The anecdote arose while Powell and The Running Man director Edgar Wright visited Hits Radio UK to promote the 2025 movie calendar entry. After being asked if either had instances where they’ve seen someone consuming a past project of theirs, the Twisters star jumped into the story. As seen on their Instagram, he recalled realizing the guy sitting next to was watching the 2023 rom-com. After watching him for a bit, he eventually asked the moviegoer if he was enjoying it, and got a curt response:

Next year celebrates the 25th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, and the film remains incredibly popular. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint will forever be known as the iconic Golden Trio, just like Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, and the rest of the cast. While the Harry Potter movies weren’t perfect, the idea of replacing them with a new TV series feels a bit strange.

The film’s central message becomes a little unclear in the second half, as the focus shifts to Ben Richards trying to evade his pursuers. It’s a shame, because a character introduced later on perfectly represents those initial themes and could have strengthened the story if she’d had a bigger role.

According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, Paramount is looking for a well-known actress to voice Amy Rose in the upcoming Sonic movie. Richtman shared this information on X (formerly Twitter), noting it’s a priority for the studio as they cast new characters, potentially hinting at her role in a future Sonic 4 adaptation.

Ariana Grande stars in Wicked: For Good, and the movie clearly centers around her character. While the first Wicked film focused on Elphaba, this sequel shines a light on her best friend, Glinda, portraying her as the seemingly perfect, yet secretly vulnerable, good witch used to control the population as Oz descends into a fearful dictatorship. Fans of the stage musical wondered how the story would work split into two films, as the second half of the play feels less complete on its own – it’s faster-paced, more disjointed, and relies heavily on events from the first half and references to the original Wizard of Oz. However, director Jon M. Chu has successfully made it work. Wicked: For Good is shorter than the first movie and, though it has less grand spectacle, it’s a surprisingly emotional and nuanced film. The audience in my theater was openly crying by the end, according to critic Bilge Ebiri of Vulture.

According to Variety, Peter Morgan’s next big project will be The Boys from Brazil. This new series will reunite Morgan with someone he previously worked with on Netflix’s The Crown – a show Morgan created. Both Morgan and Suzanne Mackie will produce The Boys from Brazil, and Mackie shared a statement about the upcoming production.

After suffering a serious ankle injury that needed surgery, Skattebo will miss the rest of the NFL season. He recently appeared on Monday Night Raw and had a planned interaction with wrestlers Dominik Mysterio, Finn Bálor, and J.D. McDonagh. Some fans were upset he was at the wrestling event instead of focusing on his recovery and football career.

Watching Studio Ghibli films feels like stepping into a dream. Things happen without needing explanation, and the characters just accept the impossible with a quiet grace. I’ve noticed that films like Spirited Away and Pom Poko bend reality so effortlessly that even something as complex as Evangelion feels relatively simple by comparison. They don’t bother with detailed logic; instead, they focus on creating a strong emotional impact and embracing the mystery. The result is always a unique and memorable experience, one that stays with you and leaves you pondering its meaning long after the movie ends.

Opening on February 5, 2026, inside Tokyo’s Yomiuriland amusement park, PokéPark Kanto will be a new Pokémon-themed area with two main sections: Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town. These areas will include over 600 Pokémon statues, rides, shops, shows, and other attractions. However, it seems like some Pokémon fans might not be able to experience everything the park has to offer.

Marlon Brando’s incredible performances in films like On the Waterfront and The Godfather made them truly special, and he remained captivating throughout his career. Given his talent for understanding stories, it wasn’t surprising he also wanted to direct. However, he only directed one film.
