Jude Law and Vanessa Kirby star in Ron Howard’s film ‘Eden.’ (Jasin Boland)
The shocking true story of a group of outsiders who abandoned civilization to live on a remote island comes to life in Eden.
Ron Howard directed the new film, which arrives in theaters on Friday, and he says the idea for it first came about 15 years ago.
“I was on a family vacation in the Galápagos, which had been one of those bucket list items from childhood,” Howard told ABC Audio.
His daughter Bryce Dallas Howard joined him on the once-in-a-lifetime trip. There, the pair learned about Dr. Friedrich Ritter, the Wittmers and the other real-life European settlers who lived on Floreana Island in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, in the 1920s.
“We went to the museum of the Galápagos and one whole room was dedicated to this group of people and this true crime thriller that emerged from their adventures. Bryce immediately said, ‘I think this is a movie.’ And I said, ‘I think it might be, too.’ And I started doing the research,” Howard said.
The rest of their Galápagos trip was spent learning as much as they could. The idea stayed with Howard, evolving to the point where he felt it was time to finally make this movie.
“You can’t write this sort of thing,” Howard said of the true story, which has a star-studded cast including JudeLaw, Sydney Sweeney, Ana de Armas and Vanessa Kirby.
“You had to love it and be sort of creatively committed to the idea of bringing these kinds of characters to the screen, because things get pretty radical and pretty extreme, and they had to be ready to go there,” Howard said of his cast. “They really did. And they brought so much nuance and depth and emotion to the process that I was really moved and thrilled by the collaboration. It meant a lot to me.”

The cast of Dawson’s Creek is reuniting for a good cause.
For the first time since the series wrapped in 2003, the cast is coming together in New York City for a live reading of the teen drama’s pilot episode in support of F Cancer and James Van Der Beek, who is currently battling stage 3 colorectal cancer.
Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, Mary Beth Peil, John Wesley Shipp, Mary-Margaret Humes, Nina Repeta, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe and Busy Philipps are participating.
Smith, Monroe and Philipps, who joined the show after the first season, will be reading various parts in the pilot.
The reading will take place one night only on Sept. 22 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. PT on Broadway Direct.
Van Deer Beek, who played Dawson Leery in the series, revealed his cancer diagnosis in November.
Jennifer Aniston as Alex Levy in ‘The Morning Show.’ (Apple)
The official trailer for season 4 of The Morning Show has arrived.
Apple TV+ released the trailer for the upcoming fourth season of the hit drama series on Wednesday.
Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon star in and executive produce the new season, which picks up almost two years after the events of season 3.
“With the UBA-NBN merger complete, the newsroom must grapple with newfound responsibility, hidden motives and the elusive nature of truth in a polarized America,” according to the season’s official synopsis. “In a world rife with deepfakes, conspiracy theories and corporate cover-ups — who can you trust? And how can you know what’s actually real?”
The trailer starts with Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson staring up at the UBN building, the workplace of the new network that resulted from the merger of UBA and NBN back in season 3.
“I’m a firm believer in second chances,” Bradley says. “Maybe this is an opportunity to make it right.”
Aniston’s Alex Levy, who proposed the merger after finding out what Jon Hamm‘s character Paul Marks had planned for the network, agrees with her.
“This is a reset, a different company, a different culture,” Alex says.
Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Greta Lee and Nicole Beharie also star in the season.
The Morning Show season 4 premieres on Sept. 17. One new episode will debut weekly through Nov. 19.

Archie Andrews is headed to the big screen.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are set to produce an Archie Comics film for Universal Pictures, ABC Audio has confirmed.
The producing duo behind the animated Spider-Verse films will take on this project with Aditya Sood, the president of Lord Miller, through Lord Miller’s first-look deal with Universal Pictures. Former 20th Century Studios film boss Emma Watts brought the project to Lord Miller and will also produce it.
Tom King, who wrote the DC comic book Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow that was just adapted for the big screen and is releasing in theaters next summer, is set to write the film’s screenplay.
While plot details for the upcoming Archie Comics film are being kept under wraps, it will tell the story of the group of friends who live in Riverdale who were made famous in the long-running comic book franchise.
“We are longtime fans of Archie, Veronica, Betty, and the gang in all of their iterations. When we heard Tom King’s take on the classic material, we instantly thought it made sense as an event movie for all audiences—both lifelong fans and a whole new generation. We’re so excited to bring these beloved characters to the big screen,” Lord and Miller said.
Archie Comics have sold over 3 billion comics published in dozens of languages over the course of its nearly 85-year history, according to Universal Pictures.
Additionally, over 20 million copies of the hit single “Sugar, Sugar” by the fictional rock band The Archies, as featured on the ’60s animated sitcom The Archie Show, have been sold worldwide.
The Archie Comics were recently adapted into the CW series Riverdale, which ran from 2017 to 2023 and starred KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes.

Aubrey Plaza is opening up about her grief following the death of her late husband Jeff Baena earlier this year.
Plaza touched on the topic during a recent appearance on her former Parks and Recreation co-star AmyPoehler‘s podcast.
“I think, like, I’m OK. But you know, it’s like a daily struggle,” Plaza told Poehler.
Baena, a film director and screenwriter, died in January at the age of 47. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed Baena’s death to ABC News at the time and said Baena had died of suicide.
Plaza told Poehler that she felt “happy” to be recording the podcast together and was “grateful” to be alive.
“Right in this very, very present moment, I feel happy to be with you,” said Plaza. “I feel, overall, I’m here and I’m functioning — and I feel, you know, like I feel really grateful to be moving through the world.”
The 41-year-old also compared grief and loss to the 2025 thriller The Gorge, which starred Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy as two operatives who get sent to guard opposite sides of a mysterious gorge.
“In the movie … there’s a cliff on one side, and then there’s a cliff on the other side, and then there’s [a] gorge in between, and it’s filled with all these, like, monster people that are trying to get them,” Plaza explained. “I swear, when I watched it, I was like, ‘That feels like what my grief is like’ … or what grief could be like, where it’s like, at all times, there’s a giant ocean of just awfulness that’s, like, right there, and I can see it. And like, sometimes, I just want to just dive into it and just be in it. And then sometimes, I just look at it. And then sometimes, I’m like, I just try to get away from it, but it’s always there. It’s just always there, and the monster people are trying to get me, like Miles [Teller’s character].”

Ariana DeBose‘s mother, Gina Michelle DeBose, died Sunday morning “due to complications with stage 3 ovarian cancer,” the actress and singer said this week.
The West Side Story star took to Instagram on Tuesday, posting a carousel of photos and a tribute to her “gorgeous, hilarious, outspoken, warrior queen Mother.”
“I couldn’t be more proud of her and how she fought this insidious disease over the past 3 years. She was 57 years young,” DeBose wrote in the caption.
“She was my favorite person, my biggest fan and toughest critic. My best friend. She was my date to every important moment in my professional and personal life – and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” the post continued. “It had always been the two of us for as long as I can remember.”
DeBose said her mom “fought like hell to give me a good life, a good education and every opportunity in the world. I wouldn’t be where I am without her.”
The Academy Award winner recalled a moment from her 2022 Oscars acceptance speech — delivered after winning the award for best supporting actress for her role as Anita in West Side Story — writing, “I meant it when I said my Oscar ‘is just as much hers as it is mine.'”
DeBose also highlighted her mom’s purpose in life, to educate young people.
“She passed just shy of delivering 30 years of service as a public school teacher,” she wrote. “She was beloved and incredibly respected by her colleagues and students alike. The greatest advocate for the underdog, a believer in arts education and the smartest person I know – with a willingness to speak her mind regardless of the consequences.”
She added that her “greatest and most proud achievement will always be to have made her proud.”
In one of the carousel photos, DeBose left a detailed note outlining where people could donate in her mother’s memory.
“Details for a celebration of her life will be made available in the coming weeks,” the note read. “At this time, I ask that my family’s privacy be respected.”
A representative for DeBose did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.
