Hollywood Minute: ‘Star Wars’ poster art sells for $3.8M as Zendaya’s new trailer drops and Beyoncé returns to Met Gala

A piece of cinematic history has shattered records at the auction block.

(CNN)- A piece of cinematic history has shattered records at the auction block. The original artwork for the “Star Wars: A New Hope” movie poster has sold for an astounding $3.8 million, making it the most expensive Star Wars artifact ever auctioned — and the highest price ever paid for any movie poster art.

The iconic illustration, long considered one of the most recognizable pieces of film marketing ever created, now holds a place in auction history nearly 50 years after the film first premiered. As Obi-Wan Kenobi once said, “The Force will be with you… always.” This time, it’s with one very wealthy collector.

Meanwhile, Hollywood is buzzing over a brand-new teaser for “The Drama,” a wedding-weekend thriller starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. The film follows a seemingly perfect engaged couple whose plans unravel after a shocking revelation upends their big day.

The short clip previews awkward wedding prep sessions, tense family moments, and rising anxiety — giving audiences a first glimpse of the chaos to come when the film hits theaters in April.

And in the world of high fashion, Beyoncé is returning to the Met Gala for the first time in a decade — and this time, she’s not just attending. The superstar will serve as a co-chair of the 2026 event, alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour.

The famed fashion spectacle is set for May 4th, marking Beyoncé’s first appearance at the gala since 2016.
