Last Updated:
Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are back as the paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in the The Conjuring: Last Rites trailer to investigate the Smurl family haunting.
The trailer for the last film in The Conjuring franchise, The Conjuring: Last Rites, has just dropped, and it's packed with spine chilling moments that will give you nightmares. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are back as the iconic paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who will be facing their most terrifying case yet, the haunting of the Smurl family. For over a decade, the family experienced physical and mental abuse by a demon. Described as Warrens' darkest case, the teaser mentions 'Discover why this case was their last." Set in 1986, the Warrens investigate Janet and Jack Smurls' home, where the demon's terrifying presence has left the family in constant fear.
The promo starts with Ed showing their room full of cursed objects, like the painting of the nun Valak and the iconic haunted doll Annabelle. Ed talks about their past work, saying they have handled over 1,000 cases. The clip then cuts to Lorraine seeing an unknown hand on their daughter's shoulder. Then, the trailer shows a young girl getting scared by dolls floating in the air and a demon hides behind one of them. Lorraine feels that 'something is different." The trailer shows creepy scenes like a sink filled with blood. In the final scene, a demon tells Lorraine, 'We've been waiting so patiently for you," before running towards her.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Vera Farmiga said, 'I'm going to miss Patrick most of all. I mean, not really. He's reachable within seconds on text. But I'll miss him as a fun scene partner who totally understands my kind of neurology, who vibes with my brain in a way. I love that guy. I'm so blessed to have had him by my side. He made all of these life-zapping, exhausting exorcisms feel like a family barbecue."
Wilson was emotional at the franchise ending. 'I think that's why when you say, 'Can you imagine it being over?' I actually can't imagine it really because of her. It really meant the world to me. I didn't think we'd be doing this for 12, 13 years. I only know this because I have a shirt from running a race in Wilmington. It says 2012, [which is] when we shot the first one. So, yeah, I get emotional. I can't imagine not doing a movie with her," he stated
For The Conjuring: Last Rites, while Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are back in the lead roles, they will be joined by Mia Tomlinson and Ben Hardy, who play their daughter Judy Warren and her boyfriend Tony Spera. Steve Coulter also returns as Father Gordon. The cast also includes Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, John Brotherton and Shannon Kook. The movie is scheduled to release on September 5.

Ed The Zebra, Captured After Week-Long Escape, Is Now An Internet Star
Last Updated: Ed, a zebra that had gone missing in Tennessee, managed to stay on the loose for an entire week before being safely recaptured and flown out by air. In a bizarre yet captivating story out of Christiana, Tennessee, a zebra named Ed became an unlikely celebrity after escaping his owner and embarking on a wild, week-long adventure. The drama began on May 31, when Ed broke free and began roaming through neighbourhoods, startling residents and even weaving through traffic on a nearby interstate. Videos and sightings of the striped fugitive quickly made their way online, turning Ed into a viral sensation as people across the country followed his journey. Authorities and local volunteers tried repeatedly to capture him, but the crafty zebra managed to stay one step ahead. Finally, on June 8, after more than a week on the run, the chase came to an end when Ed was safely located and captured with the help of aviation crews. The runaway zebra's journey may be over, but his legendary escape is one the town won't forget anytime soon. The Rutherford County Sheriff's Office announced on Facebook that the aviation team Tango 82 successfully found Zebra Ed and brought him back to his owner on Sunday. Who Is Ed? Read All About His Great Escape Ed went missing on May 31, a day after being brought to his new home in Christiana, Tennessee. Recently purchased by a private owner, who has opted to stay anonymous, Ed's unexpected escape quickly triggered a large-scale search and drew public attention. His wild adventure kicked off when he was seen sprinting down Interstate 24, forcing officials to temporarily close sections of the highway to protect both drivers and the zebra. Although several attempts were made to catch him, Ed proved elusive, with numerous sightings reported in local neighbourhoods and nearby wooded areas over the following days. As Ed's runaway journey unfolded, social media lit up with videos, memes, and jokes, placing the zebra in all sorts of hilarious situations. One viral meme showed him casually eating at a Waffle House, while others imagined him sightseeing across Tennessee or holding a cardboard sign by the roadside. The internet quickly embraced Ed's escapades, turning him into a local legend with hashtags like #EdTheZebra gaining traction and fuelling his rise as an online sensation. After over a week on the run, Ed was found near Buchanan Estates on June 8. In a dramatic helicopter rescue, crews airlifted him in a net to safety. The video of his mid-air recovery quickly went viral. Is it legal to own a zebra? Yes, in Tennessee, zebras are considered Class III animals, meaning no special permits are needed to keep one. However, experts strongly advise against it. Zebras are unpredictable, sometimes aggressive, and have complex needs that are difficult to manage at home. Ed's escape is a clear reminder of the risks involved in owning exotic wildlife.

Ed Sheeran reveals how Aashiqui 2 led him to Arijit Singh, recalls scooting around village to watch sunset with him
Ed Sheeran recently teamed up with Arijit Singh for his new track Sapphire. Just three days after its release, the British singer opened up about how he first met Arijit, fondly recalling his visit to the Indian singer's hometown in West Bengal, where they spent time together watching sunsets and the moon. (Also Read: Ed Sheeran drops new song Sapphire with desi beats, Arijit Singh vocals. All Shah Rukh Khan fans care about is his cameo) Ed took to Instagram and, sharing a clip of himself riding a scooty through the streets of West Bengal with Arijit, he wrote, 'I first became aware of @arijitsingh's music when I watched Aashiqui 2 and heard Tum Hi Ho. I was proper spellbound by his voice, the song, the scene in the movie. I checked him out, and got in touch, and said whenever you wanna sing together, I'm down. He was playing London, so I went with him as a guest and sang Perfect there—it was an incredible show. I played him an early version of Sapphire in the dressing room, and he instantly had ideas for instruments and melodies. We then were pen pals over email for a bit, until I was in India for the tour.' He then recalled visiting Arijit's hometown and wrote. 'I said to him, we should finish this in person, and he said, please come to my hometown so I can show you my home and culture. I was with my dad on tour, which is a rarity to get so much one-on-one time with him. Me and him got a flight to Kolkata, then a five-and-a-half-hour drive to his hometown. We arrived, went on a barge down the river—which was stunning—then got a scooty back to the studio where we finished the song.' A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) Ed further recalled Arijit teaching him Punjabi, adding, 'Arijit taught me Punjabi and how to pronounce it all properly, and showed me sitar. We then had dinner, and scooted around the village to see the sunset and moon with my dad. It was a proper core memory I'll always cherish with my father, and I'm honoured to have created in this way with Arijit. He's one of the most talented humans I've ever met, and I'm so grateful he shared his talent with me for this song. The full Punjabi version we recorded will be out in a couple of weeks, but until then I'll be drip-feeding fun videos from our time together. Enjoy!' As Ed finally dropped the three-minute video of Sapphire—a song he had been teasing for a while—what caught fans' attention was Shah Rukh Khan singing the lyrics. Ed had previously teased the desi beats and the line 'Cham cham sitaare warghi.' In a recent post about the song, Ed wrote 'love that guy' referring to Shah Rukh, and called Arijit 'the final jigsaw piece' of his song.
