Minority Mindset

Brendan Fraser recently spoke with AP News about his career resurgence and past challenges in Hollywood while promoting his new movie, Rental Family. He discussed the possibility of a fourth Mummy film – a project 17 years in the making. Fraser, who won an Oscar, explained that this upcoming film is the Mummy movie he’d always envisioned. He described his experience making the third film and how it sparked a desire to continue the story – a desire that’s now being fulfilled.

After Velma Bruin and Bobby Exley left the show following Season 2 of Tracker, Colter’s team is welcoming two new faces. Randy, who previously had a temporary role, is now a full-time member, and Reenie Green has hired a new assistant, Melanie Day, to help at her law firm.

Paul Tazewell rightfully won an Oscar last year for the costumes in Wicked, and he’s a strong contender to win again this year for the sequel, Wicked: For Good. He’ll likely win thanks to the incredibly detailed outfits – from the Munchkins’ costumes to Glinda’s many beautiful pink gowns, and the striking, yet slightly unsettling, silver suit of the Tin Man. Technically, the win would also include Elphaba’s famously bulky, somewhat scratchy, grey cardigan, which she wears during intimate moments – something both Tazewell and I will have to accept if it happens.

It’s that time again – the excitement for Wicked is here, and with it, the fear of missing out! While Wicked: For Good is about 25 minutes shorter than the original movie, its two-hour-and-17-minute length might still be a bit long for those who don’t want to interrupt the story.

If you haven’t been following the legal drama surrounding the book It Ends With Us, consider yourself lucky!

However, the countersuits filed by the defendant claiming defamation – including one against The New York Times – have already been thrown out. The situation has become quite widespread, even involving Rainn Wilson and nearly requiring a deposition from Taylor Swift. When Elle magazine interviewed Hoover, she was preparing for her own deposition. She described the whole thing as a “circus” and explained she’s trying to stay out of the negativity. Hoover hinted she has her own side of the story, but doesn’t want to contribute to the drama by speaking out or putting others down, preferring to ignore the situation and let people form their own opinions.

After the controversial ending of Game of Thrones, HBO began developing several potential spinoff shows. But one by one, those projects were cancelled, leaving only House of the Dragon. Now, with House of the Dragon preparing for its third season and a new spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, set to premiere next year, HBO seems ready to fully reinvest in the world of Westeros – both its past and its future. As author George R.R. Martin explained:
