We now have our first look at Robert Eggers' Werwulf.

Focus Features posted the first photo and official description for the upcoming film to Instagram on Thursday. Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as a character called Man in the movie. The photo features him in the forest surrounded by dogs and holding a large spear. 

Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe also make up the film's cast. All three actors previously worked with Eggers in his film Nosferatu.

Focus Features' first-look post describes Taylor-Johnson's Man as "a 13th-century man haunted by his bestial metamorphosis."

The film's tagline has also been released. It reads, "Werwulf is a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation, and the devil within.”

Werwulf is set to release on Christmas Day. This is similar to Nosferatu, which released on Christmas Day in 2024.

Nosferatu became Focus Features' second-highest-grossing movie in the U.S. It made $90.5 million in theaters after its December 2024 release.

Somebody once told me Donkey is getting his own movie.

DreamWorks Animation has officially announced that a Shrek spinoff film centered on the character of Donkey is headed to movie theaters. It will arrive on big screens on June 30, 2028.

The studio announced the news on Instagram Thursday.

"Start heating up those waffle irons. DONKEY is setting out on his very own adventure June 30, 2028," the post's caption reads.

The new movie will be an origin story following how Donkey came to be, according to Deadline, which broke the story. Eddie Murphy will once again voice the animated talking animal.

The Lego Batman Movie's Charlie Bean is set to direct Donkey, while Matt Flynn will co-direct. Rebecca Huntley will produce it.

Murphy previously spoke about this upcoming Donkey spinoff in an interview with Screen Rant in July 2025.

"We’re doing a Donkey one, and that’ll [be released] three years from now," Murphy said at the time. “Donkey‘s going to be like how Puss in Boots had his own movie, Donkey’s going to have his own movie — [his] own little story with his dragon wife and his kids that are half-dragon and half-donkeys. They’ve written this funny story."

A fifth Shrek film is set to release in theaters a year ahead of the Donkey movie on June 30, 2027.

DreamWorks previously made two other Shrek spinoff films. Puss in Boots was released in 2011, while its sequel, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, debuted in 2022.

The official trailer for the upcoming Sense and Sensibility film has arrived.

Daisy Edgar-Jones will star as Elinor in the adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel, which arrives to theaters on Oct. 16.

Also starring are Esmé Creed-Miles as Marianne Dashwood, Caitríona Balfe as Mrs. Dashwood, Frank Dillane as John Willoughby, George MacKay as Edward Ferrars, Herbert Nordrum as Colonel Brandon, Bodhi Rae Breathnach as Margaret Dashwood and Fiona Shaw as Mrs. Jennings.

Georgia Oakley directs the movie for Focus Features and Working Title. Bestselling author Diana Reid adapted Austen's book for the film's screenplay. This adaptation is "an irresistible new take on Jane Austen’s iconic Sense and Sensibility: a charming, witty, and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood," according to an official description.

Sense and Sensibility, of course, follows sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. It shows the journey of their love lives, losses and financial uncertainty, all of which they navigate as complete opposites in emotional approach.

The new trailer shows off this take on the classic story, with sisters Elinor and Marianne navigating their lives and considering the possibility of romantic love.

"The man who loves me must burn with it, with all his passions, without the lightest restraint or hesitation," Creed-Miles' Marianne says in the trailer.

The trailer ends with Marianne saying, "I think a man ought to be at least artificially passionate or he'd be sincerely dull," before admitting to her sister, "I require so much."

The film marks the third Austen adaptation for Focus Features and Working Title after the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film and 2020's Emma. Sense and Sensibility was previously brought to the screen by Ang Lee in his 1995 film starring Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant.

Voicemails for Isabelle, which became the #1 movie on Netflix the first weekend it was released, has a musical pedigree. The score was co-composed by Este Haim of the group HAIM, and it features several big pop music needle drops, including Taylor Swift's "Marjorie," from Evermore, and "New Year's Day," from Reputation.

Director Leah McKendrick, who identifies as a "hardcore Swiftie," told ABC Audio that she was thrilled to be able to use the songs in the film. "I love Taylor. She's the poet of our time. She's the Shakespeare of our times, the voice of our generation," she said.

"I think we can all really connect with this wistful little girl that became a woman, who has experienced the full spectrum of love and heartbreak and articulates it so gorgeously in a way that is accessible and, simultaneously poetry," she continued, adding, "She amazes me. ... I want Taylor Swift's songs in all my movies."

"Marjorie" is used to soundtrack a pivotal moment in the film when Jill, played by Zoey Deutch, is grieving for her younger sister Isabelle, who passed away. "New Year's Day" is heard when Jill's love interest Wes, played by Nick Robinson, is missing her. 

"In my mind, we have this girl who's yearning, longing, grieving, and we have the perfect song: 'Marjorie' just feels so right," said McKendrick. "But by the end, he's the one longing, yearning, grieving -- listening to Taylor Swift."

At first, McKendrick wasn't sure if the production would be able to afford not two Taylor Swift songs. But, she said, "Netflix really understood ... [that] [m]y music is my everything. It's part of my process. It's a part of what I want to deliver to my audience. It will always be banger after banger in all of my movies. I own that."

Tom Holland referred to his wife, Zendaya, by an unexpected name at the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere in Rome.

While the pair were talking to different reporters on the red carpet at the premiere, Holland called out to Zendaya to ask her a question, as seen in a video shared by People.

"Maree!" Holland shouted, to which Zendaya responded back, "Yeah?"

Holland then asked her where they were going after the premiere, to which she said, "Giolitti's." Zendaya added more context to the reporter she was speaking with, telling them, "That's where I'm going after this."

Zendaya's full name is Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, meaning Holland used one of her middle names to refer to her on the carpet.

Holland also posted photos of him and Zendaya at the premiere to his Instagram on Tuesday.

The first photo in his carousel is a black-and-white picture of him and Zendaya walking hand-in-hand across the Ponte Sant'Angelo in Rome. Zendaya is dressed in a vintage Giorgio Armani web dress.

The second photo was taken in color and features the couple looking up at the sky as a Spider-Man: Brand New Day graphic is displayed on Castel Sant'Angelo behind them. Many other black-and-white and color photos follow in the rest of Holland's post.

"When in Rome! Spider-Man Brand New Day," Holland captioned the carousel.

It's time to go back to Texas.

We come to this official trailer for magic.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official trailer for Practical Magic 2. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman once again star as the magical Owens sisters in this highly anticipated sequel to the 1998 film Practical Magic.

Along with Bullock and Kidman, who are both producing the project, the film stars Joey King, Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, Solly McLeod, Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest.

Practical Magic 2 follows the Owens sisters as they "must confront the dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all in a must-see cinematic event of fun, magic and mayhem," according to an official description from Warner Bros.

The trailer finds all of the Owens women living in the same picturesque white home by the water from the first film.

"No magic is stronger than sisterhood," Channing's Franny says in the trailer. "Cast by fate, tested by time and never broken."

We also see the daughters of Bullock's Sally Owens and Kidman's Gillian Owens dreaming about romantic love — and doubting the family curse. That doubt causes heartbreak when Kylie (King) finds her boyfriend dead.

"Kylie said she's gonna go fix the curse," Gillian says later in the trailer.

"This will lead her into the dark path," Franny responds. "If you want to find her, you have to work together."

Susanne Bier directed the film from a script by Akiva Goldsman and Georgia Pritchett. It's based on the novel The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman.

Practical Magic 2 debuts to theaters on Sept. 11.

An emotional Savannah Guthrie spoke out on Tuesday following new reports that a ransom note said her mother, Nancy Guthrie, died shortly after she was abducted.

The Today show host's 84-year-old mother was kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home in the early hours of Feb. 1 and remains missing, according to authorities.

Various ransom notes were sent to the media in the days after Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. The second ransom note received by a Tucson television station, days after Nancy Guthrie's abduction, said she died shortly after she was taken and was buried in nature, sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News.

Savannah Guthrie wiped away tears as she addressed the news on Today, saying, "I'm not involved in our coverage, but I can't pretend I'm not here."

"And so, since I am, I wanted to just take the opportunity to ask people -- to really, to beg people -- to come forward," she said. "Somebody knows something."

"This is a news story today that is on your radar, but this is the life that my sister lives, that I live, that my brother lives, that our extended families live, that our children live, every day. And we are in agony," Savannah Guthrie said through tears.

"Please do the right thing. ... We love our mom, and we'll never stop looking for her, ever," she said.

Images from Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera showing a masked man at her house were released by authorities early on in the investigation, but the 84-year-old's whereabouts remain unknown, and the suspect remains unidentified.

Anyone with information is urged to call 911, the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or the Pima County Sheriff's Department at 520-351-4900.

Voicemails for Isabelle is calling, and Leah McKendrick wants you to answer.

McKendrick wrote and directed the new Netflix rom-com, which became the #1 film in the U.S. during its first weekend on the streaming service. She spoke to ABC Audio just ahead of the film's release, where she said romantic comedies raised her.

"Longing has been a big theme in my life. Longing for my career, longing for love. And I think for a longing girl, a rom-com is her genre," McKendrick said. "I believe that rom-coms are for everybody, but I think the girls really own that. And are unabashed about it."

The rom-com follows a young chef named Jill (Zoey Deutch), who copes with the loss of her sister and best friend, Isabelle (Ciara Bravo), by leaving her voicemails describing her chaotic life.

McKendrick says the idea for this story came from her relationship with her own sister.

"My little sister is my first love and true love, and I feel like she's the one that taught me what that even looks like," McKendrick said. "When she was in college in New York and I was struggling for my dreams in LA, I would call her and leave these rambling voicemails."

The voicemails featured McKendrick "crying about the job I didn't get, the guy that I went on a bad date with or boy problems" — the list goes on and on.

"It's really hard to curate a voicemail. I think it's a stream of consciousness, especially if you're talking to your sister," McKendrick said. "I just thought, 'I want a love story where a man falls in love with her for her heart and not for the way that she looks or the boxes that she checks or the chemistry that they have when they meet.' It's just really just him witnessing her."

A second ransom note received by a Tucson, Arizona, television station following the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie said she died shortly after her abduction, sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News.

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home in the early hours of Feb. 1.

In the days after Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, various ransom notes were sent to the media.

The Guthrie family received two notes that were sent to Tucson media outlets that investigators deemed potentially credible and the FBI had tried to trace their origin.

The first note demanded cryptocurrency for Nancy Guthrie's return. The second note, according to sources, said she had died shortly after she was taken and was buried in nature.

The notes were received within days of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, but ABC News has not previously disclosed the contents of the second note.

Shortly after receiving the second note, Savannah Guthrie posted a statement in a Feb. 7 Instagram post.

"We received your message and we understand," Savannah Guthrie said at the time. "We beg you now to return our mother to us. ... This is very valuable to us, and we will pay."

Images from Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera showing a masked man at her house were released early on in the investigation, but the 84-year-old's whereabouts remain unknown and the suspect remains unidentified.

In March, Savannah Guthrie spoke out in her first interview, telling her friend and former co-host Hoda Kotb, "Honestly, we don't know anything."

Savannah Guthrie said her family "cannot be at peace" without answers and she pleaded for anyone with information to come forward.

"Someone can do the right thing, and it is never too late to do the right thing," she said.

Anyone with information is urged to call 911, the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or the Pima County Sheriff's Department at 520-351-4900.

Keanu Reeves is looking to enter the world of Lego.

The actor is in negotiations to star in a live-action and animation hybrid Lego film, ABC Audio has learned. His Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley will direct him in this new film for Universal Pictures based on the popular toy franchise.

Universal landed the rights to Lego in 2020. Several Lego films, including 2014's The Lego Movie and 2017's The Lego Batman Movie, were released through Warner Bros. Pictures and remain part of that studio's library.

Reeves voices the Toy Story character Duke Caboom, who first appeared in Cooley's 2019 sequel Toy Story 4. The actor reprised the role in the franchise's fifth film, which is currently in theaters after its June 19 debut.
