Booksmart Trailer: Olivia Wilde’s New Movie Looks Like the Female ‘Superbad’


The trailer for Olivia Wilde‘s directorial debut is here, and it will give you major Superbad vibes. Don’t get it twisted, though. It’s a hilarious, wildly original movie all its own. Titled Booksmart, the flick centers on two high school seniors, Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein, who played Julie in Lady Bird), who played it safe all four years but want to experience one crazy night before college.

“Nobody knows that we are fun,” Molly tells Amy in the trailer. “We didn’t party because we wanted to focus on school and get into good colleges—but the irresponsible people who partied also got into those colleges.”

What transpires is a night of adolescent debauchery straight out of Superbad. (It’s a fitting comparison, given that Jonah Hill is Feldstein’s older brother.) They spray some mace, rob a pizza delivery guy, do lots of joyriding, and…get arrested? “This seems excessive,” Amy says while in handcuffs. “Shotgun!”

The movie debuted at the South by Southwest Festival this week to rave reviews. Everyone on Twitter is talking about how it’s the new and improved Superbad—which is a high honor, given that movie’s place in pop culture. “This movie looks awesome. It looks like a female-lead Superbad. Which is not only the highest compliment I could give, but also what I would have LOVED as a teenager (and prob still will). @BeanieFeldstein should be in everything! @oliviawilde, direct all the things,” tweeted one person.

“Booksmart: wow. You’re going to hear ‘Superbad for girls.’ And yeah in premise. But Olivia Wilde has made a blazingly original coming-of-age buddy comedy that’s fresh and phenomenally funny,” tweeted someone else who appears to have attended the festival.

Watch the First Hilarious Trailer for Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson’s ‘Late Night’


Get excited, people, because the first trailer for Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson‘s new movie, Late Night, is officially here.

The film has been riding a wave of buzz since it premiered at Sundance and was subsequently purchased by Amazon Studios for a record-breaking $13 million. This new trailer sets the scene and the tone (sharp and hilarious, of course) as Thompson’s character, Katherine Newbury, is in danger of being ousted from her long-running late-night talk show. Enter Kaling’s Molly, who provides a perspective that’s lacking in the all-white male writers room. Katherine hopes Molly can help shake things up enough to save the show. “You’re a little old and a little white,” says Molly of her new boss. And Katherine says, “I need your pushiness and lack of boundaries.”

A story centered on two smart, complicated women making their way in a world primarily dominated by white men? You had me at “hello.” But after watching the trailer, I’m even more excited. Not that I should have doubted the dialogue would be quick (Kaling also wrote and produced the movie) or the performances great (it’s Emma freaking Thompson, who along with being one of our greatest living actors, is also a badass who stands up to sexual harassment). Even better: The movie also has a female director, Nisha Ganatra.

“I think this movie setting a record at Sundance is so important because the leads are a woman over the age of 50 and a woman of color,” Ganatra told Glamour at Sundance. “That, sadly, is radical alone, but there was so much talk of ‘Oh my God, will this make money? Is this marketable? Who will go see this?’ The fact that this movie broke the record at Sundance is so significant and so exciting and so amazing because it validates that you can tell your story. You can tell the story that people don’t think is worth telling, and it will find its audience and people will reward you for it.”

Late Night hits theaters June 7, 2019.

Shrill Trailer: Watch Aidy Bryant Take on Fat-Shamers


Stop what you’re doing, people: Hulu just dropped a new trailer for its upcoming series Shrill, based on the popular book by Lindy West. The six-episode series stars Aidy Bryant as Annie, a plus-size writer trying to navigate life amidst fat-shaming strangers and passive-aggressive relatives. Her world opens, though, when she attends a body-positive event called the “Fat Babe Pool Party.” It’s there where Annie gains the confidence to live life on her own terms—regardless of what people think.

Before the party, Annie is stuck in a rut. She’s hooking up with a guy who makes her leave his house through the backdoor; she’s an assistant calendar editor at a publication but dreams of writing feature stories; and she’s following a diet called the “Thin Menu,” which has her subsisting on pale, unappetizing pancakes (if you can even call them that) and a handful of almonds every few hours.

But there’s a shift after Annie attends the “Fat Babe Pool Party.” She demands more respect from that aforementioned hookup, starts loving her body more, and gets ahead at work by self-publishing a story about body image, which eventually goes viral. (But at a cost: The article makes her the target of a fat-shaming troll, who leaves her disparaging messages in a sea of positive comments. Been there, girl.)

Watch the full first trailer for yourself, below:

Luka Jones, Lolly Adefope, John Cameron Mitchell, and Julia Sweeney star alongside Bryant in Shrill. Here’s the official synopsis from Hulu: “A fat young woman who wants to change her life — but not her body. Annie is trying to start her career while juggling bad boyfriends, a sick parent, and a perfectionist boss.”

The series is executive produced by Elizabeth Banks and Lorne Michaels and features Lindy West as a writer and producer. All six episodes will debut March 15 on Hulu.

The Hustle Trailer: Watch Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson Hilariously Scam Men


In The Hustle, two badass women are all it takes to scam men out of millions (if not billions) of dollars.

Thanks to Anna Delvey, who notoriously grifted her way through SoHo (and ended up inspiring not one but two competing TV shows about her con) and the entire Fyre Festival fiasco, the word “scammer” has been on the tip of everyone’s tongues for at least two years now. Of course, Hollywood has followed suit and made a blockbuster for our times with The Hustle.

In this adaptation of Frank Oz’s 1988 film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, which starred Steve Martin and Michael Caine, it appears that Rebel Wilson has met her match in Anne Hathaway. Hathaway plays a seasoned scammer who teaches Wilson “her sugar baby ways,” which include performative vulnerability, knife-throwing skills, and blending in with one’s surroundings. This is all so they can work together to swindle a young tech dynamo (played by Alex Sharp) out of his millions (or possibly billions, as Wilson points out). Why shake down so many rich men out of jewels and money, you ask? The answer is simple: because they can. Do you need a better reason than that?

“Why are women better suited for the con than men?” Hathaway asks in the movie. “Because no man will ever believe a woman is smarter than he is.”

Hathaway is no-doubt bringing her Ocean’s 8–honed heist chops to The Hustle (she was the best part of that movie, and I won’t be challenged), while Wilson delivers the riotous physical comedy she’s known for in movies like Pitch Perfect and the recently-released romantic comedy Isn’t It Romantic.

Check out the full trailer for The Hustle, below:

It looks like scammer season has just been extended to May 10, 2019, which is when The Hustle hits theaters nationwide.

Game of Thrones Fans Think Jon Snow's Statue in the Season 8 Trailer Reveals a Huge Clue


HBO dropped the first teaser for Game of Thrones season eight on Sunday night (January 13), and, as expected, fans are already excavating it for clues and hidden meanings. Of course, some of them are a stretch, but a few actually have merit—like a theory currently trending on Reddit about Jon Snow’s statue from the trailer.

For context, go back and watch the teaser for yourself, below, and pay close attention to the statues it reveals of Arya, Sansa, and Jon. Notice how Arya and Sansa’s figures portray them as they are now—young—but Jon’s depicts him as an older man. Some fans are taking this to mean that Jon Snow is the only one who survives when everything is said and done. That’s a bold conclusion, sure, but Game of Thrones is a bold show.

“For me this trailer solidifies Jon as the main protagonist of the story,” one Redditor writes. “Whatever the ending is going to be, it’s going to be about Jon. He will be the hero, the ruler; he will defeat the Night King and save the realm. He’s not going to die, unless it’s as a final sacrifice.”

Others, however, think people may be reading too much into this. One fan points to a similar death theory that popped up in season six but never panned out. “Remember season six promos with all the faces of the lead actors in the hall of the Many Faced God? Everyone had theories on which one was gonna die, none of those characters died in that season,” they write. Good point!

There’s also another big Easter egg in this trailer: the frozen feather that falls when Jon passes the remains of his late mother, Lyanna. For context: The audience knows Lyanna is Jon’s mom, but he doesn’t. As this happens, we hear Lyanna’s voice faintly say, “You have to protect him.” “Him” is referring to Jon, who is the true heir to the Iron Throne. He just doesn’t know it yet. (Sansa put this exact feather on Lyanna’s statue back in season five.)

There’s so much going on in this trailer! Catch fans coming up with 500 more theories from it between now and when season eight premieres on April 14.

You Need to Watch the New Men in Black International Trailer Just for Tessa Thompson's Suits


Hollywood loves a franchise reboot, but it can make the box office feel a little repetitive. I mean, just because we already know and a universe doesn’t mean we need to revisit it every five to ten years. But I have a strong feeling that Men in Black International, which comes out this summer, will be different—and for one very specific reason: Tessa Thompson in suits. (Chris Hemsworth is there, too, I guess.)

Thompson and Hemsworth play agents of the Men in Black’s international operations, working alongside Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson to monitor and police alien activity on Earth. (Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, though alluded to, are nowhere to be seen.) The latest installment of the beloved franchise is set primarily in the U.K. and Morocco—but despite the new backdrop, the uniform remains the same. And my goodness, do they look great in those signature black suits.

The first trailer for Men in Black International just dropped, and it’s pretty much a perfect two-and-a-half minutes. I mean, it starts with Thompson walking into the MIB offices in New York wearing a skirt suit, greeted by the other Thompson in a skirt suit. Emma’s character asks, “You really think a black suit is going to solve all your problems?” Tessa perfectly answers, “No, but it looks damn good on you.” I had to pause for a brief shrieking break.

But then—then—you hear, “Oh, snap!” Which signals the beginning of Fergie’s iconic 2006 hit, “London Bridge.” Because they’re going to London. Get it? Another pause for shrieking. Like I said, this trailer is perfect.

You can watch the whole clip above, which sets the scene for a secret global mission that Thompson and Hemsworth, the best celebrity duo to be brought together by the Hollywood machine since Tiffany Haddish and Maya Rudolph at the Oscars, will undertake on the big screen next summer. And I’m beyond ready for two hours of watching them look amazing in suits, preferably in IMAX quality.

Because, hi…

Hello…

I see you…

Men in Black: International arrives in theaters on June 14, 2019, and you will definitely see me there. (Will it be too much if I show up wearing a slim-fit suit?)
