Stranger Things may be coming to an end this year, but star Finn Wolfhard isn't done fighting monsters just yet — not by a long chalk. In fact, with his and fellow actor Billy Bryk's joint directorial debut Hell Of A Summer, the 22-year-old Canadian is diving headfirst into genre territory for a throwback summer-camp slasher complete with ouija boards, masked killers, and all the blood and guts a horror fan could hope for. Check out the newly released first trailer for the gory horror-comedy, co-written by and co-starring Wolfhard and Bryk, below:

A bunch of horny teens? Check! Drinking, smoking, and candid campfire conversations? Check! Dead lines, death by six-string, and a sketchy dude called Jason? Check, check, and check again!

Finn Wolfhard is taking a stab at directing — and is trying not to get stabbed himself in the new trailer for the horror-comedy film Hell of a Summer.

The trailer, released by Neon on Wednesday, shows the Stranger Things star and his friends enjoying their summer at camp, filled with campfires, lake days, Ouija boards and escaping a serial killer.

The film’s synopsis reads: “Hell of a Summer follows 24-year-old camp counselor Jason Hochberg, who arrives at Camp Pineway thinking his biggest problem is that he feels out of touch with his teenage co-workers. What he doesn’t know is that a masked killer is lurking on the campgrounds, brutally picking counselors off one by one.”

The feature, set to release in theaters on April 18, is written and directed by Wolfhard and Billy Bryk. The cast includes Fred Hechinger, Pardis Saremi, Abby Quinn and D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai.

The Hollywood Reporter...

A while back, Stranger Things and Ghostbusters: Afterlife actor Finn Wolfhard made his feature directorial debut with a horror comedy called Hell of a Summer, which he directed alongside Billy Bryk, who also appeared in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray had the chance to watch the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and gave it a 5/10 review than can be read at This Link. The film secured a U.S. distribution deal with Neon last summer, and the company is planning to give it a theatrical release on April 18th. With that date just a few months away, a redband trailer for Hell of a Summer has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Months before Hell of a Summer was officially announced, Wolfhard said that he was planning to make his feature directorial debut with “a horror-comedy-slasher movie that takes place at a camp.

Neon will release Hell of a Summer in theaters on April 18, 2025.

Slash into the bloody official Red Band trailer for Hell of a Summer below, which looks like a modern day tribute to the classic summer camp slasher movies from the 1980s.

The cast also includes Fred Hechinger (Fear Street 1994), as well as D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai (“Reservation Dogs”), Abby Quinn (“Mad About You”), and Pardis Saremi (“Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem”).

Hell of a Summer follows 24-year-old camp counselor Jason Hochberg (Hechinger), who arrives at Camp Pineway thinking his biggest problem is that he feels out of touch with his teenage co-workers.

Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland reunite for the war movie Warfare, and here’s the trailer for the 2025 film.

Ever since he wrote the screenplays for films like The Beach and 28 Days Later, Alex Garland has buit up one of the most eclectic filmographies of any filmmaker working today, from his directorial debut, Ex Machina, to surreal thriller Men and this year’s brutal, intense Civil War.

The military advisor on that film was Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza, who has reunited with Garland to co-direct Warfare.

The synopsis for the new film reads as follows:

Based on ex-Navy Seal Ray Mendoza’s real-life experiences as a soldier during the Iraq War. Mendoza joined the Navy in 1997 and served for over 16 years as a Member of Seal Team 5 and a Land Warfare Training Detachment and Bud/s instructor.

Garland’s Civil War, also from A24 Films, was released in early 2024. At the time he said, “It is exceptionally difficult, to make a war movie that is, in fact, anti-war. War movies find it very, very difficult to not sensationalize violence,” he says. “Most of the anti-war movies in a way are not really anti-war movies.

A24’s first harrowing trailer for Warfare puts viewers into the claustrophobic confines of a battle that took place in 2006 in Iraq. The action’s based on the memories of soldiers who survived the bloody engagement.

Alex Garland co-wrote and co-directed Warfare with ex-Navy Seal Ray Mendoza, who served as the military supervisor on Garland’s Civil War. Per A24, the gritty war drama “embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory.

One year after creating a fictionalized civil war inside the United States, “Civil War” filmmaker Alex Garland has his eyes on a historical conflict. Garland and co-writer and co-director Ray Mendoza, an Iraq War veteran, are behind the new film “Warfare,” a real-time war film based on “the memory of the people who lived it.”

The project, which was announced earlier this year, is set during the 2006 Iraq War and focuses on “a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory.”

In keeping with classic war films of yesteryear – including classics like “The Thin Red Line,” “Saving Private Ryan,” and “Black Hawk Down,” Garland and Mendoza have enlisted an all-star cast of internet-approved young actors, including Emmy nominees D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai and Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo,...

A24 recently released a trailer for Alex Garland’s new movie, ‘Warfare,’ which he co-directed with Ray Mendoza.

This film is a departure from the dystopian themes of Garland’s previous work, ‘Civil War,’ and instead transports viewers to the intense battlegrounds of 2006 Iraq. The film’s release is scheduled for 2025, although an exact date is yet to be confirmed.

Unlike his earlier project which reimagined a second American Civil War, Garland, alongside Mendoza who also served as the military supervisor on ‘Civil War,’ crafted a narrative set against the backdrop of real historical events.

‘Warfare’ offers an in-depth look at the experiences of an American Navy SEALs platoon stationed within an Iraqi family’s home, providing a strategic vantage point to oversee US movements through hostile territories.

The storytelling in ‘Warfare’ is unique as it unfolds in real-time, reflecting the personal memories of those who were there.

The film...

By the time director Alex Garland’s film Civil War (you can read our review Here) was released earlier this year, Garland was already working on another war movie called Warfare, co-directing it with Ray Mendoza, who served as the military supervisor for Civil War. Garland and Mendoza also wrote the screenplay together. While Civil War was a dystopian film that imagined a new Civil War breaking out in the United States, Warfare is set during a real war, the story taking viewers back to 2006 Iraq. A24 will be giving the film a theatrical release sometime in 2025, but even though a specific release date has not yet been announced, the first trailer for the film has been unveiled. You can watch it in the embed above.

It seems that Alex Garland has developed a taste for the big-screen battlefield. After bowling us over with his immersive war photography thriller Civil War earlier this year, the filmmaker is back with Warfare, a shootout story set in 2006 during the Iraq War, and with a stellar roll-call of young talent in front of the camera. Watch the first trailer below.

Written and directed by Garland and veteran Ray Mendoza, Warfare is, according to the trailer, an 'unfiltered' depiction of life on the front line, delivered in real time, and based on Mendoza’s memory of his actual experiences serving in Iraq. It follows a group of Navy SEALs under siege, facing bullets and serious injuries, all trying to escape as a group to find safety and back-up. As with Civil War, it’s an A24 joint, and its extensive list of stars includes D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, Will Poulter, Shōgun’s Cosmo Jarvis,...

"Coming to you, or you coming to us?"

Warfare is actually co-directed by Alex Garland and the real life Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza, telling his own stories (from memory) of what it was like to be there. A member of Seal Team 5, Mendoza came to partner with Garland on Warfare after serving as his military supervisor on Civil War.

The trailer for Warfare has been released. Warfare is Alex Garland's first film after directing A24's Civil War earlier this year. He co-writes and co-directs with real-life Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza, on whose life the events of the film are based. Warfare features a leading cast including D'Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, Joseph Quinn, Finn Bennett, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Noah Centineo, Charles Melton, and Michael Gandolfini. Last week, A24 released a poster for Warfare that gave a grim first look at a man with his face covered in mud.

Now, A24 has released the trailer for Warfare.

The trailer shows a group of United States military members in Iraq in 2006, hiding out in a house while they look at their enemies. Sonically, the soundscape is filled with the sound of breathing and dialogue that establishes their plans for their mission. After an explosion disrupts a more serene moment,...

Alex Garland, whose most recent film “Civil War” hit theaters in April, is back with another heavy drama with his new film “Warfare,” set during the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

The intense film takes place in Iraq in 2006 and stars D’pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, Will Poulter, Joseph Quinn, Charles Melton, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, Henrique Zaga and Aaron Deakins.

“‘Warfare’ embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory,” the synopsis reads. “A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it.”

The trailer starts out of showing the soldiers in a period of quiet downtime as they scope out two targets on a rooftop with a sniper rifle.

A year after turning a domestic political nightmare scenario into indie box office gold with “Civil War,” Alex Garland is re-teaming with a close collaborator for another military thriller.

Garland and Ray Mendoza, a former Navy Seal and Iraq War veteran who served as military supervisor for “Civil War,” co-write and direct “Warfare,” an upcoming A24 film that places Navy SEALs in Iraq in the spotlight. Per an official synopsis, the film “embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory. A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it.”

“Warfare” stars: D’pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, Henrique Zaga, Joseph Quinn, and Charles Melton.

Earlier this year, Civil War proved Alex Garland wasn’t so much interested in the politics of a divided country, rather curious about the questions of morality and the psychological toll of those entrenched in an aspect of war (specifically photojournalism). He’s now returning in 2025 with what looks to be an even more focused portrait of the horrors of war, capturing a group of soldiers in Iraq War in real-time. Co-directed with Ray Mendoza, Warfare is once again backed by A24 and now the first trailer has arrived.

Charles Melton's critically acclaimed performance in "May December" put Hollywood on notice, and since then, he's been on the rise, with a number of other high-profile projects on the horizon.

With so many major roles coming up, it's easy to forget that Melton wasn't even the first choice to play Reggie Mantle on "Riverdale," the role that began his onscreen ascension.

In the show's first season, Reggie was played by Ross Butler, a veteran of teen drama shows who left "Riverdale" to focus more on his "13 Reasons Why" role as Zach Dempsey. "We love what Ross did with the role of Reggie [this season], but because of his commitments to other projects,...

Actress Candice Bergen made a comment about vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance at the 76th Emmy Awards on Sunday night.

Bergen presented the Lead Actress in a Comedy Series award. She introduced the category by reflecting on her time starring in the comedy series Murphy Brown.

“I was surrounded by brilliant and funny actors, had the best scripts to work with, and in one classic moment, my character was attacked by Vice President Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother,” she said.

“Oh, how far we’ve come,” Bergen continued. “Today a Republican candidate for vice president would never attack a woman for having kids, so as they say, my work here is done.” She added a “Meow,” referring to Vance’s infamous “childless...

Reservation Dogs star D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai attended his first-ever Emmy Awards on Sunday night, making a big statement to mark the occasion.

Woon-a-Tai, 22, wore an all-black suit and a red handprint painted over his mouth, representing a message of solidarity for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, according to the Native Hope website.

The painted hand “stands for all missing sisters whose voices are not heard. It stands for the silence of the media and law enforcement in the midst of this crisis. It stands for the oppression and subjugation of native women who are now rising up to say #NoMoreStolenSisters,” the website states.

Woon-a-Tai was nominated for his first Emmy Award for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance in Reservation Dogs. The series follows a group of Indigenous teenagers in Oklahoma...

It was a striking image that got people’s attention while scrolling through Emmy red carpet photos and videos Sunday — D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, one of the stars of FX’s comedy series Reservation Dogs, had a red handprint painted over his mouth, which stood in contrast to his slick all-black tuxedo ensemble.

In a town grown accustomed to provocative outfits and makeup, the bloody mark had a deeper — and heartbreaking –meaning. A red hand over the mouth has become the symbol of the Missing And Murdered Indigenous Women movement which is raising awareness about the high rates of Native women across the U.S. and Canada, many of whom who are killed or abducted each year.

The 22-year-old Woon-a-Tai, a Canadian of Oji-Cree First Nations descent, told Deadline that he came up with the idea for the bold statement shortly after he became the first indigenous performer to receive an Outstanding...

And just like that, another hotly contested Emmy awards season race has come to a close. After last year's WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes pushed the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony into January of this year, last night the glitzy statue-doling bash's 76th edition — this year hosted by Schitt's Creek's Eugene and Dan Levy — took place at the Peacock Theater in LA. And on a night of few major surprises, the two most nominated shows of the year — samurai epic Shōgun and kitchen-based "comedy" The Bear — got their hands ("Hands!") on 18 and 11 awards respectively, including historic Outstanding Actor and Actress In A Drama wins for the former's Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, and second Outstanding Actor and Supporting Actor wins for the latter's Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

During the three-hour telethon, Shōgun — which now boasts the most awarded single season of TV in Emmy history — also bagged other top...

Many of the hottest TV stars walked the Emmy Awards red carpet on Sunday in downtown Los Angeles. Gold Derby associate editor Latasha Ford enjoyed an exclusive spot on the celebratory afternoon, interviewing many of the celebrities who were nominated, presenting or part of their television show’s ensembles for Emmys 2024. The ABC ceremony was hosted by Dan Levy and Eugene Levy.

The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards just aired on ABC, and things went about as expected. In other words, the excellent historical drama Shōgun won Best Drama Series; the caustic slice-of-life series The Bear won Best Comedy Series, since I guess it's a little more like a comedy than Shōgun; and the autobiographical stalker drama Baby Reindeer won Best Limited or Anthology Series.

Those three were the big winners of the night, with them each taking home four awards. Jeremy Allen White won Best Actor In A Comedy Series as expected, and his costar Ebon Moss-Bachrach won Best Supporting Actor. On the drama side, Hiroyuki Sanada won Best Actor and Anna Sawai won Best Actress; she was the one I was really invested in. She was magnificent as Mariko and if she hadn't won I would have been forced to write a strongly worded letter to whoever votes in these things.

FX’s Shogun and The Bear dominated the 76th Emmys in Los Angeles on Sunday night as they finished with 18 and 11 wins apiece, including last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards, despite an upset in the comedy series category where HBO/Max’s Hacks was the surprise winner.

Shogun was named best dramatic series and took home both lead acting wins for Hiroyuku Sanada and Anna Sawai, who became the first actress of Asian descent to win the category. The show itself became the first mostly not in the English language to win the series award.

Although comedy series favourite...

Only eight months after the last Emmy ceremony (which was delayed due to the strikes), the Primetime Emmy Awards are back, although there were some big surprises in store. Everyone (myself included) expected The Bear to own every category it was nominated in. While it did well, winning many big categories including Best Actor in a Comedy Series, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress, it lost Best Comedy Series (and actress) to Hacks.

Netflix’s controversial limited series Baby Reindeer also cleaned up, nabbing awards for star and creator Richard Gadd plus co-star Jessica Gunning. But, FX was the evening’s big winner, with their epic series, Shogun, dominating the drama categories, with the great Hiroyuki Sanada winning the prize for Best Actor, and Anna Sawai taking Best Actress, alongside the show’s Best Drama win. It’s amazing to see how Shogun’s become an absolute phenomenon, with the show...

History was made at the 2024 Emmy Awards with one show becoming the most-awarded series in a single season!

Television’s biggest night was held on Sunday (September 15) at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, though many awards were also handed out last weekend at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony.

The FX series Shogun, which is streaming on Hulu, has won more awards for one single season of television than any other show in history. The series picked up 18 total wins for its first season, including Outstanding Drama Series and lead acting awards for Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai.

Best Actress...

If you missed the Emmy red carpet, you might not have known that Reservation Dogs star D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai arrived with an important symbol on his face. However, during the opening by Eugene and Dan Levy, the camera panned to the actor as the father-son duo cracked a joke about the Television Academy "discovering" a well beloved comedy series that's being honored for the first time in the acting and series categories this year despite being critically-acclaimed since its freshman season.

Woon-a-Tai is up for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance as Bear Smallhill and he's using the moment to shine light on a very serious cause. The red handprint across his mouth represents solidarity with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women whose stories are not often told and who are largely ignored by the media and law enforcement.
