Skylar Grey Taps Eminem for ‘Venom’ End-Theme ‘Last One Standing’: Listen
On it, she sings: “Now you see me standin’ in the lights/ But you never saw my sacrifice/ Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive/Had to lose it all to win the fight/ I had to fall so many times/ Oh, now I’m the last one standin’.” “Last One Standing” also features Eminem, who cut the title track for the first in the Venom franchise, as well as Mozzy and Polo G. “The way this song came together was kind of the perfect storm,” she comments. Venom is one of my favorite superheroes because he’s an antihero and I relate to that. Also Tom Hardy is one of my favorite actors. So I’m honored to be a part of this.” The new track isn’t Skylar’s first foray into comic book spinoffs. Her single “Everything I Need” soundtracked the credits of Aquaman along with writing tw...
‘The Bodyguard’ Remake Writer Says Whitney Houston’s Role Will Now Be Latina
The remake of the 1992 romantic thriller The Bodyguard, which originally starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, will feature a brand-new storyline about an overnight Latina sensation, according to the new film’s screenwriter. Matthew López, the Tony Award-winning playwright of The Inheritance who will be writing the new film, told Variety in an interview published Tuesday (Sept. 28) that he wants a Latina to front the project. Unlike Houston, who portrayed Oscar-nominated actress and high-profile singer Rachel Marron dodging death threats and a stalker in the film, the new female lead of The Bodyguard will play an up-and-coming singer who realizes how much she needs protection after growing into her fame. “It’s so much fun. When Warner Bro...
20 Years Later, Zoolander‘s Satirical Style Is Right On Time
By Sara Radin “Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty,” famed male model Derek Zoolander says from a television screen, dressed as a mermaid. The audience sees the commercial at exactly the right moment: Derek has just returned home after quitting modeling. He wants to prove to his dad and brothers he, too, can work in the coal mine despite being completely clueless and lacking any sort of physical endurance. For the occasion, Derek shows up at the small-town bar in a head-to-toe python outfit (matching suitcase included). The irony and juxtaposition of his look against the rough vibe of the mining town are exactly what makes Zoolander — a 2001 movie about a washed-up supermodel who is brainwashed into killing the prime minister of Malaysia, wh...
Licorice Pizza Sounds Gross, But The Movie Starring Alana Haim Looks Great
In 2016, Haim began a fruitful partnership with acclaimed filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, beginning with a live in-studio video for their song “Right Now” that was released the following year. In the months that followed, Anderson directed several Haim projects, including the wonderfully choreographed “Little of Your Love” music video, a live performance of “Night So Long” filmed at Los Angeles’s Greek Theatre, and a short documentary about the making of their second album, Something to Tell You, called Valentine. This partnership was great, and sisters Danielle, Este, and Alana continued it by having Anderson helm stunning visuals for their 2020 album, Women in Music Pt. III, as well. Thankfully, this collaboration has shown no signs of stopping, ...
A Teen Wolf Movie Is Coming To Paramount+
It is the four-year anniversary of the Teen Wolf series finale; never forget the pack walking off into the rain. And since the iconic supernatural MTV series concluded, “we’ve heard your howls” for more and now “we’re howling back.” MTV Entertainment Studios today announced it will once again team up with creator, writer and producer, Jeff Davis, for a new multi-year deal. Under the partnership, Davis will write and executive produce a Teen Wolf movie with talks underway with the original cast, an all-new series Wolf Pack, and will serve as showrunner and director for the pilot of the previously-announced live-action reboot Æone Flux, for Paramount+, as well as additional titles for the ViacomCBS streaming service.

How Amandla Stenberg’s Dear Evan Hansen Song Became A Sparkling SZA Slow Jam
By Yasmine Shemesh About midway through Dear Evan Hansen, the film adaptation of the Tony-winning musical of the same name, Evan and his classmate, Alana, are sitting on swings in the park. Alana — from the outside, a cheerful overachiever involved in almost every extracurricular club at their high school — confides in Evan that she’s struggling, too. Like Evan, she is living with anxiety and depression. Like Evan, she is on medication for it. And like Evan, she feels alone and invisible. Over raw guitar strums, Alana sings softly, carefully, at first. “Do you ever look at all the people who seem to know exactly how to be? You think, they don’t need piles of prescriptions to function naturally.” She laughs nervously. The song, “The Anonymous Ones,” begins to swell into a triumphant de...
Twitter & Bobby Brown Agree: ‘The Bodyguard’ Remake Is The Bad Movie Idea Nobody Asked For
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Legato / Getty A lot of people are done with all the remakes. Even the news of Bel-Air, the dramatic remake of the ’90s sitcom favorite, The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, has probably been met with just as much scorn as it has anticipation. It’s like every day there’s news of a new movie or TV show that has literally been done before, and often it’s the kind of timeless classic that leaves plenty of detractors expressing the same sentiment: Just leave it alone. Also, some of these remake and reboot ideas are just bad. According to TMZ, Tony-nominated playwright Matthew Lopez is reported to have been tapped to direct a remake of the classic 1992 romance drama, The Bodyguard, which starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner and gifted the world with W...
Max Harwood Is A Hit (And You Don’t Even Know It)
By Alex Gonzalez In the new movie-musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, 16-year-old Jamie New dreams of a lifelong career as a drag queen. While he’s not sure of his post-school path, he knows his journey will be fierce and sensational. That could likewise describe the path of star Max Harwood, who responded to an online casting call for the role of Jamie on his own (he didn’t have an agent at the time). To prepare for the role, he familiarized himself with the real-life story of Jamie Campbell, on whom the film and its original stage adaptation are based. “I watched the documentary [Jamie: Drag Queen at 16] and throughout my audition process, I was making the decision to anchor my performance in his essence and energy,” Harwood tells MTV News. That energy is on full display in the film...

Mikis Theodorakis, Greek Composer Behind ‘Serpico’ and ‘Zorba the Greek,’ Dies at 96
But the towering man with trademark worker suits, hoarse voice and wavy hair also is remembered by Greeks for his stubborn opposition to postwar regimes that persecuted him and outlawed his music. The Greek flag was lowered to half-staff at the Acropolis as three days of national mourning were declared. “He lived with passion, a life dedicated to music, the arts, our country and its people, dedicated to the ideas of freedom, justice, equality, social solidarity,” Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou said in a statement. “He wrote music that became intertwined with the historical and social developments in Greece in the postwar years, music that provided encouragement, consolation, protest, and support in the darker periods of our recent history.” Born Michail Theodorakis on the eastern...

Victoria Justice Is The Afterlife Of The Party
Victoria Justice began manifesting her own television show at 8 years old. With a budding modeling career that allowed her to test her acting chops in commercials in her home state of Florida, the young Justice knew she had the drive and gumption to achieve her dream: becoming a leading lady. Looking back, it’s a goal that the actress, now 28, credits heavily to her childhood love of early aughts woman-led teen sitcoms like Lizzie McGuire and That’s So Raven, as well as a formative memory of watching Funny Girl in the back of her mom’s minivan. Inspired, Justice would lie in bed each night, close her eyes, and imagine a world in which she was the star. “I grew up watching those shows, and those women really inspired me,” Justice tells MTV News over Zoom. The actress is currently on day eig...
