Here’s the first trailer for the Minority Report TV series

MINORITY REPORT | Official Trailer | FOX BROADCASTING
It was just shy of a year ago that Fox announced its plans to spin a television series out of the 2002 movie Minority Report, and now we have our first look at that program, courtesy of the show’s first official trailer.

The network released the three-minute preview of Minority Report after announcing that the series had received a full-season order, putting it in line to premiere later this year.

The new series is set ten years after the events of the original film, which cast Tom Cruise as a law enforcement officer in the Washington, D.C. “PreCrime” unit, charged with stopping crimes before they happen with the help of three people who experience “precognitive” visions of the future.

As Dash, one of the former “PreCogs,” struggles with the crimes he continues to see in his mind before they happen, he finds an unlikely ally in police detective Lara Vega (played by Think Like a Man actress Meagan Good), an officer with a troubled past. Along with attempting to prevent the murders predicted by Dash (played by Inside Llewyn Davis actor Stark Sands), the pair searches for Dash’s twin brother, Arthur, while evading people who are looking to eliminate — or exploit — his visions of the future.

The series also stars Laura Regan (Unbreakable) as PreCog Agatha, the PreCog rescued by Cruise’s character in the 2002 film who was originally played by actress Samantha Morton.

There’s currently no official premiere date for the series, which was one of several new shows Fox announced as “coming soon” to the network. While Cruise isn’t likely to reprise his role from the film, the series is being produced by the original film’s director, Steven Spielberg, and his production studio Amblin Entertainment. Paramount Television, 20th Century Fox TV, and Max Borenstein (Godzilla) also serve as producers on the series.

Warner Bros. Discovery recently announced that The Batman – Part II has been delayed to 2026. But while the Bat is away, The Penguin will play. Colin Farrell is reprising his role as Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot from The Batman in an upcoming spinoff series from Max. The show reportedly takes place one week after the first film and in the shadow of the late crime boss, Carmine Falcone (John Turturro). Now, Oswald wants to be the new boss, and he's almost got a clear path to the throne in the first teaser trailer from The Penguin.

The Acolyte’s first trailer embraces the Dark Side of Star Wars
the acolytes first trailer embraces dark side of star wars acolyte tv 1

Since the launch of Disney+ in 2019, there have been four live-action Star Wars series, including The Mandalorian and Andor. But the one thing that each of those shows had in common was that they followed the hero of the story. This summer, The Acolyte is flipping the switch on that by putting the spotlight on Mae (Amandla Stenberg), a former Padawan in the Jedi Order who seems to have quite a grudge against her onetime masters. That may be why Mae is attacking and apparently killing Jedi with knives in the first trailer for The Acolyte.

Squid Game's Lee Jung-jae is prominently featured in the trailer as Jedi Master Sol, the teacher of the younglings in the Jedi Temple. Presumably, the girl who sees fire in her visions is a younger version of Mae. The trailer doesn't fully explain why Mae is on such a murderous rampage, but another character, Mother Aniseya (Jodie Turner-Smith), suggests that it's not about good or evil. It's about power.

How the upcoming Alien TV series can take the sci-fi franchise back to its horror movie roots
An alien jumps out in Aleins.

Noah Hawley, the talented creator of the TV shows Fargo and Legion, has set himself a difficult task with his upcoming FX TV prequel to Alien. In taking on a franchise whose highs (the original 1979 film) are very high and lows (Alien vs. Predator: Requiem) are extremely low, his best shot of success is to abandon the gonzo action blockbuster strain of more recent Alien flicks and return to the horror and – vitally – the mystery that made the original film a classic.
