The Further
Scarlett Johansson Becomes a God In ‘Lucy’ (Trailer)
From La Femme Nikita and The Professional to The Fifth Element, writer/director Luc Besson has created some of the toughest, most memorable female action heroes in cinematic history. Now, Besson directs Scarlett Johansson in Lucy, “an action-thriller that tracks a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.”
Lucy became one of the hottest titles of the year after the film’s first trailer, now, a second international trailer has been released that goes deeper into the modern Matrix. Besson is a criminally underrated director, and we should expect to see one of the best action-sci-fi films in years come August 8. Watch Johansson become a near-God in the below trailer. Mind. Blown.
The film also stars Morgan Freeman and Analeigh Tipton.
Get ready to explore Raccoon City and sample a Jill Sandwich this summer. Universal Horror Unleashed is bringing the world of Resident Evil to life with a new limited-time experience inspired by Capcom’s iconic survival horror franchise.
From July 9 through August 30, 2026, the Resident Evil takeover will transform Universal Horror Unleashed into an interactive journey through Raccoon City, where guests will travel across six themed zones as they work to contain the T-Virus outbreak.
The experience is included with General Admission tickets to Universal Horror Unleashed.
Guests will venture through six story-driven zones inspired by the world of Resident Evil. Expect to see the iconic characters, too.
As the press release details: “Beginning their journey in Zone 1: Arrival, they are greeted with a battered “Welcome to Raccoon City” sign. As emergency lights flash, police scramble to contain the rapidly spreading outbreak caused by Umbrella Corporation’s T-Virus. From there, fans move to Zone 2: Mission, where they arrive at the Raccoon City Police Department, ready to solve a series of interactive puzzles. As they race against the clock, they’ll enter Zone 3: Infection, where they must enter the heart of the infected zone – a quarantined spot in Raccoon City where the last remaining citizens have transformed into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies. Amid the chaos, they’ll see familiar faces like the infamous Ada Wong.
“Pushing through the outbreak, they’ll enter Zone 4: Combat and come face-to-face with iconic characters from the Resident Evil franchise, including Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine and Leon S. Kennedy. As terror turns into adrenaline, guests will be at the forefront of the battles between these heroic characters, surrounding zombies and notorious villains. Once the dust settles, guests will be invited to take photos and interact with the characters. As they approach Zone 5: Escape, guests enter the final stretch of their journey, where they must survive the final mission.
“Those who survive will enter Zone 6: Aftermath, where they can step inside Umbrella Corporation and dine on limited-time themed food and cocktails for purchase inspired by the T-Virus and its mutations – but they must be on the lookout, as they never know who may emerge around the corner…”
As for Raccoon City-themed snacks, feast on the following if you survive:
- Jill Sandwich: Brioche, hickory smoked bacon, bibb lettuce, heirloom tomato chutney, avocado mousse, and black garlic aioli served on a medical-grade surgical tray.
- The Sewer Special: Beer-battered cod, cajun fries, house tartar, and lemon sofrito served on a medical-grade surgical tray.
- Brain Freeze: Ube gelato, mango gelee, chocolate feuilletine, raspberry sauce, coco nibs, and chocolate shard served in a souvenir beaker
- The Umbrella: Tequila, pineapple thai chili syrup, lime juice, grapefruit soda, garnished with a “rotten” pineapple and umbrella
It’s a fun way to celebrate the video game franchise that’s celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. And ahead of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil no less.
