A first look at The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal's new movie Freaky Tales has been released.
Ahead of its premiere next month at the Sundance Film Festival, the Sundance Institute has shared the first still of Pascal’s character in the upcoming drama Freaky Tales. The image shows an angry-looking Pascal sitting by a window of sorts, holding a burning piece of paper. See the first look below.
The new project comes from Captain Marvel's Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden and follows four interconnected tales set in the late '80s. The synopsis posted to Sundance’s website reads: "In 1987 Oakland, a mysterious force guides The Town’s underdogs in four interconnected tales: Teen punks defend their turf against Nazi skinheads, a rap duo battles for hip-hop immortality, a weary henchman gets a shot at redemption, and an NBA All-Star settles the score. Basically another day in the Bay."
As well as The Mandalorian's Pascal, Freaky Tales also stars Rogue One's Ben Mendelsohn, Avatar: The Way of Water's Jack Champion, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's Dominique Thorne, Top Gun: Maverick’s Jay Ellis, singer Normani Kordei Hamilton, and Euphoria’s Angus Cloud, who sadly passed away earlier this year.
Pascal’s upcoming projects also include Ridley Scott’s Gladiator sequel as well as a second season of HBO’s popular post-apocalyptic show The Last of Us.
Freaky Tales is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January. A general release date for the film is yet to be announced. The Last of Us season 1 is available to stream on Max in the US and NOW TV in the UK. For more, check all of the upcoming movies heading your way in 2023 and beyond.

Similar to other large-scale RPGs, has a number of characters and locations that it can be easy to miss some — especially when one is locked out by certain decisions, like the githyanki Orpheus. With the many possible ways that players might progress through, it might be easy to miss many of the game's best moments and characters, which can bleed over to other quests and even the overall ending of the entire game.
In a new blog published to the game’s official site, Andy Tsen, co-founder of Ramen VR, fully officially discussed the prospects of Zenith: The Last City’s 2.0 version. The blog also acknowledges that alpha playtests will be enacted soon.
Marvel's Blade was one of the most exciting reveals from the Game Awards. Not only is it the first proper video game adaptation of the beloved Marvel character, but it's being made by Arkane Lyon, developers of games like Deathloop and the Dishonored series. That said, the reveal trailer isn't that long, and fans are understandably hungry for more.
The Golden Globes 2024 nominations were revealed last night, with Greta Gerwig's feminist candy-coated romp Barbie, which dominated the box office charts this year, leading the pack. It's got a whopping 10 nominations, including one for Best Musical or Comedy, alongside acting nods for stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling (supporting). The awards show has also added two new categories to recognise the best in entertainment, starting with a ‘Cinematic and Box Office Achievement' category, which honours the biggest movies of the year, having grossed $150 million (about Rs. 1,250 crore) minimum, of which $100 million must be from within the US. Eight nominees compete for that award, including Barbie, Oppenheimer, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Arkane Studios was in attendance at The Game Awards to announce a new project, but no one could have guessed what that announcement would turn out to be. It wasn’t Dishonored 3, or Deathloop 2, and it certainly wasn't a sequel to Redfall. Instead, Arkane announced that they’ve partnered with Marvel to develop a new game centered on everyone’s favorite daywalker, Blade.
Prime Video has released a handful of new images, previewing more of the upcoming animated musical comedy series. The new series from Vivienne Medrano, A24, and Bento Box Entertainment will premiere on January 19, 2024. The new batch of images shows off more of the characters.
The Last of Us has always been a major hit with gamers worldwide. When Naughty Dog first released this game on the PlayStation 3, fans were getting a cinematic action-adventure experience. We had a solid narrative experience, and it wasn’t long after that a remastered edition was released. There’s even a complete remake of this game available today, so it certainly has a strong fan base. However, this franchise got a new resurgence when HBO released a live-action adaptation. Now, this IP has fans who have never experienced video games. Shortly into the first season, HBO approved production for season two. Today, we’re discovering that this second season is heading our way in 2025.
The second season of HBO's The Last of Us adaptation will air in 2025, it has now been confirmed.
