Two human stars of the upcoming release “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” say they are on the side of the animals due to the current state of the planet. The Associated Press shared a clip of stars Freya Allan and Owen Teague discussing the topic while promoting their new film. “I’m fully team ape,” Teague says in the clip.  Allan agreed with that assessment. “Listen, I’m obviously — when I’m playing Mae, I’m team human, but I’m team ape — Freya’s team ape.” “I mean look at the planet — oh here we go …” she added, acknowledging that her statements would cause controversy among listeners. “Look at what the humans have done to the Earth,” Teague added.  Allan also said she was disappointed with human behavior, especially in regard to their approach to environmental protection.  “Well yeah, I dislike humans a lot,” the 22-year-old actress said. “You know, you know there’s the odd one that’s like — no I mean you know, there are times when you see humans come together and you go, ‘oh isn’t this lovely’, and there are times you go — I absolutely hate us!” "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" stars Freya Allan and Owen Teague say they're both "Team Ape" and agree that humans have hurt the planet with war and environmental devastation. pic.twitter.com/pP119K0Lhq — AP Entertainment (@APEntertainment) May 13, 2024 “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” was released on May 8. The sci-fi action film is the fourth installment in the reboot franchise, which is based upon French author Pierre Boulle’s 1963 novel “La Planète des singes,” which, translated, means “Planet of the Apes” or “Monkey Planet.” Since its debut, there have been multiple film and TV adaptations, including five films between 1968 and 1973, a remake in 2001, and a reboot of the series beginning in 2011. The story depicts a world where humans and super-intelligent apes vie for control of civilization. The latest film imagines a world where the apes rule and humans are feral creatures. The “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” description on IMDb says, “As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.” The latest “Apes” movie had a strong opening weekend, collecting $58.5 million in sales.

News house of the dragon House of the Dragon Season 2 Trailer Sees No One Winning, Not Even the Dragons Get ready to update the spreadsheet you’ll need to keep track of everyone. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 14, 2024 Credit: Theo Whitman/HBO Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Theo Whitman/HBO Westeros is at war, and neither side looks like they’ll really win in the latest trailer for House of the Dragon’s second season. In it, we see the two warring factions, respectively represented by Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) and Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke), ready to get bloody in their quest to hold the iron throne. The trailer also teases that Rhaenyra’s uncle-husband Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) might not be so gung ho to follow her as the ruler of Westeros, and that Alicent’s children, particularly the one-eyed Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) and Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney), are more than willing to play dirty to win. It’s no surprise that things are going to go badly—very, very, badly—for both sides in this violent political struggle that takes place roughly two hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones. The cast of characters we all need to keep straight has also increased. In addition to the actors above returning, we’ll see Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans in the upcoming episodes, as well as Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall, and Matthew Needham. We’ll also have to keep a whole new slew of characters straight, including Abubakar Salim as Alyn of Hull, Gayle Rankin as Alys Rivers, Freddie Fox as Ser Gwayne Hightower, Simon Russell Beale as Ser Simon Strong, Clinton Liberty as Addam of Hull, Jamie Kenna as Ser Alfred Broome, Kieran Bew as Hugh Hammer, Tom Bennett as Ulf, Tom Taylor as Lord Cregan Stark, and Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne. The second season of House of the Dragon premieres on HBO on June 16, 2024, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, and will also be available for streaming on Max. Check out the latest trailer below.

News The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Prepare Yourself for Sexy Sauron in The Rings of Power Season 2 Trailer Middle-earth’s most problematic bad boy is back, baby! By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 14, 2024 Credit: Prime Video Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Prime Video Sauron is back in the trailer for the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and this time he’s taken on a fair elven form to trick those who seek to destroy him. The teaser does more than give us a glimpse of Charlie Vickers’ Sauron once more; it also includes the well-known J.R.R. Tolkien line, “Darkness binds them,” and shows us the three rings of power created (and also bound to Sauron’s One Ring, whether they know it or not!) to fight against Sauron no matter what confusingly attractive guise he takes. Here’s the synopsis for the upcoming episodes: In Season Two of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season One’s epic scope and ambition, the new season plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all… each other. Trying to defeat the Dark Lord, it seems, is really about the friends you make along the way. The Rings of Power Season Two premieres on Prime Video on August 29, 2024. Check out the trailer below.

News Megalopolis Megalopolis Trailer Teases a Trippy, Mind-Bending Fable from Francis Ford Coppola Some of us here are VERY EXCITED. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 14, 2024 Credit: Francis Ford Coppola Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Francis Ford Coppola Francis Ford Coppola has called Megalopolis “the best work I’ve ever had the privilege to preside over.” The recently released trailer gives us a taste of the film, which looks like a trippy, surreal musing on what makes a civilized society, what it takes to uplift it—or have it all come crashing down.   Here’s the synopsis: Megalopolis is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero (Nathalie Emmanuel), the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves. In addition to Driver, Esposito, and Emmanuel, Megalopolis stars Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, Kathryn Hunter, Grace VanderWaal, Chloe Fineman, James Remar, D.B. Sweeney, and Dustin Hoffman. It is written, directed, and produced(!) by Coppola, and also produced by Fred Roos, Barry Hirsch, and Michael Bederman. Anahid Nazarian, Barrie Osborne, and Darren Demetre serve as executive producers. The movie will make its theatrical debut at this year’s Cannes Film Festival on May 16, 2024. No news yet on when exactly it will make it to theaters so normies like us can watch it, but it should be sometime in 2024. While we wait, check out the trailer for Megalopolis below.
