William Earl Cult sketch group Whitest Kids U’ Know has had countless collaborations, most notably a five-season run of their eponymous IFC series. Their most recently announced project is an animated film named “Mars,” which was in development before the 2021 death of member Trevor Moore. During the press cycle of his latest directorial effort, “Barbarian,” WKUK member Zach Cregger gave an update on the project. “We had written a movie called ‘Mars’ and the plan was always for it to be an animated feature,” Cregger said. “Before Trevor died, we recorded all of his dialogue, and we’ve crowdfunded the budget for this movie. It’s like $300,000, a little more. And we’re currently making it, I think we’re going to wrap it up in about a month or so and I think it’s great.”

25 million viewers from around the world in its first 24 hours — a galvanizing start for the streamer’s new franchise.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Imagine showing up for an Airbnb rental, only to discover that another guest is already there. What would you do? Check in anyway and hope for the best? Or take the mix-up as a sign and get the heck out? In “Barbarian,” Tess (Georgina Campbell) makes the wrong decision. It’s already late, and she decides to stay — this despite the fact that the stranger sharing the house is played by Bill Skarsgård (the actor who embodied Pennywise in the recent “It” remake). For audiences, this casting is a clue Tess is in for a scary stay. But it would be wrong to think you have “Barbarian” figured out. For Tess, there are plenty of other red flags in the way her unexpected roommate behaves. Should she really believe they double-booked the same place in a derelict Detroit neighborhood? Or is there another reason he’s there? What if he’s some kind of rapist or axe murderer? Is the flimsy lock on her bedroom enough to protect her should he turn violent? Tess does have certain survival instincts (she’s sharp enough to decline a drink from this guy, who calls himself “Keith”), and she has empathy, too, which will become kind of a defining characteristic later on, when things get super-crazy and you just want her to get out of town as fast as possible.
