Red-Band Trailer For The Supernatural Horror Film WITCHBOARD — GeekTyrant
Set in New Orleans, 'Emily and her fiancé Christian are opening their new dream café. But their dreams are dashed when Emily finds an ancient, cursed Witchboard, an ancient artifact that once served as a gateway to the spirit world.
'As Emily becomes increasingly captivated by the board's ability to summon spirits, Christian seeks the expertise of Alexander Babtiste , an enigmatic occult scholar. As Emily's grip on reality weakens, Babtiste's true intentions come to light—to use the Witchboard's dark spirit power for his own twisted purposes.
'Culminating in a decadent masked ball at Babtiste's mansion, the line between temptation and terror blurs as Emily and Christian find themselves trapped in a deadly web of witchcraft and dark desires. Emily and Christian must race against time to break the board's curse before they succumb to its deadly power!'
Madison Iseman ( I Know What You Did Last Summer ) leads the cast as Emily, alongside Aaron Dominguez ( Only Murders in the Building ), Antonia Desplat ( Shantaram ), and Charlie Tahan ( Ozark ). Also along for the ride is Stranger Things star Jamie Campbell Bower.
Speaking with Bloody Disgusting, Russell said: 'I wanted to get back to the horror genre. I've been keeping an eye out for that over the course of my career, and I wanted to do something even scarier and more imaginative. I wanted to top my other two horror films,' he said.
He added: 'I put everything I hadn't tried into this film. I hope that fans of my work will recognize my touch. But we have dreams; we have deadly hallucinations. We have body swaps; we have literal time travel. It's fun in that regard, but number one is to scare the hell out of people, and I think we've done that, too.'
The film is set to hit theaters August 15, 2025.

Are Christine Baranski and King Princess dating? Here's why fans & Hannah Einbender are convinced
'Love is love,' according to King Princess, who wrote that in the caption of a photo of herself and her Nine Perfect Strangers co-star Christine Baranski — a post that is adding fuel to the fire of speculation that the duo are dating, at least according to every sapphic on social media. This post did not fly under the radar with fans, who immediately clocked it and began celebrating, including actor Hannah Einbender, who reposted the photo with a caption of her own: 'do i even need to say it,' wrote the Hacks star. King Princess's post comes on the heels of months of sapphics online speculating about the duo, who frequently appear cozy posing together on the red carpet. The two first met on the set of Nine Perfect Strangers, and their connection is one that King Princess has described as a 'mind meld.' In that same interview, the two joked about 'their first date.' 'Our first date—let's give them something to talk about,' joked Baranski. 'We actually got dressed up and finally had dinner. I remember we went to this chic, French-y watering hole. We sat at the bar, ordered our martinis, and suddenly we're talking about our grandmothers who deeply affected and influenced our lives. I think that's where we profoundly bonded.' Bruce Glikas/WireImage King Princess and Christine Baranski pose at the gala re-opening night of "Mamma Mia" on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theatre on August 18, 2025 in New York City. This week, they took their bond to New York for a performance of Mamma Mia, where they were photographed holding hands. It was this photo that King Princess reposted, leading many to believe that the couple had just officially hard-launched their age-gap romance. This isn't the first time the two have attended Broadway performances together; previously, they attended a showing of Oh, Mary! last August. Bruce Glikas/WireImage King Princess and Christine Baranski pose backstage at the hit play "Oh, Mary!" on Broadway at The Lyceum Theatre. Whether or not King Princess is just having fun with the speculation or if this is a real relationship, we support seeing these two together in any MPTF Hannah Einbinder, King Princess, and Christine Baranski attend MPTF's 18th Annual Evening Before the Emmys at Century Park.

Spirit Halloween Has Made the Most Affordable ‘Jurassic Park' Goggles Replica We've Seen
The iconic T. rex escape scene is seared into the collective core memory of Jurassic Park fans. Steven Spielberg's blockbuster franchise is full of memorable moments, from the jiggling water to the lawyer running to the bathroom. But if you, like me, had the film as one of your earliest and most life-changing cinema-going experiences, there's not a detail forgotten—especially not the goggles. You know the ones that Tim grabs and the lawyer tells him to put back, because if they're heavy, 'they're expensive.' And that's indeed been a fact of life for Jurassic fans who longed for their own pair of those iconic goggles: all available replicas have been expensive. Until now, that is. Over 30 years later the wait is now over, as Spirit Halloween has released the highly coveted goggles of our childhood dreams, available at the seasonal spooky retailer's pop-up near you and online. The officially licensed costume prop is $149.99; a price point that is much more reasonable than a custom prop replica or a 1:1 mantlepiece, such as the Chronicle Collectibles release from 2018. These could have saved little me a ton of sleepless nights as a kid if they would have been on hand in addition to a cup of water on my nightstand, which I'd look at to make sure it stayed still. The only catch? They don't detail night-vision capabilities, but hey, it's for dress-up and not actually spotting Rexy in the distance. Take a look at the officially licensed Universal Pictures Jurassic Park goggles, which are so far the closest we'll get to the real thing, and we'll take it! Want more io9 news?

Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle to Star in Broadway ‘Proof' Revival
Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle will make their Broadway debuts next spring as a father and daughter united by math as well as mental health struggles in a revival of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play 'Proof.' The play, by David Auburn, previously ran on Broadway from October 2000 to January 2003 — an unusually long run for a serious drama. In 2001 it won not only the Pulitzer but also the Tony Award for best play. Set in Chicago, 'Proof' is about a young woman whose father, a well-known mathematician, has died; she is juggling complex relationships with her sister and with one of her father's former students. And those relationships are upended by the discovery of a mathematical proof of uncertain authorship in her father's office. Reviewing an Off Broadway production in 2000, the critic Bruce Weber, writing in The New York Times, deemed it 'an exhilarating and assured new play' and said that it 'turns the esoteric world of higher mathematics literally into a back porch drama, one that is as accessible and compelling as a detective story.' The play has been widely staged, and in 2005 was adapted for film. Edebiri is an Emmy Award winner for her role in the FX series 'The Bear.' Cheadle was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in the 2004 film 'Hotel Rwanda.' The 'Proof' revival will be directed by Thomas Kail, who won a Tony Award for directing 'Hamilton.' It is scheduled to begin previews March 31 and to open April 16 at an unspecified Shubert theater. Mike Bosner ('Beautiful' and 'Shucked') and Kail are the revival's lead producers.
