Adrienne Roark, who became president of Paramount Global’s news division in August of last year, informed her team on Thursday that she will be departing the company at the end of February to accept a position at Tegna, a television-station group that was previously associated with Gannett. A representative from CBS News verified Roark’s announcement, but chose not to provide further comment.
Haugerud chuckles, saying he’s extremely relieved it’s all done, as it’s been quite a lengthy process. Creating these three films wasn’t overly challenging, but getting them out so swiftly proved to be,” he admits, adding that the saga was initially meant to culminate with ‘Dreams.’
According to KTLA’s report, a security guard stated that an intruder broke in by shattering a glass door and searched through the house before leaving the Beverly Crest neighborhood property in L.A. Neither Kidman nor Urban were present during the burglary. It remains unclear if any items were taken from the home of the celebrity duo.
In this enchanting tale, I find myself captivated by the stellar performances of Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. Their Oscar-nominated portrayals beautifully depict an unforeseen bond that blossoms between these two characters. However, their friendship is put to the test when they cross paths with the revered Wonderful Wizard of Oz, played by none other than Jeff Goldblum. Joining them in this exploration of female camaraderie, power struggles, and the hidden magic within us are Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, and Peter Dinklage. This cinematic journey offers a fresh take on friendship, corruption, and the extraordinary power residing in each of us.

For the next eleven months, some highly anticipated movies like “Mission: Impossible – The Last Stand”, “Jurassic World: Resurgence”, “Avatar: Flames and Embers”, “Wicked: For Better or Worse” and “Superman” will be released in Hollywood. The intention is to increase earnings to a level comparable to pre-COVID times. Now that the pandemic and strikes are behind us, domestic revenues are expected to reach between $9.3 billion and $9.5 billion for the year. This would mark the best post-pandemic period yet, although it will still be below pre-pandemic levels when North American box office sales typically reached between $10.5 billion and $11 billion annually.
The main focus of the film is a future-set sport called Rollerball, which combines elements of roller derby, football, and motorcycles into a brutal spectacle. Remarkably, during its initial release, there was immense enthusiasm for this “sport,” leading numerous promoters and investors to reach out to Jewison with the intention of securing its rights. However, given the film’s themes, it is unsurprising that no such transaction occurred as the prospect of a real Rollerball league clashed with the director’s sensibilities.
The move from behind the camera wasn’t entirely spontaneous; instead, it marked the conclusion of a long-standing journey that commenced during Ranganathan’s student filmmaking years. “It all began with my short films,” Ranganathan shares with EbMaster. “When I directed my first short film alongside another actor, everyone at college approached him. I was standing right beside him, but no one realized I was the director. After everyone left, he’d apologize for not introducing me, saying ‘I’ll introduce them to you next time.’ I’d reply, ‘No need, it would be awkward if you called them again.’
