Taika Waititi recently told Screen Daily that his new film, Klara and the Sun, is expected to be released this year. While a specific date hasn’t been set, he says discussions with Sony are underway, and they’re considering a potential debut at film festivals.
Ten years ago, the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child first opened in London. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, called it “the eighth story,” and it picks up right after the end of Deathly Hallows. The play follows Albus Severus Potter, Harry’s second son, during his first year at Hogwarts, and shows what’s happened with other favorite characters a decade later. The story is similar to It’s a Wonderful Life because it uses time travel to explore how different choices could have changed everything. When it first launched in the UK, The Cursed Child was very long—it was performed in two parts with a long break in between—but that’s now being changed.
While promoting his new horror film, Send Help, Sam Raimi spoke with Cinema Blend about Spider-Man 4. He clarified that they never auditioned actresses for villain roles. Raimi mentioned discussing the Vulture with John Malkovich, but the film ultimately didn’t move forward. This seems to dismiss long-standing rumors that either Black Cat or a new female villain called “Vulturess” would appear in the canceled sequel, despite previous hints to the contrary.
Jason Momoa is set to play Lobo, the alien bounty hunter known for his distinctive, almost spray-painted appearance. Momoa seems thrilled about the role, and in an interview with ScreenRant about his upcoming film with Dave Bautista, The Wrecking Crew, he expressed hope that he’ll be able to continue playing Lobo in future projects.
