On the cusp of graduating law school, he is approached by a representative of the Talamasca, a secretive agency that monitors and protects us from the supernatural world. When Guy learns that the Talamasca has been tracking him since his childhood, he falls headlong into a world of secret agents and immortal beings who, up to now, have maintained a fragile balance with the mortal world.

And not just any movie star – Lance is the spitting image of a Hollywood icon, James Jansen. Lance is about to travel to Los Angeles to make his dream come true. Lance is going to be famous, no matter what it takes…”

It’s all fun and games until someone ends up dead for one wealthy family and their friends in Netflix’s The Perfect Couple. A detective on the case declares, “These people are used to getting whatever they want. The minute they feel they are losing control, they burn it all down,” and truer words have never been spoken.
The murder mystery’s official trailer arrived just ahead of its September 5, 2024 premiere and features Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Meghann Fahy, Eve Hewson, and Dakota Fanning. Ishaan Khatter, Billy Howle, and Jack Reynor also star in the six-episode limited series.
“Amelia Sacks is about to marry into one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket. Her disapproving future mother-in-law, famous novelist Greer Garrison Winbury, has spared no expense in planning what promises to be the premiere wedding of the season — until a body turns up on the beach,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “As secrets come to light, the stage is set for a real-life investigation that feels plucked from the pages of one of Greer’s novels. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect.”
Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s bestseller, The Perfect Couple was adapted by Jenna Lamia who serves as showrunner and executive producer. Susanne Bier directs and executive produces, with author Hilderbrand also involved as an executive producer. Additional executive producers include Josh Barry, 21 Laps Entertainment’s Shawn Levy, Gail Berman and Hend Baghdady for The Jackal Group, and Nicole Kidman and Per Saari for Blossom Films.
Director Ali Abbasi has launched a Kickstarter campaign in support of The Apprentice. Coming off of its North American premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, Briarcliff Entertainment announced the film starring Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump would get an October 11, 2024 theatrical release. The pre-election date release is good news for Abbasi and his controversial movie. However, the filmmaker wants to expand the film’s audience via the “Release the Apprentice” Kickstarter campaign.
“The Apprentice is first and foremost humanist, which makes it radically different from all the political noise,” stated executive producer Amy Baer.
“Despite the integrity of the film and without even seeing it, Trump’s campaign sought to suppress it,” said producer Dan Bekerman. “The idea that artists can no longer freely criticize the powerful should concern us all. We need your help to resoundingly reject this dangerous precedent.”
The Apprentice was written by Gabriel Sherman and stars Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump, Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn, and Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump.
“A young Donald Trump (Stan), eager to make his name as a hungry scion of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn (Strong), the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today,” reads the official synopsis. “Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé—someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win.”
Director Abassi, Louis Tisne, Scythia Films’ Daniel Bekerman, Profile Pictures’ Jacob Jarek, and Tailored Films’ Ruth Treacy and Julianne Forde served as producers. Amy Baer, Gabriel Sherman, Fred Benenson, Compton Ross, Thorsten Schumacher, Levi Woodward, and Niamh Fagan executive produce. Additional executive producers include Greg Denny, James Shani, Noor Alfallah, Andy Cohen, Andrew Frank, Neil Mathieson, Lee Broda, Blair Ward, Brian Tyler Cohen, and Anders Erden.
“The crowdfunding campaign features tiered reward levels based on donation amounts, including a $25 donation which allows fans to stream the film after it hits theaters, and a $100 donation which entitles fans to see their name in a special section on the end credits roller. Higher level pledges include one of three actual toupees worn by Sebastian Stan on-screen and VIP tickets to attend the film’s Premiere in NYC. All backers will be provided with an official ‘Backer Badge Kit’ that they can use to amplify the film and the campaign.”
2022’s Smile proved how truly terrifying the titular facial expression can be. The 2024 sequel, Smile 2, picks up the twisted tale with a new main character: a pop star who witnesses a bizarre death.
“About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events,” reads Paramount Pictures’ synopsis. “Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, Skye is forced to face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control.”
Smile‘s Kyle Gallner returns for the sequel. The cast also includes Rosemarie DeWitt, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Ray Nicholson, Dylan Gelula, and Raúl Castillo. Plus, the trailer teases a brief appearance by Drew Barrymore.
The original film’s writer and director Parker Finn returns to handle both duties on the sequel. Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, Isaac Klausner, Parker Finn, and Robert Salerno serve as producers.
Smile posted a $22 million opening weekend gross when it hit theaters on September 30, 2022. The R-rated horror film exited theaters after ringing up $217 million worldwide at the box office. With an estimated budget of just $17 million, Smile sits at 80% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Comic-Con favs Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride joined Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, showrunner David Zabel, and executive producer Greg Nicotero for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season two panel and press conference. The new season debuts on AMC on September 29, 2024 at 9pm ET/PT and finds Daryl questioning his decision to remain in France.
During the press conference, the TWD team confirmed the first two six-episode seasons were conceived as a whole. Taking the action to France allowed The Walking Dead spinoff to not only showcase how the apocalypse affected another part of the world but also reinvigorate the franchise.
”You know, the stories are different, the relationships are different, the settings are different, and even the light is different. So, different things happen to us,” offered Norman Reedus when asked how the setting affects his approach to Daryl. “The show’s very different in Europe. You’re on a TV show that’s become such a massive thing. It sort of moves itself, and you get swept up in the monster of it. We reinvented the show, because it looks different, half of it’s in French, it’s completely different, the relationships are different. The show itself feels to me like making art again, like we did in the beginning, of the show in Georgia.”
Without giving away spoilers, Melissa McBride added, “I have to say that one of my favorite scenes is with two of them. The connections that are made between the characters, the landscape of France, it’s so beautiful, but it’s all like a gift wrap to these new things that are evolving within Daryl, for instance. [Norman] goes places I’ve never seen him go before as far as acting, or the character, a little deeper in a very special way.”
Greg Nicotero admits that even though he’s been with the franchise since the very beginning, there are things in season two that surprise him. “There’s the premiere episode, which I directed, there’s a scene with Melissa and Ash and there’s a moment there that I didn’t see coming when I read the script and when we shot it. And it was really interesting because you feel like you know Carol and then she just makes this one statement and it really makes you look at her differently,” says Nicotero. “I really appreciate that they’re getting that opportunity. And it’s the same with Daryl. There are surprises that their characters go through that still give us more layers than they are. “

One of the big topics of conversation surrounding season two was how much French to include. The goal was authenticity, so characters were allowed to speak French when they should. If characters are communicating with Daryl or Carol, then they would speak enough English to communicate. There’s quite a bit of French language in the upcoming season, to go with the season’s European tone.
Basically, according to David Zabel, the goal was to make it feel like a French show. The crew was 97% French, which helped lend to the authenticity as they incorporated French culture and history. Plus, there’s the added element that the disorientation of introducing another language created, lending a vulnerability to these characters we’ve known for over a decade.
”There’s a lot of action coming in season two. The writing is really tight. What we noticed is that there’s a lot going on, but it still breathes,” says McBride. “It’s not just like we have to hit a plot point or have to get from A to B. We’re going to feel this, we’re going to ride this emotion, and we’re going to end up here. So, it feels like a good ride.”
Both McBride and Reedus feel there’s something special about The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol. “I think characters mean a lot to a lot of people. They inspire,” says McBride. “I feel like my character…I feel like we’re having a lot more fun with these characters. Like, there was a lot of heavy stuff to go through to get to this point. Not that there’s not a lot of heavy stuff now. I just feel like it’s something different.”
“It has the energy of the first couple of seasons of our original show. Like, we’re excited. It’s fun to shoot,” confirms Reedus. “But also like you were talking about the language and part being in French is that we don’t know what you’re saying. Are we going to fight? Are we going to get along? And now you’ve got the two of our characters trying to figure stuff out together.”
And one final highlight out of the press conference. Reedus was asked if, given their chemistry, Carol and Daryl will ever get together. “Well, in season three you find out that we’re related,” joked Reedus. “No, I don’t know yet. Never say never.”
