First Look Images of George Clooney and Adam Sandler in Netflix's 'Jay Kelly'
Summary The highly anticipated new film from writer-directorNoah Baumbachfinally has its first released initial images fromJay Kelly, a new film that pairs Hollywood legendGeorge Clooneywith the comedic genius ofAdam Sandler. These images, initially revealed byVanity Fair, offer a tantalizing preview of a project that is already generating significant buzz for its unique blend of creative forces. The photos immediately hint at the film's tone—a mix of Baumbach's signature poignant human drama and understated wit. Clooney, known for his polished on-screen presence, appears in a more vulnerable light, while Sandler, fresh from a series of acclaimed dramatic roles, seems to be leaning into a character that is both complex and deeply relatable. This marks a new creative chapter for both actors, working under a director celebrated for his ability to craft intimate, character-driven narratives. This film is a testament to the powerful, unconventional pairings that Netflix continues to facilitate. The combination of Baumbach's unique voice, Clooney's gravitas and Sandler's dramatic depth promises a cinematic experience that is both moving and memorable. The film, which is slated to be a coming-of-age comedy-drama with a logline that reads, 'A gigantic movie star in his 60s facing down a personal reckoning. His career has been characterized by consistent success, at times overwhelming fame, and the occasional criticism that he mostly plays himself onscreen…He senses a widening distance between him and his younger daughter (Edwards), while still being haunted by the firmer estrangement from his eldest (Keough). He's mourning the sudden death of the director who got him his big break (Broadbent). And he tensely reunites with an acting-school buddy who didn't make it (Crudup), leading to a brutal reality check on the complex personal choices that lead to megafame and, maybe, megaloneliness.' While plot specifics remain tightly under wraps, these first look images confirm thatJay Kellyis poised to be a major cultural event, further cementing Netflix's reputation as a home for auteur-driven cinema. The cast also includes Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Riley Keough, Isla Fisher, Jim Broadbent, Greta Gerwig and Patrick Wilson.

Lady Gaga's ‘Wednesday' Role Will Also Include a Spooky New Song for Season 2
Lady Gaga's involvement in Wednesday season 2 extends beyond acting to a brand-new song, Billboard can confirm. Gaga is expected to release a new song titled 'Dead Dance' next month, timed to her guest role on the new season, Variety was the first to report. The outlet also reported that Andrew Watt and Cirkut — who worked with Gaga on her most recent album Mayhem — are behind the new song. More from Billboard Lady Gaga's 'Wednesday' Character Confirmed, First Six Minutes of Season Two Released Australian Rockers The Angels Honored With Laneway & Mural in Hometown Metro Boomin Blames Social Media for Music Not Being Regional Anymore: 'Let's Get Back to Actual Culture' Billboard has reached out to reps for Lady Gaga and Netflix for more details. Back in May, Netflix confirmed that Gaga would appear in season 2 of Wednesday, the hit series starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, playing 'the mysterious and enigmatic Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday.' The streaming service announced the news of Gaga as guest star at its Tudum fan event at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on May 31. Gaga also took the stage at the event for a Wednesday-themed set that had her emerging from a coffin with a lid that read 'HERE LIES THE MONSTER QUEEN.' She performed the on-theme Mayhem tracks 'Zombieboy' and 'Abracadabra' before returning to her coffin, and the middle of her mini-set included a dance performance to The Cramps' 'Goo Goo Muck,' inspired by the viral dance scene from Wednesday's first season. Back in 2022, fans inspired by the Wednesday scene uploaded videos of themselves performing the dance to TikTok and other platforms, but many Little Monsters swapped out the audio of 'Goo Goo Muck' with a sped-up version of Gaga's 'Bloody Mary' — including the pop star herself after she caught onto the trend. Gaga's association to the show now continues with the season 2 acting role and new song. According to Variety, a music video will also be released for the song in September as well. Last month, it was reported that Gaga was spotted with Wednesday director Tim Burton on the Island of the Dolls, south of Mexico City, but there's no word whether that is related to the new song or video. The first Wednesday season 2 episodes arrive (naturally) on Wednesday to Netflix. A second batch is due Sept. 3, which will seemingly include Gaga's appearance on the show.
