Teaser Trailer for Ron Howard's Survival Thriller EDEN with Sydney Sweeney, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, and More — GeekTyrant
Here's a new teaser trailer for director Ron Howard's upcoming film Eden , which is a survival thriller that comes with an impressive ensemble cast that includes Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney, and Daniel Brühl.
The movie is based on an unsolved mystery that unfolded on a remote island in the Galapagos, and it charts the lengths humans will go in pursuit of happiness.
It's inspired by two different accounts of the same true story, and the film is described as 'a darkly comic tale of murder and survival, set around a group of eclectic characters who abandon civilization for the Galapagos.
They are all searching for the answer to that ever-pressing question that plagues us all: what is the meaning of life.'
In the film, 'Dr. Friedrich Ritter (Law) and his partner Dora Strauch (Kirby) flee their native Germany in 1929, repudiating the bourgeois values they believe are corroding mankind's true nature. On the Galapagos isle named Floreana, Friedrich can focus on writing his manifesto, while Dora resolves to cure her multiple sclerosis through meditation.
'Their hard-won solitude, however, is short lived. They're joined by Margaret (Sweeney) and Heinz Wittmer (Brühl), who also prove to be earnest, capable settlers. Next comes Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn (Armas) a self-described Baroness and the 'embodiment of perfection,' who arrives with two devoted lovers, an Ecuadorian servant, a wardrobe full of evening gowns, and plans to erect a luxury hotel.
'Between inclement weather, unruly wildlife, and a total lack of amenities, all three groups find life on Floreana arduous. But nothing will test their mettle more than the challenge of coexisting with desperate neighbours capable of theft, deception... and worse.'
This is a very different kind of film from Howard, who previously helmed Splash, Cocoon, Willow, Backdraft, The Paper, Apollo 13, Ransom, A Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man, The Da Vinci Code, Rush, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Hillbilly Elegy , and Thirteen Lives most recently.
The screenplay is written by Noah Park ( The Show , Tetris ). The film will hit theaters on August 22, 2025.

Leica: 100 Years In The Making
Jason Momoa attends 100 Years of Leica: Witness to a Century, on May 03, 2025 in New York City. ... More (Photo byfor Leica Camera USA) When talking about cameras, Leica never fails to make the conversational cut. And this year more than ever, as the distinguished German brand marks the 100th anniversary of the Leica 1 – and a century of continuous camera production – the marque is popping up all over the globe with exclusive special edition models and complementary festivities. The '100 Years of Leica: Witness to a Century' made a star-studded stop last month in NYC, debuting a standout limited production run of 100 M11 cameras, each engraved with 'New York USA.' Andreas Kaufmann, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Leica Camera AG, at a press conference at ... More Leica headquarters. "We started in Dubai and we will finish in October in Tokyo,' Dr. Andreas Kaufmann, chairman of the supervisory board of Leica Camera AG, told me, referencing Leica's multi-city celebratory sojourn. In addition to NYC, the gatherings continue in Milan, Italy; Dubai, UAE; Shanghai, China; Tokyo, Japan; and Leica's home, Wetzlar, Germany, where festivities were held June 26. Each city, like NYC, is honored with a limited production engraved camera that will be available for purchase exclusively in its home country. The Anniversary Collection, as it is broadly called, also includes history-inspired cameras and accessories from traditional brands like Graf von Faber-Castell, which is producing a limited edition commemorative Perfect Pencil and a limited edition Perfect Ballpoint pen. Leica's Claim To Fame Whether a dedicated 'cameraphile' or weekend warrior, photographers will appreciate that the Leica 1 was Leica's first 35mm camera to be mass produced, transforming the status quo with its portable design and compact size. It thus exploded a genre – street photography – that undoubtedly altered the public's perceptions of the world. Acclaimed 20th-century photojournalist Henri Cartier-Bresson, for example, used Leica's M-3 and famously called it 'the extension of my eye.' After experimenting with his first camera, the French artist remarked poetically, 'I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant.' Dr. Kaufmann attributes Leica's enduring success in part to its resiliency, having spanned war and economic and political uncertainties over its decades-long history. And as for innovation, German engineering – perhaps best personified at Leica by Oskar Barnack – put the company on the map as a leader in its field. Barnack was a photographer and inventor credited with creating, in 1913, what would eventually become the groundbreaking Leica 1. He came to Wetzlar at the behest of Leica founder Ernst Leitz. The Leica Evolution As photography evolves, so, too, Leica. The company has made great strides with digital products, including the popular M-Series models, and increasingly software-driven technologies are the future. Dr. Kaufmann is a proponent of phone cameras, which, he says offer a coherent gateway into more sophisticated picture taking and equipment. And with over 7 billion smartphone users worldwide, that's a lot of potential waiting to happen. With numerous retail locations and about 28 photo galleries worldwide, and more expected in the near future, it is obvious Leica respects the camera as both a technical product and a creative tool for making art. 'The educated photographer always wants to produce something,' says Dr. Kaufmann. 'And art is the one luxury left…it's how you see the world.'

Alyssa Farah Griffin Says She Accidentally 'Flashed' Jude Law And Then Made It Worse
'The View' host Alyssa Farah Griffin revealed Thursday that she gave actor Jude Law an unintended view of herself. (Watch the video below.) The panelists had been discussing singer LeAnn Rimes' teeth falling out during a recent concert when Griffin chimed in with her own embarrassing moment. 'This isn't quite the same, but I accidentally flashed my underwear to Jude Law backstage once,' she said of the 'Fantastic Beasts' star. 'My mic pack fell down my dress so, at commercial, I run back and usually it's either Rachel or Shauna, our female audio techs. It was Rachel. I flashed my skirt up so she could help me move it, and Jude Law's just standing there.' 'And then, in my embarrassment, he just said nothing and I go, 'I'm sorry, sir!'' Griffin continued. 'Like, I made it worse by calling him sir! And then I maybe curtsied. It was brutal.' Check it out at 1:45: Law last visited the talk show in November, but it was unclear when the incident happened. Actor Hayley Atwell recently recounted how she, too, overcompensated in a cringe moment with another star, Tom Cruise. Several people from 'Mission: Impossible ― The Final Reckoning' watched a movie together at Cruise's house. Cruise also invited Atwell's French bulldogs, who sat on Cruise's lap and farted incessantly. The stench filled up the room. Atwell told 'The Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon she was so embarrassed she felt compelled to say something. 'So there was a lull in the film, and I just turned to him at one point and I went, 'Sorry for all the tootin'' (in an exaggerated Western movie delivery). When Cruise muttered something barely intelligible back, Atwell said she thought, 'That's more awkward than the farting.'
