In the action-comedy The Pickup, a routine cash pickup takes a wild turn when two mismatched armored truck drivers, Russell (Eddie Murphy) and Travis (Pete Davidson), are ambushed by ruthless criminals led by a savvy mastermind, Zoe (Keke Palmer), with plans that go way beyond the cash cargo. As chaos unfolds around them, the unlikely duo must navigate high-risk danger, clashing personalities, and one very bad day that keeps getting worse.
The trailer highlights the generational and personality clash between Murphy's gruff, experienced Russell and Davidson's awkward, inexperienced Travis. Their banter and bickering provide much of the film's comedic energy, reminiscent of classic buddy comedies but with a fresh twist
The Pickup, is written by Kevin Burrows & Matt Mider, while it is produced by John Davis, John Fox, Eddie Murphy, Tim Story, and Charisse Hewitt-Webster.

Steven Universe sequel Lars of the Stars in development with Prime Video
It's been five long years since fans said goodbye to Steven Universe, but the magic clearly isn't over yet. The animated universe that gave us gems, fusion and unforgettable soundtracks is set to expand this time, with a twist no one saw coming. Enter Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars, a spin-off show that takes the spotlight away from Steven and hands it over to Lars Barriga. The pink-haired space pirate (and former donut boy) is now front and centre of his very own adventure. The new series is reportedly being developed at Prime Video, making it the first Steven Universe project not to premiere on Cartoon Network. The announcement was made at the prestigious Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where creator Rebecca Sugar shared the news in her signature style-right after a live performance of an original song she wrote for Adventure Time, reported The Hollywood Reporter (THR). According to the official logline, the upcoming series will follow Lars as an 'eternal teenager and space outlaw' leading a ragtag pirate crew. Their adventures involve smuggling contraband, dodging galactic law and uncovering 'the darkest secrets of the fallen Gem Empire.' It sounds like a far cry from Beach City's slice-of-life episodes, but if the original show taught us anything, it's that Rebecca Sugar doesn't do boring. Ian Jones-Quartey, supervising director of the original, joins Sugar as an executive producer, with Cartoon Network Studios backing the project. Although it hasn't officially gone to series yet, the buzz at Annecy and the platform shift to Prime Video indicate that Lars' journey through the stars is very much in motion. It wasn't just Steven Universe making headlines. Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe brought the goods. Among the biggest reveals? Adventure Time: Side Quests, a new spin-off diving into more of Finn's earlier solo adventures. Meanwhile, Teen Titans Go! received a Season 10 renewal, continuing its reign as the longest-running DC animated show. Also spotted: new visuals for Foster's Funtime for Imaginary Friends, the preschool reboot of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends; The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, a Hulu revival of The Amazing World of Gumball; and SuperMutant Magical Academy, the Adult Swim adaptation of Jillian Tamaki's cult webcomic. Yes, Steven Universe was widely praised for its LGBTQ+ representation, including characters like Garnet (a fusion of two female-presenting gems in a romantic relationship), and for addressing gender identity and non-traditional family dynamics. The story reached its intended conclusion with Steven Universe Future, which served as an epilogue to the original series. Creator Rebecca Sugar said it was the right time to let the characters rest and give the story closure. Yes, though Steven Universe explores complex emotional and social themes, it remains kid-friendly. While Steven was never given a specific medical diagnosis in Steven Universe Future, the show strongly suggests that he is dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
