Ayo Edebiri is starring in the new A24 horror film Opus alongside John Malkovich and the film opened at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival to mixed reviews.

The actors hit the red carpet at the premiere event on Monday night (January 27) at the Eccles Center Theatre in Park City, Utah.

Ayo and John were joined by co-stars Juliette Lewis, Murray Bartlett, Stephanie Suganami, and Tatanka Means, as well as writer and director Mark Anthony Green.

Here is the synopsis: “A young writer (Edebiri) is invited to the remote compound of a legendary pop star (Malkovich) who mysteriously disappeared thirty years ago. Surrounded by the star’s cult of sycophants and intoxicated journalists, she finds herself in the middle of his twisted plan.”

Opus currently has a 33% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The Hollywood Reporter noted, “Despite solid performances from Edebiri and Malkovich, Opus never takes off. It mostly meanders, relying on leaden expository monologues to move the plot, and rarely delivers on the promised horror of its atmosphere.”

The movie hits theaters everywhere on March 14. Watch the trailer below.

While at the festival, Ayo was also seen attending the after party for the movie Move Ya Body: The Birth of House, directed by Elegance Bratton.

Bowen Yang and Kelly Marie Tran brought their upcoming movie The Wedding Banquet to the 2025 Sundance Film Festival ahead of its theatrical release in the spring.

The actors were joined by co-stars Han Gi-chan, Youn Yuh-jung, Joan Chen, Bobo Le and director Andrew Ahn at the film’s Sundance premiere on Monday night (January 27) in Park City, Utah.

The Wedding Banquet is a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity. Angela (Tran) and her partner Lee (Lily Gladstone) have been unlucky with their IVF treatments, but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min (Han), the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa. When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris (Yang) rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF. But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min’s skeptical grandmother (Youn) flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza.

The movie will be released in theaters on April 18. Watch the teaser trailer below!

Dave Franco & Alison Brie Reveal 1 Thing They Never Do When Working Together https://www.justjared.com/2025/01/27/dave-franco-alison-brie-reveal-1-thing-they-never-do-when-working-together/ https://www.justjared.com/2025/01/27/dave-franco-alison-brie-reveal-1-thing-they-never-do-when-working-together/#comments Mon, 27 Jan 2025 07:21:45 +0000 Just Jared https://www.justjared.com/2025/01/27/dave-franco-alison-brie-reveal-1-thing-they-never-do-when-working-together/

Dave Franco and Alison Brie pose together while attending the premiere of their new movie Together at Eccles Theatre on Sunday (January 26) in Park City, Utah.

The married couple and co-stars were joined their writer and director Michael Shanks for the event, which was held during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

While attending another event over the weekend, Dave and Alison dished on what it’s like working together and revealed something that they never do on set when filming.

Keep reading to find out more…

“We love it and we want to keep going,” Dave told Variety. “As long as people let us keep doing it, we feel like we’re getting away with something. For whatever reason, we work really well together. When we’re acting together, we’re so comfortable with each other and we can take more risks with the material. If one of us has an inauthentic moment the other sees it right away, so we have to do our best work.”

While on set together, Alison said, “We’re never giving each other notes because…it’s just like ew, I can tell that was false and I know Dave knows.”

This isn’t the first time they’ve worked together, and it’s actually their fifth project, following Somebody That I Used to Know, The Rental, The Disaster Artist, and The Little Hours.

“We don’t want to burn people out on us,” Dave said of working apart. “It’s nice to go off and then get excited again about working together.”

“It’s helpful in maintaining our own independence. Plus, I love watching Dave’s work,” Alison added. “So it’s fun when you go off and do your own work because it’s a treat for me to watch it. Also, it’s good to work with other people who you are not married to and have new experiences. These are good things for one’s life.”

Speaking of separate projects, Alison is set to star in the upcoming Masters of the Universe live-action adaptation!

While at Sundance, Dave reacted to fans wanting him to play Luigi Mangione on screen.

Me and Diego [Luna] were on set and we’re dancing around and we’re singing and looking at each other and it’s like we don’t want to do anything else but musicals. Diego said that! Me too. I don’t want to do anything else.”

Bill wrote a script that for the the first time in my life I was in bed reading it and I started saying it out loud. Saying the lines and laughing and crying,” she added. “This is what I’ve been waiting for my whole life. This is all I’ve ever wanted to do. I got into movies because of West Side Story. I thought I was going to do Broadway. I wanted to do movies but I didn’t even think about records. I wanted to do musicals. I love musicals. My kids love musicals. My mother did. It was a dream fulfilled in having done the movie.”
