After a lot of behind-the-scenes issues, here’s our first glimpse of Scream 7. The film faced major changes when Melissa Barrera, who played Sam Carpenter, was let go in November 2023 because of her social media posts supporting Palestine. Shortly after, Jenna Ortega, who played her sister Tara, decided to leave the project, citing changes in the cast and director as her reason. Director Christopher Landon also stepped down following Barrera’s firing.

Alexandra Daddario recently talked to ScreenRant about rumors she might appear in James Gunn’s new DC Universe. While promoting her movie, I Wish You All The Best, she was asked about fan art showing her as Wonder Woman or Catwoman, roles many fans have suggested she’d be perfect for. Daddario admitted she hadn’t actually seen the fan art.

The 2010s were a difficult decade for Nintendo. The Wii U wasn’t successful, and while the 3DS did okay, it didn’t reach the popularity of its predecessor. Although Nintendo eventually turned things around with the Switch, the company faced some serious challenges. Interestingly, a surprisingly poor-quality 3DS game actually played a role in their recovery.

Recent information suggests that the release of Lanterns may have been delayed. The host of The Lanterncast podcast shared an email conversation online (through Superman Saga News on X) with someone claiming to be a writer for The Hollywood Reporter. This exchange indicates the film’s release has been pushed from earlier in the year, potentially to as late as summer.

The season follows Geralt and his companions as they finally approach Nilfgaard, but face one last challenge: a dangerous river crossing. They initially find a ferry, which seems like a stroke of luck. However, a Northern army mistakenly believes they are spies for Nilfgaard, forcing them to flee down the river. Unfortunately, this only leads them into another danger – a Nilfgaardian force waiting on the other side, ready to attack.

The episode mostly unfolds as expected. Heather and Emily visit Heather’s childhood home and receive a spontaneous tour, culminating in an emotional moment for Heather by the canal. It’s a genuinely touching scene. The group playfully teases Shannon about her Spanx, which feels like a missed opportunity for a product endorsement. Later, Gina and Heather give Shannon mushrooms, leading to a hallucination of reality TV music – a perfectly fitting experience for her. The episode culminates in a final dinner where Heather delivers a toast that perfectly captures the essence of modern reality TV: “May our makeup always be perfect, our stories always be truthful, and our friendships, though messy, always be worthwhile.” It’s a statement worthy of being embroidered and displayed, perhaps even in a museum – though it might be too tempting for thieves, so placing it near the Morgan letters would be safer.
