The first teaser for A Very Jonas Christmas Movie has arrived.
The holiday film, which will debut on Disney+ Nov. 14, finds the Jonas Brothers — Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas — attempting to travel from London to New York to spend Christmas with their families, and encountering unexpected obstacles along the way.
In the teaser, we see the brothers taking planes, trains and automobiles to get home, only to end up in a forest being menaced by a pack of wolves. “I’m sorry we never got to hear you sing, Kevin!” yells a terrified Joe. “I’m sure your voice is pretty OK!” “Thank you!” replies an equally terrified Kevin.
Notably, the movie was shot before Joe and Nick — and their fans — finally did hear Kevin sing. He debuted his first-ever solo song at a show in Boston in August.
In addition to the group, the cast of the film includes Randall Park, Laverne Cox, KJ Apa, Andrea Martin, Billie Lourd, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Santa and Kenny G as himself. At least that explains why, back in February, Jonas Brothers posted a video of themselves watching Kenny G playing in their trailer.
ABC News’ Michael Strahan interviews Charlie Sheen about his new memoir, ‘The Book of Sheen. (ABC)
Charlie Sheen has admitted he was a sex addict who was extorted by his sexual partners during the height of his drug abuse that made headlines and nearly cost him his acting career.
Sheen had sex with men during that time, but kept it secret due to being extorted, the actor told Good Morning America co-anchor Michael Strahan in an interview that aired Friday on GMA.
“It did come with a tremendous amount of extortion,” Sheen told Strahan. “And so at the time, I was just like, ‘Alright, let’s just pay to keep it quiet. And just hope it just stays over there, make it go away, you know? Make it go away.'”
Sheen, 60, said that over the years he felt like he was being “held hostage” by choosing to pay people instead of risking his secrets being made public.
“I just need to be free of that … and then see how the world feels if people know that stuff,” he said of his decision to speak publicly. “Because I’ve written a story all these years about, ‘Oh jeez, if I ever reveal that, then this has to be how I’d be dealt with, how I’d be treated, how they’d feel.'”
Sheen, the Golden Globe-winning star of hit TV shows and movies including Platoon and Two and a Half Men, writes in his own words about his past scandals and turmoil in his new memoir, The Book of Sheen, about which he spoke to Strahan.
In addition to his sex life, Sheen writes in the book, available on Sept. 9, about his HIV diagnosis and his decision to stop using drugs the same year he publicly announced his diagnosis, in 2015.
Sheen told Strahan he went on to quit alcohol in 2017 and has been completely sober since then.
Tune into “Good Morning America” on Monday, Sept. 8, at 7 a.m. ET on ABC for more of Michael Strahan’s interview with Charlie Sheen about his memoir, The Book of Sheen.

Preparation for the Next Life follows an undocumented immigrant and a U.S. war veteran who find an unexpected connection in one another.
Sebiye Behtiyar [seh-BEE-ya BEH-tee-yar] makes her feature film debut as Uyghur [WEE-gur] immigrant Aishe, who’s trying to make a life for herself in New York City. She forms a bond with troubled young war veteran Skinner, played by Fred Hechinger [HECK-in-jurr], and together they try to imagine a better future for themselves.
Behtiyar, who is of Uyghur descent and speaks three languages like her character, felt an immediate connection to the project, but didn’t assume she’d get the role because she was only just starting out.
“I wasn’t prepared for such a complex character as Aishe, but meeting all those incredible people [in the cast and crew] just gave me so [much] strength and support and love to just bring a little bit [of] myself and my understanding of this character,” she tells ABC Audio.
Hechinger says every cast and crew member “felt like they had a personal investment in the movie,” and both he and Behtiyar are eager for audiences to connect with the story as well, particularly given what’s going on with immigration in the U.S. today.
Behtiyar says she hopes the film reminds people we are all human beings who “share feelings” and “face different kinds of pain.”
“We made this movie because it spoke to our hearts and our lives,” Hechinger adds. “And it’s kind of wild that it’s coming out when it’s become even more relevant and important in that way, but I really just think everyone seeing it with their open heart is what counts.”

Michael Angelo Covino and Dakota Johnson in ‘Splitsville.’ (NEON)
A group of four adult friends navigate divorce, open relationships and the crossing of boundaries in the new movie Splitsville.
The comedy film, which expands to a wide theatrical release on Friday, stars Dakota Johnson, Adria Arjona, Kyle Marvin and Michael Angelo Covino.
Johnson, who also produced the film, said if there’s anything she’s taken away about marriage and relationships in general after Splitsville, it’s “that there’s infinite ways to explore relationship dynamics and love between humans.”
The actress says she thinks films that explore these themes are really helpful to people.
“This movie, we’re marketing it as an unromantic comedy, because it really is messy. It feels bad. It doesn’t end well,” Johnson said. “The people are hurting. And I think that a lot of people are hurting in the world. And I would love if we had movies that were honest portrayals of what human beings are really going through.”
Covino directed Splitsville from a script he cowrote with his costar and close friend Marvin.
He said while the ideas of open relationships that the film discusses may seem modern, they actually aren’t all that modern, “if we really think about it.”
“They’ve been around and people have been exploring the challenges of monogamy for quite some time. And certainly the pain and frustration and difficulty of betrayal and friendship and all these things,” Covino said.

New details about the live-action Street Fighter film adaptation have been revealed.
Paramount Pictures has announced that Legendary Pictures and Capcom’s new film based on the popular video game franchise will arrive in theaters on Oct. 16, 2026. The movie is currently in production and is being filmed for IMAX.
This new Street Fighter movie will be the first film released through Legendary’s new three-year global distribution deal with Paramount Pictures.
Kitao Sakurai is directing the film, which a press release says “will honor the quarter-pumping, button-mashing spirit of the 90s [sic] classic while leveling up for a new generation of fans.”
Noah Centineo is set to star as Ken Masters, while Andrew Koji will play Ryu. The film, which is set in 1993, follows their characters as they are thrown back into combat by the mysterious Chun-Li, played by Callina Liang.
The duo are recruited “for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury,” according to an official synopsis. “But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!”
Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Jason Momoa, David Dastmalchian, Cody Rhodes, Andrew Schulz, Eric André and Vidyut Jammwal make up the rest of the star-studded cast.
“Legendary has built a reputation for ambitious, globally appealing films, and we’re excited to be partnering with them,” Josh Greenstein and Dana Goldberg, the co-chairs of Paramount Pictures, said in a press release. “Street Fighter is the perfect start to our collaboration, which we believe will be strong and lasting.”

The trailer finds young wizard Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) fully part of the Russo family. She is coming to terms with the fact that this new dynamic might be more complicated than she previously thought it would be.
“Thanks to Roman and Milo’s new magical powers, Justin is now tasked with training three young wizards for the Family Wizard Competition,” according to the season 2 synopsis. “As the stakes rise inside and outside the family, a mysterious new threat emerges, one that could unravel the Russos forever.”
David Henrie reprises his role of Justin Russo in season 2 of the series, which also stars Alkaio Thiele, MaxMatenko, Taylor Cora and Mimi Gianopulos.
Executive producer Selena Gomez also reprises her guest role of Alex Russo this season. The trailer finds her asleep on a couch as Justin and his family make a surprise appearance in her home.
“You could’ve given me a heads-up before you just showed up on my doorstep,” Alex tells Justin.
“Like the heads-up you gave me before you showed up on my doorstep with Billie?” he says back, to which she responds, “Touché.”
Wizards Beyond Waverly Place premieres the first two episodes of season 2 Sept. 12 on Disney Channel. All episodes of the season will be available to stream Oct. 8 on Disney+.
