A24 Gives Robert Pattinson a Russian Nesting Doll Set (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Robert Pattinson is not only one of the best actors working today, he’s also one of the most interesting. The former Twilight star has leading man good looks. Yet, when it comes to choosing movies, he constantly makes delightfully weird and unexpected choices. That’s also an apt description for many of his performances in those movies. He could exclusively be doing standard rom-coms and traditional action movies. Instead, even as Bruce Wayne, he’s an enigma hiding inside a classically attractive
Alan Ritchson Joins Justin Lin's HELLDIVERS, Release Pushed to 2028 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earlier this year, Jason Momoa unexpectedly dropped out of Sony’s Helldivers adaptation. His departure did not sink the live-action project, though. The studio and director Justin Lin were continuing on with their quest to bring freedom to the universe. But obviously they had some pretty big shoes to fill without their former leading star. How would they do that? By finding another large man. Reacher‘s Alan Ritchson has signed on to star in Helldivers, which will now hit theaters in 2028. Follow
EBENEZER Releases the Year's Worst Trailer (opens the original)

It’s about a whale eating a guy who then tries to escape the whale that ate him. Only it’s not a comedy. Only the film’s trailers all play like comedies. It’s great and I love everything about it. So obviously I am all-in on the movie’s popcorn bucket, because it’s a giant whale that will let me, a guy, eat out of a whale while watching a whale eat a guy. Even better? Special
TED: THE ANIMATED SERIES First Teaser Is Full of Cheeky Fun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kid, you ah not gonna believe this news. It’s, like, wicked good. Everyone’s favorite sentient teddy bear is returning to TV in a very different form. He’s going to be a cartoon. And the first teaser for TED: The Animated Series promises the show is going to enjoy the the unlimited freedom of animation. Earlier this year, Seth MacFarlane said that, despite being Peacock’s most-watched show ever, there were “no plans” for a third season of TED. But two months after that disappointing announcement
