In the vein of HARD CANDY and GONE GIRL, PET is a psychological thriller that deals with the themes of identity, loneliness, selflessness and what it means to truly belong to another.

PET is at its heart a dark love story that examines how much one is willing to sacrifice in the name of love.

By Andrew Van Wilpe

She’s back, and she’s got a message. Gaga reemerges in her music alongside a new single ‘Perfect Illusion,’ with a slightly more a rock n’ roll image we haven’t seen much of since her ‘Born this Way,’ album. On September 9th, Lady Gaga released her much anticipated single, this dance rock track is the appetizer for her fifth album “Joanne,” that’s to be released October 21st,

Upon the release, the chorus made many believe this song was about her ex-fiancé Taylor Kinney.

‘It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn’t love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
You were a perfect illusion,’

Was Gaga taking the Taylor Swift break-up route in her music?

Lady Gaga Tweet Confirms Leading Role In ‘A Star Is Born’ Remake Opposite Director Bradley Cooper

By James Geddes

Lady Gaga is slated to star opposite Bradley Cooper in the long rumored remake of the classic movie musical A Star Is Born. The pop star confirmed the news on her Twitter account.

Reports of a potential remake of the movie have been floating around Hollywood for the past few years. While Cooper was always mentioned as the director and co-star for the project, which will mark his film directorial debut, the actress rumored to be starring opposite him was another A-list pop star, Beyoncé.

Things apparently heated up this spring when Lady Gaga’s name was newly attached to A Star Is Born, and a reported screen test with Cooper apparently wowed the bigwigs at Warner Bros., which is producing the film. Now, Lady Gaga herself has confirmed the news that she will indeed be performing the title role in the flick.

The film follows Desmond from his childhod in Blue Ridge Mountains to his army training to the battlegrounds of Okinawa, Japan but refused to kill people and did not carry a weapon.

Former “Spider-Man” star Andrew Garfield plays Desmond Doss. This is Gibson’s first directorial outing since 2006’s “Apocalypto.

The topical drama is slated for a Nov. 4 US theatrical release and will also play at the 73rd Venice Film Festival

Here is the official synopsis for Hacksaw Ridge:
HACKSAW RIDGE is the extraordinary true story of conscientious collaborator Desmond Doss [Andrew Garfield] who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He believed the war was just, but killing was nevertheless wrong; he was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon. As an army medic, Doss single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. He was the first conscientious objector to ever earn the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Opens 4 November 2016 (USA)
Director: Mel Gibson
Stars: Teresa Palmer, Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington, Vince Vaugh, Hugo Weaving, Luke Bracey

New BTS Images From Suicide Squad Show Off The Props

By Josh Wilding

The marketing blitz for David Ayer’s Suicide Squad continues today via EW’s Instagram account, where photographer Clay Enos (who worked on Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and is also hard at work on Justice League), shared several photos from the set of the upcoming DC Comics adaptation. Unlike the stills EW released earlier this week, these ones feature a bunch of the film’s props, giving us some neat BTS shots in the process.

Seen in the gallery above, Enos’ photos show off Ayer immersing himself in the Joker’s massive collection of “toys,” Harley Quinn’s bats and a Joker playing card. Nothing too revealing, but we’ve already seen a hell of a lot from Suicide Squad and at this stage, I think Warner Bros. is better off holding back on new material. After all, we don’t want everything to be spoiled before we even walk into the theatre.
