    Get ready to laugh until your sides hurt because The Naked Gun is back with a riotous reboot, and Liam Neeson is stepping into the crime-fighting shoes of Lt. Frank Drebin Jr.! Paramount Pictures just dropped a hilarious first look featurette that previews the high-octane, slapstick mayhem headed to theaters this August.

    Watch “The Naked Gun – First Look Featurette”:

    Liam Neeson as You’ve Never Seen Him Before

    Yes, you read that right — Liam Neeson (Taken, Schindler’s List) is swapping serious drama for over-the-top absurdity. As the son of the iconic Frank Drebin (originally played by Leslie Nielsen), Neeson brings his signature intensity to a role that demands perfectly timed pratfalls and deadpan delivery.

    “People are kind of always ready to laugh,” says producer Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy) in a new featurette for this year’s The Naked Gun. “Growing up, I loved The Naked Gun [starring Leslie Nielsen]. This kind of broad, absurdist comedy would transcend all age groups.”

    A Powerhouse Comedy Dream Team

    The Naked Gun is directed by Akiva Schaffer, whose comedy credentials include Saturday Night Live and the cult favorite Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Behind the scenes is comedic powerhouse Seth MacFarlane, known for pushing the envelope and nailing the punchline.

    The reboot boasts a stacked cast:

    New Posters? Yes, Please!

    Alongside the featurette, fans are also treated to brand-new posters teasing the film’s zany energy. Expect outrageous poses, ridiculous props, and Neeson’s signature serious-face-in-a-silly-world expression.

    The Verdict: Chaos, Crime-Fighting, and Comedy

    Whether you’re a longtime fan of the original trilogy or a newcomer curious about why everyone’s quoting it, this reboot promises wall-to-wall laughs, car chases that defy logic, and plenty of quotable one-liners. Mark your calendars: The Naked Gun hits Philippine cinemas August 13.

    Zach Cregger’s Weapons is the Horror-Thriller That Will Shake You to the Core

    After turning heads and twisting minds with his breakout horror hit Barbarian, filmmaker Zach Cregger is upping the ante with Weapons — a bold, terrifying new chapter in modern horror. Cregger isn’t just chasing scares this time — he’s creating a cinematic experience that’s darker, deeper, and far more disturbing.

    “I wanted to make something that felt a lot more ambitious,” says Cregger in a new featurette about his latest horror/thriller, “Weapons.”

    Watch the Full Featurette Here:

    Something Sinister Is Happening in Maybrook…

    Weapons begins with an unsettling event: all but one child from the same class disappear without a trace — at the exact same time. As panic spreads through the town of Maybrook, secrets unravel and reality itself begins to warp.

    The star-studded cast includes Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan — each bringing gripping performances to this psychological powder keg.

    Behind the Madness: Cregger’s Full Creative Force

  • Four Fantastic Reasons to Catch “Materialists” — Featuring Pedro Pascal as the Billionaire Bachelor of Your Dreams

    Four Fantastic Reasons to Catch “Materialists” — Featuring Pedro Pascal as the Billionaire Bachelor of Your Dreams

    Looking for “The One”? So Is Lucy — And She’s Caught in a Love Triangle Worth Watching

    Love, money, and a few complicated feelings—Materialists is here to steal hearts and stir up emotions. Hitting Philippine cinemas this August 6, this new romance from Past Lives director Celine Song is set to make you feel all the feels. And yes, it includes Pedro Pascal as a charming, fabulously wealthy bachelor.

    Dakote Pedro seat

    The Plot: Matchmaker Meets Her Match(es)

    Lucy (played by Dakota Johnson) is a successful matchmaker, turning lonely hearts into lovebirds and leaving a trail of happily-ever-afters in her wake. But when it comes to her own love life? Things aren’t so picture-perfect.

    Enter Harry (Pedro Pascal), the ideal man—he’s handsome, successful, kind, and, well, incredibly rich. He seems to be everything Lucy’s ever wanted. But her romantic roadmap gets rerouted when she bumps into her ex, John (Chris Evans), a guy with a complicated past and an empty wallet—but one who once held her heart.

    Watch the Official Clip

    Why Materialists Belongs on Your Must-Watch List

    1. Pedro Pascal Plays a Billionaire with a Heart

    Yes, The Mandalorian himself is trading armor for Armani. Pascal brings Harry to life with vulnerability, warmth, and just enough swagger. Director Celine Song knew he was perfect for the role after a soul-baring chat. “Pedro I’ve known and loved for a while, but one day we were having a conversation that went very deep about the holiness of love — and the insane difficulty of love, love as a challenge — and I just realized then and there that I was talking to Harry.”

    2. Rom-Com Royalty Inspiration

    Pascal drew on some big-screen charmers to shape Harry’s persona, “I thought a lot about Harrison Ford in Working Girl, the George Clooney of the last 30 years, even as far back as Carey Grant,” Pascall recalls.

    3. Celine Song Is Back, and She’s Mixing It Up

    After stunning audiences with Past Lives, Song returns with a story that tackles modern romance with her signature emotional depth. “It was really important for Harry to not be a villain, or for him to not be a joke,” she says. “So I needed somebody who is completely lovable. Because with somebody who is Mr. Perfect, the truth is that we’re going to hate that guy. But the fact that Pedro is playing this character so vulnerably, we can’t help but be charmed by and love. He’s like an open wound.”

    4. It’s More Than Just a Love Triangle

    At its core, Materialists explores what we really value in a relationship—security or soulmates? It’s witty, heartfelt, and deeply relatable. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or a cautious realist, there’s something in Lucy’s story that’ll hit home.

  • Jennifer Love Hewitt & Freddie Prinze Jr. Reunite in Terrifying New Chapter of “I Know What You Did Last Summer”

    Jennifer Love Hewitt & Freddie Prinze Jr. Reunite in Terrifying New Chapter of “I Know What You Did Last Summer”

    The Fisherman Returns: A Nostalgic Horror Revival

    Something wicked this way slashes—I Know What You Did Last Summer is back with a vengeance, and this time, the original scream king and queen are returning to the blood-soaked scene.

    IKWYDLS JenniferLoveHewitt

    Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reunite on screen as Julie James and Ray Bronson, the Southport Massacre survivors, in a brand-new spine-chilling continuation of the 1997 cult classic.

    Slated for release in Philippine cinemas on July 30, this latest installment promises more thrills, more secrets, and a new generation of unsuspecting victims.

    FreddiePrinzeJR IKWYDLS

    A New Legacy of Terror

    Directed and written by Do Revenge visionary Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the film bridges old-school horror with a modern twist. For Robinson, it was essential to honor the legacy while exploring the emotional aftermath nearly three decades later.

    “Working with Freddie and Jen was amazing,” says Robinson. “It was important to me to make sure that both of their stories felt like a continuation. We wanted to know, how would something like this affect them 27 years later? Who would they become, and how will that inform how they advise and help this younger group?”

    Watch the Trailer Here

    Julie & Ray: Older, Wiser, Still Haunted

    Jennifer Love Hewitt reprises her role as Julie James, now a psychology professor. When a string of killings echoes her traumatic past, the new generation seeks her help.

    “Julie is all the things that she was but more grown up and wiser. She retains all the gumption and moxie she learned over those earlier stories, and now brings all that with her.”

    Freddie Prinze Jr., whose character Ray Bronson now owns a bar, also steps back into the fray, drawn into the mystery once again alongside his former flame.

    “Jenn wasn’t going to throw away the past,” he explains. “She treats it with the respect it deserves, while also demonstrating what makes her such an innovative writer and director. In Jenn’s 2022 film Do Revenge, you could see the sort of sexiness that she would bring to I Know What You Did Last Summer. As a horror fan, I think horror movies are, in a unique way, rather beautiful.”

    Card IKWYDLS

    A Killer Nostalgia Trip, Just in Time

    The film’s plot centers on five friends who, after covering up a deadly accident, find themselves stalked by a mysterious killer with ties to the original 1997 murders. As the body count rises, they uncover links to Julie and Ray’s terrifying past.

    With nods to fan-favorite moments, chilling suspense, and Robinson’s stylish storytelling, this isn’t just a sequel—it’s a full-circle horror event.

    “She loves Julie and Ray, the story, and even the Fisherman. So, all that love has gone into this new version, and you can see it and you can feel it. I really respect Jenn and honor her for that,” Love Hewitt continues, “because horror movie fans are very specific, and they will feel her love of the franchise in this movie.”

    Secrets Never Die: “I Know What You Did Last Summer” Slashes Back to the Big Screen

    Horror’s Golden Era Just Got a Killer Update

    Remember that one summer you wanted to forget? So do they.

    Madelyn IKWYDLS

    The scream-worthy 1997 hit I Know What You Did Last Summer is slashing its way back to cinemas—reimagined, reinvigorated, and ready to haunt a whole new generation. Producer Neal H. Moritz, the original mind behind the franchise, is once again behind the wheel… and this time, the stakes are sharper than ever.

    “Horror fans have always had a soft spot for this franchise, and we felt there was still something here – a great central idea that could resonate with a new generation. We came at the new film with passion for the material, a willingness to evolve the story, and a real respect for the fans who still talk about the original.”

    A Familiar Secret with a Dangerous New Twist

    In this stylish reboot, a fateful accident binds five friends in a deadly pact. They vow to keep it buried, but one year later, someone’s back—and they remember everything. As their mysterious stalker closes in, the group uncovers a horrifying truth: this isn’t the first time it’s happened.

    To unravel the nightmare, they must turn to the survivors of the Southport Massacre—the only ones who’ve lived to tell the tale.

    Watch The Official Trailer:

    Directed With Heart—and Horror

    At the helm is writer-director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, bringing her unique energy and a touch of nostalgia. A longtime fan of the original, Robinson’s connection to the franchise runs deep.

    “The original was the first R-rated movie I ever snuck into,” she recalls. “My babysitter wanted to see it, and I ended up going with her. Afterwards, my mom got really angry, but I didn’t care because I was so mesmerized by it.”

    With her signature style, Robinson revives the crackling tension and witty tone of Kevin Williamson’s original script while crafting something bold and brand new.

    “I wanted the film to be big, brash and scary, but also retain the crackly fun, clever, witty vibe of the first movie,” Robinson says. “We made certain that Kevin Williamson’s amazing tone was present, while making sure to offer a fresh take. I think the tone rides that perfect line between modern horror and throwback summer slasher.”

    Chase IKWYDLS

    The Horror of Human Mistakes

    Beyond the blood and suspense lies a story rooted in reality—about the ripple effect of one bad decision.

    “This movie is about people making a mistake, then making the wrong choice, and the consequences that follow. It’s a deeply human story. Anyone could mess up like our characters do. That’s what sucks you into the story, because you’re thinking, what would I do in this situation? For me, horror is most interesting when it’s grounded in very real stakes.”

  • Rihanna Finds Her Smurfy Match: “Smurfette is Independent, Sassy, and Strong”— “Smurfs” Opens in Cinemas July 16

    Rihanna Finds Her Smurfy Match: “Smurfette is Independent, Sassy, and Strong”— “Smurfs” Opens in Cinemas July 16

    Rihanna is taking blue to the next level.

    The Grammy-winning global superstar stars as the voice of Smurfette in the highly anticipated Smurfs, hitting Philippine cinemas on July 16. A longtime fan of the lovable blue crew, Rihanna steps into the animated world not just as a voice actor, but also as a producer and musical contributor.

    SMU FF 016

    “So many mornings, I woke up long before I was supposed to get ready for school just to get that dose of Smurfs,” remembers Rihanna, who also serves as producer and musical contributor for this year’s Smurfs movie. “I related so much to Smurfette and what she stood for. First of all, I have always loved makeup and hair. We all know that. And she’s an esthetician. She’s also a powerful leader, independent, strong, beautiful, sassy, witty and very empathetic. I was super-inspired by all of that. I think she loves music too and her favorite genres are hip-hop, reggae, Afrobeats, ballads and house. That’s Smurfette. She needs options.”

    From Barbados to Blueville: Rihanna’s Childhood Fave Returns to the Big Screen

    Growing up in Barbados, Rihanna didn’t have a wide variety of TV shows to enjoy, but The Smurfs was a childhood staple. “So many mornings, I’d wake up early just to catch them,” she recalls. Now, decades later, she gets to embody the very Smurf who inspired her growing up.

    In this reimagined adventure, Smurfette leads the Smurfs into the real world on a bold rescue mission. When Papa Smurf (voiced by John Goodman) is mysteriously taken by evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel, it’s up to Smurfette and her pint-sized pals to discover their true destiny and save the universe.

    Watch The Trailer Here:

    A Smurftacular Voice Cast & Vision

    The film boasts an epic all-star lineup: Rihanna, James Corden, Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Dan Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Maya Erskine, Billie Lourd, Xolo Maridueña, with Kurt Russell and John Goodman.

    Director Chris Miller—also a childhood fan—aims to take audiences on a fresh, thrilling ride. “It opened my world up to the possibilities of what animation could be like,” says Miller, who was also a fan of the 1980s animated TV series as a kid. “In this film, audiences will see Smurfs in a way that no one’s ever seen before. Using the original Peyo comics as a blueprint, we’ve reinvigorated the franchise. We brought the world of the comic book into a computer-generated universe that is immersive and tactile.”

    SMU FF 060 0

    Honoring Legacy, Celebrating the Future

    A key highlight for Rihanna during production? Meeting the family of Peyo, the legendary Belgian artist who created the Smurfs. They’re so invested,” she says. “They were an important part of the entire process. We just want to make everyone proud and introduce a new generation to Smurfs. We are super excited to take the audiences with us on a magical journey into the amazing world of Smurfs. This is a huge movie about the smallest heroes in the universe. It’s a big-time adventure with action, music, laughter and the cutest daredevils you’ve ever seen.”

    With catchy songs, breathtaking animation, and the tiniest heroes in the biggest adventure, Smurfs promises fun for the whole family.
