new trailer for the movie “Twisters,” a follow-up to 1996’s disaster flick “Twister” that hits theaters on July 19, social media alighted with viewers praying for a cameo from original star Helen Hunt.“I hope Helen Hunt makes a cameo in the new Twisters movie,” said user @_IAMeveryWoman on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.@JTMitcell87 wanted a glimpse of the actress, too. “I kept waiting for Helen Hunt to show up, drop a pun, then fire Dorothy sensors into a twister with a modified shotgun,” they wrote.No such luck.So, will Hunt make an appearance in the movie 28 years after she first chased tornadoes?

Nobody will leave writer Diablo Cody’s new horror-comedy “Lisa Frankenstein” shouting “it’s alive!” “It’s amusing,” maybe.The “Juno” scribe’s wacky contribution to the litany of riffs on Mary Shelley’s novel — from Boris Karloff to “Young Frankenstein” and “Frankenweenie” — makes the gothic tale into an 1980s teen sex comedy.Running time: 101 minutes.

Sundance Film Festival’s lineups can often be dark affairs with edgy shocks, narcotics and strident political talking points.

Elvis Presley accent apparently still lingered in his voice — two years after playing the late musician.

You were so kind to me.”“I was really wild, guys,” she jokes to her audience.

The “Erin Brockovich” director moves his camera around so much, you want to yell at the screen, “Settle down, please! I have a headache!” There is a rationale for his nearly-nonstop motion shtick: the audience is experiencing the haunted house from the perspective of a ghost. And this particular ghost apparently needs to get its steps in.However, aside from a couple creepy voyeuristic scenes that the technique complements, its more obvious purpose is for Soderbergh to show off elaborate tracking shots.

walked back his comments slamming “Barbie” star Ryan Gosling “for doing that s – – t for money.”Stone, 77, said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that he made those incendiary comments last year before seeing the box-office behemoth, which snared eight Oscar nominations Tuesday — including one for Gosling as Best Supporting Actor and America Ferrera as Best Supporting Actress and has grossed over $1.45 billion worldwide.“At the time, I was busy promoting my nuclear documentary in Europe [‘Nuclear Now’] and had little to no knowledge of the project beyond its title,” Stone wrote, regarding his nuking of Gosling and “Barbie.”He said he saw the film in July “and appreciated the film for its originality and its themes.”“I found the filmmaker’s approach certainly different than what I expected,” he said. “I apologize for speaking ignorantly.”He also praised “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig’s 2017 movie “Ladybird” as “one of my favorites of that year.”” ‘Barbie’s’ box office greatly boosted the morale of our business, which was welcome,” he said.

lifeless “Captain Marvel,” their latest movie has, um, flecks of the supernatural heroism and urban vigilante justice that we associate with the comic book genre. Running time: 106 minutes. Rated R (strong bloody violence, language throughout including slurs, sexual content and drug use).However, unlike many of those bland caped behemoths, “Freaky Tales,” which had its world premiere Thursday night at the Sundance Film Festival, also boasts enough forceful, nerdy personality to fill the San Francisco Bay.

Katherine Heigl recreated a key scene from her 2008 movie “27 Dresses” at a 2024 Emmys after-party in LA on Monday night.Heigl, 45, who attended the ceremony as part of a “Grey’s Anatomy” reunion, took center stage in her long Reem Acre red gown at the after-party by swinging her hips and dancing solo to Elton John’s 1974 hit song “Bennie and the Jets.”In “27 Dresses,” in which she co-starred opposite James Marsden, Heigl’s character, Jane, and Marsden’s Kevin bond over their love for “Bennie and the Jets.” They then get up on a bar and sing along to the tune — leading the crowd in a jumbled sing-along (Jane is barefoot) and ending the iconic scene by kissing each other.Earlier in the scene, Jane and Kevin totally mix up the song’s lyrics — Jane says “She’s got electric boobs” instead of “She’s got electric boots” — adding to the couple’s joy in their barroom.Heigl’s dance Monday night at the Emmys after-party was posted on Instagram by the party’s DJ, Benjamin Walker, who added: “I love a good rom-com so when I saw @katherineheigl, I knew IMMEDIATELY there was one song to end the night and one song only … #IYKYK #27dresses.”“27 Dresses,” which also co-starred Malin Akerman, Edward Burns and Judy Greer, was directed by Anne Fletcher and revolved around Jane, who’s “always the bridesmaid, never a bride” and has been in 27 weddings wearing different dresses.Eventually she falls in love with Kevin after he writes an article about her experience as a professional bridesmaid.The movie’s main characters reunited for an Entertainment Weekly photo shoot in 2019, and said they would be interested in doing a sequel, should the opportunity arise.“I want to do a sequel,” Heigl said at the time.

the Hollywood Reporter.The outlet added that the project centers around a grieving son who received a dying request from his late mother.“The film is about lost objects and lonely people and forgiveness and regret, but I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in those things,” Malia revealed in an interview about the project.“We hope you enjoy the film and it makes you feel a bit less lonely, or at least reminds you not to forget about the people who are.”The film was previously screened at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado back in Sept. 2023, as well as the Chicago International Film Festival in Oct.

Taylor Swift knows a thing or two about being catnip.Indeed, the pop superstar worked all of her flirtatious feline wiles as Bombalurina in “Cats,” the much-maligned 2019 movie adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical.But Swift had a different kind of kitty persuasion on “Argylle,” the upcoming spy thriller starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Henry Cavill, Sam Rockwell, John Cena, Samuel L. Jackson and more.Director Matthew Vaughn (“Kick-Ass,” “X-Men: First Class” and the “Kingsman” films) says that it was the “Anti-Hero” singer who was “responsible” for the scene-stealing Scottish Fold cat featured in the film, which hits theaters Feb. 2.It all started when Vaughn’s two daughters with his supermodel wife, Claudia Schiffer, convinced their mother to buy them a Scottish Fold for Christmas after seeing Swift’s cat in her 2020 “Miss Americana” documentary.
