Filmmaker Shawn Levy also confirmed at EW that the Film franchise continues but not with a prequel or sequel. It’s entirely a fresh chapter of Star Wars that is set in a period of time that we haven’t explored yet.
It is set to hit theatres in May 2027, the first big-screen Star Wars film since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker. The storyline is kept a secret while the buzz is circling around the fans but it’s not tied to Skywalker era.
Levy stated that it’s not a prequel or sequel but a refreshing story, describing ‘the profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter.’ He realizes about the fact how characters and cinematic moments can live with us forever. To join this storytelling galaxy with such brilliant collaborators on screen and off, is the thrill of a lifetime.”
Gosling is showing that same energy with what the filmmakers said, “The script is good, It has such a great story with great and original characters.”
He pointed out the point from the original characters, there is no connection to old characters including Han, Leia or Luke. This new chapter of Star Wars: Starfighter will take to another universe, creating a new spark in the global franchise.
The first look reveals Gosling (in a leading role) and his nephew Gray dressed in rugged, middle of a sea hanged around somewhere in the universe.
They are expecting to join other cast members including Amy Adams, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Matt Smith, Simon Bird, and Jamael Westman.
There is no indication that Ryan Gosling is playing any legacy character or Han Solo. From the Levy statement it is clear that this Star War: Starfighter comes with new faces, new story.
But the speculation made from Han Solo’s legendary dialogue “Never tell me the odds.” Which maybe let the fans get confused. While it’s just Gosling’s hat with this dialogue written on it.
The visual of the rogue-ish look is echoing Solo’s spirit but that’s about the tone, not identity. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy also confirmed that it can’t happen, “we can’t do that”, making it abundantly clear.

The next prequel to The Conjuring is coming from director Rodrigue Huarte, which will explore the origins of evil in the Conjuring universe.
The horror realm which has captivated audiences for over a decade is nowhere near leaving. The Conjuring: Last Rites was set to be the final film in paranormal detectives Ed and Lorraine Warren’s arc, but the franchise’s immense financial success has breathed new life into the supernatural qua-machine. This time, a terrifying world from The Conjuring will be revealed in a bold new prequel.
For the fans of horror, it was news to shake the skies. A New Conjuring Universe Prequel Has Officially Risen from the New Line Cinema, via Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter. The green light came after The Conjuring: Last Rites smashed box office records around the world. The 2025 film grossed a staggering $84 million domestically and $194 million globally in its opening weekend, firmly establishing it as the horror genre’s highest-grossing film.
The franchise’s parent studio couldn’t say no to expanding after raking in nearly half a billion dollars at the worldwide box office. The largest question mark looming over the series had, in a sense, been answered by this financial success: Would The Conjuring series continue? The answer was a resounding “yes.”
Short film director and winner of several awards, Rodrigue Huart, is in talks to direct this untitled prequel. It is the first ever big studio feature film for Huart, a big jump from his praised horror short film work.
The Conjuring universe could definitely benefit from his unique creative perspective. This will mark the first creative turn for a different director since Annabelle Comes Home (2019) following a series of productions led by Michael Chaves.
Huart is connected to the wider Conjuring universe via a curious thread. Huart’s script for the modern day take on the much loved 1976 Spanish horror Who Can Kill a Child? Paramount Pictures picked up Huart’s screenplay for “Suffer Little Children,” an updated version of the popular 1976 Spanish horror Who Can Kill a Child? Huart met Walter Hamada, a veteran executive and producer in the horror genre, through this project.
Along with serving as executive producer on the biggest hits of the universe, including The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Nun, and multiple sequel entries, Hamada’s involvement with the franchise is that much more notable here. The choice to bring on the rising helmer for this major studio prequel may have been related to his continued partnership with Huart. This consider treating the established lore of the franchise prequel while also allowing Hamada to pursue creative decisions that lead to tried-and-true fear tactics might permit this business relationship.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, a Michael Chaves film that brought the Warren family storyline to a close, ended on a particularly strong note in the box office and storytelling sense. The ebb and flow of The film’s director, Chaves, has also made it clear that this was absolutely the end of the original saga, said that It is done. The title, Last Rites was intentionally chosen to signify the formal ending of a certain chapter.
The Warrens’ story may be finished, but the world they lived in still has a lot of unexplored potential to explore, as the prequel announcement goes to show. Instead of direct sequels, the franchise has taken the form of prequels and spinoffs that explore its mythology by going back to the origins of its demonic entities.
The title of the prequel is yet unknown and the plot is currently under wraps. However, the project is expected to go back to the origins of the supernatural power that has plagued the Warren cases across the franchise’s history. Reports has it that the movie could be related to one of the greatest (and earliest) hauntings in the series.
If Rodrigue Huart is officially confirmed as director, it will be a new creative vision for the brand while still maintaining the unique fear that has always been the hallmark of The Conjuring. Combining found-footage style with digital narratives, he also has the potential to give horror aficionados a somewhat new angle on this beloved franchise that’s both frightening and futuristic.
A billion-dollar franchise isn’t finished freezing audiences in terror. It’s just getting ready to frighten them in new and surprising ways.
As The Conjuring universe moves into a new era with Rodrigue Huart at the helm, the franchise definitely has more terror in store for its audience. Last Rites was the emotional conclusion to the Warren saga, but this prequel is said to explore further into the terrifying source of evil that began everything. If Huart applies his iconic vision and storytelling skill to the material, fans will be in for a brand-new horror age that pays homage to the legacy of The Conjuring while reimagining its scares for a new generation. The haunting, it would seem, is still to come.
Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson star in Die My Love, a haunting new film exploring love, madness, and emotional intensity on screen.
Buzz builds for Die My Love. This is mind-bending dark drama duo’s first pairing. It is directed by Lynne Ramsay. She got an Oscar nom for We Need to Talk About Kevin. Ramsay and playwright Enda Walsh, along with Alice Birch, co-wrote the screenplay. The narrative is adapted from the Argentinean novel by Ariana Harwicz Die, My Love. It follows Grace, played by Jennifer Lawrence. She writes and is a new mother. Her psychosis disintegrates when she and her husband Jackson (Robert Pattinson) move out of New York City to his childhood home in rural Montana. In the film, Grace suffers from postpartum blues and madness. These things begin to crack her marriage. There’s heat building in the desolate rural location, too. Reports by Mubi. The company describe it as Ramsay’s razor-sharp perspective on a woman consumed by love and wild thoughts.
Die My Love is a celebrity-powered indie. Besides starring, Jennifer Lawrence is producing through her banner Excellent Cadaver and Martin Scorsese is producing via his Sikelia company. Scorsese, in fact, backed the project after he read the book as part of a book club, he recommended it to Lawrence. The two even passed on adapting another classic book because it presented a tougher role. Lawrence fought for it despite Ramsay’s initial hesitation (she’d just done a similar motherhood movie). One version has it that Lawrence was determined to have a go at working on Die My Love as a team and talked Ramsay into turning it from a straightforward depression narrative into a “bonkers, crazy love story.”
Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson are headlining the film’s ensemble. Lawrence plays Grace, a mother and wife about to break. Pattinson is Jackson, her husband. LaKeith Stanfield has been cast as Grace’s forbidden love interest. Legendary actors Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek star as Jackson’s parents. Grace and Jackson are said to be relishing their new beginning, via People. They have a good time with sex and crazy dances. But once the baby arrives, Grace’s isolation and mental illness strain their relationship.

This Lawrence–Pattinson chemistry is what makes this especially exciting to fans. Lawrence, an Oscar winner for Silver Linings Playbook, is known for dramatic as well as blockbuster roles Hunger Games, while Pattinson went from being a teen heartthrob Twilight to an indie darling Good Time, High Life, and now, Batman. The two actors have praised each other’s performances and Lawrence has joked in interviews that starring opposite Pattinson at last is total revenge after her failed Twilight audition.
They were reported to have gotten close off-screen during the film’s premiere in Cannes. Lawrence joked that having kids changes everything and Pattinson added that becoming a father has provided him with the biggest trove of energy and inspiration to work. (Lawrence has also said that playing Grace added another layer for her by drawing on her own difficult postpartum experience).
The excitement ran high as Die My Love made its Cannes Film Festival debut in 2025. The critical response was overwhelmingly positive. Lawrence’s acting received an “award-worthy” standing ovation for around nine minutes, according to People. The MUBI buyout campaign draws attention to this praise. Trailers show Lawrence in wild dance, fight and fierce growl sequences deep in emotion. It is this hard edge that Ramsay can do so well.
Ramsay, who refers to the film as a dark comedic love story about insanity, Pattinson joked some moments are “hilarious” in a twisted way, she said.
Die My Love is a relentless, unsettling drama — a peek at a marriage disintegrating under the pressure of new parenthood. Ramsay directs the film, with Walsh and Birch as co-writers, with major producers attached (including Lawrence and Scorsese). Jennifer Lawrence is Grace and also produces through Excellent Cadaver, while Robert Pattinson is her husband Jackson.
The film is slated to be released in U.S. cinemas on 7 November 2025 after premiering at Cannes on 17 May. This pairing of acting titans both heavy Oscar front-runners has the fans talking, in part because reports have them pushing one another on set. Ramsay calls the completed film a really dark love story that’s also funny, and Lawrence gives what some are already calling the most riveting performance of her career.
The unrated My Love is becoming one of the most awaited movies of 2025 — an unrefined, haunting, and passionate exploration of love, insanity, and motherhood. With Lynne Ramsay’s distinctive intensity leading the way and Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson delivering powerhouse performances, the film will no doubt be both visually breathtaking and psychologically enthralling. Lawrence’s performance as Grace has already earned early Oscar buzz, and Pattinson’s reserved yet multifaceted portrayal provides a tether for her spiraling descent.
