It took more than two decades, but we finally got another fix of hilarious chaos from one of the 2000s best sitcoms. On April 10, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair debuted to an excited global audience and did not disappoint, as the show returned huge streaming numbers and even broke a 2026 record. The revival quickly became Disney+ and Hulu’s most-viewed season premiere of 2026 thus far, and hit 8.1 million views globally in its first three days of streaming. The series has also become Latin America’s second-biggest Disney+ season premiere ever, behind the first-placed Loki Season 1.

Not only is the chaos back, but so are most of the show’s best-loved faces, including Frankie Muniz and Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston as Malcolm and Hal, respectively, Jane Kaczmarek as Lois, Chris Kennedy Masterson as Francis, Justin Berfield as Reese, and Emy Coligado as Piama. Sadly, Erik Per Sullivan chose not to reprise his role as Dewey, with the capable Caleb Ellsworth-Clark taking over the role. A synopsis for the revival reads, “After shielding himself and his daughter from his family for over a decade, Malcolm is dragged back into their orbit when Hal and Lois demand his presence at their 40th anniversary party.”

Earning high praise from most, including a strong 80% score from critics on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, there has been little to complain about from Malcolm in the Middle‘s return. However, the one sticking point for most has been the short episode count, with only four episodes released. Will we see more of this revival? Before any confirmation is given from higher-ups, series creator Linwood Boomer and star Muniz have weighed in on the possibility, with Boomer saying in a new interview:

“I’m an old man. I’m very tired, but it was such a great experience, and I think creatively, it really worked. So, you never know. I don’t think it would have happened the way it happened if the idea was to do an entire series again.”

Frankie Muniz Would Love to Play Malcolm Again

Far from bored with being stuck in the Middle, Muniz admitted just how much he would love to continue this revived series, saying in the same interview, “I’ll say this: I would love to be Malcolm again.” However, fans shouldn’t necessarily get their hopes up, with Muniz continuing, “the intention of this was just these four episodes. I don’t think it was made with the intention of being a test or that more could come from it, but you never know what will happen. If people love it, maybe.”

Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair is streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. Stay tuned to Collider for more.

Fans are already on board with the casting choice for Martha Stewart’s upcoming biopic, as reports confirm that Cate Blanchett will portray the lifestyle mogul.

While details about the rest of the cast remain under wraps, the project has been quietly gaining traction, especially after Stewart herself previously hinted at Blanchett’s involvement. She also revealed that the film is currently operating under the working title “Good Thing.”

Stewart was also the subject of a Netflix documentary in 2024, though she later admitted it left her with mixed feelings about the way her story was depicted.

Martha Stewart’s Biopic Will Feature Cate Blanchett In Lead Role

The story of Stewart is heading back to the big screen. This time, the TV star’s life will be revisited in a scripted biopic, with reports confirming that Blanchett will take on the role of the homemaking icon. The actress will bring her Oscar-winning pedigree to the project, having previously taken home two Academy Awards for “The Aviator” and Martin Scorsese’s “Blue Jasmine.”

While Blanchett has yet to comment publicly on the role, Stewart herself had already hinted at the casting before it became official.

During a red-carpet appearance, she revealed she had been hearing buzz about a biopic in development with Blanchett attached to star. Speaking to Variety at the time, Stewart also shared that the project is operating under the working title “Good Thing,” a nod to her signature phrase, “It’s a good thing.”

Fans Praise Blanchett’s Casting As Martha Stewart

Social media lit up following news that Blanchett is set to portray Stewart, with many fans already convinced the casting is a perfect match.

“Propaganda I’m standing for. For sure, my favourite actress and she’ll kill this,” one fan commented on X.

“This casting feels way too perfect to ignore,” another user added. “Oscar-level performance incoming?”

One more individual summed up the mixed excitement and curiosity surrounding the casting, writing, “Cate Blanchett as Martha Stewart? This is either going to be genius or absolutely iconic chaos.”

The Biopic Has No Release Date Yet

For now, the upcoming biopic centered on Martha Stewart remains without a confirmed release date, and additional casting details are still under wraps.

What is known, however, is that South African screenwriter Ricky Tollman is attached to pen the script. Meanwhile, Blanchett will not only star in the film but also serve as a producer alongside Coco Francini, Randy Manis, and Neil Dodson.

The project will be directed by Janicza Bravo, who previously co-wrote and helmed the 2020 film “Zola.”

Stewart Has Been Portrayed On Screen Before

While anticipation builds for the upcoming biopic, Stewart is no stranger to having her life adapted for the screen.

In the early 2000s, the lifestyle mogul was portrayed by Cybill Shepherd in the television films “Martha, Inc.: The Story of Martha Stewart” and “Martha Behind Bars.” The former traced her rise to the top of the homemaking industry, while the latter focused on her time in prison after a fraud conviction.

More recently, a documentary about Stewart was released by Netflix in 2024.

“I love the first half of the documentary,” she said in an interview with the New York Times at the time. However, she took issue with the film’s heavier focus on her 2003 insider trading case and subsequent five-month prison sentence, arguing that it represented only a small chapter of her life.

Martha Stewart Revealed Why She Chose R.J. Cutler For Netflix Biopic

Stewart was closely involved in shaping her 2024 Netflix documentary, including handpicking R.J. Cutler to direct. Speaking to Variety, she explained why she ultimately chose him over other candidates, including female directors she had considered.

“I had interviewed two women who were very accomplished documentarians, and I just wanted to work with a man,” she said. “So, it was kind of fun to not work with yet another woman.”

At the time, Stewart also offered insight into her upcoming autobiography, which she first announced in 2024.

“Whatever R.J. didn’t discover going through my archives, I will be able to use in the autobiography,” she explained. “It will not be 936 pages like [Barbra Streisand’s 2023 memoir], but it is chronological, and it is very interesting.”

Fresh off the news of Jamie Dornan entering The Lord of the Rings franchise with the newly announced The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, it’s time to watch one of the best performances from the upcoming film’s key players. Enter Dornan’s BBC-produced series, The Tourist, a 97% Rotten Tomatoes gem that turns the usual amnesia trope into something tense, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

This tense and shocking thriller follows Dornan as Elliot, an Irishman who wakes up in Australia with no memory of who he is or why he is in the country after being run off the road by a massive truck. As he searches for the truth of his identity, he is hunted down by mysterious villains and is unaware of who his friends are and who is trying to sell him out. Keeping the audience on their toes, The Tourist constantly subverts our expectations. By flipping the typical perspective of an amnesia episode and seeing it through the eyes of the person who has lost their memory, the anxiety is heightened throughout, and the core theme of how to love and allow yourself to be loved is a touching idea that goes beyond shallow aesthetics.

The Tourist also gives us fabulous villains who, although evil, are so entertaining to watch that any frustrations one has with the slow-burning mystery will be thoroughly satisfied in the meantime.

‘The Tourist’ Explores Genuine Connection and Body Positivity

We all know what image pops into our heads when told to think of an action star’s love interest. A slim, sexy woman who is a femme fatale, like Eva Green in Casino Royale, Michelle Rodriguez in the Fast & Furious franchise, and Anne Hathaway‘s Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. But The Tourist throws most of this genre expectation into the bin and is all the better for it.

To be clear, this is in no way a knock on the aforementioned women or their beauty, but an appreciation of seeing something different in The Tourist, that also aligns with everyday relatability. While Elliot meets a woman from his past named Luci (Shalom Brune-Franklin), who fits the former archetype (and previously had a relationship with), the real romance of the series is between Elliot and Helen (Danielle MacDonald). Helen is a police officer in the small town Elliot finds himself in, and is the only person outside the hit men who is interested in helping Elliot.

We are introduced to her at a meeting for people trying to lose weight, and throughout the first episode and season, we see her struggle with her self-image. Helen’s fiancé, Ethan (Greg Larsen), constantly puts her down for being curvy, even though she is a beautiful and kind person, and this is what Elliot recognizes in her.

From laughing over Mexican food to connecting over their shared feelings of not having a clear purpose, we see a relationship blooming between the two that is far more relatable and sweet to watch than the typical snarky back-and-forths between James Bond and his love interest. In doing so, we are given an emotional attachment to the show that raises the stakes as we want to see these two continue this journey together.

‘The Tourist’ Gives Away Very Little in Terms of Elliot’s True Identity

As stated in the beginning, The Tourist subverts expectations by showing us the perspective of someone suffering from amnesia, rather than how those around them react to the loss of someone they used to know. The only scene of pre-amnesia Elliot we get in the pilot shows him as a cocky and funny guy who is clearly on some kind of mission, and that’s the only information we are given until much later in the series. Therefore, rather than a dramatic irony where the audience knows more than Elliot, we are on the same page throughout and learning with the protagonist, which makes us feel more emotionally attached to his journey.

It also delivers shocking reveals about Elliot’s past, which this article won’t spoil, but it does make you question whether this character is someone you still want to root for, or if the amnesia has allowed him to start his life again. Therefore, Elliot’s character arc is intensely complex and plays with how you perceive one’s identity. Are we who we are in the moment, or does our history define us?

‘The Tourist’ Offers Wonderfully Over-the-Top Villains Who Are Entertaining and Terrifying

Image via BBC

While a slow-burning series is not for everyone, The Tourist manages to keep its momentum high by making its antagonists colorful characters with many personal traits that keep them fascinating. For example, the hitman chasing Elliot, named Billy Nixon (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), feels like he has been ripped out of an old gunslinger film. He has a deep Southern accent, and his brutal nature portrays him as someone who has no concept of what a law is. In doing so, Billy comes across as more of a Terminator than a man, with one scene where Elliot and Helen take him on showing how his size allows him to take multiple hits and keep moving forward, with even being thrown down a well not being enough to stop him. Behind him are larger antagonists such as Kostas (Alex Dimitriades), a drug lord who is constantly taking LSD and in the mood to shoot someone, who expands the world beyond the small town in Australia.

With two seasons of The Tourist capping off with the biggest twist of all, which you’ll have to watch to find out, there is a large scope for where a potential third season could go. Currently, while Dornan told Entertainment Weekly in 2024 that he was “very busy,” it does feel like a third season is likely, with “conversations” being had, according to the lead actor. In which case, you will want to be caught up for if and when the next chapter is announced. However, with touching themes, a unique narrative structure, and intimidating antagonists, The Tourist is a series you’ll want to binge merely for the love of great drama.

The Tourist is available to stream on Netflix in the U.S.

General Hospital early weekly spoilers for April 20th through the 24th shock as Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) stuns Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and danger is lurking.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we talk about what is happening next week.

General Hospital Spoilers Wednesday, April 15th: Curtis Supports Jordan

On Wednesday, April 15th, we have Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) there supporting Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper). She is reeling with guilt over her distracted driving. Now, both of them are bothered that the other driver didn’t stop. But that doesn’t mean the other driver actually knew that they crashed. They were really, really to blame. They should be feeling bad about being road hazards, acting like teenagers.

Plus, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) tells Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) they might have a suspect. But is it in Jordan’s accident? Is it in Ross Cullum’s (Andrew Hawkes) shooting or is it in Marco Rios‘ (Adrian Anchondo) stabbing? Because there is a lot of cases on his plate right now. And Dante has a tip that he gives to Laura Spencer (Genie Francis). And I wonder if this is to do with the suspect that he’s telling Justine about.

GH Spoilers: Sidwell Threatens & Tracy Horrified

Plus, Ava Jerome (Maura West) tells Laura that Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is going to get what he wants. So, I’m very curious what exactly the topic of the conversation is. And Sidwell is impressed by Ava, but not so much by one of his pet politicians because he is making threats.

On Wednesday, Sidwell tells Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) that if he cannot do that, he is of very little use to him. And when people are not of use to Sidwell, he puts a bullet in them like he did to Hank Dalton (Daniel Goddard).

So, Sidwell may be pushing Ezra to also use some of his city council influence to push the Marco investigation towards Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Meanwhile, Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) is in crisis mode.

So, it looks like Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) is going to tell Granny Tracy that she may have caused Jordan’s accident. Tracy tells Brook Lynn she can never ever breathe a word of this to anybody.

We also have Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) poking around and I think this ties back to the who shot Cullum case. And who Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is covering for. And Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) asks somebody up at the yoga studio why they are so curious about Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).

So, this may be Joss asking more questions like when she was quizzing Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) about Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Faison. And this could put Joss right onto Cullum’s radar if Cassius reports that Joss is asking questions because, you know, she doesn’t know it, but she’s talking to not Nathan West.

General Hospital Spoilers Thursday, April 16th: Lucas Stands Firm

On Thursday, April 16th, we have got Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) standing firm on something and it may be about him staying at Wyndemere. Now, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Joss might be trying to get Lucas to move out, but he is sticking around to try to help Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and get a lead on her meds while he’s telling people other things to cover.

This week, Joss is over at Carly’s house. She’s with her mom and with Valentin, and their chat seems to alarm Carly. And this may be about Cullum’s shooting and about Jason. We could see Joss bringing Valentin into the loop and telling him that she and Britt think Jason is protecting somebody because Joss might want Valentin’s opinion on this since it is WSB related. Somebody raises Joss’s suspicions on Thursday. So, could be Lucas or it could be from her chat with Valentin and her mom.

GH Spoilers:

Also, Sidwell is thinking really hard after talking to somebody. We know he’s talking to Ava. We know he is talking to Ezra. So, could be them, could be Lucas, maybe Britt, although I think she’s going to avoid him like the plague.

And speaking of her, she hits a setback. So, it may be on the Cold Fusion Project or it may be her Huntington’s symptoms. Plus, Carly is really rattled by something and it may be the visit from Josslyn.

Friday, April 17th: Ethan Lovett Returns on General Hospital!

On Friday, April 17th, there is a confrontation between Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) and Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell). And I could see Willow chewing her a new one about Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) exposing their kids to a former prostitute.

And of course, the Wylie Corinthos (Viron Weaver) hooker incident that nearly cost Brook Lynn and Chase Harrison (Josh Swickard) the chance to foster Phoebe. I don’t think that Michael’s going to like this. And I kind of hope Jacinda gives it all back to her. Plus, Ethan Lovett (Nathan Parsons) is back in Port Charles. Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) is going to be stunned to see her other big brother.

And with Nathan Parsons back to General Hospital, watch for Ethan to partner with Sonny to take Sidwell down. Ethan is gonna want Sidwell to pay after he tried to kill both Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) and Sasha Gilmore. And I am super excited to see Ethan back. I love Nathan Parsons.

GH Spoilers: Valentin Shocks Nina

Plus, somebody takes Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) by surprise. And it may be her former crush, Ethan, whom she really betrayed back in the day when she falsely accused him of abuse. And somebody has an interesting offer for Nina. And it looks like it is Valentin because he shows up to see Nina out of the blue.

I wonder if he’s got some advice and some information on how to handle Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). And Nina may tell him she already threatened Jack with tattling to Carly because. But, of course, Nina has no idea that Carly is covering for and conspiring with Valentin.

Laura considers an alliance with somebody. Could be Ethan, could be her and Ezra working together against Sidwell because now that he’s threatened Ezra, he might be scared and ready to try and get rid of the threat.

Week of April 20th-24th on GH: May Sweeps Kicks Off

The week of April 20th through the 24th, by the way, is when May sweeps kicks off. It runs April 23rd to May 20th. So, we’re going to find out more on Jordan’s car crash. Of course, Brook Lynn was blinded by a car driving into her lane, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it was Jordan’s car.

It could have been Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte Cassadine‘s (Scarlett Fernandez) car since they crashed, or it could have been Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) because he was in a big rush. And there might have been somebody else out on that road as well. So, I’m wondering if Tracy is going to get the scrape on Brook Lynn’s car secretly repaired.

We’ll see more of Dante working his three big cases, the Cullum shooting, the Marco stabbing, and Jordan’s crash. And I wonder if he’s going to get credible leads on any of them because his son Rocco Falconeri did the shooting. Cullum did the stabbing and the car crash remains a mystery despite Brook Lynn’s guilty conscience. So, don’t decide yet that she did this deed. That’s way too obvious.

General Hospital Spoilers: Molly & Cody Get Closer

Molly Lansing (Kristen Vaganos) gets in deeper with Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) as she recovers and Alexis Davis‘ (Nancy Lee Grahn) anxiety about Danny accelerates. Kristina and Ethan are going to reconnect and we’ll need to wait to see if there are sparks. Britt is hurrying to complete the Cold Fusion project to save herself.

But honestly, they’re probably planning to kill her anyway because why not snip that loose end? Fortunately for her, Cassius is watching out for her. However, if Lulu reports back to not Nathan, that Britt warned her away from him, I think Cassius may lose his temper with Britt. Plus, Lucas has not given up on helping her and is going to be poking around.

But you know, Pascal (Mark Forget)  is going to be watching. Valentin and Carly continue to struggle with their feelings for each other. And more people know about Valentin now because Curtis and Nina are both aware he’s in town. Curtis isn’t going to talk because he helped save Jordan. And I bet Nina won’t either.

But with Willow blackmailing her, anything is possible. Rocco is still struggling with the aftermath of shooting Cullum. And Britt and Joss may figure out soon that he is the shooter, but that will leave their hands tied because they’ll understand totally why Jason is protecting him.

Nina may become embroiled in the Carly, Joss, and Valentin’s scheme, and Jacinda is going to tell Michael about her run-in with Willow. Sidwell keeps scheming for revenge. Things may get violent soon, and Ethan gets busy on the plan he came to town to enact.

After watching Nicole Kidman’s Before I Go To Sleep on Netflix a couple weeks ago, I needed something that didn’t completely waste her talent. My search led me to 1995’s To Die For, which has such a stacked cast you’d think I was exaggerating if you didn’t check IMDb or Wikipedia yourself. Going as pitch black as a Gus Van Sant comedy can get, To Die For showcases Joaquin Phoenix, Casey Affleck, Kurtwood Smith, Wayne Knight, Matt Dillon, and even David Cronenberg in a brief appearance.

It’s a fourth-wall-breaking film that works as a thriller, comedy, drama, and mockumentary all at once, rolled into a murder mystery centered on Nicole Kidman’s Suzanne Stone, a woman so obsessed with fame and fortune that she throws her entire life away when nobody around her sticks to the script.

Multiple Timelines Effortlessly Intersect

There are two narratives in To Die For that strip away any real sense of mystery from the premise. Through television interviews, we’re introduced to Suzanne Stone, who got off scot-free after her husband, Larry Maretto (Matt Dillon), was murdered. We know she’s involved, maybe even directly responsible, right off the rip, but that’s not what the film is interested in. Instead, we get a full character breakdown of Suzanne and her sociopathic commitment to becoming a TV star. We know Larry is dead, and we know she had something to do with it. The story then rewinds to show us how everything led up to those interviews, introducing everyone she crossed paths with along the way.

Desperate to become a world-famous TV correspondent, Suzanne grows resentful of her husband Larry, despite the fact that he gives up his band and focuses on work so he can support her dreams. The guy does a complete 180, even though he comes from a mob-connected family running multiple successful businesses. In other words, Larry was never a screwup, but he still buckles down when he falls in love with Suzanne because he wants the best for her. That contrast exists purely to show just how unhinged Suzanne is when it comes to chasing clout.

While Larry works his ass off, occasionally hinting that he’d like to start a family, Suzanne takes a job at WWEN, a local cable network, under the supervision of Ed Grant (Wayne Knight), who we learn through interviews is absolutely terrified of her. It’s one thing to be ambitious, but Suzanne is aggressively so, making most people rightfully suspicious of what she’s capable of, including Larry’s sister Janice (Illeana Douglas).

While working her way toward a weather girl position, Suzanne recruits naive high school students for a “Teens Speak Out” documentary she hopes will launch her career. She pulls in a troublemaker named Jimmy (Joaquin Phoenix), who immediately falls under her spell, along with Lydia (Alison Folland), who admires her, and Russell (Casey Affleck), who was basically forced to participate. With three teenagers eating out of the palm of her hand, Suzanne starts plotting how to get rid of Larry, who she believes is holding her back because he wants a traditional life she finds completely suffocating.

A Masterclass In Manipulation

If I had to compare Nicole Kidman’s Suzanne to anybody, it would be Reese Witherspoon’s Tracy Flick from Election. She’s beautiful, driven, and easily the most dangerous person you could cross paths with if you happen to be in her way of her goals. Suzanne’s ruthlessness is initially softened by how charming and driven she is when she makes her first impressions. When you apply that level of manipulation to a group of teenagers, it’s only a matter of time before they start doing exactly what you want. This dynamic comes to a head when Suzanne fully sinks her hooks into Jimmy.

But nobody here is innocent. Suzanne may be the mastermind who sets everything in motion, but everyone else is self-aware enough to know better. That’s where half the fun comes from. Jimmy might be infatuated, but he still makes his own choices. Suzanne sizes him up, offers him a version of the life he thinks he wants, and he goes along with it despite the consequences because he’s short-sighted and naive. It’s fascinating to watch because at any point, anyone in Suzanne’s orbit could have just said “nah” and walked away. But they don’t.

One of the more uniquely structured black comedies I’ve seen in a while, To Die For is equal parts morbid and hilarious. Every character is painfully short-sighted, and they all become worse versions of themselves the moment they fall for Suzanne’s tricks. And while you should hate Suzanne for being an objectively terrible person, you still end up rooting for her because she’s living life on her own terms, just in the most antisocial way possible.

To Die For is currently streaming on Netflix.

Over the past two years, Alien fans haven’t wanted for Xenomorph action. 2024 saw the Ridley Scott-created sci-fi horror franchise return to the big screen for the first time in seven years with Alien: Romulus, a new, standalone film helmed by The Evil Dead remake helmer Fede Álvarez. Just one year later, FX followed up on the small screen with Noah Hawley‘s excellent Alien: Earth, which brings the universe’s greatest threat directly to the blue planet. Their respective successes also earned both of them follow-ups, but while the latter has been gathering steam, even adding Peter Dinklage as a new star for Season 2, it hasn’t been as smooth sailing for the former.

A Romulus sequel was in the works right away in late 2024 after the Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson-led affair raked in $350 million globally at the box office and earned the best reviews for the franchise in years. Álvarez and co-writer Rodo Sayagues quickly penned a script that would take the series to new places, with survivors Rain (Spaeny) and Andy (Jonsson) both likely returning. However, everything ground to a halt after the director, despite initially hoping to return and begin filming last year, departed the project back in September and vowed to help find his replacement at the helm. He’s still on board as a producer, but it was undoubtedly a big momentum killer after he seemed poised to be the next figurehead breathing new life into Alien. Since then, we still haven’t learned much about the follow-up or who will be taking the reins, and, from the sound of it, most of the cast and crew haven’t either.

In an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff for his upcoming new film Wasteman with Tom Blyth, Jonsson could only offer more of the same after similarly not having much to say at the Toronto International Film Festival. “Hey, Perri, you know I absolutely adore you,” he said. “I think you’re brilliant, but whatever it is and whenever it happens, I can’t quite say.” When asked about the franchise as a whole, though, he did take an opportunity to celebrate what has been accomplished with both Romulus and Earth in the years since Scott first had viewers screaming with his 1979 classic. Romulus was a breath of fresh air for audiences, turning the attention towards a younger, less experienced group of space colonizers coming face to face with the Xenomorphs for the first time. Whatever happens with its sequel and with Andy, Jonsson is excited about the world of possibilities that has since opened up in the aftermath of that return to form.

“Well, because it’s a world with brilliant characters. It’s a world that is thrilling on camera, thrilling on screen, and in my opinion, and I say this having done Romulus, which is a project that I’m really proud of, Cailee [Spaeny]’s really proud of, and everyone who worked on it is really proud of, is that those projects that help reinvent what cinema is and what it can be are the ones I always want to be involved in, and I think that this is one. With us being a predominantly younger cast, it’s completely changed what the Alien universe was, and opened up the possibility for what it could be. I think that that’s quite exciting. I think that that’s what Earth did, as well, and ours.”

What Is Jonsson’s New Film ‘Wasteman’ About?

Beyond Romulus, Jonsson’s star has been rising quickly in Hollywood, as he also recently co-starred in Francis Lawrence‘s acclaimed adaptation of Stephen King‘s The Long Walk. Wasteman will be another dramatic affair for the star as he plays Taylor, a man nearing the end of his prison sentence. Having already served 13 years, his hard work as a cook is about to pay off as he’s nearing release on good behavior. However, his chance at freedom and the opportunity to see the son he’s never met are put in jeopardy by his new cellmate, Dee (Blyth), who isn’t just a drug dealer but is hell-bent on controlling the entire illicit drug trade within the facility. Directed by Cal McMau from a screenplay by Hunter Andrews and Eoin Doran, it’ll follow Taylor’s desperate struggle as a man with everything left to lose tied to another who is all too ready to risk what little he has left.

Wasteman premiered at TIFF last year to widespread acclaim and has only continued to wow critics with its release in the U.K. earlier this year through Lionsgate. It currently holds a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with praise for both the intensity of the film and the chemistry between the two leads. Corin Silva, Alex Hassell, Neil Linpow, Layton Blake, Paul Hilton, and more round out the cast.

Stay tuned here at Collider for more updates on the next Alien movie. In the meantime, Wasteman will hit theaters in the U.S. this Friday, April 17.

Chris D’Elia is once again at the center of controversy, following comments that many say cross a serious line.

The comedian is facing widespread backlash after sharing what appears to be a text exchange in which he mocked the #MeToo movement. Ironically, the move has only served to reignite criticism tied to past allegations against him.

The latest uproar also comes just months after he publicly called out the comedy industry for distancing itself from him in the wake of the allegations.

Chris D’Elia Mocks #MeToo Slogan

Chris D’Elia is facing a fresh wave of criticism after comments many are calling tone-deaf and provocative. The comedian drew criticism online after appearing to mock the central slogan of the #MeToo movement in a recent social media post.

The controversial performer took to his Instagram Story to share a screenshot of a private conversation reacting to Ruby Rose‘s claims that singer Katy Perry sexually assaulted her.

“They’re eating each other now,” the other person wrote alongside the link.

D’Elia responded by taking a sarcastic jab at one of the movement’s widely recognized phrases. “Believe all women,” he wrote. “Believe both of them. They’re saying different things but believe all women.”

D’Elia’s alleged text has sparked outrage online, with some critics pointing to his past accusations of sexual misconduct as they reacted to the post.

“What possessed him to post this? What a loser,” a Reddit user wrote.

Another commenter slammed his tone, saying, “So he’s one of those guys that leaned hard into being an -sshole misogynist after getting called out.”

Others were even more scathing, calling out what they saw as a pattern of behavior. “His smugness here is almost as disgusting as everything he’s been accused of,” one person wrote, while also questioning how he continues to maintain a public platform.

Chris D’Elia Faced Serious Allegations Of Sexual Misconduct

Back in 2023, multiple women came forward with sexual assault accusations against D’Elia.

In interviews with Rolling Stone, at least ten women accused him of exhibiting predatory behavior, with four alleging they were teenagers at the time of their interactions with him.

Some of the accusers claimed D’Elia solicited explicit content, made sexual demands in exchange for show tickets, and engaged in manipulative behavior.

The actor broadly denied the allegations. However, according to the report, he did not directly respond to several detailed requests for comment on specific claims, instead questioning the credibility of some of the women who came forward.

D’Elia Claimed His Escapades Were Consensual

After the accusations against him, D’Elia pushed back. He insisted that his past relationships were both legal and consensual. The comedian first faced widespread scrutiny in 2020 when several women shared screenshots in which he made sexual advances.

The fallout was swift.

His talent agency dropped him, collaborators distanced themselves, and Comedy Central removed his special “White Male. Black Comic” from streaming platforms. He was also recast in a film project at the time.

In 2021, D’Elia addressed the controversy in a video statement, acknowledging personal failings but maintaining that his encounters were consensual.

“It became a lifestyle that I didn’t know how to stop,” he said, per the L.A. Times. “That’s not the guy I want to be… It makes me feel shameful, and it makes me feel bad.”

Earlier this year, D’Elia hit out at fellow comedians, accusing them of abandoning him during the height of allegations against him.

Speaking on the “Trying Not to Die” podcast with Jack Osbourne and Ryan Drexler, “The Good Doctor” star said he was stunned by how quickly people he’d known for years distanced themselves in 2020.

“It blew my mind,” D’Elia said, per Fox News, adding that he once believed the comedy world was built on a strong sense of community. “Most comedians are just pretty spineless.”

He went on to say the experience reinforced his belief that people are eager to tear others down.

“I was surprised by a few people,” he continued. “You really realize that people can’t wait to hate you. It blew my mind, and it still kind of does.”
