Nicole Kidman is coming back to "treat" those looking for some help in Nine Perfect Strangers season 2. The first season of the drama was released all the way back in 2021, and we're so ready for more. Thankfully, it's coming soon and Hulu has released a trailer to give us an idea of what to expect!

Now who's ready to check out that trailer? We shared it below!

What stands out most and has me super excited is the cast! Season 1 had some stellar stars, that's for sure. And this season is no different. There's some of my personal favorite actors too, which is always fun to see.

Nicole Kidman welcomes a new class of wellness hopefuls in the trailer for Nine Perfect Strangers Season Two. This time around, she is not more equipped to help them relax and release than she was in Season One.

Madness and manipulation run rampant at a retreat in the Austrian Alps where Kidman’s Masha Dmitrichenko serves as the resort director. The group of attendees has been specifically chosen, but none of them seem to know what invisible string is tying them all together. Some feel as though they’ve met somewhere before,...

Hulu has dropped the official trailer for Season 2 of Nine Perfect Strangers, starring Nicole Kidman reprising her role as unhinged wellness guru Masha Dmitrichenko, who brings nine new strangers together in the Austrian Alps.

In addition to Kidman, the new Season 2 cast includes Henry Golding, Lena Olin, Annie Murphy, Christine Baranski, Lucas Englander, King Princess, Murray Bartlett, Dolly de Leon, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Mark Strong and Aras Aydin.

Masha greets her guests for the first time in what appears to be a living room in a luxurious home, explaining,“I invited you all here because sometimes you shouldn’t deal with pain gently,” to which one guest, responds, “Wait, this is not a spa?”

“She’s going to bleach our brains, darling,” says Baranski’s character.

Riding high on the successes of war drama All Quiet On The Western Front and papal conspiracy thriller Conclave, filmmaker Edward Berger has had his name linked to all sorts of eyebrow raising projects — from Ocean's 14 to a new Bourne movie. But while both of those particular whispers seem to have proven premature, it does look like Berger is set to work with Ocean's alumni Brad Pitt after all, on a very different kind of joint to Steven Soderbergh's heist flicks. According to Deadline, Berger will direct Pitt in an A24 adaptation of The Riders, Australian author Tim Winton's Booker Prize nominated 1994 bestseller.

Winton's book — which follows Australian father Fred Scully as he tries to uncover the reason why wife Jennifer has suddenly abandoned him and their seven-year-old daughter Billie, rendered mute by having been left to fly from Australia to Ireland on her own...

Ryan Reynolds has never shied away from letting the world know that he hated Green Lantern. The 2011 movie was a critical and commercial flop that very nearly killed the actor's career (he wouldn't regain his leading man status in Hollywood until after Deadpool's release in 2016). 

During a recent appearance at the Time 100 Summit in New York City, Reynolds admitted that Green Lantern is his 2-year-old son Olin's "favourite movie," and explained that he "learned all the most amazing lessons I could ever have in the creative space from that movie."

Elaborating on the latter point, Reynolds said, "A lot of people when they talk about things, they frame it like a Ted Talk or something, where it's like, 'I knew at the time.' I realized I was internalizing these ideas but I couldn't have told you at the time, 'This is what it is.' But too much money,...

Comic book fans take their superheroes very seriously. So when Shazam! and its sequel Shazam! Fury of the Godsdidn't live up to their expectations; some folks sent death threats to the film's director.

Speaking to GamesRadar+, David F. Sandberg said the negativity from fans scared him away from the superhero genre. "I mean, to be honest, fans can get very, very crazy and very angry with you," he explained. "You can get, like, death threats and everything so after Shazam 2, I was like, 'I never wanna do another IP-based movie because it's just not worth it.'"

The Shazam! films brought a lighter, more playful tone to the Dceu, swapping grim heroes for laughs. Released in 2019, Shazam! introduced audiences to Billy Batson (Asher Angel), a teenage foster kid who gains the ability to transform into an adult superhero (Zachary Levi) after being chosen by an ancient wizard. With the...

"This is going to be the most expensive home movie I ever made." Those are the alleged words of director Matthew Vaughn, according to Christopher Mintz-Plasse, one of the stars of 2010's "Kick-Ass." In an interview with Chron at the time, the "Superbad" star explained that Vaughn's R-rated superhero movie "almost didn't get made" and that "nobody wanted to touch it."

That all may be hard to imagine now. Why wouldn't a studio want to back a comic book movie with a killer cast? And this is Matthew Vaughn we're talking about! But 2010 was a very different time. Vaughn hadn't yet reinvented the "X-Men" franchise with "First Class," nor had he delivered the "Kingsman" property. He was merely a stylish filmmaker...

Irrfan Khan Turned Down 2 Hollywood Movies (Photo Credit – Wikipedia/Instagram)

Not many Indian actors get the chance to work with big-shot Hollywood filmmakers in massively mounted movies. On the contrary, late actor Irrfan Khan, known for his nuanced performances across the globe, was not only offered two films helmed by veteran director Ridley Scott, but he also turned down both of them. Scroll down to know the names of these films and why the actor rejected them.

Body of Lies (Release Year – 2008)

The first Ridley Scott movie that Irrfan Khan turned down was the action thriller ‘Body of Lies’. Had Irrfan Khan been in the film, he would have shared screen space with two seasoned Hollywood actors, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio. As per a report published in Times of India, the ‘Paan Singh Tomar’ actor reportedly turned it down because it simply didn’t work out. The role was eventually essayed by Mark Strong.

Days after the first images from The Roses were released, Searchlight Pictures has proceeded to unveil the first official trailer for the film. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, The Roses is a remake of the 1989 film The War of the Roses, which stars Michael Douglas and was directed by Danny DeVito, who also stars in the film. The story is based on the novel The War of the Roses by Warren Adler, and it follows a once-happy married couple who get into a competition to see who can drive the other out of the house faster. The first trailer for The Roses shows off the film’s breathtaking cinematography from director of photography Florian Hoffmeister. The film will be released in theaters on August 29, and you can check out the full trailer below.

Tony McNamara adapted the screenplay for the 2025 reimagining of The Roses, and Jay Roach was tapped to direct the film.

Tom Hardy recently opened up about reuniting with Guy Ritchie after nearly two decades. The pair are currently working together on the Paramount+ series MobLand.

"I didn't realize it was 17 years," Hardy told The Hollywood Reporter when asked how he and the acclaimed director, who also serves as an executive producer on Mobland, reconnected after so much time. "That's quite a long time, isn't it? Well, I just called him on the phone, and it didn't feel like that much time had passed, and he was already interwoven into the project. So we had a catch-up and pretty shortly afterward, we were on set working. So it was pretty straightforward."

Ritchie and Hardy previously worked together on 2008's RocknRolla, which featured an ensemble cast all caught up in the middle of a convoluted criminal plot. The film starred Hardy as Handsom Bob alongside Gerard Butler's One-Two, Tom Wilkinson's Lenny Cole,...

When done correctly, musical films can transcend genres.

In 2022, director Todd Phillips announced a sequel to Joker (2019) was being made and was titled Joker: Folie á Deux. This announcement was shortly followed by the reveal that Folie á Deux would in fact be a musical, with Lady Gaga set to portray Harley Quinn. While fans went gaga over the casting, the musical aspect was baffling to many. After all, why would the sequel to a non-musical comic book film, all of a sudden become a musical?

In 2024, that question was answered with an extremely polarizing because Joker: Folie á Deux was an incredibly lackluster follow up to the 2019 film, but was this due to the musical element? In the same year, Marvel Studios and Disney+ released Agatha All Along, only to find praise for the spellbinding story and magical music. Both of these comic book projects featured musical elements, but...

We recently got our first look at Graham Roland and J. D. Dillard's upcoming streaming adaptation of William Gibson's Cyberpunk classic, Neuromancer, via some revealing set photos featuring Briana Middleton as Molly Millions, and we now have another look at the actress sporting a very different costume.

Molly, also known as Sally Shears and Rose Kolodny, was first introduced in Gibson's 1981 short story Johnny Mnemonic (which was adapted as a critically-lambasted 1995 movie starring Keanu Reeves) before going on to play a more significant role in the Sprawl Trilogy, Neuromancer (1984), Count Zero (1986), and Mona Lisa Overdrive (1988).

Millions is a ruthless, but honourable "razorgirl" (street samurai) with augmented reflexes and cybernetic implants, including razor-sharp retractable blades underneath her fingernails and vision-enhancing mirrored lenses covering her eye-sockets.

So far, Middleton is the only main cast member to be spotted on set, but other photos have revealed some background actors in various Cyberpunk-inspired outfits.

Exciting news for sci-fi fans! Apple TV+ is bringing Neuromancer to the screen, and we’ve just gotten a new look at Briana Middleton as Molly — a fierce and mysterious assassin with mirrored eyes courtesy of @UnBoxPHD

The upcoming show is based on the famous sci-fi novel Neuromancer by William Gibson. It’s being turned into a 10-episode series by Graham Roland and Jd Dillard. The show promises action, digital hacking, and thrilling crime.

The story follows a troubled hacker named Case, played by Callum Turner. Case used to be one of the best in the business, but now he’s lost everything. When a strange new employer offers him one last chance at redemption, he takes it — and is thrown into a dangerous world of spies and high-tech crime.

Welcome to Tony Talk, a column in which Gold Derby contributors Sam Eckmann and David Buchanan offer Tony Awards analysis. No, your eyes do not deceive you! We are in fact discussing the 2026 Tony Awards today by way of Sunday night's Olivier Award winners in London celebrating the best of British theater.

David Buchanan: We're only three weeks away from the 2025 Tony Awards nominations, but we have to interrupt our predictions to address — believe it or not — the 2026 Tonys! Last night at the Oliviers, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Giant, and Fiddler on the Roof all tied as most-awarded productions of the night with three wins each. But let's start with Oedipus, which not only took home two trophies, but is also confirmed to transfer to Broadway this fall. How do you think its stunning cast, including last night's champ Lesley Manville, might fare stateside next year against a totally unknown Best Actress slate?...

After previously featuring in major shows such as The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy, Mark Strong’s next feature film just got a thrilling new look. Strong will star alongside Kerry Washington and Omar Sy in Shadow Force, the upcoming action thriller due in theaters on May 2. Through Collider's Exclusive Preview Event, we're thrilled to unveil five new images from the film, which was written and directed by Joe Carnahan, with Leon Chills also working on the script. The film follows Kyrah (Washington) and Isaac (Sy), two former leaders of a multinational special forces group known as Shadow Force. After breaking their vow by falling in love, they go underground to protect their son. Now, with a large bounty on their heads, this family’s fight for survival turns into an all-out war with Shadow Force hot on their trail. Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Cliff "Method Man" Smith will also star in the film.

Graham Roland and J. D. Dillard's streaming adaptation of William Gibson's Cyberpunk classic, Neuromancer, is now shooting, and some new photos from the set give us a first look at one of the show's main characters.

Briana Middleton is set to play Molly Millions, and as you can see from the photos below, she looks pretty much exactly how the cyborg mercenary is described in Gibson's novels.

Molly, also known as Sally Shears and Rose Kolodny, was first introduced in Gibson's 1981 short story Johnny Mnemonic (which was adapted as a critically-lambasted 1995 movie starring Keanu Reeves) before going on to play a more significant role in the Sprawl Trilogy, Neuromancer (1984), Count Zero (1986), and Mona Lisa Overdrive (1988).
