Leave the World Behind.”Callers on the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile networks have experienced a drop in service and the reason has yet to be determined. Many AT&T customers reported that they were stuck in “SOS Mode,” a system used for emergency services, and some police departments have been unable to receive 911 calls.

Foe (★★☆☆☆), director Garth Davis’ sterile adaptation of the 2018 sci-fi novel by Iain Reid. Davis and Reid co-wrote the film, which unfolds like a novel, allowing ample space to imagine the inner lives of its characters, though the filmmakers might have done more to realize the world beyond married couple Hen and Junior, and the tall, handsome stranger who shows up uninvited one day at their isolated Midwest farmhouse.The year is 2065, and, predictably, fresh water and habitable land are globally scarce.

Peacock.“It’s the apocalypse – please don’t put lip gloss on me!” Beatriz, 42, told The Post. “I struggle when I watch television [set in a dystopia] and the world is on fire and everything is awful, and you’ve got an actress coming in and her hair is perfectly waved, and her skin looks gorgeous,” she said. “Especially as a new mom shooting it — I was like, ‘F–k it. Slap on some black eyeliner.

Josh Dallas (series protagonist Ben Stone) thinks there’s enough gas in the tank to fuel another takeoff.“I believe [the series’ final episode] is … the perfect ending for these characters,” Dallas, 44, told The Post. “It’s terrifying, emotional and surprising.

Prime Video’s new series “The Power” posits a world in which young women around the globe, in an inexplicable twist of nature, suddenly develop the ability to electrocute people at will — flipping society, and the patriarchy, on its head (“A world built for us, where we’re not afraid” says a protagonist). The eight-part series, cloaked in sci-fi, takes a while to charge into high gear, but once it gets going is rife with social commentary that resonates in today’s culture.“The Power” is based on Naomi Alderman’s eponymous 2016 novel and features an ensemble cast of younger, nuanced actors working alongside A-listers Toni Collette, John Leguizamo and Josh Charles.

“Ghostbusters” legend Ernie Hudson is haunted by his experiences on the set of the classic 1984 sci-fi action-comedy. Hudson, 77, opened up about the “psychological” damage he incurred working on the original movie that launched the franchise, revealing how being “selectively pushed aside” made the filming the project “difficult.”The veteran actor launched his bombshell appearance on “The Howard Stern Wrap Up Show” by declaring “Ghostbusters” director Ivan Reitman — who died at 75 in 2022 — a “really, really a brilliant man and I have just so much love and appreciation for him.” Although Hudson had praise for his A-list co-stars Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd — he didn’t share the same warm words for the Columbia Pictures studio execs behind the scenes.“I was the guy who was brought in, and so finding my place in the middle of that — and they were all welcoming and inclusive,” Hudson told SiriusXM’s Gary Dell’Abate and Rahsaan Rogers.

“Outlander” and “La Brea” — but NBC’s reboot of “Quantum Leap” doesn’t quite capture the spirit of its predecessor.That series aired for five seasons (1989-93) on NBC with stars Scott Bakula as time-jumping Dr. Sam Beckett and Dean Stockwell as Al, the cigar-chomping wiseguy hologram tasked with guiding Sam through his tricky missions after assuming someone else’s identity — and saving the day — as he bounced back and forth in time.This new version of “Quantum Leap” references the original show — both Bakula and Stockwell are seen, though not as in-the-flesh characters, and the series opener is dedicated to Stockwell, who died last November.

Hollywood Reporter reported Sunday that Sierra Dall, Cantwell’s partner, confirmed that he died at his home in Colorado on Saturday.Cantwell designed the prototypes for the X-wing Starfighter, TIE fighter and Death Star.He also worked on films including “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “WarGames.”Cantwell was born in San Francisco in 1932. Before working on Hollywood films, Cantwell attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where he got a degree in animation.

Sissy Spacek and JK Simmons — and they deliver the goods in “Night Sky,” a gripping, eight-episode sci-fi series premiering May 20 on Prime Video.They star as Irene and Franklin York, a 70-something couple puttering around their roomy, comfortable house located in the semi-rural Illinois town of Farnsworth. We know, from an opening flashback, that it was love at first sight when they met in a local bar as young adults, and nothing has changed: they still dote on each other — Franklin nursing Irene, a retired English teacher, as she recovers from a fall, and Irene worrying about Franklin’s health, particularly his increasing lapses of memory (which leave him frustrated, but droll about his situation).

1998’s “Cowboy Bebop” stands as maybe the most revered piece of anime this side of “Akira” and “Ghost in the Shell.” Netflix has boldly gone there anyway, adapting the animated sci-fi-noir-Western to a live action thriller with John Cho in the lead as brooding intergalactic bounty hunter Spike Spiegel. Like all private eye yarns, this one revolves around a love affair gone wrong amidst a sea of questionable characters. But it’s mostly an excuse to hang out with a trio of mismatched, cranky, heart-of-gold space cowboys as they flit from one bad-idea job to the next.This “Cowboy Bebop” does a couple of things well.

William F. Nolan was an author of sci-fi classics including “Logan’s Run,” which he co-wrote with George Clayton Johnson.Nolan was best known for “Logan’s Run,” a 1967 novel imagining a future in which humans face mandatory euthanasia at the age of 21.

according to The Hollywood Reporter, which added that while there’s no acting deal currently in place, it could be a “potential starring vehicle” for the veteran actor.Legendary is developing the adaptation, written by Brian K. Vaughan, as a possible jumping-off point for a subsequent film and anime off-shoot.Buck Rogers first appears in the pulpy sci-fi magazine Amazing Stories in 1928 as a war vet who falls into a coma and wakes up in the 25th century.

Total Recall is 3 decades old! Arnold Schwarzenegger’s rollercoaster ride to Mars holds up pretty well today and is seen as one of his action classics. Back in 1990 however the movie was a gamble, both for Arnie and director Paul Verhoeven.How did it come together? Did the shoot go well? What did people make of Total Recall at the time? And will there ever be a Recall 2? Let’s refresh our memories by taking a trip back to 2084…The source material for Total Recall was a Philip K.
