If previous rumours are to be believed, then the second GTA 6 trailer could launch within the next week. If you cast your mind back to the end of July, Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar Games released the Pizza Delivery update for GTA Online.

Needless to say, this led to speculation that Rockstar Games is planning to release the second trailer for GTA 6 on October 4. If the theories are correct, then this means GTA 6 Trailer 2 ...

Earlier this week we alerted film fans to the most underrated Western of the 21st century. Like much of the genre, Christian Bale’s Hostiles is set in the Wild West of the 19th century. But what about those modern or “neo-Westerns” in a contemporary setting? In recent years we’ve had TV shows like Breaking Bad and The Coen Brothers’ Academy Award-winning No Country For Old Men. But the most underrated of the last 25 years was also Oscar-nominated (including for Best Picture) and was barely seen at the cinema. The movie we’re talking about is 2016’s Hell or High Water, ...

THE 39 STEPS – 4 stars John Buchan’s tale of derring-do is often regarded as the first adventure spy novel. Patrick Barlow’s zany, barnstorming stage adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 movie has proved reliably entertaining since its premiere in 2005. Played at farce speed, Maria Aitken’s production is perfectly poised between frantic thriller and antic music hall, with the shapeshifting Safeena Ladha in three roles and Eugene McCoy and Maddy Rice quick changing their way through a multiplicity of characters while Tom Byrne’s Richard Hannay bounds from one hairsbreadth escape to another. The judicious use of miniatures, shadow puppets and ... Read more

Chesney Hawkes has claimed he feels that the “mystique” which used to exist between pop stars and the audience has disappeared. Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk in advance of the upcoming Reminisce Festival in Sherdley Park next month he lamented the lack of mystery surrounding contemporary stars. “The kind of mystique of pop stardom that we used to have back in the day has been eroded away because of social media and the internet and everything is so accessible,” he said. “Prince is my favourite artist of all time, and I love the fact that I didn’t really know much about ...

Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two recently confirmed that GTA 6 will have an autumn 2025 release date on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. While the exact date is yet to be specified, the rumoured October 4 Trailer 2 could potentially shed more light on Rockstar’s exact plans for the game’s launch. However, despite Take-Two’s confidence that GTA 6 won’t be delayed, some fans were concerned when finding out about the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) plans for video game actors to go on strike. The strike revolves around the use of generative AI in video games, and could potentially have a ... Read more

It’s been 13 years since George RR Martin last published a book in his A Song of Ice and Fire series. The Game of Thrones TV series has come and gone in that time, with showrunners having to rely on the author’s plot outlines for the final two novels The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. Five years on since the end of the hit show and the 75-year-old still hasn’t completed the next book. In his latest blog post, he addressed fan anger over the delay when writing about a chocolate model of him spotted at the ... Read more
