George Lucas generally supported this understanding of the Force, often describing the dark side as a destructive, parasitic force – almost like a cancer. He explained that Anakin brought balance back to the galaxy by destroying the Emperor and defeating the dark side, seeing the light side as representing life and the dark side as death. This balance, he believed, meant the light side should prevail to allow the universe to thrive. However, Lucas later seemed to change his perspective.

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.
