We Were Liars Trailer: Emily Alyn Lind Seeks Truth In Bloody Mystery On Beechwood Island
Last Updated: In We Were Liars, Emily Alyn Lind returns to her family's island to uncover a bloody secret she can't remember. The secrets of Beechwood Island are beginning to surface. Prime Video dropped the trailer for We Were Liars, the highly anticipated adaptation of E. Lockhart's bestselling novel, and it teases a haunting tale of memory, love, and betrayal. Set against the backdrop of a seemingly perfect summer, the trailer introduces us to Cadence Sinclair (Emily Alyn Lind), the golden girl of the Sinclair family, who returns to her family's exclusive New England island retreat with no memory of the previous summer — and a desperate need to uncover what really happened. 'Some people call us American royalty," Cadence says in a voiceover as the trailer opens with scenic shots of beach bonfires and sailing. She reminisces about her tight-knit group of friends, dubbed 'the Liars": Mirren (Esther McGregor), Johnny (Joseph Zada), and Gat (Shubham Maheshwari). But the serene summer facade is soon shattered. 'We were happy, we wanted for nothing. But something terrible happened last summer. And I have no memory of what — or who — hurt me," she says. Returning to the island with dyed-black hair and emotional scars, Cadence hopes the familiar surroundings will spark her memory. Her mother (Caitlin FitzGerald) confides in her sister Carrie (Mamie Gummer), 'She's hoping that being here will jog her memory." As Cadence reconnects with the Liars — and the memory of her intense summer romance with Gat — buried secrets slowly unravel. She begins to question whether her closest friends are hiding something dark. 'I need to see if all the lies lead to me, on that beach, alone," she reflects. Hints of danger emerge, particularly around Johnny, whose mother warns him sternly, 'You cannot tell anyone, do you understand me?" With haunting imagery and suspenseful reveals, the trailer ends with Cadence's chilling words: 'Not every fable ends happily. Some stories have no hero at all. Sometimes, the castle crumbles." The limited series stars Emily Alyn Lind, Shubham Maheshwari, Esther McGregor, Joseph Zada, Caitlin FitzGerald, Mamie Gummer, Candice King, Rahul Kohli, and David Morse.

Krunal Pandya spills beans about conversation with brother Hardik after RCBs maiden IPL triumph
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 4 (ANI): Krunal Pandya, who was named Player of the Match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 18th edition final against Punjab Kings, revealed that he called his brother Hardik after the game and cited that the Pandya household has nine IPL trophies in 11 years. Krunal, who Bengaluru acquired for ₹ 5.75 crore, unleashed every weapon from his fully-loaded arsenal in the high-stakes final and left the spectators spellbound and returning with figures of 2/17 in his four-over spell. He single-handedly broke the backbone of Punjab's attempt to hunt down the 191-run target and steered Bengaluru to a six-run triumph and RCB's first IPL trophy victory. While receiving the Player of the Match award, Krunal spilt the beans about the conversations he had with his brother Hardik and reminded him about the number of IPL titles they have had in the last decade. "When I joined RCB, I said that I loved winning trophies. After three and a half months, glad I was able to fulfil what I said on Day 1. Been pretty good - 10 years, 4 IPL trophies. I also told Hardik on the phone that there will be 9 IPL trophies in the Pandya household in 11 years," Krunal said in the post-match presentation. In his memorable outing, Krunal returned with the priceless scalps of Prabhsimran Singh (26) and Josh Inglis (39) to derail Punjab's attempts to chase the target. The trick behind Krunal's success was deceiving the batters by varying his pace and having the "guts" to execute it because it leaves the bowler with no margin of error. "When we batted in the first innings, I was sitting outside and chatting with the batters. I realised the slower you bowl, the better. But in this format, as a bowler, you need guts to do that because the margin of error is small," he said. "I just backed myself and thought that if I'm able to vary my pace and keep it more on the slower side, I'll create chances rather than just coming and firing it in. What has been my biggest strength is learning what the situation requires. I've always backed my gut and instinct," he awith 25 scalps in 15 matches at an average of 19.52, best figures of 4/41. dded. (ANI)
