BLACKPINK fans finally got the moment they've been waiting for. In a newly released teaser, the global K-pop group previewed their upcoming world tour, 'Deadline' which marks their long-awaited reunion as a quartet.
The teaser opens with Rosé making a mysterious phone call from a desert landscape, before Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo appear one by one.

Emma Stone talks 'Eddington', Joaquin Phoenix, and that Cannes bee video with Pascal and Butler
Emma Stone is opening up about a whirlwind of behind-the-scenes moments while promoting Ari Aster's upcoming film Eddington, set to release July 18. During the world premiere in West Hollywood, Stone sat down with Variety and revealed she enjoyed rehearsing alongside Joaquin Phoenix. 'We rehearsed. We went through everything,' she said. Yet, she admitted rehearsals can be hit or miss: sometimes invigorating, other times stressful. Fortunately, working with Phoenix on his character, a small-town sheriff, was one of her more rewarding experiences. Aster's film, set during the early COVID period, centres around a tense mayoral race between Phoenix's character and Pedro Pascal's town mayor. Stone portrays the sheriff's wife, Louise. The cast also includes Austin Butler, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Michael Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., Cameron Mann, and William Belleau. Stone also addressed a viral red-carpet moment at Cannes, where a bee swooped past her during a Eddington photo-op with Pascal and Butler. 'He [Butler] was trying to blow it behind me,' she told host Jimmy Kimmel, adding that Pascal likely 'unleashed that bee'. The playful incident had captured global attention and Stone laughed it off, praising both co-stars for their protective efforts. Shortly before the Eddington premiere, Stone's other upcoming film, Bugonia, debuted its first trailer. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the story features her as a CEO suspected of being an alien, kidnapped by two conspiracy theorist friends played by Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis. With Eddington arriving July 18 and Bugonia set for limited release on October 24 ahead of a wide debut on October 31, Stone continues to demonstrate her range - from dramatic Western-thrillers to dark comedies.
