''Something Beautiful' is my dream project come true — fashion, film, and original music coexisting in harmony,' Cyrus said in a press statement. 'My co-creators are all geniuses in their own right: from the masters of sound, Shawn Everett and Alan Meyerson, to one of cinema's most unique directors, Panos Cosmatos serving as a producer. Each collaborator has used their expertise to make this fantasy a reality.'
'Something Beautiful' will have its world premiere June 6 at the Tribeca Festival. The film follows the trend of visual albums with feature accompaniments: The Weeknd recently debuted 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' starring Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan to coincide with his album as well.
As for the 'Something Beautiful' team, producer Cosmatos has his own feature in the works starring another first-time female director, Kristen Stewart, whose 'The Chronology of Water' wowed at Cannes. Stewart will star alongside Oscar Isaac in Cosmatos' '80s-set vampire rave drama 'Flesh of the Gods,' written by 'Se7en' screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker. The film centers on married couple Raoul (Isaac) and Alex (Stewart) who descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm of '80s Los Angeles, per the official synopsis. When they cross paths with a mysterious and enigmatic woman and her hard-partying cabal, Raoul and Alex are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills, and violence. 'Flesh of the Gods' will be the fourth collaboration between Cosmatos and XYZ, including 'Something Beautiful.'
'Something Beautiful' will be released in theaters for one night only on June 12 from Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision. Check out the trailer below.

Miley Cyrus Is Facing Backlash For Seemingly Ignoring A Fan During Her Album Signing
Miley Cyrus is facing criticism for appearing to ignore a fan during a recent album signing event. The singer released her ninth album, Something Beautiful, in May, and on Saturday, she attended an album signing in London, where she was joined by friend and collaborator Naomi Campbell. In videos shared online, Miley can be seen sitting at a table talking to Naomi when a fan approached to take a photo and get their vinyl signed. Miley flashed a quick smile at the fan before turning to continue her conversation as the fan stood there awkwardly, seemingly trying to get her attention. When the photographer announced it was time to take a photo, Miley finally looked away and told the fan that it was nice to meet them. But once they snapped the picture, she and Naomi immediately jumped back into conversation, and the fan quietly walked away.

Taking to Reddit, one viewer said, "Wow! That's so inconsiderate & rude IMO."

"She's not even acknowledging the fans even though it's clearly a sign + photo op. Not looking at the camera when the photographer is counting down and not even looking at the fans. Just tossing the vinyls to the side." A third stated, "I don't even fuck with celebs like that but I'd be so disappointed if I waited in line for someone I was excited for just to be straight up dismissed and ignored. I understand celebs can't be considerate of every fan that comes their way, but at a signing? Consider how you're making someone feel when you do something like that. That goes for everyone, not just celebs." Others agreed that Miley's behavior was "so inconsiderate and dismissive." "You can see the disappointment in the fans' faces when they realize she's not paying them any attention," one person observed as someone else wrote, "poor girl she wanted to say something to miley :((" So far, Miley hasn't publicly reacted to the moment, but many came to her defense, with some sharing positive interactions with her during the album signing. One fan called it the "best day of my life" while another praised Miley for "being so kind" and nice. You can watch the moment here, and then share your thoughts in the comments.

Ezra Miller Considering Hollywood Return 'On Tentative Grounds' After Cannes
Before Ezra Miller was spotted bolting down the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival last month, they had largely remained out of the public eye for the past two years following a series of arrests. The actor recently said they've considered returning to Hollywood 'on tentative grounds' after friend Lynne Ramsay 'asked me to come' to Cannes in support of the world premiere of her film Die My Love. More from Deadline Ezra Miller Harassment Order Expires In Massachusetts; 'Flash' Star Says They Were 'Unjustly And Directly Targeted' 'Die, My Love', Mubi's Big $24 Million Cannes Buy, Lands Fall Release Date 'A Magnificent Life' Review: Director Sylvain Chomet Brings French Icon's Life To Visual Glory In Biopic Toon That Plays It Safe - Annecy Animation Film Festival 'I came to Cannes to support one of my closest friends in the world, who is Lynne Ramsay—who I think is one of the greatest living filmmakers,' they told Italian outlet Lo Speciale Giornale. 'I'm working with her again, that will likely be the first thing I do, is a film that her and I are writing together.' Miller added, 'I've been writing a lot, because you can do that in solitude, which has been friendly to me.' The Fantastic Beasts actor said Cannes was a 'tough re-entry point' after they were the subject of several incidents going back to 2020, including assault, harassment, burglary and the alleged grooming of an 18-year-old. 'Not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things I did and a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss,' added Miller.I After a temporary harassment order was lifted against Miller by a Massachusetts court following allegations that they behaved inappropriately around her 12-year old child, the actor told Deadline they were 'very grateful' for the order, claiming that the woman was 'seeking attention or fleeting tabloid fame or some sort of personal vengeance.' 'I have been unjustly and directly targeted by an individual who the facts have shown has a history of such manipulative and destructive action,' added Miller in June 2023.
