New ‘Dune’ Trailer Sets the Stage For Full-Fledged Interplanetary War
Warner Bros. has unveiled a new trailer for Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Timothée Chalamet as Paul, heir to House Atreides. The new trailer opens as Chani (Zendaya) eerily describes the current climate of her desert planet Arrakis over stunning visuals of the secluded landscape, revealing that its inhabitants have fought against the empire over ownership of a valuable natural resource known as Spice, which is necessary for interstellar travel. Amid heated conflict, House Atreides, spearheaded by Leto (Oscar Isaac), takes control over the coveted planet and engages in all-out battle to protect its capital. The Legendary Pictures movie marks the latest feature film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel, following David Lynch’s take in 1984. On a larger scale, the p...

Lorde Performs “Stoned at the Nail Salon” Live for First Time on Seth Meyers: Watch
After sobering up from an afternoon of day drinking, Lorde returned to Rockefeller Center on Wednesday night to film the rest of her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Most notably, the New Zealand singer performed her new single, “Stoned at the Nail Salon,” live for the first time. Whereas her previous television performance of “Solar Power” came live from the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater, Lorde opted for a much more low-key affair for the debut of “Stoned at the Nail Salon.” She sang the tender rumination about aging and domestication while sitting in a garden of shrubbery, accompanied by a stripped-down acoustic ensemble led by producer Jack Antonoff. Watch the replay below. Lorde also sat down with Seth Meyers to discuss how her trip to Antarctica in 2019 inspired her upcomi...

Konami Is Replacing ‘PES’ With Free-to-Play ‘eFootball’
Konami has officially brought an end to its PES brand. Originally launched back in 1995, PES (or Winning Eleven as it’s known in Japan) was Konami’s take on a football game, mainly competing against EA‘s FIFA franchise over the years. Last year, Konami began the game’s transition into eFootball PES 2020, but has now finally decided to take the plunge and kill off its PES branding for good, instead simply naming the new free-to-play game eFootball. “Our ambition was to re-create the perfect soccer environment, from the grass on the field, to the players’ movement, all the way to the crowds in the stadium,” reads the new game’s official website. “To this end, we decided to create a new soccer engine with a newly built animation system and revamped game commands. The final resu...

On Renegades: Born In the U.S.A., an eight-episode podcast, Obama and Springsteen reunited for intimate chats on race, fatherhood, marriage and the state of America. “There were serious conversations about the fate of the country, the fortune of its citizens, and the destructive, ugly, corrupt forces at play that would like to take it all down,” writes Springsteen in his introduction for the forthcoming book. “This is a time of vigilance when who we are is being seriously tested.
