Tom Cruise's girlfriend Ana de Armas has very glamorous look for terrifying new movie
On Friday a first look at the Cuban bombshell was shared as she appears dramatically different in the poster for the movie Eden, which is shockingly based on a true story.
De Armas is glammed up to the nines with heavy makeup and a cute bob haircut that is styled just so.
The 37-year-old is starring in Eden from acclaimed director Ron Howard and she has some pretty bigtime costars: Sydney Sweeney, Jude Law, Vanessa Kirby and Daniel Bruhl.
The film sounds twisted and terrifying as a group of people try to get along on a remote island even though the dead bodies keep piling up.
'We hunt, we fight, we kill,' says Law's character in the most recent trailer that sees de Armas' character as a wicked villain hell bent on ruling the island.
The upcoming movie 'unravels the shocking true story of a group of disillusioned outsiders who abandon modern society in search of a new beginning.
'Settling on a remote, uninhabited island, their utopian dream quickly unravels as they discover that the greatest threat isn't the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but each other.
'What follows is a chilling descent into chaos where tensions spiral, desperation takes hold, and a twisted power struggle leads to betrayal, violence, and the deaths of half the colony.'
Last month it was reported that Cruise has been an 'incredible mentor' to de Armas. The Oblivion actor and the brunette have a 'special work relationship' and the actress has 'prepped' all summer for their first project together: a supernatural ocean thriller called Deeper.
A source told People: 'Tom is crazy hardworking and she's very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime.'
Tom and Ana have been romantically linked to each other since Valentine's Day.
The source shared: 'Tom is an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him.'
Tom is still one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, and he's never lost his passion for filmmaking. The actor recently admitted that he's fulfilling a 'life-long dream' by working in the movie business.

Daniel Bruhl left and Sydney Sweeney right in the film
He told Extra: 'It's such a privilege to do what I do. It's been a life-long dream of mine to be able to do this and to make movies... I truly, I love it. That is my, I don't know, it's not what I do, it's who I am. It is my honor to entertain.'
This comes after Cruise visited de Armas at her $7 million home in Vermont.
In late July they were seen holding hands as they walked through the town of Woodstock where they picked up ice cream cones.
The 63-year-old Top Gun actor had on a blue T-shirt and jeans with a cap as she was in a white T-shirt and dark jeans with her brunette hair in a ponytail as they seemed very into each other.
The actress quietly purchased the Vermont property in November 2022 after her whirlwind romance with Deep Water co-star Ben Affleck.
The Ballerina actress has been living in Vermont ever since with her two dogs Salsita and Elvis.
'Ana loves being at her home in Vermont because it's away from all the frenetic energy of Los Angeles and New York City, it's a place where she can really unwind from the stress of Hollywood,' an insider told Daily Mail. 'It's a solid sign that she is serious about Tom that she takes him to her tucked-away sanctuary because it means so much to her.'
Vermont is a state in the northeastern United States, known for its natural landscape, which is primarily forested. Part of the New England region, it's also known for being home to more than 100 19th-century covered wooden bridges.

The remote mansion offers six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The generous 30-acre spot also boasts mountain views, open meadows, forests, trails and a swimming pool. According to the listing, the home was sold fully furnished. It is not known if the Bond girl changed up the pieces.
De Armas had reportedly previously lived with her former boyfriend, Affleck, in his luxe $20 million home in LA's Pacific Palisades, after putting her own Venice Beach property on the market.
The pair were seen in Los Angeles together plenty during the pandemic lockdown, as they routinely walked their dogs. She left LA because 'it became a little bit too much. There's no escape. There's no way out,' she has said in the past. She also said Hollywood made her 'anxious' because in LA, there is 'always the feeling of something that you don't have, something missing.'
The couple, who had met on the set of Deep Water, broke up in January 2021.
De Armas went on to date Tinder VP Paul Boukadakis, while Affleck we d then divorced Jennifer Lopez.

Does James Bond have to be played by a man? Helen Mirren seems to think so
'I'm such a feminist,' Helen Mirren told Saga magazine, but there are some jobs a woman can't do. To be precise: 'You can't have a woman [as James Bond]. It just doesn't work. James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else.' Mirren is starring opposite Pierce Brosnan in the film adaptation of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, in which they both play amateur sleuths in a care home. Happily, that is a unisex job. Brosnan might also describe himself as 'such a feminist' – he has never said so explicitly, but in 2019, he said a female Bond would be 'exhilarating'. However, he's now back on team men, saying: 'I'm so excited to see the next man come on the stage and to see a whole new exuberance and life for this character.' Exhilaration, excitement, exuberance: all qualities I don't think I've ever seen in any Bond, across the great gamut of maleness, from Connery to Craig. But who am I to judge? Whenever 007 gets a new pen that can poison someone from 50 paces, the thrill racing through his veins might be implied by his slightly less stern visage. Truly, masculinity is an unknowable frontier. A couple of things, before we hand the franchise over to Amazon, who bought it for more than $1bn earlier this year. The essential qualities of Bond are as follows: he can kill on command without conscience, except when he has a conscience; he is patriotic; he is irresistible to women; he favours discreetly tailored, monochrome clothing; he can drink neat spirits without becoming intoxicated; and he always introduces himself in reverse order, to people who tend to already know his name. None of this screams 'man', except perhaps the patriotism, if you understand emotionally charged nationalism as a drumbeat of the patriarchy. Having said that, women can serve the patriarchy just as well as men – look at Mirren. Sorry, that is totally uncalled for: her feminist membership cannot be revoked, at least not on the basis of her Bond opinions, since that would be handing 007 too much power in the realm of gender. On a separate point: is Bond a feminist, and if he is, does that mean it's fine for him to remain a man in perpetuity? It's a tricky one. His value system has changed so much over the 25 films, from his early lovable-chauvinist years to his late anguished-quester-after-the-truth-of-the-self iteration, a lesser person than myself might think the masculine ideal had itself gone on a journey since it first put on a dinner jacket in 1962. That, however, is a fruitless line of analysis, since if we were to take James Bond as too literal a representation of the changing social expectations of men, we'd have to conclude that they can be any which way, so long as they're prepared to take out a minor dictator with a piano wire and have a disregard for due process. Arguably more important than any of that is what the Amazon takeover will do to the franchise, given the semi-recent history of the tech company – it invented an AI recruitment tool in 2018 that effectively trained itself to prefer male candidates; it was shown to have embedded sexism in its sports coverage, after Alexa didn't know what a Lioness was; and, according to employees, it has an office culture in which you're never not at work, which automatically excludes sane people – and come on, a lot of those are going to be women. Does this sound like a safe pair of hands to take over the management of a fictional character whose arc we would hope is going to continue to bend towards gender justice? Not really, but at the same time, if Amazon did spring a female Bond on the world, and used that as feminist-washing, proof in perpetuity that none of the sexist algorithms were created deliberately, well, that would be quite annoying. Nobody overreact, but surely what this moment in history is crying out for is a gender-fluid Bond. Zoe Williams is a Guardian columnist Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

Joss Stone reveals she was in an abusive relationship as she opens up for the first time about the 'extremely dangerous' time in her life
Joss Stone has revealed she was in an abusive relationship as she opened up about the 'extremely dangerous' time in her life in a new Instagram video on Monday. The singer, 38, explained how a former partner once threw her out of his home in the middle of the night in the pouring rain while she was only wearing a T-shirt. Joss, who didn't reveal when the domestic relationship was, admitted she attempted to 'leave him many many times' but the situation became more dangerous. The You Had Me singer is now married to former US Marine Cody DaLuz and they share four children, Violet, three, Shackleton, two, nine-month-old son Bear, who they welcomed via adoption, and Nalima, three-months. Now opening up for the first time, Joss discussed how she escaped a former domestic relationship and how 'only cowards abuse women' as she gave advice to those in the same situation. She said: 'If there is a risk of danger don't tell him in person that your leaving, and that leads me to a story of my own. 'I was in a relationship like this one, I had tried to leave him, I can't even tell you how many times and each time it felt like it was getting more and more dangerous. 'One day he threw me out, surprising how strong he was, in the rain and I was just wearing a T-shirt because it was night time, it was actually his T-shirt. 'I had no underwear on and he threw me out in the rain and he thought he had trapped me in the drive way because I didn't know the code to get out the gate and he thought it was locked, he thought he had just trapped me in the rain.' She continued: 'But I had clocked the code the last time he put it in, I had clocked it and I ran to that gate and I typed it in and the gate started opening and I was like 'oh my god I'm going, oh my god I'm going to go'. 'So I ran and my feet were killing me, they were getting ripped up by the bloody concrete. 'I'm running and thinking I'm going to get to the end of the road and I have nothing, nothing, no phone, how am I going to call anybody and what do I do and as I started to think that I slowed down and I turned around and the f***er was running after me.' Joss said the man 'dragged her back' to the house but she was eventually able to leave him when she went off to work touring and instead of 'being noble and kind' and ending the relationship face to face, she 'just never went back'. She said: 'It was so annoying and he did catch me and told me that the police were going to come and arrest me, which wasn't true but he dragged me back and that was that. 'But I was able to leave him because I am a touring musician and I used to go on the road to do my job so that was actually easy and then I just never went back. 'I didn't need to be noble and kind by breaking up with him face to face, I tried that many many times and it was extremely dangerous. 'As I have lived a part of this, a bag and a plan is a good idea'. Originally prompting the conversation, one fan wrote to her and said, 'I'm ready to leave him, help!', Joss shared her advice in a second video and urged women to have a 'to go bag' well hidden. She said: 'There is so much more that needs to be said here, if you find yourself needing to leave a person who isn't a safe person you need to be careful how you do it. 'One lady said make a to go bag, where it is safe and he won't find it. It is very likely that if your in this position you won't have anyone because he stripped you off your friends and family. 'A new phone and a charger, you don't want him tracking you and if you can't get a new one turn off all the locations. 'Plan your route to leave and screenshot and document the abuse. 'If you have children, teach your children a safe word so you then know when its time to go. Originally prompting the conversation, one fan wrote to her, 'I'm ready to leave him, help!', Joss shared her advice in a second video and urged women to have a 'to go bag' well hidden In the caption, Joss revealed she decided to tell her story so other women know they are 'not alone' and shared a number of helpline in the hope to help other women 'You will need your ID, passport, birth certificate, cash, cards and medication. 'If you are running away with your children make sure you have something for them and if your mumma then you are strong and you can do this'. In the caption, Joss revealed she decided to tell her story so other women know they are 'not alone'. She penned: 'I'm telling this story to highlight the fact that we are not alone, sadly it is super common ,1 in 3 women are abused by their partners at some point. 'So don't let it brake you. Don't let it become your identity, don't let it crush your beautiful spirit. Only a coward abuses a woman. He is weak you are strong. That's why he is trying to make you feel small. 'Men that abuse women are little b******. Full stop. However they can be quite dangerous little b******. So be careful when leaving. 'The end goal is to remove yourself in a smart and safe way. Not to make a point, not to get them to understand you or love you better, they won't. 'They don't know how to. It's time to go. So pack that bag. Make your plan and execute it with grace and class and precision.' She concluded: 'Good luck xoxox Lots of love to you and yours x. See my last post for women's help numbers . You don't have to do it alone x' In 2011, Joss was previously involved in a terrifying kidnap and murder ordeal at her home in Devon which changed her life and sparked her to relocate to Nashville. The horrifying ordeal saw two men found guilty in 2013 of plotting to decapitate the singer with a samurai sword at her home in Devon. She was the target of a shockingly violent scheme by Kevin Liverpool and Junior Bradshaw, who labelled her a 'she-devil' and wanted to kill her because of her links to the Royal Family. Bradshaw and Liverpool, described in court as 'cannabis-smoking layabouts', were stopped as they drove to the pop star's home in Devon with a car full of weapons. Kevin was sentenced to life in jail with a minimum of ten years and eight months to serve, while his accomplice Junior sentenced to 18 years behind bars, but both men had their sentences cut. 'What happened to me in 2011 has made me lock my doors and have an alarm system, whereas I didn't before,' Joss told The Times. A year after their sentencing, both men got their sentences cut after winning an appeal against the length of their sentences. Junior had his 18-year sentence cut to ten years by three Court of Appeal judges in London, while Kevin, who was originally given life with a minimum term of ten years and eight months, had his minimum reduced to six-and-a-half years.

Flashman and the movies: The little-known Hollywood adventures of George MacDonald Fraser
'I like film people, and their crazy trade,' George MacDonald Fraser wrote in his memoir after his screenwriting career had finished. On the evidence of his work, it is not hard to see why. Although his list of film credits is far from prolific, the author worked on some of the most purely enjoyable adventure pictures made in the 1970s and 1980s. The combination of wit, swashbuckling and licentious boisterousness made for a very satisfying combination indeed. Fraser first came to prominence after having a brilliant idea following his military service: what happened to Flashman, the notorious bully from Tom Brown's Schooldays, after he was expelled from Rugby School? The answer came in the shape of 12 bestselling novels focusing on the character published between 1969 and 2005, and allowing him to interact, Zelig -like, with many of the real-life figures from the Victorian period. They have regrettably fallen out of vogue today for their perceived un-PC qualities, but for those unbothered by that and more interested in a well-told, ripping yarn, they remain favourites. His career in cinema is less celebrated. He brought fun and wit to his scripts – not least when he put Bond in a gorilla suit – but many of the projects on which he worked became mired in difficulty. This month sees the release of Red Sonja, a long-delayed remake of one of Fraser's less memorable screenplays, a swords-and-sorcery B-movie originally starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brigitte Nielsen. Despite the presence of the ever-dependable British character actors Trevor Eve and Tim McMullan, it's doubtful anyone will flock to see it. Still, it serves as a reminder of the distinctive voice behind its source material, whose career proved to be rich, eventful and surprisingly influential. Here are his finest films – some of which actually made it to the screen. Flashman (unmade) After Fraser published his first Flashman novel in 1969, which purported to be a true account of the adventures of the Victorian rogue that Fraser had found by chance, it soon proved to be an enormous bestseller. As sure as day follows night, the film rights were sold to the director Richard Lester, who was best known for having directed the Beatles films A Hard Day's Night and Help!. Lester began to develop the film with Fraser, but eventually tired of it, later claiming that he felt that he had essentially already made it in his head after a lengthy pre-production process. The first – and many would say best – Flashman novel therefore remains unfilmed, although there have been rumours as to its making it to the screen. Over the years, leading actors have been suggested (including Daniel Day-Lewis). In 2015, none other than Ridley Scott bought the rights to the book with a view to producing an adaptation of it. Around the same time, that well-known roisterer Dominic West threw his hat into the ring, calling the 'spectacularly politically incorrect' Flashman 'a perfectly preserved gem that's just waiting for a good revival'. Should a bold, risk-taking director wish to return to Fraser's original adaptation of his novel, the results could be spectacular. The Three Musketeers (1973), The Four Musketeers (1974) Flashman may never have happened, but it began a good working relationship between Fraser and Lester. When Fraser met the director near his home on the Isle of Man, and knowing his reputation for making broad comedies, he tentatively asked 'How d'you want the Musketeers – straight, or sent up?' Lester's answer was simple: 'I want it written by the man who wrote Flashman.' Once Lester's initial idea of casting his old collaborators the Beatles was stymied by their break-up, production went smoothly. By the time that Fraser was shown the rough cut of the picture, now starring Richard Chamberlain, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay and Michael York, Lester was able to say, proudly, that 'it's 85-90 per cent you': something that the film's assured mixture of swashbuckling action and witty badinage lived up to. Without this film, it's doubtful we'd have the likes of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. But it was also a swift lesson in Hollywood chicanery. Fraser had written a long script, which he had intended a single epic picture to include an interval, but the producers simply cut it in half and released it as two pictures, called The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers. This came as a surprise to the cast, who were only informed at the Paris premiere that they would be watching half the film they had made. Royal Flash (1975) Fraser reunited with Lester to adapt the second of the Flashman novels, and ended up with a limp reprise of the Musketeers panache starring the likes of Bob Hoskins, Joss Ackland, David Jason and a splendidly caddish and self-regarding Malcolm McDowell. Lester later ruefully called Royal Flash 'a poor choice of mine'. He was right, but Fraser had by then moved on to another project, the similarly ill-fated Prince and the Pauper, based on the Mark Twain novel. Despite a starry cast with several Musketeers veterans (Reed, Raquel Welch and Charlton Heston), it was not a success. 'My first reaction is one of disappointment,' Fraser said upon seeing it. But it did strengthen his bond with producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind, who had also backed the Musketeers films, and would go on to make Superman the following year. Superman (1978), Superman II (1980) Although the screenplay for the first Superman film was credited to The Godfather's Mario Puzo, David and Leslie Newman and Robert Benton, Fraser suggested that Puzo's contribution was nominal. Puzo, he said, was brought on board to beef up the part of Jor-El, Superman's father (eventually played by Marlon Brando, at the then-exorbitant fee of $3m). When his usual collaborator Lester was hired to replace Richard Donner, who directed the first picture and a substantial part of what would become Superman II, Fraser contributed significant material to both films, uncredited. As he later reflected, 'there is no such credit as 'script fixer' or 'plot cobbler'.' (He was also privy to some of the more unlikely casting discussions for Superman before they fixed on Christopher Reeve – the boxer Muhammad Ali was at one point half-seriously mentioned.) One of his ideas, in which Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor steals Kryptonite from a museum by simply smashing one of the exhibits' cases with a brick, never made it to screen: a shame, as it could have been very amusing. Force Ten From Navarone (1978) Fraser relished working with major stars during his career, and one of the biggest was Harrison Ford, who worked on the ill-fated Guns of Navarone sequel Force Ten From Navarone, which Fraser went uncredited for. The writer relished how, when Ford was offered a local delicacy – dog meat with cheese – in the expensive Yugoslav hotel in which he was staying, he reacted with 'horrified disbelief'. But otherwise Ford was 'quite the gentlest of the cast, soft-spoken and quietly courteous, and not the one you'd expect to be first as an action man'. It was, however, a miserable business working on the film with its supposed lead, Robert Shaw, who a friend of Fraser's drily described as 'competent when sober'. Shaw hated making the picture and thought the script was appalling, complaining to a journalist on set: 'I'm seriously thinking that this might be my last film. I no longer have anything real to say. I'm appalled at some of the lines. I'm not at ease in film. I can't remember the last film I enjoyed making.' Still, when he was on set, he took delight in discussing his latest play with Fraser, complaining about the expense of the golf course he was having constructed at his Irish estate, or remarking on the price of fatherhood. The actor, who had 10 children, died of a heart attack before the film was released. Octopussy (1983) Fraser's produced scripts were less noteworthy during the 1980s, with only his work on the James Bond film Octopussy being seen by wide audiences. He attempted to bring a sense of fun and surprise to the character, much to the series producer Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli's disdain. The idea of dressing Bond up as a clown was bad enough, but another form of disguise was just unacceptable. As Fraser wrote in his memoir, 'I can still hear his cry of outraged disbelief: 'You want to put Bond in a gorilla suit?' This scene, and many other wacky moments, made it into the finished film, although the screenwriter was left in no doubt as to how insignificant his contribution would be to a strictly generic 007 romp. When his appointment was announced, Roger Moore simply called out 'Commiserations!' Red Sonja (1985) The 1985 sword-and-sorcery would-be epic was hardly a classic, being a tame rip-off of the more successful Conan the Barbarian and featuring a reluctant Schwarzenegger being crowbarred into more and more scenes in a vain attempt to give the film some box office clout, alongside the untested Nielsen. This stratagem failed, and the picture was a notorious critical and commercial flop. Yet it does have one feature of interest, and that is that most of the scenes involving Arnie as Lord Kalidor, which were added during production, were written by Fraser. He wrote that he was recruited by uber-producer Dino de Laurentiis to write the screenplay for a remake of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, to be directed by none other than Federico Fellini after Richard Lester turned down the project. It soon transpired that de Laurentiis had (perhaps deliberately) overstated Fellini's potential interest in the project. The film might be made as a musical, it was suggested – with silent underwater explosions. Fraser remained on the payroll in Rome to act as a well-paid script doctor on Red Sonja instead. 'Schwarzenegger himself was impressive,' Fraser would write, 'not only by reason of his extraordinary physique, but because he was a great deal cleverer than a Mr Universe has any right to be.' When the film finally opened, he was blasé about its reception. 'Barry Norman was kind enough to say that the other writer [the prolific British screenwriter Clive Exton] and I had been unlucky in that mice must have got at the script, but in fact it was all our untampered work.' The Return of the Musketeers (1989) It was death that sped Fraser's career as a Hollywood screenwriter to its end, although not his own. His final credit came on his reunion with Lester and the Musketeers cast in the ill-fated 1989 sequel The Return of the Musketeers, based on Dumas' sequel Twenty Years After. During filming, Roy Kinnear fell off his horse and died of his resulting internal injuries, which not only destroyed the mood on set but also led to significant rewriting and the necessity of hiring a voice-over artist to replace Kinnear; Fraser suggests that the impressionist Rory Bremner was one of those mooted. When the film came out, the reviews, no doubt influenced by the production problems, were damning. As Fraser observed: 'The aftermath of recrimination and litigation was no encouragement to the viewing public.'
