Spartacus: House of Ashur Panel Brings Blood, Memory, and Laughter to Comic-Con 2025

Posted on by

On Saturday, July 26, 2025, Spartacus: House of Ashur stormed into San Diego Comic-Con with a packed panel in the Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton Bayfront. The event featured showrunner Steven S. DeKnight alongside stars Nick E. Tarabay (Ashur), Graham McTavish (Korris), Tenika Davis (Achillia), Jordi Webber (Tarchon), Jamaica Vaughan (Hilara), and Jaime Slater (Cornelia). Liam McIntyre, who played Spartacus in the original series, served as moderator.
McIntyre opened the panel by asking the audience for a round of applause in honor of Andy Whitfield, the original Spartacus who passed away in 2011, to which fans responded with a long ovation.

The teaser trailer for the series revealed Ashur’s return in an alternate history where his betrayal earned him ownership of the ludus. “What if betrayal wasn’t a sin, but currency?” DeKnight teased, hinting at the show’s mix of gladiatorial spectacle and political intrigue.

Asked whether the new series would match the notorious tone of the original, DeKnight smirked: “If you’re wondering if House of Ashur is going to be as sexy as Spartacus… I think you already know the answer.”

The panel mixed heartfelt tributes with bawdy jokes and playful banter among the cast, giving fans a taste of the chaotic energy they can expect when Spartacus: House of Ashur premieres on Starz this winter.

“Primitive War” Brings Soldiers, Dinosaurs, and Big Laughs to Comic-Con

Posted on by

Ballroom 20 was packed as director Luke Sparke hit the stage with Ryan Kwanten, Tricia Helfer, Nick Wechsler, and Jeremy Piven, joined by moderator Brandon Davis, to talk Primitive War, an independent Australian film that pits Vietnam War soldiers against dinosaurs. Seeing it on one of Comic-Con’s biggest stages was a rare sight for an indie.

Based on Ethan Pettus’ novel, the film follows Vulture Squad in 1968 as they’re sent to track down missing Green Berets. Instead, they find a remote valley crawling with prehistoric predators. It’s part war movie, part creature feature. “Primitive War” stomps into theaters in Australia and the U.S. on August 21.

Sparke, who also wrote and edited the film, said the story had to feel real before the dinosaurs showed up. The cast trained together and filmed in rough Australian locations to sell that grit. Kwanten admitted he picked a Southern accent before reading the script. Helfer got a laugh with a quick Battlestar Galactica reference, and Piven praised Sparke’s go-it-alone style, joking, “this movie costs $11, and it’s all his imagination.”

Fans got a look at new footage showing tense recon missions, chaotic firefights, and plenty of dinosaur chaos. It ended with the line: “This ain’t no walk in the park,” which got a knowing laugh from the crowd.

With millions of trailer views already, Primitive War is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about dino movie.

“Upload” Cast Brings Humor and Heart to Comic-Con Farewell Panel

Posted on by

The cast and creators of Amazon Prime Video’s sci-fi comedy hit “Upload” took the the Comic-Con stage Friday, celebrating the show’s journey, and teasing what’s to come in its fourth and final season. The actors spoke about the show’s exploration of identity, technology, and human connection.

Moderated by The Office’s Brian Baumgartner, the panel featured creator Greg Daniels alongside stars Robbie Amell, Andy Allo, Allegra Edwards and Kevin Bigley, for a fast-paced, funny and at times emotional look back at the show’s exploration of identity, technology, and human connection.

A sneak peek from Season 4 was screened for fans, featuring Alicia (Zainab Johnson) in a hilariously unexpected new role.

One particularly memorable moment came when Amell, Allo, and Edwards rolled up sleeves to show off matching tattoos they got after filming wrapped.

The cast reflected on how their characters had changed, from Ingrid’s evolution beyond a high-maintenance villain to Luke’s surprising emotional depth beneath the comic relief.

Toward the end, Daniels revealed the cover of a new comic book titled Prefera, a digital-afterlife-themed story he’s working on with artist Tom Hoskisson and writer Izzy Kadish. The comic’s concept appears to echo Upload’s core ideas.

The most emotional moment came from Andy Allo, who paused to acknowledge how long the journey had been: “Seven years later, we’re finally here,” she said. “And we get to finish this with all of you.”

Upload Season 4 premieres August 25.

Posted on by

Amazon-Expands-KindleAmazon has introduced two new versions of its color e-reader, the Kindle Colorsoft, making the device more affordable and expanding it to younger readers.

The new 16GB Colorsoft costs $249.99—$30 less than last year’s 32GB Signature Edition, which remains available at $279.99. While the cheaper model keeps the same 7-inch color display, warm light, and weeks-long battery life, it drops features like wireless charging, auto-adjusting front light, and larger storage.

Amazon is also releasing its first color Kindle for kids at $269.99. The Kids edition comes bundled with a protective illustrated cover, a two-year guarantee, and a year of Amazon Kids+, which offers access to thousands of books, comics, and audiobooks. It also includes kid-focused tools such as Word Wise, Vocabulary Builder, and the OpenDyslexic font, along with Bluetooth for listening to audiobooks.

The move broadens the Colorsoft line, which debuted last year, positioning it as a better fit for readers of graphic novels, illustrated books, and comics who want a color experience without leaving the Kindle ecosystem.

‘Gen V’ Season 2 Brings Surprises and Cameos to Comic-Con 2025

Posted on by

Ballroom 20 lit up Friday afternoon as Gen V stormed into Comic-Con with an electrifying panel. Cast members joined showrunner Michele Fazekas to debut the Season 2 trailer, packed with crowd-pleasing reveals, including surprise cameos from The Boys. Erin Moriarty’s Starlight and Chace Crawford’s The Deep drew cheers, while Black Noir II made a brief but notable appearance.

Fazekas confirmed that Gen V picks up right after The Boys Season 4, with Homelander now ruling America. “Now we get to see what that looks like,” she said, hinting at tensions both on campus and nationwide as resistance begins to stir.

New characters were also revealed, including Hamish Linklater’s unsettling Dean Cipher and Ethan Slater as the university’s namesake, Dr. Thomas Godolkin. The trailer also showed off Zach McGowan’s Dogknott, briefly, and violently.

One of the panel’s most emotional moments came as the cast honored the late Chance Perdomo. Rather than recast, the show wrote his character Andre out, with a heartfelt “For Andre” line in the trailer delivered by Sean Patrick Thomas.

The hour ended on a high with a surprise peek at The Boys Season 5, teasing grotesque new supes and unexpected appearances by Supernatural stars Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins.

Gen V Season 2 premieres September 17 on Prime Video.

The Cast and Creators of “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” Took Over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con

Posted on by

The cast and creators of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 took over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con with new footage, returning stars, and a few surprises.

The panel kicked off with moderator Juju Green (aka Straw Hat Goofy) introducing director Emma Tammi and producer Jason Blum, to tease what’s coming in the sequel.

Tammi revealed there are over three times as many animatronics this time around, with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop once again handling the designs. “We wanted to make them feel real,” she said. “Like they could actually be standing in front of you.”

Josh Hutcherson (Mike) and Piper Rubio (Abby) returned to talk about where their characters are now: Abby is still grieving her animatronic friends and builds something for her science fair as a tribute, while Mike is trying to keep life normal.

New cast members Teo Briones and Theodus Crane joined the panel as well. Briones plays a paranormal vlogger in the sequel, while Crane’s character is a close friend who’s skeptical about a potential romance between Mike and Vanessa.

Matthew Lillard, who couldn’t attend in person, sent in a hilarious video message thanking fans for the success of the first film and joking that if enough people see the sequel, they’ll get to make a third.

He closed his message by introducing his Scream co-star Skeet Ulrich, who then walked onstage to loud cheers. Ulrich kept details about his role vague, only saying he plays someone with “a very specific past” and “a deep emotional tie to what’s going on.”

The panel closed with new footage, giving fans a glimpse at returning animatronics, including Mangle and the Marionette, along with promises of more action and deeper lore.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 hits theaters this December.

Holiday Odd-Couple Romance Takes the Spotlight in The Baltimorons

Posted on by

the baltimoronsJay Duplass returns to feature directing with The Baltimorons, a quirky romantic comedy that won the Audience Award at this year’s SXSW. Co-written with lead actor Michael Strassner, the film unfolds over Christmas Eve in Baltimore, where a newly sober man’s dental emergency sparks an unexpected connection with his older dentist.

Strassner stars as Cliff, an improv comedian trying to stay on track, while Liz Larsen plays Didi, a lonely dentist with problems of her own. As the two navigate their emotional baggage and the city’s cold streets, their night evolves into something tender, funny, and oddly cathartic. Olivia Luccardi co-stars as Cliff’s girlfriend.

Critics have likened the film to Before Sunrise with a dash of Harold and Maude. Ehrlich of IndieWire called it “a Christmas classic in the making.”

The Baltimorons opens in New York on September 5, with more cities to follow on September 12 via Independent Film Company.
