There’s a lot of speculation going around! Some people think couples like Tomdaya, RPattz, and SuWa might have secretly gotten married. Others believe Robert Pattinson is playfully misleading the media, which he’s known to do.

Apparently, it was actually Matt Damon who committed the act, with Robert and Zendaya helping to cover it up.

So, Jeff announced the challenge: the first two tribes to succeed – which involved getting a boat seaworthy and completing a puzzle – would win immunity. But only one would get a reward, and honestly, it was a head-scratcher. They get to spend time with… Zac Brown? I’m drawing a blank. Is he related to Jack Black? Nope. Apparently, he’s a country singer, and let me tell you, this guy is built. Seriously, massive arms.

And the film was directed by Russian filmmaker Kiril Sokolov, rather than the American group Radio Silence.

The movie Bloodsport follows U.S. Army Captain Frank Dux as he competes in the Kumite, a secret martial arts tournament held in Hong Kong. It’s currently unknown how closely the new version, led by Michaela Coel, will follow the original story. We also don’t know if Coel will play the fighter herself, or if the film will introduce a new actor with a background in MMA or professional wrestling. These are just some initial ideas being considered.

This is Lola Tung’s first significant role since starring in The Summer I Turned Pretty. After the film, she discussed how the two characters differed. Joking about the darker nature of her new role, and dressed in a dramatic black outfit – a lingerie top, skirt, and cape – she quipped, “I guess you could say Cousins is pretty dangerous.”

According to a recent article in Deadline, Netflix is considering its approach to releasing films in theaters, and as part of that, they’re planning to release The Adventures of Cliff Booth in August.
