It's April 3rd, from Hollywood to your headphones. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News. Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the Story. A new A24 flick called the drama hits North American theaters this Friday, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a couple facing wedding drama. The big twist? The bride confesses she planned a school shooting back in her teen years, but never pulled it off. Glassback show her messing with her dad's rifle and filming a confessional, though no real violence plays out on screen. The marketing played it all wedding vibes, like fake engagement ads and papers, and a pop-up chapel in Vegas promising glamorous danger. Premiers had cakes, balloons, and rose setups, keeping the rom-com feel front and center without hinting at the dark plot. Gun violence survivors and groups like March for Our Lives are calling foul, saying it humanizes shooters and treats real trauma like a gimmick for. Bluffs. A park-lin alum and the shooting survivor from every town slammed the misleading promo

in Plot Hook, arguing Hollywood should lift up victims, not perpetrators. Critics are digging it, though, with an 81% on Rotten Tomato so far. Online, reactions split hard. Someone has skipped a shock value out of respect for survivors. Others defended as bold art than mirrors are messed up. Normal? As the movie drops, expect more debate on whether this sparks real talk or just exploits pain, leaving it up to audiences to laugh, cry, or walk out.
