Austin Butler and Tom Hardy’s upcoming film, The Bikeriders, has arrived – check it out below.From Midnight Special writer and director Jeff Nichols, the film was due to arrive last year but was put on hold due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.The official synopsis for the film from Focus Features reads: “The Bikeriders follows the rise of a midwestern motorcycle club, the Vandals. Seen through the lives of its members, the club evolves over a decade from a gathering place for local outsiders into a more sinister gang, threatening the original group’s unique way of life.”The story is centred around the character of Benny (played by Butler), who joins The Vandals.

“Some people would rather crash than slow down.” So goes the zinger in the latest trailer for Jeff Nichols‘ “The Bikeriders,” which finally hits theaters this summer.

personal with “Dune: Part Two” star Austin Butler.Sting, 72, who played the villain Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in the original 1984 movie “Dune,” met “Elvis” star Butler at the “Dune: Part Two” premiere Sunday in New York City — and offered him not advice but a piece of his movie wardrobe.“I met him last night. He came to the premiere,” Butler, 32, said during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday.

Austin Butler‘s breakout came from a Method acting performance for the ages in Baz Luhrmann‘s “Elvis,” with the actor living in the role on camera and off for about three years. But Butler wasn’t about to do that for Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in “Dune: Part Two“.

“Dune: Part Two,” which hits theaters March 1.“I’ve definitely in the past, with ‘Elvis,’ explored living within that world for three years and that being the only thing that I think about day and night,” Butler told the Los Angeles Times in an interview with the movie’s director, Denis Villeneuve.“With Feyd, I knew that that would be unhealthy for my family and friends.”Butler was so immersed in playing Elvis Presley in “Elvis” that, for a long time after finishing his role on the movie, he still spoke in Presley’s Southern drawl.Villeneuve joked that, if Butler absorbed himself as much in Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen as he did with Presley, it would also be unhealthy for the director.“So I made a conscious decision to have a boundary,” Butler said. “It allowed for more freedom between action and cut because I knew I was going to protect everybody else outside of the context of what we were doing.“That’s not to say that it doesn’t bleed into your life,” he said.

posed Thursday at the much-anticipated franchise film’s premiere in Seoul, South Korea, the trio didn’t offer up your standard, simmering red-carpet moves. Instead, the performers each cupped one of their hands to the side of their smiling faces in a half-heart shape as photographers captured the unified gesture.Some confused baby boomers and Gen Xers were likely left pondering, “What are they doing?”Other fans also clamored about another gesture in which Chalamet crossed his thumbs and index fingers, with one X user asking in all caps: “WHY IS TIMOTHEE DOING AEGYO????” It turns out Gen Zers Chalamet, 28, and Zendaya, 27, joined millennial Butler, 32, in embracing forms of the Asian country’s cultural mainstay aegyo (pronounced “ay-gyo”).WHY IS TIMOTHEE DOING AEGYO???? https://t.co/orYbeJNf4sThe gestures are popular ways of posing — or, in another form, speaking — to convey love or to signify something cute or adorable, reportedly with roots in the Joseon dynasty reaching back to the late 1300s, according to Rolling Stone.

As always, the 2024 Sundance Film Festival gave us several likely Oscar nominees. Keiran Culkin for “A Real Pain,” documentaries “Union” or “Daughters“,” and, potentially, Sebastian Stan for “A Different Man.” But there was no Best Picture player in the vein of “Past Lives” or “CODA” in Park City last month, at least, there didn’t seem to be.

Immense, remarkably captivating, imposing, and right on the edge of overblown, filmmaker Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two” is a spectacular blockbuster epic in the grandest sense of the tradition.

Earlier today, one of the last puzzles of the “Dune” puzzle came together. “The Queen’s Gambit” star Anya Taylor-Joy, who leads the upcoming “Mad Max: Furiosa” film, revealed she has a role in Dennis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two.” Who is she playing?

Variety reports that Anya Taylor-Joy joined the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Austin Butler for the upcoming blockbuster’s world premiere in London today, confirming that she has a role in the film.
