Jason Momoa declares his love for Aquaman and acting while hosting SNL. Momoa's love for acting began when he returned to Hawaii and landed a role on Baywatch, leading toward his rise to prominence in shows like Game of Thrones and Stargate: Atlantis. Director Zack Snyder cast him as Aquaman because he was a fan of Momoa's performance as Khal Drogo on Got.

Jason Momoa is loving life. With the cessation of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike, the actor made his second appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL) as the show’s host. And Momoa declared his love for portraying the King of Atlantis in front of a live studio audience. Momoa said during his opening monologue (per SNL):

"I love playing Aquaman because I love the ocean. It's true. Growing up, all I wanted to be was a marine biologist, which...

On Aug. 8, wildfires exploded across the Hawaiian island of Maui, burning entire neighborhoods and forcing thousands of people to flee their homes. A series of fires broke out across the island over four days, creating billions of dollars of damage, scorching thousands of acres, and killing at least 115 people, per the Associated Press. The fires have destroyed entire communities, ruining countless livelihoods, leaving hospitals overflowing with burn victims, and forcing thousands of people into shelters, according to CNN.

On Aug. 31, Dwayne Johnson and Oprah Winfrey announced that they'd come together to support recovery efforts by kicking off a new fund with a $10 million donation. The fund, called The People's Fund of Maui, will provide Hawaii residents above the age of 18 who were affected by the fires with a monthly $1,200 stipend. The fund was created with "guidance, insights, and the blessing of community elders, leaders and residents including Hōkūulani Holt-Padilla, Keali'i Reichel,...

In response to the devastating wildfires and immediate needs in the community, Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne Johnson announced the establishment of “People’s Fund of Maui” to distribute cash directly to those who were displaced and affected by the fire.

The fund is launching with an initial $10 million donated by Winfrey and Johnson and a call to action for others to contribute to this meaningful and ongoing relief effort.

Collaborating closely with an esteemed advisory board and support from the local community and respected elders, this new fund will serve as a bridge to provide cash directly to the families and individuals affected so that they can personally determine how best to use the funds for themselves. Every adult resident (18 and over) who lives in the affected area and was displaced by the wildfires in Lahaina and Kula is eligible to receive $1,200 per month to help them through this period of recovery.

Fire-ravaged Maui is getting a boost from two big stars.

On Thursday, Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne Johnson announced that they have joined forces to launch the People’s Fund of Maui to help those impacted by the recent wildfires.

“I have been meeting with people throughout the community that were impacted by the fires over the last few weeks, asking what they most needed and how I could be of service,” said Winfrey in a statement to Variety.

“The main thing I’ve been hearing is their concern about how to move forward under the immense financial burden,” she said. “The community has come together in so many wonderful ways, and my intention is to support those impacted as they determine what rebuilding looks like for them.

Nearly one month after ravenous wildfires swept through the Hawaiian island of Maui, families and individuals impacted by the natural disaster are still in need of extensive support. Over 100 people have died from the fires, hundreds remain missing or unaccounted for, and thousands more have been displaced. The People’s Fund of Maui, launched by Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne Johnson with an initial donation of $10 million, aims to provide support for many of these affected residents.

Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne Johnson have established the People’s Fund of Maui, which will distribute cash directly to those who were impacted by the wildfires that devastated Lahaina and other parts of the island.

Winfrey and Johnson donated $10 million to launch the fund.

The fund “will serve as a bridge to provide cash directly to the families and individuals affected so that they can personally determine how best to use the funds for themselves,” according to organizers in their announcement. Residents 18 and over who live in the affected area and who were displaced in the wildfires in Lahaina and Kula will be eligible to receive $1,200 per month to help then get through the period of recovery.

Contributions to the People’s Fund can be made here. More information for impacted residents is here.

Police say that 115 people died in the fires, the largest number of fatalities in a wildfire in more than a century.

Warner Bros.' Point Break remake, arriving this Christmas, takes the same premise of the original classic, featuring an FBI agent going undercover to infiltrate a highly-trained group of thieves. However, instead of the surfing world, the criminals in this remake are all extreme sports athletes, ranging from snowboarding, rock climbing, big wave surfing and much more. Today, Warner Bros. has released a new preview which examines one of these extreme sports, motocross.

Director Ericson Core explains that the motocross sequences were shot in Swingarm City, Utah, which he describes as "the Holy Grail of American motocross riding." We also hear from star Luke Bracey, who plays Johnny Utah in the remake, and actual motocross racer Steve Haughelstine, who explains that no one had ever ridden these "spines" before, and that the racers were getting dangerously close to the cameras during production. This motocross sequence in the film is part...

Following the first trailer from May and an action-packed preview released last week, Warner Bros. has debuted the second full trailer for their Point Break remake, arriving in theaters Christmas Day. Edgar Ramirez stars as the enigmatic Bodhi, who leads a group of thieves that have a far different agenda than most criminals. Luke Bracey plays FBI agent Johnny Utah, who infiltrates Bodhi's group and learns about their path to enlightenment.

You may recall that the first Point Break poster revealed a group of skydivers watching a huge pallet full of money plummet to the ground. We get to see how this scene unfolds in the new footage, which reveals that Bodhi and his crew need to "give more than they take," as he dumps millions of dollars on an unsuspecting village. In addition to the trailer, we also have even more posters which showcase some of the extreme sports in the remake.

In Alcon Entertainment’s fast-paced, high-adrenaline action thriller Point Break, a young FBI agent, Johnny Utah (Luke Bracey), infiltrates a cunning team of thrill-seeking elite athletes – led by the charismatic Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez). The athletes are suspected of carrying out a spate of crimes in extremely unusual ways.

Deep undercover, and with his life in imminent danger, Utah strives to prove they are the architects of this string of inconceivable crimes.

The film, inspired by the classic 1991 hit starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves, is scheduled for release in 3D and 2D in select theaters on December 25, 2015.

Check out the new trailer and featurette below.

The film is replete with the most daring athleticism ever seen in a motion picture. These action adventure feats are performed by elite athletes representing the world’s best in class in big-wave surfing, wingsuit flying, sheer-face snowboarding, free rock climbing, and high-speed motorcycling.

Ever since the Point Break remake was announced, we learned that this new version of Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 classic will still feature Johnny Utah and Bodhi, only this time the story will be set within the world of extreme sports, not just surfing. The first poster released back in May featured a skydiver chasing after a huge pile of money, but today, Warner Bros. released a new one-sheet that brings the remake back to its roots, showcasing the new Utah (Luke Bracey) and Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez) riding a massive wave. The original poster came just one day before the first trailer arrived, so that could mean the second trailer is just around the corner.

The problem with the new Point Break remake has nothing to do with your inability to grow-up. It's doing nothing to your childhood unless you still identify with a man and his mullet. Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 original is still a great film for those of us that saw it when it was released and the fact it was remade into The Fast and The Furious ten years later and is now being remade just shy of 25 years after its original release simply means they're looking to bring a similar story to a new kind of audience, and I'm actually interested in the story they are aiming to tell. As was evident in the trailer and described in the film's plot synopsis, the gang of criminal rogues led by a man named Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez) are killing whoever may be in their way toward "liberating" the world's riches, sending the global economy into a tailspin.

After a look at the first poster and a couple of teasers earlier today, the first official trailer for the Point Break remake arrives for you to give either a "yay" or "nay".

Apparently the first look at the upcoming Point Break remake from director Ericson Core was shown during CinemaCon down in Las Vegas yesterday and with that comes the first looks at Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez in the film playing FBI agent Johnny Utah and extreme sports enthusiast and criminal Bodhi respectively. The duo are playing roles made popular by Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze in Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 film, and for many this remake is completely unnecessary, but it's set to arrive on December 25 nonetheless. One week after Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, which is to say... we'll see how this turns out. This updated version will follow a similar premise as the first as a young FBI agent, Johnny Utah (Bracey), infiltrates a cunning team of thrill seeking elite athletes, led by the charismatic Bodhi (Ramirez).

"Hereafter"

(Warner Bros.)

Release date: Oct. 22

For three days in January, director Clint Eastwood transformed Maui's coveted tourist areas of Lahaina and Kanapali into the site of "Hereafter's" most intense action sequence. "When I saw the trailer, I thought, 'My God, our poor Front Street has been destroyed!' " says Maui Film Office commissioner Benita Brazier of the startling scene in which a tsunami washes through an open-air market. "Thankfully it was done with CGI," she says. Although Eastwood and company were only on site for three days, they employed 100 locals during the shoot. "It was big for the island," Brazier says.
