Kid Cudi is finally taking the role people have been asking him to play for years. The rapper and Entergalactic creator announced on Instagram that he’s written Jean, a Jean-Michel Basquiat film he’ll also direct and star in. Cameras are set to roll in 2027. He researched the film by reading books and talking to people who knew Basquiat. He also shared photos from an early wardrobe test, dreadlocked wig and all (he says it’s not the final wig, so be nice).
Cudi dedicated the film to “all those dreamers out there.” There’s no word yet on whether Basquiat’s estate is on board, and that could decide whether the real paintings make it on screen. Jeffrey Wright set the bar in Julian Schnabel’s 1996 Basquiat, so Cudi has a big canvas to fill.
Check out the wardrobe test after the jump! Thoughts?
Troye Sivan handed The New Yorker his syllabus for its Starter Pack series, and honestly, we’re taking notes.
Annie Ernaux’s A Simple Passion and Eve Babitz’s Slow Days, Fast Company belong in Troye’s tote. Movie night consists of films like The Favourite followed by Paris Is Burning, and his music tastes swing from Arthur Russell to Cornelius. Then there’s “Gay Guy Music Video Night,” which is exactly what it sounds like.
The first trailer for Hurricanna (pronouncing this HurricaniANKA, obvi) dropped this week, with Sylvia Hoeks (Luv in Blade Runner 2049) as Anna Nicole Smith. The film skips the Guess ads and the Playmate years and stays in the hours around a paid appearance at a championship boxing match near the end of her life. Mark Duplass plays Howard K. Stern, the lawyer and boyfriend pushing her to take the money. Holly Hunter plays the psychiatrist who shows up at her Florida hotel to help, and the two of them end up fighting over who’s to blame for what’s in her pill bottles. It’s.. gonna be a watch. It’s gonna be a yes for me. Let’s just say that.
Elizabeth Banks plays Carol, a mom so done with her marriage and her plugged-in family that she books herself into DreamQuil, a digital wellness retreat for a future where the air is too filthy to go outside.
The catch is that while she’s away getting her brain defragged, hubby John C. Reilly and the kids have been living with Carol 2, a robot replacement who (we assume) never asks anyone to load the dishwasher. And when the real Carol comes home, things get sinister.
Elisa Donovan shares a difficult behind the scenes memory involving Brittany Murphy on the set of the Clueless movie.
Elisa Donovan takes us back to the hair and makeup trailer where Brittany Murphy insisted on doing her own styling before a scene. This specific moment captures the reality of working on a major 90s production, leading to an unexpected accident with a curling iron. The conversation explores how this incident fits into the larger context of Brittany Murphy’s career. Elisa reflects on her time working with the cast and offers a candid perspective on the warning signs she noticed, which stands in contrast to the public image of the star at the time.

Sandra Hüller serves us some Marlene Dietrich for AnOther Magazine’s Autumn/Winter 2026 issue, which doubles as AnOther’s 25th anniversary edition, shot by Willy Vanderperre and styled by Olivier Rizzo.
Hüller chats about the characters she plays:
“I just think they start to live with me. It’s a completely unconscious thing,” she says, adding that some of them want nothing to do with her and refuse to give away their secrets.
She has Paweł Pawlikowski’s Fatherland arriving October 23, Markus Schleinzer’s Rose next year, and an Iñárritu film called Digger in development.
Paramount and Legendary dropped a second look at their live-action Street Fighter this week. It’s set in 1993, which explains the neon, the hair, and the general fever-dream quality of the whole thing.
Check out the action-packed extended new trailer above! Thoughts?
