'Squid Game' Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk Teases 'Possibility' of a Spinoff Ahead of Final Season
Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk told PEOPLE there's a "possibility" for a spinoff of the hit Netflix series While he said there are no additional details at the moment for "when and how" it happens, he said "there is a chance" Squid Game returns for its third and final season on June 27The Squid Game universe could be expanding. Hwang Dong-hyuk — the South Korean creator and writer-director of the hit Netflix series — spoke to PEOPLE exclusively at the season 3 premiere on Wednesday, June 18, at The Plaza Hotel in New York City, where he teased that there's "possibility" of a spinoff. "I cannot just tell right now when and how it's going to happen," he said. "But there is a chance." Season 3 is set to pick up right where the previous season left off, with Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) — a.k.a. Player 456 — licking his wounds after he and some of his fellow contestants attempted an ill-fated rebellion against those running the Squid Game competition. The story left off with the players' revolt failing, Hwang In-ho (Lee Byung-hun) revealing himself as The Front Man and the murder of Park Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) right in front of Gi-hun. "The third and final season of Squid Game follows Gi-hun after losing his best friend in the game and being driven to utter despair by The Front Man, who was hiding his true identity to infiltrate the game," the official season 3 synopsis reads. The synopsis continues, "Gi-hun persists with his goal to put an end to the game, while the Front Man continues onto his next move and the surviving players' choices will lead to graver consequences with each round." "Why didn't you kill me? Why did you keep me alive? Why did you let me live?" Gi-hun screams in the clip as he's restrained. We also see the surviving players forced to finish out the Squid Game — including a twisted and deadly round of jump rope — that they were participating in before the rebellion. The trailer ends with Gi-hun being escorted to the control room to come face to face with The Front Man once again. "Player 456, do you still have faith in people?" The Front Man asks Gi-hun as it comes to a close. Squid Game season 3 streams June 27 on Netflix. Read the original article on People

Titan sub heard ‘popping' on previous dive before fatal implosion in eerie audio
The doomed Titan sub can be heard making popping sounds on a previous dive before the fatal implosion killed all five passengers onboard the vessel on 18 June 2023. Footage from the Netflix documentary Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster shows CEO Stockton Rush inside the sub on a test run as he describes hearing some 'attenion-grabbing pops'. Eerie thumps can be heard coming from the carbon fiber hull, which were explained in the documentary to be tiny fibres snapping when the sub was under great pressure. Stockton can be heard swearing before saying 'as long as it doesn't crack, I'm okay'. He later emerges safely from the sub to applause from his colleagues.

'A Minecraft Movie': Release Date and Time on Max
If you caught some morsels from A Minecraft Movie on social media -- videos of theater audiences going wild over a chicken jockey or Jack Black passionately singing about cooking chicken with lava -- tomorrow you can stream the flick that started it all. The Max streaming service, which will soon take on the title of HBO Max again, previously announced that the video game movie would premiere in June. Now it's shared the exact release date for the PG-rated comedy. A Minecraft Movie stars Black, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen and Jennifer Coolidge and follows protagonists as they try to get back to the real world after ending up in the unfamiliar, cubic Overworld. There are mid- and post-credits scenes, themes of creativity and adventure, menacing piglins and, of course, zombies riding on chickens. A Minecraft Movie is directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre) and has been a global and domestic box office success. If you're intrigued to see what a live-action Minecraft adaptation looks like, or you want to rewatch the chicken jockey scene at home, here's when you can stream A Minecraft Movie on Max. How to watch A Minecraft Movie on Max The live-action video game adaptation will hit Max on Friday, June 20 at 12:01 a.m. PT/3:01 a.m. ET. There are three standalone Max plans to choose from, and you can also opt for a bundle of Max, Disney Plus and Hulu if you want all three. Just getting ad-supported Max on its own costs $10 per month or $100 per year. There are also $17 per month and $21 per month ad-free Max plans (live events on ad-free plans will still have commercials). Separately, A Minecraft Movie is available to rent at Amazon and Fandango at Home for $10.
