  • First ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ Clip Ends Badly for Millie Bobby Brown

    First ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ Clip Ends Badly for Millie Bobby Brown

    Poor Eleven can’t catch a break.

    “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” is expected to share its first trailer this Saturday during the Warner Bros. Comic-Con panel, but for now we have a teaser and some stuff to play with.

    The first photos from the “Godzilla” sequel came out the other day, showing Godzilla’s new atomic breath (!) but also scientist and Monarch employee Dr. Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga) with her daughter Madison (Millie Bobby Brown).

    The first clip shows MBB’s Madison trying to contact someone from Monarch, and not enjoying the response:

    However, it looks like the message went through:

    Gadgets! Here’s the movie synopsis:

    “The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.”

    We’ve already been told that MBB’s Madison and Vera Farmiga’s Dr. Emma Russell are kidnapped in the film by “a mysterious organization, with their own plans for the creatures.” Kyle Chandler plays Mark Russell, ex-husband of Emma and father to Madison. He goes on a rescue mission with Monarch scientists Ken Watanabe and Sally Hawkins, returning from “Godzilla.”

    “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” opens in theaters on May 31, 2019.

  • ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ First Photos Reveal ‘Atomic Breath’ and Millie Bobby Brown

    ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ First Photos Reveal ‘Atomic Breath’ and Millie Bobby Brown

    Millie Bobby Brown does not herself have “atomic breath” in “Godzilla: King of the Monsters.” That would be cool — and maybe Eleven could try it in “Stranger Things 3” — but it also might be embarrassing for a teenager.

    Instead it’s Godzilla who has the ability to exhale atomic breath and uses it as “a sort of call to arms” in “a very key moment” in “Godzilla: King of the Monsters.”

    Entertainment Weekly shared first look photos and details on the sequel to 2014’s “Godzilla.”

    We see Godzilla and his atomic breath, plus scientist and Monarch employee Dr. Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga) with her daughter Madison (Millie Bobby Brown).

    The women are kidnapped by “a mysterious organization, with their own plans for the creatures.”

    That’s according to director Michael Dougherty, who also updated that five years have passed in this movie from the events of “Godzilla.” The world has reacted as you might expect, in that they’re “overreacting” and getting paranoid about any other big beasts out there. There will be more in “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” including giant insect Mothra, flying Rodan, and three-headed King Ghidorah.

    On the human front, Kyle Chandler was cast as Mark Russell, ex-husband of Dr. Emma Russell and father to Madison. He goes on a rescue mission with Monarch scientists Ken Watanabe and Sally Hawkins, returning from “Godzilla.”

    Dougherty said there are “definitely some breadcrumbs” in this film to tease the next “MonsterVerse” movie, “Godzilla vs. Kong,” scheduled for 2020. That movie may add the great Danai Gurira (“The Walking Dead,” “Black Panther”) since she’s said to be in early talks.

    Here’s the snyopsis for “King of the Monsters”:

    “The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.”

    The first trailer is expected to drop next Saturday, July 21 at San Diego Comic-Con. “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” opens in theaters on May 31, 2019.

  • ‘Stranger Things’ Season 3 Set Photos Show Eleven’s New Look

    ‘Stranger Things’ Season 3 Set Photos Show Eleven’s New Look

    You can always mark time passing on “Stranger Things” by the changing hair.

    Another year has gone by for the folks of Hawkins, Indiana in “Stranger Things” Season 3, and it looks like Eleven/El/Jane (Millie Bobby Brown) has grown out her hair.  We last saw her with the hair shown above from the Season 2 finale dance.

    It’s now 1985 and you could say she’s looking a little retro in the photos shared by JustJared. They’re from filming Monday, July 9 on the Atlanta, Georgia set.

    The photos also show that actress Millie Bobby Brown is still not quite healed from her knee injury, because there’s a stunt double in her place.

    You can see actress Sadie Sink (Max) on a bike in the rain (below, right), and if Eleven’s stunt double is in the scene too (below, left) can we expect some El/Max bonding in Season 3?

    Matt Duffer did tease a different El/Max dynamic in a chat last year with Hello Giggles:

     

    “We are excited to maybe see some more of those two together, moving forward. […] I think the idea of their relationship evolving in some ways, definitely. Something we’re interested in. […] They won’t be enemies. They won’t be enemies forever. We’re excited [to] spend more time with Max and develop her in a way…we’re sort of scratching the surface on this season of what I think she’s capable of.”

    A few months ago, MBB said “Stranger Things” has “a beautiful storyline for Eleven this season. It’s really a coming of age for her and understanding what being a normal teenage girl is.”

    “Stranger Things” Season 3 will have eight episodes and it’s expected on Netflix in 2019. Here are more Millie and Sadie set photos.

  • Millie Bobby Brown Must Skip the MTV Movie & TV Awards. Here’s Why

    Ouch!

    Poor Millie Bobby Brown.

    The 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards airs tonight (Monday, June 18), but it was taped over the weekend. “Stranger Things” topped the TV nominations, but Eleven/Jane was not there to cheer the Netflix show on with her cast-mates.

    Instead, the 14-year-old actress posted a video to fans to let them know she somehow split her kneecap (!) and would have to just be there in spirit:

    “Hi, guys! So, um, another milestone in my life. I’ve never actually broken a bone, until now. I have split my kneecap. So I — from the doctor’s orders — he told me to rest up and that means I won’t be attending the MTV Awards this weekend.

    But I hope Gaten, Caleb, Finn, Sadie, and Noah have the best time. I love them so dearly. I wish you guys the best. I’m sending my luck with you. And I’ll be there in spirit.”

    A post shared by MBB (@milliebobbybrown) on

    Did she hurt herself in a stunt taping “Stranger Things” Season 3 or what? Hopefully she heals fast.

    MTV caught up with Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, and Sadie Sink on the red carpet. They refused to say anything about “Stranger Things” Season 3, which is now taping, beyond confirming that it’s set in 1985: The 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards air Monday, June 18 at 9/8c on MTV. “Stranger Things” Season 3 has no set premiere date at this point on Netflix.

  • ‘Stranger Things’ Season 3 Has More ‘Dad Steve Magic’ & Relationship ‘Instability’

    “Stranger Things” Season 3 is gearing up to start production in April, for an unknown premiere date on Netflix. The cast and producers talked a bit more about what’s ahead Sunday during a PaleyFest panel.

    As previously reported, Season 3 is jumping ahead about a year, with EP Shawn Levy saying Season 3 would be set during the summer of 1985. So that’s why “Back to the Future,” which came out that year, will be a point of reference, the way “Ghostbusters” was a timeline benchmark for Halloween in Season 2.

    Levy gave status updates on the relationships that formed in Season 2, between Eleven/Jane (Millie Bobby Brown) and Mike (Finn Wolfhard), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and Max (Sadie Sink):

    “Mike and Eleven and are going strong, so that’s a relationship that continues, and same with Mad Max and Lucas. But again, they’re like 13- or 14-year-old kids, so what does romance mean at that stage of life? It can never be simple and stable relationships and there’s fun to that instability.”

    According to THR, the cast members hadn’t seen any scripts at this point, so Millie Bobby Brown learned of her character’s relationship status right there during PaleyFest.

    Levy didn’t seem to give an update on the romance between Nancy (Natalie Dyer) and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), who are a bit older, but he did assure fans that “Dad Steve” (or, as we prefer, “Single Mom Steve”) would continue:

    “We’ll definitely get to see some more of Steve Harrington in Season 3, and I’ll just say we won’t be abandoning the Dad Steve magic. I don’t want to say much more, but I literally feel that we were walking along and we stumbled onto a gold mine with Dad Steve.”

    The Paley Center For Media's 35th Annual PaleyFest Los Angeles - 'Stranger Things' - InsideLevy’s love for Steve runs deep, as it should. Here’s what he told TVLine of Joe Keery’s character:

    “Honestly, the day Steve Harrington dies is the day I walk off this show. I just can’t live in a world without Steve Harrington. And I think a lot of us feel that way.”

    Check out more mini updates from the cast and execs from Variety’s red carpet interviews:

    TVLine previously reported that Season 3 will have eight episodes, one fewer than Season 2, with production slated to begin mid-April.

    It was also recently revealed that Maya Thurman-Hawke — daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke — will be playing the new character of Robin, “an alternative girl who is equal parts sharp and playful. Bored with her mundane day job, she just wants a little excitement in her life… and gets more than she bargained for when she uncovers a dark secret in Hawkins.” Also, Priah Ferguson will have a larger presence as Lucas’ scene-stealing little sister Erica.

    In other Season 3 news, we know Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) will finally get a break this year, and Mrs. Wheeler (Cara Buono) will reportedly have a more substantial storyline after that sexy tease with Billy Hargrove (Dacre Montgomery) in Season 2.

  • Natalie Portman Reacts to Those Millie Bobby Brown Comparisons

    “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown.

    Brown, who just turned 14, has repeatedly been compared to a young Natalie Portman:

    Portman doubled-down on the comparisons earlier this month on “Saturday Night Live,” playing Eleven in a “Stranger Things” sketch.

    Portman recently talked to MTV News about the MBB comparisons, calling “Stranger Things” “an incredible show,” and revealing she had a sweet Mini Me meet-up at the Golden Globes:

    “I met Millie at the Golden Globes a few months ago. She came up to me and was like, ‘People keep telling me I look like the kid version of you!’ I was so flattered because she’s absolutely adorable and so talented. I’m like, ‘That is very nice, but I think you’re your own magical person.’ But it was fun to give a nod to that on SNL. […] I see that there’s something there, but I also find her much more magical than I see myself. She’s really wonderful.”

    MBB responded with her own love:

    That’s all very sweet, but let’s just hope fans treat young Millie better than they treated young Natalie.

    Natalie Portman’s trippy sci-fi classic movie “Annihilation” opens Friday, Feb. 23. “Stranger Things” Season 3 starts filming this spring for release … 2019? … on Netflix.

  • Millie Bobby Brown to Star in ‘Enola Holmes Mysteries’ Films as Sherlock’s Sister

    75th Annual Golden Globe Awards - ArrivalsThis news goes to Eleven!

    “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown, 13, has already booked her next franchise. According to Deadline, she’ll both produce and star in a feature film series based on the “Enola Holmes Mysteries” novels by Nancy Springer.

    Enola Holmes, in the novels, is the 14-year-old sister of the famous Sherlock Holmes, and also Mycroft Holmes, both 20+ years her senior. The six novel series started in 2006 with “The Case of the Missing Marquess,” showing Enola as a skilled detective in her own right. (Side note: Did you notice that “Enola” written backward is “Alone”?)

    There have been several Sherlock Holmes adaptations over the decades, with recent modern versions starring Robert Downey, Jr. on the big screen and Benedict Cumberbatch on the small screen. It’ll be refreshing to see a new young Holmes on the case.

    Millie will produce the Enola Holmes film series through her PCMA Productions banner. She already has a relationship with Legendary Entertainment in the “Godzilla: King of Monsters” sequel coming out March 22nd, 2019.

    Millie just joined her “Stranger Things” costars at the 2018 Golden Globes, where they didn’t win a blessed thing other than our hearts. “Stranger Things” Season 3 hasn’t started filming yet, and the cast admitted they don’t know anything about what’s to come. Netflix is expected to release Season 3 in either late 2018 or (more likely) 2019. There’s no release date yet for the Enola Holmes films, but we’ll stay on the case!

  • ‘Stranger Things’ Season 3: Eleven Is Basically Harry Potter Now, the Duffers Explain

    The Girl Who Lived vs. VoldeMindFlayer?

    Spoilers ahead from “Stranger Things” Season 2.

    Eleven/Jane (“Stranger Things” Season 2, but it sounds like she’ll have more of a key role in “Stranger Things” Season 3. That’s based on reading between the Harry Potter lines of a conversation between CinemaBlend and series creators Matt and Ross Duffer.

    The Season 2 finale showed Eleven managing to close the gate, keeping the Shadow Monster/Mind Flayer in the Upside Down. And he’s still in there, as shown in the final image from Season 2, of an Upside Down Mind Flayer wishing Eleven was his date for the Snow Ball dance at Hawkins Middle School.

    To the Duffers, the Mind Flayer is basically Voldemort, with Eleven/Jane as the Harry Potter he didn’t quite know existed until he was thwarted.

    CinemaBlend asked the Duffers if the Mind Flayer would have a vendetta against Eleven, and here’s how they responded:

    Matt Duffer: Another really good question. I don’t know. No, no, no. It’s kind of the first thing, where you see him at the end of the show purposely coming face to face with her.

    Ross Duffer: And the idea that he didn’t know Eleven existed, much less someone with this kind of power, in order to keep him out. So then with that final shot, we wanted to hint at is maybe, yeah this thing is still there and it’s not thrilled with the way events happened.

    Matt Duffer: It’s a little bit of the Harry Potter thing, in terms of ‘Oh this is the one person who can stop me?’

    A “Stranger Things” prophecy! Does Eleven also have a lightning bolt scar marking her as The Dark Lord’s equal? (Maybe that’s her 011 tat.) Seriously, though, if we’re back to a situation where “neither can live while the other survives,” we just have to hope that Eleven gets to live.

    “Stranger Things” is planned to continue for at least four, possibly five, seasons on Netflix. So we can’t expect a quick resolution to the story. That’s not to say the villains won’t change over time. In Season 1, there was just the Demogorgon. In Season 2, a little Demodog became Dustin’s pet, with the Mind Flayer as the real threat.

    Sounds like Mind Flayer/Moldy Voldy is still the big threat of Season 3. Along with puberty. Season 3 is meant to pick up about a year or so after the events of Season 2, which suggests Hawkins at least gets a brief break from the drama.

    “Stranger Things” Seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Netflix. Season 3 is expected at some point in 2018.

  • ‘Stranger Things’ Star Millie Bobby Brown Loses Chance to Be Youngest Emmy Winner Ever

    US-ENTERTAINMENT-TELEVISION-EMMYS-ARRIVALSSorry, Eleven.

    The “Stranger Things” cast wowed on the red carpet of the 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, but they walked away empty-handed.

    The show was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series, with David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown nominated in supporting roles.

    69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - ArrivalsMillie, 13, looked like a princess at the Emmys, and if she had won, she would’ve been the youngest ever Emmy winner. The youngest-ever nominee is still Keisha Knight Pulliam, who was just 6-years-old when she earned a nod as Rudy Huxtable on “The Cosby Show.” The youngest winner is currently 14-year-old Roxana Zal for the movie-of-the-week “Something About Amelia.”

    Here was Millie’s competition for her Emmy:

    Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

    • Ann Dowd, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
    • Samira Wiley, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
    • Uzo Aduba, “Orange Is the New Black”
    • Millie Bobby Brown, “Stranger Things”
    • Chrissy Metz, “This Is Us”
    • Thandie Newton, “Westworld”

    Ann Dowd looked shocked when she picked up the win:

    But “The Handmaid’s Tale” was a big winner across the board, beating out top nominee “Westworld” just about every time, and also blocking the young “Stranger Things” star from a historic win.

    Here’s the full list of winners at the Sunday, Sept. 17 Emmys. There’s always next year, Millie.

  • Millie Bobby Brown Says ‘Logan’ Was Her Best Audition, Despite Being Rejected

    The 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet“Stranger Things” breakout star “Westworld” queen Evan Rachel Wood, and both answers were pretty surprising.

    Millie has had an incredible year, winning praise and awards as Eleven in the Netflix series, with more to come in Season 2 this Halloween. However, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t faced rejection along the way. One surprising aspect is that she named a rejected role as her best audition.

    In a scene from Variety‘s latest season of “Actors on Actors,” MBB revealed to ERW that she read for the role of Laura/X-23 in “Logan.” The role ultimately went to Dafne Keen, but Brown was still happy with the experience:

    “The best audition for me was Wolverine. I went for ‘Logan,’ I went for the little girl. I watched it, she was incredible. It meant so much to me. I was filming ‘Stranger Things’ and I was like, ‘It’s going to be amazing, I’m going to really prepare,’ and I sat in my room reading the lines. And, honestly, for me, I felt so — I felt [like] an actor, in the audition room, hitting Hugh Jackman and [director] James Mangold sitting right in front of me. I was like ‘Oh my goodness.’ I was one of the best auditions.”

    Yeah, you can’t knock any time you get to spend with The Jackman, even if you don’t get asked to spend even more time with him.

    As for Millie’s worst audition? It was for an “awkward” Barbie commercial. She had to jump up and down and hold this thing, and pretend to play with another girl. It was not the best experience.

    Watch more here:
    The full interview will air June 13 on Variety’s “Actors on Actors” Season 6, on PBS SoCal.
