Pete Davidson Uncovers a Retirement Community Serial Killer in ‘The Home' Trailer
Pete Davidson is making his horror debut with the latest thriller from 'The Purge' creator James DeMonaco. After starring in killer comedy 'Bodies Bodies Bodies,' Davidson fully leans into the genre with DeMonaco's 'The Home' which is set in a retirement community.
Davidson plays a rebellious twentysomething who is sentenced to community service at the seemingly-quiet nursing home. However, the residents on the fourth floor are strictly off-limits due to their 'special care' procedures. As the logline teases, 'as his suspicions grow and he digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling secret that puts both the residents' lives and his own in grave danger.' John Glover and Bruce Altman also star. DeMonaco directs from a script he co-wrote with Adam Cantor.

'When I set out to create 'The Home,' I aimed to capture the spine-chilling eeriness of 70's horror, where suspense simmers and ultimately erupts into glorious chaos,' DeMonaco said. 'Joining me is my Staten Island brother, Pete Davidson, who unveils a darker, dramatic side as his character navigates a bizarre group of residents in an old age home. The growing tension culminates in an epic blood-soaked finale, designed to leave audiences gasping, terrified, and cheering. I can't wait for everyone to visit The Home. Cover your eyes, folks.'
'The Home' is produced by Bill Block and Sebastien K. Lemercier. In addition to 'The Home,' Davidson recently has appeared in 'Riff Raff' and is set to star in 'The Pickup' alongside Eddie Murphy. Davidson also returned to 'Saturday Night Live' for the 'SNL50' event earlier this year; the actor starred on the sketch series from 2014 to 2022.
'I think I was very lucky to get my own own video [during the 'SNL50' special],' Davidson told Variety. 'There's 1,000 cast members and hundreds that are more popular and did better work than I did while I was there. I was just very grateful to be in a sketch and have a video and even just be invited. It was very surreal to see.'
Davidson added, 'I know I was there for almost a decade but even when I came back and hosted, I was like, 'Wow, I do know all these guys.' I know [creator] Lorne [Michaels], I know most of the cast. It just hits different when you see, like, Meryl Streep doing a sketch. And I also know it was a bunch of people who were in nothing so I'm just very grateful. It was a really surreal moment, and I'm happy that it went well for Lorne and just for the history and the integrity of the institution.' He added that Michaels, who executive produced Davidson's meta Peacock series 'Bupkis,' was a father figure to him.
Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions will co-release 'The Home' in theaters July 25. Check out the trailer below.

Cannes is done with huge cruise ships. The French city is joining the overtourism backlash
PARIS (AP) — The French Riviera resort of Cannes is imposing what its city council calls 'drastic regulation' on cruise ships, banning any vessels carrying more than 1,000 people from its harbor starting next year. The home of the world's premier film festival is joining a growing global backlash against overtourism, which recently saw uproar over Jeff Bezos' and Lauren Sanchez' Venice wedding this weekend, water-gun protests in Spain and a surprise strike at the Louvre Museum. 'Less numerous, less big, less polluting and more esthetic' — that's the aim of Cannes city councilors who voted Friday to introduce new limits on cruise ships in its ports starting Jan. 1. Only ships with fewer than 1,000 passengers will be allowed in the port, with a maximum of 6,000 passengers disembarking per day. Larger ships will be expected to transfer passengers to smaller boats to enter Cannes. France — which drew in some 100 million visitors last year, more than any other European country and more than the country's population — is on the front line of efforts to balance economic benefits of tourism with environmental concerns while managing ever-growing crowds. 'Cannes has become a major cruise ship destination, with real economic benefits. It's not about banning cruise ships, but about regulating, organizing, setting guidelines for their navigation,' Mayor David Lisnard said in a statement. Cruise operators have called such restrictions damaging for destinations and for passengers. Two cruise ships were scheduled to dock in Cannes on Sunday, each bigger than the upcoming 1,000-passenger limit and with a combined capacity of more than 7,000 people. Their owners did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the new restrictions. The nearby Mediterranean city of Nice announced limits on cruise ships earlier this year, as have some other European cities.

Summer In A Bottle
Does any wine signal summer more than a refreshing rosé? 1958, outside the Carlton Hotel, Cannes. Yep, that's rose. Depending on what part of the country you live in, when the first day of summer hit on June 21, it was either a continuation of a heat wave or, in the northeast, an unseasonable chilly day (I was wearing fleece in upstate New York). But that didn't stop me from thinking about rosé wines that are truly summer in a bottle, no matter how fickle Mother Nature is. Pop open one of these rain or shine and transport yourself to summer, whatever your local weather.A quartet of roses that sing summer Château Gassier Rosé, Cotes de Provence. Stone fruit and tangerine join the red-berry party, accompanies by flecks of pink grapefruit. Pretty label makes a nice presentation on the table. Blend of traditional southern France grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Vermentino, the latter adding a zesty character. Cuvaison Grenache Rosé 2024, Los Carneros. Estate-grown baby red fruit from the market with raspberry and strawberries making a tender appearance along with watermelon and sweet florals—not heady, but present and pretty. As it opens, a deeper red fruit shows up—currant and pomegranate. Lively and happy; zesty and fresh all around. Leos Cuvee 'Augusta' Rosé, Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Named for the winemaker's mother, this is a rather atypical blend of Grenache, Bourboulenc, a tropical-fruited white grape of southern France typically used in blends; and Vermentino, which always adds a punch. An area to watch: at the crossroads of the Luberon, Mont Ventoux (Provence's highest peak and known as the killer leg of the Tour de France) and the Alpilles, it delivers delicious wines such as this as a good bargain (this one from $20 - $24). Portlandia Rosé 2024 Columbia Valley, Washington State. Tart and fresh, with a splash of red-berry fruits—not market basket fresh, but more like freshly picked off the bush—and a little bramble. Made of 100% Syrah, this has a little more structure, so it wants a food partner. I liked it with salmon with a grilled crispy crust. Quartet 2, oh sing thee of summer! Revelation by Goose Ridge 2023, Goose Gap AVA, Washington State. Super splashy and zesty with a provocative illustration on the label from this multi-generational woman-owned winery. While the bottle is a conversation starter, so is the wine: fresh and sassy with light baby strawberries and early-summer red fruits. Uplifting acid. Saracina Rosé of Grenache, Mendocino. From a Mendocino County winery producing in the northwest California Mayacamas Mountains, this is almost costal, almost Russian River adjacent. Copper penny pink with plenty of white florals on the nose followed by fresh mountain-side strawberries and tangerine on the palate. Fine on its own, but also a good sip with starters. Soleil Vin de Bonte 'Le Rosé' Vin de France. With an illustration of the sun on the label, you really can't go wrong calling this summer in a bottle. And, indeed it is! Berries and citrus, easy drinking, versatile as an aperitif wine or with light plates of soft cheeses and charcuterie or a seafood composed salad. Studio by Miraval Mediteranee IGP. Grapefruit meets ripe nectarine and plush tropical fruits such as guava in a pretty-in-pink juice from the venerable Famille Perrin. Dry and crisp but that lush expression lingers til the end. Stylish bottle is a good party guest.
