If Noah Hawley had listened to Ridley Scott’s advice, Alien: Earth’s pilot episode, Neverland, might have been very different from its current release. To all Alien connoisseurs, Scott’s original vision for his 1979 film, Alien, was to kill Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and let the Xenomorph mimic her voice while en route to Earth.

This concept did not sit well with Hawley, so he decided to drop it and go with the original plan that he had in his creative mind. Moreover, there are many instances where the first TV show of the franchise did not incorporate its futuristic and forward storyline.

Though there are innumerable movies on this concept, just the mere thought of body snatchers seems to be terrifying. Imagine if we’d witnessed such an ending to the beloved film,...

After conquering the box office in the U.S. and making a half-a-billion-dollar run across the world, the new Superman movie is finally ready to land in our homes. Earlier this week, Warner Bros. revealed that the movie's home release will be a hefty one with plenty of featurettes. For those who can't wait any longer, though, the movie will become available to own or rent digitally tomorrow. To celebrate the release, Collider can exclusively reveal a thrilling scene from the new DC movie.

If you checked Superman out in movie theaters, you will recognize the portal scene below. In it, Clark (David Corenswet) is having a difficult moment in which he needs to keep an alien baby alive while trying not to get sucked into a black hole. He desperately calls for Krypto's help, but the super-dog isn't exactly aware of what is going on with his Kryptonian friend.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have always been one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples, known for their whirlwind romance and headline-grabbing Pda. But when it comes to the question on everyone’s minds, who’s actually richer in 2025?

Well, the answer is pretty clear. Gun Kelly, aka Colson Baker, takes the lead, leaving Fox’s trailing behind. It turns out that Mgk’s success in music, acting, and even directing has given him a clear edge. Meanwhile, Fox, a veteran actress famous for hits like Transformers and Jennifer’s Body, has had her fair share of the spotlight, but her net worth hasn’t quite caught up to Mgk’s diverse hustle yet.

Whether they’re vacationing with their daughter Saga Blade or fueling breakup-and-makeup rumors, their financial game shows Mgk currently holds the richer title. So, if you’re curious about the breakdown of their earnings, investments, and...

Helene Klodawsky’s Stolen Time begins not with a bang but with a question of accounting, the coldest form of horror. The film introduces a world where human life is a line item on a balance sheet, its value depreciating with age. Here, the for-profit long-term care industry operates in the shadows, a bureaucratic labyrinth designed to extract wealth from the vulnerable.

Our guide into this abyss is lawyer Melissa Miller, a figure of relentless determination. She is less a white knight and more a hardboiled detective, driven to expose a rot that permeates the highest levels of corporate and political power.

Her quest is a slow, methodical assembly of evidence against an enemy that is everywhere and nowhere at once. The central conflict is established immediately: one woman’s methodical pursuit of justice against a vast, faceless system built on the quiet, sanctioned suffering of the elderly. It is a modern noir,...

The John Wick film series is one of the most popular action franchises in the world. The thriller series revolves around John Wick, as the title clearly suggests, who has been played by Keanu Reeves since the start. The character is a retired hitman who is pulled into the criminal underworld.

The first film was released in October 2014, and since then, its success has only increased. Four films and eleven years later, Keanu Reeves has turned 60 years old, and his body is not what it used to be. According to a report, this is why he has been setting limitations for what he can do in John Wick 5.

Megan Fox Upcoming Movies 2025 (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

Whether it’s her breakthrough performance as Mikaela in Transformers, the eerie charm of Jennifer’s Body, or her tough-as-nails role in Rogue, it isn’t easy to think of Megan Fox without instantly picturing one of her many iconic roles. Fox has demonstrated over the years that she can play a variety of roles, which makes her a dependable on-screen persona that viewers adore supporting. Since 2025 has already crossed its halfway point, fans are wondering what Megan Fox films are lined up next.

Megan Fox New Movies Coming Up?

Well, for now, sadly, Fox doesn’t have any feature films officially lined up for release in 2025. Her last project was Subservience, a sci-fi thriller that hit screens in 2024. Since then, she has been evidently missing from the big screens. But that doesn’t mean she’s disappeared from the spotlight entirely.

Amanda Seyfried recently called out Hollywood's increasing reliance on sequels...even as she admitted her willingness to return for another installment in her most popular franchise. During a conversation with Rachel Brosnahan for Interview Magazine, the two actresses discussed this summer's most anticipated releases, and the conversation ventured into the two speaking of sequels they'd be interested in appearing in. When Brosnahan asked Seyfried, "What's our Barbenheimer between 'Fantastic Four,' 'Jurassic Park,' and 'Superman'?"

Seyfried responded with a few suggestions before reflecting on the "fatigue" currently felt in the industry (and audiences) with constant sequels...before quickly declaring that she would return for a third installment in the Mamma Mia! franchise.

"It's Fantastic Super-park. It's Four Superparks. Four Dinosaurs. Four Super Dinosaurs. I don't know!" She added: "I will say, there's a little bit of fatigue with sequels. I want original content. I think...

In a candid conversation with Rachel Brosnahan for Interview magazine, Amanda Seyfried expressed frustration with Hollywood’s reliance on sequels, labeling them as money-driven.

“I will say, there’s a little bit of fatigue with sequels,” she said. “I want original content. I think it’s really scary and brave to do it. It’s not scary and not very brave to do sequels. It’s just for money and it’s frustrating. Then again, I’d do Mamma Mia 3 in a heartbeat.” Despite her critique, Seyfried admitted she’s starred in sequels like Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and Ted 2.

The discussion touched on this summer’s crowded lineup of franchise films, including Superman, Jurassic World Rebirth, and Fantastic Four. Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane in James Gunn’s Superman (set for July 2025), jokingly suggested a “Barbenheimer” mashup.

Amanda Seyfried and Rachel Brosnahan recently had a chat for Interview magazine, and they got real about Hollywood’s obsession with sequels. Seyfried didn’t hold back, even though she admitted she’s been part of it herself, starring in movies like Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and Ted 2.

She also said she’s still trying to get a Jennifer’s Body sequel made with Megan Fox.

During their conversation, Brosnahan brought up how packed this summer is with big franchise movies. She’s starring as Lois Lane in James Gunn’s new Superman, which hits theaters in July. At the same time, new Jurassic Park and Fantastic Four films are also coming out.

“We have Jurassic Park, Superman and Fantastic Four,” Brosnahan said. “What’s our Barbenheimer between Fantastic Four, Jurassic Park, and Superman? The people need you. Supertastic Park?”

Amanda Seyfried is reflecting on a 2013 interaction with Harvey Weinstein.

In a recent interview, the 39-year-old actress discussed inviting the now-disgraced film producer to the premiere of her 2013 movie Lovelace.

“Everybody admitted he was that way. Everybody knew he was. I didn’t know the extent, I had heard few rumors,” she told Adam Brody during the Variety Actors on Actors series.

Amanda said that while in Park City, Utah, over a decade ago, she approached Weinstein in his car and asked him if he was going to attend the premiere of Lovelace at the Sundance Film Festival. Apparently, he rescheduled his flight and attended the screening.

After the screening, Weinstein ended up approaching Amanda and acquired the project for $3 million for distribution, something which Amanda and her team celebrated at the time.

Is “Jennifer’s Body” ready to come off the ice?

The cult horror film starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried and Adam Brody is nearing its 20th anniversary, but sequel talk has moved at a steady clip in the years following its 2009 release. Seyfried and Brody, in contention for Emmy nominations this year, recently reunited for a roving “Actors on Actors” conversation where Variety got important updates on the second film.

“We’re making another one,” Seyfried told Brody definitively during their chat.

“I heard, what can you tell me?” he asked in return.

In the original movie, “Mamma Mia!” star Seyfried played Anita “Needy” Lesnicki, the wallflower best friend of bad girl Fox (the titular Jennifer). Brody played Nikolai, lead singer of the aspiring rock band Low Shoulder. When the girls head to a local dive bar to see them play, Brody’s character reveals bigger plans for his groupie...

How Did Megan Fox’s Jennifer’s Body Earn A Cult Classic Status? (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

When Jennifer’s Body was released in 2009, it was brushed off as another campy teen horror flick with nothing more to offer than Megan Fox’s beauty appeal. Critics weren’t kind, audiences were confused, and the studio’s marketing didn’t help. It was also considered a box office disappointment, earning only $31 million worldwide against a $16 million budget (via Box Office Mojo). But over a decade later, the story’s been rewritten, and Jennifer’s Body is now a full-blown cult classic. The movie, once labeled a flop, is being reclaimed by fans and critics as a brilliant, biting feminist horror film that was simply ahead of its time.

John Krasinski, Domhnall Gleeson and Natalie Portman in ‘Fountain of Youth’ (Photo Credit: Apple TV+)

Despite a big-name cast, Guy Ritchie’s latest action-adventure, Fountain of Youth, is a surprisingly shallow experience. The film tries for a fun, witty vibe but misses the mark entirely, coming off as a watered-down version of far better treasure-hunt movies. At its best, it’s a sort of National Treasure-lite, but those brief moments don’t come close to justifying the two-hour runtime, which feels like a real grind.

Four-time Emmy nominee John Krasinski’s normally able to lift average material, but not in this case. Oscar winner Natalie Portman also doesn’t inject anything special into the globe-trotting adventure. The fight scenes feel generic, and the stunts give off a serious “been there, done that” vibe. And Fountain of Youth‘s fantastical setups, while expected to be outlandish in this genre, are just...

Vicky Krieps have joined the cast of The Idiots, the upcoming feature by Polish filmmakers Małgorzata Szumowska and Michał Englert.

They join previously announced cast members Aimee Lou Wood and Johnny Flynn in the feature, which is being sold internationally by The Match Factory.

The Idiots is based on Andrew D. Kaufman’s 2021 novel The Gambler Wife: A True Story of Love, Risk, and the Woman Who Saved Dostoyevsky. The film will tell the story of Russian writer Dostoyevsky and his wife Anna on their honeymoon trip to Baden – the period in his life that inspired him to write The Idiot.

Milly Alcock will soon take flight as our new big-screen Girl of Steel in DC Studios' Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (though there's a chance the title has been changed to Supergirl) and it was her acclaimed turn as the younger version of Rhaenyra Targaryen in the first season of HBO's House of the Dragon that initially caught James Gunn's attention.

It seems not everyone involved with the series was quite as taken with Alcock's work, however.

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Alcock revealed that "someone very high up” on the Game of Thrones prequel series told her that she would be seeing an acting coach.

“On my second day on House of the Dragon, one of the... I’m not gonna say who, but someone very high up, pulled me aside and was like, ‘Um, we’re gonna get you an acting coach,’” the actress recalled.

It doesn’t seem like that long ago that Megan Fox was starring in the Transformers franchise, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Jennifer’s Body. Now she’s starring in Machine Gun Kelly videos and Till Death, a low-budget variation on Gerald’s Game. Hoping her taste in scripts was better than her taste in music I pressed play…

Emma (Megan Fox) is married to Mark who’s gone from prosecutor to sleazy defence attorney. How sleazy? He freely admits he’s happier making big money keeping scum like Bobby Ray, the man who mugged and nearly killed Emma out of jail than he was working hard to put them away. Innocent, guilty, who cares as long as they pay. Needless to say, it’s not the happiest of marriages.

Largely due to his role in The Boys, Jack Quaid has become one of the biggest up-and-coming stars in Hollywood. He’s had three new movies released just this year, one of which recently hit streaming and wasted no time finding success. Quaid stars alongside Prey veteran Amber Midthunder and Spider-Man star Jacob Batalon in Novocaine, the action film following a man who can’t feel pain out to rescue the girl of his dreams. Novocaine just hit Paramount+ a few days ago, and the film rocketed to the #1 spot on the streamer’s chart, even beating Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, which fans are flocking to to prepare for The Final Reckoning. Novocaine earned solid scores of 81% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and the audience-driven Popcornmeter sits at 85%.

Before Novocaine hit theaters, Quaid starred alongside Sophie Thatcher in Companion, the AI sci-fi thriller that recently began streaming on Max and,...

The Match Factory has come on board as sales agent for “The Idiots,” the new feature by Polish filmmakers Małgorzata Szumowska and Michał Englert.

The film stars “White Lotus” actor Aimee Lou Wood, a BAFTA winner for best female performance in a comedy program for “Sex Education,” alongside Johnny Flynn, nominated for the best supporting actor at the Critics Choice Award for his role in “Genius.”

The film’s principal photography is set to start next month.

The story is based on the novel “The Gambler Wife: A True Story of Love, Risk, and the Woman Who Saved Dostoyevsky” by Andrew D. Kaufman, published in 2021, which follows the lives of the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky and his wife Anna during a period that inspired him to write “The Idiot” – at the time a commercial flop, but today, considered one of the greatest novels in the history of literature.

The film follows...

Megan Fox has really never gotten a fair deal. I’m not going to relitigate decades of Hollywood misogyny, but know that I believe Fox is a more talented performer than her harshest critics would have you believe. After all, nothing in cult classic Jennifer’s Body works without her, and it’s a considerably more complex performance than “sexy succubus”. In recent years, Fox has been cropping up in more and more horror films, and I’ve largely been a pretty big fan.

Rogue pits her against some killer lions in a goofy The Ghost and the Darkness riff, and Subservience… well, Fox is really good in it. Speaking of Subservience, director S.K. Dale previously helmed Till Death. Dale made his debut there, and it similarly stars Megan Fox. It’s also incredible, and streaming now on Netflix. What are you waiting for?

Game of Thrones, despite its worldwide popularity, is highly infamous for how it ended. While a section of fans outright cancels the show’s existence after Season 6, another section can list a series of problems that plagued its conclusion.

When the creators, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, sat for an interview during the release of 3 Body Problem, they were asked if they would like to change anything about the show. Although we can list a myriad of plot points that took GoT downhill in its last season, the creator duo responded with a change that nobody expected to hear: Mord the Jailer’s story. Yes, you heard it right!

Body Odyssey opens on Mona immersed in ritualized training, each clang of iron and hiss of steroids marking her devotion to a form that exceeds usual human scale. We meet her through a clinical lens—long takes of muscle fibers contracting, close‑ups of injected syringes—yet beneath this precision lies a surreal undercurrent, as if we’ve stepped into an experimental French New Wave gym.

Mona’s quest for the Miss Body Universe crown drives every scene. Early moments anchor us in her disciplined routine: dawn lifts, calorie counts, whispered self‑affirmations. As her regimen intensifies, the film shifts structure, intercutting her present labors with flickering memories of solitude and brief encounters with Nic, the younger man whose fleeting warmth unsettles her equilibrium. These nonlinear glimpses of longing fracture the narrative, inviting us to assemble Mona’s psyche from shards of image and sound.

The back reads "Zor-El", which is the name of his character and the father of Milly Alcock's Supergirl.

Body horror meets psychological drama in Body Odyssey, releasing on DVD and Digital on May 27 from IndiePix Films.

Professional bodybuilder Jacqueline Fuchs stars alongside Julian Sands in one of his final roles prior to his death in 2023.

Miss Body Universe contender Mona is a 45-year-old champion bodybuilder whose entire existence is a spasmodic quest for perfection and beauty. Her daily schedule is carefully followed by her obsessive coach, Kurt, who rigorously monitors her every action like a demiurge: her sleep, her nutrition, her training, her doping, her psychology and even her sexual life.

This unyielding regimen becomes disrupted when a brief romantic encounter with a young man impacts both her discipline and her will.

The Italy-Switzerland co-production marks the feature debut of director Grazia Tricarico, who co-wrote the script with Marco Morana and Giulio Rizzo.

Adam Misík, Stefan Sauk, Lukas Loughran, Hanna Ullerstam, and Maximilian Dirr round out the cast.

Orochimaru, the original creepmaster supreme in Naruto, has been keeping his head low in Boruto. Even after committing one heinous crime after another, he was somehow allowed to a redemption arc. Of course, plenty of fans were disgusted by how the villain was let go so easily.

But who can stop Masashi Kishimoto from doing whatever he wants with his story? Being the author, he has the power to forgive even the most heinous of criminals, even if the criminal in question caused the death of the third Hokage.

But there’s one crime that no one can forgive Orochimaru for, no matter how much he repents for it (not like he has actually shown any repentance in this case).

Orochimaru committed so many horrible crimes in Naruto that one could make an entire list out of them.

As filming continues on DC Studios' Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in London, some more photos from the set have been shared online.

Still no close-ups, unfortunately, but these latest drone shots do give us our best look yet at Milly Alcock suited-up as the Girl of Steel, while revealing some new costume details.

The suit appears to be almost identical to the one Kara Zor-El wears in Tom King's Woman of Tomorrow comic, with the classic color scheme, cape and skirt. We also have confirmation that the costume will have the iconic "S" shield on the chest and back of the cape.

There's no sign of the mysterious foe Kara was doing battle with in the previous photos, but based on the few details we could make out, there's a pretty good chance it was indeed Jason Momoa as Lobo (more here).

Hayley Williams has unearthed a true deep cut from her catalog, sharing a super rare performance of “Teenagers” — a song she wrote for the Jennifer’s Body soundtrack — on Instagram.

As production continues on DC Studios' Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in London, we have our first look at star Milly Alcock suited-up as the Girl of Steel.

The photos are not the clearest (to say the least), but despite the distance, the images do reveal that the suit has a comic-accurate blue and red color scheme. We'll obviously need to see some closer shots before getting a better idea of the full costume design, but more photos are sure to follow soon.

Based on what we can discern from the photos and video below, Kara is preparing to do battle with an unknown foe on top of a tank.

There's some speculation that the other individual might be Jason Momoa's Lobo, but it's very difficult to tell for sure.

Amanda Seyfried is reflecting on Jennifer’s Body, as well as a potential sequel.

The 39-year-old Mean Girls alum addressed the 2009 horror-comedy starring Megan Fox, which stalled at the box office, but has since been reappraised by audiences as a cult classic in recent years.

In an interview, Amanda called it a “perfect movie.”

Keep reading to find out more…

“It’s got balls,” Amanda said of the film to GQ.

“We were expressing a certain angst in a very, very specific, comedic way in a very specific genre…there was everything you could want,” she continued. “Girl on girl action.”

“If the critics criticize anything it would be the marketing. The marketing sucked. It just did. And we all agree…the marketing team cheapened it like it was just, you know, a romp, a gory romp. I think they ruined it.”

She added that she and Megan made “a really good team.

Amanda Seyfried has strong feelings about her 2009 horror-comedy film “Jennifer’s Body.” She played Needy Lesnicki, a shy high school girl whose best friend Jennifer, acted by Megan Fox, gets possessed by a demon and starts killing boys.

The movie, directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody, didn’t do well when it came out. Seyfried blames the failure on bad marketing.

In a recent chat with GQ, Seyfried praised the film. “I can’t critique this movie. To me, it’s perfect,” she said. “It’s got balls. Diablo Cody was outspoken and beautiful and smart and funny. We were expressing a certain angst in a very specific, comedic way in a very specific genre. The special effects were so incredible, there were stunts, there was everything you could want.” She believes it had a unique mix of humor, horror, and stunts that made it special.

The marketing,...

Sometimes, a movie just needs to be brought back from the dead. Or at least that's the case for 2024's romantic comedy Lisa Frankenstein, the brainchild of Diablo Cody (fun fact: a pen name), and the directorial debut of Zelda Williams. Cody is the Academy-Award-winning writer of Juno, as well as many other female-empowering films like Young Adult, Ricky and the Flash, and, of course, the cult horror classic Jennifer's Body. Infamously, Jennifer's Body, which stars Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, suffered an egregious case of mismarketing prior to its release. The explicitly feminist, satirical film was packaged by the marketing team as a raunchy sex comedy to cater to male audiences, causing it to be panned by critics for not meeting expectations. Over time, Jennifer's Body has come to be loved for the hilarious and salient movie it always was.

Earlier this year, another horror satire written by Cody,...

Nowadays, Jennifer's Body is considered a cult classic, a comedy horror that was ahead of its time. The movie came out in 2009 and it didn't have the impact the stars, Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, as well as the creative team had hoped for, but they have highlighted the movie's impact throughout the years.

Seyfried has often addressed the movie and has always had nothing but good things to say. The same trend continues, as the actress addressed the movie in a new interview with GQ, where she breaks down her most iconic characters. Naturally, she also brought up Jennifer's Body's Needy.

"I can't critique this movie, it's to me a perfect movie. It's got balls. Diablo Cody was outspoken and beautiful and smart and funny," she said about the screenwriter. "We were expressing a certain angst in a very, very specific, comedic way, in a very specific genre."

As the industry encounters a wave of diversity, equity and inclusion rollbacks, Amy Adams, filmmaker Karyn Kusama and Telluride Film Festival executive director Julie Huntsinger are booked to discuss representation in front of the next generation.

The trio will participate in a student-led Q&a panel as part of the Archer Film Festival at the Writers Guild Theater in Los Angeles on April 11. The chat, for Archer School for Girls students and aspiring filmmakers, is designed to focus on “pressing questions of how to create meaningful change for women in film, both in front of and behind the camera, within a rapidly shifting industry,” per the school.

The Archer Film Fest is an entirely student-led and organized effort that seeks to empower female filmmakers and amplify underrepresented voices. In addition to the Q&a, the fest will screen a selection of finalist films. More than 300 student-produced film submissions were received from more than 30 countries.

Jennifer’s Body should have done far better than it did at the box office, even if it was in the poster alone: a red-hot Megan Fox (already a sex symbol of the Maxim variety) in a short dress sitting on top of a desk that’s hiding a severed body part. But it didn’t work – and it’s the marketing itself that co-star Amanda Seyfried thinks is to blame for the audience not finding Jennifer’s Body.

Speaking with GQ (via EW), Amanda Seyfried said that the reason Jennifer’s Body only made $16 million domestically had to do with how Fox bungled the way to pitch it to audiences. “If the critics criticize anything, it would be the marketing. The marketing sucked. It just did, and we all agree…The marketing team cheapened it, like it was just, you know, a romp. A gory romp. I think they ruined it.

Amanda Seyfried, the actor known for her work in films like Mamma Mia!, Mean Girls and Mank, has revealed that she was originally offered a major part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe...but she turned it down. During the casting process for James Gunn's 2014 superhero comedy Guardians of the Galaxy, Seyfried won the part of the feared intergalactic warrior and daughter of Thanos, Gamora. However, she didn't think the Marvel outing would be successful (even thinking it would be the franchise's first flop) and rejected the offer. Of course, Guardians of the Galaxy ultimately made over $773 million at the box office, and kick-started one of the McU's most beloved trilogies.

Seyfried revealed details while appearing on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast hosted by Josh Horowitz, where she spoke about her most notable roles and those she missed. Recently, she appeared in the Peacock miniseries Long Bright River, and soon...

No matter the controversies plaguing Zoe Saldaña, following her Oscar win for Emilia Pérez, the actress will forever be hailed for her MCU role as Gamora in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. However, she wasn’t the initial choice for the role. Recently, Amanda Seyfried revealed that she was originally offered the role, prior to signing Saldaña.

Appearing on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, Amanda Seyfried, known for her roles in Jennifer’s Body and Letters to Juliet, reflected on the time when she almost starred alongside Chris Pratt in the billion-dollar franchise. However, she later elaborated on her decision to decline and offered three reasons behind her ultimate choice.

Netflix continues to fight the good fight for no-nonsense action movie magic, with the streaming giant having now revealed the release date for what could easily be their next action thriller smash hit. Now all set to be unleashed next month, Exterritorial sounds like it could be the next Taken, as a former Special Forces soldier is forced to resurrect her particular set of kills after her son mysteriously goes missing.

According to Netflix, the German action outing, which has been made in conjunction with Constantin Television (Dear Child), is due to be released on the streamer on April 30, 2025. Written and directed by Christian Zübert, Exterritorial promises to be as gripping as Liam Neeson’s action movie magnum opus, and you can check out the official synopsis for Exterritorial below.

“On a visit to the US consulate in Frankfurt, the young son of former Special Forces soldier Sara (Jeanne Goursaud) suddenly disappears without a trace.

Did Zendaya’s intense Euphoria performance had people worried? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Zendaya is no stranger to heavy scenes on Euphoria. But one episode in Season 2 had fans seriously worried. So much so that many reached out to see if she was okay. The episode in question was episode 5, “Stand Still Like the Hummingbird.” The one where Rue’s life falls apart—fast.

Rue spends the whole episode running. From friends. From family. From herself. It’s the moment where her addiction hits rock bottom. And it wasn’t easy for Zendaya to film either.

In an interview with Variety, Zendaya opened up about how hard that episode was. “It’s tough,” she said. “And I thought what was actually quite sweet was when that episode did air, I did get a lot of messages from people checking in on me, which I appreciate.”

If you’ve seen Dan Berk and Robert Olsen’s 2019 indie gem Villains, then you understand why the Novocaine directing duo wouldn’t want to make another austere action movie.

Their 2019 genre mashup starring Maika Monroe and Bill Skarsgard had an unconventional romance in between all the laughs, thrills and scares, and the former NYU roommates knew that the most successful version of Novocaine would also need some tonal variation to complement its own unfamiliar love story. Based on a script by Lars Jacobson, the co-directors revamped the more “straightforward” tone into a bloody action-comedy with plenty of heart to balance it all out.

Jack Quaid plays Nathan Caine, an assistant bank manager who suffers from congenital insensitivity to pain (Cip). As a result of his life without physical pain, Nate lives a very insular existence outside of work until his long-standing crush and co-worker, Sherry (Amber Midthunder), makes the first move.

Directors Robert Olsen and Dan Berk are well known to horror fans for smart, scary, and sometimes quite funny thrillers like “Body,” “Villains,” and “Significant Other.” With their latest film, “Novocaine,” the precise and expressive visual style of those early films remains, but the genre is new: The story of a mild-mannered banker (Jack Quaid) on a quest to save his kidnapped new girlfriend (Amber Midthunder) is a full-on action movie packed with exhilarating set pieces.

For Berk and Olsen, getting the chance to play in Richard Donner and John McTiernan’s sandbox was a long-held dream finally realized.

“We’ve wanted to make an action movie for a very long time, but it’s really hard early in your career,” Berk told IndieWire’s Filmmaker Toolkit podcast. “No one’s going to give you the 20-plus-million dollars you need to make an action movie for your first feature.”
