Gruffalo Granny is coming to stay': new story to be released in September

It's always a challenge to write a sequel. Five years elapsed between publication of The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, and now it will be more than 20 between The Gruffalo's Child and the third book. I actually had the basic idea for the story a long time ago, but couldn't think how to develop it. It was only when the National Literacy Trust, whose work I'm very impressed by, used the first two books

KPop Demon Hunters Lego Sets Are Coming Out This Year

The announcement doesn't show any of the sets in full, but it does have a brief tease of what looks like a model of Derpy, the demon tiger and pseudo-mascot of the movie, knocking down a potted plant made up of Legos. Fans will know that one of Derpy's quirks is that he knocks down plants like a regular cat, but becomes fixated on trying (and, without thumbs, failing) to set them back up.

'Wicked: For Good' Review: The Finale of a Needlessly Two-Part Movie Musical Adaptation Doesn't Go Out on a High Note

The standard time for Broadway intermissions ranges between 15 and 20 minutes, long enough to stretch your legs, maybe grab a snack, and hit the washroom. An entire year? Why, that's more than enough time for all of that and more, including forgetting some of the most important plot points and character machinations of any sort of spectacle, even the major ones.

Ghost of Yotei Review - Same Sword, Sharper Edge

Countless other reviews have said exactly the same thing: Ghost of Yotei is a safe sequel. It's just more Ghost of Tsushima. It's such a rote, generic piece of analysis, isn't it? Pah. I pity those fools who lack my ability to write...er, good. And yet...well, it's completely true. Ghost of Yotei really is a safe sequel, and it really is just more of the same, albeit improved in almost every way.

Black Phone 2 review hit horror sequel lumbers toward Elm Street

With its 1970s small town setting, high school cast, psychic kids and gnarly neighbourhood villain, it was close to pastiche and, like the very worst of King's stories, it was also inelegantly overstuffed. Funnily enough the call came from inside the family home, as it was based on a short story from King's son Joe Hill, over-extended into a film that was a surprise $161m hit.
