Sony Pictures Entertainment dropped a new clip for Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City on Friday, and it showcases more of Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield.
The clip starts off with Redfield inside a house staring at a balding woman rubbing her bloody fingers along a glass door and then another door shutting on its own.
“Hello?” Redfield says as she walks through the spooky house.
Something crawls under a table. When she goes to look she finds a young child.
“Hey,” she asks. “You need help?”
“You need help,” the kid says, and things get crazier from there. You can see the clip above.

Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City is a video game-true telling of the first two Resident Evil games. It’s directed by Johannes Roberts and everything we’ve seen so far matches up fairly closely with the games. In an interview with EW, Roberts said what made this version interesting for him was being faithful to the source material. The older movies with Milla Jovovich, he said, were “never really about the games.”
“I’m a horror guy. I’m a Stephen King guy. I’m a John Carpenter guy. All those things are sort of built into the fabric of this movie,” he explains. “I was just like, ‘Let’s make a scary movie again.’”
What really set the ball in motion was Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil 2 in 2019, the filmmaker said.
“I remember playing that second game and going, ‘This is the movie. This is it,’” Roberts said. “It just blew me away completely. The aesthetics of it, the tone, the mood. I was like, ‘This is the cornerstone of what we’re going to do.’”
He also said it’s important that he stick to the subject matter and lay down a good base for potential sequels.
“I think [Welcome to Raccoon City] sets everything up really well, an origin story for each of our characters,” he said. “I think it would be really important to me that we don’t just use this as a springboard to then just go off into our own crazy world. I think there’s so much in the games that is so fascinating and exciting that I would really love to continue to explore that.”

If you’re an aspiring influencer or are just very active on social media, then more than likely you already have a TikTok. Even if you don’t, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard your friends or family talk about it. They’ve probably even tried to persuade you to join them in a video to try out a new dance routine or come up with a comedy skit.
Regardless of how you first heard about it, there’s no denying that TikTok is talked about more nowadays than Facebook, and thanks to the app’s popularity, it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere anytime soon.
Just like its social media predecessors, TikTok started as a fun way for teenagers to post 15-second videos that usually involved comedy skits and dance routines. Over the past few years, however, the platform has grown to include users of all ages and has turned into a social marketing tool with a reach in the millions. Thanks to that, many TikTok stars have reached levels of fame and financial stability that have prompted entrepreneurs and aspiring artists to hop on the bandwagon in the hopes of achieving similar results.
The users who are creating content on TikTok are luckily seeing lots of views and are easily going viral overnight, opening the door for many of them to monetize their channels in various ways. Naturally, this has put everyone in a frenzy to stake their claim on this new gold mine and make some money.
Alas, as with everything in life, not every marketing strategy that you use is guaranteed to make money on the platform, and for some people it could take years of tinkering to find the best way to monetize your space. Of course, if you’re interested in figuring out how to monetize your account, there are plenty of “influencer gurus” out there who are eager to help the next generation of TikTokers reach their financial goals.
One such guru is Elise Darma, a content marketer who offers resources on how to grow your business on various platforms like Instagram and YouTube. If you’re a content creator looking to make some money on TikTok, Darma currently runs a website and a YouTube channel that offers classes to help you reach your monetization goals. So far, she’s pinpointed six different ways that you can make money on the platform.
1. Growing accounts and selling them
According to Darma, the first way people are making money on TikTok is by growing accounts and then selling them. Basically, you start by choosing a niche that you’re interested in and creating entertaining content that will ideally go viral and attract a following, which then ideally translates into customers for your product. Even if you don’t have anything to sell, using this practice will help you reach out to brands in your niche’s industry, and if you can sell your TikTok profile to them, there’s a good chance that you can make some money that way.
You could also sell your products on TikTok Live. Simply put, you can launch and/or sell products while you’re live streaming and even hold an auction. This practice is perfect for creators who just want to grow a following around a certain topic and build a community while providing the potential to sell that account to brands looking to reach your established following.
2. Donations
Donations are another great way to monetize your channel. Just like Twitch, you can also go live and collect donations from viewers. In terms of monetization, the format will usually go as follows: TikTok users can go into your profile and purchase something called coins. For the low price of $1.39, you usually get about a hundred coins. When a creator goes live, their followers can actually send them coins as a way of giving thanks for all of their hard work in creating the content. A creator can then take that coin and turn it into a diamond, which can then be converted into cash via PayPal.
3. Manage influencer campaigns

Just like Instagram, managing a campaign for an influencer can be just lucrative as having a channel of your own. In this situation, you’re basically the middleman or broker between a TikTok creator and a brand who wants to work with them. Just for being a coordinator, you can charge a decent service fee to manage these campaigns. If you build your resume up enough to manage multiple campaigns, then eventually all of those service fees are going to add up to a reasonable income that you can add to your wallet.
4. TikTok’s ad platform
The other way you can make money on TikTok is by making use of its ad platform. Similar to Facebook and Instagram ads, you’re basically running paid traffic to attract followers to your channel, which will hopefully lead them to purchase products from your business. Keep in mind that like any other advertising campaigns on TikTok, this will require money to launch, so you may want to create a large enough budget first to allow for flexibility when you’re experimenting with this to find what will work for you.
5. Management services
Another way to make money on TikTok is by offering management services to creators on the app. Though it may not seem like it as you view them from the other side of the camera, there are some creators on TikTok who gain millions of followers very quickly and are overwhelmed when they seemingly become business owners overnight.
This is a good time to step in and offer your services to help them with their content and creative strategies while also managing the offers and deals that come their way. If you have any experience in management, marketing, or both, management services is certainly a worthwhile endeavor to think about if you’re trying to make some money on TikTok.
6. Consulting
Once you become a pro at using TikTok and fully understand how to turn a video with a hundred views into a viral hit with 100,000 views, then you can start offering consulting services. This method is all about site authority. You’re basically leveraging your expertise on the platform to help people who want to be TikTok famous by providing strategies that will get their videos seen by millions of people. This is why it’s absolutely necessary to have the background and experience required to be truly knowledgeable before offering this as a service in the first place.
Once you prove your worth, consulting a TikTok creator can be one of the easiest ways to get paid reasonably well. If you help users procure deals and influence agreements, you can even negotiate a percentage or a cut of that deal just for being the consultant and helping them go viral on TikTok.

The final trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s latest movie, Nightmare Alley, has arrived. Considering that the Mexican auteur’s last directorial effort was 2017’s The Shape of Water, which notably — and controversially — won the Best Picture gong at the Academy Awards that year, the hype is high for this one. Especially as it’s such a stark departure for the filmmaker. Despite being known for his horror and fantasy films, Nightmare Alley is a neo-noir psychological thriller with no supernatural elements. Catch the trailer above.
Like the best trailers, this one emphasizes the tone and style of the film, as well as the talent of its cast, over revealing too many plot details. In fact, you could easily come away from this promo without any real idea of what the movie’s about. So here’s the official one-sentence synopsis: “Stan Carlisle (Bradley Cooper), an ambitious carny with a talent for manipulating people with a few well-chosen words, hooks up with Dr. Lilith Ritter (Cate Blanchett), a psychiatrist who is even more dangerous than he is.”

The trailer gives us a taste of just how good Carlisle is at manipulating people, as we see him successfully hoodwink a lie-detector test by claiming to be a genuine psychic who can read the minds of others. Clips interpreted throughout showcase how Carlisle uses his “gifts” to earn himself great notoriety and success. However, by the looks of things, he’s destined for a major fall from grace.
Nightmare Alley is based on the 1946 novel by William Lindsay Gresham. Though the book was previously brought to the screen in the acclaimed 1947 movie of the same name starring Tyrone Power, del Toro has touted his version as a closer adaptation of the novel and less of a remake of the earlier film. Alongside Cooper and Blanchett, it features a supporting cast that only del Toro could bring together, including Rooney Mara, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins and Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman.
Don’t miss Nightmare Alleyexclusively in theaters from this Dec. 17.
Fans were already hyped for it beforehand, but the first Spider-Man: No Way Hometrailer that landed back in August properly cemented the upcoming threequel as the most highly anticipated Marvel movie of the year. Thanks to its reveal of Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock but also promises of much else besides, fans were immediately desperate to see more, with the call for a second trailer raging on ever since. Well, friends, the wait is now finally over. Check out the new trailer for No Way Home above.
Following on from Peter Parker’s secret identity being revealed to the world at the end of Far From Home, Tom Holland’s high school hero is missing his old anonymous life when No Way Home begins, which leads him to the doorstep of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange. Together, they attempt a spell to erase Peter’s secret from the world but instead, they unbalance reality, causing some of the most dangerous villains from across the multiverse to descend on New York.
New Spider-Man No Way Home Stills
This cross-dimensional Sinister Six includes Molina’s Otto Octavius, Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, and Jamie Foxx’s Electro, who’s set to look much different from his debut appearance in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. While Molina and Dafoe’s foes were nailed the first time around, No Way Home is a chance for Foxx to be given better material as Electro so we really can’t wait to see him in action.
But, obviously, the comeback that fans have been really waiting for is the return of both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, suiting up again as their versions of the webhead to team up alongside Holland. The union of three incarnations of Spider-Man, traditionally Marvel’s most beloved hero, would be an event on the scale of Avengers: Endgame. Unfortunately, this didn’t happen in this trailer despite it being extremely expected by fans.
Spider-Man: No Way Homeis going to be a seriously big deal when it finally hits theaters on December 17.
Let us know how blown away you are by this trailer in the comments.
South Korean actor Oh Yeong-su has been practicing his craft since the late 1960s. He worked his way up through theater and eventually appeared in TV and films. The 77-year-old actor has played a lot of monks, but he became world-famous in the past few months after playing an old man in Squid Game, Netflix’s most popular show ever.
Yeong-su also still keeps himself in pretty good shape, as evidenced by his recent appearance at the 2021 KBO Korean Series baseball game.
The slim actor, who plays participant #1 in the show, shows off impressive form as he fires off the opening pitch in the game. Take a look below.
Yeong-su kicks his leg up higher than a Rockette, pauses, and fires one off to home base. Pretty impressive for a guy who peed himself on TV.
Here are some additional angles.
Squid Game was watched by more than 142 million households across the world, and it made Yeong-su a household name. He recently spoke with ET Canada about how the show changed his life, and what he plans to do next.
One of the more interesting things we learn about the down-to-earth star is that he doesn’t even have a manager. His daughter has been handling most of the calls and offers that are now coming his way.
I feel like I’m floating on air. It makes me think, ‘I need to calm down, organize my thoughts, and hold myself back right now. So many people have been contacting me, and because I don’t have a manager to help me, it’s hard for me to handle the volume of calls and messages I’ve been receiving. So my daughter has been helping me. Things have changed quite a bit. Even when I go out to a café or somewhere like that, I now have to be aware of [how I appear to others]. It’s made me think, ‘Being famous is tough, too.’ I don’t have any grand ambitions. Big or small, I’ve received a lot of things while living my life. Now, I want to leave behind those things that I’ve received.
Snapchat launched on September 16, 2011. Since kick-starting the mobile-first era for social networks, it’s established itself as one of the world’s most popular photo-sharing and instant messaging apps.
Although seven years younger than Facebook, the two apps have some interesting parallels. Facebook began in the halls of Harvard and Snapchat started life in the study areas of Stanford.
In his first blog post for the company, co-founder Evan Spiegel explained the app’s origins. When he and fellow student Bobby Murphy first looked at mobile photo-sharing in April 2011, they noticed that apps were focused on enhancing images and not sharing. Over the summer, they developed an app that put sharing front and center under the name of Picaboo. It wasn’t until they changed its name to Snapchat that it began to catch on. By the end of 2012, the app had hit one million daily users. As of spring 2021, it was supporting nearly 530 million.
The comparison with Facebook doesn’t stop with the app’s university beginnings. They both encountered similar ownership disputes too. The disappearing images Snapchat’s famous for and its familiar ghost logo were both the idea of Reggie Brown, a fellow Stanford student. He helped Spiegel and Murphy develop the app in the summer of 2011. A disagreement over ownership led Spiegel and Murphy to lock Brown out of the app before launch. The pair would later settle with Brown for $158 million after a lawsuit.
Facebook tried to beat Snapchat at its own game when it launched Poke in 2012, although that closed less than two years later. Having seen off that challenge and overcome a data breach that saw 4 million accounts compromised, Snapchat’s founders turned down a $3 billion buyout from Facebook in 2013.
Snapchat remains most famous for its disappearing photos, just one area where the app has combined controversy with innovation. The app pioneered its Stories feature in 2013, which has now been duplicated as far as Instagram and LinkedIn. Other features haven’t proved so successful. The app removed its photo speed filter in summer 2021 after it was linked to multiple automobile accidents.
Snapchat is just one technology owned and maintained by Snap Inc., which rebranded from Snapchat Inc. in 2016 to reflect its broader portfolio. Snap Inc. also owns Spectacles and Bitmoji.
On March 2, 2017, Snap Inc. started trading on the New York Stock Exchange when the market was eager for new technology Initial Public Offerings. At the end of its first day, shares closed 44 percent up. In 2020, the company reported revenue of $2.506 billion, and Snapchat’s market capitalization currently stands at $88.764 billion.
The company employs just under 4,000 employees and is based in Santa Monica, California. But despite its massive growth in the past decade, its ownership has remained stable. Snapchat’s Co-founders have been careful to retain control of their company. Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy retain the majority share of Snap Inc, with a combined voting power of 95.8%.
I got $97450 up to now this year working on the online and I’m a full time student. I’AM profited. It’s really simple to know and I’m in order that cheerful that I got jkmn some answers regarding it. Here what I do…………….. http://www.earncash1.com
It’s Disney+ Day and we’ve gotten more announcements for movies than you could shake a lightsaber at. Whether you wanted great family-friendly content from The Proud Family reboot or wanted something aimed at older audiences like the new Marvel Zombies series, it seems like everyone got something they wanted.
However, no one seemed ready to see the announcement of the new Disney+ original film Sneakerella that will be coming to the platform in February. A modern take on the classic fairytale, Sneakerella stars Lexi Underwood, Kolton Stewart, Chosen Jacobs, and more. You can check out the trailer above.
A lot of people are already absolutely baffled by the announcement, with some thinking it almost looks like a parody film of some kind on social media.
Some viewers were just angry the movie was announced over other major franchises fans of Disney were looking forward to.
Others were more upset that the shoes don’t even look all that good.
The worst thing about that Sneakerella trailer is the shoes aint even hard
Prepare to return to the Ice Age! Disney kicked off their Disney Plus celebrations in style this Friday morning with an announcement that a relaunch of one of 20th Century Fox’s most beloved animated franchises is returning in just a couple of months with a new installment. Catch a glimpse at all your favorite characters back in action in the first trailer for The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, which promises to stream on Disney Plus in January, via the tweet below:
As the first new entry in the franchise since 2016’s Ice Age: Collision Course, Buck Wild promises to return to the setting of 2009’s third movie, Ice Age: Dawn of Dinosaurs. As the trailer teases, mischief-making possum brothers Crash (Seann William Scott) and Eddie (Josh Peck) will accidentally return to the Dinosaur World and reunite with old ally, the courageous yet eccentric one-eyed weasel Buck Wild (Simon Pegg). Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Denis Weary also look to be returning as Manny, Sid and Diego.
This movie was originally announced to be on the way at last December’s Investors Day event, but fans would be forgiven for forgetting about it as the studio has been keeping a lid on this one ever since. Now we know that’s because they wanted to surprise us all with this trailer and the news that it’s arrival is just around the corner. Get ready to catch The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild when it premieres on January 28, 2022.
In the meantime, there’s plenty more where that came from this Disney Plus Day, as many more announcements are set to follow, including about the most-anticipated releases from Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar. Pay attention to the D+ social media platforms and the service itself, which will be hosting some panels later today, for more.

VOIR, a new documentary series from Netflix, will be celebrating cinema with a series of visual essays next month.
Discussing the impacts of film’s most powerful images, we hear a variety of voices in the trailer speaking about how those moments impacted their film viewings while a montage of classic movie clips are reflected in a looming eyeball.
We see classic scenes flash by on the screen from films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Godfather Part II, In The Heat of the Night, and Amadeus. The docuseries is sure to be a delight for cinephiles everywhere.
The series is executive produced by Fight Club director David Fincher and The Empty Man director David Prior. VOIR will explore the personal connections we have to the stories we see on the big screen, ranging from intimate personal histories to insights on character and craft and exploring why cinema holds a special place in our lives, according to Netflix’s synopsis.
“Film lovers examine the cinematic moments that thrilled, perplexed, challenged, and forever changed them in this collection of visual essays,” the description went on to say.
By now, Fincher is something of a household name in terms of heavy-hitting Hollywood directors. Though he made a rocky feature-length directorial debut with the critically-derided Alien 3 after previously helming a number of short films and music videos, Fincher has since established himself as one of the most seminal directors of his generation, bringing us a number of cherished films including 2010’s The Social Network, 1995’s Se7en, 2007’s Zodiac, and 2020’s Mank, among many other critically hailed films.
Prior is a lesser-known director, but his 2020 supernatural thriller The Empty Man has garnered a cult following after a lackluster box office and critical reception. It has since been regarded as underrated by some critics upon its home media release.
TheVOIR docuseries is set for release onNetflixDec. 6.
