"We don't know what we're going to wake up to, like, what the world is going to be like..." An early teaser trailer has debuted for an indie horror film titled I See the Demon, from filmmaker Jacob Lees Johnson. This is premiering at the 2025 Cinequest Film Festival in March if anyone wants to catch it - grab tickets. It's described as a "mublegore sci-fi thriller" - I dig that the title seems like misdirection. There is a strange comet up in the sky? And other weird things going on? Is it a demon or aliens or something else entirely? At her surprise birthday party, an emotionally vulnerable woman experiences unexplainable phenomena that threaten to turn the best night of her life into a never-ending nightmare. Lucy sees a strange object in the sky, but everyone keeps telling her everything is fine. This stars Alexis Zollicoffer, Jon Heder, Mallory Everton,...

With those dates right around the corner, a trailer for the film has made its way online and can be seen in the embed above.

Directed by Jacob Lees Johnson, who also crafted the screenplay with Davey Morrison and Martha Duzett, I See the Demon has the following synopsis: After seeing a strange object floating in the sky, Lucy comes home to a surprise birthday party with all of her favorite people. She’s overjoyed, but when asked about her day, she realizes she can’t remember anything about it. Her loved ones assure her it’s nothing to worry about, but as more unsettling things occur...

Euphoriafans have waited a long time for the hit drama to return. Unfortunately, the cast will be missing several beloved performers when the show finally does resurface for Season 3. The death of Angus Cloud in 2023 was a tragic blow for the must-see series, but Barbie Ferreira and Storm Reid's departures have also been tough pills to swallow, and all three actors will be sorely missed. In fact, Reid said that not returning as Zendaya’s on-screen sister, Gia Bennett, is "bittersweet" in an interview with Variety:

"That’s my sister before 'Euphoria' and after. That’s gonna be my sister for life, so I’m sure we’ll work together again one day in some capacity. [It’s] bittersweet. I love Gia. I loved being able to embody her and give her life. I’m really excited for Season 3. I know they’re going to do something special, and...

Her loved ones assure her it’s nothing to worry about, but as more unsettling things occur that only she seems to notice,...

Through a haze of tater tots and ill-tempered llamas, it can be easy to forget that “Napoleon Dynamite” is also about time travel. There’s a literal time machine in the movie, yes, but it’s also an ode to retro-nostalgia and small-town teen angst.

Jared Hess’ 2004 cult classic about a pack of misfits growing up in Preston, Idaho, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to mixed results. The low-stakes story was hugely meme-able but still confusing to critics in the mostly pre-internet age. Now, it’s a persistent triumph of the American indie scene and a live show amid an ongoing tour.

“We had no idea anybody would see this film,” said Jon Heder (aka Napoleon himself). “It’s become the ultimate case study. You can go from writing a story to casting the right people to making an endearing and enduring film. It’s absolutely doable.”

“But let’s face it,...

Billy Zane has found his next motion picture. The actor, who recently portrayed acting legend Marlon Brando, has signed on for Esx Entertainment's Day of Reckoning.

According to Deadline, Zane is set to star in the upcoming Western with The Vampire Diaries alum Zach Roerig and Killers of the Flower Moon actor Cara Jade Myers. TackleBox Films' Shaun Silva is directing Day of Reckoning, which follows "put-upon lawman John Dorsey (Roerig), who on the verge of losing his wife and his job as sheriff, posses up with a bullish U.S. Marshall Butch Hayden (Zane) to hold outlaw Emily Rouse (Myers) hostage. A battle of wills ensues as Emily turns the posse on themselves, but as her marauding husband and his gang approach, Emily and John realize they will need each other to survive."

Former NFL standouts Vernon Davis and Omar Bolden are tackling a new path.

The pair, who were both members of the Denver Broncos when the team won Super Bowl 50 in 2016, are set to star in the comedy series Match Point. Created by Sports Emmy-nominated director Joslyn Rose Lyons, the mockumentary project launches its first two episodes on-demand via Apple TV and Prime Video on Feb. 11, 2025. The rest of the 10-episode first season will roll out after that.

Match Point centers on Max (Davis) and Anthony (Bolden), two former tennis stars who co-host a new podcast together. The series follows their behind-the-scenes efforts to launch the podcast alongside a high-strung producer (Ashley Haas) and a ratings-obsessed talent booker (Rob Gordon), all while dealing with pushy executives and a dysfunctional crew.

Davis, Lyons, Johanna Saldaña and Dominique Mouton serve as executive producers. A trailer for Match Point, which is distributed through Filmhub,...

Brandon Tamburri’s Plan B delves into the turbulent life of Piper Brennan (Jamie Lee), who becomes unexpectedly pregnant after a drunken one-night affair with her socially awkward neighbour, Evan (Jon Heder).

This scenario exemplifies a modern dilemma: balancing personal goals with societal expectations. Piper’s predicament is more than merely humorous; it reflects contemporary fears about love and duty.

Her decision-making process reflects deep internal turmoil. She oscillates between the attraction of a carefree life and the sombre reality of imminent motherhood. Piper’s cynical answer, seeking a wealthy spouse to claim her pregnant kid as his, reflects the extent to which people will go to fit societal moulds—a subject that has been repeated throughout history.

Piper’s plan puts her into contact with Cameron (Michael Lombardi), an attractive investment banker, and the film deftly alternates between moments of humour and self-reflection. Their flirtation raises issues about the...

The first trailer for the indie comedy film Waltzing With Brando, starring Billy Zane as the legendary actor Marlon Brando, has debuted.

Movie star Marlon Brando recruits a Los Angeles architect to build the world’s first ecologically perfect retreat on a small, uninhabited island in Tahiti.

Directed by Bill Fishman, the cast includes Billy Zane, Jon Heder, Richard Dreyfuss, Tia Carrere.

Also in trailers – “Who could we trust?” Tilda Swinton stars in trailer for ‘The End’

The post Billy Zane does Brando – First trailer drops for ‘Waltzing with Brando’ appeared first on HeyUGuys.

If you’re looking for a distraction from the hellscape of American politics, look no further than the first trailer for a forthcoming biopic of one of our most legendary actors. Featuring Billy Zane in quite a transformative performance, Waltzing with Brando follows the star during his late-60s/early-70s period pre-The Godfather, when he recruits a Los Angeles architect to build the world’s first ecologically perfect retreat on a small, uninhabited island in Tahiti.

Directed by Bill Fishman and also starring Jon Heder, Richard Dreyfuss, and Tia Carrere, the film is set for a world premiere as the closing film of Torino Film Festival this month and is still seeking U.S. distribution.

“He may be the biggest star in the world — or so they said — or the most famous man…. but he was on the s— list and he was on the outs, and maybe [his] retreat was licking his wounds,...

The first trailer for Waltzing With Brando, the new biopic about the iconic Godfather actor has dropped and we are, frankly, blown away by Billy Zane's take on Marlon Brando. The Titanic actor has so completely transformed in the role, it took us more than a few minutes to clock that it even was Billy Zane in the film.

The film, which also stars Napoleon Dynamite star John Heder, the Bill Fishman-directed feature has officially been picked up by Vmi Worldwide for foreign sales, according to exclusive reporting from Variety.

What Is The New Marlon Brando Movie About?

Waltzing With Brando is based on the memoir by Los Angeles-based architect Bernard Judge. In his 2011 book, Waltzing with Brando: Planning a Paradise in Tahiti, Judge recounts his time planning and building a series of rustic bungalows for the iconic actor on a remote Tahitian atoll called Tetiaroa a tiny,...

Yes, that’s Billy Zane beneath those prosthetics.

The “Titanic” alum is unrecognizable as late star Marlon Brando in the first trailer for biopic “Waltzing for Brando.” The feature, written and directed by Bill Fishman, is based on a memoir by Bernard Judge.

The film takes place between 1969 and 1974, with Brando readying to shoot “The Godfather” and “Last Tango in Paris.” During that time, the actor purchased an uninhabitable island in Tahiti and recruited Los Angeles architect Judge, portrayed by Jon Heder, to build the world’s first ecologically friendly retreat.

Richard Dreyfuss, “Emily in Paris” star Camille Razat, Alaina Huffman, Tia Carrere, and James Jagger co-star in the film, which is now seeking a buyer.

The film will close the Torino Film Festival and play the Tahoe Film Festival. Prior to its world premiere, “Waltzing for Brando” was picked up by Vmi Worldwide for foreign sales.

Billed as a comedy,...

Marlon Brando transformed into all different kinds of people on the big screen. He was a dockworker in On the Waterfront, Shakespeare’s Mark Antony in Julius Caesar, and a temperamental and abusive drunk in A Streetcar Named Desire. But it was while he was preparing to become the mafia boss Vito Corleone in The Godfather that he decided to try a new role based in the real world: the founder of an ecological island resort in Tahiti. Playing pretend for so long gave him an edge of boundless confidence...

We’ve already had our fair share of biopics this year. Bob Dylan, Donald Trump, Amy Winehouse, Bob Marley, and the list goes on. No wonder some people were skeptical about the response Bill Fishman’s next directorial venture would generate, with some fearing that the fans had had enough. What they had forgotten was that it was Marlon Brando’s story.

Starring Billy Zane in the titular role, the first trailer of the biopic has just been released. And fans have already indicated that they are all in for seeing the story unfold before their eyes.

The first trailer for Waltzing with Brando, a new film tracking Marlon Brando’s early ’70s plan to create a vacation resort in Tahiti, has been revealed.

Waltzing with Brando stars Billy Zane as Brando and Jon Heder as Bernard Judge, the architect and environmental planner tasked with building the resort. It takes place mainly from 1969 to 1974, during which Brando starred in legendary films like The Godfather and The Last Tango in Paris.

Brando filmed Mutiny on the Bounty in Tahiti in the early 1960s and fell in love with the region, leading him to purchase a small island there. He was deeply committed to sustainability and aimed to infuse this ethos into his new island retreat. The trailer shows Brando bringing the task to Judge, who commends Brando’s ambitions but worries about its practicality. Against turbulent weather, funding issues, and even a lack of running water, Judge and...

Billy Zane transforms into Marlon Brando in the first trailer for Waltzing with Brando. Vmi Worldwide has released the first trailer for the upcoming biopic ahead of its debut at several film festivals, including the Torino Film Festival, the Tahoe Film Festival and the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

Waltzing with Brando follows Marlon Brando as he recruits a Los Angeles architect to build the world's first ecologically perfect retreat on a small, uninhabited island in Tahiti.

"To live out there [on the remote island] with even a moderate amount of modern convenience would be a monumental undertaking." Vmi International has revealed the first official trailer for an indie comedy film called Waltzing with Brando, a sort of biopic about iconic American actor Marlon Brando. There's no release date or any other info yet - this is expected to arrive sometime in 2025 next year. Movie star Marlon Brando recruits a Los Angeles architect to build the world's first ecologically perfect retreat on his own small, uninhabited island in Tahiti. Billy Zane stars as Brando in this wacky look at his life. Based on the book written by the architect who actually did all of this for Brando. The book tells stories about Brando and is also about Tetiaroa, "Brando's private atoll, [wondering] about living in nature without despoiling the environment. Questions are asked. Should a hotel be built? What are the consequences?...

Billy Zane has displayed an uncanny resemblance to Marlon Brando, going all the way back to Dead Calm, where he looked like him in his On the Waterfront days. Zane is now able to capitalize on doppleganging the star of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now in Waltzing with Brando. Zane was first cast as Marlon Brando all the way back in 2019 – and things have been pretty much silent for the bulk of the five years that followed. The movie hit the Cannes market and now, Vmi Worldwide has released the first trailer.

Billy Zane’s Marlon Brando is from a pivotal era in the legendary actor’s career, with Waltzing with Brando taking place in the late ‘60s into the early ‘70s, when his work shifted dramatically and he reinvented himself. Appropriately, Zane has entirely reinvented his look to portray Brando. Photos made available courtesy of Deadline fresh out of...

The first trailer has been revealed showing Billy Zane as Marlon Brando at the peak of his powers in upcoming biopic “Waltzing With Brando.”

The feature, which also stars Jon Heder, has been picked up by Vmi Worldwide for foreign sales.

Written and directed by Bill Fishman, the film is based on a memoir by Bernard Judge which takes place between 1969 and 1974 while Brando was preparing to film “The Godfather” and “Last Tango in Paris.” Alongside Zane and Heder, additional castmembers include the Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss, as well as Camille Razat (“Emily in Paris”), Alaina Huffman, Tia Carrera (“Waynes World”) and Mick Jagger’s son James Jagger.

“Waltzing With Brando” follows Brando (Zane) — then the most famous actor in the world — as he filmed “Mutiny on the Bounty” and bought a tiny and uninhabitable island in Tahiti. His intent was to escape his hectic Hollywood lifestyle and show the world the path to sustainability.

Recently on social media fans were stunned by the resemblance of Billy Zane to Marlon Brando in a still from the new film Waltzing With Brando, which is slated to premiere in 2025. Zane, made up to look like the legendary star in his Godfather role, looks in the photo like...

John Oliver stopped by “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Monday, with the “Last Week Tonight” host addressing the viral video in which he urged his viewers to vote for Kamala Harris.

Oliver made headlines with his plea to voters, appearing to fight back tears as he told those watching “Look, I love this country. I’m an immigrant. I chose to be here” and that he would be voting for Vice President Harris.

But Oliver told Colbert that he was flabbergasted by how much coverage the clip received. “I wasn’t crying. I’m British. I’m dead inside,” Oliver said.

Oliver later admitted that he “generally” only cries while watching movies on airplanes. The last movie to bring him to tears in the friendly skies? The Will Ferrell-Jon Heder figure skating comedy “Blades of Glory.”

Oliver and Colbert then discussed plans for election day, with...

Marlon Brando is an icon of cinema. Whether you like him or not, he is undoubtedly one of the greatest and most talented actors we’ve ever seen. He had the pathos; he had the ability to take on the most complex of roles, and that earned him the status of a proper icon.

Well, that and his amazing roles, which include films such as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, On the Waterfront, Last Tango in Paris, and many more.

But Brando’s private life was as dynamic as his career. The actor was known as a problematic person with a difficult personality, which made it hard to work with him on more than one occasion. All of this got even more difficult as Brando got older, and by the time he reached old age, more people wanted to avoid him than work with him.

And while Brando’s life deserves a whole series,...

Did Billy Zane Use Prosthetics in Waltzing with Brando? Resemblance to Screen Legend is Uncanny - Main Image

Billy Zane is starring and producing the upcoming film Waltzing with Brando where he will play legendary Hollywood icon Marlon Brando.

You might be wondering how the actor's portrayal of the legend will play out and whether he does look like him in the film. Fortunately, based on the results, the resemblance is uncanny. Let's explore below.

What is Waltzing with Brando About?

Waltzing with Fishman is directed by Bill Fishman. It is based on the book Waltzing with Brando: Planning a Paradise in Tahiti by Bernard Judge.

The film, which primarily takes place between 1969 and 1974, focuses on Brando's preparations for his memorable performances in The Godfather and Last Tango in Paris.

Aside from Zane, it also stars Jon Heder, Tia Carrere, Richard Dreyfuss, Alaina Huffman, and Rob Corddry.

Fall is upon us, and that brings the changing of the leaves, apple cider, and of course, scary movies. Seeing scary movies when you’re a little kid is the best. Really wanting to see what all the bigger kids are seeing but also being scared of what you just saw. It’s a magical time to be alive… and now is a great time to run down the best kid’s films for Halloween. These are guaranteed to frighten your little ones but not leave you unable to sleep after they crawl into your bed at night.

H​onorable Mention: The Monster Squad (1987)

W​hile this film was a mainstay of my childhood, if you look at it today, some of the language hasn’t aged very well. I still love this film, as I can look past its flaws and remember the absolute glee I would get watching it over and over again.

Though popular animated flicks like The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride are constantly in rotation for viewers, another fantastic yet criminally underrated movie deserves far more love: the 2006 horror comedy Monster House.

Featuring a star-studded voice cast including Steve Buscemi, Catherine O'Hara, Kathleen Turner, and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Monster House focuses on three precocious 12-year-olds as they come to the horrific realization that the terrifying house across the street is actually possessed and wants to wreak havoc on innocent trick-or-treaters on Halloween night. Together, the trio join forces to...

Movies based on hit video games have been notoriously difficult to get right, but Hit-Monkey creators Will Speck and Josh Gordon have their sights set on adapting The Oregon Trail. Originally created in 1971, the adventure game was initially developed as an educational tool to teach middle school students about 19th-century pioneer life. Renowned for its frequently dark and often amusing outcomes, it would become synonymous with having its players repeatedly die of dysentery. Over the years, the game has seen countless remakes and spinoffs created, with a PlayStation 5 edition released as recently as February 2024.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Speck and Gordon have been tapped by Apple Studios to direct and produce a movie adaptation of The Oregon Trail based on a script penned by screenwriters and comedians The Lucas Bros. (Judas and the Black Messiah) and Max Reisman. The movie adaptation is also reported to feature original musical numbers in the vein of 2023s Barbie,...

It takes a lot of range to go from playing the quietly awkward Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite to getting ripped and donning drag to join Jason Statham in the loud, in-your-face film, Crank (more on that below). That's Efren Ramirez for you, an underrated and dynamic actor who swings wildly from genre to genre. MovieWeb spoke with him about the new film Seven Cemeteries, which also runs the gamut in terms of genre and style. It's a comedic Western horror film that sees him as a snarky undead companion to the one and only Danny Trejo, who plays Bruno, a hardcore but quirky antihero seeking a ragtag team to help him protect a woman's prized ranch from villainous drug lords. Again, it's a far cry from his iconic role in Napoleon Dynamite, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Exclusive: Comedian Terence Hartnett’s battle with stage III cancer is the central theme of Cancer Free, a feature documentary from Joke Zero that has just wrapped production across Europe and North America.

The film follows Hartnett who had set out to produce a national park documentary with his best friend, and the film’s director, Mike Dlugosz, when he began battling a rare form of testicular cancer in 2021. The film’s synopsis reads: During their adventure, the camera rolls on their private conversations – both in hospitals and nine national parks – capturing the spread of cancer, musings of mortality, conflict, and devastation.

The film was shot at nine national parks: Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Acadia, Canyonlands, Arches, Joshua Tree, Death Valley, Cairngorms (Scotland), and Hohe Tauern (Austria) alongside comedy clubs and hospitals in Edinburgh, Los Angeles, Syracuse, New York City, Indianapolis, and Denver. The film was produced by the comedy-focused production...

The best Jon Heder movies and TV shows highlight why the Napoleon Dynamite and Blades of Glory actor has become known for his quirky, inimitable style. Born in Colorado in 1977, Jon Heder has become known over the years thanks to his unique style of performance that makes him instantly recognizable in almost any role. While he's best known for 2004's Napoleon Dynamite, this is far from his only appearance, and the actor has been a highlight of the cast lists of multiple movies and TV shows since his career began in 2000.

Heder's career has several intriguing facets. For example, he only starred in a handful of short movies prior to appearing in Napoleon Dynamite in 2004, giving his career something of an explosive start rather than it being a slow-burn rise to prominence. He's also been nominated for dozens of Teen Choice Awards specifically, making him an on-screen presence that particularly...

Napoleon Dynamite might be getting a sequel. Efren Ramirez, who played Pedro Snchez in the 2004 indie coming-of-age film, says the entire cast is willing to reprise their roles.

"Everyone wants a sequel. And I can say this, legally, that the door's not closed yet. There's more to tell with these characters," Ramirez told ComicBook. "When you have a really good story, whether you make a prequel or a sequel, you can really explore the depths of these characters of where they would be, or where they came from, or what led them to be where they're at."

Napoleon Dynamite is a 2004 indie comedy that became a pop culture phenomenon with its odd humor and relatable characters. The film's nostalgic 1980s and 1990s vibes, combined with its portrayal of small-town life, made it universally appealing. Despite a low budget, Napoleon Dynamite earned over $40 million at the box office and spawned merchandise, an animated series, and a comic book.

One of the strangest movie success stories in the past few decades is the iconic 2004 movie, Napoleon Dynamite. A screwball comedy based on a strange teenager and his equally weird friends and family, the indie movie came out of nowhere and became a pop culture phenomenon. Putting star Jon Heder on the map, it's largely considered to be one of the best comedy movies of all time.

Now, Napoleon Dynamite is 20 years old, and it's still a classic in the eyes of many. This is mainly due to its odd...

Napoleon Dynamite is endeared to an entire generation of audiences who came of age in the early 2000s. Jon Heder wants fans to know Napoleon is now even more awesome by showing off his new "upgrades."

Jared Hess' Napoleon Dynamite was a surprise hit at the global box office, earning almost $45 million within a year of release. The 2004 film remains a cult favorite because of its eclectic ensemble of characters, especially its titular character Napoleon (played by Jon Heder).
