Basically, Sony’s flexing some serious cinematic muscle right now.

Editor’s Note: If you’re a fan of gritty, high-stakes storytelling, this is exciting news. 28 Years Later revives a beloved franchise, and Aronofsky’s involvement in Caught Stealing suggests another dark, intense ride.

It shows how deeply habits have changed, with more people ditching scheduled programming for on-demand binges. For the industry, it’s a clear signal: the future of TV isn’t in cable bundles, but in the apps we scroll through every night.
