    Despite being the smallest in the league, Will scores a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join the pros. But with doubting teammates and an unforgiving field, the question remains: can a goat really run with the big beasts?

  • Dakota Johnson Stars as a Modern Matchmaker with a Messy Love Life in “Materialists” — In Cinemas August 6

    Dakota Johnson Stars as a Modern Matchmaker with a Messy Love Life in “Materialists” — In Cinemas August 6

    Love Math, Messy Heart: Meet Lucy

    What happens when the person helping everyone find love can’t make sense of her own feelings? That’s the irresistible premise of Materialists, the latest film from Past Lives director Celine Song — starring Dakota Johnson as Lucy, a matchmaker who’s great at pairing people up… but terrible at navigating her own romantic life.

    Materialists Dakota City

    Rooted in Song’s real-life stint as a matchmaker in New York City, the story brings both sharp insight and playful humor to today’s dating culture. “She’s (Lucy) somebody who’s very clear about the fact that love really does baffle her, but she’s very good at the math of dating,” Song describes.

    Dakota Johnson IS Lucy

    The moment Song met Dakota Johnson, she knew she’d found her Lucy. “We were having a meeting and the way that she is so vulnerable and so funny and sharp, I remember walking away from her thinking, she’s Lucy,” Song recalls.

    In the film, Lucy’s career is soaring—but her own love life is a question mark. After a twist of fate reconnects her with her ex and introduces a new potential match, Lucy finds herself stuck between what looks perfect on paper and what feels heartbreakingly familiar.

    A Chameleon in Love

    Dakota Johnson loved how layered Lucy is. “She’s extremely nonjudgmental,” Johnson explains. “She just wants to deliver and she wants people to find love, but she’s pretty shut off from that search herself.”

    Materialists Dakota Chris

    Lucy’s many shades—playful, serious, guarded, and sincere—are what drew Johnson in. “I was drawn to the role because it’s so complex,” Johnson says. “Lucy has so many different dynamics in the film, so there’s many different Lucys. She’s a bit of a different person with every other character — she’s sort of a chameleon in that way. And then you’re wondering which of her is the truth, which I thought was just so fun to play with.”

    Fragile, Flawed, and Fearless

    Celine Song believes Lucy’s contradictions are exactly what make her compelling. “Lucy is so beautiful, but she’s very vulnerable when it comes to these things that come from her own intimate self-perception and self-objectification, which I think Dakota actually does understand from being in public forever,” Song notes.nce.

    First Look at the Film

    Catch a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Lucy’s world with the First Look featurette here:

    Opening August 6 in PH Cinemas

    Equal parts clever and romantic, Materialists is a witty exploration of modern love, self-worth, and second chances. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or just romantically hopeless, Lucy’s journey will hit home.

    Materialists is distributed by Columbia Pictures Philippines and opens in cinemas on August 6.

  • Unmask the Mystery: Meet the Characters of “Weapons,” the New Horror from Barbarian Director Zach Cregger

    Unmask the Mystery: Meet the Characters of “Weapons,” the New Horror from Barbarian Director Zach Cregger

    Welcome to Maybrook: A Town With a Vanishing Secret

    Something’s wrong in Maybrook. On one fateful night, seventeen children from the same elementary class vanish—except one. In Weapons, writer-director Zach Cregger spins a sinister tale of loss, fear, and fractured truth. This cinematic mystery opens in cinemas and IMAX on August 6 and promises to twist expectations at every turn.

    WPN 08517c

    Fresh off the success of 2022’s cult favorite Barbarian, Cregger returns with a genre-defying thriller critics are calling “a horror masterpiece” and “an instant classic.”

    A Perspective-Driven Nightmare

    Cregger’s storytelling ambition shines through in his decision to film Weapons through hyper-subjective perspectives. Every chapter is told from a different character’s point of view, down to camera height and focus. This technique is especially haunting in scenes seen through the eyes of Alex, the lone student who didn’t disappear.

    “This is a movie that starts weird and I think it ends way weirder, but it also stays both feet on the ground as much as it can,” says Cregger. “It’s a movie that obeys the rules of its own universe so it’s not going to spiral into some bizarre, hallucinogenic nightmare or anything like that. But it is a twisty, turn-y movie. I mean, it’s a movie that reinvents itself about every 20 minutes while still staying true to the central engine. But it’s also a fun movie. It’s funny, it’s scary, it’s inviting. It’s not a big, grim, morose slog, and yet, the story it tells is really f***ed up.”

    The Characters You’ll Meet in Weapons

    Archer (Josh Brolin)

    Archer is a father grappling with the disappearance of his son. Unwilling to wait for answers, he launches his own investigation.

    Says Brolin of the good year the horror genre is having, and of working with Cregger: “This is the horror cycle, and I like it. I love being involved with somebody who I think is really good.”

    WPN 08911r

    Justine Gandy (Julia Garner)

    Justine is an elementary school teacher who discovers her class empty—except for one student. As rumors swirl and accusations mount, she takes matters into her own hands. Garner sees the film as more than horror: “And what I mean by love story,” she says, “is that it’s about people having the desire to connect but not knowing how.”

    WPN T1 0024r

    Paul (Alden Ehrenreich)

    Paul is a police officer with personal demons, reluctantly swept into the investigation. Ehrenreich was drawn to the project by Cregger’s storytelling. “It’s such a full meal,” says Ehrenreich of the stories of “Weapons.” “You get so many different characters, different dynamics and different stories. And the structure of the story is just so wonderfully done. So, I’ve been very genuinely excited to be a part of it.”

    Alex (Cary Christopher)

    Alex is the only student who didn’t vanish. His scenes are uniquely shot from his third-grade perspective. Young actor Cary Christopher found filming more fun than scary. “It’s different, because if you’re just watching a movie, it can be really scary because you don’t know what’s going on. But when you’re filming that same movie and you see it, it’s not scary to you. In fact, it’s funny. But since I know that it’s fake and it’s not real, we’re just all actors, it just gets pretty funny.”ares.

    Marcus (Benedict Wong)

    Marcus is the principal of Maybrook Elementary, stuck between supporting Justine and addressing community fears. Benedict Wong was immediately intrigued by the script’s originality. “It was original, unpredictable, and I could immediately tell it had the potential to be genuinely terrifying,” he says.

    WPN T1 0016

    A Story That Demands to Be Seen on the Big Screen

    With a compelling ensemble cast that includes Amy Madigan and Austin Abrams, Weapons is more than a horror film—it’s a narrative puzzle that reshapes itself with each chapter. It’s bold, unsettling, and unexpectedly humorous.

    Weapons is distributed by Warner Bros. Philippines, opens exclusively in cinemas and IMAX on August 6. Follow the mystery. Share your theories using the hashtag #WeaponsMovie and visit MaybrookMissing.com for more chilling updates.

    “Lightning in a Bottle” Chemistry

    Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) helms the thrilling reboot, gushing about the cast’s undeniable on-screen spark. “The cast chemistry really leaps off the screen,” she continues. “It was like lightning in a bottle. It just was there, and it was amazing.” she shares. And it shows — this ensemble doesn’t just act like lifelong friends; they feel like them.

    Meet the New Victims — and Possibly, Survivors

    Jonah Hauer-King as Milo Griffin
    Known for The Little Mermaid and Doctor Who, Jonah Hauer-King plays the grounded and guilt-ridden Milo. “There’s all the fear factor, mystery, blood, and slasher stuff, which is brilliant,” he says. “We introduce some great new characters to root for, and Jenn and the other writers have brought a contemporary, fresh humor to it. There’s a wink, which is fun because the horror and comedy are intertwined and play off each other nicely,” he says.

    Chase Sui Wonders as Ava Brucks
    Perceptive and passionate, Ava — played by Bodies Bodies Bodies star Chase Sui Wonders — resists the initial silence after the group’s fatal accident. “What happens at Reaper’s Curve tests Ava, and the group, in ways that you can’t really come back from,” explains Wonders. “It’s a new reality that everyone has to contend with.”

    Danica Cline as Danica Richards
    The fiercely loyal best friend to Ava, Danica tries to protect her bond even as their world unravels. “Danica and Ava are two peas in a pod,” Cline points out. “They’ve been best friends forever, and it’s one of those friendships that will remain strong – no matter what they go through.”

    Tyriq Withers as Teddy Spencer
    With a smile that hides deep trauma, Teddy is the town’s golden boy with a complicated past. “Teddy has a vulnerable side because despite his parents’ resources, there was a lack of real support, and Teddy experienced some real trauma,” says Tyriq Withers. “Still, he is always the light of the group. I’d say he’s even the glue, the comedic factor that tries to alleviate painful situations. Teddy just wants to be around good energy all the time, because he missed out on that in the family home.”

    Sarah Pidgeon as Stevie
    Stevie is the realist, grounded and haunted. Now working at a bar run by Southport survivor Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.), she represents the emotional weight of past tragedies. “I’ve certainly been there as Stevie,” says Sarah Pidgeon. “You find a corner to hide in, but I think Stevie is the realist of the group. She’s a foil to Danica, who has been able to skirt around a lot of consequences in her life. Stevie has not been able to do that. Every time her life has gone off the rails, she’s suffered for it.”
