In new A24 movie 'Eternity,' Elizabeth Olsen must choose between 2 dead husbands

Yahoo6 days ago
When you die, should you spend eternity with your first husband or your last? That's the question at the center of 'Eternity' — watch the trailer now.
Picture this: You die and get to choose how you want to spend forever — which includes your one true love. Sounds pretty sweet, right? Unfortunately, in the case of the new A24 movie Eternity, which dropped its first trailer on Tuesday, the sweet hereafter comes with a catch: You have two dead husbands, and they're both vying for a spot next to you in the afterlife. Eep!
Eternity stars Elizabeth Olsen as Joan, the woman in question, who dies shortly after the death of her second husband, Larry, played by Miles Teller. But while Teller's character is eager to get a jump on the rest of their immortal lives, his wife's first husband, Luke, played by The Boys in the Boat actor Callum Turner, appears. Apparently, Luke died in 'the war' decades earlier — and he's been waiting for his wife to arrive to kickstart his own eternity ever since.
So, how do you pick?! While the movie will, we hope, answer that question, people who watched the new trailer offered their thoughts in the YouTube comments. Some people thought the ending was reminiscent of Titanic, in which Rose (played by Kate Winslet) seemingly spends the afterlife with her pals on the sunken ship, and her lover-of-two-days Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) instead of the husband she spent more than 40 years raising a family with.
Most people, however, saw Joan picking second husband, Larry, in the end.
'Prediction: Miles Teller wins his wife by giving her his blessing to choose Callum Turner instead of him, because he just wants his wife to be happy and her new husband turns out to be too selfish to do the same, proving Miles Teller cares more about Elizabeth Olsen and that she should pick him,' one wrote.
Another said, 'Not me immediately wanting to cry just thinking about how hard it is going to be for her to choose...immediately followed by me thinking, 'Can't all three of them just be together for eternity?''
The idea that Olsen's character may not need to choose resonated with another viewer, who wrote, 'I hope Elizabeth Olsen makes a world for all three of them.'
And another joked, 'OMG imagine dying and realizing that compulsory monogamy exists even in the afterlife.'
While a throuple is certainly a possibility, Teller's character doesn't believe that it's the best route. When he sees how his wife's former spouse is laying on the romance, he vows to make her remember why she fell for him in the first place. But will it be enough to get to spend eternity with his one true love?
Eternity is directed by David Freyne and will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Freyne is credited as cowriter of the film along with former Obama White House aide Patrick Cunnane, whose original script appeared on the 2022 Black List of Hollywood's best unproduced screenplays.
Eternity is set to hit theaters in November. Check out the trailer below:

The Making of HBO Doc ‘The Yogurt Shop Murders' Was So Traumatic That A24 Paid for Film Team's Therapy

The brutal rape and murder of four teenage girls at an Austin, Texas frozen yogurt shop is the subject of Margaret Brown's HBO docuseries 'The Yogurt Shop Murders.' The 1991 slayings of Amy Ayers, sisters Jennifer Harbison and Sarah Harbison, and Eliza Thomas mystified police, haunted the victim's families, and eventually became 'part of the fabric of Austin,' according to Brown. More from Variety Yance Ford Named Visiting Artistic Director of True/False Documentary Fest (EXCLUSIVE) Kenny Loggins Says Making a Doc About His Life and Career Was a 'Version of Therapy' Music Box Films Acquires U.S. TVOD Rights to 'Secret Mall Apartment' Documentary (EXCLUSIVE) 'It's something you can't really get away from in Austin,' said Brown. Although Brown ('Descendant') knew about the crime, the idea for a four-part docuseries came from Emma Stone and her husband Dave McCary, who used to live in Austin. The couple brought the docuseries to A24 to produce. Brown spent over three years interviewing the crime's investigative teams and the victims' parents and siblings. The director and her producing team also tracked down interrogation room footage of four teenaged boys who served time for the crime. In addition, Brown interviewed '48 Hours' correspondent Erin Moriarty, who covered the case, and documentary filmmaker Claire Huie, who attempted to make a film about the murders. Huie's abandoned footage, which is featured throughout 'The Yogurt Shop Murders,' included Interviews with the victim's family members, detectives and Robert Springsteen, one of the men who sat on death row for the crime after falsely confessing to participating in the widely publicized killings. Variety spoke with Brown about 'The Yogurt Shop Murders' ahead of the series' Aug. 3 release on HBO. One thousand percent yes. I was terrified. I didn't really know what I was getting into, to be honest. I thought, 'Oh, I've made films about deep trauma before.' I mean, a lot of my films are about horrible things that happen to people, but I wasn't really prepared for the unresolved rape and murder of teenage girls, and the effect it continues to have on (the victim's) families. I wasn't aware of the emotional weight of sitting in the rooms with (the family members) for hours at a time would have on me. Then I thought, if I'm having a hard time, just imagine what they are going through. It was just like a loop in my head. No. I knew from living in Austin and having a lot of friends who are reporters who were utterly obsessed with this case and its twists and turns that it would work. That footage was a gift. It would have been a different film without it. Claire is an incredible filmmaker, but making the film she was trying to make made her stop being a filmmaker. It consumed her, and she had to quit. Now she's a meditation teacher. Oh yeah, but he declined. When the project came to me, I asked what the (archival) footage they had, and so they sent me all this footage. It was like a David Lynch movie as a documentary. It was like 'Twin Peaks.' There was a kind of eeriness to it. I could hear the soundtrack in my head, and I had this whole idea of how I would make the series. Then I met the families, and it was like, 'Oh. I can't make it like that. I can still employ some of it, but it can't be that stylized.' It would have been a disservice to make it overly stylized. Those photos are so bad. My editorial team was like, 'You can never look at them.' They were all so traumatized by the photos. I've seen some of them, but not all of them, because (the editorial team) said, 'They will haunt you for the rest of your life.' A24 paid for some of (the film team's) therapy because it is really hard on the system if you take it in, and it's really hard not to take it in. It was hard to live in that darkness for such a long time. It was just really hard for us to make it because it was just so dark, but we thought that the right way to make the series was to look at that. Because everyone has darkness in their life, and everyone deals with trauma. This case is a pretty extreme case of people dealing with trauma, but I felt like there was something instructive about it. Each family dealt with the trauma in really different ways, and I found that fascinating.

Elon Musk says he's bringing back Vine's archive

Elon Musk says he's bringing back Vine — sort of. The X owner announced over the weekend that the company discovered the video archive for the popular short-form video app, thought to have been deleted, and is working to restore user access. Vine — something of a precursor to today's TikTok, but with only six-second-long looping videos — was acquired by Twitter back in October 2012 for $30 million to expand the social media platform's video ambitions. Unfortunately for Vine creators and fans, the company fumbled the app's potential and decided to shut down Vine in 2016 by limiting all new uploads. The following year, it was fully discontinued, though a user archive remained for a time. Despite no longer having an App Store presence, Vine still has a place in the internet's collective cultural consciousness. Through online compilations of the best Vines uploaded to YouTube, and through the careers of numerous creators who got their start on Vine, the company lives on to some extent, and its content continues to be discovered by new generations. Musk himself seemed interested in bringing back Vine after acquiring Twitter in October 2022. In a poll posted on the social media app, he asked Twitter's users, 'Bring back Vine?' to which nearly 70% responded 'yes.' Axios reported at the time that Twitter had devoted some engineers to working on the Vine reboot, but nothing ever came of it. It's unclear whether Musk has any ambitions for Vine beyond getting its archive back online, however. In the same post about restoring Vine, he also touted that Grok's new video-creation feature, Grok Imagine, also available to X Premium+ subscribers, is 'AI Vine.' That suggests that his interests in video creation no longer lie with human creativity, but in human-directed AI prompting. Whether or not Musk will actually deliver on the promise remains to be seen, as the X post could have just been another way to draw attention to Grok AI, rather than being representative of a real effort inside the company to make old Vines available for reposting.
