Video games have come a long way since their inception in the 1970s. The first video games were very simplistic in concept, owing to the limited technology at the time. Now, though, video game developers are able to craft actual narratives in their projects, coming up with a storyline and a script as if it were a movie or a play. Like any other storytelling medium, the writing can really make or break something and is a crucial part of things.
Over the years, many video games from all genres have gained critical acclaim for how well-written they are. Whether it’s because of the layered narrative, the unexpected comedy, or the story itself, there are numerous ways in which a game might exceed expectations in the writing department. These are the most perfectly written video game masterpieces of all time, in no particular order.

Dragon Age: Origins is a BioWare role-playing game set in the land of Ferelden. Ferelden is faced with peril as a cataclysmic event known as the Blight begins, meaning the Darkspawn that prowl the underground network of tunnels called the Deep Roads have started reaching the surface. Their intent is to destroy the kingdoms of humans, elves, and dwarves, prompting the revival of an ancient order known as the Grey Wardens.
In this game, players can choose their origin story, with six different opening quests to choose from. Players can also choose their party members, and must strategize to create the most efficient group of fighters possible. The story feels simple, but the dialogue is fantastic. There are so many sarcastic remarks and quips you can make, and which other characters might deliver right back. All the party members have such unique personalities and are so much fun to interact with. The depth and design of the characters in this game are absolutely unparalleled, making it one of the finest RPGs ever made.

‘The Stanley Parable’ (2013)

The Stanley Parable is a walking simulator game that can be completed in just a couple of hours, all told. Or at least, the original version can. The 2022 remake added a substantial amount of content to the game. Anyway, the game is about Stanley, an office worker who gets up from his computer one day to find that the entire building is empty. He is also accompanied by an unseen narrator, who will give instructions as if he were telling someone else a story.
You don’t have to follow the narrator’s every word, though. If you decide to defy his orders, he will adjust his dialogue accordingly. The narrator’s dialogue is excellent: snarky, clever, and often hilarious, and it’s easily the best part of the game. The narrator became the driving force for why many consider this game to be a perfect example of good writing, especially in the world of video games. The story itself is one thing, but making dialogue this consistently funny is really tough to do.

‘SOMA’ (2015)

SOMA is a horror video game created by the same developers as the Outlast series. In this game, you play as Simon, a Canadian man living in Toronto who signs up for a brain experiment. He falls asleep during the procedure and wakes up centuries in the future, in a hidden laboratory miles beneath the surface of the Atlantic. Stranger still, he has a shiny new robot body that he didn’t have previously. Not knowing where he is or why, Simon must escape the facility while avoiding the corrupted robots prowling the corridors.
The game seems simple, but it has a lot to say. It dives heavily into concepts of consciousness and existentialism, leaving us with one of the most profound and jaw-dropping endings in any video game ever made. The setting is unique enough, and the horror does a good job, but the dialogue and complex story are where the game is at its best.Very few other games can inspire such a sense of existential dread as this game can. The ending will leave you sitting in silence for a while, that’s for sure.

‘Spec Ops: The Line’ (2012)

Spec Ops: The Line is actually an adaptation of Heart of Darkness, the 1899 novella by Joseph Conrad that also inspired Apocalypse Now. The original book is about Belgian colonialism in the Congo region, but Spec Ops is about American military intervention in the Middle East. Following a natural disaster, an American officer is sent into Dubai to organize the city. Instead, he implements martial law and turns the city into a war zone. Sent in to stop him is Delta Force operator Martin Walker.
The game begins like an ordinary third-person shooter, but quickly evolves into a deeply profound experience. Everything about the story is meant to horrify the player and shock them into the realities of war, unlike many video games which glorify violence. Even the loading screen tips are meticulously reasoned, posing existential questions and criticizing the player towards the end. The story emphasizes the effects of war and the trauma it breeds in individuals, critiquing imperialism. The script and story are highly detailed, all in an effort to make the game as uncomfortable as possible.

‘Batman: Arkham City’ (2011)

Batman: Arkham Citypicks up where Arkham Asylum left off. The asylum has shut down due to the incident, forcing the newly appointed Mayor, Quincy Sharp, to authorize the construction of Arkham City. Run by Professor Hugo Strange, a small section of Gotham City is cordoned off behind walls and barbed wire, serving as a mega prison for all of Gotham’s inmates. However, trouble is brewing, as is expected when all the city’s supervillains are confined together, and Batman is intent on stopping it.
The dialogue is pretty good, made better with the return of veteran voice actors Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. The side quests are interesting, and there are plenty of familiar faces, as well as some new ones. Where the game really shines is in its overall story. Batman is pushed to his absolute limits here, and the game ends with a really gutsy death scene that nobody could have anticipated. The game also bears a plot twist that makes perfect sense and doesn’t come completely out of nowhere. In fact, keen-eyed players can even figure it out in advance if they pay attention.The game’s story is masterfully crafted, dark, gritty, and everything that fans love about the Caped Crusader.

‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (2013)

Grand Theft Auto Vis an enormously popular game due to its fun gameplay, but it also excels in the writing department, especially when it comes to its single-player story mode. The plot follows former bank robbers Michael de Santa and Trevor Phillips, who reunite to continue their crime spree in an effort to save Michael from death at the hands of a cartel leader. They are aided by a young upstart named Franklin Clinton, a former gang member and talented pupil.
Grand Theft Auto V is known for its comedy, especially when it comes to Trevor Phillips, described by netizens as a sociopath who commits a lot of heinous crimes just for the heck of it. He’s a fantastic character that’s never boring to watch. The other characters are pretty good too, though, especially when it comes to Michael’s dysfunctional family and Franklin’s interactions with his friend Lamar. The writing couldn’t have been more brilliant if they tried.

Oxenfree is a side-scrolling psychological thriller adventure about five teenagers living in Washington State. During the summer, they take a trip to a remote island off the coast of their hometown to spend a night or two on the beach. While there, they hear a rumor stating that portable radios tuned to specific frequencies cause strange events in certain places. They decide to test this rumor for themselves, only to unleash temporal beings beyond their understanding.
The cast of teens is very memorable, each with a distinct personality, which is made even better by their dialogue. The dialogue in this game fully fleshes out each character, reflecting a lot about their deep-seated insecurities and their hopes and dreams for after graduation. The story is complex and intricate, as well as a little bit tragic. It’s a phenomenal game with some of the most impeccable writing in the medium.

The Metal Gearseries is known for having one of the most complicated narratives in all of gaming, but it’s arguably at its best with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. This game is chronologically the first in the saga, taking place in the 1960s. At the height of the Cold War, an agent of FOX codenamed Naked Snake is sent in to prevent the Soviets from constructing a nuclear-equipped superweapon known as the Shagohod.
Like the other games in the series, the game explores the individuality of soldiers and how world governments use living, breathing humans as pawns in their war machine. Though the story is more in line with science fiction rather than reality, the message remains the same. This game is by far the most emotional in the series, with a heartbreaking ending and one of the most devastating plot twists ever conceived. Snake Eater is the best that the Metal Gear series has to offer, especially in the writing department.

‘Until Dawn’ (2015)

Until Dawn is a visual novel game, so the writing has to be excellent, or else it’ll ruin the whole experience. Fortunately, the writers absolutely nailed it. The story follows eight young adults who travel to a ski lodge in Alberta, Canada, for their annual getaway. Things start normally until a masked killer begins stalking them, luring them into deathtraps and striking from the shadows. Each and every choice in this game matters and can drastically affect the fate of each character.
The writing is absolutely on point. The dialogue actually sounds realistic, which is made better by the performances of the actors, including Rami Malek. The story itself is brilliant, with a massive bombshell of a plot twist about midway through the game that floors the audience easily and is a testament to how good everything else about the game is. Considering it’s a visual novel, there isn’t a whole lot of input from the player, yet Until Dawn is stilla masterpiece for the fact that the writing keeps things consistently exciting.

‘BioShock Infinite’ (2013)
Elizabeth in Bioshock InfiniteImage via Irrational Games
BioShock Infiniteis the third and final installment in the BioShock series, though it is chronologically the first. Instead of taking players to the underwater city of Rapture, it takes players above the clouds to the flying city of Columbia. Unlike Rapture, Columbia is still thriving and populated, though many dark secrets lurk beneath the surface. The protagonist is Booker DeWitt, a detective sent to investigate the disappearance of a woman named Elizabeth Comstock.
Like the others in the franchise, Infinite is an FPS with a magical twist. Not only can players use firearms, but they can also use Vigors, which function like spells. The plot is similarly psychological to the rest of the franchise, but the game does a bit of a better job with its dialogue since you are always accompanied by Elizabeth and are rarely alone. Booker is also capable of talking, unlike the previous two silent protagonists. The story bears many twists and turns, most of them jaw-dropping, and the game goes above and beyond with its worldbuilding, both literally and figuratively. It’s one of the most well-written games of all time, period.
Fans have one major takeaway from Rihanna‘s viral twerk with A$AP Rocky: these two genuinely seem to enjoy each other.
Footage of the pair during a getaway in her native Barbados has viewers celebrating the couple’s playful dynamic and joking that A$AP clearly understood the assignment.
Fans are loving the chemistry between Rihanna and A$AP Rocky after a playful video of the couple dancing together in Barbados spread online.
The “Umbrella” singer is seen in the footage twerking in front of A$AP while the couple partied at what appeared to be a carnival. Rihanna gets low as she dances, then looks back at her longtime partner, who immediately matches her energy and engages in the dance.

Rocky even lifts one leg during the playful exchange before Rihanna turns around, smiling.
On Reddit, many commenters saw something a lot simpler than a viral celebrity spectacle. “That’s a happy couple,” one user wrote, while another said A$AP “matches the energy” his partner was giving.
Others pointed to the Caribbean setting, arguing that the dancing was hardly unusual for the festival. “She is Bajan. He has Bajan roots,” one commenter explained, describing the pair as simply “a couple dancing together.”
The clip also revived a familiar joke among Rihanna’s fans. While some celebrated how happy the singer appeared, others couldn’t resist bringing up the album they have been waiting years to hear. “Rihanna doing everything but making an album,” one user joked.
For plenty of fans, though, the takeaway was the couple’s chemistry. As another commenter put it: “I love them together.”

Rihanna Also Celebrated In Style At Grand Kadooment
Before turning heads with her nightclub moves on A$AP, Rihanna had also joined her brother’s band, Aura, for this year’s Grand Kadooment festivities on August 3. Her ensemble this year featured a jewel-covered body harness with tassels, while gemstones beneath her eyes complemented the colorful look.
The custom fit was created by local designer Lauren Austin, who has reportedly been making Carnival costumes for Rihanna since 2013. Austin previously told Vogue that Rihanna’s willingness to take fashion risks makes designing for her particularly fitting, describing the superstar’s style as “edgy.”
A$AP Rocky Says His Partner Is ‘Cooking’ In The Studio
For years, fans have been eagerly awaiting Rihanna’s follow-up to her acclaimed album “ANTI,” with the wait now stretching to a full decade. The anticipation has only intensified as the singer has repeatedly teased the project over the years while also growing her family.
However, A$AP has recently reassured fans that the album is still moving forward, as The Blast reported. The rapper also dismissed the idea that their growing family is responsible for the delay.

“Nah,” he revealed on the August 5 episode of “The Jason Lee Show.” “Yo, she in the studio right now. Yeah, I said it. Sorry, babe. Like, bro, she working. She cooking, no funny s–t. Damn, I’mma get in trouble for this.”
Rihanna Went Back To The Drawing Board For Her New Music
Initially, Rihanna’s next album was meant to be a reggae-inspired or reggae-infused project as she looked to fully tap into the sounds of her home country, Barbados.
However, in a 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, she revealed that she had scrapped those plans and gone back to the drawing board to decide which creative direction to pursue.
“I have been working on the [new] album for so long that I kinda put all that stuff aside, and now I’m prepared to go back in the studio,” she told the outlet at the time. “I actually want to go back and listen to stuff with new ears—with my new perspective and then see what applies and what I’m still in love with.”
The Barbadian-born star further emphasized that the delay was partly because she wanted to ensure her next project was truly worth the wait. “It has to count. It has to matter. I have to show them the worth in the wait. I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more,” she noted.
At just 13, North West is taking a dramatically darker creative turn. The daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has unveiled a horror-inspired visual for her latest single, “Aishite,” blending eerie imagery with lyrics centered on betrayal, isolation, and emotional pain.
Rather than relying on celebrity headlines, North leans into unsettling storytelling, delivering a music video that leaves viewers talking as much about its haunting message as its chilling visuals.
North West’s newest release on Instagram is far from a typical teenage pop song. Throughout “Aishite” which means “love me” in Japanese, the young artist repeatedly returned to themes of loneliness and emotional hurt while asking for acceptance.
The opening verse immediately set the tone as she rapped, “Ayy, ain’t nobody finna save me / Ayy, and it’s drivin’ me crazy (Crazy) / Why can’t I escape? ’Cause they chase me (They chase me) / Just love me, everyone betrays me.”
The emotional intensity continued as she added, “I’m seein’ blood daily (Daily)/ What? And it’s drivin’ me crazy (Crazy)/ Yeah, can’t escape ’cause they chase me.”

Rather than presenting a carefree anthem, North used the track to explore feelings of being pursued, misunderstood, and unable to trust those around her.
North’s Horror-Inspired Visual Brings The Song To Life
Directed by Ty Akimoto, the music video matched the song’s unsettling mood with striking horror-inspired imagery.
Set largely inside an abandoned-looking school and an arcade, the visual followed North West as she wandered dimly lit hallways sporting neon blue pigtails.
One of the video’s biggest moments came when the camera slowly approached her before revealing a shocking transformation: her face appeared without eyes, a nose, or a mouth, creating an eerie jump scare.
She also sported a black grill, adding another distinctive visual element to the production. The rapid editing between the school and arcade sequences kept the unsettling atmosphere intact until the video ended with a flashing white title screen.

North West’s First Headlining Tour Ends Before It Begins
The recent music video release comes a few days after North’s highly anticipated first headlining tour came to an abrupt halt, with the young star canceling her 14-date Kimokawaii Tour alongside rapper Molly Santana just days before the opening show in Dallas.
The tour, announced in June following the pair’s performances at Rolling Loud Miami and Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash, was scheduled to kick off in Dallas on August 5 before making stops in Houston, Chicago, Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles through August 27.
However, fans soon noticed the official tour website had been taken offline, while Ticketmaster marked multiple dates as canceled and venues began confirming the shows would no longer take place.
One San Francisco venue briefly continued listing its August 25 stop before uncertainty spread there as well.
Kim Kardashian Showed Her Support For North West’s Tour Before It Was Canceled
A few weeks before the plug was pulled on the 14-date run, Kardashian made sure North West’s tour received plenty of attention on social media.
As PEOPLE reported, the reality star enthusiastically promoted the Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour on Instagram by reposting the official tour poster to her Stories and asking fans, “Are you ready?”

The mom of four also shared photos of North and Santana together on her main Instagram feed, writing, “Kimokawii tour. Ticket link on my story @northwest @mollysantana.”
Kris Jenner also threw her support behind North’s first headlining tour by reposting the official Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour announcement to her Instagram Stories and directing her followers to the ticket link.
North West Breaks Silence With New Promise Following Tour Cancellation
Although the debut tour didn’t go as planned, North assured fans that they still had something to look forward to. In a now-deleted Instagram story post, the singer addressed fans, expressing disappointment.
“I was really excited to go on tour w Molly Santana sadly it isn’t happening anymore,” North revealed per The Blast, acknowledging how much she had been looking forward to the 14-date run.
Although she did not reveal why the shows were canceled, North promised supporters that she had “something special” planned for the future before signing off with, “See ya soon.”

Santana also broke her silence and made sure to acknowledge the fans who had already invested time and money into the planned performances.
The rapper apologized directly to ticket holders in an Instagram Story, writing, “To everyone who bought tickets to the tour, I sincerely apologize.”
Santana ended her message by promising to make it up to fans, writing, “I love y’all so much & promise I will make this one up to you.”
Supergirl may have fallen well short of expectations at the box office, but Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is making it clear that the studio remains confident in the future of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe.
During Warner Bros. Discovery’s latest earnings call, Zaslav was asked about the state of DC following the disappointing theatrical performance of Supergirl. Rather than signaling a change in direction, the Warner Bros. Discovery boss pointed toward the unpredictable nature of the entertainment industry and the projects DC Studios already has in development.
“Media is by nature a business full of hits and misses,” Zaslav said.
The comments come after Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, struggled to find a sizable audience in theaters. The film opened to approximately $37 million domestically and ultimately finished its theatrical run with around $125 million worldwide against a reported $170 million production budget.

Those numbers make Supergirl a significant financial disappointment for Warner Bros. and an early setback for Gunn and Safran’s rebooted DC Universe. However, Zaslav does not appear ready to judge the future of the franchise based on the performance of a single film.
“We have a robust pipeline,” Zaslav said while discussing what is coming from DC Studios.
One of the biggest projects in that pipeline is Man of Tomorrow, Gunn’s follow up to 2025’s Superman. Zaslav revealed that Gunn is currently focused on the upcoming film and said he has already seen material from the production.

“James is now focused on Man of Tomorrow,” Zaslav said, adding that he recently saw images from the film and that it “looks fantastic.”
Man of Tomorrow will bring David Corenswet back as Superman alongside Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Gunn has previously teased an unusual dynamic between the longtime enemies, revealing that Superman and Lex will be forced to work together, at least to some degree, against a larger threat.
The film is quickly becoming one of the most important projects in the early years of the new DCU. Gunn’s Superman successfully launched the theatrical side of the franchise in 2025, while Supergirl demonstrated just how difficult it can be to turn lesser established DC characters into major theatrical draws.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the DCU itself is in trouble. One unsuccessful movie rarely determines the fate of an entire cinematic universe, particularly this early in its lifespan. But Supergirl does put additional pressure on upcoming projects to prove that audiences are interested in exploring the wider DC roster beyond characters like Superman and Batman.

Warner Bros. also has more opportunities to build that audience. DC Studios has several projects moving forward across film and television, including Lanterns, Clayface and eventually The Batman Part II under the separate DC Elseworlds banner.
For now, Warner Bros. appears committed to staying the course.
Rather than reacting to Supergirl by immediately restructuring its DC plans, Zaslav’s comments suggest the studio understands that building a new cinematic universe will inevitably come with successes and failures. The real question will be whether Gunn and Safran can turn those individual projects into a franchise audiences consistently want to follow.

Man of Tomorrow could provide that answer sooner rather than later.
The film is currently scheduled to hit theaters on July 9, 2027.
Collider’s Perri Nemiroff chats with Jane Schoenbrun for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.
Schoenbrun discusses the fight to get their third film greenlit, MUBI’s support, and sharing their vision with their cast and creatives.
They also break down Camp Miasma‘s epic oner, the design for Little Death, and reveal which scene was left on the cutting room floor.
If there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that horror creators are going to have fun with the genre, whether the project is widely welcomed or not. Particularly, writer and director Jane Schoenbrun, who burst onto the scene with 2021’s We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, before dazzling audiences at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival with their acclaimed follow-up, I Saw the TV Glow. Now, after yet another mystifying uphill battle, as they tell Collider’s Perri Nemiroff, for that coveted green light, we’re returning to Schoenbrun’s whimsical world with Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, starring Gillian Anderson (The X-Files) and Hannah Einbinder (Hacks).
Influenced by ‘80s movies like Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp, Schoenbrun’s latest puts an irreverent spin on a genre that often amasses cult followings. In the movie, Einbinder plays a young filmmaker, Kris, who’s been given the task of rebooting the Camp Miasma slasher franchise for a diminishing fandom after years of sloppy sequels. While researching for the project, Kris connects with the original film’s “final girl,” Billy (Anderson), a reclusive actress living on the campsite where the movies were filmed. Together, the two experience a sizzling connection of desire and delirium, leading to a blood-soaked awakening for Kris. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma also stars Zach Cherry as Will, Dylan Baker as Jeffrey, Jasmin Savoy Brown as Mari, Patrick Fischler as Rudolph, and reunites Schoenbrun with TV Glow’s Jack Haven as Little Death.
Check out the full conversation with Schoenbrun in the video above, with a transcript provided below, where they discuss how MUBI stepped in to help make this ambitious story into an on-screen reality, and the creatives around them who helped elevate their vision. Plus, find out how they crafted the final design for Little Death, and which scene Schoenbrun was “bummed” didn’t make it into the final cut.

Jane Schoenbrun Says Queer Liberation Isn’t a Hot Selling Point in Hollywood
“It’s funny, it’s sexy. It’s a good time at the movies, but it’s not getting easier.”
Image via MUBI
PERRI NEMIROFF: I want to keep the train going from when we last spoke at Sundance for [I Saw the] TV Glow. We were talking about the experience of going from first narrative feature to second, and now I want to keep on going. When I asked you about that, you said something to the effect of, it was less about waiting for the green light and more about finding what you need to say as an artist, but then you also added, “figuring out how to be a spy with the gatekeepers who hold the power to get cool shit made.” Because you’re making even more cool shit now, can you tell me a little bit about the things that you have learned while spying on the gatekeepers to ensure that we could keep getting stories like this?
JANE SCHOENBRUN: Tricking people into letting me make my movies. You know, I wish I could say it gets easier, but this is a hard movie to convince people to make. I feel like it was really down to the wire a bit. I was like, “I wrote this script. I know this is the next one I want to make. I actually don’t know if I’m going to get to,” or “I’m going to get to, but it’s going to be like out in the woods with $100 again.” But thankfully, MUBI came along and really understood it and supported the film, and have been really great partners.
But I don’t know, maybe my new thinking about it is, like, it’s not up to me so much. The bind is that I know if I’m not being truthful, I know if I’m not following my own artistic progression towards the goal of being, not more commercial or more digestible or watered down as I grow as an artist, but more of myself, like, that’s the only goal. I’d rather not make something than diverge from that path.

With this movie, yeah, I was surprised that it was so hard because I do think it’s one of the more commercial things I’ve made. It’s fun. It’s funny, it’s sexy. It’s a good time at the movies, but it’s not getting easier. It’s getting harder for queer people to make honest stories about our lives, and especially if those stories aren’t, like, trauma porn. If they’re coming from a liberated perspective, which is not the perspective that Hollywood usually makes movies from — queer liberation — yeah, there are a lot of obstacles in your road to getting $10 million to do some crazy shit.
Jane Schoenbrun Says Collaboration Elevated Every Frame of ‘Camp Miasma’
“It’s just a constant pursuit of looking for joy and play.”
I know that this story was somewhat inspired by your personal experience. You worked on this script. I imagine it feels like your baby to a degree, but I love the fact that when you write something and then you share it with your cast and crew, it could become even more powerful in ways that you weren’t expecting. Can you tell me a few things that some of your cast and crew did with your writing that had that material far exceed your expectations in the finished film?
SCHOENBRUN: Oh, there’s just so, so, so, so much, and that’s what I’m looking for. When I write, I honestly just think of it as giving me and my collaborators lots of little potential gifts to trade in and get on various days on set, or in the sound design or in the edit. It’s like, if you’re not present and having fun, if you’re just kind of making something to spec, you’re going to feel that in the energy of the movie. And soit’s just a constant pursuit of looking for joy and play, and a lot of rigorous planning, obviously, as well.

A huge one was that opening credits scene with all of the memorabilia. I basically hosted a pop-up writers’ room with all of my closest collaborators. We just locked the door and didn’t let anyone knock for a morning, and we beated out that scene. We were brainstorming, like, fake taglines for each sequel and just coming up with the details that make that so fun to watch. That takes a village. There are just so many people who got to have their own joyful, creative process within this larger one.
Like my production designer, Brandon [Tonner-Connolly], and I. I think he learned on TV Glow that I love it when he surprises me with something really cute. A few of my faves that he brought, that were complete surprises, literally, until I arrived on set the day we shot, were the candy chandelier that you see at the end of the movie. Like, that’s his sense of humor, not mine. I was just like, “We’ve got to film that.” So much of those things.
Even my longtime assistant director, Willy [McGee], came over to me and was like, “I think I see something cool. What if you stood in front of the camera like this, in front of this glass, matte-painted backdrop, and then it creates this weird illusion?” And I was like, “Let’s do it,” because it was cool. I’ve learned to surround myself with people who can elevate the work, and who understand my voice enough to add their own to it.

Jane Schoenbrun Breaks Down Little Death’s Unique Design
They call it “unexplainable in a good way.”
Image via MUBI
You’re working with the best team here because all that stuff is exceptional in the film, and so is the design of Little Death. I love asking about how those types of things evolve from the beginning to the end of the process, so what would you say is the biggest difference between how you initially pictured that character looking when you first started writing and the finished design that we all see in the film?
SCHOENBRUN: I mean, it’s pretty close, to be honest with you. I guess one thing that came in through collaboration with Kendra [Terpenning], our costume designer, was the helmet. Once I knew that it was like that vent that we all see on the ceiling all the time, but don’t really think about, I could just see it perfectly, you know? It was just like, “Just take that vent and put it on top of somebody.” So when I saw it, I was like, “Yes. That is the thing that I saw in my brain.”
The outfit, the plastic wrap, that was not the original idea. We went back and forth a lot on, like, what would this guy wear? There are so many things that you’ve seen, and so many, like, not even slasher movies from the ‘80s, but the movies that we make now with slasher villains, kind of stock slasher villains. Like, I feel like Widow’s Bay had one, which I like that show, but everyone just kind of wears logger uniform. There were so many things that we thought of that were the obvious one, and then something about the plastic wrap just felt unexplainable in a good way.

Jane Schoenbrun Reveals They Were “Bummed” This ‘Camp Miasma’ Scene Got Cut
Plus, find out how that oner came together after “200 hours” of collaboration.
Image via MUBI
I’ll wrap with this question, because I’m a cliché film nerd and I absolutely love a good oner, and you have an epic one in your movie. Going into filming that, which particular part of it did you and the team think would be the most challenging to pull off, and ultimately, was it, or did something else catch you by surprise?
SCHOENBRUN: There were so many challenging parts of filming that. We spent probably, like, a combined 200 hours in inter-departmental prep meetings so costumes could talk to special effects, could talk to stunts, could talk to VFX, could talk to production design. It was just so much planning to pull that off. The second half of it, when Jack [Haven]’s got the Snorricam strapped to them — that’s like a 60-pound rig, and they are dancing with it — was probably the most challenging thing to pull off. It was one of these moments where it’s like fourth quarter, clock’s ticking down, we have clearly only one more in the tank, and it’s just perfect. That’s the best feeling in the world. We are jumping up and down and cheering when we get it, and it’s perfect. And a lot of that is Jack. Jack is the cinematographer, or at least the camera op for that scene, quite literally.

Another part that was unexpectedly hard: rolling a fake severed head. The one gag that we weren’t able to pull off that I’m really bummed about was we had the severed head on a stick, and we’re rolling it. The idea was the character’s got a mohawk, and that it would roll, and then it would kind of, like, Teflon — it would reach the mohawk, and then it would kind of go boing, boing, boing, and roll back, like it can’t quite forward the mohawk. But whoever was holding that stick and rolling it couldn’t quite get it. It’s like puppetry. I didn’t quite realize there would be literally puppetry. But so much shit like that. Also, we shot in May and June for a lot of that stuff, and you had six hours of true night at that time of year in Vancouver, and so it was really, from sundown at 10:00 p.m. to sun-up at 4:30 in the morning, it’s like all you can eat, go quick.
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma debuts in theaters on August 7.
A Mississippi community is calling for answers after the heartbreaking death of Tasia Fortune sparked concern and demands for transparency. As authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding her death, officials and community leaders are urging a closer look into what happened.
According to reports, the woman has been identified as 29-year-old Tasia Fortune. In addition, her body was discovered on Monday hanging from a tree in the backyard of a vacant property located on the 500 block of Road of Remembrance in Jackson, Mississippi. In addition, Jackson City Councilman Kenneth Stokes is now calling for additional support in the investigation, revealing that he sent a letter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office requesting help.
Councilman Calls For Justice Amid Painful History
As questions continue surrounding the case, Stokes revealed that he reached out to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for assistance, saying the focus is on making sure whoever is responsible is found and held accountable. “We sent a letter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office asking for help to make sure we catch and convict the person or persons involved with hanging a young lady in Jackson,” he said.
Additionally, Stokes addressed the city’s painful history. He also explained that regardless of whether investigators determine there was a racial motive, the circumstances are deeply troubling given Mississippi’s history of lynchings. He said the situation deserves public attention and condemnation while officials continue working to uncover the truth.

Officials Await Autopsy Results As Investigation Continues

Furthermore, Hinds County Coroner Jeremiah Howard confirmed that Fortune was found hanging from a tree, and the Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s Office is expected to conduct an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death. As the investigation continues, the Fortune family is being kept in the thoughts of those seeking answers and justice.

Jason Statham didn’t take long establishing himself in 2026, as his first movie of the year hit the big screen only a few weeks into the year. Shelter won over critics and fans with some of the highest review scores of any Statham-led actioner in his career, but that didn’t translate to box office success, largely due to the film’s $50 million budget. After grossing only $54 million at the box office, Shelter has gone on to become one of the biggest streaming hits of the year on both Starz and HBO Max. Statham fans have a lot to be excited about in 2027, when he returns to his role as Adam Clay in The Beekeeper 2. The film was originally supposed to be released in 2026 before being delayed to the third week of 2027.
Jason Statham will have a chance to redeem the box office failure of Shelter, though, when his next movie hits theaters later this month. Statham will star alongside Annabelle Wallis (Peaky Blinders) in Mutiny, the new action thriller opening in theaters worldwide on August 21. Statham plays Cole Reed in the film, an unassuming man who finds himself on the run and in the middle of an international conspiracy after his boss is murdered in front of him, leaving him as the prime suspect. J.P. Davis and Lindsay Michel wrote the script for Mutiny, and Jean-François Richet directed the film — Richet recently guided Gerard Butler to one of his best performances in the 2023 action thriller, Plane. Additional Mutiny stars include Adrian Lester, Ramon Tikaram, and Lee Charles.

Collider Exclusive · Action Hero Quiz Which Action Hero Would Be Your Perfect Partner? Rambo · James Bond · Indiana Jones · John McClane · Ethan Hunt
Five legends. Five completely different ways of getting out alive — with style, with muscle, with charm, with luck, or with a plan so intricate it probably shouldn’t work. Ten questions will reveal which action hero was built to have your back.
🎖️Rambo
🍸James Bond
🏺Indiana Jones

🔧John McClane
🎭Ethan Hunt

01
You’re dropped into a dangerous situation with no warning. What do you need most from a partner? The first few seconds tell you everything about who belongs beside you.
Advertisement
02
You have to get somewhere dangerous, fast. How do you travel? How you get there is half the mission.
Advertisement
03
You’re pinned down and outnumbered. What does your ideal partner do? This is when you find out what someone is really made of.
Advertisement
04
The mission is paused. You have one evening to decompress. What does your partner suggest? Who someone is when the pressure drops is who they actually are.
Advertisement
05
How do you prefer your partner to communicate mid-mission? Good communication is the difference between partners and a liability.
Advertisement
06
Your enemy is powerful, well-resourced, and has the upper hand. How should your partner approach them? The approach to the enemy defines the partnership.
Advertisement
07
Things go badly wrong and you’re captured. What do you trust your partner to do? Who someone is when you need them most is the only thing that matters.
Advertisement
08
What does your ideal partner bring to the table that you couldn’t replace? A great partner fills the gap you didn’t know you had.
Advertisement
09
Every partnership has a cost. Which of these can you live with? No one comes without baggage. The question is whether you can carry it together.

10
It’s the final moment. Everything is on the line. What do you need from your partner right now? The last question is the most honest one.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Advertisement
Rambo
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Advertisement
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.

John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Advertisement
Ethan Hunt
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Mutiny, which opens in theaters on August 21.
When everyone’s favorite heartwarming sports series, Ted Lasso, finished its third season in 2023, it felt like the narrative had come to a neat end. Ted’s (Jason Sudeikis) time as coach at AFC Richmond came to an end as he made the tough decision to return to Kansas to spend more time with his son, and fans made peace with this bittersweet finale. However, Apple TV realized that, as the show continued to maintain its place in the streaming charts, there was more success to be found from their flagship show.
This past Wednesday, the fourth season debuted after three years away, acting as a soft reboot for the show. Back in Kansas, Ted has settled into life as a part-time grocery store employee and full-time loving, Fortnite-playing father. But the past is about to literally catch up to him, as Keeley Jones (Juno Temple), Leslie Higgins (Jeremy Swift), and Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham‘s Rebecca Welton touch down in America in the hope of enticing Ted back to Richmond to coach the new women’s team.
Simply seeing these friendly faces back on our screens is enough to please most, with the promised additions of the likes of Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education), Faye Marsay (Andor), and Abbie Hern (My Lady Jane) an undeniable bonus. Audiences have been posting their positive responses to social media, but how have critics reacted to the fourth season? At the time of writing, Ted Lasso Season 4 boasts a strong 89% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, marking an 8% increase on Season 3 but falling just short of the opening season’s 92%.

🚀Star Wars

Your Universe Has Been Chosen You Belong In…
Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.
Advertisement
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast.
Advertisement
You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
You’d find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to use it for something larger than yourself certainly is.
Middle-earth
Lord of the Rings
You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.
Advertisement
Middle-earth is a world of ancient wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough small acts of courage accumulate.
You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
Tolkien’s universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something heavy across a very long distance.
Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.
The Wizarding World
Harry Potter
You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.
Advertisement
The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
Harry Potter’s universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.
Westeros · The Known World
Game of Thrones
You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it.
Advertisement
Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don’t confuse the world as it is with the world as you’d like it to be.
Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are sharp enough to know which one lasts longer.
Winter always comes. You are already prepared.
The United Federation of Planets
Star Trek
You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.
Advertisement
Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
You would belong here because you are fundamentally optimistic about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being honest about how hard that achievement is.
The Federation is the universe’s most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
You don’t just hope that’s possible. You think it’s the only thing worth working toward.

What Have Critics Said About ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4?
Hilary Duff had three very special guests on stage with her during her second Lucky Me Tour stop at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
On Thursday, August 6, Duff, 38, brought out her daughters, Banks, 7, Mae, 5, and Townes, 2, for an NYC-style pizza party.
Duff’s daughters — whom she shares with husband Matthew Koma — brought out a pie from Joe’s Pizza during the star’s concert, joining their mom for a slice. As the girls bounded onto the stage, little Townes was seen leaping into her mother’s arms.
The Lizzie McGuire alum introduced all three of the girls to her sold-out audience at MSG, affectionately calling Mae “Mae-Mae” and Townes “Townsey Bear.” (Duff also has a son, Luca, 14, with ex-husband Mike Comrie.)

Just a day before Thursday’s concert, Duff revealed that she had been in the emergency room with Mae before her first show at the Garden on Wednesday, August 5.
“My kids are here tonight,” Duff said during Wednesday’s show, per a clip shared by People. “I can’t believe I get to show them this. We were in the ER this morning getting some stitches for my 5-year-old.”
Duff said that Mae was doing “fine” after her trip to the hospital and assured fans that “it’s all good.”
“But it’s very ‘our family-coded’ that I would be playing my first show at MSG and also be in the emergency room getting my kid stitched up,” she quipped, before telling her daughter, “Mae Mae, you’re very brave.”
The night before she brought out her daughters, Duff surprised fans on Wednesday by bringing out her ex Joel Madden’s band, Good Charlotte, for a rendition of their hit song “The Anthem.”

Duff and Madden, 47, dated from 2004 to 2006 and remain on friendly terms. Duff is also close friends with Madden’s wife, Nicole Richie.
“I have a good relationship with their whole family. We actually hang out all the time,” she said during a 2023 interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I was just in [Nicole’s] driveway, honking for her to come drink wine with us the other day. … Now, we get them to hike together all the time. And you know what? It’s lovely.”

Madden, for his part, told People in 2007, “Every girl I’ve ever dated I have respect for, and I always try to leave them [on] good terms. I don’t see the necessity to be friends with anyone you’ve dated, but definitely out of respect of the time, you have to be kind of respectful, and that’s what I try to do.”
Y’all! Ashanti had the internet paying attention this week after sharing a photo that seemed to make one thing very clear — she’s embracing this new chapter of her life. While the singer didn’t reveal much behind the post, the message she shared had fans noticing the details and reading between the lines.
In the photo, Ashanti posed in what appeared to be a bedroom setting, with a bed and nightstand visible in the background. She looked effortlessly glam with a natural face beat, glossy pink lips, gold door-knocker earrings, and a slicked-up bun styled with laid baby hairs.
The singer also showed off her golden-tipped manicure and a large ring on her finger while adding the text “Mrs. Haynes” with a black heart emoji over the image. Although Ashanti didn’t explain what inspired the post, the caption led fans to believe she was proudly showing off her married life and letting it be known that she’s happily taken.
The Internet Is Still Trying To Decode This
Fans wasted no time flooding TSR’s Instagram comment section, with many questioning why Ashanti shared the post and wondering if there was a hidden message behind it. In contrast, others were simply amazed that our girl’s face card is still undefeated.

One Instagram user @divalicious_ng said, “Who Nelly Cheating with?😂😂cuz why?”
This Instagram user @_gottabequickerthanthat claimed, “Her face card has always been valid 😍”
And, Instagram user @forever_aclassic added, “Well this is…..random 😂😂 but hey girl hey!”
While Instagram user @makinfacez commented, “She’s so Fione 🔥🔥i would give her that too lol”

Then, Instagram user @moreofmspyt shared, “Prime example of if he wants to, he will.”
Finally, Instagram user @onlyinhim said, “Let us know Mrs. Haynes 💍🎉♥️. I love it 🥰 . Keep being awesome and gorgeous 💕💍♾️”
Ashanti & Nelly said Couple Goals Only
The last time Ashanti and Nelly had the internet talking, the couple stepped out for a major celebration surrounded by some of music’s biggest names. The pair made headlines when they attended Taylor Swift’s wedding, serving coordinated looks and showing love for the newlyweds.
Nelly pulled up looking smooth in a cream tuxedo paired with a white T-shirt and chain, while Ashanti gave full goddess energy in a stunning cream beaded gown with a matching choker. After the celebration, the two shared love for the couple, with Nelly calling the event “incredible” and Ashanti saying there was “so much love in the building.”
Isabel, 30, took to TikTok on Wednesday, August 5, to answer a fan’s question on the matter after seeing Audrey’s recent post. “How do you feel about your sister-in-law saying they’re still trying to ‘save’ Roloff Farms?” the social media user asked.
Isabel candidly replied in her caption, “Honestly? It feels incredibly disappointing.”
She continued, “They have never talked to us about it. We don’t have the money to ‘save’ it but we are here, every day, showing up, working it. We tend to the plants and animals and the land of this place.”

Isabel, who tied the knot with Jacob Roloff in 2019, explained that her family has tried to “figure out a way to authentically save it” for four years now. “At the end of the day? You just need money,” she added.
“I just get a bad taste in my mouth that they talk about it like they would be the ones to come in and save the day when we’re here, wishing we could find a way to make it work. They never asked if we wanted to work together,” she vented.

Isabel spoke out hours after Audrey, 35, who married Jeremy Roloff in 2014, shared life updates via Instagram. “We went blackberry picking at Roloff Farms,” Audrey captioned a pic of herself holding her daughter Mirabella, 2. “A couple months ago we had the opportunity to revisit purchasing the farm but we ultimately decided not to.”
Audrey continued, “However, every time we go there, we can’t help but wonder if there is a way to still buy it through some creative means. Not necessarily live on it, but to use it for business, ministry, and/or a place for goodness and beauty to multiply. I still just have this hunch that a God might make a way.”
In June, family patriarch Matt Roloff relisted 16 acres of the 109-acre property for $2.6 million. He originally listed the land, in Helvetia, Oregon, for $4 million in 2022. That same year, Matt, 64, offered the house as a short-term vacation rental. He then took it off the market and relisted it in August 2025 for $2.8 million.

Jeremy lived on the farm with his twin Zach, brother Jacob, 29, and sister Molly, 32, as well as his dad and mom Amy Roloff. When Amy, 63, and Matt separated in 2015, she sold her half of the property to Matt.
Jeremy and Audrey previously opened up about potentially purchasing the farm in March.

“Things my February content didn’t tell you about my February,” she wrote in an Instagram recap. “Jer’s dad told the kids he was going to list Roloff Farms for sale again. It has been on and off the market over the last six years since we tried to buy it in 2020.”
