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.

Get ready to enter a post-apocalyptic water world in Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead. The new science fiction adventure film is headed to theaters this spring, and Collider has an exclusive first look at the movie's trailer. Dip your toe in before you catch Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead in theaters on March 13, 2026.

As the trailer opens, it's been centuries since the world was devastated by a flood of biblical proportions. Humanity survives only on a small chain of islands and dares not venture further, as the way is blocked by a seemingly unending wall of storms. The only safe haven is the city-state Argos, which allows entry only via an arduous, Hunger Games-like trial known as Storm Riding. However, there is a legend of one man who braved the storms and survived: a man known only as Hammerhead. Now, two islanders are determined to emulate the legendary Hammerhead in a daring, sea-faring adventure. Can they face the storms and discover the long-hidden secrets of their world? You'll have to catch Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead in theaters this March to find out.
