Amanda Seyfried recently sat down with “Superman” star Rachel Brosnahan for an insightful Interview magazine discussion. During the conversation, Seyfried candidly addressed Hollywood's growing reliance on sequels, acknowledging her own role in perpetuating this trend as the star of films like “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” and “Ted 2.” Despite her involvement in these projects, Seyfried remains passionate about bringing fresh stories to life, including a potential sequel to the cult classic “Jennifer’s Body,” which she hopes to co-star in once again alongside Megan Fox.

Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane in James Gunn’s highly anticipated reboot of the Superman franchise, shared her excitement about the film's release this July. The movie arrives amidst a wave of major Hollywood sequels, sparking playful banter between the two actresses about the overwhelming presence of franchises in today's cinematic landscape.

“We have Jurassic Park [‘Jurassic World Rebirth’], ‘Superman,’ and ‘Fantastic Four.’ What’s our Barbenheimer between ‘Fantastic Four,’ ‘Jurassic Park,’ and ‘Superman’?” Brosnahan quipped, drawing laughter from both herself and Seyfried.

“It’s Fantastic Super-park,” Seyfried replied with a chuckle. “It’s Four Superparks. Four Dinosaurs. Four Super Dinosaurs. I don’t know!” Her tone shifted slightly as she expressed her longing for more original content. “There’s definitely some fatigue with sequels. I crave new stories, ones that push boundaries and take risks. It takes real courage to create something truly unique—and unfortunately, many studios shy away from that because they’re focused

That moment, a fictionalized version of an actual incident, may not be visualized in a literal sense, but a vibrant picture is painted nonetheless thanks to the performance of actor Robert Shaw, who plays the shark hunter Quint. It's a scene that packs a wallop within a movie that is suffused with indelible moments and characters. Heck, the monologue isn't even the only standout bit of Shaw's performance alone — one could also single out Quint's introductory monologue, wherein he boasts about capturing and killing the shark which has been terrorizing the citizens of Amity Island. Then there's the lovely bonding scene between Quint, Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), where the dispa

Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies, the hosts of a live auction featuring personal possessions of the late David Lynch, embarked on an emotional journey through Los Angeles. The director's iconic red leather chair, personalized with his name, was transported to several locations that hold deep significance in Lynch's life and cinematic legacy. This symbolic tour concluded with a poignant stop at Variety’s office on Monday.

Known as The David Lynch Collection, this highly anticipated auction will take place on Wednesday at the Peninsula Beverly Hills and simultaneously online at juliensauctions.com. It is a celebration of Lynch's unparalleled contributions to cinema, offering fans and collectors alike a rare opportunity to own pieces of his world.

In the days leading up to the event, the chair embarked on a mysterious citywide tour, visiting places that resonate deeply within Lynch's filmography and personal history. Clues were shared on social media, inviting fans to guess each location. The journey began at Winkie’s Diner, famously featured in "Mulholland Drive," on June 12. From there, it traveled to the Mulholland Drive street sign, the intersection of Hollywood and La Brea (where Lynch once staged a spirited protest advocating for Laura Dern's recognition), and Bob’s Big Boy, a Toluca Lake diner where Lynch often gathered with stars like Dern and Kyle MacLachlan. These stops were livestreamed on Julien’s Instagram from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. PT, allowing viewers worldwide to witness the tribute firsthand.

The chair itself, estimated to fetch between $5,000 and $7,000, serves as a centerpiece for the auction, which features over 450 objects. Among these treasures are Lynch's musical instruments, furniture, props, home decor, and

Henry Winkler, who portrayed the iconic Arthur Fonzarelli (the Fonz), was instrumental in Howard's transition from actor to director. Their on-screen camaraderie extended beyond the set, with Winkler supporting Howard's aspirations wholeheartedly. In fact, when Winkler agreed to star alongside Howard in Night Shift (1982), it secured the film’s greenlight—a testament to their enduring professional bond. Speaking recently to EW, Howard reflected, "Henry was always so supportive of that. When Henry said yes to 'Night Shift,' that's what got that movie greenlit."

By stepping away from Fonzie's leather jacket and catchphrases to take on the more grounded role of Chuck Lumley in Night Shift, Winkler helped Howard realize his dream of becoming a studio director. This marked the beginning of a flourishing career that would see Howard helm critically acclaimed films like Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, and Frost/Nixon. Even today, Howard fondly acknowledges Winkler's contribution: "He played a hand in helping my dream ultimately come true."

Howard departed "Happy Days" after its seventh season to focus on his burgeoning directin

"The Great Gatsby" stands as perhaps the most potent critique in American literature of a society consumed by materialistic desire and excess. When director Baz Luhrmann embarked on his 2013 film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless novel, he was tasked with bringing to life Jay Gatsby’s world—a realm that radiates glamour yet drips with garish extravagance, all centered around the enigmatic millionaire's mansion. With breathtaking visuals and an immersive sensory experience, Luhrmann succeeded in capturing the opulence of The Great Gatsby like never before, plunging audiences into the heart of Gatsby's dazzling yet dizzying parties and flamboyant lifestyle.

If you're watching Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby without being moved by Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of Jay Gatsby—his unfulfilled longing for unimaginable wealth, his perpetual yearning for an unattainable dream—or if you remain unmoved by the film's depiction of how material pursuits corrupt the soul, or even indifferent to the possibility of becoming collateral damage in the tangled web of relationships, then perhaps what captures your imagination is the allure of Gatsby's mansion itself. You might find yourself wondering: just how much would it cost to own such a palace?

Alas, the mansion seen in The Great Gatsby—much like the elusive American Dream—is nothing more than an illusion. Unlike the dream, however, this mirage was crafted by masterful set designers who drew inspiration from a real-life estate nestled in Long Island. That very property is now on the market, priced at a staggering $85 million—a figure so astronomical it could make even Dr. T.J. Eckleburg's eyes glisten with envy.
