Recently, I watched Roland Emmerich’s “Moonfall,” and wondered who in this crazy moment would want to escape to a disaster movie populated by tsunamis, towering infernos and moon chunks cratering the Earth? As it turned out: no one. But don’t we crave escape? When I want a psychic getaway, I’m always satisfied by the visceral weirdness of “Vikings.” So, how great is it that Michael Hirst’s historical epic, which started in relative obscurity in 2013 on the History Channel, lasted for six whole seasons and made stars of Travis Fimmel as legendary warrior Ragnar Lothbrok and Katheryn Winnick as his sword-slinging ex, Lagertha, among a horde of others?
Now, Hirst has passed the shield to Netflix and creator Jeb Stuart, famous for writing such classic star-driven thrillers “The Fugitive” and “Die Hard.” That means that “Vikings: Valhalla” has a narrative elegance and drive without sacrificing the pillaging,...

With less than a month until the debut of “Vikings: Valhalla,” Netflix has dropped the final trailer for the “Vikings” sequel series — and it introduces several characters who will become heroes to the Danes.
Leif Erikson, the famed Viking who is believed to have made it to North America, is introduced in this new show, set about 100 years after the original “Vikings” series, in the 11th century. The trailer shows Leif (Sam Corlett) and his Greenland crew, including sister Freydis (Frida Gustavsson), facing off against monster-sized waves on their journey to the famed Kattegat.
The trailer also introduces Prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Stuer), another famed Viking from history, and shows him getting very, very bloody fighting the English.
“Vikings: Valhalla” sees the clash of the Vikings and the English royals as they reach a breaking point over their conflicting Christian and pagan beliefs.

The first images have been released of Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
which stars Asa Butterfield as Jacob Portman and Ella Purnell as Emma Bloom heading up the young cast, alongside Eva Green in the title role.
Here’s the full lineup of the peculiar children, each endowed with unusual skills or powers. “I was a little worried about working with so many kids again,” Burton told Empire Magazine, “but they were all such professionals on set.

Back in November, Screenterrier reported on the casting of Asa Butterfield as lead role Jacob, and Ella Purnell as Peculiar Child Emma Bloom, joining Eva Green in Tim Burton's Peregrine's Home For Peculiars, based upon the best-selling novel 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' by Ransom Riggs.
The unforgettable, thrilling and haunting tale centers on 16-year-old Jacob (played by Asa Butterfield), who follows clues that take him to a mysterious island, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores the abandoned bedrooms and hallways, he discovers that its former occupants were far more than peculiar; they possessed incredible powers. And they may still be alive.
Filming has now commenced and we can meet the young actors making up the rest of the cast of Peculiar Children, who all possess incredible powers.
