ScreenRant is proud to present a first look at a still that gathers most of them in one shot prior to the film's New York premiere on May 3. Deliciously sharp and full of outside-the-box thinking, Micro Budget hails from the minds of director Morgan Evans (MTV’s Bugging Out) and was co-written by him and Patrick Noth (Late Night with Seth Meyers).

The story cleverly pokes fun at the DIY nature of the indie film industry while also paying homage to the art form that so many love, creating with passion even amidst insurmountable obstacles. Noth plays Terry, a delusionally confident filmmaker who hopes to make a project on a shoestring budget and then sell it for millions. He is joined by Brandon Micheal Hall, Nichole Sakura,...

Warning: Spoilers for Little Batman: Month One #1!The new Little Batman franchise expands with a perfect follow-up to a new Christmas staple. Last year, Merry Little Batman premiered on Amazon Prime as a Christmastime, kid-friendly special for the whole family. It's the holiday movie Batman fans didn't know they needed, but has already been viewed as a must-see for every holiday season.

The special was positively received enough to warrant a sequel in comic book form, Little Batman: Month One #1 by Morgan Evans, Jon Mikel, and Ian Herring. Recreating the same magic that went into such a beloved movie is hard enough, but doing so in an entirely different medium presents a new kind of challenge for the creative team. Thankfully, the creative team eagerly rises to the occasion.

Christmas arrives early at Gotham with a confirmed December release of the DC animation adventure Merry Little Batman.

Batman fans eagerly anticipating the release of Merry Little Batman are in for an early Christmas treat. Prime Video announced via X (formerly Twitter) that the animated film premieres on Dec. 8. The update came with a description that might surprise franchise fans, saying "This holiday season, join Batman, Alfred Pennyworth, and young Damian Wayne in an epic adventure to save Christmas in Gotham City." An earlier tease of the movie's plot suggested Damian Wayne fending off crooks and supervillains alone in Wayne Manor on Christmas Eve. This leaves the X post open for interpretation as to the extent of Batman and Alfred's involvement in the adventure.

The “This Feeling” singer and Outer Banks actor first sparked dating rumors in January this year after they were seen at the College Football Playoff National Championship in Los Angeles together.

The following month, Ballerini confirmed those rumors after she asked if she was single, to which she answered, “No.” She then proceeded to provide details on how she approached Stokes via Instagram Dm.

Although their relationship had already been confirmed,...

Kelsea Ballerini celebrated her 30th birthday Tuesday, Sept. 12, with a debut performance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, delivering a stripped-down rendition of ‘Penthouse’ off Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good).

The country star serenaded the audience from the VMAs’ outdoor stage with a moving performance backed by a pianist and full string section. Standing in a flowing white gown, Ballerini effortlessly ran through the emotional song while the audience sang every word back to her. Ahead of the bridge, the Tennessee native paused to switch into a black mini dress.

Kelsea Ballerini and boyfriend Chase Stokes made a major splash at the MTV VMAs on Sept. 12. The pair walked the red carpet together on Tuesday night in matching red outfits and stopped to kiss and pose together for the cameras. Ballerini is scheduled to perform during the award show, while Stokes, who stars on "Outer Banks," was there as her very supportive plus-one. During the preshow, Ballerini spoke to host Kevan Kenney and dropped some major news: it's also her 30th birthday.

Talking to Kenney together, Ballerini said it was her idea for both of them to wear red, though Stokes hinted there was a "long story" behind their twinning moment. Ballerini added that he got her a "really personal and really sweet" birthday present.

The dating scene can be daunting after a divorce, even for a country superstar like Kelsea Ballerini.

The 29-year-old “Miss Me More” singer on Saturday posted a TikTok video she filmed about six months ago and ahead of her first date with Outer Banks star Chase Stokes. Kelsea shared in her caption that the video is what she sent to her best friend before meeting up for sushi with the 30-year-old actor.

The video, set to her track “How Do I Do This,” is pretty adorable, given Kelsea’s dressed to the nines and looks super excited about her big night. But she’s also nervous! And that much is evident by how she hypes herself up for the big date.

After a quick twirl and showing off her look, Kelsea tells her best friend she’ll call the next day to offer “the full update.” Then comes the pep talk.

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes didn’t think twice about going public with their romance!

In a new interview with Stylecaster, the “Blindsided” singer shared why she and her man aren’t shy about putting their love on display.

“The thing that we’ve decided, and to each their own, is when you’re with someone that you feel secure with and that you’re proud to be with, why not share it?” the 29-year-old tells the publication.

Ballerini and Stokes each confirmed their romance in March, and have kept the Ig Pda coming ever since. As their relationship has reached the six-month mark, Ballerini gushed about why things are going so well with the “Outer Banks” star.

“He’s also a Virgo; we’re both Labrador Retrievers in human form,” she adds. “It doesn’t take much conversation to be on the same page. It’s been half a...

Kelsea Ballerini is setting the record straight about rumours she and Chase Stokes have broken up.

The lovebirds only made their red carpet debut as a couple last month at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, but that didn’t stop one fan questioning whether they were still in a relationship.

During a recent Q&a session on Instagram, one social media user asked, “Did u and chase break up?” in a grab shared by Just Jared.

Ballerini replied, “Nah” along with a smiley face emoji and a cute snap of the pair kissing.

The post comes after Stokes was caught on camera singing along to Ballerini’s performance of her hit “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too)” at the CMT Music Awards.

The “Outer Banks” star clearly loved every minute, with him being seen dancing and singing along to every word.

Merry Little Batman is an animated family-oriented action comedy focusing on Damian Wayne as he discovers he’s alone in Wayne Manor on Christmas Eve. He takes the Home Alone-esque opportunity to become “Little Batman” and defend his home and Gotham City from crooks and villains planning to destroy the holidays.

Whereas “Batman: Caped Crusader” is a reimagining of Batman’s mythology in the same vein as “Batman: The Animated Series,” “Merry Little Batman” will be more of a comedic take on this superhero.

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes made their adorable red carpet debut! On Sunday, the “Window With a View” singer and the “Outer Banks” star arrived together at the 2023 CMT Awards — marking their first major public appearance as a couple.

Ballerini, who is co-hosting the ceremony alongside Kane Brown — wore a body-hugging corseted dress with pointed heels. It’s possible that this isn’t the only outfit the 29-year-old musician will wear this evening.

Ballerini and Stokes have been linked since January, and she later confirmed their romance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. A source told Et last month that “Kelsea is focusing on the good things in her life and her relationship with Chase” after her highly publicized split from Morgan Evans.

Accompanying the pic, he wrote “imy” — shorthand for “I miss you.

Kelsea Ballerini made her “Saturday Night Live” musical guest debut with what appeared to be a slight dig at ex Morgan Evans.

Ballerini, who performed the track, “Blindsided” from her new breakup album, Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, noticeably added some extra lyrics to the end of the song to seemingly take aim at Evans amid their ongoing divorce drama.

Following the final chorus, Ballerini looked straight into the camera, and sang, “Now you’re singing out loud on the radio/You couldn’t say it to my face/You would’ve searched the whole world over/Yeah, sure. Ok.”

She also performed her hit ballad, “Penthouse,” off the same album.

Ballerini’s scorching lyrics come after a bit of back-and-forth between the 29-year-old singer and her ex. Most recently, Evans opened up about the split in a five-part docuseries for his song, “Over for You.” The track, written about the divorce,...

The two moved in together within eight months of knowing each other and were engaged after nine. But now, as Ballerini explained in the Feb. 22 episode of "Call Her Daddy," she's 29 years old, freshly divorced after almost five years of marriage, and finally making decisions that make her the happiest.

And just months after that, the pair were ready to walk down the aisle, something Ballerini said she didn’t want to do.
