Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' First Trailer Is Full of Horse Rides and Space Romanticism - Gizmodo

Oh, those worlds do look pretty strange.

Ever since it was announced, we knew Star Trek: Strange New Worlds would not only bring us back to Discovery’s take on the pre-Captain Kirk Enterprise crew, but push contemporary Star Trek back to a more adventurous, episodic style of storytelling. Now, we have a glimpse at just how—and also how it plans to bring back a seemingly disillusioned Captain Pike in the process.

Paramount+ has dropped the first official trailer for Strange New Worlds, opening on what looks like a rather down-in-the-dumps Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike—not on the bridge of the Enterprise where we last saw him, but in the snowy Mojave, tending to his horses and in general being rather glum. Considering Strange New Worlds is set after the events of Discovery’s second season—which saw, from Pike’s perspective, Michael Burnham and the crew of the Discovery seemingly sacrifice their livelihoods to be flung into the 31st century, to save the galaxy from the sinister AI Control—it’s hard not to imagine why Pike is glum, consider he got a shocking view of his own future along the way to Discovery’s sacrifice.

But what will coax Pike back to boldly going? It looks like exactly what you’d expect to draw any bright-eyed Starfleet officer: promises of adventure, the magic of exploration, and lots of gorgeous shots of wild alien worlds and strange spatial anomalies. Narration from Rebecca Romijn’s Number One—now given the name Una Chin-Riley—leans into the fantastical joy of space exploration, that “our first visit from the stars is always the province of children’s stories and science fiction, until one day it isn’t,” as we’re treated to glimpses of those strange new worlds they keep talking about, alongside Starfleet away teams, the Enterprise herself, and ultimately a shaved, snazzily-uniformed Pike ready to do some exploring. It does all look pretty enough that it’s worth taking a break from horse riding through blizzards, at least.

Strange New Worlds—which also stars Ethan Peck as Mr. Spock, Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura, Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel, and Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M’Benga, as well as Bruce Horak, Christina Chong, and Melissa Navia as brand-new Trek characters Hemmer, the intriguingly named La’an Noonien-Singh, and Lieutenant Erica Ortegas, respectively—is set to begin streaming on Paramount+ May 5.

Elizabeth Hurley says it was a ‘nightmare’ working with Matthew Perry amid actor's addiction - Fox News

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her
