Osgood Perkins, known for his work on ‘Gretel & Hansel’ and ‘The Blackcoat’s Daughter’, offers a dark and twisted narrative in his latest horror film, Longlegs. Set in the 1990s, this gripping story follows FBI Agent Lee Harker, portrayed by scream queen Maika Monroe. Harker’s investigation into a string of suburban murders leads her to an occultist serial killer, played by Nicolas Cage, with whom she has a sinister personal connection. A Unique Marketing Strategy The film’s marketing campaign is a highlight, effectively creating buzz through innovative techniques.

Following a recent plot synopsis, we have some character breakdowns (via Daniel Richtman) for Prime Video's live-action Spider-Noir series, which will star Nicolas Cage as the Depression-era wall-crawler - believed to be a take on Ben Reilly - of the title.
While most of these details are fairly standard profiles of the show's main heroes and villains, there do appear to be a few (potential) spoilers here - pertaining to one character, in particular.
Ben Reilly:
A retired superhero with the powers of Spider-Man who is too old and broken, both figuratively and literally, to suit up the way he used to. Instead, he takes low-level Pi cases and stays out of the ones that involve high-profile names, like that of the Mayor. Through flashbacks, we find out about his past heroics, and past failures, that led him to this point. He is charming, but weathered, and the pilot does...

Osgood Perkins’ Longlegs continues to be a massive success story for indie horror, the film scaring up $58.6 million domestically for a current worldwide total of $66.7 million.
Longlegs is now the third highest grossing horror movie of the year at the worldwide box office, behind A Quiet Place: Day One ($253 million) and Exhuma ($97 million), and it’s also hit a huge milestone for indie horror. Deadline reports that Neon’s Longlegs is now officially the highest grossing indie horror movie of the past ten years at the United States box office!
Deadline reports, “Now in week 3, the Osgood Perkins pic is also the top grossing R-rated horror of 2024 and the highest grossing indie horror film of the last ten years, topping A24’s Talk To Me, Insidious Chapter 3 from Universal’s Focus, and A24’s Hereditary.”
The film’s reported production budget was around $10 million, so Longlegs is already turning a huge profit for distributor Neon.

The sci-fi horror A Quiet Place franchise headed to New York with its latest entry, A Quiet Place: Day One, which received a theatrical release on June 28th (you can read our review at This Link) – and after a month of play on the big screen, the film is now set to receive a digital release tomorrow, July 30th! The 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD SteelBook physical media release will follow on October 8th.
While John Krasinski directed the previous two films, he produced A Quiet Place: Day One and passed the helming duties over to Michael Sarnoski, director of the Nicolas Cage drama Pig (watch it Here). Jeff Nichols (The Bikeriders) was attached to write and direct A Quiet Place: Day One for a while, but when he dropped out he was replaced by Sarnoski.

Shh! Be very, very quiet — "A Quiet Place: Day One" is coming home. I don't know about you, but I didn't have a ton of faith in the sci-fi horror prequel. Don't get me wrong: I like the first two "Quiet Place" movies, but usually, when a franchise enters prequel terrority, it can be a sign of desperation. It often signals that producers have run out of ideas and want to just go back to the well to cash-in on brand awareness. So it was a wonderful surprise when "A Quiet Place: Day One" turned out to be both a really good movie and, believe it or not, the best entry in the "Quiet Place" franchise. The secret to the film's success is writer-director Michael Sarnoski, who also helmed the excellent Nicolas Cage movie "Pig." Sarnoski ends up elevating the material, crafting an emotional story that packs a punch. Here's...

After a two-year hiatus, the 11-member K-pop group, The Boyz, is back touring the U.S., and their excitement is palpable.
“We’re feeling very good,” Kevin, 26, tells USA Today backstage at Radio City Music Hall on July 19. “Last year, we weren’t able to tour North America, but we’re so glad that we’re able to do it this year.”
This tour is particularly special for Eric, who hails from Los Angeles and missed The Boyz’s 2022 U.S. tour due to a health hiatus. “Zeneration II” marks his first time touring the States.
“It kind of feels weird that I’m on it right now; it feels like a dream,” the 23-year-old says.
Members Sangyeon, Jacob, and Juyeon sat alongside Kevin and Eric during the interview. Younghoon, Hyunjae, New, Q, Juhaknyeon, and Sunwoo were absent, getting the final touches for hair and makeup before the concert.

You’d probably most associate Jason Schwartzman with Wes Anderson films as he’s been in seven of the blighters: Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The French Dispatch and 2023’s Asteroid City.
You might also be aware that he’s from a famous film family, which includes uncle Francis Ford Coppola, cousins Roman and Sofia and (on the other side) cousin Nicolas Cage.

We’re obviously completely self-aware that we’re publishing this list the Monday after Deadpool & Wolverine made $205 million at the box office. That’s the whole point of being meta, right? Or if you want to get Merriam-Webster involved, something that “shows or suggests an explicit awareness of itself or oneself as a member of its category: cleverly self-referential.”
That said, when it comes to movies, this kind of self-awareness can cover a wide range of narrative devices. A character quietly acknowledging the audience can be meta. Other times, meta scenes can intentionally break apart a film’s reality. Meta doesn’t even necessarily need to be done for the sake of humor either, as plenty of movies — from Frederico Fellini’s 8½ to the horror thriller Funny Games — get meta without much humorous intention.

As anticipated on Friday, Nicolas Cage starring Longlegs, pushing a $6.7 million weekend on 2,730 screens — for a cume of $58.6 million in week 3 — has surpassed Parasite’s $53.37 million to become the indie distributor’s highest grossing film ever.
Now in week 3, the Osgood Perkins pic is also the top grossing R-rated horror of 2024 and the highest grossing indie horror film of the last ten years, topping A24’s Talk To Me, Insidious Chapter 3 from Universal’s Focus, and A24’s Hereditary. It’s no. 5 at the domestic box office.
Also in wide release, Bleecker Street is estimating The Fabulous Four will gross just over $1 million in its opening weekend on 1,045 screens. Directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse, its stars Susan Sarandon, Megan Mullally and Sheryl Lee Ralph as a group of lifelong friends who travel to Key West to be bridesmaids in the surprise wedding of their best college girlfriend, played by Bette Midler.

July 2024 ended on an extreme high note at the box office with the return of Marvel Studios and the biggest opening weekend in theaters since “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in late 2022. Read on for the weekend box office report.
The big hurdle facing Marvels’ “Deadpool and Wolverine,” teaming the popular Marvel characters played by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman with a ton of surprise cameos, was that it was being released with an R-rating, and it was a fairly Hard R with lots of swearing and bloody violence. Some thought that might hurt the movie’s box office chances, but after ending up with 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, things generally were looking up as soon as the movie opened.
The movie pulled in $38.5 million in Thursday previews, just below 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War,” which went on to open with $257.7 million back in the summer of 2018. It also made $64 million overseas in earlier showings before the weekend.

“Longlegs” has some long legs at the box office. After three weeks of release, the occult-tilted thriller has collected a stellar $58.6 million in North America, enough to become the highest-grossing indie horror film of the last decade.
“Longlegs” surpassed A24’s “Talk to Me” ($48 million domestically) to achieve the milestone. “Talk to Me” has a bigger global tally with $92.1 million, whereas “Longlegs” has earned $62 million globally to date.
The film also ranks as Neon’s highest-grossing film of all time, outperforming the Oscar-winning “Parasite” with $53.36 million in North America. (Neon is a domestic distributor and typically doesn’t control all of the international markets for its films.)
“Longlegs” opened earlier in July and became a sleeper hit, earning $22.6 million in its first weekend and setting a new box office record for Neon in the process. Sydney Sweeney’s religious horror film “Immaculate” previously ranked as the indie company’s biggest start with $5.3 million in March.

Spoilers for "Longlegs" follow.
Will I ever rewatch "Longlegs"? It's a question I've been asking myself since I saw it. It's a great movie (with one hell of a Nicolas Cage performance as a Devil-worshiping serial killer) and I haven't stopped thinking about for plenty of other reasons. Even so, it's such an uncomfortable watch that I see it joining "The Witch" and "Hereditary" on my personal shelf of horror movies I like but can never quite get in the mood to completely rewatch.
On the other hand — second viewings of mystery movies are always more enlightening than the first. When you have all the big pieces of the puzzle assembled in your head, you can start looking for the smaller details. The "Longlegs" marketing team is leaning into that. Ahead of release, /Film praised the "Longlegs" viral marketing campaign as some of the best horror movie hyping in recent years,...

Note: There are spoilers for “Deadpool & Wolverine” in the article below
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is finally here. It’s the epic superhero saga that has been teased since the “Deadpool” test footage that leaked ahead of the first movie’s production and it is very much worth the wait. Deadpool and Wolverine (a returning Hugh Jackman) are forced to team up to save Deadpool’s universe from a rogue Tva middle-manager named Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) and Charles Xavier’s psychotic sister Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin).
And along the way they meet a few friends …
As soon as “Deadpool & Wolverine” was announced, the assumption was that the film would be a cameo-palooza, full of characters from both the mainline Marvel Cinematic Universe and from the vestigial universe established by the 20th Century Fox franchises, with “X-Men,” “Fantastic Four” and others.

In the face of a monolith Marvel Studios movie this weekend, Neon’s summer shocker at the box office, Longlegs, will become the studio’s highest-grossing movie in its history, surpassing its Best Picture and multi-Oscar winner Parasite ($53.3 million). This is all going down Friday.
The Oz Perkins-directed and -written movie starring Maika Monroe grossed $1.3M on Thursday. taking its second week to $18.9M, and running total to $51.8M.
Neon pulled off this box office success with an avant garde P&a that cost under $10M, executed in cryptic clips leading up to a trailer. The wonder of the entire campaign is that it hid Oscar winner Nicolas Cage.
Longlegs is the top-grossing R-rated horror film of 2024. In its second week of release it became the highest-grossing indie horror film of the last 10 years, besting A24’s Talk to Me which tapped out at $48M after 91 days in the marketplace.

Putting aside the raging debate about whether it is, in fact, the “scariest film of the decade,” one thing we can all agree upon is that Longlegs is, at the very least, off putting. There’s something about Osgood “Oz” Perkins’ latest that gets under your skin, even if it doesn’t necessarily reduce you to a total quivering wreck (as some of the more hyperbolic reactions would have you believe).
Maybe it’s Nicolas Cage’s bloodcurdling transformation into the titular Manson-esque killer that sets you on edge. Or perhaps it’s the grisly murders he enacts, the recurring motif of sinister eyes peering out from the shadows, those hidden devils that are artfully concealed in the frame, or the lingering cinematography that gives you an unshakable feeling that something dreadful could happen at any moment. Whatever causes you to squirm, there’s no denying that Longlegs is filled...

Neon’s Longlegs is about to pass $50 million at the worldwide box office, already making it one of the top five highest grossing horror movies of the year. Neon’s cryptic marketing campaign has been working like a charm for the last several months, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down even in the wake of the movie’s release on the big screen a couple weeks ago.
On that note, they’ve uploaded a video this afternoon titled “Fire Fire Fire, Hiss – A Song from Longlegs,” which is creepily described as being “the last known musical recording by Dale Ferdinand Kobble before the voices took over.” That’s the character played by Nicolas Cage in the film, who becomes known by the moniker he signs his work with: “Longlegs.”
The three-minute recording sees Cage singing in character as Dale Ferdinand Kobble/Longlegs, and it’s as unsettling as you’re probably expecting.

The new horror sensation Longlegs, starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage, has taken the box office by storm in its first week, securing a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Written and directed by Osgood Perkins, the film has garnered rave reviews from critics and fans since its release on July 12.

These heinous acts occur without the killer’s physical presence at the crime scenes.
Initially projected to gross between $7 to $9 million during its opening weekend, Longlegs exceeded expectations by raking in an impressive $10 million on its first day alone, according to Variety.
This stellar performance has not only solidified Monroe’s status as a leading actress in horror but also sparked renewed interest in her filmography.

To give you a bit of a helping hand, Neon has uploaded a video (below) that points out a small handful of these creepy appearances, leaving you to discover the rest for yourself.
Maybe it’s time to go see Longlegs again. This time, look closer…

It may be less than two weeks into its theatrical run, but it's fair to say that "Longlegs" is, without a doubt, the horror surprise of the year. The latest from director Oz Perkins was released by Neon in theaters on July 12 and, with two weekends under its belt at the box office, this buzzy genre flick only becomes more impressive by the moment. To that end, despite facing down heavy competition from "Twisters," which opened to $80.5 million, as well as holdovers like "Despicable Me 4" and "Inside Out 2," Perkins' twisted serial killer tale more than held its own on its second weekend.
"Longlegs" pulled in $11.7 million in its second frame, landing at number four on the charts. More importantly, this represents a mere 48% drop compared to the film's downright shocking opening weekend north of $22 million, which was, without exaggeration, one of the most impressive openings in recent memory.

There’s a muzzle pressed to the back of your head. You’re suddenly forced to name Martin Scorsese’s single most underrated movie in five seconds or less. What is the first thing that comes to mind? Kundun? The Age of Innocence? Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore? Maybe The King of Comedy or After Hours? It’s a tough call, especially since the greatest living American filmmaker is so synonymous with New York crime movies like Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Gangs of New York, The Departed, you name it. Speaking of such flicks, one explosive charge in Scorsese’s canon always goes unnoticed, despite sharing an accoladed pedigree with Taxi Driver. That’s right, Scorsese reunited with screenwriter Paul Schrader on the criminally unheralded 1999 bleak, pitch-black crime-comedy Bringing out the Dead. The film marks the only time Scorsese worked with Nicolas Cage, Francis Ford Coppola’s nephew,...

Ginger Zee isn’t just a Good Morning America host, she’s actually a well-respected meteorologist and scientist.
In fact, she’s even coined herself a “Storm Chaser” in the past. But, even with those credentials, Ginger Zee didn’t score any tickets to the Twister movie premiere this week.
Can you imagine being The Ginger Zee and having to wait until a movie about tornadoes hit theaters and then have to actually pay for a ticket to watch it?
Ginger Zee Didnt Score Twisters Tickets
Twister, which starred Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, broke Box Office records back in 1996.
The 2024 rendition of the movie follows a female meteorologist (sounds kind of like Zee) named Daisy, who winds up on a wild storm-cashing ride with an online celebrity who records storms up close and personal for his audience.

Katy Perry is having a pop emergency crisis. Her new single “Woman’s World” failed to hit the Top 40 list. Meanwhile, she received backlash for the lyrics and music video. She backtracked on the meaning behind the song. Keep on reading to learn more.
Woman’s World Flops
Katy Perry’s comeback didn’t happen as she anticipated. She returned to pop music for the first time in five years. Earlier this year, she shocked fans when she announced her exit from American Idol. Katy wanted to focus on her music career.
However, some fans think she should return to the recording studio and start over again. Her comeback single “Woman’s World” features eye-raising lyrics and a ridiculous music video that panders to the male gaze.

Country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus has been granted an emergency motion that prevents ex-wife, Firerose, from spending money with his credit cards as the two continue to duke it out during their divorce.
Court documents obtained by Et show that a judge in Tennessee recently ruled that “there is no legitimate reason” for Firerose “to have access to and to make any additional charges” on Cyrus’ credit cards.
Details of The Court Order And Background of The Divorce
An order issued by the judge, immediately after a hearing on July 1, instructed both parties to ‘exchange income and expense statements as well as asset and liability statements’ by July 11, and to start “engage in good faith mediation” by August 31.

Editor’s Note: The following story contains spoilers for “Longlegs” and “Cure.”
The oozy, hypnotic dread of “Longlegs” may be scaring up dreams of “Seven” and “The Silence of the Lambs” as a mid-‘90s-set thriller about the games between a serial killer and an FBI agent. But there’s another movie Osgood Perkins’ Nicolas Cage-starrer (now a record-smashing box office hit for Neon) shares a darker kinship with.
That’s Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s “Cure” from 1997, a gruesome serial killer tour de force the Japanese director himself was inspired by David Fincher’s “Seven” to make. “Cure,” a dripping-with-atmosphere philosophical crime thriller also about a seemingly psychic (and in this case amnesiac) killer a la Cage’s title character in “Longlegs,” stars the great Koji Yakusho as a Tokyo Metropolitan Police detective on the trail of a string of bizarre slayings that defy explanation. Each crime scene finds the killer close by,...

When Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse first hit the theatres, not many could have anticipated the phenomenon that it would turn out to be. The animated movie went on to create waves, not only for its depiction of Miles Morales’ Spider-Man, but also for the idea it introduced us to – the first depiction of a Marvel multiverse. The multiverse meant that we would have an opportunity to witness multiple versions of Spider-Man over the years. While its sequel gave us a sneak peek at multiple versions, fans will be taken through one’s story in detail – Spider-Man Noir.

Spoiler Warning: Ahead of the release of Longlegs, I had a chance to catch up with Blair Underwood, who I was very excited to speak with, especially given his excellent performance in the film. Having seen Longlegs for a second time earlier this week, it just really cemented how crucial the role of Agent Carter was in establishing the seriousness of the events that unfold. Given the film's supernatural elements, Lee Harker's abilities, and the insanity of Longlegs himself, Blair Underwood's performance is what really makes all of this work, because it grounds the film in reality, making everything that happens around him and to him in the finale more terrifying. In many ways, we're following along similary to Agent Carter, unable to fully comprehend or stop the events that unfold.

As Prime Video's Spider-Man Noir (now officially titled Spider-Noir) continues to round out its cast, the latest actor to join the live-action series is Wu Assassins star Li Jun Li.
Deadline reports that Li will play "a singer at the premier nightclub in New York," but a recent plot synopsis revealed that Nicolas Cage's Depression-era wall-crawler will be facing a "femme fatal" take on Yuriko Watanabe, and Daniel Richtman believes this is indeed who she's been cast as.
The scooper also reports that Tom Burke and Abraham Popoola are in talks for unknown parts.
Li joins previously announced Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson, and Brendan Gleeson in an undisclosed role (there's a chance he'll play Silvermane). The Sandman is also expected to appear, but no word on who has been cast in the role.
Li has also appeared in the likes of Sex/Life, Babylon, Billy and Billie, and the short-lived Exorcist TV series.
Deadline reports that Li will play "a singer at the premier nightclub in New York," but a recent plot synopsis revealed that Nicolas Cage's Depression-era wall-crawler will be facing a "femme fatal" take on Yuriko Watanabe, and Daniel Richtman believes this is indeed who she's been cast as.
