Amid the throngs of cringe content flooding TikTok these days, Martin Scorsese has arrived to cleanse the FYP. The "Killers of the Flower Moon" director makes periodic cameos in youngest daughter Francesca's TikToks, emerging as an unexpected star on the app. Each wholesome clip offers a peek at what life is like with one of America's greatest filmmakers as your dad, and we must admit it looks pretty entertaining.
Martin and Francesca's latest collaboration is a one-minute-and-31-second cinematic masterpiece. In a clip shared on Oct. 18, Martin interviews a contender for his next onscreen muse: the family dog, Oscar. (Apt name choice, might we add.) After asking the pup to portray a range of emotions, Martin joyously exclaims, "Brilliant! Brilliant! You've got the role." Fans hyped up Martin's performance in the comments, joking about logging the video on their Letterboxd. Martin and his 23-year-old daughter have also taken on several popular TikTok challenges together, from the "I have a flea in my hand" trend to guessing the purpose of various cosmetic products.
Martin, 80, shares Francesca with his wife, Helen Morris. He has two other daughters, 47-year-old Domenica and 57-year-old Cathy, whom he shares with previous spouses. Francesca is following in her father's footsteps, with her directorial debut, "Fish Out of Water," out this June. She also previously appeared in HBO's "We Are Who We Are," "The Departed," and "The Aviator." We're grateful that the father-daughter duo continue blessing the internet with endearing content amid their busy schedules. Here's to hoping they participate in a dance challenge next.

With film festival season comes a multitude of glimpses at the upcoming winter cinema slate, and one of the most exciting is a new trailer for "Saltburn," a psychological thriller from Emerald Fennell, the writer-director of the Oscar-winning "Promising Young Woman." This first look gives us illustrious aristocratic parties, ominous butlers, steamy sex scenes through windows, and a never-been-sexier Jacob Elordi ("Euphoria") doused in glorious sunlight. The film's stacked cast features Barry Keoghan, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe, Rosamund Pike, and Richard E. Grant.
The first trailer dropped shortly before the film had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, and early reviews demonstrate that this is one to watch. The latest trailer, released on Oct. 19, follows the first look we were given in September. The movie has been described by critics as "diabolical, sexy, dangerous, horny, brave, hilarious, audacious, and insane," with Entertainment Weekly calling it "a provocative, violent portrait of repulsion and desire." Keoghan's performance has been called out as "fearless," and Pike, as well as the film's technical aspects and writing, have begun to accumulate Oscar buzz.
Between the success of "Promising Young Woman," Keoghan's recent supporting actor Oscar nomination for "The Banshees of Inisherin," and the hype surrounding Elordi as Elvis in Sofia Coppola's "Priscilla," the stars have aligned for Fennell.
Regardless of all that context, the film's trailer pulls people in on its own merit; its rich, warm visuals offer a captivating, enthralling, and erotic glimpse into the lives of the wealthy. With anticipation building, here's what we know about Fennell's new film "Saltburn."
"Saltburn" Plot
"Saltburn" centers on Oliver Quick (Keoghan), an Oxford University student in the mid-2000s who finds himself becoming increasingly obsessed with his classmate Felix Catton (Elordi). When Felix invites Oliver to spend the summer at his family home, from which the film gets its title, things descend into chaos as it becomes clear this is a summer that Oliver will never forget. Director Fennell has described the film as "a very British tale of excess."
"Saltburn" Cast"
Barry Keoghan stars as Oliver Quick, while Jacob Elordi of "Euphoria" stars as Felix Catton.
Keoghan rose to fame as an indie darling after starring in the Yorgos Lanthimos film "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" before breaking out into the mainstream with his role in the Marvel film "The Eternals" as the mind-controlling Druig. "Saltburn" marks his first leading role. Elordi first got noticed starring as the romantic lead in Netflix romcom "The Kissing Booth," but it was his role as dominating high schooler Nate Jacobs in "Euphoria" that cemented his status as a prominent rising star.
Alison Oliver ("Conversations With Friends") and Archie Madekwe ("Gran Turismo") star as Felix's sister Venetia and cousin Farleigh, respectively.
The film also stars some British acting icons such as Rosamund Pike ("Gone Girl," "Pride & Prejudice") and Richard E. Grant ("Withnail and I"). Carey Mulligan, who starred as the lead in Fennell's previous film, "Promising Young Woman," appears as Felix's aunt.
"Saltburn" Director
Fennell directed, wrote, and produced "Saltburn," a follow-up to her neon-lit 2020 drama "Promising Young Woman." The earlier film won an Oscar for best original screenplay, with further nominations for best picture, best director, best editing, and best actress for Mulligan.
While "Saltburn" is Fennell's first directorial outing since then, she has written for "Killing Eve" and wrote the book for Andrew Lloyd Webber's stage reimagining of "Cinderella." As an actress, she has starred as Camilla in "The Crown" (for which she earned an Emmy nomination) and had a cameo in "Barbie" as Midge, Barbie's pregnant friend.
"Saltburn" Release Date
"Saltburn" will premiere in the UK as part of the BFI London Film Festival in October. It will hit theaters on Nov. 24, 2023, before it eventually hits Amazon Prime Video.
Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" biopic served as a launchpad for Austin Butler's newfound A-list-actor status, which is why more fans than ever are wondering who the future Dune villain is dating and who he's dated in the past.
Most people are familiar with Butler's nearly 10-year-long relationship with Vanessa Hudgens, which ended suddenly in 2020. Still, Butler had a few low-key relationships with other actors before he linked up with his current girlfriend, supermodel Kaia Gerber. For example, Butler and Olivia DeJonge (who played his onscreen wife, Priscilla, in "Elvis") reportedly dated throughout filming (no wonder their onscreen chemistry was off the charts).
Butler will next be seen taking his turn as a (very bald) villain in "Dune: Part 2," set to hit theaters on Nov. 3. In the meantime, read up on Butler's star-studded dating history ahead.
Glen Powell has grown a large fan base since appearing in 2022's "Top Gun: Maverick," the critically acclaimed sequel to 1986 film "Top Gun." In the film, Powell plays the charismatic, confident Jake "Hangman" Seresin, who often clashes with Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw (Miles Teller) and Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise). Powell's characterization of Hangman has left many fans wondering if the actor has used that same charm to land any romantic relationships in real life (when he's not using it to land roles in highly-anticipated rom-coms starring Sydney Sweeney, that is).
Despite being certifiably handsome, Powell has only publicly dated three ladies since gaining the spotlight - though his most recent relationship with Gigi Paris reportedly came to an end in early April amid already-debunked rumors that he and his "Anyone But You" costar Sweeney's relationship had turned romantic (but more on that later).
If you find yourself feeling slightly obsessed with Powell's love life, then read ahead for everyone the star has dated over the years.
Gwyneth Paltrow may be known for her work as an actor and the founder of Goop, but at the end of the day, she's just "Mom" to her kids. Prior to her relationship with Brad Falchuk, whom Paltrow wed in 2018, the actor was married to Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin. During their 11 years of marriage, Paltrow and Martin welcomed two children together. After publicly ending their relationship, Paltrow and Martin vowed to be the best coparents possible, and from the looks of it, they've done just that.
"It's so interesting because in a way my divorce and my relationship with Chris now is better than our marriage was. So I do think that it can be done," Paltrow told Drew Barrymore during an interview in 2020. "We're all part good and part bad. It's not binary. We're all gray area. We're all trying our best. And I really wanted my kids to not be traumatized if it were possible. Chris and I committed to putting them first, and that's harder than it looks 'cause some days you really don't want to be with the person you're getting divorced from. But if you're committed to having family dinner then you do it. And you take a deep breath, and you look the person in the eye, and you remember your pact and you smile, and you hug and you make a joke and you just re-commit to this new relationship that you are trying to foster."
Paltrow has also been open about how she's enjoyed every chapter of motherhood thus far. "As a mother, I've really cherished every chapter of their lives," she told People in October 2022. "It's funny, I always thought, when they were born I was like, 'It's never going to be better than this,' but then they were 2, and then 5, and every stage I've been like, 'This is better than the last.' And I feel that way now."
Paltrow and Martin don't shy away from showing off their happy family celebrations and how far they've come since separating. They often post about each other on social media, and their children are front and center of their lives. To find more about Paltrow and Martin's kids, scroll through this gallery.
During her "Carpool Karaoke" session with James Corden back in August 2016, the singer said, "I think I might not ever go to men again, do the whole men thing anymore, or get married. I'm just done with men . . . I'm not going to marry someone. No, I don't believe in marriage anymore."
Well, it seems Spears had a change of heart, because she then moved on with Sam Asghari, whom she married in June 2022. Their marriage only lasted a year, however, since Asghari filed for divorce from the pop star in August 2023. Not much else is known about their separation, but perhaps Spears will shed some light in her new memoir "The Woman in Me," out Oct. 24.
In the meantime, keep reading for a look at Spears's former flames.
Exciting news for "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" fans: the original cast are reuniting for a new anime series heading to Netflix! The streamer made the announcement on March 30, confirming that all the stars from the 2010 cult-classic film - including Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Alison Pill, Kieran Culkin, Satya Bhabha, Chris Evans, Anna Kendrick, and Aubrey Plaza - will reprise their roles in the upcoming show's voice cast.
Per the latest trailer, which dropped on Oct. 14, the anime series takes on the same plot as the original movie: "Scott Pilgrim meets the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers, but learns he must defeat her seven evil exes in order to date her." And, of course, "things get even more complicated."
Bryan Lee O'Malley, the author and artist of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series, and BenDavid Grabinski serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers for the new series, titled "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off." Edgar Wright, who directed, cowrote, and produced "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," is also on board as an executive producer.
"We're getting the band back together! Cera and Winstead, Bhabha, Culkin, Evans, Kendrick, Larson, Pill, Plaza, [Brandon] Routh, [Jason] Schwartzman, [Johnny] Simmons, [Mark] Webber, [Mae] Whitman and [Ellen] Wong. A stellar cast, perfectly assembled by Edgar Wright. And, with Science SARU leading the phenomenal animation, we couldn't ask for a better team for this adventure," O'Malley and Grabinski said in a press statement. "We can't wait for fans and newcomers alike to see what we and our partners at Science SARU have been cooking up. It's going to be a wild ride."
"Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" exploded in popularity following its theatrical debut in 2010. Though the film - which followed the pursuits of Cera's Scott Pilgrim and his literal fight to win the affection of Winstead's dreamy delivery girl, Ramona - bombed by box office standards, it's since become an all-time fan favorite for its witty comic book movie stars and bombastic visuals. And now, the anime adaptation aims to re-create that same magic by bringing back Scott (Cera), Ramona Flowers (Winstead), and all seven of the latter's evil exes.
According to Wright, the "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" cast and crew have done "Q&As, remembrances, and charity read-throughs" over the years. However, the opportunity to reunite all the original stars hasn't come about until now. "Original creator Bryan Lee O'Malley, along with writer BenDavid Grabinski have conjured up an anime series of Scott Pilgrim that doesn't just expand the universe, but also . . . well, just watch it," Wright added in a statement. "I'm more than happy to announce that I have helped coax the entire original cast back to voice their characters on this epic new adventure. You are in for a treat."
Read ahead for everything else we know about the animated "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" series, from the trailers to the release date.
The cast for the forthcoming anime series will see the original "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" stars reprise their roles - including Cera as the titular character, Winstead as Ramona Flowers, Bhabha as Matthew Patel, Culkin as Wallace Wells, Evans as Lucas Lee, Kendrick as Stacey Pilgrim, Larson as Envy Adams, Pill as Kim Pine, and Plaza as Julie Powers. Others also returning include Routh as Todd Ingram, Schwartzman as Gideon Graves, Simmons as Young Neil, Webber as Stephen Stills, Whitman as Roxie, and Wong as Knives Chau.
