Walt Disney Studios debuted another trailer for Tron: Ares at D23 yesterday afternoon, and while it's yet to leak online in its entirety, we do have a brief glimpse at what's to come in the latest instalment in the groundbreaking sci-fi franchise (via SFFGazette.com).
The movie is a follow-up to Disney's 1982 seminal science fiction film Tron and its 2010 sequel, Tron: Legacy.
Many have questioned how wise it is to give Leto a lead role in a big budget movie after the critical and commercial response to Morbius. However, these few seconds of footage single him out as the lead and put the focus solely on the Oscar-winner as his character heads into The Grid.
"One of the highlights was working with Jeff Bridges. Oh god, he’s just the best," Leto previously said of his role in Tron: Ares. "I had one take where I had to literally say cut,...

Richard Gere began his professional film career in 1975, appearing in the crime thriller "Report to the Commissioner." In 1976 and 1977, he secured notable supporting roles in "Baby Blue Marine" and "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," before securing his first leading role in 1978's "Bloodbrothers," a coming-of-age drama about two Italian-American brothers living in the Bronx. That same year, Gere appeared in Terrence Malick's dreamy "Days of Heaven," more or less securing him as a permanent Hollywood fixture. Gere has been working steadily ever since, using his affable on-camera charm and approachable good looks to remain one of the industry's most reliable movie stars. His high-profile marriage to model Cindy Crawford in 1991 only added to the actor's status as a sex symbol.
Gere often takes roles that require more razzle-dazzle than deep acting range, but Gere has been nominated for Golden Globes and Emmys, and won a SAG Award, so he's no slouch as a thespian.

Bilal Hasna is transforming into Layla, the title drag queen in Amrou Al-Kadhi’s feature directorial debut.
“3 Body Problem” star Hasna leads “Layla,” which centers on an eponymous British-Palestinian drag queen in London who falls in love with an advertising executive (Louis Greatorex), all while navigating their identity around family and friends. Think a modern-day, queer take on “Romeo & Juliet.”
The British indie film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and later opened the BFI Flare: London Lgbtiq+ Film Festival. “Layla” also screened at the London Film Festival and Newfest.
Director Al-Kadhi previously worked as a drag performer before becoming a filmmaker. Al-Kadhi acted in Steven Spielberg’s “Munich,” “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” “The Souvenir: Part II,” and “American Horror Stories.” They helmed shorts “Anemone,” “Run(a)Way Arab,” “Clash,” and “Define Gender: Victoria Sin” before making their feature debut with “Layla.”

How do you evolve and bring back an event that more than a few critics had said might be past its prime? Leaning in hard on what originally made it great is a good start, especially when it’s topped with elements that feel decidedly right now. It also helps if the resulting combination feels simply joyful.
The Victoria’s Secret team, which last presented its signature fashion show in 2019, took its time to reconfigure the event in the face of plunging TV ratings and the impact of the #MeToo movement. But what was presented Tuesday night at Duggal Greenhouse at New York’s Brooklyn Navy Yard indeed felt celebratory, current and fully women-centric — not only on the runway and backstage, but also the front row, a guest list that included Cardi B, Jodie Turner-Smith and Queen Latifah.

Lupita Nyong’o says there was “fear” among Marvel executives surrounding the release of “Black Panther.”
The Oscar winner said during a BFI London Film Festival event (via The Hollywood Reporter) that Marvel leadership had a “lot of fear” over how the 2018 superhero film would land at the box office. “Black Panther” went on to be a blockbuster film and ignited a cultural movement. It won Academy Awards and spurred a sequel.
“There was a lot of fear, definitely from the executives,” Nyong’o said. “Marvel was shaking a little bit in their boots!”
She added, “We were too because we were like, we only get to do this once. And we gotta do it right.”

[Editor’s note: The following interview contains spoilers for Season 1 of “Bad Monkey,” including its ending.]
The finale of Apple TV+’s “Bad Monkey” kicked off with a shock: The Dragon Queen is dead. The opening moments showed the rest of last week’s confrontation between Gracie (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Eve (Meredith Hagner), with Eve shoving her, and a tree branch piercing through her chest, killing her.
“The Dragon Queen was a much different character in the book,” show writer and executive producer Matt Tarses explained to IndieWire. “She was an old woman and she was sort of pretty much evil;, didn’t have any redemptive qualities. And so early on, we wanted to make that character more nuanced. We made her younger, we gave her this kind of consciousness of a grandmother, in Ya-Ya. I love that character, and I love what Jodie Turner-Smith did with that stuff.”

Spoiler Alert: The story includes details about Episode 10 of Apple TV+’s Bad Monkey.
Season 1 of Bill Lawrence’s Apple TV+ crime series Bad Monkey, based on Carl Hiaasen’s novel, wrapped its run with a jam-packed finale that saw the demise of three main characters. Gracie, aka the Dragon Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith), died at the hands of Eve (Meredith Hagner), who also pushed her wheelchair-bound husband Nick (Rob Delaney) into the ocean. As the show continued to weave magic into reality, the Dragon Queen’s dying wish to Eve, “I hope you choke … on your lies,” basically came true as Eve choked on a baby carrot and then was pulled by an invisible force to the edge as she jumped off a building to her death after escaping to Portugal.

I bet a lot of you are watching AppleTV+’s Bad Monkey solely for Jodie Turner-Smith’s Dragon Queen. From her oozing style and sensuality to holding all the power over Andros, Smith’s character is almost the backbone of the show, despite getting a slow and steady build-up from start to finish. The big question the show poses is whether the Dragon Queen’s power, i.e., her magic, is real or not. In the latter half of the show, we get the hint that she herself believes she’s running an elaborate scam by using her Ya-Ya’s belief, and that she doesn’t actually possess any magical ability, in fact, she believes there is no such thing as magic. The Dragon Queen, also known as Gracie to those who know her well, is, in my opinion, a personification of the island itself. Andros is a powerful and...

She expressed frustration that Disney did not speak out against racist and mean comments aimed at the cast, especially her co-star Amandla Stenberg.
In a recent interview with Glamour Magazine, Turner-Smith stated, “Disney needs to stop being silent when people are aggressively attacked online with racism and abuse. It’s just not fair to say nothing. It’s really unfair.” Some fans accused “The Acolyte” of having a “woke” message, even before it was canceled. The show, set in the early years of the Star Wars universe, was ended by Lucasfilm after one season due to low viewership and mixed reviews. However, Disney did not comment on harassment of the cast during this time.

It's been two years since /Film's Ryan Scott articulated why it's high past time to stop letting a vocal minority of toxic fans ruin "Star Wars" ... and yet, as a protocol droid who's fluent in over six million forms of communication once observed, "Here we go again."
Say what you will either for or against Leslye Headland's live-action series "The Acolyte," but surely we can all agree: anyone and everyone who insisted the show is bad because it's "woke" or made racist, sexist, and/or homophobic comments about the cast and crew should take a cue from the death sticks guy in "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones" and go home to rethink their life. That extends to all those folks who review-bombed "The Acolyte" on Rotten Tomatoes because they were upset that the show's ensemble is primarily composed of women and/or people of color...

Jodie Turner-Smith, who played Mother Aniseya in The Acolyte, has called out Disney for not doing enough to defend the cast - particularly Amandla Stenberg - when they were targetted for online abuse.
Back in August, we got word that Lucasfilm/Disney would not be moving forward with a second season of the Disney+ Star Wars series, despite several major storylines and character arcs being left unresolved by the end of the season 1 finale.
The decision was met with a mixture of indifference and disappointment, but it's very clear that a lot of Star Wars fans - and some of the actors involved with the show - were surprised by this development.
The "official" reason for the show's cancellation was low/declining viewership, but many feel the intense backlash from a vocal minority may have factored into the decision. We may never know if this was the case, but Stenberg...

The Acolyte's Jodie Turner-Smith Slams Disney for Not Protecting Cast from Toxic Fans - Main Image
The Acolyte star Jodie Turner-Smith recently called out Disney for failing to protect the cast from online toxic fans.
The High Republic-set Star Wars series was unceremoniously canceled by Lucasfilm after airing its first season due to low viewership and divisive reception from fans and critics.
It also does not help that the cast has been the subject of hate and attack from online toxic fans as they accused the series of being "woke." It is not the first time that actors in Star Wars have experienced such a situation.

‘The Acolyte’ is Star Wars’ most recent installment, it’s also one of the worst installments in the long history of the franchise. Despite Disney investing around $160M in its development, the show turned out to be sub-par at best.
Its low viewership eventually led to its cancelation after a mere 8 episodes. Depending on who you ask, the show was canceled due to racism and misogyny.
At least this tends to be a common theme when it comes to online discussions regarding the show. During the show’s run, stars of the show primarily Amandla Stenberg who portrayed twins Osha and Mae, was allegedly targeted by racists.
She went as far as to write a song and self-publish it to strike back at them. Now Jodie Turner-Smith who portrayed Mother Aniseya blasted Disney for not answering to racists and critics of the shows.

The Acolyte is the latest installment in the Star Wars franchise, but it has been regarded as one of the weaker entries in the series’ long history. Despite Disney investing approximately $160 million in its production, the show ultimately fell flat.

Nicole Kidman might be the hardest-working actor in Hollywood, but does she currently have a fan-favorite show on both Disney+ and Netflix? Well, Joe Locke does. In addition to his turn in the witchy limited series “Agatha All Along,” the young actor reprises his role as Charlie, one-half of “Heartstopper’s” central couple, in the third season of Netflix’s queer coming-of-age drama.
