Science fiction literature has been a source of inspiration for filmmakers since the silent era. Today many novels once deemed "unfilmable" have made it to the big screen, and the list of great sci-fi books that could still get movie adaptations seems endless. But what are the best movies based on sci-fi books we've seen so far?

San Diego Comic-Con has become the go-to event for major announcements about big Hollywood franchises. 2026 was a lower-key year for the convention in terms of movie news ( Marvel's big Hall H panel withstanding), but on the TV side of things, it was busy as ever, with returning favorites and promising new series getting some time in the spotlight alike.

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" proves that there's still plenty of life left in the MCU when it comes to these more ground-level narratives.

After all the drama, "Coyote vs. Acme" is finally here — and it was well worth the wait.

Liam Neeson's "The Naked Gun" is comedy gold, but one of the movie's most clever running jokes is something you might have missed.

Another hopeful in the Zoomer horror wave

The new horror film "Weapons" has been turning the heads of audiences and critics alike -- but that doesn't mean it doesn't also possess one cringey trope.

Tim Curry, who passed away at the age of 80, is most recognized for his great on-screen roles like Dr. Frank-n-Furter in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and Pennywise in "It," but for the majority of his acting roles, he didn't physically appear onscreen at all. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Curry was a prolific voice actor. His characters range from the pollution monster Hexxus in "Ferngully: The Last Rainforest" to the aristocratic documentarian Sir Nigel Thornberry in "The Wild Thornberrys" to Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars."
