Nick Reiner has been indicted on charges alleging he murdered his parents, renowned director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner, by means of lying in wait, prosecutors announced Wednesday.

The indictment, which was returned on July 20 and unsealed Wednesday, charges Nick Reiner with two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder by means of lying in wait, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Nick Reiner also faces a special allegation that he used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife, the office said.

Nick Reiner, 32, pleaded not guilty to the indictment on Wednesday. He remains held on no bond and is next scheduled to appear in court for a pretrial hearing on Sept. 15.

Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on Dec. 14, 2025. The night before their deaths, Nick Reiner — who had been living on his parents’ property at the time — got into an argument with Rob Reiner at a holiday party and was seen acting strangely, sources told ABC News in December.

Nick Reiner was arrested and initially charged with two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegation of multiple murders, as well as faced a special allegation that he used a dangerous and deadly weapon.

The indictment, which added a special allegation of lying in wait, means the case will no longer have a preliminary hearing that had been scheduled to occur in the coming weeks.

Jenna Fischer has joined in on the support for Lucy Davis after the actress revealed she has incurable breast cancer.

Davis, known for playing Dawn Tinsley in the U.K. version of The Office, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a health update. She announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025 and that the disease has metastasized to her bones.

“A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer, which has metastasized to my bones. Specifically to my spine, right hip, and my ribs. The cancer is incurable, and too late for chemo,” Davis wrote.

She continued, “As of now, I’m trying to live out whatever might be left of my life in as fun a way as I possibly can. I always like to find the teachable moments in anything negative that happens. And cancer has not disappointed in that regard; there’s a lot I have learned from it, and I’m grateful for that.”

Davis said she wants to continue working as long as she can.

“I still would like to keep working. I’m perfectly able to do so, and acting is one of the biggest joys in my life,” she wrote. “For those of you on a similar journey to mine, I do wish you well. Cancer asks a lot from us, physically and mentally. And we all get to do it however we choose.”

Her post garnered support from her many fans and famous friends. Fischer, who played her counterpart character Pam Beesly in the U.S. version of The Office, commented, “Beautiful post. Love you lots. And yes to working with cancer! Let’s spread that message far and wide! How working is such a comfort!”

Fischer herself is a breast cancer survivor. She revealed she was living cancer free in 2024 after she had been diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer.

Davis’ Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright also shared support. He commented, “Love you Lucy. Always. See you very soon.” Sarah Paulson also took to the comments, writing, “you are and always have been full of magic.”

The official teaser trailer and release date for Josephine has arrived.

Sumerian Pictures has released the first trailer for its upcoming film that stars Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan.

The movie, which also stars newcomer Mason Lily Reeves, won both the U.S. Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. It will debut to select theaters on Nov. 20 and then expand nationwide on Dec. 4.

Josephine is based on writer, director and producer Beth de Araújo’s personal life experiences. It follows the “psychological fallout after eight-year-old Josephine (Reeves) witnesses a crime in Golden Gate Park. As she acts out, her parents (Tatum, Chan) struggle with helping their daughter cope, while facing their own fears around the topic and how to address it with their child,” according to an official synopsis.

In addition to starring in the film, both Tatum and Chan produced it. The teaser trailer finds both actors as the parents of a young child. We see them comfort and care for their daughter after she witnessed a crime.

“Josephine, can you tell me what you saw?” a therapist character asks the young child, played by Reeves, in the trailer. The child then acts out an act of violence before the scene cuts to Tatum.

“Joe, look me in the eye and swear to me that you’re telling the truth,” Tatum says.

Josephine is also produced by David Kaplan, Josh Peters, Marina Stabile, Mark H. Rapaport and Crystine Zhang.

The official trailer for Verity is here.

Amazon MGM Studios has released a new trailer for its upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling psychological thriller.

Anne Hathaway stars alongside Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett in the movie, which finds Hathaway also producing and Johnson executive producing.

The film follows author Verity Crawford (Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson), “a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity,” according to its official synopsis. “After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity’s chilling autobiographical notes, she wrestles with the disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity’s husband Jeremy (Hartnett), and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.”

The new trailer finds Johnson’s Lowen approached by Hartnett’s Jeremy to finish writing Verity’s final novel.

“Her fans know her voice. They would know it’s not her,” Lowen says.

Later in the trailer, Lowen finds a draft of Verity’s autobiography.

“A writer’s words should be honest, and bloody, and a little bit terrifying,” Hathaway’s Verity says in a voice-over.

Michael Showalter directed the film from a screenplay by Nick Antosca, which was produced by Hoover.

Verity arrives in theaters on Oct. 2.

Brad Pitt opens up about sobriety, suicidal thoughts in candid interview

Brad Pitt is getting candid about his life behind the scenes, opening up about sobriety and his mental health.

In a wide-ranging interview with Esquire published on Monday, the Academy Award winner said he’s no longer sober and that he had felt suicidal at one point over “family stuff.”

“I was sober for seven years,” Pitt said. “And then I got back off the wagon. In a more restrained manner. I got overconfident a couple times, went, ‘Yep, nope, not good for me. Not in big quantities.'”

Pitt said he can drink a few glasses of wine now but added that he “can’t have a lot,” saying that he has to be “professional about it.”

Last year, the F1 actor opened up about his experience attending Alcoholics Anonymous. He also has previously credited Bradley Cooper for helping him get sober.

Elsewhere in the interview, Pitt opened up about the death of his mother in August 2025.

His mother’s death was one of several challenging moments he said he faced involving family, which he said led him to an especially low point in his life.

“I’ve never been suicidal except for one little period. And in that one little period, I just thought — I just couldn’t — just didn’t see a way out,” he said, describing the pain he felt at the time as “oppressive.”

“Yeah. Like, listen: This s*** ain’t easy,” he added. “And you’re talking to a guy who won the lottery.”

Pitt’s next movie role is in Heart of the Beast. He’s also a producer on the project.

Pitt plays Special Forces Officer James Belmont in the film, who, along with his combat dog Odin, finds himself “stranded deep in the Alaskan wilderness,” according to a synopsis.

The film is directed by David Ayer and written by Cameron Alexander. J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe also star in it.

Heart of the Beast arrives in theaters on Sept. 25.

Demi Lovato is exactly where she’s supposed to be: in the new Camp Rock movie.

Ahead of the Camp Rock 3 premiere on Monday in Burbank, California, it was announced that Demi would reprise her iconic role as Mitchie Torres in the highly anticipated film.

“Everyone kept saying, ‘Are you gong to be a part of the film?’ and I kept having to say, ‘Well, you’ll just have to wait and see,'” Demi told Good Morning America at the premiere. “So now it’s out, cat’s out of the bag and I’m in it … I can’t wait for it to be in the world’s hands.”

Camp Rock fans were first introduced to Mitchie when the first film premiered on the Disney Channel in June 2008.  As an aspiring singer-songwriter in the first two films, she attends Camp Rock, a music camp for gifted teens, where her mother, Connie, works as the camp cook.  “This Is Me,” the song Demi recorded with co-star Joe Jonas for the movie, peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 2008.

It was previously announced that Demi and Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas would be co-executive producers on Camp Rock 3, but that Demi wasn’t returning. Joe, Nick and Kevin reprise their original roles as the members of the band Connect 3 in the new movie.

Camp Rock 3 premieres on the Disney Channel Aug. 3 and hits Disney+ Aug. 14.
