Julianne Moore Questions If Her Daughter Sydney Sweeney Is a Murderer in ‘Echo Valley' Trailer
Could Sydney Sweeney be a murderer, and if so, would her mother Julianne Moore even care? Such are the questions at the center of the highly-anticipated Apple Original Film 'Echo Valley,' directed by 'Beast' and 'Encounter' filmmaker Michael Pearce and written by 'Mare of Easttown' scribe Brad Inglesby. Sweeney stars as Claire, the troubled daughter of Kate (Moore), who shows up on her doorstep covered in someone else's blood. 'As Kate pieces together the shocking truth of what happened, she learns just how far a mother will go to try to save her child in this gripping tale of love, sacrifice and survival,' the logline reads. The film is set on the secluded Echo Valley Farm in Pennsylvania, with the tagline teasing that the feature is a 'heart-pounding thriller about just how far a mother will go to save her child.'

'Echo Valley' is produced by Ridley Scott's Scott Free Films and The Walsh Company, with Michael Pruss, Ingelsby, and Kevin Walsh for The Walsh Company under his multi-year Apple TV+ producing deal. Pruss and Ingelsby developed the script together. The film will be executive produced by Scott Greenberg, Scott Free's Rebecca Feuer, and Nicole Jordan-Webber. Erika Olde and Sam Roseme will also executive produce through Black Bicycle Entertainment. Tanja Tawadjoh will co-produce. Sweeney told Vanity Fair that she watched hundreds of YouTube videos of addicts interviewed on Los Angeles' Skid Row to prepare to play Claire. She also drew from personal encounters with addicts as well. 'I've had a lot of family members deal with addiction and then struggle with similar issues as Claire and her friends, and her group that she hangs out with,' Sweeney said. 'I've kind of had firsthand experience with it. I mean, there's a manipulation underneath a lot of it. But when there was love in the air in the room, you truly still felt it. The person that they are at the core, as buried as they might be, is still there.' Director Pearce credited Sweeney for going all out for the role, saying, 'It's kind of spooky how quickly she can get to a very raw emotional place when you call 'action,' and she's just straight away exactly where the character needs to be. Which is often a very place of extreme emotional duress. Then you'd call cut and maybe change your lens, and she's very light. You'd call 'action' again, and she's straight there in a matter of seconds.' Pearce continued, 'The way that she was screaming at Julianne, I thought she was going to burst her eardrum. It was so intense. But as soon as we called 'cut,' they were just laughing. They were just so happy to get their teeth stuck into such a meaty scene.' And co-lead Moore hinted at just how twisted the film is: 'These are my favorite kinds of movies: movies about relationships,' Moore said. 'What will people do for one another? What kind of decisions do you make? How far will you go? I'm kind of curious what the reaction will be,' she says. 'There will be a sense, certainly, among parents going, like, 'well, would I do that? How far would I go?' You're left with those questions.' 'Echo Valley' premieres June 13 on Apple TV+.

Jessica Biel launches wine label ahead of BottleRock, admits her kids think she's ‘lame'
Jessica Biel is getting ready to join her husband Justin Timberlake at BottleRock Napa Valley this weekend and the timing couldn't be better for the actress as she just unveiled her latest venture: a new wine label called Prophet & Poet. The label is co-founded by Biel, her brother Justin, and longtime family friend and winemaker Jesse Katz, who first created custom wine blends for each of their weddings. 'I just thought, well, if I'm ever going to get involved with any sort of winemaking situation, these are the people who know what they're doing,' Biel told InStyle. 'It just seemed kind of obvious to me.' The wine will be showcased at an intimate dinner at Alexander Valley Mountain on Thursday, May 22, and at a VIP event at BottleRock ahead of Timberlake's festival headlining set on Saturday, May 24. The name Prophet & Poet honors Biel's brother and his wife, Rose — he a writer, she a shaman — and features Tarot-inspired labels. The star of the Prime Video series 'The Better Sister' admitted to InStyle, 'I still don't know that much about wine' and said the label aims to make wine feel more accessible. 'You look at a label and you get drawn in by an image and then maybe some words on it and then you go, I'm going to give it a try,' said Biel, who just finished filming 'Matchbox,' an Apple Original Film. While Biel's career and new business are thriving, she shared on 'The Tonight Show' that her two sons, Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4, are not particularly impressed. 'Do your kids know how cool their parents are?' host Jimmy Fallon asked. 'No. Not at all,' Biel replied. 'Well, I think they think Justin's kind of cool 'cause the music element, and like, he's Daddy. I am so lame to them. The new phrase for my 4-year-old is, 'Mom, you have the worst ideas.'' Still, Biel said she earned 'cool mom points' for her friendship with 'Matchbox' co-star John Cena — though her younger son described her simply as 'John Cena's friend' on a Mother's Day worksheet. 'I died,' she said. Biel and Timberlake, who married in 2012, are known for maintaining their children's privacy and refraining from publicly sharing photos of their faces.

On the heels of adding NASCAR support ahead of the opening race at Daytona last month, Apple has now added Formula 1 coverage to version 2.6 of its native Apple Sports app. The new F1 support means Apple users in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada can keep up with the Formula 1 season, both inside the Apple Sports app and through Live Activity widgets. The changelog for Apple's March 11 Apple Sports update says F1 fans will get access to info such as live leaderboards and lap times. Although Apple hasn't shown off exactly what the Live Activities for the F1 races will look like, if the NASCAR implementation is anything to go by, Live Activities will showcase portraits of drivers in first, second, and third position with live interval delta data highlighted between each of the three spots. Lap count and flag information was also visible throughout the race, making it easy to keep tabs on race progress directly from your lockscreen or homescreen. As noted by MacRumors, Apple continues to show interest in F1. In addition to Apple CEO Tim Cook waving the checkered flag at the 2022 United States Grand Prix, the company has also filmed an Apple Original Film starring Brad Pitt. Multiple races throughout the 2024 season served as backdrops for the upcoming film. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, director of Top Gun: Maverick, the film will follow the fictional story of the 'APXGP' Formula 1 team as Pitt and his co-star Damson Idris battle it out on-track.
