What is 250 lbs., over eight feet long, and costs more than Subaru? It’s the Nosferatu novelty sarcophagus bed, of course. Focus Features announced today the ultimate gift for the Nosferatu-heads out there, a replica of the resting place of the famous vampire at the center of Robert Eggers’ newest film. Retailing for $20,000, the bed looks like what you would imagine the bed of a Transylvanian walking nightmare to look like— heavy, imposing and gray. “Hand crafted from premium materials including a wooden base with intricate carvings. These highly collectible Sarcophagi also feature a distinctive interior with a custom-fit mattress and foam lid for easy opening at sundown,” reads the description of the sarcophagi...

Three years ago, Daniel Craig's time as James Bond came to an end. The last few years, various rumors, suggestions, and bits of speculation have cropped up regarding who will take over as 007 in the next iteration of the legendary franchise. As of now, nothing has been confirmed by Eon Productions or the film's producers. That said, they do know what they're looking for when it comes to finding Craig's successor, and there are a few key requirements. "It will be a man. He'll likely be in his 30s. Whiteness is not a given. And whoever says yes is doing so with the expectation of at least a decade's worth of films."...

Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. re-released the filmmaker's 2014 sci-fi blockbuster "Interstellar" in theaters both in North America and overseas in honor of its 10-year anniversary. "Interstellar" made $4.6 million domestically in its first weekend of re-release, good enough to place sixth on the charts for the weekend. Most impressive of all? The film was only playing on 165 screens, most IMAX, meaning that it scored a ridiculous per-screen average close to $28,000. The showings were booked solid. The film centers on an ex-pilot-turned-farmer named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), who must leave his family and a foundering Earth behind to lead an expedition traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars. The stacked cast also includes a young Timothée Chalamet, Anne Hathaway ("Rachel Getting Married"), Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty"), Topher Grace ("That '70s Show"), and Casey Affleck ("Gone Baby Gone")...

Grok, the artificial-intelligence chatbot from Musk’s xAI startup that last month became public to all users on X (née Twitter) wa asked: Who would be the most hilarious actor to portray Elon Musk in your opinion? The answer from Grok: Sacha Baron Cohen, the British comedic actor known for “Borat,” “Brüno” and his Ali G rude-boy character. One reason, according to the AI bot, is the surprise factor: Casting Baron Cohen “would be unexpected in a way that would generate buzz. Fans might not see it coming, and the contrast between Cohen’s usual characters and Musk’s tech mogul persona could provide a comedic goldmine,” Grok said...

“Eno” was already a groundbreaking documentary, as the first non-fiction feature film to screen in a different randomly-generated version each showing. Gary Hustwit‘s technologically innovative doc will be available to viewers at home for the first time in a special 24-hour livestream with multiple versions of the film about the British musician and producer who played with Roxy Music and worked with David Bowie, the Talking Heads and U2. Special surprise guests will drop by the livestream to perform and give talks, and the stream will also incorporate the generative art prequel piece “Nothing Can Ever Be the Same” that showed at the Venice Biennale. “Every few hours there’ll be a version of the film, but there’ll be all kinds of things in between,” says Hustwit. “You could dip in, watch a version in the morning, go to work, come back, watch another one in the middle of the night.”...
