One of the most hotly anticipated movies of 2026, there are now eight months until Denis Villeneuve‘s stunning adaptation of Frank Herbert‘s Dune novels comes to an explosive end with Dune: Part Three. Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya) will return alongside an all-star cast when the film drops on December 18, joined by the likes of Florence Pugh, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Anya Taylor-Joy, and more.

Of this cast, alongside Zendaya, Ferguson is having an incredibly busy year. Starting with the eventual box office flop Mercy, an AI-based sci-fi thriller that co-starred Chris Pratt, Ferguson then released two projects in quick succession, joining a stacked ensemble in the long-awaited Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, followed swiftly by The Magic Faraway Tree, the new fantasy film based on the 1939 children’s novel. With Ferguson having an impressive year, it is perhaps less surprising that another of her many movies is back in the U.S. streaming charts.

The film in question is The Girl on the Train, the 2016 adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ best-selling novel that starred Emily Blunt as Rachel. Unlike the upcoming Dune: Part Three, which is expected to earn close to $1 billion at the box office, The Girl on the Train earned a respectable $174 million against a reported budget of just $45 million. A decade on, and viewers have returned to the often overlooked adaptation, as it ranks as one of the ten most-watched movies on Starz in the U.S., at the time of writing.

What Did Collider Say About ‘The Girl on the Train’?

Despite earning a promising box office haul, The Girl on the Train was less successful with critics. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the movie received a 44% score, with the consensus reading, “Emily Blunt’s outstanding performance isn’t enough to keep The Girl on the Train from sliding sluggishly into exploitative melodrama.” In Perri Nemiroff‘s review for Collider at the time, she was slightly more positive in her response, saying:

“Taylor needed to knock it all out of the park in order to deliver a winning adaptation. Even the slightest misstep is going to be magnified in this type of film and threaten the credibility of the narrative, and unfortunately that is what happens here.”

The Girl on the Train is streaming on Starz. Stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.

Love on the Spectrum’s Abbey Romeo and  David Isaacman have broken their silence on their split.

“Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other,” Abbey, David and their families said in a joint statement to People on Friday, April 10. “At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways, but they remain friends wishing each other the best.”

Multiple outlets reported on Thursday, April 9, that Abbey, 27, and David, 31, had called it quits after nearly five years together. (The Sun was the first to report the news.)

Abbey and David met on a blind date in July 2021, as seen on season 1 of Netflix’s Love on the Spectrum in May 2022. The duo quickly became a fan-favorite couple and went on to appear in seasons 2 through 4.

During the season 4 premiere earlier this month, Abbey teased that she and David might take their romance to the next level.

We first met Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman back in 2022 on Netflix’s Emmy winning docuseries, Love on the Spectrum. But the fan favorite couple — who viewers watched fall in love on season 2 earlier this year— say that their story is just getting started. “We [are] gonna get engaged someday,” Isaacman, 29, exclusively […]

“What if he gives me a wedding ring?” she asked her mother.

While some fans took the comment as a sign that Abbey and David would be headed down the aisle together, other eagle-eyed followers noticed that the now-exes have not appeared on each other’s social media of late.

David was most recently featured on Abbey’s social media in December 2025, when she documented their trip to Universal Studios and shared a highlight reel of moments from the past year. Meanwhile, Abbey appeared in a Christmas photo with David.

“I hope everyone has a great holiday with family, friends and loved ones,” he wrote alongside the snap.

Abbey and David previously teased their desire to get engaged in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in October 2024.

“We [are] gonna get engaged someday,” David said at the time. “[Abbey] likes all the things I like and she tries new things too. She is loving and kind … and she is beautiful and makes me feel like a prince.”

Abbey added, “[We’ll] get engaged someday … [right now] we’re having a blast.”

One year later, Abbey shared an update on their relationship.

“We have fun together and do things we both love like going to the Los Angeles Zoo and Griffith Observatory,” she exclusively told Us in October 2025. “We want to take our time getting married because I don’t want to be a divorced lady like my mom.”

Abbey also admitted that she and David sometimes faced obstacles in their romance.

“We are working on our communication skills because we have different kinds of autism,” she explained. “I am a Gestalt learner and think in memories, and he is very patient with me, and we are still working hard on understanding each other.”

Despite their problems, Abbey said she was proud that she and David could inspire other couples.

“Fans say that David and I inspire them and that we help them believe in love,” she continued. “That is amazing. There was a time when I didn’t think I would ever be with someone and those days are over. I want everyone to find love.”

Candace Owens slammed Donald Trump in response to his remarks about her in a recent online post.

“MAGA is no longer commanded by you and you know it,” Owens, 36, said in a YouTube video uploaded on Friday, April 10. “You belong to the Epstein class. That is your legacy now.”

Owens also claimed that Trump could lose support for being “fundamentally disloyal.”

“People will not fight beside, behind or for someone who is fundamentally disloyal,” she said. “If disloyalty and deceit is in your nature, then I highly suggest you combine it with silence.”

Conservative provocateur Candace Owens is criticizing President Donald Trump for failing to keep his many campaign promises. “Donald Trump has very clearly betrayed the American people,” Owens, 36, said in a Monday, March 9, YouTube video. “You need to accept that. I’ve had to accept that.” Owens added that Trump, 79, “has betrayed every last […]

The political commentator also accused Trump of being greedy.

“You chose money above respect, and what an absolute shame you chose to do that toward the end of your life … You can’t take money, and things and stuff with you when you go,” she said. “Just your soul … and you sold yours for what … another gilded ballroom?”

Owens’ comments about Trump come one day after the president slammed her and other media personalities who are critical about him and his actions in the Oval Office.

“I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs,” he wrote via his TruthSocial platform on Thursday, April 9. “They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!”

Trump continued, “Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did! They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some ‘free’ and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some ‘clicks’ because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody’s talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA — Or I wouldn’t have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE.”

Alex Jones has reacted after President Donald Trump publicly criticized the radio host and other conservative figureheads. “Well, President Trump came out on Truth Social and attacked myself and all the original MAGA supporters today,” Jones, 52, said in a video shared via X on Thursday, April 9. “I’m just so sad that whatever’s happened […]

Owens also defended Carlson and Kelly despite having their differences over the years.

“You can call Megyn Kelly a great many things. I have certainly have had my political disagreements with her over the years, but low IQ? Tucker Carlson low IQ? Me, low IQ? The three of us were unsuccessful?” she said on Thursday. “Tucker Carlson is more powerful than you. Deep down, I think you know and resent that which is proven as we read on.”

Owens continued, “Tucker Carlson is in his prime. ‘He couldn’t even finish college!’ Are you aware that your base is composed of blue-collar workers who never even went to college? Many who never so much as even dreamed it. The farmers, the ranchers, the plumbers, the electricians — the people who work with their hands. You now stick your nose down to all of these people.”

Khloé Kardashian’s daughter is stepping into the spotlight — and into the kitchen — just days before her birthday.

True Thompson, who turns 8 years old on Sunday, showed off her culinary skills in a YouTube video shared by her mom on April 7. The charming clip follows True as she prepares a simple apple-based snack, and the twist is that it’s not even for herself. It’s for her mom.

The video also included revelations no one was expecting from True — including a disdain for sugary snacks and a very honest review of her mom’s new chips brand.

Khloe Kardashian’s Daughter Urges Safety in the Kitchen

True set the scene right from the start, delivering a confident intro that had all the makings of a seasoned vlogger.

“It’s late — it’s 9:41 — and my mom’s 41 and she’s gonna be filming the whole entire time like (a) cameraman… but camera girl,” True said.

Laying down some sick bars! Khloé Kardashian and 4-year-old daughter True Thompson enjoyed some early morning bonding by putting their songwriting skills to the test.  The Kardashians star, 38, posted a video via Instagram on Wednesday, March 1, that featured the mother-daughter duo singing about being  “fancy girls who know how to dress all the […]

The first order of business was cutting the apples with an apple corer. True started to do it herself before asking her mom for help. Her commentary as Khloé stepped in was pure gold.

“And then we press really hard, like Mommy has big muscles,” True said as her mom used the slicer. “And then you see, they’re like a rainbow or something — and like a flower.”

“Try not to cut yourself with these,” she added before giving her mom a round of applause. “She’s so strong.”
True then took over, using a kid-friendly knife to cut the apple slices into smaller chunks.

After all the apples were cut, True put them in a bowl and poured a glass of sparkling water over them before mixing it all together. She let them soak for a full minute while mixing frequently before draining the apples with a strainer and rinsing them with regular water.

She finished by sprinkling salt on the apples and taste-testing the result. Her verdict? “It’s good,” she declared, inviting viewers to try it at home.

Khloe Kardashian’s Daughter Shares a Confession

While True worked on the apples, Khloé was snacking on some of her Khloud Protein Chips — a brand she founded and released earlier this month. True, however, wasn’t interested.

According to Khloé, True thinks the “sweet heat” flavor is “too spicy” and the “buffalo” is “too flavorful.”

When Khloé pressed her daughter about not liking chips, True revealed that she doesn’t like cake, cookies or cupcakes either.

“Now you’re exposing me,” True said to her mom, who said she thought it was cool that she doesn’t like those things.

True went on to describe sugary snacks as “disgusting” and called her mom out for “just chomping away” at the chips. The playful back-and-forth between mother and daughter gave the video a warm, unscripted feel that viewers are sure to enjoy.

Heather Locklear is off the market once again and is dating Lorenzo Lamas, Us Weekly can confirm.

Lamas, 68, and Locklear, 64, “are seeing each other,” a rep for the Falcon Crest actor confirmed to Us Weekly on Friday, April 10.

TMZ, which was first to report the news, published pictures earlier on Friday that showed the pair posing while spending New Year’s Eve together in Las Vegas. The couple were photographed meeting chef Barry Dakake at Barry’s Steakhouse located inside the Circa Resort and Casino in Sin City in December 2025.

In one photo, Locklear put her arm around the chef as he smiled in between her and Lamas in the kitchen. A second picture showed the Dynasty alum trying a dessert fresh out of the oven as Lamas stood beside her.

In the early days of her career, Heather Locklear was the platonic ideal of a blonde bombshell, idolized by fans real and fictional. After she rose to fame in the early 1980s playing Officer Stacy Sheridan on T.J. Hooker, Locklear became a tabloid fixture as well because of her 1986 marriage to Mötley Crüe drummer […]

TMZ additionally reported on Friday that Locklear and Lamas’ adult children were planning to “hang out” this weekend and get to know each other as their parents’ romance heats up.

Us Weekly has reached out to Locklear’s rep for comment.

Locklear’s new relationship with Lamas comes nearly one year after Us exclusively confirmed in May 2025 that she was single.

At the time, multiple sources told Us that Locklear had recently split from fiancé Chris Heisser following their June 2020 engagement.

“Heather is single and she’s ready to date again,” an insider shared with Us, revealing that Locklear hadn’t seen Heisser since the New Year.

The source added that the former Melrose Place actress was “focusing on herself” and “doing really well.”

Prior to her on-again, off-again romance with Heisser, 64, Locklear was married two times. She and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee were married from 1986 to 1993.

Locklear moved on with Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, whom she wed in 1994. The pair welcomed daughter Ava in 1997. A decade later, Locklear and Sambora, 66, divorced in 2007.

The actress was also briefly engaged to Melrose Place costar Jack Wagner in 2011.

Lamas, for his part, has been married six times. The Love in the Clouds star was married to Victoria Hilbert from 1981 to 1982. He and second wife Michele Smith, who share son A.J. and daughter Shayne, were married from 1983 to 1985. (Smith died in January 2018 at the age of 61.)

Lamas welcomed daughters Alexandra, Victoria and Isabella, with third wife Kathleen Kinmont, whom he was married to from 1989 to 1993. Shauna Sand was married to the actor from 1996 to 2002, while Shawna Craig’s marriage to Lamas lasted from 2011 to 2018. Lamas’ most recent marriage to Kenna Nicole Scott was from 2023 to 2025.

The Bold and the Beautiful alum is also the father to daughter Patton Lee from a previous relationship with Daphne Ashbrook.

As Boston Blue prepares for an explosive season finale, Sonequa Martin-Green teased a difficult revelation.

“What a journey I take as Lena Silver. There’s some threads of it at the beginning of the season [and] you’ll start to see us delving into some really serious things,” Martin-Green exclusively told Us Weekly about what is still to come.

Martin-Green warned that there “were difficult stories to tell.”

“I applaud Brandon Sonnier — our coshowrunner — because the Silver family is based on his own family. There are a lot of dynamics in Lena’s life that are based on his life,” she continued. “So this is real and this is authentic. This is his experience. So I am just so excited for people to see it because it’s rough. It’s rough stuff that Lena is about to go through for the rest of the season.”

During the Friday, April 10, episode of the Blue Bloods spinoff, Lena was seen asking her mother, Mae (Gloria Reuben), for more details on her birth father. Mae was reluctant to open up about the past — and that will continue to be addressed on the show.

“It’s going to have a ripple effect. It’s going to be time for this family to start unearthing some serious stuff. We went there and we went to those difficult places because the story was just really important,” the actress noted. “I’m really hoping that people can relate to it and can see examples of it in their own lives.”

Martin-Green recalled a multitude of conversations being sparked on screen.

“We’re just one example of it. We’re a pretend example but I think that sometimes examples are needed to be seen,” she continued. “Lena is a cool cat — as I like to call her — and it’s nice when you get to see layers with somebody like that. She is self-assured, confident and carries herself with ease and smoothness. It’s really good storytelling to see someone like that be broken down and humbled.”

Lena was introduced to Us when Boston Blue premiered in October 2025. In addition to being Danny’s (Donnie Wahlberg) new partner, Martin-Green’s character brought in a new fictional family into the Blue Bloods universe: the Silvers.

“We’re standing on the shoulders of Blue Bloods and there’s so many amazing characters and relationships,” she told Us. “I don’t take that lightly.”

Martin-Green did use the opportunity to take what Blue Bloods built to pave the way for more authentic and important storytelling. Through Lena, Martin-Green was thrilled to expand the world with stories while offering insight into a Boston detective finding her place while part of a noted police family.

“There were the detectives at the BPD that really made an impact on me. It was amazing to be able to be there in person and see and then continuing to have those conversations on set is just invaluable,” she shared. “We ask them for some of everything and they are so open and willing and collaborative and gracious and generous with their stories that are difficult. I’ve been learning a lot about what it means to be a cop. I’m pulling from all the resources that I have around me.”

The work didn’t stop with the scenes Martin-Green filmed. She also spoke to Us about building Lena out through her wardrobe as well, saying, “It is a conversation that we continue to have about finding that balance because you don’t want to be in a position where you’re standing out but you also want to be put together. There’s something so elegant to me about Lena but also understated. The suits are a necessity because I have to wear those. But it was about, let’s work with certain cuts that have more of a femininity to them. It’s great to just dive into your femininity and into your softness because you have to have that masculine shield up when you’re at work.”

She added: “You have to put that force field up because the job just requires it. But when you’re home, you can be soft and you can sink into that softness. I want to keep growing in that and I appreciate that it is a collaboration and that we are able to have these conversations.”

Looking ahead, Martin-Green is excited about where the show goes from here.

“I just can’t stress enough how grateful I am to be telling a character-driven story in a procedural format. I couldn’t have imagined and I really appreciate it. We cover a lot and a lot goes down by the end of the season,” she told Us. “There are a lot of things that are open-ended. There are so many questions and so many things have been introduced. Things are so big in the second half of the season that I feel like we’re going to see the undoing of all of those things — or the coming together of all of those things — for episodes and episodes to come.

Martin-Green is also starring in Rick Gomez‘s directorial debut She Dances, which follows a struggling father who attempts to reconnect with his daughter while serving as her chaperone at a dance competition. Steve Zahn, Ethan Hawke, Mackenzie Ziegler, Rosemarie DeWitt and Audrey Zahn make up the rest of the cast of the movie, which is out now.

Boston Blue airs on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

Ridley Scott is in line for a big year in 2026 when he returns to the world of sci-fi with the release of The Dog Stars. The post-apocalyptic thriller stars Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin opposite Margaret Qualley, and after being delayed out of its previously March release spot, it’s now set to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer. The Dog Stars will be Scott’s first sci-fi movie in almost 10 years, since he last directed Alien: Covenant in 2017. Following the release of the film, Scott has focused more on historical epics in the last few years, but it hasn’t been exactly smooth sailing. Movies like The Last Duel (starring Matt Damon) and Napoleon (starring Joaquin Phoenix) have gone on to become some of the most controversial releases of Scott’s career.

One Ridley Scott-directed and produced film that’s anything but controversial, though, is Alien. The 1979 sci-fi film is loved by critics and audiences alike, and it’s considered one of the most influential movies ever made. Alien also spawned a sci-fi horror franchise that’s still ongoing to this day, with new releases like Alien: Romulus and Alien: Earth coming in 2024 and 2025. It’s been nearly 50 years since the first Alien movie was released, but the film is still one of the most popular movies in the world on HBO Max, where it’s streaming exclusively in America. Alien grossed $109 million at the box office against an $11 million budget, and the film holds marks of 93% from critics and 94% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Not only is it arguably Scott’s greatest film, it’s one of the best sci-fi movies ever made.

What Is ‘Alien’ About?

The official synopsis for Alien reads as follows:

“Ridley Scott’s classic sci-fi chiller about seven astronauts who find themselves hunted by a horrific predator in deep space.”

The ensemble cast of Alien consists of Tom Skerritt as Dallas, Sigourney Weaver as Ripley, Veronica Cartwright as Lambert, Harry Dean Stanton as Brett, John Hurt as Kane, Ian Holm as Ash, and more. Dan O’Bannon wrote the screenplay for Alien with help from Ronald Shusett on the story. James Cameron directed the first Alien sequel in 1986 before handing directorial control to David Fincher for the polarizing Alien threequel, Alien 3.

Check out Alien on HBO Max in America, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage on the future of the Alien franchise.
