Being an actor means losing out on many, many roles, especially when you are just starting out. Glen Powell knows this agonizing truth all too well. The actor was initially known for his role in Scream Queens (2015-2016), where he played Chad Radwell. However, he gained worldwide fame and recognition only after playing Hangman in Top Gun: Maverick (2022). He then went on to star in his own rom-com, Anyone but You (2023) opposite the gorgeous Sydney Sweeney.

We're more used to seeing Benny Safdie working behind the camera with brother Josh, but for his first solo film, he's certainly striking out with a fascinating subject. He has Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt (sound the Jungle Cruise reunion klaxon!) starring in The Smashing Machine, about mixed martial arts scrapper Mark Kerr. Studio A24 has released a first look at The Rock in the lead role, which you can find in full below…
Kerr was a two time Ultimate Fighting Championship Heavyweight Tournament Champion and World Vale Tudo Championship tournament winner. Over the course of his career, he won over two dozen Mma titles, while also struggling with addiction and his marriage even as he became an icon of the sport.
Johnson and Safdie originally discussed the film back in 2019, but it was put on hold when the pandemic hit. The pair didn't really stay in touch, but the...

Do you smell what The Rock is cooking? For the last decade-plus (at least post-Pain & Gain), Dwayne Johnson has been serving up four-quadrant blockbuster slop. Thankfully, he seems to be turning a new direction for The Smashing Machine, which marks the solo directorial feature debut for Benny Safdie after parting ways with his brother Josh Safdie, who’ll be going on to make his forthcoming Adam Sandler-led movie about the baseball trading card industry.
As for The Smashing Machine, with A24 kicking off production recently the first image has now dropped. The film, which marks a Jungle Cruise reunion for Johnson and Emily Blunt, captures the story of legendary Mma fighter Mark Kerr, who was afflicted with addiction and a rocky marriage with Dawn Staples (Blunt).

The Most Popular AI Celebrity Chat Bots Are Really Weird - Main Image
Meta recently rolled out an online chatbot app while utilizing AI technology, where users can interact with their preferred celebrities on multiple social media platforms. That said, here's why the most popular AI celebrity chatbots on Meta are weird.
Meta Launches AI Celebrity Chatbots
In September last year, Meta AI launched a brand-new AI experience across social media apps such as Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram.
Meta not only generates photorealistic images for any AI prompts for users within the U.S., but can also interact with 28 more AI chatbots based on prominent pop culture icons and influencers such as Snoop Dogg, Tom Brady, Kendall Jenner, and more.
While U.S. users can interact with various celebrities, there's a catch. These chatbots are not and do not accurately portray the original actors and influencers, but for good reason.

After the Disney annual shareholder meeting, Bob Iger went on a victory tour with some interviews. During the Q&a and proposal segments of the shareholder meeting, the same message came up a couple of times about Disney’s political leanings and messaging choices in entertainment. Then, on CNBC, an interview question about Disney being “woke” was brought up.
Here’s how Bob Iger responded:
..the term woke is thrown around rather liberally, no pun intended in that regard. I think a lot of people don’t even understand really what it means.”
According to Merriam-Webster, the term “woke” means to be “aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”
Dictionary.com defines “woke” as “having or marked by an active awareness of systemic injustices and prejudices, especially those involving the treatment of ethnic, racial, or sexual minorities.”

The recently released blockbuster movie Dune: Part 2 is becoming a massive success, and it does not look like this movie has any intentions to stop its string of earnings anytime soon. Kudos to filmmaker Denis Villeneuve for making this franchise a household name. Thanks to this success, a brand new Mmo video game based on the Dune franchise is also in the works.
This game would reportedly combine the elements of survival open-world games with Mmo mechanics. It’s being developed by Funcom. These are the same people who previously worked on games like Conan Exiles and The Park. While the fact that this new Dune title is on its way seems pretty exciting, there’s one crucial mechanic it would be missing.

It was almost 10 years ago when Warner Bros. Pictures released Edge of Tomorrow, a sci-fi thriller from director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) that starred Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Edge of Tomorrow was acclaimed at the time of its release as a more intelligent than usual, character-driven and kinetic sci-fi action movie. Yet the studio, producers, and director ended up fighting over the movie’s title before it was even released, a classic Hollywood marketing conundrum that may have hurt the film’s chances.
Cruise plays Maj. William Cage, a public relations officer for the military in a future where Earth is trying to stave off an alien invasion. Forced to accompany troops on a combat mission, Cage is killed—but finds himself reliving the same day over and over again afterward. Desperate to change the outcome, he realizes that his fate is tied to that of the heroic Sgt.

The future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise is leaning towards a more diverse, nostalgic, and culturally enriching path. Ubisoft sees the value of its take on the action stealth genre and means to push forward in a generation where the game space is oversaturated with multiplayer and battle royale games with a twist of their own, showing how well they can adapt to the times as their games adapt through time as well.
According to a leak reported by Insider Gaming, the following years for Ubisoft are going to be pretty busy which will surely satisfy the fans, if the leaks are true that is. Openly known for setting their games in specific periods in time, the developers got more and more creative as previous titles indicate like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey taking place in Greece, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in Norway, and the recent entry Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set at Baghdad.

The Beatles‘ “Let It Be” is one of the most beloved hit songs of the 1970s. Florida Georgia Line have every reason to try to mimic the song. One of Florida Georgia Line’s biggest hits has a chord progression that sounds like that of “Let It Be.” Interestingly, a member of Florida Georgia Line said the band’s fans had a strong response to the song in question.
A Florida Georgia Line song has a structure like The Beatles’ ‘Let It Be’ and other hits
Florida Georgia Line became famous for “bro country” songs like “Cruise” and “This Is How We Roll” that focus on sexy ladies, partying, beer, and trucks. Their love song “H.O.L.Y.” is a departure from that style. “H.O.L.Y.,” an acronym for “high on loving you,” is a ballad that blends spirituality with sensuality.
Rolling Stone reports that “H.O.L.Y.” uses a descending chord progression similar to The Beatles’ “Let It Be.

Looking at PVOD and Netflix charts this week reveals some significant findings.
The just-debuted “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One” tops all lists in its first week of release as assumed. That comes 90 days after its release. Did theaters benefit? Not really.
Netflix has a top 10 with eight studio titles, six from Universal, including #1 “Tammy” with Melissa McCarthy. But the big news here? “Fair Play,” last week’s #1 and a $20 million Sundance acquisition for the streamer, dropped off the list after only eight days.
Both suggest a result that could influence future decisions. For “Reckoning,” the hope was that delaying its initial home release 90 days would extend its theatrical run. That didn’t happen.
In the 30 days up to its PVOD release, it grossed less than $2 million in theaters. This year, only a handful of films have had a 60 days or longer window, most at close to that time.

Sunday Update: Paramount/Skydance’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One lit the fuse this weekend with a $235M global start. Of that, $155M is from 70 international box office markets which rep 93% of the offshore footprint (Japan is notably still to come).

There's no denying that "Rabbit Hole," the upcoming Paramount+ series which stars Kiefer Sutherland, is a thriller with a lot of twists and turns. But what not might be as expected is that the show, created by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, has plenty of funny moments, too.
"I was expecting all of the tentpole ideas of a good thriller, but the humor was just such a bonus," Sutherland told me in a recent interview. "And it wasn't complicated gag humor where you have to figure out how to fall down three flights of stairs and then jump up with a clown nose. This is a really sophisticated, sarcastic, charming kind of humor."
That charming humor is paired with some mind-boggling twists, where almost every episode ends with reveals which completely flips the table on any assumptions you might have had about what is going on. I talked with Sutherland...

"You and a friend or loved one are headed for two weeks of sun and sand with Aloha Voyages." Don't pick up the phone! You never know what might happen if you hang up on the sales person calling. Cruise is a hilariously twisted, dark satire short film from Canada, now available to watch online. It played on the film festival circuit throughout most of 2022, stopping by Fantasia, Fantastic Fest, Seattle, and the London Short Film Festival. It also won the Jury Award for Best Canadian Short at the Calgary Underground Film Festival, and Best Horror Short at the Cinefantasy Festival. Cruise is a dark workplace satire about a telemarketer trying mightily to give away a free cruise. If he doesn't make a sale, well, this will be his very last job in sales – I can say that much. Starring Simon Pond, Chad Andrews, and Ray James as the Executioner.
