Jenna Ortega And The Weeknd Hurry Up Tomorrow Reactions
Jenna Ortega and Abel Tesfaye, aka "The Weeknd," are in a film called Hurry Up Tomorrow, and the reaction is a bit surprising.
So, the film is technically a companion to The Weeknd's sixth studio album, which has the same name.
In the movie, he plays a fictional version of himself who gets caught up with this mysterious woman named Anima (Jenna).
The movie also stars Barry Keoghan as his manager and friend, Lee.
When a scene featuring Abel and Jenna went viral, people really had a lot to say about it.
Perhaps Abel's last adventure into dramatic acting with The Idol rubbed people the wrong way, because all it took was for one scene to go viral on the internet, and now everybody's dragging the movie.
As of writing this, Hurry Up Tomorrow had a shocking 15% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Jordan Hoffman of Entertainment Weekly said, "The nearly plot-free movie is self-indulgent, overly serious, and, worst of all, just plain dull."Maria Sherman of the Associated Press said the movie was "An exciting vanity project with surrealist imagiation but stiff writing, no stakes, limited emotional weight and an unclear narrative."
While the Audience Score for Rotten Tomatoes wasn't too bad, based on the internet reactions, people seem to be mostly siding with the critics.
One person said, "Hurry Up Tomorrow one of those ones where my interest increases the worse the reviews get."
"One of the worst vanity projects I have ever seen. Could not believe my eyes at the ridiculous shit in this movie," somoene wrote.
But according to this person, the third act is basically "a full on ad for The Weeknd's music," so that sounds like a win because his music is undeniably good.
This person did come to the defense of the movie, writing, "We need to get rid of movie critics because it ruins the vision of the movie. Movies are made because its a form of art not because its getting graded. If The Room got 24% on rotten tomatoes the Hurry Up Tomorrow minimum should get that."
Another person said, "I love HURRY UP TOMORROW for all the wrong reason. A beautifully crafted experimental art piece with gorgeous cinematography, a half-baked plot, and an atrocious lead performance, #HurryUpTomorrow is so film school coded that it almost made me feel nostalgic."
Another fan wrote, "What a beautiful experience this movie was!! Loved the raw and natural emotions displayed by the cast. The concept was very smart, loved the visuals & Jenna was brilliant! Phenomenal movie by Abel for his fans, this is a must watch especially if you're a fan."
So, perhaps to fully appreciate the movie, you have to be a fan of The Weeknd and understand the lore of his music? If not, you're in for a bumpy ride.

Katy Perry reacts as fan storms stage during concert: 'What the hell is going on?!'
A fan really didn't want to go-oh after storming the stage during a recent Katy Perry concert. When Perry was performing her hit song "Hot N Cold" at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, on Monday night, a fan rushed onto the stage to dance next to her. The singer appeared visibly shocked in a fan video posted to social media as the man put his arm around her and began jumping up and down. After freezing for a second, Perry spun around to create distance from the man as she kept singing the lyrics to "Hot N Cold." The stage crasher then began to perform the floss dance move before security rushed onstage to escort him off. As the man resisted, Perry said into the microphone, "Well, there's never going to be another show like it, so just enjoy it, Sydney." She sang a few more lyrics before shouting into the mic, "What the hell is going on?!" This is just the latest concert mishap for the singer throughout her tour, after she nearly suffered a major wardrobe malfunction while performing at the Las Vegas stop when the clasp on her bejeweled brassiere appeared to break. "Oh s‑‑‑, my bra's gonna come off," Perry said to the crowd. Eventually, she called to an assistant in the wings named Patrick to "put my bra back on." Last month, Perry abruptly stopped performing midsong at her Houston stop to call out the haters on social media who had been making fun of the way she over-enunciated her words in her 2008 ballad "Thinking of You." As fans in the crowd sang the song's lyrics at her during a break, Perry looked directly at them captured in videos posted to TikTok. "I'm not going to do it," she said. But then she launched directly into the second verse of "Thinking of You," which recently went viral on TikTok as users filmed themselves lip-synching, "You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter, like a hard candy with a surprise center," while making exaggerated, hilarious facial expressions. During the concert, Perry sang those exact lines, complete with exaggerated facial expressions of her own. But she cut it off after the words "candy with a" to declare to the crowd, "I don't sing like that."Perry is currently on the Australian leg of her Lifetimes World Tour, during which she has been performing the music from her seventh studio album, 143, since April. The tour will conclude Dec. 7 in the United Arab Emirates. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Is ‘Dept. Q' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 10, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated June 10, 2025, 11:24 IST Netflix's gripping crime thriller Dept. Q has captivated audiences since its debut on May 29, 2025. With its intense plot, stellar cast, and atmospheric Edinburgh setting, fans are eagerly asking: Is Dept. Q Season 2 happening? Here's everything we know so far. Overview of Dept. Q Season 1 Dept. Q , based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's bestselling Danish novel series, follows Detective Chief Inspector Carl Morck (Matthew Goode), a brilliant but troubled detective tasked with leading a cold case unit in Edinburgh. After a traumatic shooting that left one officer dead and his partner, James Hardy (Jamie Sives), paralyzed, Morck is relegated to the basement to head Dept. Q—a unit initially set up as a PR stunt. Alongside his team, including Syrian former cop Akram (Alexej Manvelov) and cadet Rose (Leah Byrne), Morck tackles the mysterious disappearance of prosecutor Merritt Lingard (Chloe Pirrie). The nine-episode season, created by Scott Frank ( The Queen's Gambit ), has earned praise for its compelling narrative and strong performances, boasting an 8.3/10 on IMDb and 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. Has Dept. Q Been Renewed for Season 2? As of June 10, 2025, Netflix has not officially confirmed a second season for Dept. Q . However, there are strong indicators that a renewal is likely. The show's positive reception, coupled with its rapid rise to Netflix's Top 10 in 72 countries, suggests it has garnered significant viewership. Creator Scott Frank and lead actor Matthew Goode have both expressed enthusiasm for continuing the series, and the wealth of source material—Adler-Olsen's 10-book series—provides ample content for future seasons. Release Date Speculation for Dept. Q Season 2 Without an official renewal, no release date has been confirmed. However, based on Season 1's production timeline—filming began in early 2024 and premiered in mid-2025—a similar schedule could see Season 2 arrive in late 2026 or early 2027. If production starts in early 2026, a premiere between September 2026 and March 2027 is a plausible option. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Thunderbolts*' Wyatt Russell Mistaken For Lookalike in LA Protest Video
Wyatt Russell, son of actors Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, was mistakenly identified in a viral video of an anti-ICE protests in LA. The clip captured a heated exchange during anti-ICE demonstrations and quickly drew attention across social media. It prompted widespread speculations about the identity of the man. A video from the recent anti-ICE protests in LA caused confusion online after viewers wrongly identified actor Wyatt Russell as the man confronting authorities in the clip. The clip, which shows a person delivering a passionate speech to armed authorities during the demonstrations, led many online to believe it was the Thunderbolts actor. However, Russell's representative confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that the person in the footage is not him and that they've been working to correct the confusion. The person seen in the video is actually Aaron Fisher, a partner at Statecraft Media, a digital media firm that supports progressive political campaigns. In the video, Fisher is seen confronting officers, accusing them of following unconstitutional orders. He warns them they are 'on the wrong side of history.' Fisher also added, 'We know you got a job to do, but you took an oath to the Constitution, not to the fascists in the White House.' Speaking about the mixup, Fisher said he found it 'pretty humorous' and was glad that the attention helped spread the message of the protest. He said, 'The deployment of the National Guard against the wishes of our Governor is dangerously un-American, and I will continue to peacefully protest in my community.' The protests started after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted raids in Latino neighborhoods of Los Angeles, including a clothing warehouse downtown. Demonstrations reportedly escalated over the weekend and into Monday, especially after President Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops to the city. Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on ComingSoon. The post Thunderbolts*' Wyatt Russell Mistaken For Lookalike in LA Protest Video appeared first on Mandatory.
