Robert Pattinson stars in the official trailer for Primetime.

A24 released a new trailer for the upcoming drama-thriller film on Thursday. It finds Pattinson in character as Chris Hansen, the host of To Catch a Predator.

Primetime comes from Lance Oppenheim, who directs from a script by Ajon Singh. Along with Pattinson, the movie stars Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Matthew Maher and Bokeem Woodbine.

Its official logline reads, “In 2006, To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history.” In a similar vein, the film’s first poster includes the tagline, “Are you ready to make television history?”

This new trailer follows Pattinson in character as Hansen as he surprises a predator, played by Tony Revolori.

“Won’t you have a seat right there?” Pattinson says to the man. “I’m Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC, and we’re doing a story on adults who try to meet teens online. You see how this looks, right?”

Later, we see an NBC executive speak to Pattinson’s Hansen and Weaver’s character, who is his producer.

“I don’t really like your show. But America loves it. So I need to move you. To Catch a Predator. Nine p.m. Primetime,” he says.

To Catch a Predator ran from 2004 to 2007 on NBC. It aired only 20 episodes, but was massively popular at the time.

Primetime releases in theaters nationwide on Sept. 25.

Godzilla Minus Zero is headed to New York City.

Film at Lincoln Center has announced that Godzilla Minus Zero will make its world premiere as the Spotlight Gala selection for the 64th New York Film Festival on Sept. 26.

Godzilla Minus Zero is the direct sequel to the 2023 Japanese film Godzilla Minus One. It is written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki. The first film was a surprise international hit and eventually won the Oscar for best visual effects. It earned $116 million worldwide at the box office, making it the highest-grossing Japanese Godzilla film.

This sequel film takes place in the year 1949, “two years after the tumultuous events of Godzilla Minus One, and continues the story of the Shikishima family as they face an all-new calamity,” according to its official description. “Godzilla Minus Zero cranks up the terror while always keeping its post-WWII Japan narrative at human eye level.”

The location of this world premiere is apt, as the last moments of the film’s trailer find Godzilla stomping toward the Statue of Liberty on his way to New York City.

“It is truly an honor to introduce our film to a global audience for the first time in a place of such history and prestige,” Yamazaki said. “I am filled with both awe and excitement to see how far the power of Japan’s Godzilla can terrify audiences around the world, and whether they will resonate with what lies beyond that fear.”

Dennis Lim, the NYFF artistic director, said Yamazaki “continues to prove that there’s life in the old franchise” even “more than 70 years after the first Godzilla movie.”

“Like its predecessor, Godzilla Minus Zero is a throwback blockbuster, a showcase for human drama and innovative craft, and we are excited to have its world premiere as this year’s NYFF Spotlight Gala,” Lim continued.

Godzilla Minus Zero releases in the U.S. on Nov. 6 and in Japan on Nov. 3.

Bowen Yang is headed to Broadway.

The actor and comedian will make his Broadway debut by taking on the starring role of Mary Todd Lincoln in the Tony Award-winning play Oh, Mary!

Yang’s run in the production will be a limited 12-week engagement starting on Sept. 15 and ending on Dec. 6.

Oh, Mary!‘s official Instagram shared a poster with Yang adorned in Mary’s signature bratty curls. The account also posted a video of Yang as he finds a mirror that has the phrase “I don’t think so, honey” written in all caps using red lipstick. It’s a reference to the segment of the same name from Yang’s podcast, Las Culturistas. The phrase then changes to, “I don’t Linc so, honey.”

Cole Escola created, wrote and won a Tony for starring in Oh, Mary! The show is a one-act comedy play centered on Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to her husband Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.

Yang took to his Instagram to announce the news of his casting.

“My friendship with Cole has brought me many places over the years: late-night pizzerias, cross-borough social-distance walks, a tough production of Les Misérables sung in Dutch,” Yang said in a statement obtained by Variety, which he posted on his Instagram Story. “But being part of their deranged and profound masterpiece, Oh, Mary! is my favorite one by far. I will spend the rest of my life thanking them for the best Broadway debut a cis gay guy with limited singing ability could ask for.”

Ariana Grande, Yang’s friend and Wicked co-star, took to the comments of his announcement post to share her excitement over the news.

“this is the best day of my life,” Grande commented.

Meg Stalter is currently starring as Mary Todd Lincoln in the production. She made her Broadway debut through this limited run. Her final performance in the role will be Sept. 12.

Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables and again when I visited with my best friend in my early 20s,” Fortune told Netflix. “That vacation, the beauty of the island, the warmth of its people, and the friendships that sustain us are the foundation of This Summer Will Be Different. I’m thrilled to bring this sweeping love story to the screen with Netflix and to transport audiences to the glittering shores and windswept beaches of PEI.”
