BRIAN VINER: I hear a lot about the complaint that "nothing worth going to the theater for" is something I hear a lot, and it's often impossible to refute, but it has no water at all this week, as we welcome two of the Academy Award contenders. I don't think either of them will be contaminated with the Oscar, which, according to sports analysts, would be Oppenheimer's to lose. Both of them will be worthy winners, especially The Zone Of Interest, a disturbing movie about the Holocaust. Unique, since the mass extermination of Jews, Hitler's abhorrent 'Final Solution,' is shown as a glowering yet mostly distant backdrop, while an ostensibly positive story of family life unfolds in the foreground. The film, shot in 1943, focuses on Rudolf Hoss (Christian Friedel), his materialistic wife Hedwig (Sandra Huller), and their five children. They live in a great deal of confidence, just over the wall from the concentration camp where he works with icy efficiency.

David Higgins, a London-based personal trainer, has been working with Margot Robbie since about 2015, when she first trained for her role in "The Legend of Tarzan." That movement, which is characterized as tousled, gritty, raw, is just about the antithesis of her of-the-moment starring role in "Barbie." Nonetheless, Robbie went back to Higgins, this time asking him not only to instruct her but also the entire cast — both the Barbies and the Kens — to prepare for Barbie's flawless, manicured role. (She has the rec, in case you were curious), Samuel L. robbed the library. (Jackson)

'I've never been to a place like this.'

White villains have increasingly dominated the screen, including Tom Hiddleston in Thor and Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.

When Nicola Peltz Beckham auditioned for the role of Dorothy Stratten in "Welcome to Chippendales" she wanted the role terribly. Peltz Beckham tells POPSUGAR that she wanted to sound like her, look like her, and move like her at the audition. "I did every bit of study I could find, whether it be physical or just the way she spoke, the way she talked, the way she looked, and most of everything else," she says about her appearances. Peltz Beckham's link to the Playboy bunny and actor goes back a long time. Dorothy's life was "I knew about it years ago," she says. "I watched the film 'Star 80' and it stuck with me, and it's just one of those films and stories that have always lived in my head." The 1983 film "Star 80" told the tale of Stratten's life and death; the title derives from Stratten's vanity licence plates.

There's a lot of mystery surrounding Marvel's forthcoming film Eternals. When the Chloé Zhao-directed origin story debuts in theaters on Friday (November 5), it will be described as “a huge, cosmic, and wild movie set on Earth for over 7,000 years by producer Nate Moore. The 10-member team, which was created by comic book artist Jack Kirby in 1976, is a slew of ancient human beings from the planet Olympia who are charged with keeping an eye on humankind and shielding them from a horde of parasitic aliens called Deviants. The monstrous creatures are effectively held at bay for millennia until a new strain emerges, forcing the present-day team to band together to save civilization. With a strong cast of actors including Gemma Chan, Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, Richard Madden, and Salma Hayek, Zhao felt that each Eternal retains a unique identity. Although they are fighting for a common cause, the characters all have their own opinions, convictions, complicated marriages, tactics of combat, and limitations. "They are incredibly useful, but there are some things they can't do," Moore explained. "Parts of this film are investigating what the edges of that are and how they come up with inventive ways to increase the capacity, sometimes to do the impossible." MTV News traveled to Eternals in January 2020 to find out all about Zhao's casting process and that it is a "epic romance."

Harry Styles is currently on tour, packing arenas such as Madison Square Garden and Chicago's United Center with distinctive panache, flair, and colorful clothing. However, this morning (October 19), he's making news for his (allegedly) work on the big screen, not the stage. Chloé Zhao's long-anticipated new Marvel film Eternals premiered in Los Angeles on Monday night, and with that came a new and spoilerful scoop from critics: Styles' brother Eros, Thanos' brother, "a fun-loving, carefree womanizer," as the Marvel fandom article explains him. Seems right!
