It’s common for fans to compare the Disney-era Star Wars stories to the original vision George Lucas had, including ideas he never got to finish. Interestingly, a project he once planned that was canceled is now being adapted into a different Star Wars series.
Channing Tatum recently shared a photo on Instagram that had fans wondering why he was in the hospital.

Today, it’s rare for movie studios to take risks on completely original ideas, with most films being sequels, remakes, or adaptations. However, despite this trend, some of the most memorable and impactful movies of all time have been created since 2000 by incredibly talented filmmakers. While many of these directors began their careers in the late 1990s, they truly flourished and produced their finest work in the 21st century.
Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a funny TV show about a group of unusual detectives in the NYPD. They solve crimes with a lot of humor, even though their captain, Raymon Holt (played by Andre Braugher), is very serious. The show stars Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Chelsea Peretti, Dirk Blocker, and Joel McKinnon Miller, and is known for its hilarious cast and writing.
The hit HBO Max show Euphoria, which debuted in 2019 and helped launch the careers of stars like Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, and Sydney Sweeney, is reportedly finishing its run this Spring. If you’re looking for something similar to watch while you wait, there’s another series you might enjoy.
The show premiered on Epix in 2022. It takes place in a strange town in the American heartland where nobody can escape – the roads simply lead back where you started. When night falls, terrifying creatures emerge from the surrounding woods. The town’s residents huddle in the center, looking to Boyd Stevens (Perrineau), who has appointed himself sheriff and acts as the town’s leader, to maintain order during this frightening situation.
During Rinna’s final season on the show, she faced criticism for frequent arguments with her castmates and negative comments about the show online, especially after her mother, Lois, passed away during filming. While fans reacted negatively to her at BravoCon in 2022, her public image improved this season on The Traitors. She embraced the role of a villain so convincingly that it was entertaining to watch. Rinna, along with fellow cast members Candiace Dillard-Bassett and Rob Rausch, formed a strong alliance of Traitors. However, Rob ultimately betrayed Lisa by siding with Colton Underwood, a former Bachelor, and revealed her as a Traitor to the entire group.
While promoting her first film as a director, The Chronology of Water, Stewart has been outspoken about the need for change in Hollywood. In an interview with The New York Times, she described the industry as a deeply flawed system, saying it’s driven by profit and biased against women and people from marginalized groups. She wants to move away from focusing solely on a film’s financial success. She explained that her next project would ideally be made with no concern for profit—she’d even be happy if it didn’t make any money—and still be a critical success. She believes making movies shouldn’t be so difficult and is exploring ways to create films outside the traditional, capitalist model. Stewart sees the Highland Theater as a potential space to experiment with this new approach, and perhaps even host the premiere of a possible Twilight remake.
Look, let’s be honest. Over at Disney’s TV and streaming side, things felt…stuck for a while. Everyone was walking on eggshells, it seemed, while Bob Iger was deciding who would take the reins. No one wanted to make a bold move that might jeopardize their chances at getting the top job. And while they were treading water, their competitors were making massive plays. Comcast restructured and dropped a billion dollars to snag Taylor Sheridan. Paramount started spending aggressively under new ownership, buying up UFC and the creators of Stranger Things. And Netflix? They’re going all in on theatrical releases after acquiring Warner Bros. It’s been a period of huge change, and Disney felt surprisingly…passive.
The 2012 comedy, directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, was a huge success with both audiences and critics. Its sequel did even better financially and received similar praise, leading many to expect a third film, but one was never made.
