Gwyneth Paltrow’s new film, Marty Supreme, marks her return to acting after a long break. She found the increasing use of intimacy coordinators on set a bit awkward, comparing it to the confusion someone might feel using Microsoft Teams if they’re not tech-savvy. Paltrow admitted she felt more uncomfortable talking about potentially sensitive scenes than actually performing them, and wasn’t sure the process was entirely helpful. The interview also touched on her experiences working with Harvey Weinstein, even after he allegedly harassed her when she was young. While she acknowledges things were different in her early career, she believes intimacy coordinators are a positive development for actors today. She’s especially glad her daughter, if she chooses to pursue acting, will benefit from having clear boundaries and a focus on consent on set.

As a total film buff, I always find myself coming back to Miracle on 34th Street every year. It really feels like the movie that perfectly bridges the gap between fall and the full swing of the holidays. It’s definitely a product of its time, but it has this amazing way of feeling relevant even now, thanks to its smart take on society. If you’re after a genuinely classic holiday film, you can’t go wrong revisiting this Academy Award winner – it’s a true piece of American cinema.

The series seemed to lose steam after the first three films, with a noticeable decline in both quality and audience interest, although they were still enjoyable. Ultimately, this led Greta Gerwig to explore the story again. It’s become apparent that focusing on the earlier stories hinted at in the films could have allowed the franchise to expand and thrive.

Okay, so season three of Euphoria jumps ahead five years, and creator Sam Levinson has framed it as the cast’s post-high school chapter – think St. Elmo’s Fire to the Breakfast Club vibe of the earlier seasons. He’s dropped some interesting hints about where everyone’s landed. Zendaya’s Rue is down in Mexico, tangled up in debt with Laurie and trying to find creative (and likely risky) ways to get out of it. Hunter Schafer’s Jules is pursuing painting at art school, while both Maude Apatow’s Lexi and Alexa Demie’s Maddy have ended up in Hollywood. Maddy’s working at a talent agency, naturally with some other things going on, and Lexi is an assistant to a showrunner – played by the amazing Sharon Stone, who Levinson raves about. It sounds like they’re really exploring what happens after the drama of high school, and how these characters are navigating their twenties.

It’s still unknown what role she’ll have in the new movie – whether she’ll play a hero or a villain – but The Hollywood Reporter says she’s in talks to join the project. If she signs on, she’ll be acting alongside a talented cast including Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Andy Serkis, and Barry Keoghan.

The music executive was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering, but convicted on two charges related to prostitution and sentenced to over four years in prison. However, the documentary series The Reckoning raises the question of who else bears responsibility for his actions and whether the public played a role in enabling his behavior. While much of the series covers well-known details of the case, it ultimately portrays a man driven by insatiable desires. Here are five key points from the series.

Scarlett Johansson is in talks to star in the upcoming Batman 2, according to Deadline. Nexus Point News first reported the potential casting. DC Studios hasn’t officially confirmed the news yet.

Partridge said this back in 2002. Since then, the Bond film challenge has expanded to include five more movies. But the next Bond film, Bond 26, will be different – it’s the first one the Broccoli family and Eon Productions haven’t directly overseen. Because of this, No Time to Die might be seen as the end of an old chapter, and Bond 26 the beginning of a new one.

The Batman 2, the follow-up to the 2023 film, is currently planned for release in 2027. Matt Reeves is directing, and Robert Pattinson will return as Batman/Bruce Wayne.

Cameron is happy with how the Fire and Ash story concludes, even if no more films are made, though there’s been talk of potential sequels. He always intended the three films to be one complete story, carefully planned from beginning to end, rather than separate installments. As he explained to io9:
