The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri plays a young writer invited to the secluded compound of Moretti (John Malkovich), an international pop star who disappeared 30 years ago. Edebiri’s character learns that Moretti’s cult of diehard fans populates the compound. The more she investigates the compound, the more she learns about Moretti’s sinister plan.

Opus’ ensemble features Rosario Dawson, Murray Bartlett, Amber Midthunder, Young Mazino, Stephanie Suganami, and Tony Hale.

Edebiri is best known for her Emmy-winning role as Sydney Adamu on The Bear. Edebiri previously starred in BottomsTheater Camp, and Inside Out 2.

Opus is written and directed by Mark Anthony Green in his feature directorial debut. Green previously worked at GQ magazine and directed the short Trapeze, U.S.A. Green produces Opus with Collin Creighton, Brad Weston, Poppy Hanks, Jelani Johnson, and Josh Bachove.

Opus is scheduled to premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival on January 27. On the Sundance official site, it reads: “Amidst eye-catching, synthy musical numbers and the enigmatic desert compound, the facade of civility gradually erodes between the pair, revealing the underbelly of a tense, psychosocial game of cat and mouse. Opus offers an electric, clever indictment of the literal cult of celebrity, presenting characters and dangers within a symphonic ambience — giving way to a foreboding ease through which power is generated and embedded within pop culture.”

Opus opens in theaters on March 14.

Final Destination: Bloodlines teaser trailer: Welcome back, death
A skull has a chain hanging from its nose in Final Destination Bloodlines.

After a 14-year hiatus, the Final Destination franchise returns for a new chapter, Final Destination: Bloodlines, which promises to be as deadly as ever.

Warner Bros. has released the first teaser trailer for Final Destination: Bloodlines. The two-minute clip quickly reminded people of two of the franchise's stalwarts: no one is safe, and death is inevitable.
The teaser follows the life of a tattoo artist inside his shop. After piercing a client's tongue, the tattoo artist sits down to tattoo the word "Dad" on his wrist. Final Destination is famous for its elaborate death scenes, and this teaser sets up another brutal kill. The chain from a ceiling fan breaks and attaches itself to the artist's nose ring. The chain gets wrapped in the fan and pulls him closer to the ceiling. A light breaks onto the floor and lands in disinfectant, which starts a fire. The fan falls from the ceiling and sends the man with it to the floor and into the fire.
As for the actual story, the movie's plot details are being kept under wraps. The logline from Warner reads, "Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all."
