Kristen Stewart is getting for her big moment at Cannes!

The 35-year-old Oscar-nominated actress stopped by a hair salon for an appointment on Friday afternoon (May 9) in Los Angeles.

For her outing, Kristen sported a white sportsbra paired with white sweatpants.

Next week, Kristen is expected to be in the South of France for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival where she will be premiering her directorial debut The Chronology of Water!

Here’s the synopsis from the Cannes website: “Brought up in an environment torn apart by violence and alcohol, Lidia Yuknavitch seemed destined for self-destruction and failure until words offered her unexpected freedom in the form of literature. The Chronology of Water, adapted from Yuknavitch’s autobiographical bestseller, follows Lidia’s journey to find her own voice in an exploration of how trauma can be transformed into art through re-possessing our own bloody histories, particularly those uniquely experienced by the bodies of women and girls.

The Twilight Saga movie series, which made Robert Pattinson a household name, did not age well among fans. Despite earning huge worldwide, cinephiles and critics still hate the movies for several reasons. But despite so much trolling, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the second movie in the franchise, dominates in the latest streaming charts.

When ranked among the movies, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is still considered among the worst. From Robert Pattinson and the other cast’s performance to the problematic storyline, the movie has little to no positive aspects. Surprisingly, its streaming status tells a different story.

According to Flix Patrol, two movies in The Twilight Saga franchise can currently be spotted in the Top 10 movies of this month in the United States.

As your “Screen Talk” co-hosts Anne Thompson and Ryan Lattanzio pack for Cannes, we preview the hot titles for sale, the studio marketing launches, the possible Competition prize contenders, and the movies that have already released trailers. We speculate about the potential brought by President Trump’s latest proposal of a 100 percent tariff on movies filmed overseas. And we preview the summer lineup.

In new news, the already sprawling Cannes Film Festival has just welcomed a few new additions: Bi Gan’s “Resurrection” finally joins the competition after much speculation and anticipation, as well as Eugene Jarecki’s delayed Julian Assange documentary “The Six Billion Dollar Man,” which was pulled from Sundance due to developments in the story.

Among the competition titles without North American berths are Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love,” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson; Richard Linklater’s “Nouvelle Vague,” with Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg,...

Eleanor the Great, The Chronology of Water and Urchin are all in the festival’s prestigious Un Certain Regard sidebar. A first step to being the next Clint Eastwood?

First-time directors with films premiering at Cannes next week would be forgiven for feeling nervous. But three of the directors who are unveiling their debut features in France are less likely than their peers to be quaking as they approach the red carpet.

Actors Scarlett Johansson, Kristen Stewart and Harris Dickinson are all among the film-makers with movies screening in Cannes’ prestigious sidebar Un Certain Regard over the next 10 days.

Lord Huron have announced their new album, The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1, out July 18th via Mercury Records. In anticipation, they’ve shared new song “Looking Back,” which is the record’s opening track. Listen to the track below.

The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1 includes the previously released singles “Nothing I Need” and “Who Laughs Last,” the latter of which features vocals from actress Kristen Stewart. The album also features a collaboration with Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead, titled “Fire Eternal.”

In a press release, frontman Ben Schneider revealed the album’s title originated from a hypothetical inquiry: “What if you could choose your fate like choosing a song on a jukebox? What if your finger slipped and you got the B-side instead? What if you misunderstood the meaning of the dang song to begin with?”

Speaking about “Looking Back,” Schneider described the song as another existential...

A few days before the start of the Cannes Film Festival, Variety gathered top French producers, distributors and talent, including Dominik Moll, Elodie Bouchez, Justine Triet and Coralie Fargeat at an intimate dinner hosted at the glamorous landmark restaurant Laperouse.

Bouchez, who recently starred in “Beating Hearts,” will be presenting two films at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight, “Enzo,” directed by Robin Campillo and late filmmaker Laurent Cantet, as well as “Classe Moyenne” by Anthony Cordier. The actor was sitting besides Oscar-nominated producer Marie Ange Luciani (“Anatomy of a Fall”) who produced “Enzo” as well as Laura Wandel’s “Adam’s Sake” which will open Critics’ Week; and Alexandra Henochsberg, president of Ad Vitam, which will distribute seven films from the Official Selection in France, including “The Secret Agent” by Kleber Mendonça Filho; “Romeria” by Carla Simón; “La Petite Dernière” by Hafsia Herzi; “Vie Privée,” starring Jodie Foster and directed by Rebecca Zlotowski; and “Enzo,...

Elder emos should be delighted as a certain $3 billion young adult franchise has finally hit Netflix, with all 5 movies from the Twilight saga now available to stream. The box-office-breaking Twilight movie saga was a massive hit in the 2010s and follows the series of books of the same name by Stephanie Meyer. Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, Twilight released five fantastic movies from 2008 to 2012, following the story of a young Bella Swan as she finds herself in a dangerous love triangle with the vampire Edward Cullen, and the Quileute shapeshifter werewolf, Jacob Black.

Netflix hasrevealed via Tudum that all five Twilight movies are now available to watch on the streaming site in the US as of May 1, 2025. According to the rankings, the first Twilight movie currently sits at number 3 in Netflix’s Top 10 list, with Twilight: New Moon sitting at number 8. In fact, all five movies briefly...

Finally, they would have been 22. Thierry Frémaux reportedly received Bi Gan‘s third feature film at the last possible moment and the reason it wasn’t announced during the second wave is because the ever-unpredictable Chinese censors ensured an eleventh-hour type of inclusion. “Resurrection,” is part of 2025 Palme d’Or competition line-up – a first time for the Chinese filmmaker. Les Films du Losange (who repped other eleventh hour inclusions in Kristen Stewart’s The Chronology of Water and Nadav Lapid’s Yes) are the sales company backing this project.

Filmed in parts (beginning back in March of last year) the sci-fi detective tale starring Jackson Yee and Shu Qi (she was the muse of and had the honor of working on Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s very last feature The Assassin).…...

Twilight is the saga of forbidden love and supernatural feuds, and it has made a dramatic return to Netflix. Whether you are Team Jacob, Team Edward, or Team ‘Why is Charlie Swan the only one with common sense?’, there’s no denying that the movies have a lot more to offer than glittering vampires and high school angst.

But as longtime fans are once again pulled into the drama, a new detail demands attention, i.e., the Cullen family crest. So, let’s uncover what it exactly represents and also look at what Jackson Rathbone has to say about the symbol.

Jackson Rathbone is the actor who played the brooding and battle-hardened Jasper Hale in the Twilight franchise. In an old interview with MTV, he had commented on the Cullen crest, where...

Think science and film don’t mix? Think again. Introducing the 2025 Sloan Film Summit: Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and Film Independent’s triennial, weekend-long celebration of the intersecting fields of cinema, science, math and engineering.

This invitation-only event will bring together more than 100 award-winning screenwriters, directors and producers alongside working scientists and representatives from leading film schools and organizations, who all work to bridge the gap between science & technology and popular culture.

Note: While Summit attendance is exclusive to invitees, we’ll be sharing highlights here on the blog along with live updates on our Instagram, so you can still take part in the excitement.

Since its inception, the Sloan Foundation’s pioneering Film Program has supported over 850 science-themed film projects from some of the most innovative storytellers around the world. That includes more than 30 completed feature films, ranging from independent gems to major blockbusters like Oppenheimer, Twisters and Hidden Figures.

The triennial Sloan Film Summit from nonprofit arts organization Film Independent is back for 2025. IndieWire can announce that the science and technology-focused film program will include screenings of indie hits “Magma” and “Love Me” among its highlights.

Film Independent hosts the festival in partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s Film Program under its broader effort in the Public Understanding of Science and Technology; this is the eighth Sloan Film Summit after its inaugural year in 1999. This year’s summit will take place May 9 through May 11 at the Garland Hotel in Los Angeles, and feature a keynote address from astronomer Amy Mainzer.

“We’re delighted to partner with Film Independent to host this unique summit held only once every three years to celebrate the Sloan Foundation’s pioneering and prolific Film Program,” Doron Weber, Vice President and Program Director at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, said. “With a network of a dozen film schools,...

May signals the transition between spring and summer, and the slate of new films rotating onto Netflix this month also reflect the pollen in the air and the later and later sunsets.

Whether the warmer weather and longer stretches of daylight encourage the scaredy cats to venture outside their comfort zones and watch some thrillers or whether it calls for more lighthearted fair in the form of animated adventures or romantic comedies, Netflix has its viewers set for all kinds of options in May 2025. For those looking to stream A Simple Favor, to refresh ahead of the sequel film Another Simple Favor now on Prime Video, the original film will be on Netflix until May 19.

Find the seven best new movies streaming on Netflix in May below:

Past Lives – May 1

Greta Lee and Teo Yoo in ‘Past Lives’

Those getting excited for Celine Song’s The Materialists coming to theaters...

First published in 2023, author Sian Gilbert’s debut novel She Started It is now set to receive the film adaptation treatment – and Variety reports that Jessica Sharzer, who wrote the 2018 film A Simple Favor (based on a novel by Darcey Bell) and co-wrote the newly released sequel Another Simple Favor with Laeta Kalogridis, will be directing the film. Sharzer has previously directed a few short films, an episode of The L Word, and the 2004 coming-of-age drama Speak, which starred Kristen Stewart.

She Started It follows Annabel, Esther, Tanya and Chloe, once inseparable childhood friends who have since drifted apart. Their adult lives haven’t unfolded quite as they’d imagined, but a shared past and buried secrets have kept them loosely connected. When they receive an invitation from former classmate Poppy Greer to an extravagant bachelorette weekend on a private island, curiosity, and the promise of luxury, pulls them back together.

Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Thunderbolts* is in theaters and wow, what a storm it brought to the franchise, especially with Sentry officially flowing into the MCU. Among its chaotic anti-hero crew, one golden god stood out, Bob aka Sentry. Of course, fans have been impatiently waiting for him ever since the trailer teased a glimpse of the unhinged powerhouse, but now we’ve seen him all, and it’s time to say the casting switch was a blessing in disguise.

Played by Lewis Pullman, Sentry featured an intense, eerie, and oddly sympathetic character, yet another dangerously unstable mix that worked perfectly for Marvel’s terrifying hero. And Pullman’s pure comic-book chaos performance made us forget the once imagined Steven Yeun donning the golden cape version. Honestly, Sentry might just be Marvel’s most haunting big-screen debut yet, all thanks to the casting choice.

There are few titles out there that get more hate than The Twilight Saga. The fantasy vampire young adult series started a true phenomenon, becoming a guilty pleasure for many, and its popularity continues to this day.

The Twilight Saga was based on Stephenie Meyer's four-novel series of the same name, and was adapted into five films between 2008 and 2012. The franchise starred Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner in the leading roles, sending them into worldwide stardom. The five films have been constantly moving streaming homes, and now they're officially available on Netflix.

All the Twilights are now on Netflix in the US, loca! pic.twitter.com/5cUmuZIfSi— Netflix (@netflix) May 1, 2025

Despite the ongoing hate the films received, including the recurring "still a better love story than Twilight" joke, the films were major commercial successes. Overall, The Twilight Saga brought Lionsgate 3.3 billion worldwide, plus 873 million in DVD and Blu-ray sales.

Jennifer Lawrence is rocking some Twilight merch!

The 34-year-old Oscar-winning actress, and mom of 2, sported a black hat with “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1″ written across it in red thread while running a few errands on Friday afternoon (May 2) in New York City.

Jennifer paired the hat with a black jacket over a graphic T-shirt and a cream-colored maxi skirt.

The hat appears to be a fun nod to Jennifer‘s Die, My Love co-star Robert Pattinson who, obviously, starred in the Twilight movies alongside Kristen Stewart.

Did you know that Jennifer actually auditioned for a role in Twilight? In an interview from 2023, Jennifer recalled being “turned down immediately” after her audition.

The late trailblazing astronaut Sally Ride is really having a moment. While it took a minute after the publication of 2014’s definitive biography, “Sally Ride: America’s First Woman in Space,” America’s first woman in space is getting her due in a bigger way. For one, Kristen Stewart is already poised to star as Ride in an upcoming drama, and for two, there’s the new acclaimed Sundance documentary “Sally,” which tells her pioneering story.

Persian/Indigenous singer-songwriter Chloe Star just dropped her new single “TNT” and we caught up with her to learn some things that fans might not already know about her.

The 27-year-old singer, who grew up in California, has cemented her status as in-demand queer artist and performer.

Chloe has several more songs set to drop this summer and she’ll be performing in some of the world’s biggest cities this year.

“’TNT’ feels like my entire personality wrapped into one explosive track,” Chloe said in a statement about her new single. “It is sonic daydream—an escape into a wild, alternate reality where everything I’ve ever wanted exists, no matter how chaotic or surreal. My hope is that when people listen to ‘TNT,’ they feel completely free. It’s meant to be loud, unapologetic, and untamed—just like the world I imagined when we made it.”

What film will win the coveted Palme d’Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival later this month? No frontrunners will emerge until the fest officially starts on May 13, but it’s a safe bet that Kelly Reichardt‘s “The Mastermind” will be in the running for Cannes’ top prize.

“It’s such an honour to return to Cannes as the President of the Un Certain Regard Jury,” the director, writer and cinematographer said in a statement. “This selection will forever hold a special place in my heart.

You know her as the sarcastic college a cappella star from Pitch Perfect or perhaps as George Clooney’s ambitious young colleague in Up in the Air. Anna Kendrick has become one of Hollywood’s most relatable stars with her witty and fun-loving personality. However, behind that approachable celeb image, there is an actress who has built a remarkable career that includes independent films, Broadway productions, and blockbusters.

From her early days as a child Broadway star to becoming the voice of Princess Poppy in the Trolls franchise, Kendrick has consistently proven her versatility as an actress and singer. But just how did this self-described Scrappy Little Nobody (the title of her memoir) build a fortune worth millions? Let’s explore her career moves and smart choices that made her one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.

Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer are stepping out for the first time as newlyweds!

The 35-year-old Twilight actress and the 37-year-old screenwriter stepped out for lunch with a few of their friends on Monday afternoon (April 28) at Troy’s Burgers in Los Angeles.

For their lunch outing, Kristen wore a white T-shirt over a red and yellow striped shirt paired with jeans and a black hat while Dylan sported a black shirt with “David Bowie” written across it along with striped pants.

The couple’s outing comes just over a week after they got married at a wedding held at their home in front of family and friends on Easter Sunday!

It was also recently revealed that Kristen and Dylan‘s upcoming movie The Wrong Girls has been selected for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in May. Find out more about the project here.

The Cannes Film Festival has put together a powerful jury for its 78th edition, including Halle Berry, Jeremy Strong (“The Apprentice”) and Payal Kapadia, the Indian filmmaker of “All We Imagine as Light.”

Mixing actors, filmmakers and authors, the jury will also comprise of South Korean filmmaker Hong Sangsoo; Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher; French-Moroccan writer Leïla Slimani; Congolese director, documentarist and producer Dieudo Hamadi; and Mexican filmmaker and producer Carlos Reygadas. As previously announced, Juliette Binoche will preside over the jury, succeeding Greta Gerwig who handed out the Palme d’Or to Sean Baker’s “Anora.”

Both Strong and Kapadia were at Cannes last year, in competition. Strong presented Ali Abbasi’s “The Apprentice” in which he starred as Roy Cohn, while Kapadia was there with her fiction debut, “All We Imagine as Light” which won the Grand Prize.

Berry became the first African-American woman to win best actress at...

One of the most widely acclaimed movies of the past decade was 2019's "Parasite," which became the first non-English language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Directed and co-written by South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon Ho, the movie featured a financially struggling family getting more than they bargain for when they infiltrate a rich family's home. Blending dark humor with thriller action and themes of increasingly divided social classes, "Parasite" opened Korean cinema to larger audiences. And for those left on the edge of their seats hoping for more, there are plenty of intense movies, both from Korea and beyond, to keep the thrills coming.

Long before "Parasite," Korea has steadily delivered some of the best thrillers in global entertainment, both for cinema and television. But to be clear, this list isn't exclusively comprised of South Korean thrillers, but they do figure prominently here. Instead, these are dark thrillers,...

Exclusive: Films Boutique has boarded world sales on Hasan Hadi’s Iraqi debut feature The President’s Cake, which was selected for Cannes sidebar Directors’ Fortnight earlier this month.

Written by Hadi, the film is set in 1990s Iraq and follows nine-year-old Lamia, who is selected for the intimidating role of baking Saddam Hussein’s birthday cake. She must use her wits and imagination to gather the ingredients to make the mandatory cake, or face the consequences.

Filmed entirely in Iraq, the Iraq-us-Qatar co-production is produced by US producer Leah Chen Baker, whose credits include Sundance 2022 feature Palm Trees and Power Lines.

If Disney could rub a magic lamp and wish for the year 2025 to begin again, it likely would. The studio will have learned its lessons by now, after having delivered two massive under-performers at the box office. But perhaps there was no saving Captain America: Brave New World and Snow Whiteat all. There was a reason why the two movies were delayed, and it would appear that the concern was warranted. Now firmly at the end of its theatrical run, Snow White is struggling to pass what will be its final global box office milestone. This, too, will be a largely ceremonial achievement, as it has no chance of becoming profitable theatrically.

With $85 million domestically and another $110 million from overseas markets, Snow White’s cumulative global haul stands at $195 million so far. Does it have the $5 million necessary to hit the $200 million mark? Who knows? What’s for certain is...

On Sunday April 27 2025, CBS broadcasts Made in Hollywood!

The Accountant 2; The Legend of Ochi; One to One: John & Yoko Season 20 Episode 30 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Made in Hollywood,” titled “The Accountant 2; The Legend of Ochi; One to One: John & Yoko,” promises an exciting mix of interviews and insights into some highly anticipated films. This episode will feature a lineup of talented stars, including Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Kristen Stewart, Steven Yuen, Finn Wolfhard, and Emily Watson.

Viewers can look forward to Ben Affleck discussing his role in “The Accountant 2,” a sequel that aims to build on the success of the first film. His conversation will likely touch on the challenges and developments his character faces this time around. Jon Bernthal and Cynthia Addai-Robinson are also expected to share their experiences from the film, providing a deeper understanding of the story and their characters.

On this week’s Screen Talk, co-hosts Anne Thompson and Ryan Lattanzio dig into Ryan Coogler’s $90-million period vampire musical “Sinners,” starring Michael B. Jordan as twins Smoke and Stack, as well as the boffo box office and the controversial deal.

Warners opened the movie to a bigger-than-expected $48 million Easter weekend, and a weak $15 million overseas. The only other horror film to ever earn an A CinemaScore was James Cameron’s sequel “Aliens” in 1986. It’s rare and bodes well for a broader audience. Nearly half of the opening-day audience was Black, which increased to 38 percent by the weekend’s end.

Warners has bragging rights over this one and, with “A Minecraft Movie,” enjoyed two movies grossing over $40 million. It spells some relief for embattled studio heads Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy. The movie is original and unusual, and thoughtful and entertaining enough to warrant success. It’s...

When you're a young actor beginning to make a bit of headway in Hollywood, you might be tempted to look ahead at what your career could be five years from now and strategize with your agent to target roles in the types of films that best showcase your talents. Perhaps you come alive in romantic comedies. Maybe you're ideal as a hissable heavy. It's possible you're the Laurence Olivier of grease-stained ex-con mechanics who get harassed by detectives while toiling away at the undercarriage of a car. You might know where you're headed, but you don't want to cut off opportunities before you're booking steady work.

Consider the career of Russell Johnson. The man who would be Professor Roy Hinkley on "Gilligan's Island" survived getting shot down by the Japanese military during World War II before seeking fame and fortune as an actor in Hollywood. He had every right to...

We are now far enough removed from the glittercore of early 2000s pop music that its bubble-gum aesthetic has become as potent a post-Y2K period signifier as low-rise jeans and blond highlights. French filmmaker Alexis Langlois’ deliciously campy musical “Queens of Drama” feels like it’s been conjured up inside a Claire’s store where “…Baby One More Time” keeps playing on loop. But this tragic queer love story between a pop star and a punk rocker doesn’t let the patina of nostalgia that envelops it cloud the thorny ideas about queerness, performance, feminism and femininity that Langlois packs into his gleefully deranged period piece.

Such derangement is immediately apparent. In its first moments, Langlois turns his audience into “U-Tube” viewers tuning into the latest missive from an aging vlogger. Steevy Shady is played by Eurovision contestant and famed YouTuber Bilal Hassani. Sporting pink-hued wraparound sunglasses, a horrid asymmetrical blond-streaked hairdo,...

When Thierry Frémaux announced the initial slate for the 78th Cannes Film Festival earlier this month, there were several rumored filmmakers who, quizzically, weren’t part of the reveal. One filmmaker, Spike Lee, saw his passion project “Highest 2 Lowest” added within hours after star Denzel Washington committed to appear on La Croisette. Two of the other most buzzed about additions occurred today, as Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut, “The Chronology of Water,” and a highly anticipated new Lynne Ramsay film, “Die My Love,” were formally invited to the festival.

This year’s Cannes Film Festival lineup just got a little splashier.

Kristen Stewart’s long-awaited directorial debut The Chronology of Water and the Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson-starring Die, My Love from director Lynne Ramsay have been added to the schedule. Stewart’s film, which stars Imogen Poots, will screen in the fest’s Un Certain Regard section while Die, My Love will be in the fest’s competition section.

Also joining the competition section is Woman and Child, the latest title from Iranian director Saeed Roustaee. The filmmaker previously competed for the Palme d’Or at the 2022 fest with his film Leila’s Brothers. Elsewhere, Ethan Coen’s Honey Don’t! will premiere in the fest’s Midnight section. The road trip movie stars Aubrey Plaza, Margaret Qualley and Chris Evans.

The latest title joins an already announced line-up that includes films from Richard Linklater, Wes Anderson, Julie Ducournau and Spike Lee.

As is tradition, the Cannes Film Festival has announced late-breaking additions to its 2025 festival lineup, with new films coming from Lynne Ramsay, and Saeed Roustayi.

The 78th edition will now include Ramsay’s “Die, My Love,” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, in the competition. All the Scottish director’s previous films have premiered at Cannes; the dark martial comedy/horror is her first film since 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here” won the Cannes Best Screenplay prize. Here, Jennifer Lawrence plays a wife unraveling in the country, and married to Pattinson’s character. Lakeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte, and Sissy Spacek also star in this adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s novel. Ramsay wrote the script with Enda Walsh and Alice Birch.

The film made it into Cannes just in time as hoped, and this means we’ll be seeing Lawrence and Pattinson standing in front of glittering flash bulbs on the Palais red carpet.

After the initial main announcement and sidebars, the full Cannes Film Festival lineup has now come into focus with 16 additions today. Highlights include Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, in competition, while elsewhere Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut The Chronology of Water, Ethan Coen’s Honey Don’t, Hlynur Palmason’s The Love That Remains, Koji Fukada’s Love on Trial, Lav Diaz’s Magellan, and Pedro Pinho’s I Only Rest in the Storm have been added.
