Italian producer and director Ginevra Elkann, whose delicate first feature “If Only” opened the 2019 Locarno fest garnering critical praise, is at the Toronto Film Festival with her tonally different follow-up, “I Told You So.”
The movie features a group made up mostly of women who are having a mental meltdown amid an unprecedented January heat wave in Rome. As the heat rises, so do the characters’ obsessions with sex, food, drugs, alcohol, and religion. The eclectic ensemble film, which was conceived by Elkann and her co-writers during the pandemic, features a star studded cast comprising Danny Huston – speaking perfect Italian on screen – as a heroin-addicted Italian-American priest. Then there is Valeria Golino as a past-her-prime porn star named Pupa; Valeria Bruni Tedeschi as a psychopathic mother who happens to be obsessed with Pupa; and Alba Rohrwacher as an alcoholic artist who loses custody of her son to her heartbroken ex played by Riccardo Scamarcio.

As many recent storylines of movies and TV shows explore the concept of the “multiverse”, a new exclusive clip from the Hulu original sci-fi comedy, Solar Opposites, explores what is called “the stockiverse.” The stockiverse is revealed to be a universe in which people get placed into a universe of stock photos. Korvo accidentally traps Jesse in the stockiverse and must enter the posed-photo world to retrieve her.
The official synopsis for the Hulu original reads,
A team of four aliens escape their exploding home world only to crash land into a move-in ready home in suburban America. They are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome. Korvo and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) only see the pollution, crass consumerism, and human frailty while Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Jesse (Mary Mack) love humans and all their TV, junk food and fun stuff. Their mission: protect the Pupa, a living super...

Losing a lead actor is a nightmare scenario for any series, especially when the circumstances are as fraught and the voice work is as recognizable as Justin Roiland’s. Season four of Solar Opposites opens with Korvo getting shot in the throat by a voice-changing ray. It’s initially jarring to hear the stumbling, extremely Roiland-esque narration read by Dan Stevens, but the actor’s plummy English tones are actually a perfect fit for the uptight alien. And while a “voice-changing ray” might sound like a laughably perfunctory solution to the problem, it’s likewise a perfect fit for a show that never takes itself too seriously.
The new season begins with Korvo suggesting that his family rein in their zany antics to prevent their young Pupa (Sagan McMahan) from going berserk again. With this in mind, Korvo and Terry (Thomas Middelditch)—the parental figures in this odd alien household...

Hulu has released the official Solar Opposites season 4 trailer. The animated sci-fi comedy was created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan, and if I’m being honest with myself… I might love it more than Rick and Morty.
You might have noticed that Korvo is sounding a little different in the Solar Opposites season 4 trailer, and that’s because Hulu replaced previous voice actor Justin Roiland with Dan Stevens. The streaming service axed Roiland after he had been charged with felony domestic abuse, but those charges were dismissed in March. “This case was dismissed as a result of insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt,” said Orange County District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Kimberly Edds.
Justin Roiland took to social media to comment on the charges against him being dismissed. “I have always known that these claims were false — and I never had any doubt that this day would come,...

Hulu loves those Solar Opposites. The streaming service announced at a panel during New York Comic-Con that season 5 of Solar Opposites is on the way as they have renewed the adult animated comedy series.
Hulu already renewed the series for a fourth season last year. Solar Opposites was created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan and centers around a group of aliens who crash land in suburban America after fleeing their exploding home-world. In between adjusting to life on Earth, Korvo (Justin Roiland), Terry (Thomas Middleditch), Jesse (Mary Mack), and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) must protect Pupa, a living super-computer who will one day evolve into its true form and terraform the Earth. The third season of the series wrapped up earlier this summer, but the series recently got spooky with A Sinister Halloween Scary Opposites Solar Special, which launched on Hulu on October 3rd.

As the spooky season quickly approaches, the Solar Opposites are looking to put their spin on the holiday of Halloween like countless television shows before them. Hulu has released a trailer for the first Solar Opposites Halloween Special, which you can check out above! Filled to the brim with the show’s offbeat humour and dark sci-fi magic (as well as an appearance from the Crypt Keeper), the trailer looks like a ghostly good time.

"Rick and Morty" co-creator Justin Roiland has had an extremely busy past couple of years. In addition to his duties writing and voicing his Emmy award-winning series for Adult Swim, he and co-creator Mike McMahan have also brought to life the alien-centric animated comedy "Solar Opposites," which just celebrated the release of its third season.
The series follows a group of aliens who escape their exploding home planet by crash landing into a move-in ready suburban American home. What started out as a show about aliens with different views on whether or not Earth is terrific or terrible has since turned into a one way ticket to Banana Town, with Korvo (Justin Roiland), Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone), Terry (Thomas Middleditch), Jesse (Mary Mack), and Pupa (Liam Cunningham) diverting into more and more chaotic adventures with every season.
