Movie fans have waited longer for the sequel because director Matt Reeves kept refining the script with his co-writer, Mattson Tomlin. The Batman – Part II is now scheduled to come out in 2027. During the break in production, the film lost Greig Fraser, the cinematographer who was crucial in creating the distinctive look of Gotham City. Fraser has been nominated for three Academy Awards for his work on films like Lion and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, winning for the first Dune movie in 2021. He’s currently working on other projects, including Project Hail Mary with directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and is also set to film Sam Mendes’ upcoming movies about The Beatles.

Actor Matthias Schoenaerts, 47, has been sentenced to six months in jail, a €4,000 fine, and a year-long driving ban after being convicted of driving without a valid license. The sentencing occurred while Schoenaerts was not present in court.

Earlier this year, Dave Coulier finished his treatment for Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and his former co-stars were there to celebrate with him. He described them as family, explaining that they stay connected through funny text messages and frequent video calls. Candace Cameron Bure and Lori Loughlin have FaceTimed him a few times, while John Stamos calls him almost daily. Coulier first revealed his diagnosis in November and has since become a strong advocate for cancer screening and early detection. Surprisingly, he found a silver lining in his experience, noting that having one type of cancer helped him discover another. He says it sounds strange, but it’s true.

What’s interesting to discuss is how things have changed since the show originally started. When Vanderpump Rules first aired in 2013, becoming a reality TV star wasn’t a common career path, especially for young people. (Many who have succeeded in this field owe a debt to the cast and crew of SUR, and a certain family from Calabasas.) Instagram was still growing in popularity, and the idea of ‘influencers’ – people aiming to gain followers and promote brands on reality TV – didn’t really exist yet. The original cast members of Vanderpump Rules joined the show for fun and as a possible way to break into the entertainment business. They were pioneers, without any examples to follow, hoping it would lead to bigger things.

Okay, so The Rings of Power is getting a lot of different reactions, and that’s fine. But honestly, if you’re a fantasy fan, you need to check out The Shannara Chronicles. It’s a show with Austin Butler from before he was huge, and it’s criminally underrated. It follows Wil Shannara, who’s basically an ordinary guy suddenly thrown into this amazing world of elves, nomads, and magic users. He has to learn to use these powerful Elfstones to stop a seriously terrifying demon army led by this ancient evil, the Dagda Mor. Trust me, it’s a wild ride!

Frank Welker will once again be the voice of Scooby-Doo in the upcoming live-action series on Netflix, according to Nexus Point News. Welker has been voicing Fred Jones since 1969 and took on the role of Scooby-Doo in 2002, and he’s returning to play the beloved Great Dane in this new version of the classic story.

Given everything going on with Whitney, maybe a silly inflatable costume would be a good distraction. It’s obvious she and Justin are struggling – their business failed, and Whitney feels Justin is to blame for leading them into a multi-level marketing scheme. She’s angry at him, but also at herself for believing him. What makes this show work is that the women are incredibly honest, even when it’s difficult. Unlike other reality stars who try to appear perfect, the women of Salt Lake City readily share their struggles and vulnerabilities. They don’t shy away from anything, whether it’s financial setbacks or, like with Heather, even admitting to a very old and stained mattress.

Cameron is currently promoting Avatar: Fire and Ash, a highly anticipated film set to release in 2025. While speaking with io9, he discussed the future of the Terminator franchise and shared an update when asked about it.

It’s not simply about whether people will go see Avatar: Fire and Ash in theaters. The first two Avatar movies were huge successes, but the way film franchises—or what director James Cameron calls “sagas”—are made and marketed has evolved a lot recently.

The best comic book series deeply understand their characters, pairing that insight with amazing artwork to create unforgettable stories. These series stay with readers for years, and often become the standard for how everyone – both fans and the publisher – thinks the character should be portrayed.
