Naked Gun co-stars Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are reportedly dating
In a move that couldn't come soon enough for movie marketers, Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, stars of this Friday's new movie The Naked Gun, are said to be dating. Article content A source close to the movie told People magazine: 'It's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other.' Article content Article content Neeson, 73, stars in the movie as Frank Drebin Jr., son of Leslie Nielsen's character from the original Naked Gun series. That began with the short-lived TV series Police Squad! (it ran for just six episodes in 1982), which then was spun off into three films. They were The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988), The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) and Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994). Article content Nielsen got his start as a serious actor before making his way into such comedies as Airplane! and Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Neeson, similarly, has seen his career careen over time. He began with serious roles — he starred in Schindler's List while Nielsen was making Naked Gun sequels — and then transitioned into being an action hero (Taken came out in 2008) before this new move into comedy. Article content Anderson, 58, plays Drebin's love interest, Beth, in the new movie; roughly the same role played by Priscilla Presley in the first Naked Gun film. Famous for TV's Baywatch in the 1990s, Anderson has moved between dramatic and comedic roles since then, with the latter including Scary Movie 3, Superhero Movie (also with fellow Canadian Nielsen) and 2006's Borat, where she performed so well in a cameo as herself that many people at the time believed she'd been unaware she was in a movie. Article content Neeson and Anderson each brought their sons with them to a red-carpet premiere of The Naked Gun in New York on Monday. Anderson has two sons — Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, with ex-husband Tommy Lee — while Neeson has two sons, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28, with late wife Natasha Richardson, who died in 2009 after a skiing accident in Quebec. Article content People reported that, the next day, the two stars pretended to be caught making out on live TV, a possible reference to the recent 'kisscam' debacle at a Coldplay concert. An earlier interview from October had Neeson saying he was 'madly in love' with his co-star, whom he called 'funny and so easy to work with.' She reciprocated, calling Neeson 'the perfect gentleman' and adding: 'It was an absolute honour to work with him.' Article content Article content

Anne Hathaway is spotted filming The Devil Wears Prada 2. The trend-worthy outfits are already giving us serious outfit envy
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. News travels fast, but we ran faster to check out the pictures when we heard that Anne Hathaway was spotted in New York, officially filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2. The sequel to 2006's fashion smash hit movie has been talked about since the Noughties, and it's finally happening - Andy Sachs is back with an envious closet to boot. While the exact plot has yet to be confirmed, we can't wait for the myriad of incredible outfits that are sure to include everything from the best designer handbags to runway looks plucked from the spring/summer trends 2025 and exquisite vintage finds. And I have no doubt that this movie will have fashionistas lining up at movie theaters to watch once more. Hathaway was spotted filming on the streets of New York in a brightly colored Mondrian-inspired dress, running gingerly in towering Chloe heels as she dragged a cabin case loaded with a men's Fendi Forty8 bag and Runway suit bag balanced precariously on top, hinting that her character might still work at the magazine of the same name. BRIGHT COLORS, FOR SUMMER? GROUNDBREAKING If being spotted on set wasn't enough to confirm our deepest movie hopes, the actress went on to make it Instagram official. Hathaway shared two posts to her account, first as Andy Sachs wearing a chic pinstripe women's pantsuit before adding another post featuring a short clip of her wearing the gorgeous Gabriela Hearst patchwork dress as she walked in front of a giant number 2 sculpture with the New York skyline behind her. Taking inspiration from the jewelry trends 2025, her outfit was styled with a mixture of pearl and gold necklaces as well as a silver watch, while her classic cat-eye sunglasses gave a nod to the sunglasses trends 2025. Shop the look With the same coloring as Andy's towering Chloe heels, this straight-to-market pair by Spanish brand Zara delivers a similar look and feel at a fraction of the price. $109 / £69.99 at Zara Made from a lightweight linen and inspired by the colorful artwork of Piet Mondrian, this maxi dress is the perfect summer outfit idea, whether it's worn at the beach or in the city is up to you. $7900 / £6130 at Gabriela Hearst If you're looking for a stylish sun hat to take on vacation this summer, this bucket hat from &OtherStories is a chic alternative to wide-brimmed styles with its leather trim. $45 / £32 &OtherStories We love the mix and match of pearl strands and gold chains in Andy Sachs' outfit. This asymmetric style is a contemporary, offbeat update to the classic pearl strand. $225 / £148 at Astley Clarke The Devil might wear Prada, but Andy Sachs' cool basket weave bag is from another Italian fashion brand, Fendi. Made of recycled plastic, it's not only chic but sustainable too. There's also a white version available. $1800 / £1290 at Fendi A T-bar necklace is a timeless style to add to your jewelry box. It can be worn individually or layered with other pieces to create a more statement neckline, drawing the eye towards the face. $240 / £179 at Daisy Eager fans might well recognize that Hathaway's crosswalk moment echoes a pivotal scene from the original movie. During a montage in The Devil Wears Prada, viewers watch as Hathaway's character Andy Sachs is seen striding around the city in a series of ever more stylish outfits, often walking over crosswalks. Culminating in the often-quoted interaction between Andy and Emily 'Are you wearing... the Chanel boots?', to which Andy matter-of-factly replies with a cool 'yes, I am'. The subtle nod to this famous scene has left fans (like me) even more excited for what's to come in the sequel. If this outfit is anything to go by, this is just the start of what's going to be a very stylish cinematic return for the much-loved characters of Andy Sachs and her arch nemesis, Runway editor Miranda Priestley, as well as the long-suffering Emily and Nigel, plus a host of new characters. And in case you're wondering when The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters, mark the 1st of May 2026 in your diaries - yes, that's just a few days before the Met Gala for those in the know.

Lee Min-ho and Ahn Hyo-seop on why they would choose Blackpink's Jisoo as their ally when fighting monsters
Popular South Korean stars Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho brought their smiles, charm and wit as they greeted reporters in Singapore on Tuesday (Jul 29) as part of promotions for their upcoming movie Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy. Singapore marks the movie's first and only international promotional stop outside of South Korea. The two were joined by director Kim Byung-woo as they fielded questions at Marina Bay Sands. Following the press conference, they are set to attend special fan screenings of Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy at selected Golden Village outlets. In Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, Ahn Hyo-seop plays Kim Dok-ja, an ordinary office worker who finds himself battling monsters when his favourite novel comes to life. During the press conference, the 30-year-old, who has seen a rise in his global stardom following roles in 2022's Business Proposal and the smash hit movie KPop Demon Hunters, was asked if he had difficulties playing a "plain-looking character". Clad in a sleek, all-black ensemble, Ahn was the antithesis of "plain-looking" and cooly replied: "I don't think I'm an outstanding person. "Since the story revolves around being ordinary, I asked myself 'What is ordinary?' and 'Who am I?', and I came to the conclusion that my existence itself is ordinary. If I think of myself as outstanding and special, then I won't even be able to start this project. So I worked on balancing out and blurring the boundary between what's ordinary and extraordinary." Co-starring in the movie is Hallyu icon Lee Min-ho, who plays the brooding Yu Jung-hyeok – the original hero of Dok-ja's favourite novel. The 38-year-old echoed Ahn's sentiments of not feeling like an outstanding person. "In the original web novel, Yu Jung-hyeok was described as having an outstanding and beautiful face that can win over anyone. That was the most difficult part of acting," revealed Lee. "I consider myself an ordinary person because I believe people should be defined by their internal selves and not their external selves. And I believe I'm internally an ordinary person. Knowing that made it so hard to portray such an outstanding and extraordinary person [like Yu Jung-hyeok]." With Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy being an adaptation of a megahit franchise that has seen over 2.5 billion views worldwide across its web novel and web comic adaptations, questions have been raised about whether the movie will be a faithful adaptation of its source material. Director Kim Byung-woo, who won numerous accolades for his 2013 movie The Terror Live, said that there were "inevitable changes" because of the different mediums. "What I focused on the most was 'How can the story be entertaining and how can audiences find it exciting?' As such, I tried not to get too restrained by the original story," said Kim. "That being said, whatever you imagined from the web novel, we did portray and bring it to the world of the movie. I just want you to sit down, relax and have fun." In a moment that brought laughter to attendees of the press conference, all three men admitted that if the events of Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy became reality, they would pick Lee Ji-hye, a character played by Blackpink member Jisoo in the movie, to be their ally. And it's not exactly for her skill set. "Instead of her weapon, I'll listen to her songs," quipped Lee Min-ho. "Her music will be the biggest power to me." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Golden Village Pictures (@goldenvillagepictures) Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy will be released for general audiences in Singapore on Jul 31. It follows the story of Kim Dok-ja (played by Ahn Hyo-seop), an ordinary office worker and the only reader of a little-known web novel. Disappointed with the novel's ending, Dok-ja sends an angry message to its author, only to have the novel's apocalyptic world suddenly become reality. When the novel's original hero, Yu Jung-hyeok (played by Lee Min-ho), appears before him, Dok-ja must use his unique knowledge of the story to survive and bring forth a new ending.

Am I the Only One Who Wants 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' to Stop Spoiling the Costumes?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Surely I can't be the only moviegoer to opt out of watching trailers. To get me into an AMC, all I need is an elevator pitch: the cast list, the genre, the faintest sketch of the plot. The rest I'll digest with popcorn in hand and my eyes glued to the screen. When The Devil Wears Prada announced its highly-anticipated sequel, I obviously planned to ignore teasers in all forms. I was too young to see the 2006 original in theaters. This time around, I yearned to view Anne Hathaway in all her Chanel-clad glory up on the silver screen—not my phone screen. On July 21, however, The Devil Wears Prada 2 thwarted my plan. Without warning, Andy Sachs (a.k.a. Hathaway) appeared on my Instagram feed, dressed in Chanel dad sandals and a denim maxi skirt. This singular moment opened the costume floodgates, and now, the Prada-verse is all I see online. Paparazzi photographers and amateur TikTokers are busier than ever, prepped with their widest-lens cameras and cell phones to capture Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep, or all three back in action. Hathaway has been on set for less than a week, and already, she's been spotted in five Andy Sachs sets. That's at least a quarter of the movie (or a singular makeover montage set to Madonna's "Vogue"). One of her most viral looks so far was her first suit, a cross between Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly's moody color palette in the first film and an Aritzia summer sale rack. In theory, her tailored waist coat, Golden Goose ankle boots, and vintage Coach bag didn't spoil the plot. It did confirm Andy's workwear aesthetic has taken a turn that aligns with her story. By the time it's projected on an 120-inch screen next May, I might be underwhelmed—because I know it's coming. A few hours later, my phone pinged again with another Hathaway sighting. Dressed in a $7,900 Gabriela Hearst gown, the Oscar winner seemingly gave away a major plot point: She's back at Runway. While en route to the Hampton Jitney bus, Andy was impossible to miss in multi-color beachwear, plus a Runway garment bag hanging from her carry-on suitcase. This confused thousands of fans online: At the end of the first film, after all, Andy quit her journalist job at the top-tier, yet toxic, publication. So, did you just toss your phone in the water fountain for fun, Andy? Or, did you realize Miranda was right—and everyone does, in fact, want this? I shouldn't be surprised paparazzi are posted up on every corner. Nearly twenty years have passed since the first movie and its cultural cachet has only grown in that time. (How many times have you recited the trickle-down cerulean speech? Exactly.) Photos of the set are in high demand, and each one sets off its own mini discourse about the brands the actors are wearing, the way they're styled, and what it all could possibly mean. Of course photographers are going the distance to snap a sneak peek. Some are even shooting through a 30-story high rise, which appears to be Runway magazine's new home. (Another spoiler sabotaged by paparazzi.) Still, in art and in life, nothing gets past Miranda Priestly. On July 23, Streep waved to photographers from one of the highest floors while she was in character. Another now-viral TikTok revealed Miranda, Andy, and Stanley Tucci's character, Nigel Kipling, are all working together again—on 6th Avenue, no less. There goes my dream of Andy launching her own magazine without an ounce of Miranda's input. The clip also included the name of a potential new publication: Adore. The title appeared on the office's large TV, while Hathaway smiled at fans in another never-before-seen white T-shirt, matching trousers, and a navy blue blazer. It's almost a rite of passage for New York City films to have their costumes photographed while the project is still in production. Last summer, Dakota Johnson's Materialists got the same paparazzi treatment. Marie Claire ID'ed every outfit months before the rom-com released in June 2025. However, the sartorial stakes weren't nearly as high for Materialists as they are for The Devil Wears Prada 2. Johnson's character, a high-profile matchmaker, dressed well enough, but fashion wasn't an integral part of the plot. By knowing who and what Miranda and Andy are wearing, we could be robbing ourselves of major gasps in the theater. A single garment bag seemingly answered the question we've been asking ourselves for two decades, after all. Since The Devil Wears Prada 2 is filming mostly in NYC, far away from 20th Century Studios' lot, hoping for zero spoilers appears to be a pipe dream. Even the studio itself shared Hathaway's first two outfits on Instagram. From now until May 1, 2026, however, I'll do my best to scroll past any more posts. I'm trying to preserve the integrity of cinema, people. And who knows? Maybe it was the cast's plan all along. Perhaps they're showing the laidback looks now and reserving more extravagant costumes for May 1. Besides, if Meryl Streep didn't want to be seen, the legend has the power of three Academy Awards to ensure she remained invisible. Was this was a ploy to get audiences talking? If so, congratulations. It worked. Solve the daily Crossword

‘What The Hell Just Happened?' Pete Davidson Recalled The Wild Story Behind How An Eye-Related Shot In New Horror Movie Could Have Caused ‘Real Damage'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We've come a long way with movie magic. CGI technology and filmmaking techniques have made anything on the big screen possible. However, occasionally directors decide to go the practical route, as sometimes technology doesn't capture a moment the same way tangible effects do. This was the case in Pete Davidson's upcoming horror movie, The Home, where director James DeMonaco decided to use Davidson's actual eye for one of the freakest scenes in the film, and things almost got dangerous. The SNL alum recently sat down with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, and he talked about becoming a dad for the first time, as well as making The Home with the team that made The Purge. One of the scenes that is teased in the trailer features Davidson tied to a chair with a contraption holding his eye open, reminiscent of the famous eye scene in A Clockwork Orange. When the actor read the script, he naturally assumed that movie magic and new tech would be used to create this moment. He said: Obviously, I read the script and was like, 'That won't be my eye. This is the movies! It'll be a CGI eye.' If you can bring people back from the dead and put them in a movie, then that's not my eye. He has a great point. If movies can use motion capture to make actors into aliens for Avatar and dinosaurs come to life in Jurassic Park, they should realistically be able to digitally put Davidson's eye in a contraption just by using some green stickers and VFX post-production work. However, DeMonaco had other plans, and instead employed three doctors to be present while they actually put Davidson's eye in some monstrous contraption. The King of Staten Island star was understandably shocked by the idea, saying: So I get to set, and there's three doctors there, and they all look, you know, not – they're a little concerned. I'm like, 'What's going on?' and my buddy James [DeMonaco], the director, goes, 'They're here for your eye.' I was like, 'What do you mean?' Apparently, DeMonaco thought Davidson's eyes were just too distinctive to be recreated digitally, and the shot wouldn't be believable without using his actual eye. The whole thing became worse when Davidson's co-star had a hard time getting his lines right and made the situation go on longer than it should have. Eventually, one of the doctors had to step in to prevent any actual damage being done to their leading man's vision. The actor recalled: I heard, in the corner, one of the doctors went to the director and goes, 'Yeah, in about 30 more seconds there's gonna be some real damage.' So I take the thing off. I'm like squirting it with water and stuff. I'm like, 'What the hell just happened?' And then we're watching it in video village and the director goes, 'Yeah, it didn't have to be your eye.' Clearly, this was a case of a director being a little overzealous when it came to realism in movies. However, I do think the film benefits from Davidson telling this story, as it will likely make the scene even scarier knowing the actor's actual safety is at risk. This is some serious commitment from Davidson, who probably could have refused or asked for a double to be used. The 31-year-old might be new to the horror movie game, but he is seemingly all in and is ready to put himself in the hot seat for the sake of a good shot. It seems like this experience didn't sour things either, as the comedian has expressed interest in joining The Purge franchise. I'm here for this era, and I can't wait to see where he goes from here. You can see Pete Davidson in The Home when it hits the big screen on July 25, 2025. For more information on other exciting titles heading to the big screen this year, make sure to consult our 2025 movie schedule. Also, fans of the comedian should check out our feature on Davidson's best movies and TV shows, to see where else you can watch the actor.
