Barry Hertz’s new book, “Welcome to the Family,” tells the story of the Fast & Furious franchise, including details about the difficult making of Fast X. It shares what originally was planned for the sequel – like the villain Dante, played by Jason Momoa, gathering a team of Dom’s old enemies. However, the most surprising revelation (reported by IndieWire) is the reason why director Justin Lin unexpectedly left the project, leaving its future uncertain.

During an interview with Variety while promoting his latest film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Daniel Craig Johnson shared details about his next project. He mentioned the movie will be inspired by 1970s thrillers, a concept he’s touched on before.

The film opens with a striking sequence that immediately showcases the beautiful visuals of this captivating thriller. Director Kleber Mendonça Filho and cinematographer Evgenia Alexandrova used classic PanaVision lenses and equipment to film “The Secret Agent,” giving it a wider, cinematic feel and a look reminiscent of 1970s films. But it’s more than just a stylistic nod; the camera work truly pulls you into the story’s lively world.

Pope Leo offered students advice that went beyond just schoolwork. He urged them to use AI thoughtfully, warning that it shouldn’t hinder their personal development. He encouraged them to use AI in a way that they could still think for themselves, be creative, build real relationships, and act independently, even if AI were no longer available. He concluded by reminding them that AI can never replace the special qualities each of them brings to the world.

Vince Gilligan’s shows are known for taking their time, but it’s not simply about being slow. It’s a deliberate approach that builds tension and emphasizes the hard work and dedication of the characters. Think of the elaborate planning – like using a powerful magnet to steal evidence in Breaking Bad, the detailed practice of a robbery in Better Call Saul, or the painstaking gathering of evidence for a lawsuit against a retirement home chain in the same show. This careful, methodical approach is what allows an ordinary high school chemistry teacher to become a master meth cook, and a struggling law firm employee to earn a degree from a remote university.

Hamnet isn’t a remake of Shakespeare’s famous play, but a story about the playwright (played by Paul Mescal) and his wife, Agnes (Jessie Buckley), a woman with a mystical and unconventional spirit. They have three children, and Agnes has a premonition that one of them won’t survive. When their son, Hamnet, dies, it deeply impacts their marriage. William leaves for London to focus on his plays, while Agnes struggles to care for their remaining daughters. Later, Agnes and her brother, Bartholemew, travel to London and see a performance of Hamlet for the first time. The play deeply unsettles Agnes, as she recognizes echoes of her own life within the story, making the experience both captivating and disturbing. It’s as if her private grief and experiences are being played out on stage.

Now that Zootopia 2 is in theaters, Disney hasn’t said when it will be available to stream on Disney+. Disney typically waits before adding new movies to Disney+ to encourage people to see them in cinemas. They learned that releasing films on streaming too soon after their theatrical release can lower box office earnings, as happened with several movies in 2021 and 2022. While there’s no official date yet, based on how long it usually takes for Disney animated films to arrive on Disney+, we can estimate Zootopia 2 will likely be available for streaming around the holidays.
