Olivia Wilde Says She’s Become ‘So Much More Romantic’ Because of ‘The Invite’: ‘It Melted the Cynic Out of Me’

Olivia Wilde said she has become “so much more romantic” because of “The Invite.”

“It’s melted the cynic out of me,” she said at Switzerand’s Locarno Film Festival .

“I have spoken to people who have been through so much with their partners, and people have been in marriages for 40, 50, 60 years. They told me it was a very honest depiction of their own experience of really having several relationships with the same person.”

‘Tony’ Star Dominic Sessa on How Being a ‘Liar’ Helped Him Portray Anthony Bourdain and Why the Film Foreshadows His Later Struggles

For most actors, playing a real person in a biopic comes with an unrealistic amount of pressure.

But because Matt Johnson decided to focus on just one summer in 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain‘s life — long before the famed chef-turned-writer ever wrote “Kitchen Confidential” or became a household name — “Tony” star Dominic Sessa had a wide-open canvas.

Upcoming PS5 Games: The Future of PlayStation Exclusives

After what seemed like the end of console exclusives, Xbox and PlayStation are officially getting back into the game. (Let's be real, Nintendo never left it.)

While the past generation of PS5-exclusive games eventually made their way to PC, Sony announced in May 2026 that future single-player games will actually be exclusive to the console. That was a recent announcement, so things are being ironed out, and some games that have been development will still see a simultaneous launch on both systems.

If you drive with an iPhone next to you every day, one of the biggest quality-of-life improvements you can make to your car is using Apple CarPlay.

You get simplified controls on a larger display and don't run the risk of being distracted trying to operate your phone while driving. Support for CarPlay goes all the way back to the iPhone 5, with most major car manufacturers, like Ford, Hyundai, BMW and Honda, having integrated it into their models.

The hardest problem in quantum computing isn’t building more qubits. It’s stopping the ones you have from making mistakes. A new peer-reviewed paper in Nature shows that D-Wave’s dual-rail qubits can now entangle with each other cleanly. That’s been a critical missing puzzle piece for solving quantum error correction efficiently. D-Wave says its new qubit design could reduce logical error rates 10X at each step, and clears a path to a commercially useful 100-logical-qubit system by 2032.
