Love Me — a futuristic sci-fi romantic drama starring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun — is coming soon to streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime.
Love Me premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival before opening in limited release in theaters on Jan. 31. The film stars Stewart as Me/Deja and Yeun as Iam/Liam.
The official synopsis for Love Me reads, 'A buoy and a satellite meet online long after humanity's extinction. As they learn what life was like on Earth, they discover themselves and what it means to be alive and in love.'
Rated R, Love Me is written and directed by Andrew Zuchero and Sam Zuchero.
Paramount+ with Showtime announced on Monday that Love Me will be premiering on streaming video on demand on the platform on Monday, June 16.
The film was previously released on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Feb. 18.
For viewers who don't have Paramount+ with Showtime, the platform offers an ad-free subscription for $12.99 per month or $119.99 per year.
In addition to the release of Love Me, Kristen Stewart recently appeared at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival for the world premiere of her feature directorial debut, the drama The Chronology of Water.
The official summary of The Chronology of Water reads, 'Brought up in an environment torn apart by violence and alcohol, Lidia Yuknavitch (Imogen Poots) seemed destined for self-destruction and failure until words offered her unexpected freedom in the form of literature.'
The Chronology of Water also stars Thora Birch, Jim Belushi and Tom Sturridge.
Stewart's film opened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on Friday. Per Deadline, the film received a six and a half minute standing ovation after the film's debut for the film's attendees.
The film took eight years to get to the big screen. Speaking to the Cannes crowd, Stewart said (via Deadline) that The Chronology of Water 'is about birth, death and rebirth, and we sort of followed that cycle. I think you can feel it in the result. At the time, it hurt a lot. The biggest wound of my 'creative' life so far. And by far my favorite scar.'
Stewart is also currently at work on the upcoming series The Challenger, where she plays iconic astronaut Sally Ride.
Love Me, starring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, debuts on Paramount+ with Showtime on June 16.

Unity CTO Steve Collins steps down after six months
Steve Collins, the CTO of the game engine developer Unity, is stepping down, a company representative confirmed to TechCrunch. He joined Unity just six months ago after serving as CTO of King, the mobile gaming company behind Candy Crush. According to Unity, Collins made the decision to leave the company of his own accord. 'We can confirm that Steve Collins has decided to leave Unity for personal reasons,' a company representative said. 'We're grateful for his contributions. As we continue our transformation, we're confident our world-class tech team will keep driving the strategy forward.' Unity has faced much internal strife over the last few years. In fall 2023, the company announced controversial changes to its pricing model that enraged the developer community. Though some of these changes were walked back, the company's CEO John Riccitiello resigned as a result. Months later, Unity laid off 25% of its staff, amounting to 1800 jobs. Though Unity now has some distance from those events, some game developers remain distrusting of the company. Collins' departure is not necessarily related to the Unity's struggles, but another executive shakeup could prove disruptive.

Smoking Weed and Eating Edibles Share This Surprising Health Risk
A new study has found a startling link between chronic cannabis use and increased risk of cardiovascular disease—regardless of whether you smoke it or consume edibles. The finding challenges commonly held beliefs about the health impacts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which many see as a relatively harmless drug—especially when ingested. The study, published Wednesday, May 28 in the journal JAMA Cardiology, found that THC smokers suffer from significantly worse artery function than non-users. They observed the same effect in edible consumers, though their arteries were not as severely affected. In either case, vascular function was reduced by roughly half compared to those who do not use cannabis, according to a statement from the University of California, San Francisco. 'Scientifically, this THC result is really interesting but boy does it screw up the public health messaging,'' co-author Matt Springer, a cardiovascular researcher at UCSF, reportedly said to lead author and UCSF physician-scientist Leila Mohammadi when he saw the data. These results add to a growing body of evidence that suggests long-term weed use can lead to cardiovascular damage and life-threatening events such as heart attacks and strokes, though experts still lack consensus on its precise impacts. A 2024 study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that people who consume cannabis daily had a 25% increased risk of heart attack and a 42% increased risk of stroke compared to non-users. For this new study, researchers investigated how cannabis impacts vascular function. To isolate the effects of chronic cannabis use, they recruited 55 otherwise healthy adults aged 18 to 50 who did not use any form of nicotine and were not frequently exposed to secondhand smoke. These participants were sorted into three groups: marijuana smokers, edible users, and non-users. Those in the two cannabis user groups reported taking the drug at least three times per week, either exclusively through smoking or edibles. To assess the participants' vascular function, the researchers measured dilation of the brachial artery—located in the upper arm—to determine whether it could properly expand in response to increased blood flow. To that end, they used an inflatable forearm cuff to briefly block blood flow to the artery, then used ultrasound to measure its diameter before and after inflating the cuff. Matt Springer, a cardiovascular researcher at UCSF whose lab led the study, told Live Science that his test offers a 'window into the future.' When blood vessels cannot fully dilate, he said, the risk of heart attack and other poor cardiovascular outcomes increases. Participants who did not consume cannabis showed an average vessel dilation—represented as the percent change from the baseline measurement of artery diameter—of 10.4%. This value was significantly reduced among weed smokers and edible users, who showed an average vessel dilation of 6.0% and 4.6%, respectively. For reference, average values for brachial artery dilation in healthy individuals typically range from 8.0% to 15%. In a previous study, Springer's lab found similarly reduced levels of vessel dilation among e-cigarette and cigarette smokers. To better understand how THC causes this change, the researchers ran lab tests to determine how endothelial cells—which form the linings of blood vessels and release nitric oxide to trigger dilation—responded to the participants' blood samples. These tests revealed that the blood of chronic cannabis smokers inhibited nitric oxide production in the cells, which may explain why these participants showed reduced vessel dilation. This effect was not observed in edible consumers, however, suggesting that ingestible THC may impact arterial function via an entirely separate mechanism. Figuring out what that mechanism may be will require further research. What's more, subsequent studies will need to reproduce these findings in a larger population to validate the results. Within the last several years, cannabis use among U.S. adults has reached new heights, according to the NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse. As such, investigating the health effects of THC is more important than ever before—especially as mounting evidence challenges perceptions of weed as a harmless high.

Snap launches Lens Studio iOS and web apps for creating AR Lenses with AI and simple tools
Snap has launched a standalone Lens Studio iOS app and web tool, the company announced on Wednesday. The new tools are designed to make it easier for anyone to create AR Lenses through text prompts and simple editing tools. With the Lens Studio app, users will be able to do things like generate their own AI effects, add their Bitmoji, and browse trending templates to create customized Lenses. Up until now, Lens Studio has only been accessible via a desktop application for professional developers. While the desktop application will remain the primary tool for professionals, Snap says that the new iOS app and web tool are designed to allow people at all skill levels to create Lenses. Image Credits:Snap 'These are experimental new tools that make it easier than ever to create, publish, and play with Snapchat Lenses made by you,' Snap wrote in a blog post. 'Now, you can generate your own AI effects, add your dancing Bitmoji to the fun, and express yourself with Lenses that reflect your mood or an inside joke–whether you're on the go or near your computer.' While Snap currently has an ecosystem of over 400,000 professional AR developers, the company is looking to attract more people who are interested in creating Lenses with the launch of these simpler tools. Snap is considered a leader in AR thanks to its early adoption of the technology through its AR filters and Lenses, and it's clear the company is committed to investing in the space, even as others may be retracting from it. Last year, Meta angered creators after it decided to shut down its Spark AR platform, which allowed third parties to build augmented reality (AR) effects. By opening up access to AR creation, Snap is doubling down on its vision for the technology. As Snap is bringing AR creation into the hands of more people, the company is also rolling out advanced tools for professionals. Yesterday, Snap released new Lens Studio tools that AR creators and developers can use to build Bitmoji games. The tools include a turn-based system to enable back-and-forth gameplay, a new customizable Character Controller that supports different gameplay styles, and more.
