The group is in the beginning of this one and then Elizabeth’s interview is at 5:50.
Sudeikis plays Matt, a son who hasn’t spoken to his photographer father (Harris) in over a decade, until Zoe (Olsen) shows up on his doorstep asking him to drive his father to Dwayne’s Photo in Parsons, Kansas, the only place in the world that still develops Kodachrome film (this is true, and it has a wonderfully retro website complete with a t-shirt for purchase).
“He’s dying,” Zoe tells him, but Matt has his own problems. He’s a struggling A&R executive at Spitting Devil Records who will lose his job unless he manages to poach a big band from Sony. The two storylines come together, according to Billboard, when Matt realizes the band he’s after is touring along the very route he, his father, and Zoe must take to Kansas. What ensues is your classic road trip story with an excellent soundtrack.
Through the trip, the father and son grapple with their broken relationship, while Matt and Zoe are on the brink of a new one. In the end, it’s a story about life, and the different ways we choose to treasure it.
“Take pictures, they stop time,” Ben (Harris) says. “Commit moments to eternity.”
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and will arrive on Netflix on April 20. You can watch the full trailer for Kodachrome below:

The iconic actresses celebrate female empowerment and friendship with an epic dance off.
H&M – It’s finally here! Shot in Buenos Aires, Argentina, H&M’s Spring fashion campaign film sees actress Elizabeth Olsen dance out from a local café and into the streets. There, she’s joined by a cast of strong women – including top models Imaan Hammam, Andreea Diaconu and Anna Ewers – all wearing flowing dresses, wide-leg trousers, embroidered jeans and sophisticated blouses while dancing through the city.
“It was such a thrill to be in Buenos Aires for the H&M Spring campaign, and more importantly, to be surrounded by such a wonderful cast of strong women. The entire experience was incredibly inspiring,” says Elizabeth Olsen.
After dancing through Buenos Aires, Elizabeth Olsen inevitably finds her way back to the café, where she’s joined by one of Hollywood’s most iconic actresses.
“I loved the way that the campaign really celebrated women in a very authentic way. I found that to be really refreshing and much needed right now in this culture. They are celebrating themselves and each other,” says Winona Ryder.

CNN – Marvel’s Avengers have taken on aliens, robots and even each other. If the latest trailer for the Disney studio’s new superhero movie is any indication of what’s next, they are about to take on their greatest foe yet: Thanos.
The imposing (and quite purple) space villain flexes his muscles in film’s new trailer, which premiered on Friday morning. The preview includes your standard Marvel comic book action mixed with comedy, but Thanos’ looming presence sets the scene what what appears to be a major battle on the horizon.
“The entire time I knew him he only ever had one goal: To wipe out half the universe,” Zoe Saldana’s Gamora is heard saying in the trailer. “If gets all the Infinity Stones, he can do it with the snap of his fingers. Just like that.”
“Tell me his name again,” Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man asks.
Gamora responds in a whisper, “Thanos.”
The two-minute trailer, which has racked up close to a million views on YouTube in less than three hours, features nearly every hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which includes the crew in “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Doctor Strange, played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
A bearded Captain America is seen taking on Thanos in hand-to-hand combat, Spider-Man is swinging through debris, and Thor finds his head nearly being crushed by the villain. The glimpses of our heroes in peril led some fans online to fear that some Marvel characters may not make it out of alive.
Marvel Studios’ latest hero, Black Panther, played by Chadwick Boseman, is featured prominently in the new trailer.
“Black Panther” has been one of Marvel’s biggest and most critically acclaimed hits since it opened last month. The film, which is the first Marvel project directed by an African-American, broke records on its opening weekend at the box office and has made more than $1.1 billion worldwide.
“Avengers: Infinity War” looks to be the one of the biggest films Marvel has ever produced, which is saying something since the brand has had 18 straight number one openings and has grossed more than $14.5 billion globally.
“Avengers: Infinity War” hits theaters on April 27..
INDEPENDENT – While the annual Oscars ‘class photo’ may have stolen headlines earlier this week, Marvel Studios has decided to release their own star-studded photo, featuring 80 actors and filmmakers from their multiple movies.
Meeting for the secret shoot on the 7 October last year during the filming of Avengers: Infinity War to celebrate 10 years since Iron Man, the photo features Robert Downey Jr. and studio head Kevin Feige front-and-centre.
Other notable names include the three Chrises (Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt), and Avengers actors Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Mackie, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Paul Rudd, Tom Holland, Don Cheadle, Sebastian Stan, and Jeremy Renner.
Future Avengers members Benedict Cumberbatch, Chadwick Boseman, and Brie Larson also appear, as do the Guardians of the Galaxy actors Sean Gunn, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, Michael Rooker, Vin Diesel, and Kurt Russell.
I missed this event last week so I’m catching up!

USA TODAY — If you need an Instagram-worthy brunch snap, probably don’t pass your smartphone to Martha Stewart.
“She’s the worst food photographer in the whole world — she makes Jean-Georges food look like dog food,” jokes Elizabeth Olsen, who admits her own nosh photos are similarly unappetizing. “My life revolves around prepping dinner for my family or friends, and making my breakfast look nice, but (my pictures) always look bad. It’s like Martha.”
Fortunately, Olsen’s foray into food photography was only to research her role as an enviable Instagram “influencer” in dark comedy Ingrid Goes West (in theaters Friday in New York and Los Angeles, expands nationwide Aug. 25), one of two films she stars in this month, the other being Taylor Sheridan’s chilly murder mystery Wind River (now showing in New York and Los Angeles; expands to 17 cities Friday, including San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia).
In the latter, Olsen, 28, co-stars with her Avengers castmate Jeremy Renner as Jane Banner, a rookie FBI agent assigned to investigate the rape and death of a young Native American woman on Wyoming’s Wind River Indian Reservation.
Signing on,she hoped to shed light on female sexual assault, particularly in the Native American community, where missing women often go unreported. The actress also wanted “to play someone with the confidence and fortitude of Jane,” Olsen says. “She’s not jaded yet and emotionally invests in trying to find out what happened.”
The Olsen twins’ younger sister was timorous about a winter shoot in the Utah wilderness, but wound up having “the best time,” she says, learning to snowmobile and training in both martial arts and gun work.
The frosty conditions only sweetened her return to Los Angeles a few months later, when she slipped into the boho-chic garb of Ingrid’s Taylor Sloane, who becomes the social-media obsession and narcissistic BFF of Aubrey Plaza’s stalkerish title character.
