This is your friendly reminder that we are not only getting a new original film from director Sam Raimi in just a couple of weeks. We haven't seen a ton of footage from this film yet, but now that we're in the final countdown for Avatar: Fire and Ash, we have some more time to dedicate to the early 2026 releases. The first trailer for this film showed off one hell of a concept with a very promising and unhinged-looking performance from Rachel McAdams , which is always fun. We got a new TV spot today, which reveals how Linda knows so much about surviving on a deserted island; it turns out she really wanted to go on a reality show like Survivor (unclear if they are referencing the actual show), and she's in it to win it. So she taught herself all the things she would need to know about surviving with very few resources.
