 starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin & Edie Falco.

As our season 3 premiere, we start out the new year with one of the highest grossing franchises, Avatar. We talk about James Cameron, the age of CGI, the cast from Sam Worthington to Sigourney Weaver, and the great visual spectacle you witness.

The saga of The Sully Clan and their adventures on the far off planet of Pandora continues with this third entry in Oscar-winning director James Cameron's ongoing franchise which started in 2009 with Avatar....but do we still care? :p Well according to recent box office returns, we certainly do and much of that might due to the continued spectacle of seeing these characters fly and swim and now fight fire on-screen.  The fire apparently comes from a new threat who's the leader of an ash tribe named Varang (Oona Chaplin) and as she starts to align with Colonel Quarytch (Stephen Lang, returning from the previous two films), that threat only seems to escalate.  And stuck in the middle of this conflict is young human Spider (Jack Champion) who is still loyal to his adopted family of the Sully's but might now also present a new threat to them and the future existence of the Navi on this planet.  Once again leading this sci-fi epic are Sam Worthington as Jake and now Oscar-winner Zoe Saldana as Netyri, along with several other returning cast members including Sigourney Weaver, Britain Dalton, Kate Winslet, and Cliff Curtis.  Let's find out if Big Jim can pull it off again and if the quality of the story matches the spectacle.....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon  Send us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Two years after the success of the Warner Brothers Clash of the Titans reboot Sam Worthington returned to the role of Perseus for WRATH of the Titans. This time around Zeus and Hades have to content with the fact they no longer posess the power they once had in addition to Ares the God of War releasing Kronos from the underworld. And that's pretty bad because he's a big walking volcano.

Feliz Na'vi Dads  Pandora will be turned into Fire and Ash if Giovanni Ribisi and Edie Falco learn the secret to breathing the planet's toxic air from feral human Spider (Jack Champion). Can adoptive father Sam Worthington protect “monkey boy” from being reclaimed by bio-parent Stephen Lang, or getting whacked by his grieving wife Zoe Saldana?  And who exactly gave birth to 76-year-old “teenager” Sigourney Weaver? Sullys never quit, but James Cameron might if audiences don't join Arnie, Marjorie, and Stuart in theaters for the conclusion of the Avatar trilogy. Listen Now!

It's not every day that James Cameron has a new flick out in theaters, so the boys are seizing the opportunity to talk about Jim's first journey to Pandora. It might be the most successful film of all time, but TGMEM really thought they needed to add their opinions on the kinky hair tentacle sex, unobtanium, and white savior narratives (and by white, we mean blue). James Cameron has done it before, but can he deliver the Greatest Movie Ever Made once again?Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat AudioAvatar (2009) is directed by James Cameron and stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Michelle Rodriguez 

In Avatar: Fire and Ash, James Cameron's saga continues in a visually stunning movie full of epic battles, uneasy alliances, human assimilation, and debates with whales. The film follows the Na'vi (aka blue guys) as they're chased by a human military that seeks both resources and revenge. The cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldaña, and Sam Worthington.

In 2010 two things were big. 3D films and Sam Worthington, both a result of Avatar from 2009. And whilst that franchise continues on Clash of the Titans (which incorporates both) acts as a time capsule of that era of film making. Also acting as a reboot of the 1981 Ray Harryhausen original movie it pits Perseus, the son of Liam Neeson's Zeus, against the Gods of Olympus including Ralph Finnes Hades who is threatening to release the Kraken on the ever increasingly disgruntled mortals of Greece.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠Analytic Dreamz breaks down the massive announcement: Miley Cyrus delivers “Dream as One,” the original end-credits ballad for James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash, dropping December 19, 2025. Co-written and produced with Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, and Grammy-winning composer Simon Franglen (the man behind Céline Dion's “My Heart Will Go On”), the track releases as a single November 14, 2025, ahead of the full soundtrack on December 12.Miley calls the collaboration “musical medicine,” saying the song's themes of unity, healing, and rising from ashes mirror her own life after fire destroyed her home. The official Avatar teaser already teases the lyric “Even through the ashes in the sky / Baby, when we dream we dream as one.”Analytic Dreamz dives into the full context: returning cast (Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet), new addition Oona Chaplin, the Sully family's next chapter, and why this Mark Ronson-powered anthem is being positioned as the next generational cinematic moment. From Miley's 2025 album Something Beautiful to her growing soundtrack legacy, this segment covers every angle of the biggest music-meets-film drop of the year.
