Universal
The new trailer for the Jordan Peele-produced sports horror film Him leaves it all on the field.
Marlon Wayans stars as a championship quarterback who offers to train a rising football star played by Tyriq Withers. But as we see in the teaser, his means of achieving success may have sinister consequences.
“If you want to transcend the game, you have to dig deep,” Wayans’ character says in the trailer. “Your mind and your body have to be in sync. Talent is how hard you’re willing to work. No days off. No sleep. We grind. I’m never good enough … that’s how great people think.”
He continues, “So you’re gonna have to ask yourself: what am I willing to sacrifice?”
The film, directed by Justin Tipping, also stars Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, Akeem Hayes and Tierra Whack. It hits theaters Sept. 19.

Kim Kardashian thought she was going to die during a violent robbery at a luxury hotel suite in Paris in 2016.
“I absolutely thought that I was going to die,” the reality TV star and entrepreneur said Tuesday in a Paris courtroom, where a trial is underway for 10 people accused in connection with the violent robbery of millions of dollars’ worth of her jewelry.
Kardashian testified mid-afternoon, giving her version of the incident, which allegedly saw her tied up and held at gunpoint in a luxury hotel suite during Paris fashion week in 2016.
Nine men and one woman are accused in connection with the robbery, during which five masked men posing as police officers allegedly stormed into Kardashian’s hotel suite.
The suspects allegedly made off with valuables worth at least $6 million, including a diamond engagement ring given to Kardashian by her then-husband, Kanye West. That ring alone was said to be worth about $4 million.
The trial, which began last month, has been a spectacle in the French media, where the defendants are collectively referred to as the “grandpa robbers” — or “les papys braqueurs” — because many of them are over 60.
The defendants are charged with several counts, the main one for most of them being armed robbery in an organized gang. Some are also charged with kidnapping.
Kardashian’s testimony followed that of Simone Harouche, a stylist and Kim’s childhood friend. She told the court earlier on Tuesday about the shock and trauma of waking up during the robbery.
Harouche described the scene, saying she saw Kardashian coming down the hotel suite’s stairs with tape on her feet. She said Kardashian was screaming that they might have to jump out the window to escape the burglars. Harouche said she could hear “terror” in Kardashian’s voice.
“It was a sound I never heard from Kim,” Harouche told the court. “It was terror. I remember specifically she said, ‘I have babies and I need to live. Take everything. I need to live.'”
Jonathan Bailey isn’t planning on leaving Bridgerton anytime soon.
The actor said he wants to continue as a supporting character on the show even as his own star rises in a cover story for The Hollywood Reporter released on Wednesday.
“I’ve never been someone who’s like, ‘Thanks, bye.’ It’s not in my nature,” Bailey said.
Bridgerton revolves around the romantic lives of the titular family. The Netflix period drama tells the stories of “the eight close-knit siblings of the Bridgerton family” as they “look for love and happiness in London high society,” according to its official logline.
Each season revolves around a different Bridgerton sibling. Bailey’s character, Anthony Bridgerton, was the lead in season 2. With season 4 on its way in 2026, Bailey says he feels a sense of pride in continuing to be there for the show as the story needs him to be.
“There’s a real sense of brotherly pride I feel in it,” Bailey said. “I was filming a wedding on a Monday morning. … People know that people get married in Bridgerton — that’s not a spoiler, right?”
Even though Bailey acknowledges the possibly of a future season not working out with his busy schedule, he looks forward to watching his Bridgerton co-stars continue to shine.
“I look forward to, in another however many years, when we’ve done the eighth season to sit around and be like, ‘Look what we all did together,’” Bailey said.
He also understands the show from the fan perspective.
“I know how much I love long-running series,” Bailey said. “I know how important familiarity of character and story and consistency is in these long-running series.”
