In his exclusive uInterview, actor Larry Owens spoke about working with Tilda Swinton, calling her “the warmest person,” on their new film Problemista.

When asked about his most memorable moment from the shoot Owens immediately replied with “reading the script” because he feels it was where the creativity starts.

“Reading the script was the biggest moment because that’s where your imagination goes wild and that’s where the story begins.”

He continued to explain that this movie is for people who have active imaginations and that they will be able to relate to the story personally.

“It’s about like people who use their imagination and that’s going to be a lot of the audience members, who like need to hear this story but they’re hearing it from the best place,” he said.

Owens recalled meeting fellow castmate Swinton at the South by Southwest film festival in Austin,...

RZA spoke about his Problemista director and castmate Julio Torres in his exclusive uInterview.

RZA spoke about the meaning of the odd film title.

“Well, by the end of the day, we all got a lot of problems,” RZA told uInterview at SXSW in Austin, Texas. “You better try to solve them, you know what I mean. And don’t be that mouse going through that maze and not figuring your way out. Take that.”

He believes that Torres has his problems figured out.

“Julio got it packed down y’all, he got it down,” he said flatly.

RZA stars as the husband of Elizabeth, played by Tilda Swinton, who is an artist who has passed away.

Torres plays Alejandro, the main character, who is an aspiring toy designer who goes on a journey trying to figure out how to stay in the United States when his visa expires. He...

Rauw Alejandro is in his post-breakup, sad boi era — and he just dropped a song dedicated to Rosalía that we could’ve all lived without. On Thursday, the Puerto Rican reggaetonero surprise-released “Hayami Hana,” dedicated to his ex-fiancée, detailing, in rap verses, the “things he wants to get off his chest” after their split.

Alejandro takes a few lines to express how much he loved his Motomami‘s “flaws and qualities,” before assuring: “I don’t blame you. The life we live isn’t for everyone: the press, social media,...

"The Mask of Zorro" is now 25 years old, though you might not know by watching it. Director Martin Campbell's 1998 film is a sexy, high-octane swashbuckler that, along with filmmaker Stephen Sommers' remake of "The Mummy," was likely responsible for the bisexual awakening of an entire generation in the late '90s. Leads Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones certainly light up the screen as newbie Zorro-in-training, Alejandro, and his predecessor's daughter, Elena, whether they're cutting a rug across the dance floor or mixing swordplay with flirtation. Then there's the breathtaking practical stunts and set pieces, which Campbell stages with the utmost elegance in collaboration with his cast and crew -- not least of all his longtime director of photography Phil Méheux, who imbues the film with a visual grandiosity befitting of a Western epic.

More than anything, it's the film's practical approach that keeps it feeling timeless. Campbell, who had...

Rosalía is sharing her heartbreak.

Earlier this month, People reported that the Spanish singer had called off her engagement to Rauw Alejandro, and now she is speaking out about the news.

“I love, respect and admire Rauw. I’m not paying attention to the movies. We know what we lived,” she said in a statement on her Instagram Story, as translated from Spanish

The singer added, “This is not an easy moment, so thank you all for understanding and respecting,”

Rosalía’s statement came just a day after Alejandro addressed the reports, confirming their engagement had been called off, and shutting down rumours of infidelity.

“Yes, a few months ago, Rosi and I ended our engagement. There are thousands of problems that can cause a breakup but, in our case, it was not because of infidelity or a third person,...

No more “Vampiros” — it seems Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro might be over. At the end of July, sources told People that the power couple ended their relationship and highly public engagement after more than three years together.

Alejandro confirmed the separation on his Instagram a day later, describing his relationship with Rosalía as the “most real love story that God has let me live,” and denying cheating claims made on social media.

“Yes, a few months ago Rosi and I ended our engagement,” he said. “Thousands of problems can exist to cause a breakup,...

Rauw Alejandro shot down cheating claims as he released a statement following his recent split from Rosalía.

It was revealed earlier this week that the pair — who announced their engagement in their “Beso” music video back in March — had ended their relationship after three years together.

After noticing false rumours online, Alejandro took to Twitter to have his say.

He wrote in the message translated from Spanish, “Throughout all these years, you’ve been part of my professional accomplishments, as well as all the happy moments I lived with my partner,” Billboard reported.

“I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d have to give a public statement about such a private matter in my life.”

Alejandro continued, “Yes, a few months ago, Rosi and I ended our engagement.

Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro have called it quits after more than three years together.

People confirmed the couple had split after revealing their engagement in their “Beso” music video back in March.

Sources told the mag that “despite the love and respect the singers have for one another, they have both agreed to end their engagement.”

The former lovebirds were first romantically linked in August 2021, before they went public with their romance on social media the following month.

Billboard claimed earlier this year that they’d met at a Las Vegas hotel lounge during the 2019 Latin Grammys after months of messaging each other on Instagram.

Rauw Alejandro and Rosalía have ended their engagement. People confirmed the news on July 25. The stars have yet to publicly comment on the split. Representatives for Rosalía did not immediately respond to Popsugar's request for comment, and representatives for Alejandro could not be reached.

The music superstars first met at a Las Vegas hotel lounge during the 2019 Latin Grammys, and it was "100%" love at first sight for Alejandro, he told Billboard in March. After months of messaging each other on Instagram, the pair began dating, and they went public with their romance on Instagram in September 2021.

Two years later, Alejandro and Rosalía confirmed their engagement in a Pda-filled music video for their song "Beso." The track is part of a three-song EP, "Rr," which they released in March. Rosalía said of waiting to collaborate musically, "We wanted to make our relationship solid and build its foundations, and then, if music was meant to come,...

Actor-director Julio Torres didn’t appear in-person at the Outfest screening of his upcoming comedy Problemista, but he did send a message to the audience.

“Hello, fellow queers,” Torres began in a video that played before the start of Problemista on Saturday night. Before it rolled, the Lgbtqia+ film festival in Los Angeles explained that Torres recorded the message shortly before SAG-AFTRA went on strike on July 14, with instructions to play it if the walkout prevented him from attending the event.

“If you’re seeing this, it only means one thing and that is that my union went on strike. So, I am not there [at Outfest] in solidarity,” he said. “When picking a side between fellow artists and the interest of corporations and their millionaire, billionaire CEOs, the choice was, how do you say, uh, easy.”

Julio Torres and Tilda Swinton in ‘Problemista’

As Deadline reported exclusively on Friday, A24 has...

A24's Problemista is the latest film to feel the effects of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. The indie film, which premiered this March at the SXSW Film Festival to critical praise, was set to hit theaters August 4th. According to Deadline, who first reported the news, A24's postponement is an effort to help filmmaker Julio Torres, as independent films typically do best when their stars are available for press events.

Problemista marks Torres' directorial debut, and he stars in the film as Alejandro, a young immigrant artist desperate to find a co-signer for his visa so that he can remain in New York. Desperate, he turns to his frightening boss Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton), who agrees to help Alejandro in exchange for his help putting together an art exhibit. As Elizabeth, Swinton portrays a nightmarish art curator who makes Alejandro's journey to the American Dream a nightmarish experience.

Following the news that Luca Guadagnino’s Zendaya-led “Challengers” is being pushed to 2024, A24 has decided to pull Julio Torres’ feature directorial debut “Problemista” from its August release date. The films are a sign of likely more delays to come as studios aren’t eager to release new films during the double strike, with actors unavailable to promote them.

Torres wrote, directed and stars in “Problemista” as Alejandro, an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador who moves to New York City to fulfill his dream. But as the time on his work visa runs out, he takes a job as an assistant to an erratic art world outcast (played by Tilda Swinton).

The film is Torres’ take on the U.S. immigration system and the realities of the “American Dream,” all with his signature wit and charming comedic spin. A24 helped take the careers of Ari Aster (“Hereditary”), Lulu Wang...

“Problemista” has hit a problem with its theatrical release.

Distributor A24 has officially delayed the August 4 premiere of Julio Torres’ film, which debuted at 2023 SXSW. A new release date will be determined later; the news comes after Amazon pushed back Luca Guadagnino’s “Challengers” and Lionsgate delayed the release of “White Bird.” Deadline first reported on the “Problemista” delay, which IndieWire confirmed.

Deadline first reported that A24 opted to release “Problemista” once the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved so writer/director/actor Torres and co-star Tilda Swinton could be available to do press promoting the indie film. The rollout was slated to begin with a limited release while Torres was doing a press tour with screenings and Q&As. The film will still play at a sold-out Outfest showcase on Saturday in Los Angeles.

“Problemista” follows Alejandro (Torres), an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador who is struggling to bring...

Exclusive: In light of the current strikes, A24 is pausing the release of Julio Torres’ Problemista which was set to launch limited on Aug. 4. The new release date will be determined down the road. The studio is doing this to support filmmaker Torres, furthermore these awards-type indie movies need their stars, Tilda Swinton here, available to do press and raise such fare’s profile.

Problemista is the second August release after Lionsgate’s White Bird to move off its opening date; that pic originally scheduled for a limited release on Aug. 18. It’s obvious the SAG-AFTRA strike is having a more immediate upending impact than anticipated. Studios are able to pivot with these movies at the last minute as they do not have long-lead tentpole campaigns with big TV spends.

The movie made its world premiere out of SXSW where it notched 91% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

Rauw Alejandro's newly released "Playa Saturno," is the kind of album that's meant to be played on a hot summer day with the volume up, bass booming, and the sun shining. That's the perfect listening environment to enjoy it in, evoking images of palm tree lined-boulevards and gated marquesinas that were so crucial to reggaetón's evolution. Yet, these days, as the genre becomes more and more commercial, there is an ongoing polemic about where the line can be drawn between authentic reggaetón and pop music. But with "Playa Saturno," Alejandro aims to seamlessly toe that line, combining heavy-hitting beats that mine the more than two-decades-worth of the genre's history with his trademark crooner style and easy falsetto. And in the process, he proves that, despite his mainstream success, he is a reggaetonero through and through; one that truly understands the complexities of his genre and how to make people move.

Julio Torres, who has earned writing credits on over 60 episodes of Saturday Night Live and co-created the horror comedy series Los Espookys with Ana Fabrega and Fred Armisen, has made his directorial debut with the oddball comedy Problemista, which is set to receive a limited theatrical release from A24 on August 4th. A wide release will follow on August 25th. With those dates swiftly approaching, a new trailer for Problemista has arrived online, and you can check it out in the embed above.

Promising to take viewers on a “surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system”, Problemista has the following synopsis: Alejandro is an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City. As time on his work visa runs out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast becomes his only...

“Los Espookys” creator and star Julio Torres is headed for the big screen in the charming first trailer for his new film “Problemista,” which he wrote, stars in and directed for A24.

Torres plays Alejandro, an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador who moves to New York City to fulfill his dream. But as the time on his work visa runs out, he takes a job as an assistant to an erratic art world outcast (played by Tilda Swinton).

The film is Torres’ take on the U.S. immigration system and the realities of the “American Dream,” all with his signature wit and charming comedic spin. A24 helped take the careers of Ari Aster (“Hereditary”), Lulu Wang (“The Farewell”) and Janicza Bravo (“Zola”) to new heights, and the studio is coming off massive Oscar wins for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” so their track record certainly bodes well for Torres.

"Son, you're not getting deported." This is the story of Alejandro. A24 has revealed a second trailer for the indie comedy Problemista, marking the feature directorial debut of acclaimed comedian / actor / writer Julio Torres from El Salvador. This premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival earlier this year, and it will be in theaters starting in August - with a nationwide release on August 25th. Torres also stars as Alejandro - an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City. As time on his work visa runs out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast becomes his only hope to stay in the country and realize his dream. The SXSW smash features Tilda Swinton, RZA, Greta Lee, Catalina Saaverdra, James Scully, and narrated by Isabella Rosselini. This trailer also features the original song "Huele a Fraude" by Ohyung and Stefa. This...

Rauw Alejandro joined Argentine producer Bizarrap for an episode of his “Bzrp Music Sessions” YouTube series, which sees the pair collaborating on a new song.

The episode, “Rauw Alejandro: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 56,” was filmed in Biza’s recording studio and features a hook-laden electronic track. It sees Alejandro crooning about desire in a seriously sultry way: “I’m alone and you’re alone / you want to taste me and I want to eat you all.”

At the end of the clip, the duo tease another forthcoming track. The text hints: “Rauw Alejandro x Bizarrap,...

Lidia Morel's a part of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, and has successfully earned the villain title. The Dominican Republic native debuted in 90 Day Fiancé season 4, where she was a minor part of her son Pedro Jimeno's journey. At the time, she was a supporting cast member, and didn't leave much of an impression on viewers. In the following years, Lidia became a more prominent figure on the show, and a central part of her son's many problems. Her toxic behavior was infamous, and it sparked unnecessary drama between Pedro and Chantel Everett.

After Lidia's appearance on The Family Chantel, she was labeled as one of the worst mothers-in-law in reality TV history. There was some suggestion that she was directly responsible for her son's relationship issues, and ruined her daughter Nicole's life. In 2023, Lidia became a full-time reality TV star, and announced her debut on Love In Paradise: The Caribbean...

After the success of Motomami and last year’s summer hit “Despechá,” Rosalía is back with an all-new single: “Tuya,” and its music video, which was filmed in Japan.

“Exploring is part of who I am as a musician and in the case of ‘Tuya,’ inspirations such as reggaeton, Japanese instruments, flamenco and gabber techno coexist at the same level,” she said in a press release about the track.

In the visual, the singer walks the streets of Tokyo, her dog in arms, and roams the city with solo stops to eat ramen,...

On Love In Paradise: The Caribbean season 3, the most controversial couple, Pedro Jimeno's mom Lidia Morel and her American boyfriend Scott Wern, are sharing an update as the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off heads toward its finale. Lidia, who is a 56-year-old from the Dominican Republic and works as a lawyer for a living, found love overseas just like her son did with Chantel Everett. Amid news of Pedro wanting a divorce from Chantel, Lidia became the main character of her own show together with 51-year-old Florida man Scott. She was single for 12 years since leaving Pedro's dad.

Lidia's new boyfriend Scott is a registered respiratory therapist from Spring Hill and was previously married to his high school sweetheart for 25 years. If Lidia and Scott end up moving forward in their relationship, Lidia could move to the U.S. permanently to be with her single son, Pedro. Lidia used to be...

Everyone knows the world is full of wolves waiting to devour you whole. They lurk in the shadows, haunt your dreams, and salivate as they wait for you to stumble so they can make their move. Your only choice is to grow eyes in the back of your head, remain vigilant, and prepare yourself for what may come. In A24‘s Problemista trailer, a young man faces deportation unless he can rise above adversity and find a sponsor to help stave off the government hounds.

The Problemista trailer depicts a bizarre comedy, serving as the directorial debut of Los Espookys co-creator Julio Torres. In addition to directing the feature, Torres stars alongside Tilda Swinton as Alejandro, an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his ideas to life in New York City. Unfortunately for Alejandro, his work visa is about to expire. He must abandon his dream of...

“Why are you making everything so difficult?” Julio Torres asks Tilda Swinton in the trailer for the upcoming A24 comedy Problemista. That’s the central question in the film, which centers around his character’s struggle to achieve the American Dream.

In Problemista, Torres plays an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador named Alejandro who’s struggling to make it in New York City. As his work visa runs out, Alejandro’s job as an assistant to an erratic art world pariah named Elizabeth (Swinton) is his only hope to stay in the US.

The trailer shows Alejandro’s desperation to find someone to co-sign his visa, which leads him to ask Elizabeth to be his sponsor. She agrees in exchange for helping her curate an art exhibition, which sounds easy enough, but unfortunately, Alejandro still has to jump through hoops like paying “fees to earn money.”

One friend calls Elizabeth “a monster,...

A24 has released a trailer for Julio Torres' indie comedy Problemista. Torres writes and directs the film and stars as Alejandro, a young Salvadorian artist who must contend with a monster of a boss in his pursuit of the American Dream. As the trailer shows, Alejandro is a talented toy designer from El Salvador, now living in New York, whose work visa is about to expire. He has just one month to find someone willing to serve as a co-signer for his visa so that he can remain in the United States. In an act of desperation, he turns to his boss Elizabeth, played by Tilda Swinton, a quirky (to put it nicely) outcast art curator who makes a deal with Alejandro; she will act as a co-signer, but he must help her put together an art exhibition. The trailer, which you can watch below, teases a surrealist adventure.

Most people have had the experience of working with the boss from Hell who makes outrageous demands, flies off the handle, or generally crushes your spirit day in and day out. Tilda Swinton is that boss in the first trailer for Problemista, the new dramedy written, directed by, and starring Los Espookys co-creator Julio Torres. Torres plays Alejandro, an aspiring toy designer hailing from El Salvador who tries to make his way in New York City as his work visa nears expiration. In desperation, he starts assisting Swinton's eccentric art-world outcast whom he hopes will co-sign his work visa if he helps her put on an exhibition.

Tilda Swinton transforms once more for a role — this time into a deranged yet endearing art critic for Julio Torres’ satire “Problemista.”

For a movie with a definitive title like The Extortion, director Martino Zaidelis’ latest mystery-thriller has done a really impressive job. It is about Extortion, of course, but it is so much more than that. With a running time of nearly two hours, the movie does go off the rails at times, but its landing is pretty smooth overall. Even though it ties up all the threads pretty neatly, you might feel a little lost by the end. In this recap, I will try to help you out with that by taking a closer look at The Extortion.

“The Extortion” is backed by a pedigreed combo of Particular Crowd, Oscar winner Juan José Campanella’s 100 Bars, “Argentina, 1985” producer Infinity Hill and producer-service company Cimarrón Cine.

Headlined by Guillermo Francella, memorable in Campanella’s Academy Award winning “The Secret in Their Eyes” and star of Pablo Trapero’s “The Clan,” “The Extortion” turns on Alejandro, a pilot with a secret. Blackmailed by sinister intelligence service agents, he is plunged into a world of intrigue and corruption from which he will battle to escape alive.

Yuji Kaku's dark fantasy shonen series Hell's Paradise has finally been adapted into an anime by powerhouse studio Mappa. The series follows Gabimaru the Hollow, a ninja sentenced to death after being betrayed by his village. Accompanied by an executioner named Yamada Asaemon Sagiri, the pair travel to a mysterious island rumored to house the elusive Elixir of Life. Should Gabimaru return with the Elixir alive, he'll be granted a pardon allowing him to live his life freely.

In an interview with Cbr, English voice actors Alejandro Saab and Marisa Duran discussed their favorite aspects of Hell's Paradise, the unlikely friendship between Gabimaru and Sagiri, and what it was like to reunite on a much grittier project after their time on Horimiya.

There has been a whirlwind of breakout shonen anime during the past year and Yuji Kaku’s bold, bloody survivalist series, Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku, finally has a gorgeous anime adaptation courtesy of Mappa and it’s truly hit the ground running when it comes to its blade-wielding, demon-slaying, immortality-seeking mayhem. Hell’s Paradise kicks off with an explosive start as legendary assassin Gabimaru finds himself joined at the hip to his cold executioner, Yamada Asaemon Sagiri, who becomes his escort on a hunt for eternal life on an island that’s full of murderous monsters.

Audiences are already calling Hell’s Paradise one of the best anime of the season and a lot of this has to do with the effortless chemistry that’s present between this anime odd couple, Gabimaru and Sagiri. The casting of these crucial roles is paramount, but Alejandro Saab and Marisa Duran rise to the occasion and...

Mappa's latest anime, Hell's Paradise, delivers another wildly entertaining adaptation of a great series filled with action, heart, and stunning animation. Hell's Paradise centers on a frighteningly powerful assassin, Gabimaru, and his executioner, Sagiri, having to work together in a race against other killers in pursuit of a legendary elixir hidden on a mysterious island filled with beauty and monsters. Alejandro Saab and Marisa Duran voice Gabimaru and Sagiri for the English dub of Hell's Paradise, but it's not the first time the pair have worked together.

Saab and Duran have helped bring many great characters to life. Their voices can be heard in the romantic comedy Horimiya as the two lead characters, and both can also be heard in series like Attack on Titan, Vinland Saga, and several other series and video games. Still, it feels unreal for both of them to be voicing two main characters for...

It’s like a Mexican E.T. featuring a mythical dog-thing with wings. Charming kids’ movie Chupa, directed by Gravity writer Jonás Cuarón, is the story of a young boy called Alejandro (Evan Whitten) whose father has died, who travels to Mexico to stay with his grandfather (Demián Bichir) and cousins and befriends a strange creature.

Two new operators are on their way to Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 in Season 3 for players to unlock, the mysterious Valeria Garza and soldier Alejandro Vargas from Modern Warfare 2's campaign. Perhaps the most anticipated operators seen yet, players will no doubt be interested in seeing these two again after the events of their game. With new modes being added to shake things up in Season 3, Alejandro and Valeria will be welcome characters to see in the changing scope of Warzone 2.

As of this time of writing, the Season 3 Battle Pass is set to release on April 12th, 2023 along with other rewards in certain Sector tiers. Different weapons, cosmetics, and other earnings will be available, probably in the same fashion as the ranks and rewards from Warzone 2's Season 2 Battle Pass. However, Operators typically are unlocked differently, meaning players will have to acquire Valeria and Alejandro outside just progressing through the Battle Pass.

“Chupa” is a Netflix movie directed by Jonas Cuaron and released on April 7, 2023.

Nevertheless, his mother offers him a trip to...

When it comes to live performances, Rauw Alejandro sure knows how to deliver. He goes well beyond what's generally expected of a music artist, featuring special guests and running through both recent songs and past hit-makers for nearly three hours.

But perhaps more than anything else, the Puerto Rican reggaeton and Latin trap artist puts on a show like no other because he can dance - like, really dance. Think: b-boy moves and freestyle formations. But it's not just of his own accord; like others, he has a team of creative geniuses who have helped make his star shine bright.

While Alejandro, 30, has always had a natural talent for dancing, he began honing his craft after working with the founders of the dance company Fede Enterprises, choreographers Felix "FeFe" Burgos and Denise Yuri-Disla. The married couple travel the world teaching classes and choreographing for artists, and they've undeniably helped Alejandro...
