In a straightforward and engaging manner: Few authors have better equipped us for our possible dystopian future than Stephen King. Across over 60 novels and numerous short stories, he has portrayed various scenarios such as a society-shaking pandemic in “The Stand” to a property magnate who leverages his outsider status to rise as a political demagogue in “The Dead Zone”. Under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, he wove tales of a United States plagued by economic decline and ruled by a totalitarian regime that entertains its citizens with televised violence. The upcoming 2025-set film adaptation of “The Running Man” is set to be released in November, while “The Long Walk” is finally making its way to theaters after decades in development limbo. Both movies seem perfectly timed for their release.

Jennifer Lopez, renowned as the “Get Right” singer, nurtured a dream to act in a musical movie ever since she watched West Side Story on TV at home in the Bronx during her childhood. This aspiration sparked when she auditioned for Evita in 1996, but it wasn’t until a post-screening Q&A for her latest musical film (as reported by Variety) that she shared this anecdote. It was then that she learned Madonna had landed the lead role in Evita, a painful experience for Lopez that I can certainly empathize with.

Ring, ring! In a noticeable transformation, Sweeney swaps her elegant long blonde locks for a scruffy brown style, dons plain garments, and showcases an impressive muscular physique. To embody the role, Sweeney piled on 30 pounds by consuming large amounts of Chick-fil-A, Smucker’s, milkshakes, and protein shakes, as she shared during a Toronto International Film Festival Q&A, as reported by MMA Junkie. The trailer portrays Christy’s boxing journey, where she experiences victories and defeats in the ring. Along her path, she grapples with her domineering and abusive spouse who menaces, “If you leave me, I’ll kill you.” The narrative is underscored by a string-driven rendition of Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen” with a rhythmic pulse similar to the iconic “Eye of the Tiger” from Rocky III.
