It’s common for people to mistake celebrities for look-alikes – for instance, Jesse Plemons is often compared to Matt Damon. But actress Emma Stone recently shared a particularly surprising case of mistaken identity. On the ‘Happy.Sad.Confused’ podcast, she revealed that people consistently mistake her for Emma Watson.
Yorgos Lanthimos, the director of films like Poor Things and The Favourite, brings us a darkly funny and suspenseful new thriller now playing in theaters. The story centers on Teddy Gatz (Jesse Plemons), an amateur beekeeper who believes his bee colonies are dying due to chemicals produced by a powerful company called Auxolith, led by CEO Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone). Teddy also works at Auxolith, and he has a personal reason to distrust the company: years ago, his mother (Alicia Silverstone) was part of an experimental drug trial there that left her in a coma. This experience led Teddy to become obsessed with online conspiracy theories, ultimately convincing him that Michelle Fuller is actually an alien from the Andromeda galaxy with a sinister plan to destroy humanity – starting with the bees.
Actor Stephen Powell is currently promoting his new film, The Running Man, based on the Stephen King story. In the movie, he plays a contestant on a deadly reality TV show where he has to fight for his life while being watched by a massive television audience. During an interview with Collider, he was asked if he’d be interested in joining a superhero movie franchise, and his response was unexpected.
Movies are a form of art, and all art aims to provoke a reaction. Sometimes, a film sparks such a strong and widespread response that it becomes controversial. This can be good or bad, depending on what the filmmakers intended, but it almost guarantees the movie will be remembered – even if it’s not remembered as a great film.
The movie could have been fun if it realized how over-the-top it was, but the writer and director, Foster, doesn’t seem to understand the humor. His main character, Tony, is an unbelievably muscular mechanic with an incredibly strong sense of morals – so strong, in fact, that he was kicked out of the army for refusing to shoot someone. There’s a particularly ridiculous flashback scene of young Tony playing with a friend who finds a gun, claims it’s empty, and accidentally shoots himself. Despite the seriousness of that moment, the director’s awkward camera work makes the scene unintentionally comical.
The actor has appeared in several films, including All About the Benjamins (2002), 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), Ghost Rider (2007), We Own the Night (2007), and Stuck on You (2003).
The early version of “Blow Your Speakers Out” was more of a rumor than a finished song, existing as a kind of legend for fans. It became a symbol of everything the band left unfinished when they stopped making music. Releasing it now, after all these years, is a deliberate choice. It’s not about looking back; it’s about bringing that energy back to life.
