Not to rush things with a few weeks to go in August, but autumn's herald arrives today with the publication of our September-issue cover profile of Jennifer Aniston. The story, by longtime staffer Julie Miller, finds Aniston in a very particular state of zen, which is only achievable if one has spent the better part of the last three decades on TV and/or as the object of endless tabloid scrutiny. Like Aniston's Los Angeles hilltop remove, Miller's piece is a totally immersive experience. Read it to discover the full context of the following quote alone: "When people are like, 'Are you an ass man? Are you a leg girl?' I like hands…"
Elsewhere today, Anthony Breznican interviews director Zach Cregger, whose Weapons was the creepy, feel-good box office story of the weekend; Eve Batey has a closer look at a Hamptons tragedy; and Katie Herchenroeder examines Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's social media maneuvers. More tomorrow… |
For the September cover story, VF's Julie Miller climbed up, up, up, into the hills of Los Angeles—past mansions shielded by millions of dollars in manicured privacy hedges; past the gate an alleged stalker crashed into in May, which is now being surveilled by a police cruiser and a private 24/7 detail; past the security guard handing out NDAs to visitors, aside from this journalist—to reach Jennifer Aniston's $21 million sanctuary. "Out there, it causes nerves. In here," she says, motioning around her, "there should be no nerves." |

Director Zach Cregger reveals the surprising origins of the movie's creepy villain: "The last chapter of this movie is straight-up autobiographical." |
A week after a woman was found unresponsive inside a Hamptons yacht, investigators are still working to determine how and why she died. |
The movie was rejected by major film festivals before finally securing a premiere in Edinburgh this week. "Let's hope I won't be blacklisted," its star tells VF. "I might not work for a little bit." |

There's something comforting in Tim Burton using stop-motion animation to tell the chilling story of a long-dead misguided young student in the new season of Wednesday. As every fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas or his creepy-crawly creatures from Beetlejuice already knows, the filmmaker has a long history with the format. What might surprise even his most ardent followers, however, is just how far back this obsession goes.
With VF's Anthony Breznican, the director exclusively shares his inspiration—plus behind-the-scenes video of how the Skull Tree sequence came together for Wednesday season two. |
