Those who've seen advance footage of the new Star Wars series The Mandalorian hailed it as "classic Star Wars" blended with a "samurai-infused space Western."

So it's fitting that Pedro Pascal recently spoke about how the show leans into those Western elements by not easily defining or labeling the good guys and bad guys.

Talking to AP Entertainment, the hunter under the new Mandalorian helmet mentioned how the series is meant to be ambiguous about morality. "They separate good and evil so perfectly in the world of Star Wars," Pascal said, "and in this one it’s like we’re way more at the center."

With The Shining sequel Doctor Sleep - directed by The Haunting of Hill House's Mike Flanagan - arriving in theaters November 8, we thought we'd shine a spotlight on what makes this particular project unique, as Stephen King adaptations go, and how it connects back to the first book and movie. And it's much more than Doctor Sleep just being a decades-later follow-up. (Read our review of Doctor Sleep here.)

Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is one of the most well-regarded horror movies of all time - a standout not only of the genre but of cinema itself. It's also arguably the best adaptation of a Stephen King book.

While fans have been calling November 1 "Blade Runner Day" for years, due to the month the movie takes place, this year marks the first time Ridley Scott's seminal sci-fi saga has caught up with us.

Yes, Blade Runner's story famously happens in November, 2019. The film, for us, no longer takes place in the future - and Twitter was quick to point it out...

It's Halloween, 2019.

This is the very last day we can refer to Blade Runner as a film that's set in the future. pic.twitter.com/Qs1Jve8ABV

Full SPOILERS ahead for Terminator: Dark Fate!

Many Terminator fans are shocked and upset -- to put it mildly -- about John Connor, the future savior of humanity, getting killed off in the early moments of Terminator: Dark Fate. The decision to kill the franchise mainstay wasn't made by director Tim Miller or any of the cast but by Dark Fate producer and Terminator co-creator himself, James Cameron.

During a recent roundtable interview with the press, Cameron explained: "The idea that we whack John in the first 30 seconds, that was my idea. I said, 'If we really want to surprise the audience and we want to get everybody off balance...'"

Cameron continued, "It's like we've invested so much across the first two films and then to some degree or other in the subsequent ones, that I wasn't involved with, in this whole John Connor mythology. It's like, 'Let's just get that right off the table. Let's just pull the carpet out from underneath all of our assumptions of what a Terminator movie is going to be about.
