Millennials and Gen-Zers, say goodbye to the David Hasselhoff “SpongeBob” cameos of your childhood. According to the “Sponge on the Run” trailer, Keanu Reeves, or rather his floating head, will make an appearance in the upcoming film premiering May 22, 2020.
The latest film in the SpongeBob franchise follows the yellow sponged hero and his friend Patrick as they set off on the road in their search to find SpongeBob’s lost snail Gary.
“Call me Sage. I’m made of sage and I am a sage, so it works out pretty well,” Reeves says to the duo, to which the affable but not-so-smart companion responds by saying, “I’m Patrick, my name means ‘toaster’ in Celtic.”
Along with an updated Patty-mobile, the trailer also shows SpongeBob and Patrick falling prey to ice cream, churros, cotton candy and the dangers of gambling after stumbling upon the lost city of Atlantic City.

SpongeBob Squarepants Looks for Gary in ‘Sponge on the Run’ Trailer – And Finds Keanu Reeves (Video)
If you were concerned that a “SpongeBob Squarepants” animated movie might not be as surreal or as bonkers as the actual show, fear not. Because a sequence in the first trailer for “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on a Run” in which SpongeBob and Patrick meet the floating head of Keanu Reeves is as strange as you can imagine.
Yes, Keanu Reeves, John Wick himself, appears before SpongeBob and Patrick in a ball of tumbleweed while they’re on a quest to find SpongeBob’s pet snail, Gary, who has gone missing and is possibly “snailnapped.”
“Call me Sage. I’m made of sage and I am a sage, so it works out pretty well,” Reeves says in the trailer with a glint in his eye. “I’m Patrick, my name means ‘toaster’ in Celtic,” SpongeBob’s lovable pink friend responds.

On the eve of this Ashes series the England selectors took the decision to drop Nick Compton and promote 22-year old Joe Root from the middle order to opener.
Compton had averaged 46.40 during the tour to New Zealand in March, but in the return series on home soil he managed just 39 runs in 4 innings with a highest score of just 16.
Root himself has opened for Yorkshire ever since he made his debut for the county back in 2009.
His first taste at the top of the order for his country was in England’s warm-up game at Chelmsford against Essex where he looked shaky at best, particularly against 20-year old fast bowler Tymal Mills, managing scores of 41 and 26.
I mentioned in a previous article that facing the new ball in International Cricket is a different proposition entirely to that at domestic level and frankly it showed.
Root found it hard going...

Result: Match Drawn
Aus 527-7 dec & 172-7 dec v England 368 & 37-3
England retained the Ashes thanks to a Day 5 washout, drawing the Third Investec Test against Australia at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.
As the gloom drifted towards Old Trafford this morning, the inevitable result of a draw was all but sealed. You would be chastised for thinking any more optimistically, but up until last night, the rain clouds managed to stay away from Manchester. Australia happened to make great use of their time at the vastly changed ground, but it just wasn’t enough to snatch 10 England wickets in the tiniest of dry windows on the fifth day.
Australian captain Michael Clarke had the most perfect of positions just after Tea on Day 4, leading England by 300+ runs with nearly 4 sessions to bowl. With both Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle bowling superbly in the series so far, and with...

William H. Macy, Virginia Madsen, Peter Facinelli and Andrew J West have all joined Anna Mastro's dramedy "Walter".
Based on a short story by Paul Schoulberg, the action follows a movie theater worker who believes that he is actually the son of God.
As such, the eternal destiny of everyone he encounters is his responsibility — along with a neurotic mother, and a growing but unspoken affection for his co-worker.
Neve Campbell, Leven Rambin and Milo Ventimiglia also star in the film which Paul Schoulberg is adapting.
Mark Holder, Christine Holder, Brendan Patrick Hill, Ryan Harris and Benito Mueller are producing. Filming is currently underway in Indiana and Los Angeles.

Death Do Us Part is an upcoming horror movie which comes from director Nicholas Humphries and as you’re about to see – it looks fantastic! The movie premiered at the Vancouver Fan Expo and is still without an official release date (sceptical about that, though) but at least we have one great video and some awesome images from the whole thing to share – so, take a look!
Nicholas Humphries directed the movie from a script written by Ryan Copple, Peter Benson and Julia Benson, which centers on six friends who go to a remote cabin in the woods to celebrate a Jack and Jill bachelor party. But, out in the middle of nowhere, things take a horrifying turn…
But, in case you’re interested in more details, here’s the official synopsis:

We’ve been following filmmaker John Michael Elfer’s Kiss Before the Slaughter since its down and dirty desert shoot earlier this year, and now we are proud to offer you, our Dread Central readers, an early look at the project's high-octane trailer! Read on!
Voted onto the ‘Blood List’ of 2010 (an industry insider list of the top not-yet-produced horror scripts in Hollywood), Kiss Before the Slaughter follows the exploits of ex-paramours Bradley and Raquel (actors Chandler Maness and Natalie Pero, respectively), who journey to Mexico for a black-market lung transplant for the latter, only to discover an underground organization who butcher the unsuspecting ‘donors’ on which Raquel had relied. Struggling with both their mortality and morality, Raquel asks Bradley - in an effort to save the group of complete strangers which the organization have ensnared as ‘donors’ - that instead he let her die. Needless to say, all hell breaks loose.

Atlantic City, New Jersey — For the first stop on its traveling roadshow, the Dave Matthews Band Caravan brought a rootsy collection of friends to dusty Bader Field on Friday. And even after a career-spanning set that included "Don't Drink the Water," "Satellite" and "Why I Am," Dmb still have plenty of hits to draw from for the next two headlining performances of their inaugural three-day festival.
Matthews gave nods to almost all of the day's supporting acts, mentioning Delta Spirit, Carolina Chocolate Drops and The Head & The Heart, and saying, "It was a pleasure to share the stage with Ray Lamontagne." David Ryan Harris, who played Friday afternoon, joined the band for perennial crowd favorite "Jimi Thing" from their 1994 debut, Under the Table and Dreaming.
