Trailers of the Week: ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,’ Beyonce’s Coachella Doc, ‘Wine Country’ - Rolling Stone

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 05:00 AM PDT

First things first: Yes, the first official trailer for Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker has finally dropped. As did peeks at the Poheler/Fey/Rudolph comedy Wine Country (!), Beyonce's Coachella documentary (!!) and the second season of Fleabag (!!!). All this, plus an extended Lion King clip, a look at Netflix's sequel to Tales of the City and one seriously adrenaline-mainlining teaser for Luc Besson's latest action thriller. Also, apparently there's a new animated Addams Family movie happening? Check out this week's big-name trailers.

The Addams Family
Oscar Isaac voices the creepy and kooky Gomez; Charlize Theron lends her dulcet tones to the mysterious and spooky Morticia; Nick Kroll, Bette Midler, Finn Wolfhard and Chloë Grace Moretz round out the rest of the House of Addams. [Snap, snap] It opens on Halloween, because of course it does!

Anna
Because if you're going to watch a Le Femme Nikita retread, why not get it from the source? Director Luc Besson returns with another thriller involving a deadly female trained in the fine art of killing; judging from the dining-room fight scene included here, it looks like former model Sasha Luss will spend the bulk of the movie's running time going all Joanna-Wick on bad dudes. Bring on the gun fu, spy-vs-spy action and Helen Mirren with dyed-black hair and a thicker-than-borscht Russian accent. June 21st.

Chambers, Season 1
After a young woman named Sasha (Sivan Alyra Rose) has a heart attack, she receives a transplant ticker taken from a donor. Later, she meets the parents of the person who gave her a second chance at life … and suddenly, some eerie things start happening. Like, you know, hallucinating that things are crawling out of people's chests and like the dead girl is lying right next to you! Uma Thurman and Tony Goldwyn costar in what looks like Netflix's YA spin on good old-fashioned body horror. April 26th.

Fleabag, Season 2
Oh my god! [Looks at camera] We Americans finally get a chance to see what Renaissance woman Phoebe Waller-Bridge has cooked up for the sophomore, and apparently last, season of her award-winning TV show. [Lifts eyebrows approvingly] Her Bagness declares she's given up using sex to mask the empty void inside her [mock-frowns] but thanks to a hot Irish priest played by Sherlock's Andrew Scott [eyes widen appreciably], our heroine has also sort of, kind of found God. It's not subtitled "The Second Coming" for nothing, folks. [Smiles, nods, pats self on back] May 17th on Amazon Prime.

Homecoming
From the voiceover by the late, great Dr. Maya Angelou to the shot of Blue Ivy leading a group of dancers — including her mom — in some rhythmic hair-twirling, there is nothing we do not love about the trailer for this upcoming Netflix doc on Beyoncé's groundbreaking, earthshaking, era-defining set at Coachella 2018. Seriously, we're scared to watch the movie itself, for fear that it will not be as good as this dialogue-less promo. It's a work of art unto itself even before the music kicks in for that performance-footage-heavy second half. That said, yes, we will be tuning in April 17th just like the rest of humanity to check this out the second it drops.

The Lion King
Finally, a longer look at Disney's upcoming celebrity-studded, live-action version of the story of the Panthera Leo Who Would be King. You get stampedes, the tiny-paw-in-a-big-paw moment, lots of scarily photorealistic anthropomorphism and, yes, the recreated money shot of a digital Simba, Timon and Pumbaa silhouetted against a full moon. Hakuna matata, mofos! July 91th.

Pavarotti
When someone says "celebrity opera singer" — a tenor who both aficionados and your mom know by sight — you think Luciano. Ron Howard directs this doc on the life and times of the late, great Pavarotti, which promises an intimate look at the man behind the myth, his humble beginnings and early successes, etc. We just hope it goes out on a high note. Get it? "High note." Because, like, the opera. June 7th.

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker
Yeah, we got chills when Rey pulled out the light saber and flipped over a low-flying TIE fighter, too. (Ditto seeing Lando pilot the Millennium Falcon and hearing that laugh.) All sagas must come to end, and the last chapter of pop culture's number-one religion gives you a peek at its Passion Play. The first trailer has pretty much everything you'd want, from droid drop-ins to Kylo Ren body-slamming a dude to Luke's sage-like narration. Also we weren't tearing up when that Carrie Fisher hug scene showed up, it's just super dusty in this room. It hits theaters December 20th, but you already knew that.

Tales of the City
Has it really been over a quarter of a century since wide-eyed Mary Ann Singleton first made her way to Barbary Lane and discovered a whole new world in San Francisco? Was she — or we — ever so young? Laura Linney returns as an older, wiser version of author Armistead Maupin's heroine, coming back to the the City by the Bay after decades away. There will be tears and drag queens. Olympia Dukakis is back as the matriarchal landlady Anna Madrigal, while Ellen Page, Russian Doll's Charlie Barnett, Paul Gross and Molly Ringwald join the ensemble cast. Get ready to fly your freak (and rainbow) flags high once again. This is one TV nostalgia trip we can genuinely get behind. June 7th.

Wine Country
A group of old friends — played by actual old friends Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, Emily Spivey and Paula Pell — take a ladies-weekend trip to Napa Valley for some vino sipping and female bonding. There are laughter and tears, though the trailer suggests more of the latter; if this Netflix movie is even half as funny as Rudolph falling off the top of a piano, we're 100-percent in. (To be honest, they had us at "Poehler and Rudolph.") Also Tina Fey shows up for a scene or three as the woman renting them their getaway house. Starting chilling the Chablis. It hits the service (and select theaters) May 10th.

Going to Coachella just doesn’t mean what it used to - Los Angeles Times

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 06:35 PM PDT

And so it was: With mobile cameras feeding carefully composed close-ups to enormous video screens as Glover sang, danced and descended into the crowd at one point to find someone eager to smoke with him, the show felt more like a mini-movie than a live performance; the cinematography, if that's the word to use, was as gorgeous as that on Glover's brilliant FX series, "Atlanta." (True to his auteur's sensibility, Glover barred The Times from photographing the show.)

Coachella 2019: Return of 'Beychella'? Iconic Pyramid Stage on Display at Desert Festival - Newsweek

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 12:42 PM PDT

Last year's Coachella Music Festival was definitely one for the history books. Not only did Cardi B make her desert festival debut, but Beyoncé headlined the weekend festival. 

Those who were unable to see it in person may feel like they missed a history-making moment backed by an outrageous number of backup dancers and former Destiny's Child members. Luckily, those attending this year's festival will be able to get a taste of the experience of what's become known as "Beychella." 

Announced Thursday night through social media, Beyoncé's iconic pyramid-shaped stage will be on display for attendees' enjoyment throughout the festival. 

"Get an up-close look at the stage from Beyoncé's 2018 Coachella performance," a sign attached to a chain-linked fence on the festival's grounds reads. "Snap a photo of the pyramid set where Beyonce delivered the historic HBCU Homecoming experience."

One Twitter user responded: "What kind of icon!!!! The performance was so iconic they put the stage that it was performed on up as a monument!?! I'm going here tomorrow and I can't wait to look at the stage Beyoncé has stood on." 

The announcement came just days after Netflix debuted the trailer for the singer's documentary series surrounding the performance. 

The film will premiere Wednesday and will feature an "intimate, in-depth look" at the performance and reveal its "emotional road from creative concept to a cultural movement," according to Netflix's official description. 

It doesn't look like Beyoncé will return to perform on the pyramid-shaped stage this year, but Coachella 2019 headliners include A-listers Childish Gambino, Tame Impala and Ariana Grande. 

Weekend 2 will feature Kanye West and his viral gospel choir on Easter Sunday. If you were unable to snag a ticket before the festival sold out, performances will be live-streamed on both weekends.

Viewers can tune into three concurrent live streams of the various stages for this year's Coachella festival. YouTube is also offering a new feature that allows fans to pick and choose which performances they want to catch without having to worry about finding the live-stream channels for the next round of acts.

Coachella performances for weekend 1 start at 6:20 p.m. ET on Friday, 4:50 p.m. ET on Saturday and 5:15 p.m. ET Sunday.

Netflix debuts Beyoncé Coachella documentary on April 17th - Engadget

Posted: 07 Apr 2019 03:51 PM PDT

You probably don't think of Netflix as a go-to place for music documentaries beyond Taylor Swift's tour movie, but it's determined to burnish its image. The service has teased the April 17th debut of a previously rumored documentary on Beyoncé's much-hyped performance at the 2018 Coachella festival -- conveniently, just ahead of the 2019 festival's second weekend. You won't find a trailer or other details, but there's little doubt that the teaser is a callback to both the yellow outfits Bey's team wore as well as the launch of her Homecoming Scholars Awards Program at the same time.

Beyoncé Netflix documentary Homecoming: How did Beyoncé’s Coachella 2018 performance make history? - Evening Standard

Posted: 12 Apr 2019 03:14 AM PDT

Brace yourselves Beyoncé fans: Queen Bey's historic Coachella performance is coming to Netflix in documentary form.

On Sunday Netflix tweeted a yellow teaser image which read "Homecoming" in Greek lettering, before dropping a trailer which promised "an in-depth look at Beyoncé's celebrated 2018 Coachella performance, from creative concept to cultural movement #beyoncehomecoming."

Here's everything we know so far about the documentary. 

Why was Beyoncé's Coachella 2018 performance so iconic?

Beyoncé made history as the first black woman to headline Coachella in 2018. Her set celebrated historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with bleachers and a brass marching band onstage.

The performance also featured a much-anticipated Destiny's Child reunion, so fans could finally put those rumors of reconciliation to rest.

According to Billboard, it was the most viewed performance on Coachella's YouTube livestream. By the end of the fest, fans renamed Coachella 2018 'Beychella' in Beyoncé​'s honor.   

What is the Homecoming Netflix documentary about?

(Splash News)

Not much has been released about the documentary yet but since the performance made history, it will likely pay homage to that. The "Homecoming" trailer starts with a series of clips from before and during Beyonce's two-hour performance with a voiceover from Maya Angelou: "I want to be representative of my race — the human race. I have a chance to show how kind we can be, how intelligent and generous we can be. I have a chance to teach and to love and to laugh, and I know that when I finish doing what I'm sent here to do, I will be called home, and I will go home without any fear, trepidations, wondering what's going to happen."

As the clips continue, Angelou offers advice. "Tell the truth," says Angelou, "to yourself first, and to the children." The trailer concludes with additional footage from the performance, some praiseworthy words from the press and the release date.

Is Beyoncé at Coachella 2019?

(Splash News)

Beyoncé won't be taking her iconic performance back to Coachella this year. In her place, festival headliners will be Childish Gambino, Tame Impala and Ariana Grande.

What is Beyoncé's net worth? 

As of last year, Beyoncé's net worth is estimated to be $355 million. She was the highest paid female artist in 2017 but ranked third in 2018 beneath both Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. 

When is Homecoming released on Netflix in the UK and US?

The Beyhive is about to swarm — Homecoming will be released on April 17.

Coachella: Ariana Grande resurrects NSYNC with star-studded performance - Metro.co.uk

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 11:37 PM PDT

Ariana Grande and NSync at Coachella... Minus Justin Provider: Twitter/NSYNC Source: https://twitter.com/NSYNC/status/1117664136178147328

Ariana Grande has made the Coachella stage her own with a rather epic performance to close out the first weekend of the music festival.

Taking to the dusty stage on Sunday night in California, she brought out some of our favourites, in the names of NSYNC and Nicki Minaj, to herald in the age of the aptly-named Arichella.

Many were wondering whether she would challenge Beyonce to the title of Queen of Coachella and while Beyonce's set was something else in 2018, Ari has brought her own awesomeness to proceedings this time around.

After performing her hit Break Up With Your Girlfriend I'm Bored, little did we know four of the five members of NSYNC were chilling backstage waiting to be heralded onto the stage.

(But, er, we totally knew she'd bring them out. We had hope.)

JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick then came out and remixed Ari's song with their own boy band pop-tastic flavour.

As Ariana spun around the stage in a pair of high, high stilettos that just look uncomfortable to us sitting down, let alone to strut about a festival stage in, she said: 'I've been rehearsing my whole mother**king life for this moment.'

The new five-piece then launched into a rendition of Tearin' Up My Heart and it was the 90s all over again.

Without Justin Timberlake it was hard to feel the whole thing was complete, but Ariana made a brilliant stand-in as she aced the dancemoves alongside her on-stage comrades.

NSYNC are totally back (Picture: YouTube)

If you thought that was going to be the only celebrity appearance on her Coachella stage, though, you've got something coming.

As she performed Side To Side none other than Nicki Minaj popped up on the stage to complete her rap.

Then there was Nicki and it was awesome (Picture: YouTube)

Cue madness from the crowd.

However, unfortunately the pair hit some pretty nasty sound difficulties as Ariana told the techs they 'can't hear anything.'

It wasn't enough for her to do bring those performers out, though, as Ari then asked Diddy and Mase out to perform Mo Money Mo Problems.

As they closed the song they paid tribute to Biggie Smalls as well as Ariana's ex-boyfriend, the late Mac Miller.

Diddy to the mic as she said of Ari: 'She's still standing, she's still with y'all.'

As Ariana will tell us, though, you just keep breathin' as the show goes on.

Another year, another epic Coachella headliner. We bow down.

But, not, like Beyonce bow down. Two different bow downs there…

Huda Kattan, Nancy Ajram and most influential women of the Arab world - EsquireMe

Posted: 15 Apr 2019 01:02 AM PDT

  • We've put together a list of inspirational women in the Arab world who are taking the world by storm
  • We hear of international stars like Beyonce and Ellen DeGeneres in the news but the Middle East is also home to influential and powerful women who may go unnoticed
  • Stars such as Huda Kattan, Nancy Ajram, and Nadine Labaki call the region home
  • This list features self-made entrepreneurs, history makers, and stereotype crushers

There are influential women all around us. The truth is, we often overlook those closest to us, favouring the glitz and glamour of the mainstream celebrity. But for every Beyonce, there is a Nancy Ajram, and for every Ellen Degeneres, there is a Nadine Labaki. There are women who quietly work tirelessly behind the spotlight; inspiring change and empowering those around them. Here are the entrepreneurs, the history makers, and the catalysts for change in the Arab world.

Huda Kattan

Huda Kattan is an Iraqi-American beauty blogger, make-up artist and entrepreneur. She is one of the most influential women in the Middle East, with 35.4 million Instagram followers, and was featured in Time's 25 Most Influential People on the Internet in 2017. Kattan launched Huda Beauty, her cosmetics line which sells more than 140 products, in 2013. It is now valued at over $1 billion, while Kattan's estimated net worth is over $550 million - leading to Forbes recognising her as one of the Richest Self Made Women in the world.

Kattan hopes to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs, and has set up HB Angel Investment Group - an early stage investment fund to enable new entrepreneurs to get their own businesses up and running.

Joelle Mardinian

Mardinian has been a popular public figure in the UAE following her move from London in 2004. A self-made, Dubai-based businesswoman, Mardinian is the founder and CEO of Joelle Group, a highly successful multi-conglomerate with businesses in clinical and cosmetic beauty. Having featured on the Esquire 100 list in 2018, the Lebanese entrepreneur is responsible for brands such as Maison de Joelle, Clinica Joelle and Joelle Paris. Mardinian had previously been a TV presenter on MBC for 13 years before founding Maison de Joelle - which now has 11 branches across the GCC.

She is also considered one of the Middle East's top social influencers, with 9.8 million followers on Instagram. 

Nadine Labaki

Lebanese director Nadine Labaki began pushing the boundaries and making headlines in 2003, when she directed the controversial "Akhasmak ah" music video for Nancy Ajram. From there, the filmmaker has continued to break the glass ceiling, as she is set to be the first Arab national to sit amongst the board of Un Certain Regard at the 72nd edition of the Cannes Film Festival - arguably the biggest event on the entertainment industry's calendar. Not only will she be the first person to represent the Middle East on the panel, but she will be the president of the committee in the 2019 installment taking place next month.

Another huge accomplishment to add to her ever-growing list of accolades, with her powerful 2018 film, Capernaum, was nominated for both the Golden Globe and Oscars - as well as winning Labaki the Jury Prize at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, receiving a 15-minute standing ovation following its screening. To top it off, the film did not feature any notable professional actors, with the lead role played by a real-life Syrian refugee. 

Hayla Ghazal 

After her parents objected to her pursuing a career as a television presenter, the Syrian launched her YouTube channel at just 18. She has since amassed over 6.3 million subscribers on her Arabic-language channel HaylaTV, where she produces a wide variety of content - ranging from lifestyle, to cooking, and make-up tutorials. Ghazal is a highly influential social media star, clocking nearly 2 million followers on Instagram. The YouTube sensation was also appointed as a UN change ambassador as part of a collaboration aiming to tackle YouTube's gender inequality. She is also a successful entrepreneur, and owns Hayla Couture - a fashion boutique in Jumeirah - and plans to build an empire whilst increasing her offline notability.

Raha Moharrak

Not only is Raha Moharrak the youngest Arab to conquer Mount Everest, she is also the first Saudi woman to accomplish the feat. She has also scaled seven other peaks, including Mount Kilimanjaro, continuing to break the stereotypes associated with Saudi women. Moharrak uses the opportunity to subvert the stereotypes as a driving force behind her decision to begin climbing; "I refuse for my nationality, my gender, my race, my religion to stop me from achieving something that I believe I can do," she told Esquire Middle East, who crowned her Woman of the Year in the 2018 edition of the Esquire Awards. 

Nancy Ajram 

Having signed as an artist to EMI aged just 15, it is no surprise that singer Nancy Ajram has been a household name for the past two decades. The Lebanese icon is one of the best-selling Middle Eastern female artist of the last decade, and her albums have continued to top sales charts in the Middle East in recent years. The most recent video she released in 2018 has over 38 million views, which proves to her critics that she is a timeless star who is here to stay. Ajram has been working with UNICEF since 2009, when she became the first female regional ambassador for the Middle East and North Africa.

Amani Yahya 

The Yemeni star is a crossover between a rapper and an activist, discussing struggles faced by Middle Eastern - particularly Yemeni - women, including sexual harassment, child marriage, gender inequalities, among other injustices. Amani's powerful raps have abolished the negative connotations associated with hip-hop in the Arab world, with the young artist proving that rap can be used to spread messages of positivity and resilience, rather than violence and aggression. She raps in English to avoid her audience focusing on her Yemeni dialect, which according to her, leads to meaningless discrimination issues. Instead, it allows her to push her content to a younger audience.

Amani has overcome backlash from conservative Yemeni society in order to pursue her dream and instigate change. The nation has since been devastated by a civil war, leading the rapper to seek asylum in Saudi Arabia, and she has been unable to release any new music. Her previous work continues to reach the youth, inspiring the next generation to advocate for change in the region.

Amani Al Hosani 

In 2012, Amani Al Hosani became the first female Emirati nuclear scientist. She began her career in the oil industry, but switched to the nuclear energy industry; realising that it would be important for the future of the UAE. Al Hosani is now employed in a managerial role at Nawah Energy Company, operators of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in Abu Dhabi, which is set to be the first commercial nuclear power station in the Arabian Peninsula when it begins running next year. Al Hosani will undoubtedly be an important asset to her nation as it strives to utilise nuclear power - given her expertise in designing nuclear reactors, as well as analytic sciences for safety.

Lama A. Younis 


Lama Younis is both an activist and an entrepreneur. The Saudi Arabian founded the Hissah Enrichment Centre, named after her mother, in Dubai. Since it opened in 2013, the Hissah Enrichment Centre has focused on the prevention of child abuse and the empowerment of victims of abuse in the region. Younis founded The Lama Campaign in 2015, dedicated to ensuring the protection and well-being of Muslim children and youth through education and awareness.

Noor Sweid


Appearing on Forbes' Top 50 Women in Tech list of 2018, Dubai-based Noor Sweid is one of the most distinguished venture capitalists in the region. With her firm Global Ventures, Sweid the only woman in the Middle East running a venture capital fund. Sweid is also a history maker, becoming the first woman to orchestrate an IPO in the region when Depa, the luxury interior contracting company, was listed on NASDAQ Dubai and the London Stock Exchange in 2008. If all of that wasn't enough, the entrepreneur also founded and sold ZenYoga, the largest chain of pilates and yoga studios in the Middle East.
