I was blessed to have both Quavo and Ty Dolla $ign contribute their incredible vocals to the track – it turned out so dope!”

The Hulu Original docu-series is set to premiere with all episodes on September 24th on Hulu.
There’s the official synopsis:
Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal” takes you inside eight true crime cases with shocking encounters with the paranormal world – through eyewitness accounts, expert interviews, and all-new investigations. In each case, amidst an agonizing search for answers, one rumor emerges from the pack: something inhuman is afoot. These in-depth investigations transport us to towns and cities across North America where we speak to individuals with eyewitness accounts and first-person details about the extraordinary, supernatural events that changed their lives forever.
A six-year-old boy in the Smoky Mountains disappears forever after being snatched by a mysterious ape-like beast. A UFO crash in Long Island sparks an assassination attempt and illuminates a massive political conspiracy. An occult coven of Satanic witches is implicated in a decades-old New Jersey murder. Lonely ghosts in San Francisco’s Chinatown threaten to steal the lives of the unmarried. In these stories and more, “Out There” tracks down fresh leads and uncovers new evidence amid a labyrinth of twists and turns. At the end of the road, the investigations unearth new truths – about the power of mythology, the allure of the paranormal, and the monsters among us.
“Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal” is produced by Duplass Brothers Productions and Number 19, with Mark Duplass, Mel Eslyn, Jay Duplass, Joshua Rofé, Steven Berger, Zach Cregger, and Alexandra Orton serving as executive producers.

The trailer for one of the year’s most anticipated movies has been released. Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is the upcoming new documentary from Warner Bros, about Christopher Reeve.
Directed by BAFTA Award-nominated filmmakers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui (McQueen), it features interviews with Reeve’s three children, close friends actors Susan Sarandon and Glenn Close, and Reeve’s wife, Dana, who died in 2006 of lung cancer.
This astonishing new documentary charts Reeve’s rise to stardom and his journey to becoming a real–life hero. After a near–fatal horse–riding accident in 1995 left him paralyzed from the neck down, Reeve became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care—all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family.
The documentary premiered earlier this year to critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival.
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is only available in theaters September 21 and September 25.
