It’s been three years since the second *Avatar* movie came out in theaters (and is available on Disney+), so you might want a refresher before the new film, *Fire and Ash*, arrives. Luckily, Variety reports that James Cameron’s sequel will be re-released in October. And here’s a treat: screenings will include a first look at new footage from *Fire and Ash*. However, there’s a catch – three different clips were made, and each showing will only play one of them.
Early footage reveals a large, powerful character battling a much smaller ninja. It showcases the kind of expertly-timed action that Genndy Tartakovsky is known for. He shared that the Knight Armor in the project is massive – 20 feet tall – and operated from within by a knight using a system of ropes, pulleys, and levers. The story is set around the 14th century, making it a sort of medieval robot battle. Tartakovsky’s post is gaining a lot of attention, with celebrities like Bobby Moynihan and Jack Quaid showing their enthusiasm in the comments.
It looks like those who tried to get Jimmy Kimmel canceled haven’t succeeded. Last week, *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* was temporarily pulled off the air after the head of the FCC, Brendan Carr, publicly criticized a joke Kimmel made. Carr believed the joke implied someone connected to Charlie Kirk’s attacker was a supporter of Donald Trump. He hinted that ABC, the network airing the show, could face issues with its operating licenses. Shortly after, several media companies, including Nexstar and Sinclair, announced they would stop airing *JKL!*. However, ABC quickly brought Kimmel back, and the show achieved record ratings. Carr later said he wasn’t involved in the decisions by the media companies, and both Sinclair and Nexstar have now reversed their boycott. Donald Trump remains upset about the situation, though.
It may descend by another 11% should it fail to cling to the sacred 3,900, lest the coins stage a further bow and exit stage left. 😅
Chase Infiniti, originally named Chase Infiniti Payne, decided to drop her last name, which is common. Growing up in Indianapolis, she was raised by her father, who owned a construction company, and her mother, who stayed at home. Her first name is a nod to Nicole Kidman’s character, Chase Meridian, in the film *Batman Forever*, while her middle name, Infiniti, comes from Buzz Lightyear’s famous line, “To infinity, and beyond!” from *Toy Story*. Although she doesn’t come from a family with industry connections, she seems destined for stardom.
The first season of *True Blood* focused on a more intimate story before introducing a wide range of supernatural beings. It mainly followed Sookie Stackhouse and the town of Bon Temps as they dealt with the arrival of vampires. Even in those initial four episodes, the show hinted at much bigger things to come, and it was incredibly captivating!
David Corenswet starred as Superman, capturing the character’s hopeful spirit and humanity in the movie. He physically embodies the iconic hero, even sporting Superman’s famous hair curl. Director James Gunn shared in the commentary that he specifically focused on visually establishing Clark Kent as a towering figure within Metropolis.
Despite initial concerns, Arthur’s campaign is actually progressing well. Byron, his campaign manager, is using a strategy popular in American politics – featuring the candidate’s image on posters. One poster shows Arthur with a full beard, which is strange since he normally only has a mustache. Byron explained that Abraham Lincoln grew a beard on the advice of a supporter and won the election, and believes Arthur can grow a similar “winning” beard in five weeks – though he jokes that two weeks should really be enough. Arthur is skeptical and uncomfortable with this focus on appearances, even though the plan is already underway.
