It’s a notably tough time to work in Hollywood—that’s, apparently, except you’re an government tasked with rebooting once-successful films and TV reveals. For these varieties, enterprise is booming: Virtually every bit of pop-culture-defining media from the aughts has been resurrected just lately, from Gilmore Women to Intercourse and the Metropolis to The L Phrase. So, possibly it’s solely pure {that a} sequel to a bit of 2006 movie by the identify of The Satan Wears Prada is reportedly within the works at Disney.

The plot will allegedly observe Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly, legendary editor of Runway journal, as she “navigates her profession amid the decline of conventional journal publishing and faces off towards Blunt’s character, now a high-powered government for a luxurious group with promoting {dollars} that Priestly desperately wants.” Hmm, a film about how there’s no cash left in digital or print media? Appears like one thing I can actually escape into!

As a lot as I’ve loved my many hungover Sunday-morning rewatches of The Satan Wears Prada through the years, I’ve to confess that I don’t see lots of my expertise at Vogue—or another ladies’s media publication I’ve labored for—mirrored in it. Largely, it is a superb factor, though I’m not going to lie: I want the notion of simply “popping into the closet” and popping out with Manolos in each colour of the rainbow had been actual. (Don’t cry for me, although; I haven’t paid for candles in 5 years.)

Nonetheless, I nonetheless take solace within the few films and TV reveals that do seize at the very least half of the fashion-girlie expertise. If the powers that be at Disney know that’s good for them, they’ll revisit these and take be aware:

Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and James Cameron are amongst those that have paid tribute to lauded producer Jon Landau, who died Friday on the age of 63.

The Avatar sequel is the third highest grossing movie of all time, with Titanic — the primary movie to interrupt $1 billion on the field workplace globally — rating at Quantity 4 (Avatar sits at Quantity One and Avengers: Endgame is Quantity Two).

“His energy in life was realizing the significance of household, at residence and at work,” Winslet continued. “He was all the time stuffed with smiles and gratitude. I can’t consider I’m scripting this, can’t consider he’s gone.”

“I labored with Jon Landau for 31 years and I by no means noticed him downcast as soon as,” Cameron mentioned. “He led with a steadiness of humor and fierce will, and true pleasure within the work.”

Landau’s profession started within the Eighties as a manufacturing supervisor, and he step by step rose by the ranks, serving as a co-producer on “Honey I Shrunk the Youngsters” and “Dick Tracy.”

He took on the producer position on “Titanic,” Cameron’s costly epic concerning the notorious 1912 maritime catastrophe. The wager paid off: “Titanic” grew to become the primary film to cross $1 billion in international box-office earnings and went on to win 11 Oscars, together with greatest image.

“I can not act and I can not compose and I can not do visible results, so I assume that is why I am producing.” Landau mentioned whereas accepting the award with Cameron.

Their partnership continued, with Landau changing into a high govt at Cameron’s Lightstorm Leisure. In 2009 the pair watched as “Avatar,” a sci-fi epic filmed and proven in theaters with groundbreaking 3D expertise, surpassed the box-office success of “Titanic.” It stays the top-grossing movie of all time.

Its sequel, “Avatar: The Approach of Water,” is third on the record.

“Your knowledge and assist formed so many people in methods we’ll at all times be thankful for,” Zoe Saldaña, one of many stars of the “Avatar” franchise, mentioned in an emotional tribute on Instagram. “Your legacy will proceed to encourage us and information us in our journey.”

Landau has been a key participant within the “Avatar” franchise, which noticed frequent delays of the discharge of “The Approach of Water.” Landau defended the sequel’s progress and Cameron’s bold plans to movie a number of sequels without delay to maintain the franchise going.

“Loads has modified however rather a lot hasn’t,” Landau instructed The Related Press in 2022, just a few months forward of the sequel’s launch. “One of many issues that has not modified is: Why do folks flip to leisure right this moment? Identical to they did when the primary ‘Avatar’ was launched, they do it to flee, to flee the world wherein we reside.”

“Jon was a visionary whose extraordinary expertise and keenness introduced a number of the most unforgettable tales to life on the massive display screen. His outstanding contributions to the movie business have left an indelible mark, and he will likely be profoundly missed. He was an iconic and profitable producer but an excellent higher particular person and a real power of nature who impressed throughout him,” Alan Bergman, Disney Leisure co-chairman, mentioned in an announcement.

Landau was named an govt vice chairman of characteristic motion pictures at twentieth Century Fox when he was 29, which led him to supervise main hits together with “Dwelling Alone” and its sequel, in addition to “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “True Lies,” the place he first began working intently with Cameron.

The group is chanting. The twin emperors of Rome are thirsty for blood. Step again into the coliseum, girls and gents, it’s time for wonderful fight.

After a bunch of teaser photos and previews have been launched over the previous few weeks, the primary trailer for Gladiator II is out this morning and it’s completely gorgeous. I’ve not been this hyped for a film about Rome because the first trailer for the unique Gladiator dropped practically 25 years in the past. (I’ve truly bought that movie in 4K Blu-ray format to observe once more for the primary time in years earlier than the sequel comes out).

The sequel to Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix’s epic historic drama picks up years after the primary film, and follows Lucius (Paul Mescal) the son of Lucilla (Connie Nielsen) and nephew to the primary movie’s villain, Commodus (Phoenix).

Lucius was a boy in that movie, performed by Spencer Deal with Clark. His mom shipped him off to Africa and out of Rome’s clutches, however he has returned within the sequel as a gladiator the place he meets the highly effective and scheming Macrinus (Denzel Washington) and Normal Marcus Acacius, who as soon as served below Normal Maximus (Crowe).

Right here’s the trailer:

This seems each bit as epic and grand as the primary movie, with an much more star-studded forged. Mescal, a younger Irish actor, is the least well-known among the many leads however director Ridley Scott grew to become a fan of his after watching Regular Folks. Apparently the 2 solely spoke for half an hour earlier than Scott determined to forged him. Mescal additionally starred in Aftersun, which obtained rave evaluations and only in the near past landed on Netflix.

In response to an interview with Self-importance Honest, Pascal discovered the battles within the film a problem to movie. “It’s brutal, man. I name him Brick Wall Paul,” he stated of his co-star. “He bought so robust. I might slightly be thrown from a constructing than must combat him once more. To go up in opposition to anyone that match and that gifted and that a lot youthful…. Outdoors of Ridley being a complete genius, Paul is a giant motive as to why I might put my poor physique by means of that have.”

Mescal stated he didn’t wish to practice to appear like an underwear mannequin, specializing in combat choreography as a substitute: “I simply needed to be large and robust and appear like anyone who could cause a bit of injury,” he instructed Self-importance Honest.

Nielsen, who reprises her function as Lucilla, stated of Pascal, “What a present that man is. Even to play with, to work with, I simply completely love him, and he’s so good for this function. He’s a type of uncommon actors who actually has coronary heart, soul, and on the similar time this unimaginable present of transformation.”

Rounding out the forged are Fred Hechinger (Thelma) as Emperor Caracalla and Joseph Quinn (Stranger Issues) as Emperor Geta. The 2 come off as slightly unhinged within the trailer.

For his half, Scott says this sequel means an awesome deal to him particularly after giving up the prospect to direct so lots of his different classics. “I imply, I ought to have accomplished the sequels to Alien and to Blade Runner. You alter over time. At the moment, I didn’t wish to undergo it once more.” James Cameron ended up directing the sequel to Alien and Dune director, Denis Villeneuve, directed Blade Runner 2049. Again within the 80s, as a newcomer, “I used to be by no means instructed or requested. You possibly can think about I wasn’t completely happy.”

The one factor I’m not pleased with on this trailer is the bizarre inclusion of hip-hop music, which I can solely assume is a few advertising and marketing exec’s brilliant thought to attraction to the youthful demographic, loads of whom weren’t born when the unique got here out. It doesn’t work.

Gladiator II opens in theaters on November twenty second. Together with Deadpool & Wolverine, that is one in every of my most-anticipated movies within the again half of 2024.

LONDON –

Prime-seeded Jannik Sinner was handled by a coach and left the courtroom throughout the third set, seemingly surged within the fourth after which faltered once more within the fifth, ultimately dropping to Daniil Medvedev 6-7 (7), 6-4, 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-3 within the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Tuesday.

After getting damaged by 2021 U.S. Open champion Medvedev to fall behind 2-1 within the third, Sinner requested medical consideration and leaned again in his chair. He rested his head in a hand at one level whereas talking with the coach earlier than they headed towards the locker room.

Throughout a later changeover, Sinner draped a towel over his head. Whereas he did regain his typical verve, notably on his booming forehand, and pushed the match to a fifth set — the thirty sixth this fortnight and essentially the most at any Grand Slam event within the Open period, which dates to 1968 — Sinner couldn’t recover from the road.

“He was not feeling that good…after which he began enjoying higher,” Medvedev mentioned.

Medvedev started discovering the area to ship extra winners, compiling 13 within the closing set alone, and broke for a 3-1 lead, then held for 4-1 and was on his approach again to the semifinals and a rematch towards Alcaraz.

Within the ladies’s quarterfinals, Donna Vekic reached the ultimate 4 at a significant for the primary time in her forty third Slam, defeating qualifier Lulu Solar 5-7, 6-4, 6-1. Vekic, a 28-year-old from Croatia, contemplated quitting the game on a number of events — together with as not too long ago as proper earlier than the French Open started in Might.

“I did not have any power, any motivation to maintain training, hold pushing, as a result of I felt just like the final couple months I’ve given every thing for tennis, and I wasn’t getting the outcomes that I sort of anticipated,” Vekic mentioned.

“Now I am the semifinals,” Vekic mentioned. “Not simply in tennis, (however) in life, issues can flip fairly quick.”

She now faces No. 7 Jasmine Paolini or No. 19 Emma Navarro, who had been scheduled to play one another later Tuesday.

Sinner was a Wimbledon semifinalist a yr in the past and carried a nine-match profitable streak into Tuesday, together with a grass-court title at Halle, Germany, final month. He moved as much as No. 1 within the ATP rankings, changing Novak Djokovic there, on June 10 after attending to the semifinals on the French Open.

His exit follows that of the No. 1 ladies’s seed, Iga Swiatek, within the third spherical. It’s the first time since 2018 that each the highest girl and prime man are gone from Wimbledon earlier than the semifinals. That yr, Roger Federer misplaced within the quarterfinals, and Simona Halep within the third spherical.

Medvedev had misplaced his 5 most up-to-date matches towards Sinner, together with within the remaining of the Australian Open in January. That day, Medvedev took the primary two units, earlier than Sinner clawed all the way in which again to win in 5 for his first Grand Slam title.

That outcome dropped Medvedev’s profession document in main finals to 1-5. Now he is one victory from a seventh such look.
