Yeoh and Washington portray teachers Anemone and Dovey from School for Good, while Theron portrays Lady Lesso from School for Evil. As the narrator, Cate Blanchett also joined the cast.

  • Stranger Things Turns Glorietta 4 Upside Down with Light Projection Mapping Show

    Stranger Things Turns Glorietta 4 Upside Down with Light Projection Mapping Show

    To mark the return of Stranger Things season 4, Netflix Philippines created an immersive show using light, sound, and projection at the Glorietta 4 Activity Center. It was also part of Netflix’s campaign before the much-awaited release of Volume 2 on July 1.

    The projection started with the creepy sound of the grandfather clock countdown, followed by tons of spiders coming out from the clock. The whole area glowed red just like the opening credit of the series. Scenes from the Vol. 2 came next before the portal slowly opened between our world and the Upside Down. The projection ended with Vecna’s return to the Upside Down and ready to look for his next victim.

    Cosplayers of Vecna and Max recreated the famous scene of the series which can be found in season 4 episode 4.

    The entire activity center was set up for photo opportunities as you enter Vecna’s Mind Lair with life-sized props and some elements of the show. The event provides a one-of-a-kind visual experience for fans and viewers and a genuine advertising initiative, which is uncommon today. It demonstrates not only Stranger Things’ popularity but also Netflix’s dedication to the show and its fans.

    Glorietta looks like Starcourt Mall in season 3

    The gateway to the Upside Down at the Glorietta 4 Activity Center is open to the public until July 2 from 6PM – 8PM every 15 minutes, so head over to Glorietta 4 and experience Vecna’s curse. Don’t forget to use #StrangerThings4PH when you share your photos or videos on your social media account. (NOTE: Cosplayers not included)

    Special thanks to Netflix Philippines for having us.

  • Stranger Things Season 4 Vol. 2 Trailer Hints ‘Fall of Hawkins’

    Stranger Things Season 4 Vol. 2 Trailer Hints ‘Fall of Hawkins’

    With less than one week until the last two episodes of Stranger Things Season 4 drop on Netflix, the streaming service has provided yet another peek at what’s in store for the youngsters battling to save Hawkins. Watch the latest trailer below:

    https://twitter.com/Netflix_PH/status/1539247516142579712?t=cpTtl1VYjPH13LWRNCFm0A&s=19

    Stranger Things, created by Matt and Ross Duffer, is Netflix’s most-watched English language series as of the first volume of season four. Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and the Hawkins gang have overcome unthinkable odds and come out on top,but not without casualties. Hawkins will fall, according to a sequence of warnings and concerns. Perhaps things will not go their way this time. Eleven isn’t prepared. But who is, when creatures from the Upside Down come calling?

    The Duffer brothers have explicitly stated that certain fatalities will occur towards the conclusion of Season 4. A death was quite predictable, but the constant assurance that there would be more than one death is both disturbing and unexpected. Could it be main characters or latest cast additions? Stranger Things’ producers admitting several fatalities only heightens speculation about what the ultimate body count will be and who will be included in volume 2.

    The last two episodes of the highly popular Netflix series this season will undoubtedly be filled with adventure, dramatic terror, and, of course, humor. Netflix stated that the two episodes will have a combined length of over four hours.

    Prepare to have a mind- blowing streaming experience when Stranger Things returns on July 1st.

    The hit 2019 mystery film, ‘Knives Out,’ has a sequel and it is coming to Netflix this Christmas season. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, the new film is called “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.”

Just like the first film, it has an all-star cast that includes Dave Bautista, Madelyn Cline, Janelle Monee, Kathryn Hahn, Jessica Henwick, Kate Hudson, Edward Norton, and Leslie Odom Jr, according to a brief trailer released by Netflix.

    Netflix has released a 10-second teaser for the sophomore season of its hit drama series “Squid Game,” along with a message from creator, writer, director and executive producer Hwang Dong-Hyuk breaking down what to expect on which characters are returning for the second installment.

    “Red light… GREENLIGHT!” reads the message alongside the teaser, which features a brief animation of the gigantic animatronic doll that features heavily in the “Squid Game” pilot.

    “It took 12 years to bring the first season of ‘Squid Game’ to life last year. But it took 12 days for ‘Squid Game’ to become the most popular Netflix series ever,” reads the statement from director Hwang. “As the writer, director and producer of ‘Squid Game,’ a huge shout out to fans around the world. Thank you for watching and loving our show.”

    The note also states “the man in the suit with ddakji might be back,” and that we’ll also get introduced to Cheol-su, Young-hee’s boyfriend.

    The Korean series became Netflix’s biggest series ever and still streaming on the platform. It’s unclear when exactly season two will make its debut but one thing for sure that it’s going to be another hit.
