Scarlett Johansson Is a Dinosaur-Fighting Badass in Latest ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth' Trailer
Scarlett Johansson shows off her dinosaur-fighting moves in the latest trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth. The movie marks the seventh installment of the popular film franchise and is set five years after the events of 2022's Jurassic World: Dominion.
As covert operation expert Zora Bennett, Johansson leads a team comprised of combat expert Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali) and paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) on a top-secret mission to a remote island where the few surviving dinosaur species inhabit the land. The island is also the site of the research facility from the original Jurassic Park. 'The theme park owners did experimental work, leaving only the worst ones here,' Bennett says in the trailer.

Bennett and her team aren't wading into dangerous, uncharted territory for the thrill of fighting giant reptiles; they're after the creatures' DNA, which holds vital biomaterials that would aid in making a revolutionary drug. In the trailer, Dr. Henry Loomis holds up a giant dinosaur egg and says, 'If we get this DNA, millions of lives are saved.'
But nothing about the mission will be quick or easy. To make matters even worse, Bennett and her crew encounter the Delgados, a civilian family on a boating expedition near the island.
At one point, Dr. Loomis says, 'We put ourselves in a place where we don't belong. Survival is a long shot,' before Bennett takes it as a challenge. 'That's kind of our speciality,' she responds.
Bennett, her team, and the family face off against several roaring dinosaurs through dark forests. They almost capsize their boat as they try to outrun a Mosasaurus. At one point, Bennett even uses herself as bait so the others can escape safely.
Directed by Gareth Edwards, Jurassic World Rebirth will hit theaters on July 2. David Koepp wrote the script, and Steven Spielberg executive-produced.

Millennial Man Rediscovers 2008 Photos—No One Prepared for What They Show
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A man has gone viral for showcasing his teenage years when he had first discovered the powers of Photoshop. Calvin Bremer, 36, from St. Louis, Missouri, was in his late teens in 2008, when Myspace, Lady Gaga and emo fashion ruled the teenage online world. And when he found Photoshop, which allowed him to edit his own selfies, he told Newsweek that he was "having the time of my life." "I always had a fascination with art and creating things," Bremer said, and with the photo-editing software "my imagination could do anything, so I taught myself graphic design before I even went to college for it." For years, Bremer had kept the photos he created—and when he stumbled upon Reddit sub u/blunderyears, in which people share embarrassing photos of their childhood or teenage selves, he knew he had the perfect thing to post. In a post shared on June 11, which racked up more than 71,000 upvotes, Bremer shared a series of photographs, the first showing his teenage self sharing a kiss with pop star Britney Spears.

Other edited snaps show him posing with the lyrics to Lady Gaga's classic song "Poker Face" decorating the background, wearing Pikachu merchandise, and playing a guitar—which he admitted in a caption he does not "even know how to play." Reddit users loved it, with one calling it "such a flashback," and another praising it as "quality blunder material." "I bet your Myspace page was awesome, though," one commented, as another added: "This is some of the best late 2000s cringe I've ever seen. This is some blunder years." And as one person put it: "It's a testament to just how cringey we millennials were that the amount of quality content on this subreddit seems to be neverending." From left: Bremer appears on the front cover of "Rolling Stone" magazine, and pretends to play the guitar.

Reddit u/gucci-milk Bremen said that he never imagined his post would have the reaction it did. "It made me smile seeing everyone cringe, laugh, and relate in unison. The days of Myspace and millennials running the internet is truly funny to look back on!" Launched in 2003, social-media network Myspace peaked in 2008 with 115 million users. However, it was soon overtaken by Facebook in terms of unique visitors, according to data from Statista, and was unable to recover. And as for whether his early adoption of Photoshop helped his career, Bremer said that his job role is "not fully graphic design-based, but I still use Photoshop and other Adobe programs a lot in my job."

Sabrina Carpenter responds to scandal over being 'scrutinized' for racy songs, album cover
Sabrina Carpenter responds to scandal over being 'scrutinized' for racy songs, album cover Show Caption Hide Caption Met Gala: Sabrina Carpenter wears bodysuit Sabrina Carpenter is giving "espresso" as she wears a stunning pinstripe bodysuit to the Met Gala red carpet. Sabrina Carpenter is talking fame, her evolving artistry and criticism ahead of the release of her new (and already controversial) album, "Man's Best Friend." The pop hitmaker, known for her suggestive lyrics, dismissed scrutiny over expressing her sexuality in a new cover story with Rolling Stone published June 12, arguing that the attention around her racy songs says more about the audience than about her. "It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' But those are the songs that you've made popular," she told the outlet. "Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it." Although the "Espresso" singer confidently brushed off the criticism, she still shared dismay over the constant backlash women in music face today. "I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinized in every capacity," she later added. "I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now." Sabrina Carpenter sparks controversy with provocative 'Man's Best Friend' album cover Sabrina Carpenter talks single life amid rumored Barry Koeghan split Elsewhere in the interview, Carpenter stayed coy about her dating life, neither explicitly confirming nor denying being single. "Am I doing the single thing right now?" she said. "I'm doing the 25-year-old thing right now, whatever that means," the now 26-year-old continued. Along with "Man's Best Friend," Carpenter released her latest single, "Manchild," this month. The music video for the synth-pop track drew buzz on social media for Carpenter's bold look, which consisted of a white button-up, baby blue heels and denim "micro" shorts, as well as intrigue over who the lyrics might be about. Some fans suggested Barry Koeghan, who was previously romantically linked to the singer. Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé in these 10 bingeable memoirs Asked by Rolling Stone which ex the song is about, though, Carpenter quipped: "It's about your dad." She did however address the pressure that women are under while dating in the spotlight, lamenting the often one-sided scrutiny that seems reserved just for women. "People underestimate how tricky it is to navigate being a young woman, having relationships, and then having a bunch of strangers have opinions on them," she said. "If they had the same microscope on their personal lives, I don't think they'd be as eloquently spoken as me. I know it's a tale as old as time. It's just unfortunate that it's still a tale."

Funk-rock music pioneer, frontman of revolutionary band dies at 82
Sly Stone, the frontman of the revolutionary band Sly and the Family Stone, has died following several health issues. He was 82. 'It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone,' his family said in a statement, according to PEOPLE. 'After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family,' the statement continued. 'While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come.' Born March 15, 1943, in Denton, Texas, Stone helped pioneer the emerging psychedelic soul movement in the 1960s and '70s with his genre-blending group. Sly and the Family Stone is considered rock's first group to incorporate the sounds of funk, soul, R&B, rock and psychedelic music. 'James Brown may have invented funk, but Sly Stone perfected it,' AllMusic wrote. 'His alchemical fusion of soul, rock, gospel, and psychedelia rejected stylistic boundaries as much as his explosive backing band the Family Stone ignored racial and gender restrictions, creating a series of euphoric yet politically charged records that proved a massive influence on artists of all musical and cultural backgrounds.' Sly and the Family Stone is also considered the first major American rock group to have a racially integrated, mixed-gender lineup. Originally formed in 1966, the group's core lineup consisted of Stone alongside his brother, Freddie Stone, sister Rose Stone, Cynthia Robinson, Greg Errico, Jerry Martini and Larry Graham. Sly and the Family Stone racked up more than a dozen songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including five top 10 hits. The group's three No. 1 hits are 'Everyday People,' 'Family Affair' and 'Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)'/'Everybody Is a Star.' The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 and were ranked 43rd on Rolling Stone's list of the '100 Greatest Artists of All Time' in 2010. Three of the group's albums — 'Stand,' 'There's a Riot Goin' On' and 'Greatest Hits' — were also included on Rolling Stone's most recent list of the '500 Greatest Albums of All Time.' Despite Sly and the Family Stone fizzling out by 1975, Stone continued to record and tour with a new rotating lineup. He released his debut solo album 'High on You' that same year. Stone remained active in the industry until drug problems forced his effective retirement in 1987. His final solo album, 'I'm Back! Family & Friends,' was released in 2011.
