Netflix is so funny. The streamer goes radio silence on their projects for years ::cough:: THE OLD GUARD sequel ::cough::, then turn around and say, "By the way: this and that drops tomorrow."

Or tonight in the case of the new SING short. Did you know there was going to be a SING short? Neither did I. But today Netflix announced that tonight at midnight, the Halloween themed SING short will debut.

SING THRILLER.

What is is about? Well, just that. The gang decides to stage their version of Michael Jackson's music video "Thriiller"

Returning for the short is Matthew McConaughey as Buster Moon, Tori Kelly as Meena, Nick Kroll as Gunter, Scarlette Johannsson as Ash, Garth Jennings as Miss Crawly and Taron Egerton as Johnny.

To prove the global reach of "Thriller" Taika Watiti did a Haka inspired bent at the end of his film BOY.

Taron Egerton's not coming off of his IG hiatus for this, but perhaps he will in December when his Netflix thriller CARRY ON is finally released (on December 13th, to be exact.).

Maybe by December 13th they will release a better poster.

Entertainment Weekly exclusive pictures from the upcoming film (and other KINGSMAN alums goings-on).

Since Edward Holcroft has provided Taron's fans with a few glimpses of Taron since his self-imposed social media hiatus,

I'll give Ed equal time.

Holcroft's Lithuanian limited series A WOLF'S PALATE (which, to date is Lithuania's most expensive sereis) is one of the five series selected to screen at TV Beats Forum's inaugural screening day on November 20th.  The six-parter, A WOLF's PALATE is described as a psychological drama with supernatural elements.

While I await Ed's return to the screen, I just have to be satisfied with his selfies.

Our other KINGSMAN alum, Colin Firth has been absent from screens for a moment, but he will soon be back with the Sky/Peacock five-part limted series, LOCKERBIE: A SEARCH FOR TRUTH.

LOCKERBIE: A SEARCH FOR TRUTH tells the real-life story of Dr. Jim Swire whose daughter was among the 259 people who lost their lives in the 1988 bombing of a PamAm flight over Lockerbie, Scotland (with an additional eleven who died on the ground due to the disintergrating plane). It will drop January 2nd in the UK and the US.

Like Mark Strong, Firth will set foot in the Sherlock Holmes universe. He has been cast in Guy Ritchie's upcoming YOUNG SHERLOCK series for Amazon Prime Video starring Heros Fiennes-Tiffins as the young detective, Fiennes-Tiffin's uncle Joseph Fiennes as his father Silas,

Natascha McElhone as his mother Cordelia, Max Irons as Mycroft Holmes, Tsine Tseng (3 BODY PROBLEM) as Princess Gulun Shou'an, Dónal Finn (WHEEL OF TIME) as Moriarty and Firth as  Sir Bucephalus Hodge (no further character details have been announced).

And while not confirmed, there was a report that Colin Firth will be joining his ARTHUR NEWMAN and MARY POPPINS RETURNS costar Emily Blunt in Steven Spielberg's next film that is slated for a 2026 release.

Lockerbie: A Search for Truth

Colin Firth’s powerful drama about the Lockerbie bombing. The actor plays Jim Swire, whose daughter was on Pan Am Flight 103.

Colin Firth stars in this drama about the Pan Am Flight 103 bomb that exploded over Lockerbie in 1988 and killed 270 people. Firth plays GP Jim Swire whose daughter was on the plane and who leads the search for justice – dedicating his life to finding out what happened. It’s gripping, well crafted and sensitively told, but there’s no escaping the palpable dread in this opening episode, which starts with the night of the bombing.

Colin Firth and Catherine McCormack discuss how they approached portraying Jim and Jane Swire in Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, and the creative team behind reveal what drew them to the series. A powerful story, with casting perfection 🎞️📌

The five-part miniseries seems in thrall to the book. Swire co-wrote with Peter Biddulph, The Lockerbie Bombing: A Father’s Search for Justice. Lockerbie: A Search for Truth aired on Sky Atlantic and is on Now.

Lockerbie: A Search for Truth (Miniseries Review) | A Father's Relentless Pursuit: The Heartbreaking Truth Behind Lockerbie

A gut-wrenching exploration of truth, justice, and grief, Lockerbie: A Search for Truth is a must-watch. Colin Firth delivers a haunting performance as a father fighting for answers in the wake of tragedy. #Lockerbie #ColinFirth #MiniseriesReview

As someone who used to stay up watching crash investigation shows whenever my insomnia hit, I don’t think I knew about Lockerbie. Somehow the Pan Am Flight 103 tragedy in 1988 slipped under my radar. So I went in fresh and this miniseries hit me like a freight train. From the brutal, gut-wrenching pilot to the poignant finale, Lockerbie: A Search for Truth is a gripping and devastating…

January 29th and February 13th (UK and US, respectively) marked the 10th anniversary of the release of KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE.

Remember when lockdown popped off and Taron said they were going to start filming in September of that year and then there was talk the script was still being worked on?

Last year, while speaking to Collider, Matthew Vaughn said he knows how this supposed 3rd film begins and ends.

Good thing no one's waiting on that phone call. You have Mark Strong who is working like madman,

"Uncle" Sam(uel) Jackson who joined Kendrick Lamar during the Super Bowl Half-Time show,

Taron Egerton (who really is serious about being off social media!) is filming Baltasar Kormákur's (watch his lovely film TOUCH (2024) APEX with Charlize Theron and Eric Bana. And can be seen in Netflix's CARRY-ON - which somehow - became one of the top 5 most viewed films in Netflix history.

Colin can be currently seen on Sky/Peacock's LOCKERBIE: A SEARCH FOR TRUTH

Turning up on LORRAINE.

He will be seen in Steven Spielberg's untitled film (that has been pushed to 2026), and he is currently filming or recently wrapped Guy Ritchie's Amazon Prime upcoming series centred on a young Sherlock Holmes (played by Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, the nephew of THE KING'S MAN Ralph Fiennes.).

-Edward Holcroft has a Lithuanian series called A WOLF'S PALATE but it's release date is unknown. The series was to screen at a TV festival, but wasn't shown.

A second series of THE UNDECLARED WAR has been announced and Ed's name was not on the list of returnees.

Someone put this man to work!

Sky drama and Peacock “Lockerbie”.

It's not the one original series "Lockerbie," about the 1988 flight disaster. Sky and Peacock began filming in Scotland in February and BBC, Netflix and MGM started programming in March.

The cast members in Lockerbie Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, A Single Man, The Staircase) join Catherine McCormack (Slow Horses, Temple, Lucan) to play Jane Swire opposite Firth’s Dr Jim Swire.

Known as the Lockerbie bombing and the Lockerbie air disaster in the UK, it was described by Scotland's Lord Advocate as the UK's largest criminal inquiry led by the smallest police force in Britain, Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary.

The five-part series, featuring Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth, is based on the tragic Lockerbie terror attack on 21st December 1988 when Pan Am flight 103 from London to New York exploded over the Dumfries and Galloway town, killing all 259 on board and 11 residents.

Colin Firth, will play Dr Jim Swire, a doctor who lost his daughter, Flora, in the 1988 tragedy. Writers also took inspiration from Jim's book, The Lockerbie Bombing: A Father's Search for Justice.

In the wake of the disaster, Dr Jim Swire (Firth), is nominated spokesperson for the UK victims’ families, who have united to demand truth and justice. Travelling across continents and political divides, Jim embarks on a relentless journey that not only jeopardises his stability, family and life, but completely overturns his trust in the justice system. As the truth shifts under Jim’s feet, his view of the world is left forever sullied.

Colin dyed his hair a whitish shade of grey to match Jim's and wore a tartan tie. 📸 © Wattie Cheung

Firth was seen on the set of the new drama in Linlithgow, which will close several roads in the east end and city centre during the filming. Colin was spotted in character and has taken on the role of Jim, 88, the father of one of the 270 victims of the 21st December 1988 Lockerbie bombing.

At the back of Colin's briefcase was a drawing of Jim's daughter, Flora Swire, who was on her way to the US to spend Christmas with her boyfriend when Libyan terrorists blew up the plane.
