A new trailer for Rogue has arrived online. The action/thriller stars Megan Fox, of Transformers and Jennifer’s Body fame. It comes from writer/director M.J.

And just like that, the Harry Potter movies are leaving HBO Max. WarnerMedia’s big streaming service launched in May and, as something of a surprise, all eight of the main entries in the popular franchise were available to subscribers. But that has proved to be a short-lived benefit, at least for the time being, as
