March 25, 2021

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift took to Twitter and Instagram to inform fans of the release of her first song of the “From the Vault” series just one day before its release. Swift revealed she’ll drop the track “You All Over Me (From the Vault)” at midnight on March 25th, with the single marking the first of six never-before-heard songs that will be included on her re-recorded Fearless album.

Fearless (Taylor’s Version) will drop on April 9, 2021. Pre-orders are available now, with the added incentive of an instant copy of Love Story (Taylor’s Version) for fans who order early.

“You All Over Me (From the Vault)” was produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner and features Maren Morris’ backing vocals.

On March 24th Swift wrote on Instagram: “HI. I wanted to let you know that the first ‘From the Vault’ song I’m releasing from Fearless (Taylor’s Version) comes out tomorrow at midnight eastern. It’s called ‘You All Over Me (From the Vault).'”

“One thing I’ve been loving about these ‘From the Vault’ songs is that they’ve never been heard, so I can experiment, play, and even include some of my favorite artists. I am really excited to have Maren Morris singing background vocals on this song!! ‘You All Over Me’ is produced by Aaron Dessner and co-written by Scooter Carusoe – can’t wait for you to hear it,” wrote Swift.

The mega superstar announced in 2019 that she plans to re-record her first six albums. The singer and Scooter Braun had a very public fight over the rights to her music and when Braun acquired her songs Taylor took to Tumblr to slam Scooter and Big Machine Records CEO (where Taylor recorded her first six albums) Scott Borchetta for allegedly preventing her from performing her old songs during the 2019 American Music Awards. Fortunately, Taylor was ultimately able to perform her older songs during the awards show.

Swift released Love Story (Taylor’s Version) last month, and at the time announced the re-recorded version of her second album Fearless. The new version of Fearless contains 26 songs including six never-before-released songs from the vault. Swift revealed most of these songs were written when she was between the ages of 17 and 18.

With one episode down and five to go, Disney+ and Marvel Studios have released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for what’s currently ranked as the streaming service’s most watched series premiere. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier tops Disney+ original series’ biggest opening weekends list followed by WandaVision and the second season premiere of The Mandalorian.

The two-minute “Continuation” video includes interview snippets with director/executive producer Kari Skogland, Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/The Falcon), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier), executive producer/head writer Malcolm Spellman, and executive producer Nate Moore.

Mackie, who describes the scope of the six-episodes as amazing, says, “With this series we’ve been able to give a level of sincerity and humanity to him. You get a real sense of what this character, Sam Wilson, really is.”

“I think fans will definitely get a kick out of seeing the continuation of that kind of filmmaking that those movies had,” says Stan.

Joining Mackie and Stan for a dive into the world of conflicted superheroes are Wyatt Russell, Emily VanCamp, and Daniel Brühl. Erin Kellyman, Georges St. Pierre, Amy Aquino, Adepero Oduye, and Danny Ramirez are also featured in the series.

In Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson/Falcon and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, who came together in the final moments of Avengers: Endgame, team up on a global adventure that tests their abilities — and their patience.

‘In the Earth’ Trailer: A Timely, Twisted Horror Film from Ben Wheatley

March 25, 2021

Neon’s just released a creepy, intense new trailer for the horror film In the Earth from writer/director Ben Wheatley (Rebecca, High Rise). Wheatley’s film is set during a deadly virus and the filmmaker explained he began writing the screenplay in the first weeks of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.

“It was around March, so right at the start. It’s been a weird experience making the movie because it projects into the future, but the future keeps catching up to the film. It’s not the first time that I’ve made a movie that had a really fast turn around and I find that quite interesting that you can almost go into that Sam Fuller space, where you’re ripping movies from the headlines and you’re making stuff that does feel like reportage… It’s kind of the antidote to the fact that Disney is already planning films for the next 10 years and announcing them. When they do that it can feel like nothing new is ever going to happen,” stated Wheatley.

The cast of the R-rated horror film includes Joel Fry (the upcoming Cruella), Ellora Torchia (Midsommar), Hayley Squires (Collateral series), Reece Shearsmith (High Rise), John Hollingworth (Rebecca), and Mark Monero (Free Fire). Wheatley’s behind the scenes team includes production designer Felicity Hickson, director of photography Nick Gillespie, composer Clint Mansell, and costume designer Emma Fryer. In addition to writing and directing, Wheatley also edited In the Earth.

Neon will release In the Earth on April 16, 2021.

The Plot, Courtesy of Neon:

As the world searches for a cure to a disastrous virus, a scientist and park scout venture deep in the forest for a routine equipment run. Through the night, their journey becomes a terrifying voyage through the heart of darkness, the forest coming to life around them.

Academy Award, BAFTA, and Grammy Award nominee Jonny Greenwood (of Radiohead) is composing the score.

Juan de Dios Larraín (Jackie, A Fantastic Woman) for Fabula Films, Jonas Dornbach and Janine Jackowski (Toni Erdmann) for Komplizen Film, and BAFTA award winner and Academy Award nominee Paul Webster (Anna Karenina, Atonement) for Shoebox Films are producing. Tom Quinn, Jeff Deutchman, and Christina Zisa for NEON and Michael Bloom, Maria Zuckerman and Ryan Heller for Topic Studios executive produce.

The Plot, Courtesy of Neon:

Spencer focuses on one weekend in the life of Princess Diana, as she spends the Christmas holiday with the royal family at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, and decides to leave her marriage to Prince Charles.

December, 1991: The Prince and Princess of Wales’ marriage has long since grown cold. Though rumors of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at Sandringham Estate. There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game. This year, things will be a whole lot different.

Netflix has set a May 28, 2021 premiere date for the third – and final – season of The Kominsky Method. The premiere date announcement was accompanied by the first photos from the final season, including photos of Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. The pair starred in Romancing the Stone, The Jewel of the Nile, and War of the Roses way, way back in the 1980s, and Turner appeared as a guest star on season two of The Kominsky Method.

The new six-episode season arrives without one of its original leads. Alan Arkin chose not to return for season three and his departure will be addressed in the upcoming season.

In addition to Oscar-winner Michael Douglas and Oscar nominee Kathleen Turner, the season three cast includes Sarah Baker and Paul Reiser. Returning guest stars include Lisa Edelstein, Emily Osment, Graham Rogers, and Haley Joel Osment.

Chuck Lorre created the award-winning half-hour comedy and serves as an executive producer with Al Higgins and Michael Douglas.

Netflix released the following synopsis of season three:

“Sandy Kominsky (Douglas) has to navigate what aging looks like without his longtime friend Norman Newlander (Arkin) by his side in the final season of The Kominsky Method. Life only becomes more complicated with the arrival of Sandy’s ex-wife Roz Volander (Turner). The pair’s famously volatile relationship is further inflamed when she comes to LA to spend time with their daughter Mindy (Baker) and her boyfriend Martin (Reiser).

This season of The Kominsky Method deals with money, death, love, murder, and dreams coming true. In other words, the usual.”
