AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoSci-Fi on Prime Video: “Blade Runner 2099” landed a teaser and a Nov. 25 premiere date at San Diego Comic-Con, starring Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer in a replicant-led future tied to Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Comic-Con signals a shift: Panels at SDCC leaned into creator-driven, non-superhero projects like Brad Bird’s “Ray Gunn,” Netflix’s “Hope,” and A24’s “Onslaught,” suggesting Hollywood’s IP hunger may be broadening. Crime fiction and true-crime culture: A TODAY list spotlights 2026 reads across thriller and romance, while coverage also keeps circling the genre’s obsession with murder and women’s stories. Publishing-adjacent entertainment: Disney+ unveiled “Code,” a wish-granting thriller built on the “Monkey’s Paw” style of unintended consequences, and “Clayface” previewed a gene-therapy horror angle ahead of its Oct. 23 release. Local book-world tie-ins: A rail bike adventure along the Colebrookdale Railroad and a Fergus Medieval Faire both point to the season’s “experience-first” trend that’s feeding bookish tourism and community events.
