See Real-Life Couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco Go to Some Very Dark Places in Disturbing 'Together 'Trailer
Neon released a teaser trailer for the upcoming Michael Shanks-written and directed horror flick on Wednesday, March 19, which opens with a blissfully in-love Millie (Brie, 42) being carried by her husband Tim (Franco, 39) into their cozy-looking new home under a canopy of trees.
The trailer soon shows just how those supernatural entities unfold, beginning with a sighting of two dogs in the forest that stand still in their tracks, as if frozen in time.
Tim is next shown looking into a bathroom mirror, pulling a seemingly never-ending black string from inside his mouth, before Millie, who is presumably a teacher, peers down at a drawing done by one of her students: two fire-tailed dogs that appear conjoined at their heads, foaming at the mouth.

Other disturbing images in the mostly dialogue-free trailer, set to an eerie instrumental piano piece, include Tim screaming from inside a pit, Millie appearing possessed as her body contorts and someone shaking as they levitate above the ground.
Near the end of the preview, Tim tells Millie, "I love you," to which she responds, "I love you too."
Together, Shanks' directorial debut, reunites Brie and Franco (who also co-produced) for the first time on-screen since the couple costarred in 2017's The Little Hours and The Disaster Artist. Franco also directed his wife in 2023's Somebody I Used to Know.
'With a move to the countryside already testing the limits of a couple's relationship, a supernatural encounter begins an extreme transformation of their love, their lives, and their flesh,' per a synopsis from the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where Together first premiered in January.

Gabriel Iglesias, Who Paid $100K for His Dog's Quinceañera, Welcomes New Pup After Losing Two Pets
Comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias is known for his devotion to his pets, and now he has a new pup to spoil. This year, Iglesias welcomed a teacup Chihuahua, Roka, to his family. The tiny black dog arrived at a sensitive time. Iglesias recently mourned the loss of his two beloved Chihuahuas, Vinnie and Risa. Risa is likely known to many, especially fans of Iglesias, as the canine the comedian treated to a $100K quinceñera when the dog turned 15. She died in September 2024 at the age of 16. Unfortunately, Risa and Vinnie developed health problems around the same time, which made their close-together losses difficult on their devoted dog dad. "While finding out that Risa had serious kidney issues, we discovered that Vinnie also had his own health issues. It was months of going back and forth to the ER before they both unfortunately passed away. I was grateful to have them for as many years as I did. The last eight years, they literally became my road dogs. They toured with me everywhere, visiting 40+ states," Iglesias tells PEOPLE of the impact of his late pets. Initially, the plan was to welcome a new pup to his pack before Vinnie and Risa died, but the timing didn't work out. "I have had a Chihuahua in my life since I was 12 years old. At times, I have had more than one Chihuahua at a time. Bringing a new dog into the mix is something I have done in the past. I knew, based on my dogs' ages and health issues, that I needed to do this sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, Roka arrived after losing both Risa and Vinnie," he explains. Iglesias is happy Roka is here now. Her youthful energy and love have been a balm for the star as he continues to grieve Vinnie and Risa. "The amount of energy a puppy has compared to a senior dog is night and day. It reminds me that I'm not getting any younger," Igelsias shares. "All she wants to do is play, explore, and chew on things. She has more toys than I ever had as a child. All of her puppy energy does not allow for being sad, as I am too out of breath from chasing her." Roka has been a rock for Iglesias this summer and has stepped in as the comedian's go-to travel companion. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "Roka has already been to 15 states and two countries. The goal is to hit all 50 states," the pet parent shares. "She is sweet and loving with a select few. Full of energy and bark! Curious and playful! And has me wrapped around her paw!" Iglesias adds. Read the original article on People

'Together' is sexy & hilarious — it's also, accidentally, the queerest horror film of the year
Together might not have started out as an interrogation of gender, but it accidentally became the queerest horror film of the year anyway. It also happens to be one of the year's best, too The film, which comes from first-time feature director Michael Shanks and stars Alison Brie and Dave Franco (who also produced the movie), introduces audiences to Tim and Millie (Franco and Brie, respectively), an outwardly happy, middle-class, unmarried couple on the eve of a big milestone in their relationship. Millie, a teacher, has taken a new job outside the city, and Tim has agreed to come along, potentially leaving behind his dreams of rock stardom. Tim is also wracked with grief over the loss of his father, which has taken a toll on their intimacy — something Millie is willing to look past, but that secretly gnaws at her. In other words, just beneath the surface of this relationship simmers a stew of resentment and insecurity. The question at the heart of the film is whether they really want to commit to a lifetime together — flaws and all — or if they should, wait for it, no longer be together . Germain McMicking/Neon Moving away from their friends and Tim's gigs only puts more pressure on the fault lines of their already fractured connection. To reconnect, they go for a hike, only to stumble — quite literally — into an underground chamber where something they encounter sets off a chain reaction. What follows is a feverishly toxic bond that only grows more intense... especially when their very flesh seems to want to fuse — once again — together. It's a concept born from Shanks' own romantic history. Like his principal characters, he and his partner have been together since they were quite young, and the film reflects his own anxieties around commitment, toxic enmeshment, and loss of identity. 'It's about how crazy it is in any relationship to kind of fully commit to somebody, to share a life with somebody,' he tells PRIDE. 'It's a weird and scary kind of thing to do.' Ben King/Neon Michael Shanks directs Alison Brie and Dave Franco in 'Together' It's a dynamic that anyone, regardless of sexuality or gender, can relate to — but how it's expressed in the film is where things take a surprising left turn into a post-gender world. It's challenging to discuss without revealing the film's many twists and turns. But without venturing too far into the weeds, the film presents a mythology that renders gender obsolete and even a symptom of something fundamentally broken in humanity. It also features a pivotal queer character who serves as both witness and confidant to Millie and Tim as their life transition becomes more of a — shall we say — transformation. Brie is proud of the way the character's presence is treated casually, and she emphasizes the importance of that approach. 'You don't always have to be making a commentary on it — really, just reflecting the way the world is, where we have all types of couples,' she tells PRIDE. Germain McMicking/Neon Although the film takes a darker view on the subject, in Together, love really is love. As a result, couples of all varieties will see their anxieties and emotions reflected in the story — even Brie and Franco, who are married to one another and creative partners together, found themselves reflecting on their own dynamics while making the film. 'We had a lot of discussions about the differences between toxic codependency and maybe sort of like mild codependency,' says Brie. 'I think we came to realize that we have some codependent tendencies in our relationship, but because of our jobs, we actually end up spending a lot of time apart, so we're able to cultivate really good independence and social circles away from each other. Then, when we come back and work together, it feels really nice.' 'It's healthy to kind of miss each other from afar every once in a while,' adds Franco to PRIDE. 'We don't really have many boundaries, and it might kind of become the toxic version of codependency,' he jokes. Although the film is doubtlessly body horror, it's a rare entry in the subgenre that offers some lightness. Part of that comes from the sharp comedic edge of its cast — and it makes great use of more, shall we say, visceral moments for some shockingly funny sight gags. 'We were debating the other day if this is the first feel-good body horror movie. You do kind of walk away wanting to, like, dance and move your body and you're feeling good,' says Franco. Although he also admits with a laugh, 'We've also heard from single people who've seen the movie who have said, 'This is a strong argument for staying single.'' Germain McMicking/Neon Regardless of where audiences fall on that spectrum, they will undoubtedly also be presented with some fascinating questions about gender, what a post-gender world would look like, and if we're better off without it all. Intentionally or not, the film presents those fascinating questions and leaves you with plenty more to chew on — which is the sign of a great horror film. Together is the most romantic, queerest, and funniest body horror film in recent memory. Brie and Franco are perfectly cast, and their real-life chemistry shines through. It's a rom-com for sickos and queer folks — and that's the highest compliment I can give a film. Together is out now in theaters. Check out the trailer below. Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie (Dave Franco and Alison Brie) find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the ... - YouTube This article originally appeared on Pride: 'Together' is sexy & hilarious — it's also, accidentally, the queerest horror film of the year
