Nobody 2 is now reloaded, cocked and shooting under the direction of Timo Tjahjanto, who is stepping in for the first film’s director, Ilya Naishuller. Bob Odenkirk returns as Hutch Mansell, the mild-manner family man who keeps his past as a government assassin under wraps. Connie Nielsen is also returning as Hutch’s wife, Becca, as well as Christopher Lloyd as Hutch’s father, a retired FBI agent. It was also announced a couple of months ago that Sharon Stone would be playing the main villain of the sequel.

Tjahjanto’s previous credits include May the Devil Take You, The Night Comes for Us, May the Devil Take You Too, The Big 4, and segments of the anthologies The ABCs of Death, V/H/S/2, Portals, and V/H/S/94. With Kimo Stamboel, he also co-directed the films Macabre, Killers, and Headshot. He is now promoting his new release, Netflix’s The Shadow Strays,...

Back in 2021, actor/comedian Bob Odenkirk – who is best known for playing the role of con artist turned lawyer Saul Goodman on the TV series on Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul – made the unexpected move of playing a retired government assassin in the action thriller Nobody. Doing the unexpected worked out, as Nobody was a success, making $57.5 million at the box office on a budget of $16 million. That was enough to get a sequel greenlit – and now that production has started on that sequel, we figured this was a good time to put together a list of Everything We Know About Nobody 2!

Script

Scripted by John Wick writer Derek Kolstad, Nobody saw Odenkirk playing Hutch Mansell, an office worker and family man who proves to be a capable fighter when facing off with a group of drunk criminals on a bus. He’s a bit too capable,...

Lollapalooza 2024 wrapped on a high note Sunday night, with the welcome return of Blink-182, who last headlined the festival in 2017. According to organizers, more than 100,000 fans showed up at each of the four days (during Chappell Roan’s performance, it felt like all 100K from Day One showed up for her set). Vince Staples, Conan Gray, and Teddy Swims were among the standouts on Day Four. (Also, check out highlights from Day Two and Day Three.

How strangely heartwarming...

Five years after it was first released, the legendary MCU film Avengers: Endgame still holds a special place in the hearts of fans. The cinematic event was preceded by the equally compelling Avengers: Infinity War, which saw many of the MCU’s beloved heroes be a victim of Thanos’ fatal Snap.

One of the highlights of the fourth Avengers film was the famous ‘Portal’ scene, which saw all of the heroes return back after the Og Avengers reverse the snap. The goosebumps-inducing scene is still remembered to this day by fans. However, the initial plan of the team behind the film reportedly did not include the legendary scene at all.

Avengers: Endgame Originally Did Not Include The Epic Portals Scene Chris Evans in Avengers: Endgame

After finishing up her current run of international dates, Martinez returns to the states on May 10th, 2024 at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena before hitting major venues across the continent like Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, New York City’s Madison Square Garden, and Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.

Melanie Martinez’s fan-favorite albums Cry Baby and K-12 are back from the dead. On Thursday, the singer announced that she will be embarking on an arena tour, titled the Trilogy Tour, that will celebrate her trio of LPs, including 2023’s Portals.

Martinez announced the tour dates on her Instagram, sharing a tour poster showing her Cry Baby character laying alongside the pink-skinned, four-eyed fairy creature she’s been performing during her tour to promote Portals.

“The cycle of life – from the beginning of crybaby’s story to the end ,” Martinez wrote on Instagram.

It comes as no surprise that Chris Habana, the founder of his namesake label Chrishabana, has built an impressive list of clientele, from Beyoncé to Melanie Martinez to Cardi B, and now Christina Aguilera, or Xtina as the real fans call her. His sci-fi meets beauty and horror approach has been culturally all-consuming way before American Horror Story hit screens and seems more relevant than ever as nostalgia remains prominent in the culture.

In her recent Pride Island performance, Xtina sported the brand in looks that could have come directly...

On the Billboard 200 albums chart for the tracking week that ended April 13, Morgan Wallen‘s “One Thing at a Time” continued its run at number-one, claiming the top spot for the sixth straight week. Read more about this week’s chart here at Billboard.com.

“One Thing at a Time” dropped only three-percent from week to week to achieve 167,000 equivalent album units based on its combined album sales, individual track sales, and online streams.

And track sales accounted for 2,500 units.

In the past few years, the Grammy for Best Alternative Album has been a highly contested award. With recent nominees and winners including critically beloved masterpieces like Fiona Apple’s “Fetch the Bolt Cutters,” Phoebe Bridgers’s “Punisher,” Wet Leg’s self-titled album, and Japanese Breakfast’s “Jubilee,” it’s no wonder that the caliber of the nominees is expected to be pretty high, especially since alternative music tends to enjoy better critical reception than most genres these days. This year the race already seems to be quite competitive, with still a few months left until the September 15 eligibility deadline.

Morgan Wallen‘s “One Thing at a Time” has taken it one week at a time and has now notched five straight weeks in the top spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart. But there were two new albums in the top five this week and one that made a comeback thanks to the release of a new special edition. Read more about this week’s chart here at Billboard.com.

“One Thing at a Time” topped the chart for the tracking week that ended April 6 with 173,000 equivalent album units based on its combined record sales, individual track sales, and online streams. That was down just 12% from week to week, with the vast majority of its units coming from streams of the album’s whopping 36 tracks.

Coming in a close second was Melanie Martinez‘s “Portals.

Melanie Martinez is bringing the third and final iteration of her signature character Cry Baby — this time, a pink-skinned, four-eyed fairy-like creature that lives between life and death — with her on tour. On Monday, the singer announced a 29-date tour across North America in support of her third album, Portals.

Martinez posted a video teasing the tour by posting a video with the environmental sound opening of her track “Nymphology” as the camera focused on a seeming portrait of herself as the pink creature as she announced the tour. The...

Singer, songwriter, and producer Melanie Martinez makes sleek, dark pop with a satiric edge and real emotional bite. Martinez debuted with her fantastic 2015 LP Cry Baby, a concept album about a young girl who gets kidnapped and eventually kills her captor that’s full of sparkling, self-aware tunes like “Pacify Her” and “Dollhouse.” She followed it with 2019’s K-12, as well as a feature film of the same name, building a devoted cult following in the process. Martinez has come a long way from being the hopeful teenager who made...

Alternative pop artist Melanie Martinez is just a few weeks away from releasing her third studio album, and her fans couldn’t be more excited. Martinez has built a successful career in the music industry, but she might not be where she is today without The Voice, where she got her start.

Goodbye, Cry Baby. On Wednesday, Melanie Martinez announced her return after four years with the release of her third studio album, Portals. To accompany the announcement, she shared a video of herself hatching from an egg as a pink, deep sea-styled creature. Portals is set to release on March 31, and it’s Martinez’s first record since leaving behind her “Cry Baby” persona.

“Portals screams death is life is death is life is death is life,” she said in an ominous press statement. “A continuous loop. A circle.”

Though the word “paranormal” generally refers to phenomena not currently explainable by science, when it comes to paranormal television as a genre, it is strictly defined. There are formulas, patterns, even rules, necessitated by network needs for consistency to keep the audience coming back. But within the scope of their YouTube series Travel the Dead, veteran paranormal investigators and television personalities Katrina Weidman and Heather Taddy are asking if there’s a different way.

Weidman and Taddy both emerged on the television scene in 2007 with A&e’s Paranormal State, one of the early successes in the investigative style format, which lasted five seasons. The two became fast friends on the show, and since then, have gone on to appear on numerous series between them. Weidman continued as host of Real Fear: The Truth Behind the Movies, Paranormal Lockdown, and Portals to Hell, where she’s also an executive producer.

Thirty-nine years ago this month, on April Fool’s Day, Kirk Hammett got a call he hoped was no prank: an offer to join Metallica. The guitarist, then age 20, was still playing in Exodus, the thrash-metal band he’d co-founded as a teenager, but he’d fallen in love with Metallica since they first played the Bay Area, where he grew up. So when he realized the opportunity was no joke, he flew to New York, where the band was prepping its debut album, and within two weeks, he was...

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett does some vintage guitar slinging on his new solo song, “High Plains Drifter.”

Borrowing its title from the 1973 Clint Eastwood-starring Western of the same name, “High Plains Drifter” begins with the lonesome pluck of a guitar then expands with horns, strings, piano, and marching drums. Halfway through, Hammett injects a bit of heavy metal into the proceedings, amping up the song’s energy and delivering some characteristically dazzling guitar work.

In a statement, Hammett said he didn’t set-out to write a song that matched High Plains Drifter the movie,...

Metallica is one of the busiest bands in the world and even the pandemic hasn’t stopped them from working feverishly.

Metallica announced a pair of summer stadium shows — their only for 2022 — set to take place this August.

The first of the two gigs will be held Aug. 11 at, Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, New York, while three days later, Aug. 14, Metallica will headline Pnc Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Metallica last played Highmark and Pnc Park 30 years ago, hitting the two venues back-to-back on July 25 and 26, 1992). Both gigs will feature support from Greta Van Fleet and Ice Nine Kills.

Tickets for the two gigs will go on sale March 4 at 10 a.m.

Thirty-nine years after joining Metallica, guitarist Kirk Hammett will put out his first solo release, Portals, on April 23. The all-instrumental, four-song EP will be available digitally and on CD and “ocean blue” vinyl for Record Store Day.

“This music was created with what I describe as an ‘audio-cinematic’ approach,” Hammett said in a statement. “They’re soundtracks to the movies in your mind.”

Hammett produced the EP himself, recording in Los Angeles, Paris, and Oahu. Hammett drew inspiration for the songs from horror movies, classical music, and the work of Ennio Morricone,...

Blackwood, the latest chapter in The Elder Scrolls Online’s ongoing “Gates of Oblivion” event, is poised to be a particularly special experience for fans of the all-time classic Bethesda fantasy RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. While the chapter is set 800 years prior to the events of Oblivion, Blackwood’s versions of the sprawling cities of Leyawiin and Gideon, as well as the devilish Deadlands, will undoubtedly feel familiar to veterans of the 2006 classic. But as we learned during a hands-on demo period in April, the expansion also features new areas and characters that bring these iconic locations to life in new ways.

Like with the game’s Skyrim-based Greymoor chapter, nostalgia permeates every aspect of Blackwood, including the setup of its story. Mehrunes Dagon, Oblivion‘s diabolical antagonist, takes center stage once again as the chapter’s main villain, but things aren’t as they seem.

Screen Media Films has debuted an official trailer for an indie sci-fi thriller titled Portals, an anthology film featuring a number of segments (three in total + a wrap-around story) all connected to cosmic events happening all over the world. After a series of blackouts, mysterious cosmic anomalies appear everywhere across. The few who are drawn to them, curious about what's inside, don't return.

The distributor closed terms during the Cannes Film Festival amid a competitive bidding situation between seven other suitors. Screen Media plans to release the pic this fall.

“Crown Vic” premiered in April at the Tribeca Film Festival. The supporting cast includes David Krumholtz, Josh Hopkins, Bridget Moynahan, Scottie Thompson and Gregg Bello. “Crown Vic” follows one explosive night in the life of a seasoned Lapd veteran, portrayed by Jane, as he takes a young cop (Kleintank) out on patrol and shows him the brutal reality of life behind the wheel of a Crown Vic.

The producers are Alec Baldwin and his El Dorado Pictures, Anjul Nigam under his Brittany House Pictures, and Bello. Maxx Tsai also produced under his China-based Wudi Pictures.

Screen Media has acquired North American rights to Charlie Lightening and Gavin Fitzgerald’s feature documentary “Liam Gallagher: As It Was.” The film follows the former Oasis frontman as he finds himself on the periphery of the rock ‘n’ roll world after years spent at the white hot center of the music world. Screen Media will release the film in the fall and will time it with the debut Gallagher’s upcoming second solo album.
