A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."
An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

After big-screen international intrigue turns in movies like No Time to Die and Ballerina, Ana de Armas is taking her spycraft to the small screen. She's circling a role in Safe Houses, a new spy drama from AppleTV. Also set to star on the series is Top Gun: Maverick's Jennifer Connelly.
According to reports, the series is based on the 2018 Dan Fesperman novel of the same name. It centers around the mysterious murder of a CIA agent in Madrid, and two women who are determined to get to the bottom of it. De Armas will play Sofia Jiménez, a fellow agent who's been framed for the murder, while Connelly will play Ambassador Elizabeth Winthrop, the dead man's widow. As the two race towards an inevitable collision, they uncover a global conspiracy. It will be de Armas' first major television appearance since the early days of her career, starring on the Spanish TV drama El Internado.
What Have Ana de Armas and Jennifer Connelly Been Working On Lately?
De Armas has been on an action tear recently. After a scene-stealing and henchman-kicking performance in No Time to Die, Daniel Craig's swan song as James Bond, she starred in the actioners The Gray Man (alongside Ryan Reynolds and Chris Evans) and Ghosted (alongside Adrien Brody and Evans, again). Last year, she headlined the John Wick spin-off Ballerina, starring as a renegade assassin out to avenge the murder of her father. She also played a manipulative baroness in Ron Howard's historical survival thriller Eden. She is next set to star as an obsessive fitness influencer in the psychological thriller Sweat, from director J Blakeson (I Care a Lot). Meanwhile, Connelly has kept a low profile lately after starring alongside Tom Cruise in the mega-hit Top Gun: Maverick. She starred in and executive produced the dark comedy Bad Behaviour in 2023, and currently stars in the AppleTV science fiction series Dark Matter alongside Joel Edgerton.
Safe Houses was created by Gideon Raff (Homeland). He will also executive produce alongside Alexandra Milchan, and with Paul Lee and David Flynn for Wiip. Raff will also direct several episodes, as will Otto Bathurst (Peaky Blinders). Sara Gonzalo will produce, while author Fesperman will serve as a consulting producer.
