Meet Alisha Weir, The 14-Year-Old Breakout Star Of Universal’s Vampire Flick ‘Abigail’

The idea of a zombie is pretty terrifying. Sure, no one wants to have a world overrun with dead people trying to bite you.

After 2017’s masterful War of the Planet of the Apes, which completed the trilogy that started with 2011’s Rise and 2014’s Dawn and told the epic story of wise leader Caesar and the apes who created this whole new world, I really thought there was nowhere else to go with this franchise that had itself started so brilliantly in 1968 with the original starring Charlton Heston as an astronaut who lands in this futuristic world dominated by intelligent apes. Many other iterations would come, even a side foray by Tim Burton, but it was that most recent trilogy (the first directed by Rupert Wyatt, the final two by Matt Reeves) that really popped. But being box office successes, 20th Century’s new owner Disney knew there was more to be mined, and they were right.

K.J. Yossman Jessica Henwick (“Glass Onion”) and Alisha Weir (“Abigail”) have been tapped for new animated feature “The Land of Sometimes.” They will join “Star Wars” icon Ewan McGregor and “The Crown” star Helena Bonham Carter on the project, which also features one of the final performances from the late “Monty Python” alum Terry Jones. The film, which is repped by Kaleidoscope Film Distribution for global sales, is set to be shown to buyers in Cannes next week with director Leon Joosen (“The Little Mermaid”) on hand to introduce the project.

Naman Ramachandran Universal’s “The Fall Guy” debuted atop the U.K. and Ireland box office with £3.5 million ($4.5 million), according to numbers from Comscore. But the force was strong with Disney’s 25th anniversary rerelease of “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,” as it debuted in second place with £1.1 million.

A Mississippi teenager was arrested in March on charges of murder and attempted murder after the death of her mother and injury of her stepfather.

empty barstool at Moe’s Tavern.Fox’s long-running sitcom “The Simpsons” killed off one of its familiar characters Sunday night — Larry the Barfly.Larry, who was often seated next to his friend Sam, was (a fictional) 42 years old.While casual fans might not know the balding man by name, Larry has had a spot at Moe’s since, at least, Season 1’s “Homer’s Odyssey” that aired back in January 1990 — more than 34 years ago.He appeared sporadically over the years, rarely saying a word.But in the Season 2 episode “Bart Gets Hit by a Car,” the drunk checks out Marge Simpson and shouts, “Who’s the chick?”Sunday night in the Season 35 episode “Cremains of the Day,” Larry died, and Homer, Moe and fellow bar regulars Lenny and Carl went on a road trip to scatter his ashes.As Larry was a background character only — with little known about him beyond his fondness for booze and incoherently muttering — the script references how vague his story is.Homer and Co., who realize that they hardly knew the guy, feel lousy when Larry’s mother tells them that he described the Moe’s gents as his “best friends,” and asked them to share some “fond memories.” They make up a bogus fishing tale.Longtime fans were shocked by the loss.“Just learned they are killing off Larry on The Simpsons tomorrow. I need a minute,” one posted on X.

the popular “The Beatles: Get Back.” The announcement of the rare film’s release will make fans twist and shout. Until now, the doc had only officially been sold on out-of-print — and grainy — VHS and laserdisc copies.Reviews of “Let It Be” weren’t euphoric at the time, but The Post enjoyed it.“The most remarkable thing about the picture is the way it sustains interest, so unexpectedly, throughout the long session and without all the written assists that customarily pep up entertainments of this sort,” Post critic Archer Winsten wrote in May 1970.Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, 83, said in a statement that the release was hampered by the Beatles’ recent split.“ ‘Let It Be’ was ready to go in October/November 1969, but it didn’t come out until April 1970,” he said.
