The return of Joseph Gordon-Levitt is just getting started.
After the actor took a hiatus from Hollywood, Gordon-Levitt has starred in musical “Flora and Son,” “Super Pumped,” and “Poker Face,” all in 2023. Now, the actor is bringing back his comedic timing for darkly funny crime thriller “Greedy People.”
Gordon-Levitt plays an outrageously corrupt cop who helps convince a rookie (Himesh Patel) to steal one million dollars. The official synopsis reads: “Will (Patel) and his rogue partner Terry (Gordon-Levitt) upend their small island town when they accidentally discover one million dollars at a crime scene (of their own making). After the duo unwisely decides to steal the money, the community’s quirky residents are lured into the mad dash for cash — ranging from an expectant mom (Lily James) to a masseur (Simon Rex) to a shrimp company owner (Tim Blake Nelson) — and everyone learns just how far they are willing to go for the almighty dollar.”

The film is directed by Potsy Ponciroli from a script by Mike Vukadinovich. Uzo Aduba, Nina Arianda, and Jim Gaffigan co-star.
“Greedy People” also marks a reunion between Patel and James, who both starred in Danny Boyle’s 2019 Beatles alternate history rom-com “Yesterday.” Patel played a struggling musician who gets hit by a bus and wakes up to realize that The Beatles never existed. Patel’s character becomes famous performing Beatles songs, while also landing the woman of his dreams (James). The film, while not a critical hit or box office success, found new controversy after Ana de Armas’ character was cut out of the film. Fans sued Universal after renting the movie on Amazon Prime specifically to watch de Armas, who was included in the trailer.
In contrast, Gordon-Levitt opted to literally stay offscreen. The actor took two years off between 2018 and 2020 to focus on his family. The actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he prioritized being “happy” as how he selected his projects.
“Having taken some time off, the perspective that I’ve returned with was just really wanting to focus on the art and the craft that I love so much,” he said. “There were, of course, voices in my head expressing concern about momentum, career building and things of that nature. But I knew that if I wanted to be happy, I had to choose my first project back as what would challenge me as an actor and really intrigue and inspire me.”
He continued, “I’m incredibly grateful for all of the things that I’ve gotten to do, but stopping wasn’t because I wanted to stop acting or stop working. It was because I wanted to spend time with my kids. So, now I’m finding that balance. […] But yeah, it was a great two-year break, and that was the longest break I’d ever taken from acting in my entire life and since I was six years old. It meant a lot to me, and I’m extremely grateful that I get to do it. I hope I get to keep going forever.”
“Greedy People” premieres August 23 from Lionsgate. Check out the trailer below.

"People are dead. There's too much loss for it to just be a coincidence." Lionsgate has unveiled an official trailer for a dark comedy thriller titled Greedy People, the latest from Old Henry director Potsy Ponciroli. It's set for a release in select theaters in August, though there's not much buzz about it yet. Perhaps with more time? The "darkly comedic crime thriller" film follows the residents of a small island town who must navigate a sensational murder and the discovery of a million dollars (at the crime scene), leading to a series of increasingly terrible decisions that upend the once peaceful community. "A million dollars. A million bad decisions." Starring Himesh Patel, Lily James, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, along with Simon Rex, Traci Lords, Tim Blake Nelson, Joey Lauren Adams, Uzo Aduba, Nina Arianda, & Jim Gaffigan. This seems a bit too erratic and messy, jumping all over place with these wacky townspeople. Have a look...
Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Potsy Ponciroli's Greedy People, direct from Lionsgate's YouTube:
Greedy People Poster
In this darkly comedic crime thriller, rookie cop Will (Himesh Patel) and his rogue partner Terry (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) upend their small island town when they accidentally discover one million dollars stashed at a crime scene (of their own making). After the duo unwisely decides to steal the money on their own, the community's quirky residents are lured into the mad dash for the cash — ranging from an expectant mom (Lily James) to a masseur (Simon Rex) to a shrimp company owner (Tim Blake Nelson) — and everyone learns just how far they are all willing to go to get their hands on the almighty dollar. Greedy People is directed by indie producer / filmmaker Potsy Ponciroli, director of the films Super Zeroes and Old Henry previously, plus a few other projects. The screenplay is written by Mike Vukadinovich. Produced by David Boies, Kevin M. Brennan, Shannon Houchins, Chris Parker, Zack Schiller, Dylan Sellers. Lionsgate debuts Ponciroli's Greedy People in select US theaters starting August 23rd, 2024 coming soon. Look any good?
Lionsgate has acquired domestic rights to the Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lily James and Himesh Patel comedy “Greedy People.”
The film explores what happens when the eccentric residents of a small, picturesque island town are faced with a sensational murder and the discovery of $1 million next to the body. This sparks a series of increasingly bad decisions that do a number on the peace and tranquility of the community.
“’Greedy People’ is a hugely entertaining crime thriller in every way,” said Allison Lynch, Lionsgate’s director of acquisitions and co-productions. “Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lily James, and Himesh Patel lead an incredible cast through twists and turns that range from the hilarious to the horrific – and the movie always keeps you guessing.”

Berlin Film Festival, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lionsgate
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is versatile. He seemingly can fit into all kinds of roles, going back to when Hollywood first embraced him as an alien in the comedy 3rd Rock from the Sun. But before that he was everywhere, from Family Ties to Murder, She Wrote, China Beach, Quantum Leap and Roseanne. His genre movies include Halloween: H20, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Inception, and The Dark Knight Rises. His next role is as a bumbling, bent cop in Greedy People, a screwball comedy of sorts that looks like something from the Coen Brothers, where his law enforcer is very different than the cops he played in The Dark Knight Rises and this summer’s big sequel flick, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
Gordon-Levitt is joined by Lily James (Baby Driver, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) and Himesh Patel (Station Eleven, The Aeronauts), the two stars of Yesterday, back together again. Gordon-Levitt’s cop takes Patel on as a rookie in Providence, RI, showing him the ropes, and Patel ends up in a murder scene where the duo finds a bundle of money with the dead body. A host of players in the middle of the mystery include Tim Blake Nelson (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs), Joey Lauren Adams (Dazed and Confused), Traci Lords (Marvel’s Blade), Jim Gaffigan (Peter Pan and Wendy), Uzo Aduba (Lightyear), and José María Yazpik (Madame Web).

Mayfair Witches Season 2: Further News & Info
Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches premiered on AMC in January 2023 as part of the Immortal Universe franchise, and shortly after the show premiered it was announced that Mayfair Witches season 2 would happen. The AMC series is based on the novel trilogy by author Anne Rice, and stars Alexandra Daddario as Rowan Fielding, a neurosurgeon who finds out she comes from a long line of witches haunted by an evil spirit. Daddario is joined in the main cast of Mayfair Witches by Tongayi Chirisa as Ciprien Grieve, Jack Huston as Lasher, and Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair.
The first of Rice's Lives of the Mayfair Witches books, The Witching Hour, is almost 1000 pages long, and thus some changes had to be made to accommodate the show's streamlined eight-episode season. One of the most notable differences between the Mayfair Witches book and show is that novel characters Aaron and Michael were combined to make Ciprien. However, with Mayfair Witches renewed for season 2, the series will be able to expand on the story even more.

Determined to disrupt the world of mystery and magic she was plunged into, Rowan's voice-over mentions that she will take care of her baby (the reincarnation of Lasher) no matter what stands in her way. The teaser closes by revealing that season 2 is coming in 2025.

It only took about a month for AMC to decide the fate of the popular Anne Rice series, and Mayfair Witches was officially renewed for season 2 in February 2023. Though the news has been somewhat scant since then, due in large part to the Hollywood strikes which impacted most of the year, the second season is still happening. At 2024's San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that filming wrapped in mid-2024 and that AMC is gunning for an early 2025 release window.
Mayfair Witches season 1 premiered on January 8, 2023.

New Faces Join Season 2
The first season of Mayfair Witches showed some characters' deaths, primarily Rowan's cousin Tessa (Madison Wolfe), her mother Deirdre (Annabeth Gish), and her aunt Carlotta (Beth Grant). Unless these characters appear in flashbacks, it is unlikely they will return for the show's second season. Along with Alexandra Daddario's return as the powerful TV witch Rowan, several new cast members have been added including Ted Levine as Cortland's sinister father, Julien. Thora Birch will appear as Gifford Mayfair and Alyssa Jirrels is signed on to play the revenge-seeking Moira Mayfair.

Mayfair Witches Season 2 Release Window Confirmed
Mayfair Witches season 2 is scheduled for early 2025 release, as announced at San Diego Comic-Con.
The show is based on Anne Rice's book series; filming for season 2 of the Immortal Universe series has wrapped.
Since the show has gone in a different direction from the novels, it's unclear what will happen. However, the inclusion of the Talamasca could help strengthen its ties to other Immortal Universe series.
A new update for Mayfair Witches season 2 has revealed its release window and new footage at San Diego Comic-Con as filming on the Immortal Universe series wraps. Based on Anne Rice's book series, the premise of the show involves neurosurgeon Dr. Rowan Fielding (Alexandra Daddario) learning of her connection to the Mayfair family, a coven of witches haunted by a dark spirit known as Lasher. Details about Mayfair Witches season 2 have been sparse so far, other than the story following the events of season 1 and the episodes being released at some point in 2025.
Screen Rant was in attendance at the Immortal Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where it was revealed Mayfair Witches season 2 will be arriving in early 2025 now that filming has wrapped. New footage of season 2 was also shown, which can also be seen below:
The trailer sees Daddario's Rowan in a lavish-looking manor, seeing other characters while also looking up at the rain. Her voiceover indicates she may have a vengeful future ahead, now that she's taking care of the baby reincarnation of Lasher. Check out some of what she said in the clip below:
I came here like something out of a fairy tale to meet my long lost family and I found myself in this other world like through the liking glass. Turns out I’m a different person than I thought I was. You have no idea what I’m planning… It has to stop. I’m taking care of it. Of him.

Mayfair Witches Season 2 Is Going In An Unpredictable Direction
Season 1 Didn't Fully Follow Anne Rice's Book Series
Mayfair Witches season 1 ended with Rowan giving birth to a baby indicated to be a reincarnated version of Lasher, the spirit who's haunted the Mayfair family for generations. Despite pleading from Ciprien to give the baby to him, she refuses, deciding to forge her own path beyond that of her family and the Talamasca's whims. She also turns Cortland to stone for assaulting Deirdre when she was younger, setting her on a potential path for revenge once season 2 arrives.
As of writing, it's unclear how Mayfair Witches season 2's place in the Immortal Universe will shape up, especially because the series has veered so far from the direction of Rice's original novels. While the scenarios showcased so far have been inspired by the books, the amount of original storytelling going on means it's impossible to fully predict what will happen moving forward. However, since the Talamasca and Mayfair families have their own agendas, Rowan is likely to be caught in the middle again as she tries to protect her new child.
One potential route for the show is becoming tied into AMC's upcoming Talamasca series, since the organization was introduced in the supernatural drama. Depending on how things play out between them and Rowan in Mayfair Witches, season 2 could pass the baton to the next show, helping to strengthen ties between the Immortal Universe's entries. But, with very little known about the season so far, it appears the show's mysteries will need to wait just a bit longer before they're fully revealed.

Collider's Perri Nemiroff chats with the cast of Mayfair Witches at San Diego Comic-Con in celebration of Season 2.
Alexandra Daddario, Tongayi Chirisa and Harry Hamlin tease how the game has changed for their characters since Season 1, while Ben Feldman and Alyssa Jirrels discuss joining the ensemble in Season 2.
Mayfair Witches Season 2 is coming to AMC and AMC+ in 2025.
After a massive piece of wall art featuring Alexandra Daddario as Rowan was spotted in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter providing a first look at Mayfair Witches Season 2, more news about the spell-binding series was shared at the San Diego Comic-Con 2024. During the Immortal Universe panel that took place on Saturday, not only was the AMC original's release window revealed, but a teaser trailer also came out.
Based on Anne Rice's book series, Mayfair Witches follows Dr. Rowan Fielding (Daddario), a brilliant surgeon who learns that she comes from a witch lineage that has been plagued by an evil spirit called Lasher (played by Jack Huston). Although it was already confirmed that the project had been renewed for Season 2 back in 2023, the announcement at Comic-Con did give fans an estimated time frame as to when it will be out. Unfortunately, Daddario's return as the now all-mighty Rowan will have to wait until early 2025.
If you're looking for something to hold you over until then, we've got you covered! During an interview with Collider's own Perri Nemiroff, Daddario and her co-stars had the chance to spill on what's in store for their characters in the upcoming batch of episodes. In a conversation with Daddario, Tongayi Chirisa, Harry Hamlin, and Season 2 newcomers, Ben Feldman and Alyssa Jirrels, the ensemble shared information about the strange new world that Rowan will embrace, the protagonist's struggle to maintain power, new characters joining in (including Ted Levine as Julien Mayfair), and what audiences can expect from Ciprien and Cortland's story arcs this time around.

'Mayfair Witches' Season 2 Brings New Characters and New Challenges
PERRI NEMIROFF: My first question is for our three returnees. Is there any single scene from Season 1 that you found yourself holding especially tight to and influencing your performance most while making Season 2?
ALEXANDRA DADDARIO: A lot of stuff, but especially with Lasher, Jack Huston. I really felt that those are really important carrying into Season 2 and developing our relationship. That's a very important relationship for the show.
HARRY HAMLIN: For me, it was my final scene in Season 1, working with Alex and a very tiny little baby, having to corral the child, and then be turned into stone. That, for me, was a big moment. I got stoned.
ALYSSA JIRRELS: I just want to hear you say “corral the child” again.
TONGAYI CHIRISA: I can't say what it was because it's obviously integral to the plot, but it was in Ireland, we were filming on a bridge. And that was really special just because of the interaction I had with some of the cast members on that.
The cast of Mayfair Witches smiling during an interview at SDCCImage via Comic-Con
Here's something you might be able to tease a little. When we get a second season of a show, of course, we want more of what we already saw and love, but we want it to have a fresh feel, too. Is there anything about Season 2 that might have a tonal shift or something to give it its own identity?
DADDARIO: We got some new, great cast, and I think we also get to dive deeper into the magic and into the craziness and into the strange world. Now that it's been established, Rowan is in this strange world, and she's fully in it, so we get to really embrace some of the insanity.
HAMLIN: And the world is really strange.
JIRRELS: It sure is, man.
BEN FELDMAN: It's not not strange.

Ben and Alyssa, I’ve got a big two-part question about joining the ensemble. When you first signed on for these roles, what single aspect of your character were you most looking forward to playing, and then, can you tell me something you discovered about them along the way that was a pleasant surprise?
FELDMAN: What I liked is that this is a very complicated show, based on very complicated IP and tremendous amounts of literature and dynamics and strange things that go on in the show. So much happened in Season 1. What I liked is that I didn't have to know any of that because I'm just a guy off the street. I could sort of be a tourist on this show and watch them do all the crazy, exciting stuff and be as confused by it on camera as I was off. I'm joking, but also genuinely, that was absolutely the coolest part.
JIRRELS: I don't know how to top that. That was such a good answer.
FELDMAN: Thank you, buddy.
JIRRELS: I liked that she seemed fun and she seemed snappy. I read the book, and I thought the character of Moira was very, very weird and there were some fun little aspects there. Honestly, I liked Alex Daddario. That was a huge part of why I took the show.
FELDMAN: See, for me, I was on the fence. I was like, "Are they married to her for the second season?" [Laughs]
JIRRELS: Then I discovered so much about the character that I can't reveal and so much about these people's lives that they told me. I heard a lot of stories, and I got a lot of advice, and it's been a great experience.
HAMLIN: Alyssa is amazing. Ben... well, you're amazing, too. [Laughs] No, they're really extraordinary additions. Both of these guys are amazing additions to the cast. The camera loves Ben but loves you, [Alyssa], more.
FELDMAN: I buy that.
JIRRELS: That’s so sweet, Harry. Thank you.

'Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches' Gets Spellbinding Season 2 Trailer at SDCC
See what's in store for the the sophomore season of the Anne Rice series coming in 2025.
I'll lean into the cast a little now. Can you each tell me about a specific member of the ensemble who was just the scene partner you needed while making Season 2? A time when someone gave you something that helped bring the best out of you as an actor?
DADDARIO: It was not me. [Laughs]
FELDMAN: I will say Alex is a great scene partner. I will also say that I did not get to work with pretty much anybody else on the show, so I really cannot speak to the rest of these people. They might be disasters for all I know. But Alex is really a great scene partner who can be tremendously sick or emotional or whatever it is, and then the camera turns on, and she's 1000% in the scene, which is something I am incapable of doing. I could not be morning sick and then have lights and a camera on me and be able to do it without a trace of what was there before.
DADDARIO: That's very kind of you. I’m so lucky everyone is so supportive and so talented and everyone comes knowing their stuff better than I do. They're really just a supportive, wonderful group of people. I got lucky in that way every day, even if I was having a horrible day. We got into the scene, and everyone was like, “Let's just do what we need to do." Everyone was so awesome and funny.
JIRRELS: It was a funny set.
DADDARIO: Which we needed because the show is so intense.
JIRRELS: It was funny!
DADDARIO: We needed to laugh sometimes, so I appreciate that.

CHIRISA: Listen. I hardly got to work with these guys.
JIRRELS: What did you do at the beginning of Season 2?
CHIRISA: Don't worry about it. Don’t worry about it.
JIRRELS: There was a moment—I don't even remember what it was, but weren't you supposed to ad-lib something silently? It was a really challenging moment.
CHIRISA: It was a challenging scene.
JIRRELS: He was supposed to come up to me and we would have a grave conversation, and at one point, he came up to me and he was like, “You good?” But he didn't realize that he was doing it, and then I was like, “No," and then we just died throughout the scene. That was funny. You had to be there, I think.
FELDMAN: Great story!
DADDARIO: [Laughs] Sounds hilarious.
JIRRELS: We had a great time. Tongayi doesn’t remember at all.
Rowan Will Struggle With the Corruption of Power in Season 2
Alexandra Daddario as Rowan in Anne Rice's Mayfair WitchesImage via AMC
I'll jump into some specifics now. Alex, this is a really big question. Rowan starts the show knowing absolutely nothing. By the end of Season 2, she kind of knows everything. How does knowing everything impact how she carries herself in Season 2?
DADDARIO: Now she has this power, and she has power as a human and power as a witch. She's part of this very wealthy family and she has all this incredible power, and it's how we deal with power if we have it? We like to think that we would all do the right thing and be good, but does power corrupt? What does it do to someone like Rowan? That was really interesting to explore because Rowan does not always make the best choices.
That's what makes her an interesting, complex character. If she made the best choices, I wouldn't be interested in watching the show!
Tongayi, I feel like the relationship between your characters was a really great beating heart for Season 1. Obviously, that's been severed, a lightning bolt in between them this time around. How does that impact how he operates and carries himself in the second season?
CHIRISA: Great question. I think that's the journey that he has to discover now because it's the first time we find Ciprien making decisions outside of the Talamasca. For the first time, he's trying to figure out who he is in the midst of all of this because he's an outsider, and that's how he feels right now. Either you roll with the punches and fight your way to the top or just stay outside and be a nobody. That's his journey that he's going to discover.
This might be a dangerous question, but now I'm thinking about it. Rowan has fully embraced her power, but it feels like he's still holding back. Do you think there is going to be a point in the future when he fully embraces it and takes the gloves off?
CHIRISA: That's obviously the long arc. I would love to see what happens if he does finally embrace because he's seen it through Rowan's character. Is he afraid? If he is, why? How much of it is he capable of doing? How far do his powers go? So, absolutely, I think that's something to explore in the future.
Harry Hamlin Hints Teases the Extraordinary Dynamic Between Him & Ted Levine
The cast of Mayfair Witches discuss during an interview at SDCCImage via Comic-Con
Harry, I feel like the first thing I have to ask is, he's not going to be stone for much longer, right?
HAMLIN: No, as much as he might have liked that.
DADDARIO: AMC would never pay for that.
HAMLIN: No, I find my way out and then a lot of very, very weird things happen to Cortland. My father is a new cast member, Ted Levine, who was Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs and is an extraordinary actor. So many amazing things happen between him and me, and our dynamic is extraordinary. Watch out because it's crazy!
Assuming he gets unfrozen and is fully cured, how is that going to impact how he operates going forward?
HAMLIN: Cortland, well, he's gonna be the angel that he's always been. Everybody says that Cortland is a bad guy, but I think he's kind of an angel at heart, right?
DADDARIO: You have to watch the show to find out how evil Cortland really is.
HAMLIN: Evil? What are you talking about?
DADDARIO: How much Rowan hates him... You'l find out.
I'm going to end with a big group question. For each of you, just to tease what's to come, which single episode of Season 2 are you most excited for fans to see and why?
JIRRELS: I like Episode 3 because in ADR it looks like my acting is the best of all of them that I've seen so far. [Laughs] I'm excited about that.
DADDARIO: Your acting is great all around.
HAMLIN: I'm a big fan of the last show, Episode 8. That is killer.
CHIRISA: Yeah, I'd have to concur with that one there.
I lie. One more question! But, Ben, I want you to ask it. Anything you want.
FELDMAN: Guys, who did the pranks on set? Who was the prankster?
DADDARIO: Harry Hamlin.
JIRRELS: Harry Hamlin brought a far machine and made Ted Levine think that he was farting during scenes.
HAMLIN: That's a cat outta the bag that needed to stay in the bag. [Laughs]
Mayfair Witches Season 2 is scheduled for early 2025. Season 1 is available to stream on AMC+ in the US.

A super rich tech dude, a remote island, mysterious memory loss… what could possibly go wrong/be going on..?

The super rich, a remote island, mysterious memory loss… what could possibly go wrong/be going on?
This first trailer for Blink Twice, from Zoë Kravitz with her feature debut – co-written with E.T. Feigenbaum – feels like one of those clearly unraveling narratives that is set to play on the nature of the reality in some form and the teaser here from Amazon MGM Studios and Warner Bros is worth checking out.
In the film, tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) meets cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) at his fundraising gala and it seems like she feels a connection. After being invited to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island, things are initially great with wild nights and sun-soaked days, but after strange things begin to occur, Frida isn’t so sure about what is – and what isn’t – actually going on.
Firstly, I love that it’s Kravitz’s debut feature with such a fine cast – and it’s also great to see Tatum in this rather creepy setup, with a billionaire probably inspired by you know who. Ackie is always worth watching, and there’s a killer co-starring cast that includes Christian Slater, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Kyle MacLachlan, Haley Joel Osment, Geena Davis, and Alia Shawkat.
It hits cinemas on 21st August in the US, and 23rd August in the UK, and I wonder if a digital release will around a similar time – we shall see, watch the trailer now:
Blink Twice will be released in the UK by Warner Bros. Pictures on 23rd August
The trailer for Zoe Kravitz directorial debut thriller Blink Twice has hit the internet.
Written by Kravitz and E.T. Feigenbaum, the film stars (Channing Tatum), Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan and Geena Davis. Producers are Bruce Cohen, Tiffany Persons, Garret Levitz and Kravitz.
Tech billionaire Slater King (Tatum) meets cocktail waitress Frida (Ackie) at his fundraising gala, and sparks fly. He invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.
The film is produced by Kravitz, Levitz, Tiffany Persons, and Bruce Cohen, with Stacy Perskie, and Jordan Harkins serving as executive producers. The movie was made in conjunction with Free Association, this is important, and Bold Choices.
Watch on Deadline
Blink Twice is slated to get a global theatrical release from Amazon/MGM Studios and will hit theaters August 23.

Amazon MGM has been off to a strong start with theatrical releases in 2024, with its breakout hit “The Beekeeper” staring Jason Statham grossing just over $150 million worldwide. Upcoming releases from the studio include Zendaya’s sports romance drama “Challengers” and the Aubrey Plaza-led comedy “My Old Ass,” which was produced by Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment.
Last year saw two big releases from Amazon MGM. “Saltburn,” staring Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi, went viral with its stunning visuals and stomach-twisting scenes. Cord Jefferson’s “American Fiction,” about a author frustrated with Black stereotypes depicted by his colleagues, received both commercial and critical acclaim.

"You made promises you need to keep." Gravitas Ventures has revealed an official trailer for It's A Good Day to Die, a mafia thriller meets romantic drama from filmmaker John Chua. This peculiar French crime thriller is set for a release later in August, though it hasn't played at any festivals or shown anywhere else. A fugitive gangster falling for a beguiling go-go dancer triggers a pulse-pounding spiral of unexpected twists and betrayals. The description states: "He realizes his needs conflict with his wants and decides to change. She struggles to determine if she's ready to accept that change herself." Starring Julie Dray as Maria, with Daniel Lundh as David, plus Vassilis Koukalani, Jeanne Bournaud, Ana Adams, and Madeleine Pougatch. So many split screen shots in the trailer! Too many! With tons of twists and turns tossed in, too.
Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for John Chua's It's A Good Day to Die, direct from YouTube:

"You'll see him if you look..." IFC Films has revealed the official 10th Anniversary re-release trailer for the modern horror classic The Babadook, by Australian filmmaker Jennifer Kent.

IFC Films, in partnership with Iconic Events Releasing will bring the Aussie horror film back to theaters featuring an exclusive Q&A with the writer & director Jennifer Kent. A single mother and her young child fall into a deep well of paranoia when an eerie children's book titled "Mister Babadook" manifests in their home.

First Look Teaser for Soderbergh's Ghost in a House Film 'Presence'
By Alex Billington
Presence Trailer
"The new film from Soderbergh..." Neon has unveiled a first look teaser trailer for Steven Soderbergh's new ghost story film Presence. We've been waiting for a release date for this one ever since Sundance earlier this year! It premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and is one of the best horror films from this fest, a fascinating shot-in-one-location thriller about a family that moves into a very nice house. Neon has now confirmed that the film will open in limited theaters in January 2025 early next year. A family moves into a suburban house and becomes convinced they’re not alone. The rest of the story must not be spoiled - wait until you watch. Presence stars Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, Julia Fox, Eddy Maday, and West Mulholland. It's a very slick film with a smooth camera following a ghost that drifts around this house with a not-that-scary but also very-scary (once it gets going) supernatural story that involves the two kids. Barely any footage in this teaser - keep an eye out for more. This is one film all cinephiles need to see.

Intense Red Band Trailer for 'Out Come the Wolves' Survival Thriller
By Alex Billington
Out Come the Wolves Trailer
"There haven't been wolves in this area for years!" IFC Films + Shudder have unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Out Come the Wolves, the latest horror from filmmaker Adam MacDonald (of Backcountry and Pyewacket). This intense Canadian survival thriller set in the backwoods is about a woman who must fight two kinds of wolves - animals living in nature, and jealous human males. 🐺 Watch out. At a remote cabin deep in the wilderness, a weekend of hunting with three people turns to mayhem and a fight for survival when a pack of wolves suddenly attack a man, his best friend, and her fiance. "Sophie is forced to rely on her hunting prowess to face the deadly predators and save the one closest to her heart." Of course. Starring Missy Peregrym as Sophie, Joris Jarsky and Damon Runyan. I thought we'd moved on from using wolves as the villains in survival movies, but I guess they're a metaphor this time. Just makes me want to (re)watch that Liam Neeson survival movie The Grey instead, in which he also fights off wolves.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Trailer
"You're a figment of my imagination!" Warner Bros has launched a funky 60-scond trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to announce that advance tickets are now on sale. This highly anticipated sequel will premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival on Opening Night (at the end of August), before hitting theaters right after. Beetlejuice 2 continues the story with the very same family. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia Deetz's life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the peculiar model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened (once again). Michael Keaton returns as the miscreant Betelgeuse + Winona Ryder stars again as Lydia, joined by an exuberant full cast featuring Jenna Ortega as Astrid, Catherine O'Hara, Monica Bellucci, Justin Theroux, Arthur Conti, Burn Gorman, and Filipe Cates; plus Willem Dafoe as a ghost detective who, in his life, was a B movie action star. This is such a kooky trailer, starting out with Beetlejuice singing the 80s classic "Right Here Waiting" then ending with all manner of bonkers afterlife shenanigans. Burton goin' wild again! Should be a fun one.

Mystery Horror Thriller 'Winter Island' Trailer Starring Elijah Carnazzo
By Alex Billington
Winter Island trailer
"I want to find my sister... not rid the world of evil." 4Digital Media has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror thriller film titled Winter Island, the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Tony Doupé. This premiered at a few horror festivals already earlier this year, and it'll be out to watch on VOD in the US in Spetember just before October's horror season. When a young girl is found dead on a small, wooded island, her teenage brother's postmortem visions point to an evil presence within their own family. He soon comes across eerie, potentially supernatural phenomena and begins to suspect the worst. The horror stars Elijah Carnazzo as Galen, Jason Adkins, Ashlyn Harlos, Katie Prentiss. Early reviews describe the film as "a classic ghost story in the tradition of some of the best titles the subgenre has to offer." The trailer pretty clearly hints at the religious undertones within this story, which are no doubt connected to the girl's death.

"Don't let them bite you!" Screambox has revealed the amusing official trailer for a Canadian horror comedy movie called We Are Zombies, arriving to watch this month streaming on the horror channel Screambox TV. The makers of Turbo Kid and Summer of 84 offer a fresh take on the undead – it's the latest from the filmmaker group called RKSS, short for "Roadkill Superstars". What do we do with all the undead strolling around? In a city infested with the living-impaired – also known as non-cannibal zombies – 3 slackers after easy money must fight small-time crooks and an evil mega-corporation to save their kidnapped grandma. Based on the comic book series "The Zombies That Ate the World," this premiered at numerous festivals last year. Set in a post-zombie apocalypse where the undead are just part of everyday life, the film follows three slackers working as zombie hunters. The indie horror stars Alexandre Nachi, Derek Johns, and Megan Peta Hill. This looks like a bloody blast! Hopefully as disgusting and as hilarious as it seems in this trailer.

"Maybe if I had your heart, he would love me the way he loves you." XYZ Films has revealed the trailer for a sci-fi horror film titled Subservience, the newest collaboration between director S.K. Dale and actress Megan Fox following Till Death before this. Set to debut direct-to-VOD starting in September coming up this fall.

Fox stars as Alice, a lifelike artificially intelligent android, who has the ability to take care of any family and home. It suddenly becomes self-aware and wants everything her new family has to offer, starting with the affection of her owner – and she'll kill to get it. The cast includes Michele Morrone, Madeline Zima, Atanas Srebrev, Andrew Whipp, Matilda Firth, and Kate Nichols.

For centuries and across cultures, parents have warned children of the legendary "Bagman", who snatches innocent children and stuffs them into his vile, rotting bag—never to be seen again. When the Bagman comes for his family this time, will he be able to get rid of him? From director Colm McCarthy, this horror movie stars Sam Claflin and Antonia Thomas, with William Hope, Steven Cree, Frankie Corio, Adelle Leonce, and Henry Pettigrew.

Trailer #2 for 'Speak No Evil' Remake Starring a Scary James McAvoy
By Alex Billington
Speak No Evil Trailer #2
"I've always wanted a family like yours." "Something's not right with him..." Universal & Blumhouse have debuted a second official trailer for the disquieting horror remake Speak No Evil, a Hollywood take on the Danish horror film Speak No Evil from 2022. Opening in theaters in September just before the Halloween season. This takes the same disturbing plot and spins in a bit, though it does stick fairly closely to the other film. Two families meet while on holiday, and one invites the other to their country estate. After they arrive at an idyllic English country house, it morphs from a dream vacation into a psychological nightmare when Paddy takes over. This new Speak No Evil movie stars Mackenzie Davis & Scoot McNairy as American couple Louise & Ben Dalton, who, along with their 11-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler), accept a weekend holiday invitation of Paddy (James McAvoy), and his wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi), and their furtive, mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough). This trailer gives away tons of the story, though it's more about the terror of being with this kind of madman, than it is discovering that he is a madman. Take a look.

We also posted a teaser trailer late last year for this one, which is getting a new trailer + poster for San Diego Comic-Con. In the third film, Art the Clown will unleash chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve. 🎄 They filmed it in "anamorphic widescreen, so I want it to feel more like an old-school John Carpenter movie. It's going to still have that epic feel of part two, but now have the tone of part one with Christmas. It's going to be a completely different beast... It's going to feel different, but it's still going to have everything you love in it." Starring Jason Patric, Daniel Roebuck, Lauren LaVera, Bryce Johnson, Bradley Stryker, Chris Jericho, and David Howard Thornton back as Art the Clown. Not much new footage, but it is extremely bloody and gross. As expected.

Here's the official synopsis:
"'Star Trek: Section 31,' a Paramount+ Original Movie, stars Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou who joins a secret division of Starfleet. Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past."

In keeping with the classified super spy theme, this edgy SDCC offering's pale-yellow title card reads, "This Preview Contains Misfit Content As Determined By Starfleet Common Media Division: Colorful Metaphors, Disintegration, Deltan Fraternizing, Reference To Unauthorized The Jumps."
Here in this two-minute taste matched musically with Beyoncé's "Formation," we get our initial peek at a series of flashbacks revealing the atrocities committed by a young Phillipa Georgiou (Miku Martineau) as she rose through the ranks of the Mirror Universe's Terran Empire to be feared and hailed as Emperor.
From the tone and style of this initial teaser, the "Discovery" spinoff endeavor known as "Section 31" has a rollicking, raw sensibility that takes fans into the shadowy world of "Star Trek" secret agents. Yeoh seems to be relishing her role as the crafty despot with a violent history now stuck in the Prime Universe and recruited into the fold of this covert intelligence team operating with very few rules.
The Star Trek: Section 31 teaser trailer at Comic-Con 2024 confirms a 2025 release date, and spotlights Philippa Georgiou-led Starfleet spy team.
Michelle Yeoh headlines as Philippa Georgiou in a Paramount+ Star Trek movie set in the "lost era" between Star Trek VI and The Next Generation.
The teaser reveals an intriguing cast of characters, including Omari Hardwick, Rob Kazinsky, Humberly González, and Kacey Rohl as Captain Rachel Garrett.
The teaser trailer for Star Trek: Section 31 is screened at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, confirming a 2025 release date and providing the first proper look at the Starfleet spy team put together by Michelle Yeoh's Philippa Georgiou. Star Trek's first streaming-exclusive movie puts Starfleet's controversial covert operatives front and center, as Philippa Georgiou rejoins Section 31 for the first time since Star Trek: Discovery season 2. Originally starting life as a Discovery spinoff series, the Section 31 movie will depict Georgiou atoning for her sins while protecting the galaxy.
Star Trek: Section 31 is set in the "lost era", the period between the end of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Star Trek: Section 31's teaser trailer provides the first look at the characters played by Omari Hardwick, Rob Kazinsky, Humberly González, Kacey Rohl, Sven Ruygrok, and Sam Richardson. While their Section 31 character names aren't revealed in the teaser, it is known that Kacey Rohl will be playing a younger version of Captain Rachel Garrett (Tricia O'Neill) from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It appears that Garrett is a Starfleet liaison, telling Georgiou that she's there to make sure Section 31 doesn't "kill anyone".

There are also interesting tidbits from the Section 31 trailer that suggest who the other cast members may be playing. Omari Hardwick is clearly playing Philippa Georgiou's Section 31 recruiter or handler in the Star Trek movie, given his damning summary of her crimes. Sven Ruygrok's character is likely a Vulcan, as the Federation and the Romulans are on non-speaking terms at this point in the Star Trek timeline. Rob Kazinsky's bulky exoskeleton cuts an imposing figure, while it looks like Humberly González is playing a Deltan from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Star Trek: Section 31 is set in the years before Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) was built, which implies Sam Richardson could be the beneficiary of Soong's pre-Data cybernetics.
Most interesting of all, is the first look at Sam Richardson in Star Trek: Section 31. One shot of Richardson's character, reveals that he has what looks like the yellow eyes of a Soong android. Star Trek: Section 31 is set in the years before Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) was built, which implies Sam Richardson could be the beneficiary of Soong's pre-Data cybernetics. Viewers will see whether Richardson's character is related to Data, and how Philippa Georgiou's disparate Starfleet spy team comes together when Star Trek: Section 31 premieres on Paramount+ in 2025.

Star Trek: Section 31 follows Phillippa Georgiou's journey from Empress to Starfleet operative in a shadowy intelligence agency.
Michelle Yeoh stars in the Paramount+ original movie, facing her character's past sins and serving the Federation.
The teaser offers a glimpse into Georgiou's mission with Section 31, featuring a motley crew and plenty of mayhem.
The shadowy world of interplanetary espionage was brought into the light at today's San Diego Comic-Con Star Trek panel, as Michelle Yeoh interrupted the festivities with a special video message - and the first teaser for the upcoming Paramount+ streaming-original movie Star Trek: Section 31. It will premiere on Paramount+ in early 2025.
Set to Beyoncé's "Formation," the teaser opens with a flashback to a young Philippa Georgiou (played by Kate's Miku Martineau) in the Mirror Universe, as we see how her family was killed, resulting in her being crowned Empress of the Terran Empire. We then cut to her present - stranded in the prime Star Trek universe, and serving as an operative of the shadowy Federation intelligence agency Section 31. We get glimpses of her motley crew of fellow operatives (including Starfleet representative Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl), who deems Georgiou a "bad bitch"), and see them on a mission that quickly devolves into mayhem. Rohl was in attendance on the panel, as were fellow Section 31 stars Omari Hardwick and Sam Richardson, executive producer Alex Kurtzman, and director Olatunde Osunsanmi.
What Is 'Star Trek: Section 31' About?
Introduced in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Section 31 is a secretive intelligence agency determined to protect the Federation and Starfleet by any means necessary, even if those means are unethical or illegal. The film will center around Georgiou (Yeoh), onetime ruler of the twisted Mirror Universe's despotic Terran Empire; she was taken in by the crew of the USS Discovery, and eventually became a Section 31 operative. Among her crew is Rohl's Rachel Garrett, who will later become the captain of the USS Enterprise-C and fall in the service of the Federation; her sole appearance to date was in the classic Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Yesterday's Enterprise". It will also star Sven Ruygrok, Rob Kazinsky, Humberly Gonzalez, James Hiroyuki Liao, Joe Pingue, and Augusto Bitter. The movie wrapped production in Toronto earlier this year.
Written by Craig Sweeny and directed by Osunsanmi, Star Trek: Section 31 is executive produced by Kurtzman, Sweeny, Aaron Baiers, Osunsanmi, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth, and Yeoh. It is the first-ever streaming-original Star Trek movie.
Star Trek: Section 31 will premiere on Paramount+ in early 2025. Stay tuned to Collider for all of our San Diego Comic-Con news this weekend, and watch the new teaser for Section 31 above.
Star Trek Section 31 Teaser Poster
Star Trek: Section 31
In Star Trek: Section 31, Emperor Philippa Georgiou, joins a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets and faces the sins of her past.
She’s a tyrant who “murdered her own people by the millions.” And when someone calls her a “bad bitch,” she just smiles and enjoys the attention.
That’s Emperor Philippa Georgiou, played by Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh, in the trailer for Star Trek: Section 31 coming in early 2025. The original movie features Yeoh reprising her role as Philippa Georgiou, a character she first played in Star Trek: Discovery‘s first season.

Edie Falco’s Wanda is tangled up in all of her family’s issues in Us Weekly’s exclusive look at the I’ll Be Right There trailer.
In the first look at the comedy, Wanda (Falco) fills pal Marshall (Michael Rapaport) in on her unconventional family’s latest escapades, including her mom’s health diagnosis, as she embarks on a search for a new life chapter of her own.
“Since she thought she had lung cancer, somehow leukemia is the best news in the world,” Wanda reveals, as her mom, Grace (Jeannie Berlin), announces her diagnosis to her old lady friends on the street.
Wanda proceeds to share that her son, Mark (Charlie Tahan), got “thrown out of therapy” for lying. Her daughter, Sarah (Kayli Carter), has her own problems as her pregnancy and wedding grow closer.

“[I]m] so pregnant that when I toss the bouquet the baby might poke an arm out and try and catch it,” Sarah says while trying on her bridal gown.
When it comes to her own love life, Wanda plays coy as a scene of her getting caught in bed with Sophie (Sepideh Moafi) flashes across the screen.

“You always been a lesbian?” Henry (Bradley Whitford) asks Wanda while carrying a baby on his chest. Wanda makes light of the development, saying, “It’s a recent thing.”
A very pregnant Sarah jokes, “I used to think that I was the most interesting person in this family, but it turns out I’m a distant third” as her mom’s life continues to heat up.
Marshall, meanwhile, confesses that he is “crazy” about Wanda, claiming that her kids “take advantage” of her, but as soon as they need her she “just runs off.”

Despite her kids’ faults, Wanda makes it clear that she doesn’t like the idea of moving on from them. “They give me everything I need,” she tells pal Albert (Michael Beach), confessing her connection to her family makes her “feel guilty.”
“Maybe you feel guilty because you know what you want and most people don’t,” Albert muses.

Nicole Dorsey's upcoming film Balestra promises a psychological thriller exploring the inner fears and hopes of its subject, in the works since 2020.
The filming of Balestra, a sports drama following fencing champion Joanna, has wrapped with some cast changes and a gripping storyline.
The movie features a talented cast including Cush Jumbo, Manny Jacinto, James Badge Dale, and Christin Park in lead roles.
Balestra is an upcoming film from director Nicole Dorsey and though news has been sporadic, the story, some of the cast, and the shooting schedule have all been announced. Dorsey is an up-and-coming Canadian film director who has previously directed several shorts, followed by her first feature-length movie, Black Conflux in 2019, a drama about a young teen's quest for independence leading her into the orbit of a strange and possibly violent older man. This was then followed by Dorsey directing three episodes of the Canadian thriller series, Something Undone.
Like Dorsey's previous film, Balestra promises to be a philosophical and psychological thriller that explores the inner fears and hopes of its subject. The film has been a long time coming, originally announced as far back as 2020. Since then, there have been some notable changes regarding casting, but according to the director, the film is still a go, despite production primarily occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic. News about Balestra has been slow to arrive, but there have been notable announcements regarding the cast and story.

The latest news about Balestra can be found on Nicole Dorsey's website, Nicole Dorsey, from a blog post dated April 13, 2022. In the post, Dorsey announces that filming has wrapped on Balestra and some information regarding the story and cast is given. Dorsey also has a quote,
"Balestra is a thriller. A psychological nightmare; a dream in which you’re trying to run but your legs won’t budge. It’s about greatness — its perceived value and the thought that without it, you have nothing, you are nothing."

Balestra was originally confirmed in June 2020 (via Deadline), with Thor and Westworld star Tessa Thompson and Marwan Kenzari of Aladdin set to star, and Thompson also serving as an executive producer. Those acting choices have since changed. In April 2022, Dorsey announced that filming had wrapped on the movie, though a release date is still forthcoming.
Balestra Film Cast
While Thompson and Kenzari were originally set to appear in Balestra, they left the project sometime in the interim. At the moment, only four members of the cast have been officially unveiled. Cush Jumbo (Torchwood, The Good Wife, The Good Fight) stars as Joanna, a fencer trying to medal at the Olympics; Manny Jacinto (Nine Perfect Strangers, Top Gun: Maverick) plays Elliot, a mysterious stranger; James Badge Dale (Iron Man 3, The Pacific) appears as Raph, Joanna's husband and coach; and Christin Park (Charmed) plays Audie, Joanna's rival.

Balestra Film Story Details
Cush Jumbo as Lucca Quinn looking serious in The Good Fight.
Balestra is a psychological sports drama that follows Joanna, a single-minded fencing champion who has quested to be the best in the world her whole life. With the Paris Olympics approaching, Joanna has one last shot to earn the gold before she ages out of the competition. Raph, a man who is coach first and husband second, pressures Joanna to undergo the experimental Halo training device system which will allow her to practice in her sleep.
Halo blurs the line between reality and dreams and when she meets the mysterious Elliot, Joanna's pursuit of the podium and her drive to figure out what's happening to her collide. "Balestra" is a fencing term referring to a jump forward towards one's opponent followed by a lunge with the foil. It's an explosive and offensive move that can throw a fencer off balance, and it's possible Joanna will find herself just as unbalanced as Balestra progresses.
EXCLUSIVE: Filming has begun in Canada on New Regency-backed fencing thriller Balestra, which will be produced as a feature with an alternate version to be released separately as a limited series.
Cush Jumbo (The Good Fight), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place) and James Badge Dale (Iron Man 3) lead cast on the project, which will follow Joanna (Jumbo), who has dedicated her life to becoming the greatest fencer in the world. With the Paris Olympics looming as her last chance to reach the top of the podium, she is pressured by her husband and coach Raph (Dale) to become a test subject for the Halo, a prototype device that lets her extend her training into her sleeping hours. Reality begins to blur when Joanna encounters a stranger named Elliot (Jacinto) and finds herself caught between her exhilarating new dreams and her pursuit of Olympic gold.

Dorsey teams up with Marie Davignon as director of photography, Caitlin Byrnes as production designer, Brooke Wilcox and Sekyiwa Wi-Afedzi as costume designer and Veronique Barbe as editor.
Dorsey, Zaidi and Coleite are all represented by Grandview. Dorsey is also represented by CAA, Zaidi by UTA and Coleite by WME.

Cush Jumbo, Manny Jacinto, and James Badge Dale are about to join the world of fencing. According to an exclusive from Deadline, the three have been cast in the upcoming thriller Balestra.
Balestra is being created as both a film and a limited series. The project will tell the story of Joanna (played by Jumbo), who is a competitive fencer. As the Paris Olympics gets closer, her husband and coach (played by Dale), pressures her to be a test subject for a device that will allow her to continue to train during the time she's supposed to be asleep. She later meets a stranger (played by Jacinto) which leads to her reality beginning to blur.
Jumbo is well known for playing Lucca Quinn in CBS' The Good Wife and its spin-off The Good Fight. Her other previous work includes 2020's The Postcard Killings (directed by Danis Tanovic), 2016's City of Tiny Lights (directed by Pete Travis), and 2015's Remainder (directed by Omer Fast). Jacinto is well known for playing Jason Mendoza in The Good Place (which ran from 2016-2020 on NBC). His other previous work includes this year's I Want You Back (directed by Jason Orley) and the English dub of Belle (directed by Mamoru Hosoda). He will also star in the upcoming film Top Gun: Maverick (directed by Joseph Kosinski). Dale's previous work includes 2020's Safety (directed by Reginald Hudlin), The Empty Man (directed by David Prior), and 2019's The Kitchen (directed by Andrea Berloff). Christin Park will also star as Audrey. The character is Joanna's opponent and teammate on the fencing team.

Nicole Dorsey will direct the project. She previously directed 2019's Black Conflux. "Balestra is a thriller. A psychological nightmare; a dream in which you're trying to run but your legs won't budge," said Dorsey. "It's about greatness - its perceived value and the thought that without it, you have nothing, you are nothing." Dorsey will also be an executive producer. Imran Zaidi wrote the screenplay, which is based on an original idea from Aron Eli Coleite. Zaidi and Coleite will also be executive producers. New Regency, Item 7, and Oddfellows Entertainment will produce the project. Pierre Even, Item 7's Paul-E Audet, and Chris Ferguson will be producers. Oddfellows Entertainment's Jesse Savath will be an executive producer. Jumbo will also be an executive producer. "I am thrilled to be venturing into the intense and world of Balestra with Nicole and the team," said Jumbo. "The combination of high-octane sport and bent lines of reality making it a truly thrilling experience to shoot and I know audiences are going to love it."
No official release date has been announced for Balestra. The project is currently being filmed in Canada.

CITY OF GOD: THE FIGHT RAGES ON Trailer (2024)
© 2024 - HBO Max
"Someone needs to tell this story." HBO has revealed the first official trailer for a streaming series called City of God: The Fight Rages On, a long-awaited legacy sequel to the iconic masterpiece Brazilian film City of God (from 2002). There was already a sort-of-sequel made in 2007 called City of Men, but it had mixed reviews and didn't make much of an impact. This new series follows the very same kid, Rocket (aka Buscapé), and stars Alexandre Rodrigues bringing him back 22 years after starring in the original. The series will follow in the footsteps of the film by Fernando Meirelles and will also be based on Paulo Lins’ book "City of God”. It's set two decades after that of the original, following the current lives of the characters seen in the 2002 film – showing what happened to them. With excerpts used in flashbacks to reconstruct memories and affective recollections. The cast includes: Roberta Rodrigues, Thiago Martins, Sabrina Rosa, Kiko Marques, Edson Oliveira, Andréia Horta, Marcos Palmeira, Eli Ferreira, Luellem de Castro; and debuting talents from communities in Rio de Janeiro such as Cidade de Deus, Vidigal and Mangueira. A City of God sequel was never necessary, but I'll probably watch anyway. Doesn't look that bad.
Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Max's series City of God: The Fight Rages On, from YouTube:
City of God: The Fight Rages On Series
City of God: The Fight Rages On Poster
City of God: The Fight Rages On is an adapted continuation of the literary work of Paulo Lins and will tell the story of its characters taking as a starting point the work of the photographer Rocket (Wilson). The plot unfolds in the early 2000s when the release of a young drug dealer from prison puts Cidade de Deus back into dispute. Local residents find themselves trapped between drug traffickers, militias and public authorities, but the need to escape this cycle makes the community unite to face the oppressor. City of God: The Fight Rages On, also known as Cidade de Deus: A Luta Não Para in Portuguese, is a series created and produced by Andrea Barata Ribeiro and Fernando Meirelles (director of the original City of God). With writing by Sérgio Machado, Renata Di Carmo, Armando Praça, Estevão Ribeiro, Rodrigo Felha and Aly Muritiba. Featuring episodes directed by Aly Muritiba (director of the films Circular, To My Beloved, Rust, Nóis por Nóis, Jesus Kid, Private Desert) and Bruno Costa. It's produced by O2 Films and HBO Originals. Executive produced by Mariano Cesar, Anouk Aaron, Mônica Albuquerque. HBO will debut City of God: The Fight Rages On streaming on Max starting August 25th, 2024 coming soon. Looks good? Want to watch?
July 25 (UPI) -- Max is giving a glimpse of the new show City of God: The Fight Rages On.
The streaming service shared a trailer for the series Thursday featuring Alexandre Rodrigues.

The Fight Rages On is a sequel to the 2000 Brazilian film City of God, based on the Paulo Lins novel. The film follows Rocket (Rodrigues), an aspiring photographer living in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro in the '60s, '70s and '80s.
The sequel picks up 20 years after the film and will follow a battle for control of the drug trade in City of God.
"Residents find themselves trapped between drug traffickers, militias and public authorities, but the need to escape this cycle makes the community unite to face the oppressor," an official synopsis reads.
The cast also includes Roberta Rodrigues, Thiago Martins, Sabrina Rosa, Kiko Marques, Edson Oliveira, Andréia Horta, Marcos Palmeira, Eli Ferreira, Luellem de Castro, Jefferson Brasil, Otávio Linhares, Rafael Lozano, Leandro Daniel and Luiz Bertazzo.
City of God: The Fight Rages On premieres Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. EDT on HBO Latino and will also stream on Max.

© 2024 - Warner Bros Pictures
"You can do anything you want. You're Joker..." Warner Bros has unveiled the second official trailer for the highly anticipated sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, bringing back Joaquin Phoenix as the infamous anti-hero of Gotham City, the Joker. It was also announced today that Joker 2 will be premiering at the 2024 Venice Film Festival this fall, the same place where the first Joker movie debut before winning the coveted Golden Lion top prize at the festival. Will it will again? What are the odds? This all-out sequel is being described as a "musical psychological thriller" set in Gotham City, with many songs being worked into the story featuring Lady Gaga appearing as Joker's new partner Harley Quinn. Joaquin Phoenix returns as Arthur, along with Zazie Beetz. The full cast includes Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, Steve Coogan, Ken Leung, & Harry Lawtey. The first teaser trailer was terrific, with plenty of exciting footage. This trailer is even better! Doesn't give away too much, teasing what looks to be a spectacularly edgy sequel.
Here's the main offiical trailer (+ poster) for Todd Phillips' Joker: Folie à Deux, direct from YouTube:

The screenplay is written by Todd Phillips and Scott Silver. Based on the comic book characters created byBob Kane, Bill Finger, Jerry Robinson and Paul Dini & Bruce Timm (Harley Quinn). Produced by Joseph Garner, Todd Phillips, Emma Tillinger Koskoff. The movie will premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival this fall playing in the Main Competition.

Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Studios are revisiting the Joker universe post its 2019 success.
A new trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux has been released, teasing what is coming up in the DC sequel featuring Joaquin Phoenix once again as the iconic Batman villain. While 2024 has very few upcoming DC movies in store, Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Studios are revisiting the Joker universe following the major 2019 box office and the critical success of Phillips' Joker movie. Featuring Phoenix back in the role of Arthur Fleck, a.k.a. the Clown Prince of Crime, Joker: Folie à Deux will be focusing on his adventures with Harley Quinn, with Lady Gaga joining the Elseworlds-franchise.
As Joker: Folie à Deux will be released this fall in theaters, the marketing campaign is going deeper for the Phoenix and Lady Gaga-starring musical movie. On Monday, July 22, Warner Bros. Pictures launched a countdown Joker: Folie à Deux stream, announcing that the next trailer would be released on Tuesday, July 23. As promised, the new Joker: Folie à Deux trailer has officially been released by Warner Bros. Pictures. Check it out below:

Although Joker: Folie à Deux is set in Todd Phillips' standalone DC Elseworlds universe, it could feature a few cameos by Gotham heroes and villains.
What Joker: Foile Á Deux's New Trailer Reveals About The DC Sequel's Story
One of the big highlights of the new trailer is that it shows how Arthur's trial will be a crucial part of the Joker: Folie à Deux plot. Following rumors that the character would be making his Elseworlds debut in the Joker universe, the new footage also confirms that the iconic Batman villain Harvey Dent will be introduced in this film. With captions turned on for the Joker: Folie à Deux trailer, Harvey is the one listed as the third voice that is talking off-screen while saying, "They believe Arthur Fleck to be some kind of martyr. Well, he's not."
The Joker: Folie à Deux trailer highlights more of Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn as well, with the story exploring how she believes she has found a kindred spirit in Arthur Fleck. As Fleck begins to become a bigger symbol in Gotham City, it is clear that Harley will be instrumental in him finding more of his courage, as citizens begin to fight for him. Based on the latest tidbits learned about her from the trailer, Joker: Folie à Deux is taking a lot of creative liberties with Harley's comic roots.
Time will tell how much more Warner Bros. Pictures will unveil of Joker: Folie à Deux, as there are now only three months left to go before the film's release. While Joker: Folie à Deux will be showcased at the Venice Film Festival, it wouldn't be shocking if there is another trailer released ahead of its October release. But with everything that has been revealed about Joker: Folie à Deux thus far, the DC sequel is looking very promising.

Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga are causing chaos as Joker and Harley Quinn in the latest trailer for Warner Bros. and DC‘s “Joker: Folie à Deux,” the sequel to 2019’s “Joker.” The film is set to release in theaters on Oct. 4, 2024 after world premiering in competition at the Venice Film Festival, where the first movie won the Golden Lion in 2019.
Both a critical and commercial success, the first “Joker” was nominated for 11 Oscars, with star Joaquin Phoenix winning best actor and Hildur Guðnadóttir for original score. It became the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history. The sequel will have Phoenix reprise his role, accompanied by Gaga’s Harley Quinn, as the two embark on sinister adventures. The film will reportedly take place mostly in Arkham Asylum.

Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland and Harry Lawtey comprise the supporting cast of “Joker: Folie à Deux,” with Zazie Beetz returning as Sophie from the original. The sequel is said to be a musical, expanding on Phoenix’s manic dancing from the first movie.
Popular on Variety
Addressing the movie’s musical components, Beetz told Variety: “I think people will be surprised. I don’t think it’s going to be what they expect, around it being musical. We all sort of express musically and dancing in our lives day-to-day. I think it’s going to work really well.”
“Joker: Folie à Deux” will be separate from the other upcoming films from DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran’s slate, like “Superman,” and exist in its own separate world. The same goes for Matt Reeves’ “The Batman: Part II,” which tells its own standalone story. Gaga’s Harley Quinn will exist separately from Margot Robbie’s character, seen in “Birds of Prey” and “The Suicide Squad,” and Kaley Cuoco’s animated character from the Max series.
Todd Phillips returns as director of “Joker: Folie à Deux.” He co-wrote the script with Scott Silver and produced the film with Bradley Cooper.

It was uncertain whether this dark drama would even be granted a sequel, given the slight controversies that surrounded its release (some audiences questioned the moral implications of celebrating violence in such a way.) Though, with a $1 billion return at the box office, it was inevitable.
Major plot details are still under wraps, but a few things have come to light. The film is said to be taking place mostly in Arkham Asylum, and will be... wait for it... a musical.
Yes, you read that right! Though it's unclear to what extent the musical elements will lead the film's narrative, this twist in format has certainly thrown all expectations out of the water.
The title itself, Folie à Deux, is a French phrase which means "delusion or mental illness shared by two people in close association". This suggests that The Joker will be finding a partnership in madness with another character, and given that the film will take place in Arkham Asylum (the setting in which he canonically meets his beloved Dr Harleen Quinzel), we can't help but think that maybe Harley Quinn might be stopping by.
According to reports, the film will have "complicated musical sequences", and will work on a budget of roughly $150 million. Sounds pretty unmissable.
What is the release date for Joker: Folie à Deux?
Five years on from the first film, we can't wait any longer for the sequel.
Now, we don't have to as Joker: Folie à Deux is set to be released in cinemas on 4th October, 2024.

We’ve got our first look at James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown, a musical biopic inspired by the life of Bob Dylan, with Timothée Chalamet suiting up as the iconic singer-songwriter.
Disney/Searchlight dropped the teaser trailer this morning. In the clip narrated by Edward Norton, we see Chalamet for the first time as Dylan. He walks the streets of New York City past his old haunts, including the Chelsea Hotel, before ending up on stage at an intimate gig where he performs “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.” From the trailer, it appears Chalamet is singing live.

Per the film’s official synopsis: Set in the influential New York music scene of the early ’60s, A Complete Unknown follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician Bob Dylan’s meteoric rise as a folk singer to concert halls and the top of the charts – his songs and mystique becoming a worldwide sensation – culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock ‘n’ roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro also stars in the pic written by Mangold and Jay Cocks. Producers include Range’s Fred Berger, The Picture Company’s Alex Heineman, Veritas Entertainment Group’s Peter Jaysen, Bob Bookman, Alan Gasmer, Dylan’s longtime rep Jeff Rosen, Chalamet and Mangold via his Turnpike Films. Michael Bederman, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Andrew Rona are executive producers.

Searchlight will release the pic in US cinemas in December. A release in the UK and Ireland will follow in January.
The highly anticipated trailer for A Complete Unknown has been released, showcasing Timothée Chalamet’s transformation into Bob Dylan. Directed by James Mangold, the biographical drama will hit theaters this December.
A Complete Unknown, written by Mangold and Jay Cocks, looks at the iconic folk singer’s early days in New York City. The film builds up to the pivotal moment at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, where Dylan famously electrified his sound.

The trailer features Chalamet navigating the streets of Manhattan, visiting Dylan’s old haunts like Cafe Wha? and Hotel Chelsea. It also highlights Chalamet’s performance of Dylan’s 1963 protest anthem, “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall.” A romantic subplot emerges, involving Dylan and characters played by Monica Barbaro, as Joan Baez, and Elle Fanning, as Sylvie Russo. Russo appears to be a fictionalized version of Suze Rotolo, Dylan’s then-girlfriend who graced the cover of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.
The cast includes Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, P. J. Byrne as Harold Leventhal, Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie, Dan Fogler as Albert Grossman, and Will Harrison as Bob Neuwirth.
Timothée Chalamet enters multi-year deal with Warner Bros following ‘Dune’ and ‘Wonka’ success
The film, inspired by Elijah Wald’s 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric, was originally titled Going Electric. The new title, A Complete Unknown, is a nod to Dylan’s song “Like a Rolling Stone,” which symbolized a seismic shift in the music world.
Mangold has characterized the film’s Dylan as “a wanderer who comes in from Minnesota with a fresh name and a fresh outlook on life.” Dylan’s arrival in New York is depicted as a catalyst for change in the folk music scene. The real Bob Dylan, now 83, provided input on the script and engaged in multiple discussions with Mangold.

Production began in March in New York and New Jersey, with paparazzi shots of Chalamet quickly circulating online. Produced by Searchlight Pictures, the film boasts an impressive production team, including Fred Berger, Alex Heineman, Peter Jaysen, Bob Bookman, Alan Gasmer, Jeff Rosen, Chalamet, and Mangold.
Off-kilter chocolatiers, desert messiahs, civil war-era heartthrobs, lone-wolf cannibals. Thus far, Timothée Chalamet’s career has been one of thrilling roles—and his latest, Bob Dylan in the James Mangold-directed A Complete Unknown, is no different. Here’s everything we know so far.
Is there a trailer for A Complete Unknown?
Yes! Watch the first teaser below.
What’s the plot of A Complete Unknown?
While the plot is still largely under wraps, we know that the film will follow a 19-year-old Dylan’s first arrival in New York City from Minnesota, as he seeks a career in music and soon skyrockets to worldwide fame. “It’s such an amazing time in American culture and the story of a young 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with, like, two dollars in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years,” Mangold told Collider during a red-carpet interview in April 2023. “First being embraced into the family of folk music in New York, and kind of outrunning them at a certain point as his star rises so beyond belief.”

Is there a trailer for A Complete Unknown?
A trailer is quite far off. Despite A Complete Unknown being in development for nearly five years now—Chalamet’s casting was first announced in 2020, but filming was delayed first due to COVID, and then the SAG-AFTRA strikes—production has only just begun.
Who else is in the cast of A Complete Unknown?
Joining Chalamet will be Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Dylan’s fictional girlfriend, inspired by the musician’s real-life former girlfriend and muse Suze Rotolo. Edward Norton will play Dylan’s fellow folk musician Pete Seeger, Monica Barbaro will play a young Joan Baez and Boyd Holbrook is rumoured to play Johnny Cash.
Is Timothée Chalamet recording his own vocals for A Complete Unknown?
He can act, he can dance and yes, he can sing—Chalamet confirmed in a December 2023 interview that 70% of the soundtrack had already been recorded in a Californian studio with Nick Baxter, the film’s music supervisor. In the same interview, the actor also revealed that Dylan’s manager, Jeff Rosen, sent Chalamet 12 hours of unreleased Bob Dylan music from 1959 to 1964. “This might earn the ire and wrath of a lot of Bob fans, rightfully,” Chalamet pre-warned.
Where’s A Complete Unknown being filmed?
According to local New Jersey news outlets, the film is recreating Woodstock, New York, in various parts of northern New Jersey.
When is A Complete Unknown being released?
The film will hit theaters this December, though an exact date is still to be confirmed.
How should I entertain myself until A Complete Unknown premieres?
Listen to Bob Dylan’s back catalogue, of course—and watch Todd Haynes’s experimental Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There.
Come gather ’round, people, wherever you roam. The trailer for James Mangold‘s “A Complete Unknown” is here, along with the first official footage of Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan.
In theaters this December, the biographical drama, written by Mangold and Jay Cocks, follows the folk music legend’s early years in New York City, leading up to the Earth-shattering moment he strapped on an electric guitar during his 1965 Newport Folk Festival performance.
In the trailer, Chalamet walks the streets of Manhattan, passing Dylan’s favorite spots including Cafe Wha? and Hotel Chelsea. The actor sings a rousing rendition of Dylan’s 1963 protest song “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall.” And a love triangle begins to brew between Dylan and Monica Barbaro’s Joan Baez and Elle Fanning’s Sylvie Russo, who appears to be a fictionalized version of Dylan’s then-girlfriend Suze Rotolo, who appears on the album cover of “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.”

Popular on Variety
Based on Elijah Wald’s 2015 book “Dylan Goes Electric!” and originally titled “Going Electric,” “A Complete Unknown” borrows a phrase from Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” — the plugged-in folk-rock anthem that changed everything.
Mangold has described the Dylan in his movie as “a wanderer who comes in from Minnesota with a fresh name and a fresh outlook on life.” His arrival in New York ignites an “upheaval in the folk community and what they thought was proper folk and illicit folk.” The real-life Dylan, who is 83, gave notes on the script and took multiple meetings with Mangold.
The film began production in March in New York and New Jersey, as paparazzi photos of Chalamet went viral on social media.
From Searchlight Pictures, “A Complete Unknown” is produced by Fred Berger, Alex Heineman, Peter Jaysen, Bob Bookman, Alan Gasmer, Jeff Rosen, Chalamet and Mangold.

A Complete Unknown, Bob Dylan, James Mangold, Timothée Chalamet
A Complete Unknown, the highly anticipated biopic about Bob Dylan’s early years starring Timothée Chalamet, released its first trailer in July 2024, giving fans a glimpse of the long-awaited film.
Directed by Walk the Line’s James Mangold, the movie delves into Dylan's arrival in New York City at 19 and his rise to fame, culminating in his controversial electric set at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
Chalamet's performance has already generated buzz, with the first teaser showcasing the Oscar nominee singing Dylan’s "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," after he’s introduced by Pete Seeger (Edward Norton), a notable mentor and early supporter of the musician.
All About the Bob Dylan Biopic Starring Timothée Chalamet
The film also covers Dylan's relationships with key figures like Joan Baez, portrayed by Monica Barbaro and Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, a character roughly based on Dylan’s girlfriend in the early 1960s, Suze Rotolo. The ensemble cast will portray other real-life icons such as Johnny Cash (Boyd Holbrook) and Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy) who influenced Dylan's early career.
A Complete Unknown does not have an official release date but is set to hit theaters sometime in December 2024. In the meantime, here's everything to know about the cast and the real-life figures they portray.

Chalamet stars as Dylan, capturing the essence of the young musician's early days in N.Y.C.
In April 2023, Mangold confirmed to Collider that Chalamet wouldn’t only act, but also do his own singing for the role — which fans were given a brief preview of in the film’s first trailer. The actor’s vocal coach, Eric Vetro, told PEOPLE in December 2023 that viewers may be “shocked” by Chalamet’s performance in the upcoming biopic.
"You're going to think you're hearing Bob Dylan sing," Vetro said. "Once again, he just has this uncanny ability to not impersonate, but really breathe life into it. He's embodying Bob Dylan and what he was like at that age."
During an interview with MTV in December 2023, Chalamet said that his most listened to artist for that year was most likely Dylan. He added that the singer’s manager, Jeff Rosen, gave him 12 hours of unreleased music from 1959 to 1964 which, he added, “might earn the ire and wrath of a lot of Bob fans, rightfully.”
“I feel like I’m holding onto gold or something,” Chalamet said.

Fanning stars as Sylvie Russo, a character based on the real-life Suze Rotolo, Dylan's girlfriend and muse during the early 1960s.
Rotolo, who died in 2011, is famously known as the girl on the cover of Dylan's album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Their relationship lasted from 1961 to 1964 and had a profound influence on Dylan's songwriting. In an interview with Glamour U.K. in July 2024, Fanning spoke about the depth of Rotolo’s relationship with Dylan.
“She was an incredible woman, reading her memoir was really interesting, and just aspects of their relationship,” Fanning said. “I mean, she really was his first love.”
In an interview with Rolling Stone in July 2024, Mangold expanded on why Rotolo’s character is loosely fictionalized while the others are direct portrayals, noting that, unlike the majority of individuals in Dylan’s early career, Rotolo was “just a real person.”
“Everyone else is up for the gauntlet and has been in that game a long time,” the director said. “And there was just a feeling for Bob of not subjecting her to that.”
He added that while her character is not an exact portrayal of Rotolo, Fanning captures her essence and impact on Dylan’s life in the early 1960s.
“Certainly the character Elle plays is that energy. Someone who comes into his life, who is an artist herself, who is politically active, who ends up moving in with him and being incredibly important to his awakening to some of these issues at play,” Mangold said.

Barbaro takes on the role of Joan Baez, the renowned folk singer and activist who played a significant role in Dylan's early career as she introduced the musician to her audience in the early 1960s.
Baez and Dylan's relationship was both professional and personal, with their romantic ties ultimately coming to an end in 1965. In the 2023 documentary Joan Baez: I Am A Noise, the iconic singer said that Dylan “broke [her] heart.”
Barbaro was spotted in her Baez attire and clutching a guitar case while filming in N.Y.C. in March 2024.

Norton, known for his iconic roles in films like Fight Club and American History X, will assume the role of Pete Seeger, the legendary folk singer and social activist who was an early supporter of Dylan.
Seeger, who was a prominent figure in the American folk music revival at the time, encouraged Dylan in the preliminary stages of his career. As Dylan moved towards a more electric and rock-influenced sound, diverging from Seeger's traditional folk roots, the pair’s relationship became subject of various rumors suggesting that Seeger disapproved — which he has refuted.
“Bob! Someone just told me that you too think I didn’t like your going electric in 1965,” Seeger wrote in a letter to Dylan in 1990, per Far Out Magazine. “I’ve denied that so many times.”
In A Complete Unknown, Norton's portrayal of Seeger will bring forward his mentorship of Dylan and the controversial moment when the musician shocked the audience at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 by performing with an electric guitar.

Boyd Holbrook stars as Johnny Cash, the iconic country singer and close friend of Dylan.
Cash and Dylan shared a deep friendship and mutual respect for each other's music. They collaborated on Dylan's album Nashville Skyline and remained close friends for over 40 years. Cash was the one to initiate their friendship, reaching out to Dylan to extend his appreciation of his artistry. In his memoir, Cash: The Autobiography, the musician reflected on their friendship origin story.
“I wrote Bob a letter telling him how much of a fan I was,” Cash penned. “He wrote back almost immediately, saying he’d been following my music since ‘I Walk the Line,’ and so we began a correspondence.”

Scoot McNairy plays Woody Guthrie, the legendary folk singer who greatly influenced Dylan.
Guthrie's music and activism were a significant inspiration for Dylan, who idolized him and tracked him down at a hospital in New Jersey soon after moving to New York in 1961.
Dylan’s admiration for Guthrie is well documented. He praised the artist throughout his career, dedicated songs to him and wrote the poem “Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie” in 1963, as the musician was dying of Huntington’s disease.

The Hair-Raising 'Last Straw' is Coming to Theaters
It’s no secret that working in the restaurant industry can be stressful, to say the least. It seems like workers in this industry can’t catch a break. What with inflation, customer attitudes, and wage fluctuation, there’s already enough horror involved. Throw in a bunch of murderous lunatics, and the results are overkill.
No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service…
Starring Jessica Belkin, Jeremy Sisto, and Taylor Kowalski, this horror film is a real kitchen nightmare. The story follows a young waitress working the night shift at an isolated diner. So basically, this is the nightmare of anyone who’s worked in the middle of nowhere. With plenty of neon lights and an 80s-style synth, this upcoming thriller is certainly hitting all the right chords. The diner itself even manages to give off the right amount of isolation and creepiness to set the mood. The trailer gives close-ups of the antagonisers. Some of their masks give off retro-masked slasher vibes. One mask in particular is reminiscent of the clown mask used in Rob Zombie’s Halloween, which was worn by a child, Michael Myers.

Two of the three actors mentioned are no rookies when it comes to horror. Jessica Belkin has starred in American Horror Story and Deathlink, while Jeremy Sisto starred in the inbred hillbilly classic Wrong Turn. Under production by Blue Finch Films and directed by Alan Scott Neal, Last Straw certainly has the potential to be one of the biggest surprise hitters for horror in 2023. It is worth mentioning, however, that Neal has seemingly never worked on a thriller or horror film before. This lack of experience is the only major concern that viewers may have going in. In recent years, there has been a serious lack of horror thrillers, so hopefully, this film manages to scratch that itch. As of now, there is no strict release date in sight for this film; however, international sales are slated to occur in the American Film Market later this year. Stay tuned for any updates on this potential gem.
Blue Finch Films have sold North American rights to thriller “Last Straw” to Shout! Studios at the Berlin European Film Market.
Written by Taylor Sardoni, “Last Straw” pays homage to the pressure- cooker genre films of the past and aims to present a raw and unrelenting twist on the home-invasion thriller. The story revolves around a young waitress working the late shift alone at a rural roadside diner. Her life takes a terrifying turn when she becomes the target of a group of masked assailants. As the night unfolds she must muster all her strength to survive.
This film, which premiered at Beyond Fest and Sitges last year, marks the directorial debut of Alan Scott Neal, and the cast includes Jessica Belkin (“American Horror Story”), Jeremy Sisto (“Thirteen”) and Taylor Kowalski (“Snowfall”).

“‘Last Straw’ is a smart and twisty edge-of-your-seat thriller that delivers scares and surprises in equal measure. A layered screenplay and terrific performances led by the dynamic Jessica Belkin make this night of hell-on-earth a terrifying pleasure, and Shout! is honored to bring the experience to audiences nationwide,” said Gus Krieger, director of acquisitions and development at Shout!

Eckerle and Brandt added: “It’s clear that Shout! Studios is a company that’s run by people who truly love movies. They have a deep understanding of how to position genre films for success.

The best thrillers don’t need much to deliver an effective blow. Some might utilize a single cast member, others a small group. Some may restrict the setting, while others might move around a bit. “Last Straw” fits into the overall genre nicely by blending the best elements of all, with a minuscule cast and minimal location changes, all tied together by a simple story with enough power and sudden right turns to keep things interesting. It may not succeed in redefining the game, but it’s hard to doubt this was ever the plan.
READ MORE: ‘Last Straw’ Teaser: New Thriller Updates The Home Invasion Premise At Beyond Fest 2023
Taking a page from the premise of “The Strangers” and with a setup that could draw comparisons to a junior varsity “Falling Down, “ “Last Straw” makes the most of a small town setting, though even the whereabouts could be considered unnecessary as the film finds itself primarily set in and around a sleepy diner seemingly transported from decades prior. It’s a mishmash of nostalgia, from the counter lifted out of any George Webb to the rotary phone and even a CD jukebox at the disposal of its small staff, which includes waiter Bobby (Joji Otani-Hansen), custodian Petey (Christopher M. Lopes) and Jake (Taylor Kowalski) behind the grill. It’s here that we meet Nancy (Jessica Belkin), a year removed from the halcyon days of high school and, as seen in the opening moments, has recently learned she’s pregnant with fellow employee Bobby, presumably the father. As her shift begins one overcast day, and with her emotions on edge, the next few hours bring amongst the general angst of dealing with customers, her boss/father Edward (Jeremy Sisto) or a group of local hoodlums tearing through the parking lot on a ramshackle set of mopeds, with Nancy’s threats to get the police involved only serving to get them to leave barely, not before making themselves at home at a diner booth and now sporting low-priced Halloween masks ostensibly just for fun. Though she succeeds in driving them out, a heated argument during a staff meeting minutes later results in Jake’s termination by Nancy, the acting manager, but this is undoubtedly the least of her worries, as nightfall sees that same gang of moped-driving thugs return, now terrorizing the restaurant where Nancy’s working solo. Once they make their way inside, things start to look predictable, that is, until they don’t.
Without giving too much away, the atmosphere that encompasses “Last Straw” feels both appropriately low-budget while as far removed from the tone of a student film; this, happily, speaks volumes of director Alan Scott Neal in his debut at the helm, a position he holds with the touch of someone who’s been around the block a time or two before but with a focus dedicated to keeping the pace surging forward, the transitions from scene to scene tight and the vibe both intense and even somewhat eerie throughout. Though the cast finds themselves working against the dialogue occasionally, everyone gives 100%, with Belkin and Kowalski at the front of the pack. Belkin’s Nancy manages to shift quickly and flawlessly from near-boredom at the mere thought of working until close to frustrated near-rage, all the way to panic and all as if it’s Belkin herself experiencing this slew of emotions. It’s the mark of a dedicated actor; Kowalski, meanwhile, delivers just as well, with his drug-fueled chef Jake making dramatic shifts that need to be seen to be believed. It’s not pretty, but in the world of “Last Straw, “ it works.
Yes, the mood turns violent, another swing that renders every vicious scene borderline shocking without an overuse of gore or gratuity. Luckily, even these savagely dark moments get a boost from the incredible score courtesy of Alan Palomo (of the electronic band Neon Indian), whose synth-wave soundtrack recalls “Turbo Kid” or “Drive” in the best way possible. It’s impossible to accurately place the year in which “Last Straw” occurs, and the music throughout doesn’t help; this, by the way, is a good thing. Though the ending might leave the audience on a dour note, it’s still not without a glimmer of hope.
Ultimately, “Last Straw” is far from the sort of movie that everyone will want to revisit more than once, nor throw on as a means to unwind. It does, however, put the talent on both sides of the camera on full display, teeing up all for the undeniable potential for future success. In this way, there’s much to appreciate; it’s the sort of movie you’re glad to finish, but enjoy the journey to the end. [B]

"What is wrong with you?!" Universal Pictures and Blumhouse have revealed the first official trailer the unsettling horror remake Speak No Evil, a Hollywood take on the Danish horror film Speak No Evil from 2022. This takes the same disturbing plot and spins in a bit, though it does stick fairly closely to the other film. Two families meet while on holiday, and one invites the other to their country estate. After they arrive at an idyllic English country house, it morphs from a dream vacation into a psychological nightmare when Paddy takes over. This new Speak No Evil movie stars Mackenzie Davis & Scoot McNairy as American couple Louise & Ben Dalton, who, along with their 11-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler), accept a weekend holiday invitation of Paddy (James McAvoy), and his wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi), and their furtive, mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough). Damn this looks crazy intense and terrifying! What is going on with McAvoy?! If you haven't seen the other one already, it might be better to wait & watch this film first.
Here's the first official trailer for James Watkins' Speak No Evil, direct from Universal's YouTube:
Speak No Evil Film
When an American family is invited to spend the weekend out at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare. From producer Jason Blum and Blumhouse comes an intense suspense thriller for our modern age, starring BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy in a riveting lead performance as the charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammeled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness. Speak No Evil is written and directed by British filmmaker James Watkins, director of the films Eden Lake, The Woman in Black, The Take, and the series "McMafia" and "The Ipcress File" previously, plus the "Shut Up and Dance" episode of Black Mirror. Based on the screenplay of the 2022 Danish horror sensation Gæsterne, written by Christian Tafdrup & Mads Tafdrup. Produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse and Paul Ritchie. Universal will release Speak No Evil in theaters starting on September 13th, 2024 later this year.
"I've always wanted a family like yours." "Something's not right with him..." Universal & Blumhouse have debuted a second official trailer for the disquieting horror remake Speak No Evil, a Hollywood take on the Danish horror film Speak No Evil from 2022. Opening in theaters in September just before the Halloween season. This takes the same disturbing plot and spins in a bit, though it does stick fairly closely to the other film. Two families meet while on holiday, and one invites the other to their country estate. After they arrive at an idyllic English country house, it morphs from a dream vacation into a psychological nightmare when Paddy takes over. This new Speak No Evil movie stars Mackenzie Davis & Scoot McNairy as American couple Louise & Ben Dalton, who, along with their 11-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler), accept a weekend holiday invitation of Paddy (James McAvoy), and his wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi), and their furtive, mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough). This trailer gives away tons of the story, though it's more about the terror of being with this kind of madman, than it is discovering that he is a madman. Take a look.

“A family invited to spend a weekend in an idyllic country house, go from a dream vacation to a psychological nightmare,” reads a synopsis of Speak No Evil.
The remake is directed by James Watkins who has also adapted the screenplay. The film was reportedly shot in England. Watkins has previously helmed projects like Eden Lake and The Woman in Black, as well as an episode of Black Mirror.
Produced by Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions, Speak No Evil will arrive in US cinemas on September 13.
English-language remakes of international films are typically not as good as the original. You could argue that most remakes aren’t as good as the original. But in the case of “Speak No Evil,” it’s difficult to imagine a way the Blumhouse remake could come close to the original version.

As seen in the trailer, “Speak No Evil” tells the story of an American Couple who visits a British family that they vacationed with earlier. However, as they begin to learn more about the British couple, things get a little scary. The film stars James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Aisling Franciosi, Alix West Lefler, Dan Hough, and Scoot McNairy.
“Speak No Evil” is written and directed by James Watkins. The filmmaker is probably best known for his earlier films, “Eden Lake” and “Woman in Black.” More recently, he worked in TV, directing episodes of “The Ipcress File” and “McMafia.”
As mentioned, the film is a remake of the 2022 original from filmmaker Christian Tafdrup. The main reason why the English-language remake seems like it won’t be as good is because Tafdrup’s original is so dark that it’s seemingly impossible for most American audiences to stomach. The ending, in particular, is so disturbing, you have to assume Blumhouse would greatly change it. All this to say, you should definitely watch the original on Shudder. Like now.
“Speak No Evil” debuts in theaters on September 13. You can watch the new trailer below.

Emily in Paris Season 4 returns in a brand-new and exciting trailer.
Emily faces a love triangle while Sylvie deals with a personal crisis.
Part 1 will premiere on August 15, 2024, followed by Part 2 on September 12, 2024.
Fans of Emily in Paris have something to look forward to this summer as the hit Netflix series returns with its fourth season, split into two five-episode parts. Part 1 will premiere on August 15, 2024, followed by Part 2 on September 12, 2024, and Netflix has just released the trailer for the upcoming chaos. The new season picks up after the dramatic fallout of Camille and Gabriel's ill-fated wedding. Emily (Lily Collins) finds herself in an emotional whirlwind, torn between two men: Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), who is now expecting a baby with his ex, and Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), whose worst fears about Emily and Gabriel have been confirmed.
At work, Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) faces a complex dilemma from her past that threatens her marriage, while the Agence Grateau team navigates significant personnel changes. Mindy (Ashley Park) and her band gear up for Eurovision, but financial troubles force them to get creative and thrifty. Meanwhile, Emily and Gabriel’s undeniable chemistry intensifies as they collaborate towards achieving a Michelin star, but two major secrets loom, threatening to unravel all their hard work and dreams.
Created, executive produced, and written by Darren Star, the creative team behind Emily in Paris includes executive producers Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, Andrew Fleming, Alison Brown, and Robin Schiff. Co-executive producers are Stephen Brown, Grant Sloss, and Joe Murphy, with Ryan McCormick, Raphaël Benoliel, Lily Collins, and Jake Fuller serving as producers.
Ashley Park Returns to 'Emily in Paris' After a Health Scare
The trailer shows us the return of Ashley Park's Mindy, which is wonderful to see after she very nearly lost her life. The actress contracted tonsilitis back in January which, to quote a social media post from her, "spiraled into critical septic shock" and left her in hospital requiring urgent care, but thankfully, she was able to return to work a few weeks after the event, and fans will be thrilled to see Mindy back on the scene.
As Emily in Paris continues to capture the imaginations of audiences worldwide, the fourth season is poised to deliver even more of the stylish escapism, romantic entanglements, and cultural clashes that have made it a global sensation.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates on Emily in Paris Season 4 and other exciting TV and film news. You can check out the trailer for the fourth season of Emily in Paris above. The series returns to Netflix on August 15.

Things are getting more complicated for Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) as the Emily in Paris Season 4 trailer (above) picks up where Season 3 left off.
The series’ fourth season will be split into two parts, each consisting of five episodes. Part 1 arrives August 15 followed by the conclusion on September 12.
In the trailer, Emily thinks she’s telling her best French friend Mindy (Ashley Park) about all the hot men she saw on her morning run, but when she confirms that she is neither with Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) nor Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), Gabriel sticks his head out of the shower asking “You’re not with Alfie?”

‘Emily in Paris’ Season 4: Everything We Know So Far
Per the logline, “After the dramatic events of Camille Camille Razat) and Gabriel’s misbegotten wedding, Emily is reeling: She has strong feelings for two men, but now Gabriel’s expecting a baby with his ex and Alfie’s worst fears about her and Gabriel have been confirmed. At work, Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) is forced to confront a thorny dilemma from her past for the sake of her marriage, and the Agence Grateau team navigate personnel shakeups.”
“Mindy and the band prepare for Eurovision, but when funds run dry, they’re forced to get thrifty. Emily and Gabriel’s chemistry is undeniable as they work together towards a Michelin star, but two big secrets threaten to undo everything they’ve dreamed of.”
Mindy reminds viewers that Camille’s decision at the end of Season 3 has made it possible for Emily and Gabriel to finally be together.

“The man who is still having a baby with a woman who’s in love with another woman and I’m the only one that knows about it?” Emily quips at Mindy, who says “Well, no relationship is perfect.”
Meanwhile, Emily and Alfie’s breakup has gone viral after they posed nearly kissing for an Ami ad, and Sylvie is not happy about it.
“You broadcast your entire life for public consumption, and now it’s affecting my business,” Sylvie tells Emily.
Later, Alfie shares with Emily that he needs more time after she visits him at a boxing workout.
Things aren’t looking great between her and Julien (Samuel Arnold) either, as was hinted last season when he got mad at Emily for stealing his thunder. He reminds her how she’s interfered with him for the last time at a tennis match.

Amid tensions, Emily confronts Camille while they row boats in a pond, and when Gabriel tells her he’s sick of all the secrets, she screeches, “So am I!” back at him.
Emily hints to Mindy that she might be ready for something new, while also admitting, “I really thought that I could move on from them, but they both mean so much to me for different reasons.”
“I promised myself I’d be open to any possibility,” she says as the clip concludes and she looks between Alfie and Gabriel at a masquerade event, and her gaze falls somewhere in the middle as she finishes the sentence: “And this seems like it’s the one.”
Created, executive produced and written by Darren Star Emily in Paris also stars Bruno Gouery and William Abadie. Collins produces alongside Ryan McCormick, Raphaël Benoliel and Jake Fuller. Executive producers include Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, Andrew Fleming, Alison Brown and Robin Schiff. Stephen Brown, Grant Sloss and Joe Murphy are co-executive producers. The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, Darren Star Productions and Jax Media.

Is there a trailer for Emily in Paris season 4?
Yes—and, predictably, it’s jam-packed full of eye-popping costumes, tense confrontations, and bombastic on-stage performances. Watch it below.
Who will be in the cast of Emily in Paris Season 4?
Lily Collins and Ashley Park will return as Emily and Mindy, alongside the show’s other stalwarts: Camille Razat (Camille), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Samuel Arnold (Julien), and Bruno Gouery (Luc). However, a question remains over the fate of Lucien Laviscount’s Alfie—the actor was promoted to a series regular last season, but his character stormed off in the final episode of the third installment, seemingly marking the end of his on-again-off-again relationship with Emily. Darren Star, Emily in Paris’s creator, hinted at Alfie’s future in an interview with Deadline in December 2022, saying: “I don’t think romantically he is in the picture [anymore]. I don’t think that [takes] Alfie out of the show. He certainly has a reason to be in Paris, and he’s working with Gabriel. I feel like all of our characters are still connected, just in a more complicated way.”

And as for new additions to the cast? On July 18, the streamer revealed that none other than the beloved British actor Rupert Everett would be coming on board as Giorgio Barbieri, the owner of a global interior design firm based in Rome, who has been friends with Sylvie for decades and makes it his business to know everyone else’s business, and to be the life of every party. There’s also the dashing Eugenio Franceschini as Marcello, a confident Roman who is “substantive but never flashy—true to the roots of his family’s company”; Anna Galiena as Antonia Muratori, his mother, the matriarch of the Muratori family and the head of their family business; Raoul Bova as Giancarlo, a charming, self-assured Roman commercial director who used to be Sylvie’s film professor; and Thalia Besson as Genevieve, Sylvie’s husband Laurent’s 20-something daughter from a past relationship, who’s just moved from New York City to Paris to start her career. “Her bright, eager demeanour immediately endears her to Emily, who’s thrilled to have an American expat to mentor,” the network revealed. “But their similarities may end up complicating Emily’s life—both professionally and personally.”

What will be the plot of Emily in Paris Season 4?
While Star hasn’t revealed specific plot points for Season 4, he did give fans a taste of what they can expect in his interview with Deadline. Of Emily’s relationship with Gabriel, he said: “I think that a big question to think about [in] the next season is, Emily didn’t come to Paris for romance, she came for a job, and I think they’re both in a different, more mature place in their lives, Emily and Gabriel, and definitely a more complicated place.” He added that the pair and Gabriel’s ex Camille would, in all likelihood, continue to co-exist, and perhaps even remain in the same building. “They are all involved in each other’s lives, they are friends, they work together,” he continued. “They’re all very much tied together. But I just think there were some big unforeseen complications here, especially for Emily. And perhaps Emily-Gabriel is not meant to be, at least in the immediate future.”
Star also stated that we could see more of Camille’s former lover Sofia (Melia Kreiling), and will almost certainly be seeing more of Sylvie’s husband Laurent (Arnaud Binard). The theme of Season 4, he added, would be “how to balance business and toxic relationships, because that’s going to be happening with a lot of our characters.” And as for Mindy, who is dating Nico (Paul Forman) but due to perform at Eurovision with her ex Benoît (Kevin Dias)? “Both will be in her life,” confirmed Star. “I don’t know what the details of filming are but I think that our plan is to go to Eurovision next season. We’re all set up for it.”

And there is, of course, another trip on the cards, too. On June 17, 2023, Netflix released an announcement video featuring Lily Collins, in which the actor said: “While Emily’s heart will always stay true to Paris, her life takes some unexpected twists this season. Don’t be surprised to find her on a Roman holiday.” We can hardly wait.

Then, on June 5, 2024, Lily Collins finally shared some tantalizing first stills, after which Netflix released the official Season 4 synopsis: “After the dramatic events of Camille and Gabriel’s misbegotten wedding, Emily is reeling: she has strong feelings for two men, but now Gabriel’s expecting a baby with his ex, and Alfie’s worst fears about her and Gabriel have been confirmed. At work, Sylvie is forced to confront a thorny dilemma from her past for the sake of her marriage, and the Agence Grateau team navigates personnel shake-ups.

Emily and Gabriel’s chemistry is undeniable as they work together towards a Michelin star, but two big secrets threaten to undo everything they’ve dreamed of.”
When is the release date for Emily in Paris Season 4?
The fourth installment—like The Crown and Bridgerton before it—will land in two parts, with the first five episodes arriving on August 15, and the second set of five on September 12. In the video which confirmed the news, cast members were asked to choose three words to describe the upcoming season. Among the phrases they picked? Vulnerable, messy, chaotic, and heartbreaking. Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu’s Sylvie, however, only needs one word: “Revenge.”
Will there be more seasons of Emily in Paris?
It looks like it, yes. When asked by Deadline if Season 4 will be the show’s final chapter, Star replied, “I definitely think the show has a life beyond next season. There’s no end in sight until everybody feels like it’s time to end.”

So, has Emily in Paris Season 5 officially been confirmed?
Not quite yet. There was much confusion back in may when, during the amfAR gala at the Cannes Film Festival, Winnie Harlow and Paris Jackson appeared on stage to auction off a walk-on role in Emily in Paris Season 5 for charity. In the official auction booklet, the listing read: “From Sex and the City to Emily in Paris, Darren Star brings dreams to life, and he will bring the film dreams to life for one lucky bidder with a walk-on role during season five of Emily in Paris. As part of the walk-on role, the winning bidder will have the opportunity to spend a day on set in Paris during filming sometime after April 2025. To tide you over until then, the winning bidder and a guest are invited to attend the Los Angeles premiere of Emily in Paris season four this August.” Harlow and Jackson added that Season 5 is scheduled to begin shooting in mid 2025, and the eventual winner of the auction shelled out a whopping €250,000.

"How are we going to get through this?" Such a meta question, because this looks awful and it's hard to even finish this trailer. Lionsgate has unveiled the second and final trailer for Borderlands, a video game movie that has been in the works for years. This was shot in 2021 and has been delayed from release until this year - landing in August. If anyone cares? Based on the popular video game series set on the abandoned fictional planet of Pandora – where people search for a mysterious relic. "The fate of the universe could be in their hands but they'll be fighting for something more: each other." Directed by Eli Roth, this sci-fi action movie stars Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Kevin Hart as Roland, Jack Black as Claptrap, Jamie Lee Curtis as Dr. Patricia Tannis, Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, Florian Munteanu as Krieg, along with Haley Bennett, Edgar Ramírez, Bobby Lee, Olivier Richters, Janina Gavankar, Cheyenne Jackson, and Gina Gershon as Mad Moxxi. This footage looks overly stylized yet dull, pointlessly flashy, extremely dumb, and entirely lifeless. So the bad video game movie curse lives on! This one seems entirely skippable.
Here's the second & final trailer (+ poster) for Eli Roth's Borderlands, direct from Lionsgate's YouTube:

Lilith, an infamous outlaw with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of the universe's most powerful S.O.B., Atlas. Lilith forms an alliance with an unexpected team - Roland, a former elite mercenary, now desperate for redemption; Tiny Tina, a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg, Tina's musclebound, rhetorically challenged protector; Tannis, the scientist with a tenuous grip on sanity; and Claptrap, a persistently wiseass robot. These unlikely heroes must battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits to find and protect the missing girl, who may hold the key to unimaginable power. Borderlands is directed by American genre writer / producer / filmmaker Eli Roth, director of the films Cabin Fever, Hostel I & II, The Green Inferno, Knock Knock, Death Wish, The House with a Clock in Its Walls, Thanksgiving, and the Fin shark doc, as well as Stolz der Nation in Inglorious Basterds.

Goodbye, Hello explores family dynamics and self-realization in a charming comedy drama starring Jeremy Ford and Steve Guttenberg.
Ryan returns home to care for his dying father and falls in love with the caretaker, leading to new insights on family bonds.
Gravitas Ventures continues to deliver diverse and captivating films, with Goodbye, Hello set to premiere on August 13 on digital and cable VOD.
There’s a new indie drama in town as Collider has the exclusive first look at Gravitas Ventures’ latest film, Goodbye, Hello. Playing into complicated family dynamics and the harsh realization that we’re all a little more like our parents than we’d like to believe, the film stars Jeremy Ford (Netflix’s Fear Street film series) as a young man forced to return home after his father, Gene (Steve Guttenberg) is given a short and troubling prognosis. There’s a lot that’s been keeping Ford’s Nate away from this big homecoming and family reunion, but as viewers can see in today’s trailer, there’s even more that will hook him in to stay.
After receiving a panicked call from his sister Maggie (Charlotte D’Alessio), Ryan has no choice but to make his way home to take care of and hopefully reconnect with his dying dad before it’s too late. With all the charm that one could expect from a comedy drama centered around strained family bonds and new beginnings, Goodbye, Hello follows Ryan’s journey as he finds himself falling in love with his father’s caretaker Amal (Hollie Bahar), who teaches him that he and his dad might not be so different after all. The colorful trailer promises plenty of silly hijinks in what can be described as a later-in-life coming-of-age movie.
Along with the main four cast members, Goodbye, Hello also features performances from Alan Trong (The Sympathizer), Nancy Linari (The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest), and Taylor Alden (Way Down Bundy). The film’s biggest name is undoubtedly Guttenberg, who holds the gruff and curmudgeonly role as Maggie and Ryan’s ailing parent. Audiences will undoubtedly recognize the actor from his iconic career in films such as Police Academy, Three Men and a Baby, The Bedroom Window, and It Takes Two. Along with starring, Ford also penned the comedy drama’s script alongside Bec Pittard with Jack Cooper Stimpson directing.

Natasha Lyonne, Carrie Coon, and Elizabeth Olsen are coming home to their respective indie roots for grieving family drama “His Three Daughters.” The trio play the eponymous siblings for the Netflix film, which debuted at TIFF 2023. Coon stars as responsible sister Katie, who is tasked with carrying out her ailing father’s (Jay O. Sanders) end-of-life wishes. Olsen is her sister Christina who embraces the spiritual realm to cope with losing her dad, while Lyonne’s Rachel opts to smoke pot and disassociate.
The three estranged sisters come together once more to a New York apartment to care for their dying father and “try to mend their own broken relationship with one another,” per the film’s official synopsis.

Azazel Jacobs writes and directs the film, which IndieWire’s Kate Erbland gave a B+ review. Jacobs’ previous features include “French Exit” and “The Lovers,” as well as the series “Sorry for Your Loss” which also starred Olsen.
“Jacobs’ stellar casting instantly belies the care that goes into the entire film, and as he allows each of his stars to further melt into their roles, ‘His Three Daughters’ doesn’t just grow, it grows more generous,” Erbland wrote. “As the sisters — the daughters — start to come together, Jacobs lulls them with a last act bit of wish fulfillment, even fantasy, perhaps delusion. Initially, this twist feels at odds with the wonderfully lived-in, deeply realistic world Jacobs and his stars have built. And yet, it also offers the greatest argument for the strength of their bond. They are different people, main characters of their own story, but they have a shared dream: one in which all of them, all four of them, can be together for one more moment. Family is forever, even if it’s fleeting.”
During a July 2024 Netflix tastemaker screening and Q&A for the film, Jacobs explained his inspiration for the personal feature. “I’ve had experience with close people passing, and it’s only increased as I’ve gotten older, and there’s always been a fear with my own parents,” Jacobs said. “There’s a sense of how time shifted that I was really pursuing that I really hadn’t seen so much in film, how time collapses and expands when you know that something you’re dreading happening is absolutely going to happening, similarly to the way a film is going to end. I was halfway through the first draft when I realized I was just pictured [these actors in the movie].”
Jacobs was also determined to create “an environment I want to escape to” onscreen; “His Three Daughters” is filmed in 35mm by “Lady Bird” and “Frances Ha” cinematographer Sam Levy. “Even though I was dealing with these heavy things, I wanted to be in this world. I wanted to be with these actors. I wanted to be on this set. I wanted to be able to walk to this place from my neighborhood,” he said. “Once we found that apartment, that that courtyard was exactly perfect, that we didn’t have to piece anything together, that the hallway was right, I didn’t need to second guess any of it. It was very clear all the way through, for whatever reason, with this film specifically.”
“His Three Daughters” will arrive in select theaters on Friday, September 6 and will start streaming on Netflix Friday, September 20. Check out the trailer below.

TRAILERS
On Thursday, Netflix debuted the first trailer for one of its major 2024 awards contenders: Azazel Jacobs’s family drama “His Three Daughters” with Emmy nominees Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen starring in the title roles.
Says Netflix in its press release: “This tense, touching, and funny portrait of family dynamics follows three estranged sisters as they converge in a New York apartment to care for their ailing father and try to mend their own broken relationship with one another.”
“His Three Daughters” will debut in limited release starting on September 6 before hitting the streaming platform on September 20. Netflix acquired the film during last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, where “His Three Daughters” received strong reviews for its story execution and revelatory performances – particularly from Lyonne, who plays against her usual type as the half-sister of the characters played by Coon and Olsen.
“I just was very surprised, honestly, to be thought of at this level of a team,” Lyonne said during a tastemaker event Netflix held for “His Three Daughters” earlier this month. “This was, for me, a high level that I don’t often get to play, really across the board. There’s also that scariness of jumping off the cliff. There’s just no place to hide, and nothing to hide behind. It’s like, ‘OK, well, do I really need to play another stoner?’ I don’t really like stoners. I like other types of things. Their stories are kind of slow, they get lost a lot. It was like typecasting essentially, right? Because it was this group, though … and how you [Azazel Jacobs] knew it was us. That sort of specificity is very seductive. Because you’re like, ‘What do you mean, and how do you know?’ This is a business of rejecting, going at big swings, like, ‘First, it’s Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Viola [Davis]!’ The same four. ‘Like, who are the biggest international stars?’”
During the event, the first time the three actresses had been together for the project since it debuted last year during the prolonged actors’ strike, all three acclaimed performers praised Jacobs’s screenplay.
“With the sense of humor, and the awkwardness, I just don’t think there’s that much good writing out there, frankly,” Coon, an Emmy nominee this year for “The Gilded Age,” said. “There aren’t that many great scripts. There’s a lot of arbitrariness in art, especially if you’re working in TV. ‘Did anybody read this scene?’ Nope, it’s fine, we’ll just do it like that. That’s fine. So it was really nice to have someone have such a specific vision.”
All three stars are expected to compete for awards attention this year, although a final placement decision for Lyonne is still being considered.

when Azazel Jacobs began writing His Three Daughters, he realized he’d created characters with three very specific stars in mind: Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen. The filmmaker had a relationship with each of these decorated actors; the roles seemed tailored to each of them, playing to familiar types before digging deep beneath the surface. “They’re still searching for something that they may not have had a chance to express,” Jacobs tells Vanity Fair. “While each of these characters spoke to them, it also felt like something that maybe they hadn’t yet done.”
As teased by the trailer (which you can watch exclusively above), the movie feels different—authentic, spare, suffused with tough love—because it was made that way. A portrait of three estranged sisters at very different stages of life converging under their dying father’s roof for his final days, His Three Daughters is a searing grief drama exactingly realized by Jacobs and enlivened by powerhouse performances. After hand-delivering them scripts, Jacobs promised his cast that he’d make the movie on real locations, that he’d shoot on film, and that every shot would count. And he brought them all deeply into his process.
A guide to Hollywood’s biggest races
“I was reaching back to a certain filmmaking approach that I grew up with and saw a lot of but hadn’t seen recently,” says Jacobs, whose last film was the Michelle Pfeiffer vehicle French Exit. After launching amid noisier premieres at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, His Three Daughters earned rave reviews, leading to a splashy Netflix pickup and early awards buzz for its main trio of actors. This is truly intimate filmmaking, leaving the actors to introduce established personas before diving into daringly vulnerable places. Lyonne’s wise-cracking detachment will initially feel familiar, for instance, but it takes on a whole new dimension when she breaks your heart.
In their first extensive interviews about His Three Daughters, Coon, Lyonne, and Olsen spoke with Vanity Fair about the singular experience of both making and now sharing the movie. “For me, it’s now been a 40-year career,” Lyonne says, “and I don’t know that I’ve ever seen something like this.”
Interviews for this story have been edited and condensed.
Vanity Fair: Azazel Jacobs wrote each of these roles specifically for you. How did you react to the characters, knowing that?
Natasha Lyonne: It did take me a second to connect with Rachel, ’cause I am so not a pothead. [Laughs] But really, I was like, Is it more interesting if I’m playing Lizzie’s part and a deadhead or something? It was almost confusing. It made me think a little bit, like, Gosh, I really want to do this for Aza, but where is the surprise in me smoking pot? We all think of me as somebody who smokes pot!
But because I let go so completely, I was able to find all of the vulnerability that’s tethered to that: the reasons why I used to smoke so many cigarettes in the first place, or insert-substance-here. I relinquished myself to it. I was able to find all the soft sides of it rather than in something like Russian Doll, where it’s almost like I’m front-facing with the hard edges of it, and the nihilism of it, and the New York of it, and the Lou Reed of it. In this, because it was a family sort of chamber piece, it’s how a person gets to be that way on the outside when you meet them on the street. I come off hard-edged and tough, but it’s only because I’m so soft that I’m wired that way as a coping mechanism from childhood or whatever. It was safe to go there, the why behind all of the smoke that’s always puffing out of me.
Elizabeth Olsen: When we talked about the script for the first time, I said [to Jacobs], “It’s really funny that this is the version of myself that you envision.” I think of myself as kind of direct and demanding, but I do have a nurturing softness to me, and I do act as a mediator often. He knows that part of me as well. I feel like I tapped into a softness that I don’t think I’ve been able to put onscreen before. I was enjoying going back to other films as references. I was thinking about Dianne Wiest in Hannah and Her Sisters, even though she’s a totally different character, but she exudes such softness in everything she does. I was trying to allow that part of myself that Aza, I guess, sees [laughs], but is something I haven’t put on camera.
Carrie Coon: I feel that I often play high-strung controlling moms. [Laughs] It might be a vibe that I give off, which is funny because I’m actually pretty relaxed in my life. Natasha is right in that you kind of read those things and you think, Oh, these are all types. And then as the script unfolds, what you understand is that the form follows the function—the story unfolds in such a way that the audience first encounters the sisters as they’re seeing each other. And then as their point of view gets complicated, so does the audience’s. The audience is actually going on the same journey as the sisters are going on, as they’re rediscovering each other inside of that grief.
The film opens on this unbroken shot of you, Carrie, delivering this very fast monologue. From there, the visual style is very deliberate. Can you talk about working within that?
Coon: Prepping for this felt like prepping for a play. It’s very dialogue-heavy. I knew I was doing the big opening speech, and that I was first up in a room full of heavy hitters. Incredibly intimidating. And I also have two small children, and I don’t have enough time to prepare anymore. [Laughs] These days I always feel underprepared for every job. I was a straight-A student, and there’s just no way that I can live up to my own standards anymore. I swear, I was about to quit the business before this. I was having very serious talks with Tracy [Letts, her husband] about how I didn’t think I could keep being an actor and being a mom at the same time. I felt really overwhelmed by it all. But then this script was so compelling, I knew I had to do it.
With the first scene, I knew Aza wouldn’t move on until he felt it was just right. But it’s so theatrical. Even the way it’s shot, it’s so stark against that white wall. It’s very exposing. There’s not much to rely on. There’s nothing to do with your hands. It really is all about punctuation. The first three lines, I don’t think there’s any period at all. It’s like a run-on sentence.
Lyonne: We shot it all in that apartment. I’d walk back home with [cinematographer] Sam [Levy], show back up the next day, and then we did rehearsals in that same apartment. The danger of acting is no false moves. You can smell a lie onscreen. But if you are genuinely settled in the space, you’re able to fully embody something. It also really opens the prism or aperture of what you can do, because no comedic moment is without drama, and no dramatic moment is without the full scope of human emotion, especially in a piece like this that’s about family, mortality, friendship, and the sisterhood—it’s tackling such sweeping themes that, every moment, all things are on the table and come to the surface. It’s really fun to work in that way.
Olsen: There was no place to hide. Anytime we had to do a quick setup change, we would all just shuffle around each other. Our sound mixer was always in our father’s room. Restrictions are exciting creatively because they allow for you to have to really be specific with the space and the time you have. There’s an energy to having the limits that makes you have to really problem-solve as effectively as possible.
Coon: I think only three quarters of the way through the movie, in the dinner scene, is the first time you see us all in the same frame. Aza and Sam would argue a little bit over how to shoot it because the constraints of the space were so extreme. You can’t take out a wall. It was really challenging. We had Jovan [Adepo] and Rudy [Galvan] and Jasmine [Bracey] intruding on our space, and it really felt like a violation to have them there, in the best way. We were mirroring what was happening in the story.
Olsen: And you’re not quite sure where you are, or oriented in the space, until the relationships grow and shift with the sisters. They’re just incredibly isolated.
Given that intimacy, how did you find working together and getting to know each other?
Coon: Lizzie is so effortless, and Natasha is so relentless in pursuit of the truth, and you just can’t help but feel like the weakest link whenever you’re in the room. But again, by virtue of the fact that we signed on to do the movie, we all knew we were going to come in super prepared. That’s who we are. We’re just ready to roll up our sleeves and do the work. We were also crammed into this tiny space. We were literally on top of each other.
By day three, we were basically just sitting on each other’s laps in there, trying to make Queen Bee in the New York Times [Spelling Bee]. That’s how we bonded. Aza would say, “Hurry up and make Queen Bee, because we have to get this scene before the end of the day!” We were in these little dressing rooms in this rent-controlled apartment building, hanging out all day long, and it was delightful.
Olsen: All three of us as actors really show up from a very open, honest place, knowing that there’s no time to have too many boundaries. [Laughs] We said yes to this project, we all understood the rules and the restrictions of it, and we were all here to play. We all fell in love with each other very quickly.
Coon: Elizabeth Olsen has done such interesting work, and I think we haven’t even touched what she’s capable of yet. I feel like her moment hasn’t even arrived yet, because she’s young—and so, so talented. I can’t wait to see what happens to Elizabeth 10 years from now. And I feel like we were bumping into Natasha at the apex of her career, firing on all cylinders—as a director, as a producer, as an actress—and has had this incredible second lease on her life, having been an addict. Because she’s very open about her journey through life, and the fact that she’s alive is a bit miraculous, and I feel like she lives that way. She’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met.
The movie premiered in Toronto without any of you in attendance, given that it happened during the SAG-AFTRA strike. Was it strange, observing it from a distance? How did it feel seeing it resonate?
Coon: I haven’t seen the movie yet. The rough cut I saw was on a laptop, so I haven’t actually experienced the film, even though I’m doing press for it. I feel really alienated from that moment in Toronto.
Lyonne: It’s a testament to the movie itself that, despite not being able to do the usual steps and promotion, the work stood on its own—and it rose. It actually was very keeping in line with the experience of making the film.
It hearkened back to something more meaningful, a time when the arts were actually just about making a piece of work from the heart rather than being concerned with how it was received or expectations or box office or packaging or marketing. So many of those ideas have so thoroughly corrupted us as people, let alone an industry. Just the way that we commodify everything has really ruined us in so many ways. In a way, Toronto was almost like the perfect vehicle for it, in that there were no beautiful actresses in the mirror. No gorgeous designer dresses and all that fanfare. It is simple: one heart catching another.
Coon: Aza Jacobs is a very specific filmmaker. I feel that if you were given a pile of films and nobody told you who made them, you would probably be able to pick his out, right? You’d say, “These three were made by the same person.” I mean that as a compliment. His vocabulary is very strong and very specific, and he hasn’t historically been for everyone. So the shocking thing for me was how much people resonated with this particular film, because it’s very much an Azazel Jacobs film. It doesn’t exist that far outside of his oeuvre, and yet the world embraced it in such a way that it’s clear he put his finger on the pulse of something in the grief, in the lack of sentimentality in dealing with that grief. I was really surprised how it was received in the world, if I could be frank. I mean, incredibly gratified. I didn’t expect it.
His Three Daughters will be released in US theaters on September 6 before hitting Netflix on September 20. This feature is part of Awards Insider’s exclusive fall film coverage, featuring first looks and in-depth interviews with some of this coming season’s biggest contenders.

Between “Terri” (2011), “The Lovers” (2017), “and “French Exit” (2020), not to mention the series “Doll & Em,” filmmaker Azazel Jacobs has continuously delivered compelling human dramas. He returns with his first film in four years, “His Three Daughters.” Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023—our review described it as “riveting”—Netflix, who acquired North American rights to the poignant drama last year, is finally releasing the film in September (read our review here).
And there’s a terrific pair at its center: Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen, and Natasha Lyonne star as the three sisters in question, who come home to tend to their ailing fathers, trying to heal old family wounds in the process.

Jacobs also wrote the script and the film stars Jovan Adepo, Jay O. Sanders, Rudy Galvan, Jose Febus, and Jasmine Bracey.
Here’s the Netflix synopsis:
This tense, touching, and funny portrait of family dynamics follows three estranged sisters as they converge in a New York apartment to care for their ailing father and try to mend their own broken relationship with one another.
Here’s TIFF’s synopsis, which reveals a little bit more.
When their father’s health worsens, three estranged sisters come together to try to plan for the inevitable. The eldest is high-strung Katie (Carrie Coon), who talks a hundred miles a minute and stresses about all the practical details. The middle sister, Rachel (Natasha Lyonne), is ready to check out after spending a year taking care of the man. And the youngest sibling, Christina (Elizabeth Olsen), seems always on the verge of tears, trying her best to clumsily keep the peace while they’re all stuck in their father’s small apartment.
“Three Daughters” will be released by Netflix in select theaters on Friday, September 6th, 2024, and streams on Netflix on Friday, September 20th, 2024. Watch the first trailer below.

Peacock has dropped the first trailer for Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, its upcoming limited series that tells the story of an infamous armed robbery after Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight. You can also see some new first-look images below.
Based on the iHeart true-crime podcast of the same name, the series follows the infamous story of how an armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali’s (Dexter Darden) historic 1970 comeback fight changed not only one man’s life but ultimately transformed Atlanta into the “Black Mecca.”

Hudson (Don Cheadle), one of the first Black detectives in the city’s desegregated police force, who is tasked with bringing those responsible to justice.

Vince Vaughn looking serious as he stands among other men in True Detective
Bad Monkey seems like a series that utilizes Vaughn’s talents well.
Back in 2015, Vaughn appeared in True Detective season 2 as a gangster trying to go legit. It was a role that was highly anticipated, but, when the season debuted, Vaughn’s character came off as a bit too stiff and wooden, even forced. The second season of the Emmy-winning series is infamously considered the lesser of the four seasons, especially when it’s compared to the first, which remains acclaimed to this day.
In the years after, Vaughn starred in some roles that fully displayed his acting chops. One of those would be his dark turn in Brawl in Cell Block 99, where he plays a man in prison. Sporting a shaved head and a massive tattoo of a cross on the back of it, his character is forced to perform an assassination. Another one of his serious roles is from 2018’s neo-noir Dragged Across Concrete, where he plays a scandalized police officer.
Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete are both written and directed by S. Craig Zahler.
Bad Monkey seems like a series that utilizes Vaughn’s talents well. In the trailer for this genre-bending murder mystery, there are a lot of moments that allow Vaughn to showcase his comedic chops, but the violent nature of the story might call for some darker scenes where he can play up his dramatic side. Whether or not this role pushes the boundaries of what Vaughn is capable of, the casting for Bad Monkey seems spot-on.
Bad Monkey premieres on Apple TV+ on August 14.

When, with some encouragement from her sister-in-law, she decides to go ahead and marry him anyway, she has to overcome public opinion, the law of the land and even her own family’s objections.
Bea is best known for “This Way Up,” “Living With Yourself” and “Doctor Who,” and will soon be headlining the much-anticipated film based on the songs of Take That, “Greatest Days.”

Tubi Picks Up Season 2 of British Comedy/Drama 'Boarders,' Which It Will Co-Produce With the BBC (EXCLUSIVE)
Hanks was recently seen in Paramount+ drama “The Offer,” and will soon star in Peacock’s true crime limited drama series, “A Friend of the Family.”
Popular on Variety
Lourd, who landed her breakout turn in Olivia Wilde’s feature directorial debut “Booksmart” and is due to star alongside Julia Roberts and George Clooney in Working Title’s comedy “Ticket to Paradise,” plays Nathan’s chaotic but well-meaning sister, Audrey.
The feature will be directed by Australian director Daniel Reisinger, whose YouTube Originals series “Sideswiped,” starring Rosana Arquette, Peter Gallagher, Carly Craig and Jason Sudeikis, garnered more than 55 million views.
The film marks the second feature for comedy producer Dan Hine’s London label, Who’s on First. Hine will be producing alongside U.S. producing and financing partners, FirstGen Content. Executive producers for FirstGen include Michael D’Alto, Chris Triana, Claude Amadeo and Randal Sandler.
Reisinger said: “‘And Mrs’ is the comedy we need after the last couple of years, one which helps us laugh through the tears. We’re lucky to have a cast gifted enough to nail the unique tone and who really embody their characters.”
Hine added: “We are absolutely delighted to be working with these three actors, who all share a deep personal connection to the material. It feels like this story has really found its moment post-pandemic — we cannot wait to bring it to life.”
‘And Mrs’ is written by up and coming playwright Melissa Bubnic, whose play “Boys Will Be Boys” will transfer worldwide from Sydney to London, New York and Italy. Bubnic is currently writing episodes of “Nautilus” for Disney+, and “A Town Called Malice” and “Stan’s Two Hands” for Sky Max.
Who’s on First is repped by CAA. Aisling Bea is repped by CAA, 3 Arts and Livi Shean at Independent Talent in the U.K. Lourd is repped by Alex Mebed at CAA. Hanks is repped by Jenna Gates at UTA, Courtney Kivowitz at MGMT Entertainment and attorneys Brecheen Feldman Breimer Silver Thompson. Reisinger is repped by Michael Sheresky, Ramses Ishak and Anna Flickinger at UTA and managed by Ben Neumann and Josh Goldenberg at Kaplan/Perrone. Bubnic is repped by CAA and Lily Williams at Curtis Brown in the U.K.

Sideswiped director Daniel Reisinger has found a leading cast for his upcoming comedy, And Mrs. Today, Variety announced that Billie Lourd, Colin Hanks, and Aisling Bea will star in the production which is planning to get cameras rolling in London this fall. The feature is set to take place in London where a woman named Gemma (Bea) is preparing for her wedding day with her American fiancé Nathan (Hanks). Tragedy strikes for the soon-to-be newlyweds when Nathan unexpectedly passes away shortly before the couple can exchange vows. It’s then that Gemma’s would-be sister-in-law (Lourd) suggests that she marry Nathan anyway.
As would be expected, the decision sends the public into a frenzy with everyone offering up their personal feelings on the macabre matter with Gemma also facing down her own family who are rather put off by her decision. And then, of course, there’s the law that regards the idea as a matter of unholy matrimony. At the center of it all, Gemma finds herself pushing for what she believes to be the right decision, and above all else - love.
An Irish native, Bea is well known for her comedic stylings making her the perfect choice to front the new comedy. While American audiences may know her from her performance in Netflix’s Living With Yourself, where she starred opposite Paul Rudd, those across the pond will absolutely recognize her from her role in This Way Up. The Channel 4 dramedy sees Aisling starring alongside Sharon Horgan on the series that Bea also pens. Next up, the 2020 BAFTA recipient will star in Greatest Day, a film centered around the songs of Take That.

Hanks has been on the scene since the late 1990s when he nabbed his debut role in Roswell.

Up next, he’ll appear in Peacock’s true crime limited series, A Friend of the Family.
While starring in Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut, Booksmart, may have been the role that put Lourd on the map, true fans will remember her television breakout in the hilarious gone-too-soon series, Scream Queens. After her first project with two of Scream Queens’ creators, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, Lourd was quickly cast in their spooky anthology series, American Horror Story. She also appeared in the latest trio of Star Wars flicks, some alongside her mother, icon, and legend, the late Carrie Fisher.

"This ain't no game, Geena, I don't want you messin' with them." Vertical has revealed an official trailer for an indie film titled Catching Dust, which first premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival last year. The film marks the feature directorial debut of British filmmaker Stuart Gatt after a few other shorts, and opens in the US in August. As Geena decides to leave her criminal husband Clyde and their isolated Texas hideout, a couple from NY suddenly arrive with a trailer. Ignoring the risks, she convinces Clyde to let them stay, a decision that leads to dangerous consequences for everyone involved. Tribeca adds: "In this fascinating look at how couples sustain relationships, even in the face of erosion and dismay, audiences will grapple with the friction of romantic pursuits and conflicting friendships as much as Geena and Clyde do in Stuart Gatt's directorial debut." The indie movie stars Erin Moriarty, Dina Shihabi, Ryan Corr, and Jai Courtney. This looks like it's a dusty thriller about two couples with so many buried secrets they can't contain them all.
Here's the main official trailer for Stuart Gatt's film Catching Dust, direct from Vertical's YouTube:
Catching Dust Film
Via Tribeca: "Erin Moriarty stars as Geena, an artist and painter ready to dream big, tired of the malaise of living in the harsh Big Bend desert with controlling partner Clyde (Jai Courtney). At her wit's end, she's preparing to leave when a new couple shows up at the commune in a trailer from New York, eager to make a new life for themselves away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Things quickly turn dangerous for both couples as tensions boil over; egos come to a head as attempts to connect leave everyone frayed and on the edge of disaster." Catching Dust is written and directed by British indie filmmaker Stuart Gatt, making his feature directorial debut after a few other short films previously. Produced by Mark David, Jon Katz, Edward R. Pressman, Stuart Gatt. This initially premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival last year. Vertical will debut Catching Dust in select US theaters + on VOD starting August 23rd, 2024. Intrigued?
Vertical revealed the trailer for Catching Dust, the feature film directorial debut of British indie filmmaker, Stuart Gatt (My Beautiful White Skin). Set in Texas, the independent film tells the story of a woman played by Erin Moriarty with big dreams planning to leave her abusive controlling partner played by Jai Courtney.
The film had its world premiere last year at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival.
Starring the film are Erin Moriarty, Jai Courtney, Dina Shihabi, and Ryan Corr.
Release Date
Directed by Stuart Gatt, ‘Catching Dust’ opens in select US theaters and on VOD August 23, 2024.
Synopsis
Geena and her outlaw spouse Clyde, have taken refuge in a solitary trailer on a deserted community in Texas’ Big Bend. Tired of his autocratic ways, Geena plans to escape, when a new trailer shows up with a pair from New York. Geena persuades Clyde to let them stay, despite the dangers they will bring, a choice that leads to serious trouble for everyone.
In an interview with E. Nina Rothe, director Stuart Gatt commented on his process of getting the idea for the story, saying “I kept having this image of a trailer in the middle of the desert. And for some reason that image was really exciting to me, and it really fascinated me and you start to challenge yourself with people who could live there, and why are they there? And what would force them to be there and what could happen right now that will turn this character’s life upside down. And you start going on this journey in your mind, basically, which was just really the genesis, this simple image. That happens to me a lot. And it was definitely the case with this story. That one image of a trailer in the middle of the desert was the seed that the rest of the story grew out of.”
Reviews
Brian Tallerico in a RogerEbert.com review wrote “‘Catching Dust’ should be a character study of two very different couples and how they influence one another, but it never quite takes these people seriously enough to work on that level.”
Stephanie Archer from Film Enquiry gave the film a more positive review, writing “‘Catching Dust’ does risk losing the audience in the drawn-out moments between emotional interactions. Yet, as an audience, you will find yourself shocked by how invested you are in by film’s end.”

"If I were you, I wouldn't get hurt even more..." Neon has unveiled a second official trailer for Cuckoo, the chilling German horror film arriving in theaters soon. It first premiered at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival and also played at SXSW earlier this year. Cuckoo is the second feature from German filmmaker Tilman Singer after Luz. Gretchen travels to the German Alps with her father & stepmother, where she comes across dark secrets. She hears strange noises and is plagued by visions of a weird woman chasing after her, drawn into a conspiracy involving bizarre experiments by the resort’s owner that echoes back generations... Following his festival hit Luz, Singer has once again succeeded in creating an atmospheric & visually outstanding horror trip. Shot on 35mm, this film stars Euphoria's Hunter Schafer alongside a brilliant and terrifying Dan Stevens in it. It also features Jessica Henwick, Marton Csókás, Jan Bluthardt, Greta Fernández, Konrad Singer, Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey, & Proschat Madani. I am a BIG fan of this original horror (read my review) - it's an eerie, strange freaky blast, with a fun dash of humor thrown in to shake things up.

It premiered at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival and also played at SXSW recently. Cuckoo is the second feature from German filmmaker Tilman Singer after Luz. Gretchen travels to the German Alps with her father & stepmother, where she comes across dark secrets. She hears strange noises and is plagued by visions of a woman chasing after her, drawn into a conspiracy involving bizarre experiments by the resort’s owner that echoes back generations... Following his festival hit Luz, Singer has once again succeeded in creating an atmospheric & visually outstanding horror trip with an original plot and perfidious twists. Shot on 35mm, this stars Euphoria's star Hunter Schafer alongside a brilliant and terrifying Dan Stevens. The full cast also includes Jessica Henwick, Marton Csókás, Jan Bluthardt, Greta Fernández, Konrad Singer, Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey, & Proschat Madani. I loved this film (read my review)!! It's a blast. Eerie and weird and fun and clever. Get ready for a damn good time.
Here's the full official trailer (+ poster) for Tilman Singer's film Cuckoo, direct from Neon's YouTube:

You can rewatch the festival teaser for Tilman Singer's Cuckoo horror right here, for the first look again.
Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family. Arriving at their future residence, they are greeted by Mr. König, her father's boss, who takes an inexplicable interest in Gretchen's mute half-sister Alma. Something doesn't seem right in this tranquil vacation paradise. Gretchen is plagued by strange noises and bloody visions until she discovers a shocking secret that also concerns her own family. Cuckoo is both written and directed by German genre filmmaker Tilman Singer, making their second feature film after directing Luz previously, plus a few other shorts. It's produced by Markus Halberschmidt, Josh Rosenbaum, Maria Tsigka, Ken Kao, and Thor Bradwell. It just premiered at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival (my review). Neon will debut Singer's Cuckoo in select US theaters starting August 9th, 2024 this summer. Who's in?
“Euphoria” breakout Hunter Schafer is playing yet another teen trying to outrun her familial drama, except this time, it’s a surreal matter of life or death. Schafer leads “Cuckoo,” written and directed by “Luz” filmmaker Tilman Singer.
Six years after Singer’s 2018 feature debut, “Cuckoo” centers on 17-year-old Gretchen (Schafer) who is forced to leave her American home to live with her father (Márton Csókás) in a resort in the German Alps with his new wife (Jessica Henwick) and family. Yet it’s her father’s boss Mr. Konig (Dan Stevens) and his obsession with Gretchen’s mute half-sister Alma (Mila Lieu) that unlocks a larger, more sinister presence at the resort. Gretchen becomes haunted by strange noises and bloody visions until she discovers a shocking secret that also concerns her own family. Jan Bluthardt and Greta Fernandez also star in the horror film.

“Cuckoo” was shot on 35mm and premiered at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival and had its North American premiere at the 2024 SXSW Film & TV Festival. The Neon feature is produced by Markus Halberschmidt, Josh Rosenbaum, Maria Tsigka, Ken Kao, Thor Bradwell, and Ben Rimmer.
Boutique studio Neon recently inked a strategic financial partnership with “Cuckoo” producer Kao’s Waypoint Entertainment in March 2024. The upcoming films as part of the deal are slated to be indies in the $10 million budget range, a type of film that “often gets overlooked by studios and streamers,” according to Kao. “Cuckoo” is the first film collaboration between Neon and Waypoint.
Schafer will next appear in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness” and David Lowery’s “Mother Mary,” which co-stars Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, Kaia Gerber, and Jessica Brown-Findlay. Schafer told IndieWire that audiences will be “mind-blown” at “Mother Mary” which follows a pop star (Hathaway) who has a twisted romantic relationship with a fashion designer (Coel).
Schafer plays Hilda, the personal assistant to Coel’s co-lead character. The film is slated to be a epic pop melodrama and features original songs by Jack Antonoff and Charli XCX. “It was a lot of fun and I think people are going to be mind-blown,” Schafer told IndieWire of the A24 film. “I was mind-blown.”
“Cuckoo” hits theaters on Friday, August 9. Check out the film’s first trailer below.

Director Tilman Singer brings the chilling world of Cuckoo to life, promising a terrifying experience for viewers.
A new trailer for Cuckoo has been released by NEON, and the upcoming thriller promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The movie written and directed by Tilman Singer will follow the story of Gretchen (Hunter Schafer) as she moves to a new home. The uncertainty regarding her future only grows as soon as she notices that a strange man is obsessed with her half-sister. With the clock running against her, the protagonist of the story will have to do everything in her power to keep herself and her half-sister safe.
The new trailer for Cuckoo focuses on the horrifying aspects of the upcoming narrative. The premise in the new trailer is presented in a way that highlights the relationship between Gretchen and the Hooded Woman (Kalin Morrow). The strange entity seems to appear wherever the young girl goes. The upcoming film will also feature performances from Jessica Henwick and Dan Stevens, but the Hooded Woman's presence will be what defines Gretchen's fate when all is said and done. Cuckoo held its world premiere during this year's edition of the Berlin International Film Festival, and it will make its way to theaters in the United States on August 9.
Hunter Schafer is known for portraying Jules Vaughn in Euphoria, but her performance in Cuckoo will allow her to explore a very different tone than the one seen in the successful HBO teen drama. Through Kinds of Kindness and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Schafer has taken on a wide variety of roles that don't resemble one another. And the trend will continue once Cuckoo hits the big screen. The upcoming horror thriller will also allow Dan Stevens to expand upon the best year of his career, after starring in titles such as Godzilla x Kong: A New Empire and Abigail.
The Director Behind 'Cuckoo'
The horror of Cuckoo doesn't come to life without Tilman Singer. The filmmaker both wrote and directed the movie, which is set to take Gretchen through a living hell worthy of the industry's most legendary scream queens. Before diving deep into the world of Cuckoo, Singer worked on a couple of short films that would pave the way for his transition to the big leagues. The upcoming thriller is also a part of NEON's strong slate for the remainder of the year, which includes the current Palme d'Or winner, Anora.

ROBBIN Trailer (2024) Serayah, Thriller Movie
© 2024 - Tubi
"Either make your move... or step off!" Tubi Movies has revealed the official trailer for Robbin, a revenge thriller from filmmaker Chris Stokes. This Tubi creation will be streaming on Tubi next month - and it's not even the first movie this year from Stokes debuting on Tubi (he also made I Hate You to Death). Stokes went from being a music manager to working as a filmmaker, directing House Party 4 and You Got Served before going on to become a Tubi regular, creating Tubi movies by the dozen for the free streaming service. In this one, fresh out of jail for crimes she didn't commit, a banker seeks revenge by enlisting her closest friends to help her rob banks and get justice. So another modern day spin on Robin Hood, hence this "Robbin'" title? Singer / actress Serayah stars, along with Erica Pinkett and Lawrence Robinson. This looks extremely cheesy and extremely cheap, but hey, that's what Tubi is known for anyway. Some will find this entertaining.
Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Chris Stokes' Robbin, direct from YouTube:
Robbin Poster
Fresh out of jail for crimes she didn’t commit, a young banker (Serayah) seeks revenge by enlisting her closest friends to help her rob banks and get justice. Robbin is directed by American producer / writer / filmmaker Chris Stokes (aka Christopher B. Stokes), a former music exec / manager (founder of the record label the Ultimate Group in 1997) who turned to filmmaking instead - he has directed many, many movies since 2004 including House Party 4, You Got Served, Somebody Help Me 1 & 2, Battlefield America, The Helpers, 'Til Death Do Us Part, Running Out Of Time, Sacrifice, The Stepmother 1 & 2 & 3, Assistant, Best Friend, You're Not Alone, Rock the Boat, Vicious Affair, Still Here, I Hate You to Death, Forever Us, The Stepdaughter, Snatched, and Rock the Boat 1 & 2 previously. No screenwriter credit is currently available. It's produced by Juanita Stokes; executive produced by Marques Houston and Chris Stokes. Tubi will debut Stokes' Robbin movie streaming on Tubi starting August 10th, 2024 this summer. Who wants to watch?
Are you prepared for a wild and exciting journey of vengeance, justice, and daring criminal escapades? Chris Stokes is the director of many amazing movies and now the movie ‘Robbin' is his new invention which is supposed to out on Tubi on the 10th of August, 2024. This time around it is Serayah, who takes the centre stage as she portrays the life of a young banker out of jail due to crimes she did not commit.
A Star-Studded Cast and Crew
I was intrigued by ‘Robbin' that has an all-star cast with Serayah McIntosh in the lead followed by Erica Pinkett and Lawrence Robinson. Serayah is famous for acting and singing, and she also does a great job here; the audience will be on her side no matter what. Juanita Stokes was the movie's producer while Marques Houston and Chris Stokes were the executive producers showing that quality production was a top priority.
A Director with a Proven Track Record
Chris Stokes has one of the most illustrious careers in music management and has gone on to create a name for himself in the film industry. Some of his previous works include ‘House Party 4' and ‘You Got Served' which are some of the favorite movies of the fans as well as proving his skill in cattle herding. With ‘Robbin', Stokes remains consistent with his portfolio as a productive and ranging director for Tubi movies as he has done for other few years.
Plot and Premise
In ‘Robbin', Serayah plays a role of a woman who desires to get revenge after serving time in jail for a crime she did not commit. Together with her friends, she designs and performs several robberies of various banks with the evident purpose of regaining an independent life and receiving compensation for the injustice done. The film is a contemporary rendition of the legendary Robin Hood story with the blend of action, drama and a heroic mission making the film interesting and worthwhile to watch.
Why ‘Robbin' is a Must-Watch
Being an OTT platform, Tubi has gained a reputation for streaming entertaining content, and ‘Robbin' is more of the same. If love brands Tubi films as cheesy, or low budget, there is a certain appeal, and a certain kind of honesty that fans are drawn to. But ‘Robbin' will also offer not only intense action and thrills, but also the story of the girl's fight for a second chance to be happy and to live life to the fullest, which will make viewers sit through MLS.
Mark Your Calendar
Don't miss out on this thrilling ride! ‘Robbin' starts streaming on Tubi from August 10th, 2024. Whether you're a fan of action-packed heist movies or simply looking for a gripping story, ‘Robbin' is set to deliver on all fronts. So, make sure to mark your calendar and get ready for a cinematic experience that blends drama, action, and an unforgettable quest for justice.
"This ain't no game, Geena, I don't want you messin' with them." Vertical has revealed an official trailer for an indie film titled Catching Dust, which first premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival last year. The film marks the feature directorial debut of British filmmaker Stuart Gatt after a few other shorts, and opens in the US in August. As Geena decides to leave her criminal husband Clyde and their isolated Texas hideout, a couple from NY suddenly arrive with a trailer. Ignoring the risks, she convinces Clyde to let them stay, a decision that leads to dangerous consequences for everyone involved. Tribeca adds: "In this fascinating look at how couples sustain relationships, even in the face of erosion and dismay, audiences will grapple with the friction of romantic pursuits and conflicting friendships as much as Geena and Clyde do in Stuart Gatt's directorial debut." The indie movie stars Erin Moriarty, Dina Shihabi, Ryan Corr, and Jai Courtney. This looks like it's a dusty thriller about two couples with so many buried secrets they can't contain them all.
Here's the main official trailer for Stuart Gatt's film Catching Dust, direct from Vertical's YouTube:
Catching Dust Film
Via Tribeca: "Erin Moriarty stars as Geena, an artist and painter ready to dream big, tired of the malaise of living in the harsh Big Bend desert with controlling partner Clyde (Jai Courtney). At her wit's end, she's preparing to leave when a new couple shows up at the commune in a trailer from New York, eager to make a new life for themselves away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Things quickly turn dangerous for both couples as tensions boil over; egos come to a head as attempts to connect leave everyone frayed and on the edge of disaster." Catching Dust is written and directed by British indie filmmaker Stuart Gatt, making his feature directorial debut after a few other short films previously. Produced by Mark David, Jon Katz, Edward R. Pressman, Stuart Gatt. This initially premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival last year. Vertical will debut Catching Dust in select US theaters + on VOD starting August 23rd, 2024. Intrigued?
