Melanie Griffith Makes Rare Red Carpet Appearance With Daughter
Melanie Griffith Makes Rare Red Carpet Appearance With Daughter originally appeared on Parade. Legendary actress Melanie Griffith stunned in a rare red carpet appearance with her daughter, Dakota Johnson, on August 19. Tippi Hedren's daughter, 68, posed alongside her own daughter, 35, while attending the Los Angeles premiere of Johnson's latest movie Splitsville at the AMC at The Grove. Naturally, the beloved actress was there to support Johnson, who has really blossomed as a performer over the last five years, and her latest project. Both mother and daughter were looking incredibly stylish on the carpet, of course. Griffith rocked a stunning fitted light cream suit with cream and tan sneakers, while Johnson opted for a gorgeous strapless silver gown seemingly made of leather that hugged her slim figure perfectly. Her dress hit the floor, so her shoes on the carpet were somewhat of a mystery — a fun way to get fans talking about the beautiful look. That said, Johnson changed up her outfit entirely for the screening's afterparty at Delilah in Los Angeles. The Madame Web star donned a chic long-sleeved black dress with a crew neck and black ankle booties to match. The actress' mother did not seem to attend the premiere party, but it was great to see her hit the carpet and support her daughter's endeavors. In fact, this was somewhat of a rare appearance for Griffith. She was last seen at a book launch for Covet the Comeback by Christos Garkinos back in March, and before that, the Academy Award nominee was photographed on the red carpet at the Elle Women in Hollywood celebration in November 2024. So it's great to see the icon out and about in great spirits, especially to cheer on her daughter. Johnson is the child of Griffith and actor Don Johnson, who is perhaps best known for playing James Crockett in the beloved 80s TV show Miami Vice. The pair married and divorced in 1976 and then got back together in 1989 before divorcing again in 1996.

They Might Be Making the Perfect ‘Star Trek: Voyager' Game
For as long as Star Trek: Voyager has been around, there has been as much debate about if Captain Janeway made the right decisions navigating her crew's journey home across years of travel from an unexplored corner of the galaxy with little to no support from Starfleet. Should she have killed Tuvix to save the lives of two crewmembers? Should she have been hyperevolved into an amphibian and had sex with one of her senior, also-currently-a-hyperevolved-amphibian officers? Should she have deleted that wife? Well, there's good news. You might soon be able to make those kinds of decisions in the Voyager captain's chair yourself. Announced today at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, by publisher Daedalic Entertainment, Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown will cast players in the role of the titular ship's captain after it is shunted 70,000 light-years from the Alpha Quadrant and into the unexplored Delta Quadrant. A 'story-driven survival game,' Across the Unknown will see players have to balance repairing the ship after its bumpy journey to the Delta Quadrant, acquiring and maintaining resources, and going on away missions as you and your crew explore the Delta Quadrant and chart a voyage home. Aside from letting players rebuild Voyager's internal systems and research ways to adapt Delta Quadrant technology to sustain its journey and manage crew morale (including even using Borg technology, should you dare), Across the Unknown will have players making key decisions inspired by Voyager's TV adventures, engaging in ship combat and team management for away missions and ship duties, and rogue-like elements to see how long or how far you can take Voyager as her captain. Star Trek has often been a franchise that struggles to adapt to the world of video gaming, in spite of the long and rich video gaming legacy that it has fostered regardless of that struggle. But even in an early glimpse, the potential of Across the Unknown seems to be incredible. This is a pitch-perfect way to take a beloved Star Trek premise (one that the show itself often strained to really match thanks to its approach to episodic storytelling) and marry it with video game mechanics that have you engaging with the things that make Star Trek what it is in the first place: tough decisions and systems management that will only occasionally result in a phasering or two. Or more, if you want it to. You'll be able to out-Janeway Janeway herself when Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown comes to PC in the future. The game is available to wishlist on Steam now, but currently has no release date. Want more io9 news?
