    Just last week, we got new images from ‘Stranger Things’ super-sized Season 4 finale, which comprises two episodes known as ‘Volume 2’.

    Now here comes the trailer for the episodes, promising a lot of explosive action, fresh threats, and ominous warnings that our heroes are in over their heads even more than ever.

    Picking up a year or so after the explosive end of Season 3, the first volume’s episodes found Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) and his family living in Southern California, having made the smart choice to move away from Hawkins, Indiana. While Eleven is having trouble fitting into a new school, she’s soon informed by Sam Owens (Paul Reiser) that her particular set of mysterious skills are needed back in Hawkins.

    There’s just one small problem with that plan: she doesn’t have them anymore. Yet back in Hawkins, things continue to be, well, strange. Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) are facing their own challenges, moving on up to Hawkins high school and all the potential bullying, hormonal issues and fashion challenges that presents.

    But possibly having an even harder time is Sadie Sink’s Max Mayfield, who is still grieving the death of brother Billy (Dacre Montgomery), who sacrificed himself in the big battle.

    They’ll need real help, as something even more terrifying is on the way and a giant conflict is bubbling away, with some of it tied to the creepy new location of the Creel House. Then there’s poor old Jim Hopper (David Harbour), locked away in a prison in Kamchatka, Russia. At least he’s alive, but for how long?

    The end of Season 4’s first volume saw Mike’s sister Nancy (Natalia Dyer) trapped in the Upside Down by new big bad Vecna and friend Steve (Joe Keery) in a bad way after being attacked by bat creatures.

    With threatening voice-over from Vecna (who, spoiler alert, we learned is the son of the ill-fated Creel family, born with special abilities and eventually sent to the same facility that housed Eleven.) He went on to become a member of the staff (played in adult form by Jamie Campbell Bower) but has since embraced his inner darkness and is now hunting Hawkins townsfolk, killing them, and dragging them to the Upside Down.

    And now he and Matthew Modine’s Dr. Brenner are all about telling Eleven that even with her powers restored, she might not be enough to stop him.

    Is this the end for the Hawkins heroes? Well, we doubt it, given that Season 5 is in the works and planned to actually wrap up the series, but there’s every indication that not everyone will make it out of the season alive. Protect Steve’s hair at all costs!

    Promising to be the biggest episodes yet – the two finale entries have a combined running time of nearly four hours – ‘Stranger Things 4’ Volume 2 lands on Netflix on July 1st.

  • New Images Tease ‘Stranger Things’ 4 Volume 2

    If, by now you’ve finished watching the approximately 576 hours of ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4 Volume 1 (okay, more like nearly nine hours), two things are probably true: you have Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” stuck in your head and you’re eagerly anticipating the next Volume.

    Netflix is throwing us all a tiny tease of what we can expect via some new pictures from Volume 2 which, let’s not forget, comprises two episodes running nearly four hours when watched together.

    Picking up a year or so after the explosive end of Season 3, the first volume’s episodes find Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) and his family living in Southern California, having made the smart choice to move away from Hawkins, Indiana. While Eleven is having trouble fitting into a new school, she’s soon informed by Sam Owens (Paul Reiser) that her particular set of mysterious skills are needed back in Hawkins.

    There’s just one small problem with that plan: she doesn’t have them anymore. Yet back in Hawkins, things continue to be, well, strange. Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) are facing their own challenges, moving on up to Hawkins high school and all the potential bullying, hormonal issues and fashion challenges that presents.

    But possibly having an even harder time is Sadie Sink’s Max Mayfield, who is still grieving the death of brother Billy (Dacre Montgomery), who sacrificed himself in the big battle.

    They’ll need real help, as something even more terrifying is on the way and a giant conflict is bubbling away, with some of it tied to the creepy new location of the Creel House. Then there’s poor old Jim Hopper (David Harbour), locked away in a prison in Kamchatka, Russia. At least he’s alive, but for how long?

    The end of Season 4’s first volume saw Mike’s sister Nancy (Natalia Dyer) trapped in the Upside Down by new big bad Vecna and friend Steve (Joe Keery) in a bad way after being attacked by bat creatures.

    These new pictures could be considered a spoiler – unless the shot of Nancy with the gang is a flashback – but show the various storylines we’ve been following, including Mike and friends’ attempt to find Eleven, her digging into her tragic lab past alongside Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine), Hopper and Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) trying to get out of Russia alive and the characters in Hawkins making plans to take on Vecna (who, it is revealed, also has ties to Eleven’s past).

    “The final episode has more FX shots than the entirety of Season 3,” co-creator Matt Duffer told Empire magazine after the first Volume dropped.

    “There’s an hour-long chunk in the final episode that just doesn’t stop,” adds his brother and fellow show boss Ross. “It’s the most complicated thing we’ve ever attempted to do. It’s all tension and dread, with a run-time that would be long even for a movie. Then – well, everything goes to hell…”

    Yeah, because life is always so peachy keen and easy for the Hawkins crew! ‘Stranger Things 4’ Volume 2 lands on Netflix on July 1st.

  • New ‘Stranger Things 4’ Trailer Promises War is Coming

    Just when the residents of Hawkins, Indiana (population: dwindling fast) thought that they’d finally put supernatural threats behind them following the traumatic events of the Battle of Starcourt, the new trailer for ‘Stranger Things’ fourth season suggests that their troubles are far from over. War is coming… and no-one is safe.

    And that includes those such as Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) and his family, who moved away to Southern California at the end of the last season. While Eleven is having trouble fitting into a new school, she’s soon informed by Sam Owens (Paul Reiser) that her particular set of mysterious skills are needed back in Hawkins.

    There’s just one small problem with that plan: she doesn’t have them anymore.

    Yet back in Hawkins, things continue to be, well, strange. Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) are facing their own challenges, moving on up to Hawkins high school and all the potential bullying, hormonal issues and fashion challenges that presents.

    But possibly having an even harder time is Sadie Sink’s Max Mayfield, who is still grieving the death of brother Billy (Dacre Montgomery), who sacrificed himself in the big battle. Not only is Max struggling with loss, but she also appears to have develop some interesting new abilities of her own, if the shot of her floating above the others is anything to go by.

    Whether it’s her or someone else achieving that, they’ll need the help, as something even more terrifying is on the way and a giant conflict is bubbling away, with some of it tied to the creepy new location of the Creel House.

    Then there’s poor old Jim Hopper (David Harbour), locked away in a prison in Kamchatka, Russia, where life seems to be just as rough – what we must wonder now is how he gets free? We’ll get that answer, plus some flashbacks to fill in other story gaps in a season that promises to wrap the plot up.

    For those who might not have seen the announcement a couple of months ago, the new season is so epic and huge that the creators (and Netflix) have opted to split it in two.

    “With nine scripts, over eight-hundred pages, almost two years of filming, thousands of visual effects shots, and a runtime nearly twice the length of any previous season, ‘Stranger Things 4’ was the most challenging season yet, but also the most rewarding one,” wrote the Duffer brothers. “Everyone involved is incredibly proud of the results, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Given the unprecedented length, and to get it to you as soon as possible, Season 4 will be released in two volumes.”

    Expect the first batch of episodes on May 27th, with the second haul following on July 1st. Bad news for those who were looking forward to their latest ‘Things’ binge, but good news in that the season will be able to contain more of the sprawling story.

  • ‘Stranger Things’ Star Millie Bobby Brown Shut Down Final Season Speculation

    Attention, “Stranger Things” fans: There seems to have been a false alarm.

    After Season 3 production wrapped last week, some of the stars’ social media posts had fans worried that the show might be ending. Since then, though, Millie Bobby Brown has set the record straight. The actress appeared on “The Late Show” to discuss her new role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, and she indicated to host Stephen Colbert the concern was for nothing.

    “No!” she told Colbert when he asked if her teary photo was because the show is ending. “I’m just a very emotional person.”

    Brown explained that she was sad to say goodbye to close friend and co-star Sadie Sink as well as the catering team. To calm down worried fans, she added it was the “last day of the season, not the show.”

    Watch below.

    Well, that’s good to hear. We can all relax now.

    “Stranger Things” Season 3 is due out next summer, and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

  • ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Reveals Full Cast and Synopsis as Production Begins

    ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Reveals Full Cast and Synopsis as Production Begins

    Warner Bros.

    The latest installment in Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment’s Monsterverse series, “Godzilla vs. Kong,” has officially started production, and has also revealed its full cast list and film synopsis.

    The flick, which will unite the two titular beasts for an epic showdown, has actually been in the works for several years, and is set to be a follow-up to last year’s “Kong: Skull Island” and next year’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters.” Two stars of that latter film, Millie Bobby Brown and Kyle Chandler, are the only returning actors from either movie who will be appearing in “Godzilla vs. Kong.” (Is that considered a bit of a “King of Monsters” spoiler?)

    The rest of the “Godzilla vs. Kong” ensemble includes Alexander Skarsgard (who’s reportedly playing the head of a military unit), Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri (“Gintama”), Eiza González (“Baby Driver”), Jessica Henwick (“Iron Fist”), Julian Dennison (“Deadpool 2”), and Demián Bichir.

    Here’s the official synopsis for the flick:

    In a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity’s fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans’ origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.

    “Godzilla vs. Kong,” directed by Adam Wingard (“You’re Next,” “Death Notice”), is due in theaters on May 22, 2020.

    Here Are the First ‘Stranger Things’ Day Messages From the Show’s Stars

    Stranger Things

    The first “Stranger Things” Day has arrived!

    The Netflix series claimed Nov. 6 as its official day, and the cast definitely got the memo. The show’s stars made sure to wish fans a happy Stranger Things Day in multiple ways. Not only did they make a video, they also posted messages on social media.

    Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson) and Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven/Jane Hopper) all made sure to post the video with a caption wishing everyone a happy Stranger Things Day. Brown also added that she can’t wait for fans to see Season 3.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp1_u8nF10z/

    Then there were a couple slightly different celebrations from the cast. McLaughlin also tweeted cryptically about the holiday, writing, “Stranger Things Day?” and adding the face with monocle emoji. We’re not sure exactly what he wanted to convey there, but we still like it.

    Meanwhile, Matarazzo gave fans what they always want in a tweet: more of Dustin and Steve Harrington (Joe Keery).

    It’s a happy Stranger Things days indeed. Enjoy celebrating, but don’t forget that it’s Election Day, too!

    Millie Bobby Brown‘s “Stranger Things” character, Eleven, has inspired some awesome Halloween costumes since the show premiered in 2016 — and not even her co-stars have been able to resist donning her signature pink dress and blonde wing.

    This year, Noah Schnapp did Halloween right. While hanging out with the rest of the cast in costume, he dressed up as the Season 1 version of Eleven. It was a choice fans loved, as you can see from their reactions on Twitter.

    “Stranger Things” stans weren’t the only ones who applauded Schnapp’s Halloween look. Brown herself gave it her approval by posting a photo of him on her Instagram Stories. “ILY,” she wrote over it, per Teen Vogue, meaning, “I love you.”

    Brown also shared the Halloween photos that made fans so happy in the first place. In them, she and Schnapp are joined by their co-stars Gaten Matarazzo, Sadie Sink, and Caleb McLaughlin. The five young actors all went all out with their costumes, with Brown, Sink, and Matarazzo going with a Star Wars universe theme, while McLaughlin described himself as a Rasta.

    We might not have gotten a new season of “Stranger Things” this Halloween, but at their celebration makes up for it. Well, a little.

    Netflix

    Like so many others who read or watched “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,” Millie Bobby Brown is looking for her own Peter Kavinsky.

    Netflix just released the teen rom-com to huge response, including from the “Stranger Things” star and her friend. They gushed over main character Lara Jean (played by Lana Condor) and main love interest Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo).

    Since Netflix just changed its Twitter bio to “this is now a Peter Kavinsky stan account,” they were all over MBB’s new Instagram Story praising the film:

    Here’s a rough transcript of Millie Bobby Brown’s Instagram Story conversation with her friend:

    “She can’t think straight because she’s thinking about Peter Kavinsky.”

    Millie: “So, Peter Kavinsky, if you’re out there, please hit me up.”

    “Cause we love you. Cheers to that, sir.”

    “Quick shout-out to Lara Jean. We — I love you.”

    “I love you! You’re the most beautiful.”

    “Relatable character.”

    “Yeah, so relatable!”

    “The awkwardness. The cuteness.”

    “Yes, that’s me! That’s me! That’s me!”

    “This movie? Gold. Ten out of 10.”

    “Ten out of 10.”

    They would probably appreciate this post right about now:

    They said they were going to go straight into watching another romance movie.

    Millie: “To make sure we understand how lonely we both are.”

    MBB is only 14, but she’s apparently feeling lonely after her breakup with Jacob Sartorius. At least she has her friends, her “Stranger Things” Netflix family, and her Jopper dreams.

  • Millie Bobby Brown Is ‘Shipping Jopper’ for ‘Stranger Things’ Season 3

    Millie Bobby Brown Is ‘Shipping Jopper’ for ‘Stranger Things’ Season 3

    Stranger Things, Hopper, Joyce
    Netflix

    “Stranger Things” Season 3 is meant to be set in “The Summer of Love” — at least according to Finn Wolfhard.

    Millie Bobby Brown‘s Eleven ended Season 2 in a romance with Wolfhard’s Mike Wheeler. But now MBB is focused on another couple getting together: Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) and Chief Hopper (David Harbour).

    Aka Jopper.

    David Harbour recently talked to Variety about how much he’d like to see Joyce and Hopper get together. Variety asked Millie Bobby Brown about it, and she said she is totally “shipping Jopper.” She was dying to say more. But she isn’t allowed to:

    “I can’t say anything about this. This is so bad. Listen, I would love for them to get together. Jopper is like my inspiration in life. Winona Ryder and David Harbor are like my parents. On set, they’re like, ‘Stop running, what are you eating, why are you eating that?’ David is like, ‘Another boy?’ And in the show, if they rekindle, that means Will and Eleven will be step-siblings. I would love that because Noah [Schnapp] is my boy best friend.”

    Jopper is our inspiration, too. Here’s more of what David Harbour had teased to Variety about Hopper and Joyce:

    “I think it’d be interesting to see if Hopper has it in him to be vulnerable with a woman and to actually be able to show up in that capacity, like what kind of a man he would be in a relationship if that comes to fruition. […] There may be other people in the mix in this situation, but I think they’re built for each other and I would love to see them get together. From the very beginning, I thought that these are two tortured, messed up, beautiful people who are like puzzle pieces that can’t stand each other but actually need each other.”

    So sweet. Harbour had a lot more to say to Variety, including the tease that “Fletch” is one of the movies they used as inspiration this year, for the 1985-set season.

    Netflix

    Harbour also revealed that the father/daughter bond between Hopper and Eleven is going to be tested by puberty:

    “Their relationship is going to get far more complex, because, you know, things happen to girls and boys when they’re 13 and 14. A lot of changes go on in the body and in your social life, and I don’t think he’s going to handle watching her become a woman in front of his eyes very well. That’s a horrifying thing for him — maybe even more so than fighting inter-dimensional monsters.”

    “Stranger Things” Season 3 is now taping for a premiere next summer 2019 on Netflix.
