New trailer for Woody Allen's Cafe Society features Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, more


It seems like it was just yesterday that Amazon was shelling out big bucks for Woody Allen’s latest film, and now the first Café Society trailer is already here. The preview highlights the romantic comedy’s ensemble cast, which includes famous faces like Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell, and Blake Lively.

In the trailer, we’re introduced to Bobby (played by Eisenberg), a young man who arrives in Hollywood and is quickly shown the ropes by his uncle Phil (Carell). A mover and shaker, Phil gives Bobby entrée into the industry, teaching him valuable lessons, such as “this whole town runs on ego.” He also introduces him to his assistant, Bonnie (Stewart), who immediately seems to catch Bobby’s attention.

Like any Allen flick, there doesn’t appear to be a clear-cut path to happily ever after for the protagonist. Bonnie has a significant other, and Bobby also shows interest in Kat (Lively) and encounters a woman named Candy (Anna Camp). Naturally, this sets up comedic situations, notably opportunities for Bobby to be gifted wisdom on matters of the heart: “Unrequited love kills more people in one year than tuberculosis,” he is told.

The cast also includes Jeannie Berlin, Corey Stoll, Parker Posey, Ken Stott, Judy Davis, and Paul Schneider. Allen both wrote and directed the romantic comedy, which will premieres next month at France’s Cannes Film Festival. Café Society will later be released in theaters stateside by Lionsgate on August 12, and beyond that, Amazon Prime Video users can look forward to it becoming available for streaming.

While Café Society is Allen’s first project for Amazon to debut, it’s not his only one; the filmmaker is trying his hand at creating a television series. Still untitled, it stars Miley Cyrus, Elaine May, John Magaro, and Rachel Brosnahan, among others.

One of HBO’s biggest hits is back. Here’s why you need to stream 2024’s most addictive crime saga
Three people stand at a wedding in The Jinx: Part Two.

On March 15, 2015, the most infamous hot mic moment ever to air on television shocked the world. Real estate scion Robert Durst, who had been implicated, but had thus far escaped justice in three murders committed from 1982 to 2003, inexplicably agreed to sit for a series of interviews with filmmaker Andrew Jarecki. The director had made a fictional feature film, All Good Things, that was loosely based on the disappearance of Durst’s first wife, Kathie, starring Barbie actor Ryan Gosling and Civil War's Kirsten Dunst.

Confronted, finally, with near-irrefutable evidence collected by Jarecki’s team that seemed to implicate Durst in the murder of his best friend Susan Berman in 2001, Durst lumbered off to the bathroom, where, forgetting his microphone was still on, he murmured, “What the hell did I do?  Killed them all, of course.” Such was the ending of The Jinx, a phenomenon for HBO when it aired more than nine years ago. But there was more story still to tell, and Jarecki’s follow-up, The Jinx: Part Two, now airing on HBO and streaming on Max, bucks the odds by sustaining the intensity and pure weirdness with which The Jinx concluded nearly a decade ago.

10 best action-comedies of all-time, ranked
Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon.

While straight action films like John Wick are far from extinct, it's the action comedies that tend to become the popular box office hits. Movie fans just love to laugh at the funny parts while enjoying the accompanying action. Not every action comedy is created equal, and Hollywood has admittedly gone to the well with the buddy-cop movies a little bit too often.

This weekend, The Fall Guy is the latest action comedy to attempt to give the genre some fresh blood, even though it's technically based on a TV series from the '80s that has largely been forgotten. Regardless, that's as good a reason as any to update our list of the best action comedies of all time. It would be too easy to load up this list with films from the '80s and '90s, when action comedies were at their peak. However, we've also saved some slots for more recently released action comedies that deserve some recognition as well.
