LAWeekly Instagram: Featuring the culture of LA since 1978 ✌️

More than 45 years after “The Evil Dead“ changed h More than 45 years after “The Evil Dead“ changed horror forever, the franchise is still alive and well. This time, the torch has been passed to French filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček, whose “Infested“ caught Sam Raimi's eye and led him to direct “Evil Dead Burn.“ Ahead of the film's release tomorrow, July 10, Vaniček tells us about how he stepped into one of horror's most beloved franchises, balancing relentless brutality with humor, the series' famously chaotic lore, and his battle with the MPAA over the film's violence. “When you start to work in this universe, you are like, ‘Okay, so what are the rules?’ It's like, there are no rules,” Vaniček says with a laugh. @sebvanicek @evildead @warnerbros @warnerbroshorror @newlinecinema Read the interview and see the photos thru @laweekly ✍️ @gilmaciashq 📸 BTS: Matt Klitscher @nzfilmstills Stills courtesy of Warner Bros.

BLXST returns with “Labor of Love,” his first full BLXST returns with “Labor of Love,” his first fully self-produced album and one rooted in family, vulnerability and growth. The LA artist reflects on reconnecting with his purpose through fatherhood, honoring the home his grandfather built, carrying the torch for the West Coast, and why slowing down helped shape the most personal project of his career. “I just feel real proud of this body of work, knowing that it comes from an authentic place,” he says. “I think it’s going to stand the test of time. It was real stories, real vulnerable moments, and I feel people connect to that.” @blxst Read the story and see the photos thru @laweekly ✍️ @boyface_ 📸 Joshua Gonzalez

LA 💜💛 LeBron LeBron James has informed the Lakers LA 💜💛 LeBron LeBron James has informed the Lakers he will not return next season and plans to play elsewhere in his 24th NBA campaign. First reported to ESPN’s Shams Charania, and confirmed via the Lakers X account with a statement from Jeanie Buss, James told the franchise it could move on as he explores free agency. At 41, James has completed eight seasons with the Lakers, winning the 2020 NBA championship before the team’s Western Conference semifinal exit this spring. James and his son Bronny made NBA history by playing together for the Lakers for two seasons (2024–2026), becoming the first father-son duo to share the court in NBA history. 📸 Getty
