Coming in 2025, Song Sung Blue is a unique and interesting movie. Directed by Craig Brewer, it’s a musical based on the true story of a couple who create a tribute band to Neil Diamond. The film follows their journey with the band, as well as the ups and downs of their personal relationship. Brewer has acknowledged that the story might sound unbelievable, and he understands why some people might find it hard to believe.

In a recent interview discussing his new film, Shoji Kawamori also talked about Macross. He noted some connections between the classic mecha series and Labyrinth, but pointed out that the anime landscape is very different now. Considering this, and the history of Macross, it seems likely that the series might have become much more popular in the West if its various anime installments had been released internationally earlier.

The new movie, also called “Anaconda,” is a self-aware reboot of the 1997 classic. Director Tom Gormican, along with co-writer Kevin Etten, tries to capitalize on people’s fondness for the original. However, the film doesn’t quite deliver on either the humor needed for a comedy or the excitement you’d expect from an action movie.

Deadline reports that the Paramount+ series has added Thomas Jane and Kai Murakami for its fifth and final season. Jane will play Leonard “Bones” McCoy, and Murakami will portray Hikaru Sulu. Both actors will appear in the season finale, which will also serve as the show’s last episode.

In a conversation with CBR, Ross explained that Talisman has left Netflix and they are no longer working on it. Matt also confessed that they might have been unrealistic to think they could adapt The Talisman successfully.

Disney’s recent live-action Lilo & Stitch and Zootopia 2 both earned over $1 billion at the box office, and Ne Zha 2 became a massive hit, taking in over $2 billion worldwide. Avatar: Fire and Ash is expected to join them, potentially giving 2025 four movies that each grossed over $1 billion. However, 2026 looks even more promising and could surpass that number.

The actors have kept their relationship pretty private after coming together in 2023 on the set of Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of the beloved musical and ending their respective marriages. Last year, Ariana Grande paid subtle tribute to her man through her Christmas decorations but, now, Ethan Slater has posted several photos of her on his Instagram Stories:

Liv Tyler isn’t the only returning actor for the new Marvel series. Royce Johnson, who played former NYPD officer Brett Mahoney, will also be back. While fans have already seen photos of Liv Tyler promoting the season, the announcement of Johnson’s return was handled a bit differently.

Before returning in his own spinoff series, Michael Weatherly reprised his role as Tony DiNozzo in a special episode of NCIS season 21, honoring Ducky’s character. It felt strange seeing him back at headquarters after so long, especially since the team at MCRT had changed so much. The future of NCIS: Tony & Ziva season 2 is still uncertain, which could mean Weatherly continues playing DiNozzo through the spinoff. While a full return to the original NCIS seems unlikely, the show has successfully cast a great new character in season 23 to fill his role.

I was surprised she liked it, because whenever I’ve shown her shows from my childhood, she usually just politely tolerates them until she can excuse herself. But she actually loves The Simpsons! She’s watched every episode on Disney+ – all of them, even the shorts – except for one.
