Gerard Butler has had many successful projects, and his name is still drawing a lot of attention. Now, his critically panned disaster movie is getting new success on Netflix, despite not having the best reception when it was released in theaters.

2017's Geostorm was not a huge hit with the critics or viewers. However, the film, which continues the same trend of other disaster movies about the world ending, has a new chance at life thanks to streaming. Geostorm hit Netflix on April 1, and it has quickly become a hit on the platform, per Tudum.

For the week between March 31 and April 6,Geostorm debuted in fourth place on the global charts with 4.9 million views and 8.9 million hours viewed. The numbers aren't as high as other debuts, but it was still significant, considering that it only debuted in the United States.

Geostorm landed in third place behind the romantic drama The Life List,...

Five years after 300 and two years before Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder co-wrote and directed a 2011 dark fantasy adventure film that caused a bit of controversy. Now, Sucker Punch, which Snyder co-wrote with Steve Shibuya, is streaming on Paramount+.

Sucker Punch stars Emily Browning (American Gods) as Babydoll, who accidentally shoots her sister during a struggle with her abusive stepfather - who also murdered Babydoll's mother. When he finds out that the mother left everything to her daughters in her will, he takes Babydoll to a mental hospital where he tries to have her lobotomized. Babydoll retreats into her own fantasy world where, instead of an asylum, she is in a brothel and the other patients are sex slaves.

Babydoll makes friends with four other women, namely, Rocket (Jena Malone), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), Amber (Jamie Chung), and Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish). Blue (Oscar Isaac), who actually works in the mental institution,...

In an unpredictable twist, Gerard Butler’s Geostorm, the disaster movie that crashed and burned in 2017, had unexpectedly returned to the spotlight. The 2017 bomb had skyrocketed to the top of Netflix’s streaming charts in 2025. But what is the reason behind its failure? Why are viewers now flocking to it?

We don’t know the answer, but some behind-the-scenes details are leaving some hints. Dean Devlin, who directed Geostorm, has previously revealed surprising details about the troubled production. Despite the movie’s lackluster performance, Devlin is open about what went wrong and his original vision.

Directed by Dean Devlin, known for his work on Independence Day and Godzilla (1988), Geostorm starred Gerard Butler as a satellite designer tasked with preventing a global disaster caused by a malfunctioning climate-control satellite.

Gerard Butler might not be what you'd call an A-list star these days, but he's actually appeared in some solid stuff in recent years. The Scottish actor's '90s throwback "Plane" was a breath of fresh air in 2023, and /Film's Chris Evangelista dubbed 2025's "Den of Thieves 2: Pantera" a "triumph of dudes rock cinema." But none of this can erase the fact that Butler has starred in his fair share of duds, though if it's any consolation for him, the Netflix subscribers aren't letting something as bothersome as quality get in the way of streaming his films.

Back in 2017, Butler starred in "Geostorm," which on its surface was a generic disaster movie offering very little to entice audiences. But in reality it was even worse. The film was directed, co-written, and co-produced by "Independence Day" and "Godzilla" (1998) producer Dean Devlin, which you might think would work in its favor.

Oliver Stone's action thriller movie Savages will soon hit Peacock. Starring Blake Lively as part of its ensemble cast, the film debuted to mixed reviews in July 2012.

Savages will arrive on Peacock on April 1. Based on Don Winslow's 2010 novel of the same name and directed by Stone from a screenplay he wrote, the movie follows Lively's Ophelia "O" Sage, Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Ben Leonard, and Taylor Kitsch's John "Chon" McAllister Jr., an ex-Navy Seal. Johnson and Kitsch's characters are best friends and marijuana growers who confront the Mexican drug cartel after Ophelia's kidnapping. Savages also stars Benicio del Toro as Miguel "Lado" Arroyo, Salma Hayek as Elena "La Reina" Sánchez, John Travolta as DEA Agent Dennis Cain, and Mía Maestro as Dolores Arroyo.

Hunger Games franchise star Jennifer Lawrence initially signed on to portray Ophelia but dropped out before filming due to scheduling conflicts. Amber Heard,...

Gravitas Ventures has acquired U.S. and Canadian rights to Konstantin Khudyakov’s “I’m Beginning To See the Light” from Hoody Films. Starring Jack Huston, Abbie Cornish, Brandon T. Jackson, Jamie Chung, Lucy Punch, and Mark Boone Junior, the film is set for digital and cable video on-demand release in May.

Set against a “hauntingly beautiful coastal backdrop,” “I’m Beginning to See the Light” stars Huston as Ezra, a jazz musician who seeking solace in a remote lighthouse after losing his family in an unexpected tragedy. Becoming the lighthouse’s new keeper, Ezra “encounters kindred lost souls, each grappling with their own pasts,” according to a press release. “Through music, memory, and human connection, he begins to find new meaning in life.”

“I’ve always wanted to make a film about jazz and how music has the potential to help a person overcome grief and rediscover meaning in life,” said director Konstantin Khudyakov.

Margot Robbie is reportedly being lined up to play Anna Nicole Smith in a new biopic.The film is being put together by two of the tragic model/actress' real life friends - fashion designer Pol’ Atteu and TV producer Patrik Simpson - who have written the script and they have declared the 'Barbie' star, 34, is their number one choice for the starring role.Patrik told The Sun newspaper: "We are eyeing Margot and I think she is our Anna Nicole.

Tom Clacy's Jack Ryan and Reacher have been two of the biggest action TV series in recent years. The shows have aired four and two seasons respectively so far. Krasinki's Jack Ryan will soon get a movie, and Ritchson's Jack Reacher has two upcoming seasons confirmed. Both are a main character named Jack getting into high-stakes scenarios and going out on top against all odds. But Jack Ryan leans towards political espionage with its international CIA investigations, while Reacher is a crime thriller around the premise that a retired military police officer is dragged back into his old life.

Even though both are highly entertaining shows, they also have a plot-hole problem in common. Both have a romantic subplot in Season 1 that remains underdeveloped until the finale, then goes on to become unimportant in the following season. By making the protagonist's interaction with their love interest so inconsequential early on,...

"Pride and Prejudice" is the kind of novel that feels modern no matter when it's read, but Jane Austen herself died in 1817, more than 70 years removed from the invention of motion pictures. In other words, she probably could never have imagined that, hundreds of years in the future, there would be so many recorded dramatic adaptations of her most celebrated work -- nor that one of them, 2005's "Pride & Prejudice," would be able to capture its spirit so brilliantly as to renew passion for the story of Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) and Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) for a whole generation.

Arguably the best Jane Austen adaptation, that Deborah Moggach-scripted, Joe Wright-directed take on the novel was so perfect -- so impeccably attentive to the sharp social observation, the warm family dynamic, the richness of local and temporal texture, and the soul-stirring romanticism of the source material --...

Cornish intrigues in an implausible thriller about a woman who wakes up in a police station with no memory of how she got there

When Rebecca (Abbie Cornish) wakes up handcuffed in a police interview room with no memory of how she got there, something feels off. The officers grilling her about a hit and run seem legit at first: a detective (Moon Bloodgood) with a hard, mean stare is classic bad cop, assisted by a genial sidekick (Laz Alonso) who walks in with doughnuts. But the precinct is grotty even by police standards. What’s wrong with the place? You don’t have to wait long to find out. Just 12 minutes in, this overheated psychological thriller noir delivers an almighty plot twist. Like the movie, it’s more ridiculous than interesting.

Despite its B or even C-movie approach, Detained is given a bit of weight by an intriguing performance by Cornish.

The recently announced Jack Ryan movie, based directly on the hit Prime Video series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, has received new updates regarding its filming plans.

While Ridley Scott's Prometheus is undoubtedly flawed, it is underrated, and one of its failings is not unique to the film. As the fifth movie in the Alien sci-fi horror franchise, it is hard not to compare the latest movies in the Alien franchise to the first two, and the iconic character Ellen Ripley. Though each subsequent installment in the Alien series features at least one strong female character, none have yet reached the popularity or cultural status that Ripley did. As for Prometheus, it had Charlize Theron's Elizabeth Shaw, the archaeologist whose quest sparks the events of the movie.

Prometheus's ambiguous opening scene introduces the Engineers, who engineer DNA to create life on other planets, including humans. This fact causes the religious Shaw to struggle with her faith, and she ends up opposing the Engineers, who are returning to Earth with the Xenomorphs to destroy human life there.

Supernatural crime thrillers offer a distinctive appeal, seamlessly blending eerie atmospheres and inexplicable phenomena with the tense realities of criminal investigations. A unique amalgamation of genres, the supernatural crime thriller is captivating, elevating some of the best true-crime tales with the introduction or implication of supernatural dealings.

Whether pursued by seasoned detectives or uncovered by ordinary individuals, these investigations often blend clairvoyance and supernatural elements, incorporating trends from some iconic supernatural horror movies, ultimately providing deeper insights into the case and revealing hidden, otherworldly influences behind the crime. In such cases, the reality of the situation goes far beyond initial appearances.

His first two films Dawn of The Dead and 300 remain his most beloved works which showcased the best of Snyder as a director.

The latter was an adaptation of the comic book series of the same name by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley. The director approached Warner Bros. for the adaptation and had bold ideas on how to execute the film. While initially skeptical about the film, Snyder’s one-take sequence that he shot for the film impressed studio heads big time which led to the film getting greenlit.

When Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch premiered in 2011, it was met with a polarizing reception. Critics and audiences were off-put by its unique style, ambitious narrative structure, and the way it blended genres. As someone who initially viewed the film through a less mature lens, I found myself unimpressed by its convoluted plot and perceived lack of substance. Hell, I even watched it twice upon release to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. As time went on, I had moved on from the stale taste it bestowed upon me. So much so that I had even skipped any future Snyder offerings, yes, this includes his Dceu output. Maybe I’ll get to those one day. Who knows? However, one thing I do know is for certain: Zack Snyder loves himself a director’s cut of his films. Recently, he has expressed his determination to give his first original film the ol’ Snyder Cut treatment,...

British director Guy Ritchie burst onto the international film scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s with two hit black comedy crime movies, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. Both films were low-budget productions that exceeded box office expectations. Snatch tells the story of a rag-tag group of boxing promoters, bookmakers, Russian gangsters, Irish gypsies, armed robbers, and supposedly Jewish jewelers who fight to track down a priceless stolen diamond. Initially receiving mixed reviews from critics, Snatch developed a cult following over the years due to its witty dialogue and eccentric cast of characters.

Audiences seeking more Snatch-esque gangster movies are most likely interested in crime films with dark senses of humor, large ensemble casts of colorful characters, razor-sharp dialogue full of vulgar insults, and hyperlink-style narratives where multiple interconnected storylines take place. Ritchie's own Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction,...

Abbie Cornish filmed scenes as the late model Anna Nicole Smith at the West Hollywood LGBTQ Pride Parade in West Hollywood, California, on Sunday for her new film Trust Me, I’m a Doctor.

The 41-year-old Australian native was pictured with costar Kal Penn, 47, during the festive proceedings, recreating a past outing Smith had at a June 12, 2005, Pride Parade.

Cornish donned a silver faux alligator skin dress with open sides in replicating the look just like Smith – who died in 2007 at the age of 39 of an accidental drug overdose. Smith was a featured guest during the 2005 parade.

Take any random film directed by Zack Snyder, and hordes of his fans will probably argue that the theatrical ‘cut’ falls short of capturing the true brilliance of the director. From the much-discussed Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021) to the director’s extended take on Watchmen (2009), the director’s cuts are arguably even more beloved than the theatrical versions.

Although he is now able to release his favorite versions of most of his films thanks to his devoted fan base, Snyder still has one more film he’d like to try. According to Snyder, who recently spoke with Empire, he is still not satisfied with the way his 2011 flick Sucker Punch turned out, and thus, he still wants to “fix” it. Well, it seems fans might need to exercise some patience.

Could Zack Snyder’s Cut Save Sucker Punch?

You know that famous quote commonly attributed to Alexander the Great about how he wept when there were no more worlds to conquer? We're starting to think that Zack Snyder feels much the same way, except that his version of conquering the world is more about finding ways to re-release his movies with extra footage attached at all costs.

To be fair, this isn't exactly a new phenomenon for Snyder. His 2004 "Dawn of the Dead" reboot eventually led to an unrated cut down the line and his comic book movie "Watchmen" ended up with several different versions post-release. He pulled the same trick once again with both "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and, most infamously, his "Zack Snyder's Justice League" experiment that resulted in a completely different movie altogether compared to the theatrical cut. He's planning on returning to the exact same well with his two-part "Rebel Moon" epic...
