“Power Book II: Ghost” Season 3 Trailer: Watch

by

Today (February 16), Starz released the trailer for the next season of Power Book II: Ghost. The trailer gives fans a glimpse into the highly-anticipated third season of the hit drama series. The show was created by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Courtney A. Kemp. The intense trailer shows audiences pieces of the brand-new twists, turns, and murders that will shake the show’s characters this season. Characters Tariq, Brayden, and the Tejada family grieve the death of Zeke. Based on the synopsis, this season is going to be “flashier, juicer, and sexier, with even more family drama, betrayals, and surprising new alliances.”

The previous season of Power Book II: Ghost left fans begging for more. Tariq is on a quest to get out of the game and reconnect with his family. Brayden possibly betrayed him before he was taken out of school. Additionally, the Tejada family has a substantial amount of product to distribute– more than ever before. Also, Riq has little to no options to cut ties with the family. The Tejada’s family matriarch is setting out to avenge Zeke’s death. She is also fighting to keep Davis MacLean, a criminal defense attorney, off her back. Another question that needs answers is if Effie got rid of Riq’s girlfriend, Lauren. Watch the trailer for Power Book II: Ghost season 3 here.

Owen Wilson Emulates Bob Ross in New Trailer For “Paint”

by

IFC has officially released the trailer for the new comedy Paint. Owen Wilson stars and portrays a Bob Ross-esque character of comedic proportions. In the film, Wilson plays Carl Nargle. He is Vermont’s top TV painter with anything he could ever ask for. He prides himself on his strong fanbase of fawning women and his even stronger perm. What more could he need? However, a younger artist steps into the world of TV painting, giving him competition and derailing his perfect life. Wilson’s character, Nargle, is a clear nod to Bob Ross, who led the PBS instructional painting program, The Joy of Painting, for 11 years from 1983-1994. He passed away in 1995 at age 52.

Wilson leads the film, Paint. He’s known for his previous roles in iconic comedies like Zoolander and Wedding Crashers. Also, fans know Wilson from The Royal Tenenbaums, Bottle Rocket, Marley & Me, The French Dispatch, the Cars franchise, Marry Me, and Loki. Additionally, he has an upcoming film, Haunted Mansion, set to release in April 2023. He will be co-starring with the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis, Jared Leto, Tiffany Haddish, Danny DeVito, and Winona Ryder.

Watch the ‘Paint’ Trailer

Joining Wilson in the film, Paint, is Michaela Watkins (Wanderlust), Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs), Ciara Renée (The Flash), Lusia Strus (50 First Dates), Stephen Root (Barry), and Lucy Freyer. In addition, the cast includes Denny Dillon (Saturday Night Fever), Evander Duck Jr. (Orange Is the New Black), Will Blagrove (Inside Amy Schumer), and Ryan Czerwonko (Chicago Med).

Brit McAdams wrote and directed the film. His impressive work also includes Katt Williams: American Hustle, Triviatown, Tosh.0, Atom TV, and #IMomSoHard. Sam Maydew and Peter Brant produced the film with associate producer Aaaa Myers. Wilson, Joel David Moore, Amy Jarvela, and Richard J. Bosner are executive producers for the comedy. Given the talented team surrounding the film and the clear nod to the beloved Bob Ross, there are high expectations for this film. Paint premieres in theaters on April 7, 2023. The film will stream exclusively on AMC+ later in the year. Comment below with your thoughts on the trailer, and tell us if you’re planning on seeing this comedy.

“White Men Can’t Jump” Trailer Stars Jack Harlow As Basketball Player Billy Hoyle

by

Less than a year ago, the news broke that Jack Harlow was cast as the leading man in the forthcoming White Men Can’t Jump reboot. Previously it was Woody Harrelson who brought the beloved character Billy Hoyle to life, but he’s made it clear that he co-signs the rapper as his replacement. Today (February 5), the movie’s first trailer arrived, giving audiences their first look at his big acting debut.

The “WHAT’S POPPIN” stars opposite Sinqua Walls in the reboot. As the preview begins, Skee-lo’s “I Wish” blasts while we’re introduced to the two stars in character. “I probably should have asked this earlier, but how much cash do you have on you?” the Kentucky native asks his friend as they stand in front of a basketball net.

“Did you not bring enough money to cover this game?” Walls’ character responds back, the concern in his eyes evident. “I brought like $80… Minus $60,” Harlow sheepishly admits while two menacing-looking men watch from the side. Elsewhere in the 30-second clip, we see some of the recording artist’s baller skills, which he worked hard to improve upon – specifically at Kawhi Leonard’s request.

So far, Twitter users seem to be mostly optimistic about White Men Can’t Jump. While some obviously still have their doubts, others are eager to see if the 24-year-old could potentially appear in other future projects. “I’m intrigued because I like Jack Harlow,” one person wrote this afternoon. “Script will depict his performance.”

“Sorry, I don’t see the same personality and charisma that Snipes and Harrelson had,” another user argued. “I’ll pass. Hope I’m wrong.” Someone else, still, brought a close friend of the rapper’s into the conversation. “Jack Harlow makes better skits with Druski than that WMCJ trailer,” they quipped.

Apart from the new trailer, things have been relatively quiet on Harlow’s front as of late. In mid-December, sources said that he and Dua Lipa have struck up a romantic relationship after he named a song after her on his sophomore album last year. At the time, the English songstress didn’t seem to reciprocate his interest, but that all may have changed.

Unfortunately, we haven’t heard any updates on their status as a couple lately. As the White Men Can’t Jump premiere nears closer, though, it’s possible we may see them take over the red carpet together. Read all about the rumoured young lovers here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

“Murder Mystery 2” Trailer: Adam Sandler & Jennifer Aniston Take Their Crime-Solving Antics To Paris

by

We’ve had droves of new music coming out already in 2023 – now it’s time to start getting excited about the year’s upcoming movie releases. While some huge titles like Margot Robbie’s Barbie and Halle Bailey’s The Little Mermaid will be making their debut in theatres, others, like Murder Mystery 2 will be available on Netflix for your streaming pleasure.

On Monday (January 30), the platform unveiled the long-awaited trailer for the 2019 favourite’s sequel. Starring Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, the original movie went on to become the year’s most-streamed project, though it earned just a 44% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Murder Mystery found the on-screen couple attempting to revive their marriage’s spark in Europe. The follow-up takes place four years later, as Nick and Audrey Spitz (Sandler and Aniston) are working as full-time detectives with aspirations of launching their own private eye agency.

As PEOPLE notes, a wedding invitation comes their way from Maharaja (played by Adeel Akhtar), who requests their presence on his private island. “Trouble follows the Spitzes again when the groom is kidnapped for ransom soon after the festivities begin — making each glamorous guest, family member and the bride herself a suspect,” a synopsis explains.

Aside from the Uncut Gems lead and the Friends starlet, other MM2 cast members include Jodie Turner-Smith, Mélanie Laurent, Dany Boon, and Mark Strong, among others.

In today’s trailer, it was confirmed that the highly anticipated movie will make its debut on March 31.

If you’re in need of a Netflix recommendation while we wait for the arrival of Murder Mystery 2, we suggest you stream You People. The comedy stars Jonah Hill, Lauren London, Nia Long, Eddie Murphy, and more – it’s a must-watch for anyone in need of a good laugh.

FX Shares Trailer For “Snowfall” Season 6

by

FX has shared a new trailer for the sixth and final season of Snowfall. The official synopsis states the season will take place in 1986 as “civil war threatens to destroy the Saint family.” 

“Franklin is faced with losing everyone he loves and everything he’s built,” the description reads. “And getting through it will mean out-maneuvering the KGB, the DEA and the CIA, as well as avoiding the LAPD’s corrupt C.R.A.S.H units. When everyone has their backs against the wall, who will they become in order to survive?”

Snowfall first aired back in 2017 revolving around the first crack epidemic and its impact on Los Angeles. The series stars Damson Idris, Carter Hudson, Emily Rios, and more.

Co-creator Dave Andron recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the upcoming sixth season. He admitted that the final episodes will feel a “little heavier” than usual.

“I think we’ve always tried to keep a bit of the light touch in this show,” he said. “Obviously, the show is about very serious things and about a very dark moment in American history. We’ve tried to kind of find some of the levity in that because there is a lot of humor in the situations in the world, and it’s part of how people survive day to day. I think this last season, the story has to ultimately be a tragedy, and this last season is going to feel, I think, a little heavier.”

He further said: “The last two seasons I think you can feel the moments when we’re trying to have things have a lighter touch, and then the last two episodes settle into a very specific tone. And I think the last season is going to be more represented by that tone.”

Season six will air on February 22 at 10:00 PM, ET. Check out the new trailer for season six of Snowfall below.

Rihanna Drops Super Bowl Halftime Show Trailer

by

Rihanna’s highly anticipated performance at the Super Bowl is weeks away, though fans aren’t entirely sure what to expect. It’s been over half a decade since she’s graced a stage, and fans are desperately begging for new music. Though it seems unlikely that new music will follow, the trailer for her upcoming performance has certainly built excitement.

Apple Music released the trailer titled, “Rihanna Is Back.” The 30-second clip opens up with a compilation of news segments announcing her return. “It’s been six years since the nine-time Grammy-winner dropped an album,” one person’s heard saying. Another adds, “Dude, Rihanna, we’ve waited for you.”

Eventually, the spotlight turns to Rihanna who raises her finger to her mouth in a motion of silence as her single, “Needed Me” rings out.

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation announced Rihanna as the Super Bowl halftime performer last year, a few months after she welcomed her firstborn child with A$AP Rocky. Jay shared a statement calling Rih a “generational talent.”

“Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn,” Hov said. “A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.”

Though Rihanna might be coming back to the stage, it seems unlikely that new music will follow. Last year, she released her first pieces of music in six years with “Lift Me Up” for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever OST. She also shared “Born Again” for the film’s soundtrack.

Check out the trailer for Rihanna’s upcoming performance below. What songs do you want to hear her perform at the Super Bowl? Let us know in the comment section below.

Chrisean Rock Reacts After Blueface Blocks Her & Deletes Their Music Video From His Page: Watch

by

Their relationship was nothing short of rocky throughout 2022. Still, Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s endless antics landed them a reality TV show of their own – something most people only ever dream of.

Crazy In Love premiered on Zeus back in December and has shed further light on the pair’s toxic tendencies. Specifically, we’ve seen the California-born rapper feuding with several of her family members. From a physical altercation with her father to a stern conversation with her older brother, Blue has no shortage of pressure on him from his girlfriend’s family.

Interestingly, though, the series frequently finds Rock and her beau bickering over the status of their relationship. At times, they seem to have a common understanding of their joint money-making potential. This may be what constantly pulls them back together. However, a recent episode saw the 22-year-old refer to their situation as a “forced-ass relationship,” which many viewers agreed with.

In today’s (January 8) episode, it seems we’ll only witness more of the same feuding, though Blueface is the one acting childish this time around. In one clip circulating online, the reality starlet vents about her frustration over the “Thotiana” hitmaker taking a trip to Las Vegas without her.

“I said, ‘Alright, I’m gonna go to Baltimore. You can have fun in Vegas,’” Rock tells her friend while riding in the car as the cameras roll. “Bro blocked me, now we’re texting on Instagram,” she went on.

“What the f*ck? He blocked you?” her companion asked. Chrisean then shared that aside from that, he also deleted a joint music video of theirs from his page. “He’s trying to get my attention,” she declared. After letting out a sigh, the social media figure confirms, “It’s working.”

In another clip, however, her mood seems to have turned as she was ready to take her “rich p*ssy” out on the town, minus Blue.

In other news, Blueface recently got caught up in a Baltimore blowout that left a man unconscious. Read all about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

“You People” Netflix Trailer Expertly Roasts Drake’s “Views” Era

by

Not all Netflix Original films are made equally. However, an upcoming one has managed to capture the public’s attention in particular. You People, which stars Superbad actor Jonah Hill and California native Lauren London, received a new trailer a few days ago. Of course, fans couldn’t help but notice the way it expertly roasts Drake.

Specifically, the new clip finds the 39-year-old’s character, Ezra, chatting with comedian Sam Jay about his love life. “I don’t think I’ve heard of a man ever who wanted to be in a relationship so badly besides Drake. And I’m talking ‘Views’ Drake,” the latter quips. This comes after hearing his friend talk about the lack of romance in his life.

As HipHopDX notes, the trailer later shows scenes of the characters living their daily lives. “I feel like ‘Views’ Drake,” Hill’s voice says. “Alone, on a building, dangling my legs off wondering what it’s like to feel companionship,” he adds, referencing the project’s famous artwork.

From what we know about You People so far, Ezra later has a chance encounter with Amira (played by London). As they get to know each other better, her conservative Muslim parents and his “progressive, semi-woke” Jewish parents also spend more time together. The latter’s family comes to life via Seinfeld‘s Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny.

Other celebrities who appear in the project include La La Anthony, Deon Cole, Mike Epps, and even City Girl Yung Miami. This marks Caresha’s second acting credit, as she already aided 50 Cent with his BMF series last year.

Playing Amira’s parents are two Hollywood legends – Nia Long and Eddie Murphy. They hit up several Los Angeles hot spots throughout filming. London previously said this was her favourite part of the project.

“My favourite location was Simply Wholesome,” she told Tudum. “Growing up in LA, I used to walk to Simply Wholesome and grab a patty or a smoothie. Being inside a Black establishment that promotes wellness and health in the heart of our community, and that business being highlighted and shown in a big-budget film, that was very special.”

Check out Netflix’s new trailer for You People below. Afterward, let us know in the comments if you plan to check out the film upon its January 27 premiere.

First Trailer For Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” Is Here

by

The first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s next film, Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy is here. The movie will detail the life of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who led the development of the first atomic bomb.

The cast is rounded out by Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Gary Oldman, Rami Malek, and more.

“They won’t fear it until they understand it,” Murphy’s titular character says in the trailer. “And they won’t understand it until they’ve used it.”

Nolan has previously said that he recreated a nuclear weapon detonation without relying on CGI effects. He detailed the difficult process during a recent interview with Total Film.

“I think recreating the Trinity test without the use of computer graphics was a huge challenge to take on,” Nolan told the outlet. “Andrew Jackson—my visual effects supervisor, I got him on board early on—was looking at how we could do a lot of the visual elements of the film practically, from representing quantum dynamics and quantum physics to the Trinity test itself, to recreating, with my team, Los Alamos up on a mesa in New Mexico in extraordinary weather, a lot of which was needed for the film, in terms of the very harsh conditions out there—there were huge practical challenges.”

While released officially on Sunday night, the trailer debuted ahead of showings of Avatar: The Way of Water throughout the weekend. Oppenheimer will be Nolan’s first film since 2020’s Tenet. It is based on the biography, American Prometheus.

Oppenheimer will hit theaters on July 21, 2023.

Check out the new trailer for Oppenheimer below.
