Movieversalfilm News · Released 11 November 2026 · 3 minutes 54 seconds
Our weekly video countdown is here. In just under four minutes, Movieversalfilm News runs through the five biggest sci-fi and horror stories of 3 to 10 November, from a seaside horror with Paul Giamatti and Simon Pegg to a Godzilla record in Japan.
Watch: Godzilla’s Record, No More Star Wars and a DC Shake-Up
In the countdown:
- Number 5: Paul Giamatti and Simon Pegg star in the seaside horror Boutique, from Lodge 49 creator Jim Gavin. Giamatti plays an American tourist in the eerie English seaside town that inspired his favourite reclusive author (Pegg), where he gets tangled up with a murderous secret society. UK date not yet confirmed.
- Number 4 (rumour): Showbiz411 says Callum Turner is the next James Bond, and The Sun reports he screen-tested at Bray Studios. Amazon MGM Studios has not confirmed any casting, but Amy Pascal has said the new 007 will be cast by the end of 2026.
- Number 3: Adam Driver says his Kylo Ren days are over: “It’s over. No more Star Wars.” He and Steven Soderbergh spent about two years on The Hunt for Ben Solo, a film he says Disney’s bosses turned down. His verdict: “I think the ship has sailed.” His Star Wars films stream on Disney+ in the UK.
- Number 2: James Gunn and Peter Safran have stepped down as heads of DC Studios, with Jeremy Latcham coming in. Hours later, The Wall Street Journal reported that their plans included debuting Wonder Woman in Man of Tomorrow. DC has not confirmed it, and it isn’t clear which plans Latcham will keep. Man of Tomorrow opens in US cinemas on 9 July 2027; UK date not yet confirmed.
- Bonus pick: Toho’s space survival thriller Leviathan shows its first images. The live-action take on Shiro Kuroi’s best-selling manga follows students on a spaceship adrift and running out of air, with life support for only one of them. Michihito Fujii directs, and Shunsuke Michieda and Natsuki Deguchi lead. It opens in Japan on 11 February 2027; UK date not yet confirmed.
- Number 1: Godzilla Minus Zero took 910 million yen on its first day in Japan, the biggest opening day there for a live-action film and about twice Godzilla Minus One’s. It is in UK and Irish cinemas now. Since then, it has topped the global box office, and you can read our verdict in the Godzilla Minus Zero Super Review.
