Demi Moore is getting to “The Substance” of the issue.The 62-year-old recently revealed that early in her career, she developed an eating disorder and went through periods of extreme exercise after being told her body was a problem.“There is a lot of torment I put myself through when I was younger,” Moore reflected in an interview with Elle published Thursday. “The perfect example is when I was told to lose weight multiple times.

which it can’t touch) and “Okja.” It’s far from terrible and a pleasure to look at. But, perhaps inevitably, after such a raging success, Bong’s latest movie is a disappointment.The familiar satire hangs on a great premise, though: a futuristic society that depends on sacrificial clones. That warped idea is a fitting canvas for Bong’s usual themes and messages — class disparity, capitalism, environmentalism — only they’re held together with bubblegum.

“Stranger Things” in Season 4 as Vecna and got candid at MegaCon Orlando on Feb. 9 about taking a break from playing villains.While on a panel, Bower explained that although he’s not worried about being typecast as a villain, he wants to step back from the archetype.“It’s funny.

according to The Numbers.The animated comedy, based on Dav Pilkey’s children’s graphic novel series of the same name, is expected to take home a total of $35.3 million this weekend.The Universal Pictures family film — which The Wrap said “will delight young fans and entertain tolerant parents” — features the voices of Pete Davidson, Isla Fisher and Ricky Gervais.It’s already made history as the second largest opener for a January animated title ever after 2016’s “Kung Fu Panda 3,” Deadline reported.The horror sci-fi flick “Companion” eek-ed its way to second place, with sales of just over $4 million.It centers around a couple, played by Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid, who are on a weekend trip with friends at a cabin, when it is revealed that Sophie is, in fact, a companion robot.The film, which The Guardian called an “empty sci-fi thriller” that “short-circuits too quickly,” is slated to earn $8 to $10 million this weekend.The female buddy comedy “One of Them Days,” starring Keke Palmer and singer SZA, moved down a notch to third, earning $1.635 million.This week, the film, which reportedly cost $14 million to make, surpassed the $25 million mark at the domestic box office.“Mufasa: The Lion King” fell down a spot to fourth, with a $1.34 million-dollar take.

“Star Wars” series — deemed “woke” by many online fans — was recently canceled after only one season, which came as a surprise to some of the cast members.Lee Jung-Jae, who played Master Sol in the Disney+ show, reacted to the cancellation in an interview with Entertainment Weekly on Friday.“To hear the news, I was quite surprised personally as well,” said Jung-Jae, 51.Created by Leslye Headland, “The Acolyte” is set in the Republic Era and follows an investigation into a spree of murders that pits a Jedi Master (Jung-Jae) and his former Padawan (Amandla Stenberg) against forces of evil long thought to be extinct within the galaxy.Jung-Jae noted that while his character was killed in the Season 1 finale, he was hoping the show would return for Season 2.“I wouldn’t have appeared in the second season if there was one anyway,” the South Korean actor told EW. “But personally speaking, I really loved Leslye’s writing.

The Numbers.The film, which The Post called the franchise’s “best sequel in years,” was produced by original “Alien” director Ridley Scott, and co-written and directed by Fede Álvarez.The $80 million film goes back to the basics of isolation, paranoia, survival and tactile creatures, instead of “unwieldy” extraterrestrial mythology, movie critic Johnny Oleksinski wrote.Tthe sci-fi/horror flick follows space colonizers in a derelict space station coming face to face with “the most terrifying life-form in the universe” and stars Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.The hit is another win for Disney, which has dominated the summer box office with films including “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Inside Out 2.”Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which had a three-week run in the No. 1 slot, was knocked down to No.

Leave the World Behind.”Callers on the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile networks have experienced a drop in service and the reason has yet to be determined. Many AT&T customers reported that they were stuck in “SOS Mode,” a system used for emergency services, and some police departments have been unable to receive 911 calls.

Foe (★★☆☆☆), director Garth Davis’ sterile adaptation of the 2018 sci-fi novel by Iain Reid. Davis and Reid co-wrote the film, which unfolds like a novel, allowing ample space to imagine the inner lives of its characters, though the filmmakers might have done more to realize the world beyond married couple Hen and Junior, and the tall, handsome stranger who shows up uninvited one day at their isolated Midwest farmhouse.The year is 2065, and, predictably, fresh water and habitable land are globally scarce.

Peacock.“It’s the apocalypse – please don’t put lip gloss on me!” Beatriz, 42, told The Post. “I struggle when I watch television [set in a dystopia] and the world is on fire and everything is awful, and you’ve got an actress coming in and her hair is perfectly waved, and her skin looks gorgeous,” she said. “Especially as a new mom shooting it — I was like, ‘F–k it. Slap on some black eyeliner.

Josh Dallas (series protagonist Ben Stone) thinks there’s enough gas in the tank to fuel another takeoff.“I believe [the series’ final episode] is … the perfect ending for these characters,” Dallas, 44, told The Post. “It’s terrifying, emotional and surprising.

Prime Video’s new series “The Power” posits a world in which young women around the globe, in an inexplicable twist of nature, suddenly develop the ability to electrocute people at will — flipping society, and the patriarchy, on its head (“A world built for us, where we’re not afraid” says a protagonist). The eight-part series, cloaked in sci-fi, takes a while to charge into high gear, but once it gets going is rife with social commentary that resonates in today’s culture.“The Power” is based on Naomi Alderman’s eponymous 2016 novel and features an ensemble cast of younger, nuanced actors working alongside A-listers Toni Collette, John Leguizamo and Josh Charles.

“Ghostbusters” legend Ernie Hudson is haunted by his experiences on the set of the classic 1984 sci-fi action-comedy. Hudson, 77, opened up about the “psychological” damage he incurred working on the original movie that launched the franchise, revealing how being “selectively pushed aside” made the filming the project “difficult.”The veteran actor launched his bombshell appearance on “The Howard Stern Wrap Up Show” by declaring “Ghostbusters” director Ivan Reitman — who died at 75 in 2022 — a “really, really a brilliant man and I have just so much love and appreciation for him.” Although Hudson had praise for his A-list co-stars Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd — he didn’t share the same warm words for the Columbia Pictures studio execs behind the scenes.“I was the guy who was brought in, and so finding my place in the middle of that — and they were all welcoming and inclusive,” Hudson told SiriusXM’s Gary Dell’Abate and Rahsaan Rogers.

“Outlander” and “La Brea” — but NBC’s reboot of “Quantum Leap” doesn’t quite capture the spirit of its predecessor.That series aired for five seasons (1989-93) on NBC with stars Scott Bakula as time-jumping Dr. Sam Beckett and Dean Stockwell as Al, the cigar-chomping wiseguy hologram tasked with guiding Sam through his tricky missions after assuming someone else’s identity — and saving the day — as he bounced back and forth in time.This new version of “Quantum Leap” references the original show — both Bakula and Stockwell are seen, though not as in-the-flesh characters, and the series opener is dedicated to Stockwell, who died last November.

Sissy Spacek and JK Simmons — and they deliver the goods in “Night Sky,” a gripping, eight-episode sci-fi series premiering May 20 on Prime Video.They star as Irene and Franklin York, a 70-something couple puttering around their roomy, comfortable house located in the semi-rural Illinois town of Farnsworth. We know, from an opening flashback, that it was love at first sight when they met in a local bar as young adults, and nothing has changed: they still dote on each other — Franklin nursing Irene, a retired English teacher, as she recovers from a fall, and Irene worrying about Franklin’s health, particularly his increasing lapses of memory (which leave him frustrated, but droll about his situation).

Total Recall is 3 decades old! Arnold Schwarzenegger’s rollercoaster ride to Mars holds up pretty well today and is seen as one of his action classics. Back in 1990 however the movie was a gamble, both for Arnie and director Paul Verhoeven.How did it come together? Did the shoot go well? What did people make of Total Recall at the time? And will there ever be a Recall 2? Let’s refresh our memories by taking a trip back to 2084…The source material for Total Recall was a Philip K.
