The Golden Globe- and Emmy-nominated actress will star in Lionsgate’s Portrait of God, from rising horror filmmaker Dylan Clark. Horror connoisseurs Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele are on board to produce.
“With Sam and Jordan, two of the genre’s most influential producers, the extraordinary Chase Infiniti starring, and Dylan at the helm, this is an exceptional creative team,” Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson said in a statement. “We believe they have all the ingredients for a film that is haunting, thought-provoking, and scary as hell.”
Infiniti is one of the most sought-after names in young Hollywood, coming off her roles in the Oscar-nominated film One Battle After Another and Hulu’s Handmaid’s Tale prequel The Testaments.
Clark is set to make his directorial feature film debut with Lionsgate’s upcoming Blair Witch movie.
Further details on the film have not yet been released, but a teaser posted to Lionsgate’s Instagram features an ominous quote from the Book of Exodus, “No man shall see me and live.”

Rapper Rick Ross appeared in court Thursday after he was arrested on two domestic violence charges.
The “Hustlin'” rapper, whose legal name is William Leonard Roberts, voluntarily surrendered to police in Miami Beach early Thursday morning and was booked into jail on charges of felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery, according to the Miami Beach Police Department.
In court, Ross’ attorney submitted a not guilty plea on his behalf.
The judge ordered Ross to stay away from the accuser, who was not publicly identified, and set bond at $5,000.
As he left jail later Thursday, Ross said he is “totally innocent.”
“I am totally innocent of these fabricated allegations made against me,” Ross said to reporters gathered outside.
ABC News has reached out to Ross’ attorney, Bradley Horenstein, for comment.
According to police, the charges stem from a domestic violence incident reported to police on Sept. 29. The alleged incident occurred Aug. 28 at a residence on Star Island, an exclusive neighborhood in Miami Beach.
The accuser told police that Ross “struck her multiple times during an altercation and restricted her breathing by twisting the collar of her hoodie” and provided photo documentation of her injuries, according to police.
According to the arrest affidavit, the accuser reported she and Ross had been in a relationship for the past year and lived together.
The woman told police that Ross accused her of lying to him.
Ross rose to fame with his 2006 debut studio album Port of Miami. He went on to start his own record label, Maybach Music Group, and has been nominated for nine Grammy Awards.

What happens to an aging serial killer? The season 2 trailer for Dexter: Resurrection shows Michael C. Hall’s killer-with-a-code Dexter Morgan as he grapples with that very question.
The trailer picks up with Dexter talking to someone on his kill table.
“I’m Dexter Morgan, the Bay Harbor Butcher,” he tells them. “Who?” they reply.
“Kids today, no sense of history,” Dexter laments.
We then see Dexter dealing with the realities of being in his 50s, as he crosses paths with both a veteran serial killer, played by Brian Cox, and a young, new murderer terrorizing New York City, played by Dan Stevens.
Dexter: Resurrection season 2, also starring Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott and James Remar, premieres on Paramount+ Oct. 30.
Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek Pinault on the set of ‘Without Blood.’ (Stefano C. Montesi)
When Angelina Jolie first read author Alessandro Baricco’s book Senza Sangue, it took her on a journey.
Jolie assumed she knew what was going to happen at the novel’s end. But as she kept reading, the actress, director and writer realized she had made the wrong assumptions about where the story was heading.
“Knowing all I knew about conflict or anger or what we do or revenge, I thought I knew where it was going. I thought I was quite sure where it was going,” Jolie told ABC Audio. “More than that, I thought I knew where I wanted it to go.”
Not only is Jolie familiar with survivors of real-life conflict through her humanitarian work, she’s also directed three films about war and conflict: In the Land of Blood and Honey, Unbroken and First They Killed My Father. She knows the expected story beats in projects like this. Most of the time it’s either “you get the revenge or you don’t” or “you get the resolution or you just don’t,” she said.
But Baricco’s novel does it all differently. Instead, it takes the two leads and has them sit across a table from each other and talk. They learn from each other’s experiences and decide they don’t actually want whatever revenge or resolution they thought they may have wanted prior.
“It matured me. It educated me to read the book,” Jolie said. “I think it’s an important thing to put out there today because there’s so much about being absolute on this side or that side or right or wrong or for or against.”
Jolie hopes audiences learn through this story that it’s OK to say “‘I don’t know’ and ‘I’m trying to listen’ and ‘I am trying to understand’ and ‘I’m still trying to figure out myself.'”
“For any person that’s had any level of trauma or conflict, I think it’s important to want to go more deeply and not just sit with being right,” Jolie said. “It’s an important discussion.”
Jolie adapted Baricco’s book into the screenplay for Without Blood, the new film that is currently playing in select theaters. When it came time to choose who would take on the starring role, Jolie looked to her Eternals co-star Salma Hayek.
Hayek said she and Jolie have “amazing creative teamwork” and that Jolie balances her out really well.
“I put this experience completely separate than any other experience I’ve ever had. It’s just not even, I cannot even compare,” Hayek said. “I’ve had other experiences that have been life-changing experiences in a different way, but this one has to do with the film because I had my judgment about what was happening and the book itself and the character itself. And throughout the process of making the film and being directed by her, I was so open.”
It wasn’t simply that Jolie was “an amazing director,” but Hayek said the film was a “very special experience” because of the knowledge Jolie has about the subject matter.
Jolie “understands war like very few people, because she has been in those places of conflict. And she understands the big scope. And the intimacy of just being a human in conflict,” Hayek said. “On top of it, she’s also an actress, so she understands us like no one. It was just … such a very special set of circumstances coming together that it’s very hard for them to happen again.”

Jennifer Lawrence is set to star in an upcoming film from director Zach Cregger.
Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema have announced that Lawrence will take on the leading role in the science-fiction thriller The Flood. This original movie will be written, directed and produced by the Resident Evil, Weapons and Barbarian director, Cregger.
While plot details are being kept under water, Amblin Entertainment is set to produce the movie alongside Roy Lee and Miri Yoon from Vertigo Entertainment.
Warner Bros. Pictures’ Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy said in a press release that “Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most gifted and compelling actors working today, and we are thrilled to have her at the center of Zach’s bold and wholly original vision for The Flood.”
The pair continued, “Following our extraordinary experience together on Weapons, we could not be more excited to reunite with Zach and the team at Vertigo, as well as Amblin to bring this ambitious film to audiences around the world.”
Likewise, Cregger said the Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema team “were an absolute dream to collaborate with on Weapons, and I couldn’t be happier to dive in with them again. Jennifer is one of a kind, and I’m beyond excited to see her in this role.”
Weapons was released in 2025 and earned $270 million worldwide. The original horror film from Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema also earned an Oscar for best supporting actress for Amy Madigan’s performance as Aunt Gladys. She is set to reprise the character in the film’s upcoming sequel, Gladys.
The Flood will release in theaters on Aug. 11, 2028.

Ashley Padilla has been revealed as one of the three TIME100 Next cover stars for 2026. The comedian was recognized as one of 100 emerging leaders, including a group of notable entertainers TIME described as the world’s most influential rising stars.
Among the celebrities included on this year’s list are Curry Barker, Isa Briones, Eiza González, Molly Gordon, Yerin Ha, Joshua Henry, Cooper Hoffman, Chase Infiniti, Joey King, Charles Melton, Sarah Pidgeon, Dominic Sessa, Troye Sivan and Chase Sui Wonders.
Bob Odenkirk penned an essay about Padilla to coincide with the recognition.
“She creates beautiful, human comedy out of small moments, with precision and joy that somehow always comes from a place of love. Sketch comedy can crystallize the human condition like no other art form—it beats ol’ Shakespeare hands down—and Ashley delivers on this promise,” Odenkirk wrote. “She shows us recognizable people who, in compromised moments, fight like hell to restore their dignity; who can’t let it go; and who remind us of us … if we can take it.”
Padilla also spoke to TIME about her experience working on Saturday Night Live.
“I find it so collaborative and fun,” Padilla said. “Everyone’s just trying to make people laugh—it can’t be too serious.”

The Mormon wives are headed to the West Coast.
Hulu has announced the release date for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives‘ upcoming spinoff series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County. The brand-new show is set to premiere all 10 episodes of its first season on Nov. 12.
“A new group of dynamic young mothers in Orange County collide in a community where beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity. While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo,” according to the show’s official synopsis. “Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield as this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok.”
The cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County includes Ashleigh Pease, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, Bobbi Althoff, Jordan McClanahan, Madison Bontempo, McCall DaPron and Salomé Andrea.
Additionally, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck trades in Utah for California as she moves from the original show to the cast of this new spinoff series.
Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives debuted on Hulu Sept. 10. The show has already been renewed for seasons 6 and 7, despite many of its cast recently announcing supposed departures from the program.
Whitney Leavitt had long been planning to depart the show after season 5. In recent weeks, both Taylor Frankie Paul and Mikayla Matthews insinuated in social media posts that they would not return for future seasons. Fans assume with Affleck’s turn on the Orange County spinoff that she will also leave the original show. If so, this leaves Jessi Draper, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley and Miranda Hope as the four remaining original cast members on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
