Barry Hertz’s new book, “Welcome to the Family,” tells the story of the Fast & Furious franchise, including details about the difficult making of Fast X. It shares what originally was planned for the sequel – like the villain Dante, played by Jason Momoa, gathering a team of Dom’s old enemies. However, the most surprising revelation (reported by IndieWire) is the reason why director Justin Lin unexpectedly left the project, leaving its future uncertain.

During an interview with Variety while promoting his latest film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Daniel Craig Johnson shared details about his next project. He mentioned the movie will be inspired by 1970s thrillers, a concept he’s touched on before.

The film opens with a striking sequence that immediately showcases the beautiful visuals of this captivating thriller.

But it’s more than just a stylistic nod; the camera work truly pulls you into the story’s lively world.

Vince Gilligan’s shows are known for taking their time, but it’s not simply about being slow. It’s a deliberate approach that builds tension and emphasizes the hard work and dedication of the characters. Think of the elaborate planning – like using a powerful magnet to steal evidence in Breaking Bad, the detailed practice of a robbery in Better Call Saul, or the painstaking gathering of evidence for a lawsuit against a retirement home chain in the same show. This careful, methodical approach is what allows an ordinary high school chemistry teacher to become a master meth cook, and a struggling law firm employee to earn a degree from a remote university.

Pope Leo offered students advice that went beyond just schoolwork. He urged them to use AI thoughtfully, warning that it shouldn’t hinder their personal development. He encouraged them to use AI in a way that they could still think for themselves, be creative, build real relationships, and act independently, even if AI were no longer available. He concluded by reminding them that AI can never replace the special qualities each of them brings to the world.
