RELATED: IFC Films’ Tesla Trailer Starring Ethan Hawke in Biographical Drama

The film, written, directed, and produced by Michael Almerevda (Hamlet), follows inventor Nikola Tesla (Hawke) as he fights an uphill battle to bring his revolutionary electrical system to fruition. Increasingly displeased by the greed of fellow inventor Thomas Edison (Kyle MacLachlan, Twin Peaks), Tesla forges his own virtuous but arduous path toward creating the innovative alternate-current motor. His European nature is at odds with budding American industrialism and the landscape of intellectual property is treacherous and Tesla slowly becomes jailed in his overactive mind. His associate, Anne Morgan (Eve Hewson, The Knick), analyzes and presents his story as it unfolds, offering a distinctly modern voice in this scientific period drama.

In addition to Hawke, Hewson, and MacLachlan, the cast for Tesla features Jim Gaffigan (The Jim Gaffigan Show) as entrepreneur George Westinghouse, Donnie Keshawarz (The Wolf of Wall Street), Rebecca Dayan (Celeste & Jesse Forever), Josh Hamilton (Eighth Grade) and Lucy Walters (Power).

Before there was Bugs and Basketball, there was Bugs and Baseball.

“Baseball Bugs” – WB Looney Tunes

S. Preston’s love for baseball and cartoons has garnered him national acclaim and various officially licensed MINIMALIST collections that combine pop culture with sports mascots and iconography. In 2016, S. Preston’s artwork made the permanent archives of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY, and he is a lifetime member of the coveted institution. MINIMALIST Baseball Bugs is an MLB official license release inspired by the beloved “Baseball Bugs” short, which debuted in 1946. The print features Bugs Bunny winding up for the perfect pitch–in a match against himself probably!

“There’s something magical about mashups – two of our favorite brands mixed into one. My childhood mashup was Saturday mornings with my cereal bowl and flipping back and forth between baseball and cartoons. This memory is such a distinct part of growing up that illustrating Baseball Bugs came naturally,” said S. Preston. “It’s incredibly gratifying to have two massive brands like MLB and Warner Bros come together to take a chance on my vision. I’m so proud to be able to bring this extremely unique artwork to my fans of baseball and pop culture.”

Minimalist Baseball Bugs – MLB Edition are available for pre-order today! Baseball fans can select from the 30 MLB clubs in variants of Bugs donning their favorite team’s jersey colors and logo on his cap.

“Big League Beast” – WB Looney Tunes

A certificate of authenticity will be slapped onto every print and include a hand number, and artist signature. There are limited quantities available of 50 variants per team, with an MSRP of $80.00. Fans can also purchase an Open Edition option of Baseball Bugs with a team-branded cap and white baseball jersey.

Currently Bugs can be seen in the Looney Tunes Cartoons relaunch that are a true return to the classic form of Looney Tunes on HBOMAX. Within the launch, you’ll find a Baseball Bugs inspired short entitled “Big League Beast” featuring Bugs Bunny and Gossamer. During a stormy night, Bugs gets ready to watch the big game but suddenly his cable goes out due to the inclement weather. He stumbles upon an old castle in hopes that they might have a good hook up and Bugs finds himself in way over his head as the evil scientist who lives there has a monstrous security system in form of Gossamer, the giant red-haired beast. The short is not only a faithful representation of the classic characters, but it takes a modern spin on the comedic style that keeps it fresh and prime for repeat viewings.

The Chuck Jones Gallery teamed with S. Preston in 2018 where he provided illustrations for the Warner Bros. brand in his own unique style covering the classic characters while taking inspiration from the individual shorts. While MINIMALIST BASEBALL BUGS – MLB EDITION is the first Chuck Jones Gallery licensed print available for purchase, you will find the Minimalist Looney Tunes designs by S. Preston across the country within art galleries hosting exhibits featuring his larger collection.

Alden Ehrenreich teases possible Solo return

Solo: A Star Wars Story flopped at the box office, which meant a sequel that would explore some of the films’ cliffhangers — particularly that Darth Maul cameo — was unlikely to happen. Yet, in a recent interview with Esquire, the film’s star Alden Ehrenreich teased a possible return for Han Solo in some capacity.

“I’ve heard sooooome stuff,” he said, “but nothing concrete.”

Ok. That’s not much to go on, but it is something. In the same interview, Ehrenreich discussed his three-year hiatus away from the public eye following Solo‘s release.

“[It] was basically a three-year experience from pre-production to the release of the movie,” he explains. “And I just wanted to be a person, connect with people in my life, spend time and develop as a person outside of those worlds. And then you never know.”

He also said he would be willing to come back if “it feels innate to the story,” but also revealed he has yet to see either The Rise of Skywalker or The Mandalorian.

“No, I don’t know anything about that. I mean, you know, I think our movie was kind of the last of the conventional-era Star Wars movie release time.”

Solo was a good Star Wars movie, but not a great one. Although, it planted some pretty cool seeds for future exploration. Hopefully we can see some of those seeds blossom into something unique in some way shape or form.

Directed by Ron Howard, the fun-filled galactic heist movie stars Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Paul Bettany. Joonas Suotamo returns to play Chewbacca.

Written by Jonathan Kasdan & Lawrence Kasdan, Solo: A Star Wars Story is produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur and Simon Emanuel. Lawrence Kasdan, Jason McGatlin, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are executive producers.

Day one #uncharted

A post shared by Tom Holland (@tomholland2013) on Jul 15, 2020 at 12:59am PDT

RELATED: Tom Holland Confirms Uncharted will be a Nathan Drake Origin Story

Set to be directed by Zombieland and Venom director Ruben Fleischer, Uncharted will be a prequel to the game series, taking its basis from the sequence in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception wherein the young thief Nathan Drake (Holland) first encounters his partner Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) and in essence, sets up the events of the entire game franchise.

Joining Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg are Academy Award-nominated actor Antonio Banderas (The Mask of Zorro, Pain and Glory), Grey’s Anatomy actress Sophia Ali and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Tati Gabrielle.

Based on the action-adventure video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune from Naughty Dog and Sony Interactive, the story follows a descendant of explorer Sir Francis Drake, a treasure hunter named Nate Drake who believes he has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue. The search becomes competitive when a rival hunter joins the fray, then is escalated when creatures — actually mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis — begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure’s true secrets.

Uncharted is an Arad/Atlas Entertainment Production, with Charles Roven, Avi Arad, Alex Gartner, and Ari Arad producing. The film will serve as the first feature produced by PlayStation Productions.

Despite previous drafts by the likes of Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty), Oscar nominee David O. Russell, Doctor Strange‘s Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, Safe House‘s David Guggenheim, and Joe Carnahan, the new draft of the screenplay is written by Rafe Judkins, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway.

Travis Knight became the sixth director to leave the project in its decade-long development cycle which began with Russell attached to direct followed by Neil Burger (Limitless), Seth Gordon (Baywatch), Shawn Levy (Free Guy) and Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane)

The film, being written and directed by the Twisted Twins and entitled Unseen, will center on a Boston couple as they wake up blind and in a terrifying world they don’t recognize, struggling as they feel their sanity slipping and sensing the presence of a strange new species.

“Unseen is a horror film experience completely unlike any other before it,” the Soskas said in a statement. “This film will truly bring the fear of the unknown to life by putting the focus of storytelling on what you hear.”

The project is currently in development at Radar Picture after the Ted Field-ran production banner landed the film rights to the game, with Field (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror) attached to executive produce.
