“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is swinging into Philippine cinemas on July 29.

About Spider-Man: Brand New Day

After the record-breaking global success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he’s devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

“People screaming together, jumping together, popcorn flying at the same time” – director talks about why “LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY” is best seen in cinemas, starting April 15

Director Lee Cronin is hoping audiences will watch his new horror film, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” on the big screen.

“I always think horror movies are best shared with the collective,” says Cronin, well-known to horror audiences for directing and writing the 2023 hit “Evil Dead Rise.” “You get that sense of movement and motion within a room when you get people screaming together, jumping together, popcorn flying at the same time.”

In “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” the young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace. Eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare. Produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville, the film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, with Veronica Falcón.

For Cronin, the creation of the monster in monster movies are of really great importance. “One of the things I knew is that I wanted to put this monster in full daylight and for the audience to experience and for the family to experience something unknown, something that’s there, something that seems off, but hasn’t fully revealed itself yet,” says the filmmaker. “The look of the monster was also very much inspired by the mystery in the story, and I love when things like that happen, rather than just saying, ‘Hey, let’s make it scary. Let’s make it creepy.’ There’s a purpose behind all the choices that we made. There’s a purpose behind the color her skin is when we first meet her and how it develops. It might seem like she’s getting healthier, where in reality she’s actually starting to decay in a different way. So, all of that – the various stages throughout the movie that we wanted to explore with the monstrous look – was pretty meticulously planned out from the start.”

Cronin also shares what he thinks makes for a great and effective horror scene. “There has to be something familiar about it, or at least for me, that’s what I'm always drawn to,” he says. “So, if I look back at my last movie, ‘Evil Dead Rise,’ there’s the infamous cheese grater scene, for example. I knew I wanted something domestic to be involved in the scene and to shock people, and I walked into my kitchen and hey, there’s the cheese grater. And it’s like, yeah, everybody has one in the kitchen. Everyone has a frame of context. This movie has some equally gnarly and unusual actions that take place, but again, always around slightly domestic things.”

The director is excited to take movie audiences for another ride and experience his latest horror film. “I try and think of the movies that I make and the stories that I tell as some sort of dark ride or roller coaster,” says Cronin. And sometimes it's silence, and sometimes it's just clicking towards the corner… but sometimes you also just need to be hit very dramatically in the face and in your mind with something that completely raises your heart rate and changes how you’re feeling about the experience at the time. And, yeah, the power of a frightful image is something really special and unique that I always love to play with and use to bring the audience on a ride and to entertain as well.”

5 Things to Consider Before The ‘I Do’ “The Drama,” Now Showing in Cinemas Nationwide

 PIONEER FILMS PHILIPPINES

They say love is all you need, but is it, really? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

“The Drama,” starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, now showing in PH cinemas, offers a striking reality check for couples on the brink of forever. Because before the vows, the wedding plans, and the “happily ever after,” there are questions that demand honest answers.

Here are five things to consider before the “I do”:

Can You Handle all the Truth?

Love thrives on honesty, but not all truths are easy to accept. In “The Drama,” one confession is enough to disrupt everything, challenging not just trust but the very morals a relationship is built on. The question is, how much truth can a relationship really hold?

Do You Really Know Your Partner?

“From Charlie’s perspective, Emma is this archetype of perfection,” says Pattinson. “He can’t imagine she could possibly do anything wrong.” 

Love may be there, but sometimes time and shared experiences create the illusion of truly knowing someone completely. Yet people are layered, like wearing different "masks," and only reveal what they choose to show while holding parts of themselves that remain unseen or intentionally hidden, in the name of love. 

Do you really know your partner, or are you simply in love with their potential, lovable version, the parts that are easiest to hold on to?

Are You Ready for the Past That Comes with Them?

Zendaya shares, “Charlie is ultimately a good guy, but he’s easily affected by the opinions of other people and maintaining the illusion that everything is fine. Unlike Emma, he hasn’t experienced intense or severe life changes. He’s someone who genuinely cares whether or not people think he’s a good person.”

However, as much as Charlie (Robert Pattinson) tries to maintain his composed, “ideal” image, Emma (Zendaya) carries a confession that challenges their relationship, forcing both of them to confront not just each other but everything they thought they understood about love.

In a relationship, when differences are laid bare, including the sides of them you did not expect, will your love stay the same?

Can Love Survive Discomfort?

It’s easy to love someone when everything feels certain and secure. But relationships are also defined by how they endure discomfort when doubt creeps in, when emotions clash with logic, and when love no longer feels simple.

Can you survive something that feels foreign? Can you endure truths that challenge your moral compass? If love is unconditional, then, what is your limit?

Meet Emma & Charlie

You are cordially invited to the cinema to witness the truth, flaws, and secrets before their “I do.” Experience their story on the big screen when love is pushed to its limits.

Get to know Emma (Zendaya) & Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and see how love can be when it’s challenged and revealed in its most honest form.

Guests mingle and experience the elegance and vibrancy of Gallio Events Hall’s spaces during the Appreciation Night launch.

“This evening showcases how Gallio brings its vision to life, turning every detail, from the layout of the halls to the flow of the event, into a memorable, seamless, and distinctly Filipino experience that sets us apart in the events industry,” said Sheila Bernardo, Sr. Operations Manager, Gallio Events Hall.

Jobstreet by SEEK shares in-demand soft skills in the age of AI, empowers students in Nationwide Career Readiness Roadshow

 

Younger workers are currently the demographic most affected by AI-driven job shifts, particularly as roles built on repeatable tasks continue to shrink. In 2025, the Commission on Higher Education reported a rise in graduate unemployment from 35.6% to 38.2%. 

Yet, this evolution presents an opportunity, as careers that successfully blend human skills with AI are seeing significant growth, making it increasingly vital for candidates to leverage the human soft skills that technology cannot replace.

To help address this gap, leading online career platform Jobstreet by SEEK rolled out its Nationwide Career Readiness Roadshow, a high-impact activation with insights-driven discussions, designed to provide support for incoming fresh graduates from different schools, such as the University of the Philippines Diliman, the University of Iloilo, andthe University of Pangasinan, among others. 

Adaptability and Learning Agility

In an evolving workplace environment, adaptability is no longer just an advantage but a necessity. Jobstreet by SEEK advised incoming graduates that employers now prioritize "learning agility," seeking candidates who have a proactive mindset to learn, unlearn, and relearn quickly. The bottom line for fresh jobseekers is that employers don’t just hire for what you know today; they hire for how fast you can learn tomorrow.

Practical ways to build agility include seeking feedback early and applying it quickly, volunteering for unfamiliar roles or tasks to practice being uncomfortable, and reflecting often by asking "What did I learn?" after every project. Most importantly, graduates may leverage AI tools as a learning partner and not a shortcut to doing tasks. 

Clear communication 

As modern work involves constant teamwork and cross-functional collaboration, the ability to explain ideas clearly and listen actively is vital to building the trust necessary to keep work moving. Poor communication often leads to mistakes, delays, and unnecessary conflict, making professional clarity a top priority for hirers who want to maintain efficiency in fast-paced environments. 

To develop professional communication, students are advised to practice expressing their ideas clearly in both verbal and written formats through workshops in business writing or public speaking. A critical component of this is developing active listening skills, focusing on understanding the speaker fully before formulating a response. Incoming candidates are encouraged to ask clarifying questions, seek feedback, and apply it to improve continuously. 

Critical thinking and problem-solving 

These skills remain indispensable because they allow individuals to move beyond simply following instructions to making sound decisions in complex, unfamiliar situations. Employers value critical thinkers because they contribute ideas that improve existing processes and turn challenges into actionable solutions. While AI can execute tasks, it cannot navigate ambiguity or exercise human reasoning to solve complex problems.

Jobstreet by SEEK shared that jobseekers can improve these skills by getting into the habit of asking questions and breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts. Analyzing different options before choosing a solution helps a candidate understand what worked and what didn't. Practicing with real-life scenarios, case studies, or student projects is the best way to turn critical thinking into a natural professional reflex.

“Employers don’t hire for what you know today; they hire for how fast you can learn tomorrow. Through these nationwide initiatives, Jobstreet by SEEK seeks to empower students to transition from the classroom to the workplace with confidence,” says Joey Yusingco, Jobstreet Philippines Head of Marketing. 

Jobstreet by SEEK continues to strengthen its position as a leading career platform, bridging the gap between education and the evolving workplace through expert-led insights that equip young professionals to become future-ready.
