A new movie and a new streaming series based on a beloved movie will help you explore the vastness of the universe, the depths of the ocean, and the far-flung future.

In Above the Below, Idris Elba not only stars but co-directs this space-survival thriller. According to the official tagline, “After three astronauts survive a disaster in space, their unscheduled crash-landing leaves them trapped in the crushing depths of the ocean with no contact with mission control and oxygen rapidly running out. In a race against time where every breath could be their last, the crew faces impossible choices, mounting odds, and new dangers in this pulse-pounding story about what we do when faced with the greatest stakes imaginable.”

Elba plays Jackson, one of the astronauts, and in the trailer we see him help fellow astronaut/pilot Brooks, played by Catilin FitzGerald, as they put on their suits, helmets and oxygen tanks in preparation for a plunge into the ocean. The tension mounts as they both sink into the sea.

The trailer ends with Jackson asking an inevitable question in the middle of a deadly race against time – “How hard would you fight to stay alive?”

Also in the cast are Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Rhodes. Martin Owen co-directed with Elba, and the screenplay is by Elizabeth Morris, Matt Mitchell, and Vicki Sargent.

Lionsgate is releasing Above the Below in theaters on December 4th, 2026.

The world of Blade Runner is expanding with a new series coming to Prime.

Blade Runner 2099 stars Michelle Yeoh (Wicked, Everything Everywhere All at Once) stars as Olwen, a replicant and a Blade Runner who is living out her final days in the seemingly impossible futuristic 2099.

The official description from Amazon reads, “Los Angeles has been reborn, just not by humanity. Cora (Hunter Schafer), a fugitive in a final bid to stop running, takes on one last identity: a Blade Runner.” Cora is a human but pretends to be a replicant when she is forced to partner with Olwen as they hunt down a runaway hiding a truth that could collapse the city while evading an extermination squad determined to stop them.

The Blade Runner 2099 trailer premiered at Comic-Con in New York and is available to watch above. Dimitri Abold (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy), and Katelyn Rose Downey (The Nun II) also star.

Silka Luisa (Shining Girls), serves as showrunner and executive produces alongside the original film’s director Ridley Scott. Jonathan van Tulleken (Lucky, Shogun) directs the first two episodes of the limited series and also serves as an executive producer. Steven Johnson is co-executive producer.
