What happens when storytelling moves beyond the screen?When does an audience stop watching a story—and start living inside it?In this episode of The Artists Podcast, we are joined by Vicki Dobbs Beck, one of the pioneers of immersive storytelling.As the former Vice President of Immersive Content Innovation at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Vicki has helped shape groundbreaking experiences across Disney, Lucasfilm, Marvel, and emerging technologies, while collaborating with leading technology companies including Meta. Recognized by Variety as a Digital Innovator to Watch, she has spent her career exploring the intersection of storytelling, technology, and human experience.Together, we explore one of the defining questions of our time:How do we move from storytelling to storyliving?What is the fundamental difference between the way Hollywood studios and technology companies think? How will AI, XR, spatial computing, and immersive media reshape the future of narrative? And what does it mean to build stories that audiences don't just watch—but inhabit?Whether you're a filmmaker, storyteller, technologist, creative entrepreneur, or simply curious about the future of entertainment, this conversation offers a rare glimpse into where storytelling is headed.⏱️ Chapters01:41 Storytelling vs Storyliving07:00 The fundamental difference between how a studio and a tech company approach storytelling09:30 How do technology companies think?10:20 Why finding original stories is becoming increasingly difficult11:20 Working with Alejandro G.

Tucker Carlson has spent the past few days doubling down on his break with Donald Trump and the Republican establishment, while pushing both his independent media projects and his idea of a new, anti‑war political force. The most prominent new development is his extended interview with Mishal Husain, released by Bloomberg and transcribed by SingjuPost, where Carlson attacks Trump over the Iran war and U.S. policy toward Israel. In that conversation, he accuses Trump of being “weak,” says Israel is steering U.S. foreign policy to America's detriment, and argues that the Iran conflict has “gravely hurt the United States.” He also predicts that Republicans will get “spanked” in the upcoming midterms because they have abandoned voters in favor of foreign entanglements, and describes the GOP as a party that no longer represents its base. At the same time, outlets like Responsible Statecraft and IsraelPalestineNews.org report that Carlson is now openly promoting the creation of a third, anti‑war political party or “third force.” He says he has left the Republican Party, does not plan to run for office himself, but wants to help build a coalition that unites disaffected conservatives and progressives around opposition to endless wars and high military spending, and a renewed focus on domestic economic issues. On the media front, recent coverage from the Washington Post, New York Times, and industry publications such as Variety and the Hollywood Reporter emphasizes that Carlson is continuing to expand his independent “Tucker Carlson Network” model. He is leaning on long‑form interviews and direct‑to‑audience distribution, adding episodes that target topics like U.S. surveillance technology and Christian Zionism. Substack posts and commentary note his recent segments attacking AI‑driven license plate readers and broader surveillance infrastructure, portraying them as a serious threat to civil liberties. These moves are generating intense reaction. Progressive and Jewish advocacy groups, including CAMERA, have criticized Carlson for platforming figures who advance hostile narratives about Jews and for spreading distortions about Christian Zionism and Israel. Meanwhile, conservative commentators like Victor Davis Hanson are publicly debating his sharp turn against Trump and Israel, arguing that Carlson is misreading both the U.S.–Israel relationship and the strategic situation with Iran. Politically focused outlets such as Politico and Axios continue to treat Carlson as a significant, if polarizing, force in the 2026 GOP primary environment. They point out that, even after leaving Fox News, his interviews and monologues are still widely circulated in right‑wing media, shaping activist talking points on foreign policy, immigration, and distrust of U.S. institutions. At the same time, legal and contractual disputes with Fox have largely faded from the headlines, with no major new filings or public clashes emerging in the past few days.

Are superfoods really "super," or is the term mostly marketing? In this episode, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Shelley Rael explores the differences between superfoods, functional foods, and nutraceuticals and explains why these terms are often misunderstood. Learn why foods like berries, salmon, oats, yogurt, nuts, coffee, and tea can all support health without needing a special label. This episode also discusses why no single food can offset an overall eating pattern, the role of supplements, and why focusing on nutrient-dense foods and variety is a more practical approach than chasing the latest nutrition trend. If you've ever wondered whether you should spend more money on the newest "superfood," this episode is for you. Read More: Superfoods, Functional Foods, and Nutraceuticals: Do They Really Matter?

Hey, Comedy Lovers! ✤ Welcome to "Ian Lara" ⭐ All advice is bad advice, please do adult things and put this podcast on in the background.
Paul Svensson (LI) came by the podcast and we spoke about how the hunt for flavour turned into a passion for regenerative farming and soil creation. We spoke of the transition from seeing difference as a problem to seeing it as an opportunity. We spoke of how good soil is the precondition for good food. How an obsession of data revealed how he (and we all) need to really fundamentally rethink how we eat and grow our food. Paul is on a mission to educate through letting people taste what regenerative tastes like. This was a truly inspiring, hands on conversation about Pauls work at Rosendahls trädgårdar and a look into how an award winning, competitive, michelin star chef found a different relationship to food. Enjoy! Links: website , Moose Island Garden.

New York Times bestselling author Jessica Knoll spoke with us about her career trajectory from magazine editor to novelist and screenwriter, the allure of dark romance, and her latest erotic thriller, HELPLESS. Jessica Knoll is the New York Times bestselling author of Bright Young Women, The Favorite Sister, and Luckiest Girl Alive — now a major motion picture on Netflix starring Mila Kunis. She adapted and executive-produced Luckiest Girl Alive for the screen.

Her latest novel, Helpless, was named a New York Times, Oprah Daily, Crime Reads, Town & Country, and Bookpage Most Anticipated Book. Booklist described Helpless as “[A] taut contemporary tale of the explosive reunion of two former lovers… Knoll's twisty tale of psychological suspense, with its exploration of a nuanced relationship with elements of submission and control, will get readers talking.” And the New York Times Book Review wrote, “Knoll is the author of really unsettling thrillers… [Helpless] is like Misery but with your ex.” Before writing fiction, Knoll built a career in editorial journalism, serving as a senior editor at Cosmopolitan and as articles editor at Self magazine.

In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we explore the variety of neurodiversity. I’ve been staying with friends over the past few weeks, including Lucas, who is nearly 12. He is autistic, and after spending time trawling through the Gentle Rebel Podcast episode archive, we had a chat about topics he thought would be good to explore. One of those topics was what he described as “the variety of neurodiversity”. When I asked what that meant to him, and why he felt that was an important thing to discuss, he said that it’s important to realise that not all neurodivergent people have the same needs or preferences. It can be frustrating for him when people make assumptions because of his autism, confusing one person’s experience as being true and applicable to everyone. It reminded me of the story I’ve told a few times on the podcast, when I shared that I love horror films and someone responded by saying it meant I wasn’t a highly sensitive person (HSP). Fortunately, I met a bunch of fellow HSP horror fans who were very grateful to discover they were not alone in that love and passion. It was a really nice reminder that we are all different. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to our natural variations, and while brains share characteristics across neurotypes, our needs, preferences, and tastes are a more complex mix of genetics, environment, and psychology. https://youtu.be/4xJmXtRoIlM 13 Questions I created a mini-zine for Lucas to answer some questions about this topic, which I share in the episode. He has given me permission to talk about his responses because we hope this can help people feel a bit safer and more confident being themselves, even if it makes them different. And for those listening who spend time with neurodivergent people, we hope this encourages them to see everyone as an individual rather than making assumptions that they would be the same as others they’ve met, or as themselves. I would also love to invite you to share your own responses to these questions. I’ve created a survey because I’d be really interested in gathering a variety of responses and getting a sense of the variety of neurodiversity. Can you remember a time when someone assumed something about you because you were autistic? What did they get wrong? Before moving to be educated at home, Lucas had noticed adults assuming that he was like the other autistic children at the school. The teachers assumed he found it difficult to learn, but in Lucas’s case, he found it difficult to be at school. Having spent a lot of time with the family over the past five years, I’ve seen this radical shift as he has transitioned from that institutional school setting to home-based education and is absolutely blossoming. In a way, it feels frustrating that the teachers who had all but written him off through those assumptions will likely never see it. He loves learning, is a sponge for knowledge, and embraces the joy of connecting the dots across a vast range of subjects. What do people tend to misunderstand most about neurodivergent people? “Sometimes people think we’re all the same”, Lucas replied to this one. “They assume that ADHD people are naughty, but actually our brains have so much to focus on so it’s hard to listen.” “Naughty” is a judgement based on the person making it (and the context they are in). In many situations not designed for different types of brains, when people are unable to focus, respond as expected, or do so at the correct speed, authority figures may ascribe intent to those actions. This underpins the disadvantage faced by those expected to play by rules that impose a heavy cognitive load. This can prevent them from functioning and flourishing in their natural way. Have people ever tried to help you in a way that actually made things harder? What did they do? I didn’t ask this question to make people with good hearts feel bad. But because it sits at the heart of much of this stuff, and I’ve heard countless stories of kids being ignored by those who think they know what’s best for them. Lucas described how his needs were ignored by the adults at school. We know about the role of differential susceptibility from the ever-growing body of research around environmental sensitivity. Vantage Sensitivity indicates that the more sensitive someone is, the more positively they are affected by a safe and supportive environment. Diathesis Stress shows that the more sensitive a person is, the more they’re negatively affected by stressful conditions. The school setting can be stressful for neurotypes with diverse sensitivities whose nervous systems don’t naturally fit the normalised environment. Do you know autistic people who are very different from you? How are they different? Lucas said yes to this because, for example, some autistic people he knows are more confident when speaking. Those whose brains function in similar ways still have different personalities, tastes, and abilities. It can be encouraging to see people with the same neurotype who are also different, because it inspires us to believe we’re not necessarily limited or restricted, especially when those limits or restrictions are imposed by unfair assumptions and unfavourable environments. Have you ever felt like you’re not autistic in the right way? If so, what makes you say that? Lucas wondered if his brain was too complex to be autistic, but when he learned about neurodiversity, he learned about differences and similarities in brain functioning. If you could design the perfect school or learning environment for yourself, what would it include? And what would it not include? Schools are such formative environments. And as we all know, they can leave a lasting imprint on the shape of our lives and our sense of self. “In a perfect environment”, Lucas said, “I would feel safe and there would be someone I trust”. Trust is a big word here because it is so easily eroded when people want others to comply and conform with societal norms. I don’t think I know anyone with a more astute and accurate BS detector than Lucas. It’s been refined by experiences of being coaxed into situations by adults who say things like, “You can trust me; you’ll enjoy it once you’re in there.” Accumulate enough such experiences, and it becomes very difficult to trust what authority figures say, especially when you don’t enjoy it once you’re in that overwhelming environment. Do you think other autistic people would want exactly the same things? Why or why not? “No, we’re all different. For example, some autistic people like quiet, but I like music and loud noises.” This is the heart of the variety of neurodiversity that inspired Lucas to highlight this topic. For one person, silence can be really distracting and create a lot of noise within them. For another person, silence is the only way they can focus and calm their mind. Lucas also noted that, from his experience, some things seem common across many autistic people. For example, “finding conversations tricky and we might need more time for things”. What is something important about you that has nothing to do with autism? It can be challenging to recognise things about ourselves that make us different from others. Lucas noticed things he has in common with his dad, who isn’t autistic. They both look similar. They both like music and silly jokes, and are very polite. He has a wonderful, vibrant imagination as well. There’s a joy to see whirring away. His was the mind behind The Spirit of The Cheese, where Jono (his dad) and I took direction and turned his vision into a reality. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dWSuB3WqEaE If someone met you for five minutes, what would they probably get wrong about you? “They might think I don’t speak”, was Lucas’s response to this. Familiar, I’m sure, to many of us, especially introverts and highly sensitive people who take time to pause and assess things before stepping into environments and situations. He continued, “I only really chat to people when they feel okay to talk to. When I know people are safe, I really like chatting to them.” This is the same for me. I can get lost in the flow of conversation. But on meeting me, people often assume I’m quiet, shy, or reserved. What do you wish people cared more about? Lucas’s response to this was a frustration with people caring so much about humans as being more special than everything else. He is passionate and knowledgeable about the natural world, and acutely aware of how damaging humans have been to it because of this underlying attitude of human exceptionalism. He added that he would also like to see neurodivergent people as people who matter. It occurs to me that both would make the world a better place, allowing everyone to see the impact of human exceptionalism. Not just on the environment but on humans themselves. It is part of what leads us to become more divided as a species. And it reinforces systems of inequality and individualistic habits of wealth hoarding. Likewise, when neurodiversity is treated in a way that doesn’t honour value and allow everyone to flourish in sync with their natural potentials, we diminish the richness of our collective human experience. I concur. That is something I wish people cared more about, too. If someone gives you advice, how do you decide whether it will work for you? Sometimes advice comes from people who, as we’ve talked about already, make assumptions that don’t apply to us. They might be speaking from a foundation that is different from who we are, what we care about, and what we think is important. Lucas said, “I think about whether I respect them, trust them, and know them.” Adding, “If I don’t like them, I might regret following their advice.” Have you ever been told “this works for autistic people” and thought, well, not for me? If so, what was it? Lucas returned to the question of silence versus loud noises. People assume that he should want things quiet because that’s how it is for some other autistic people, but he likes some loud noises. He also mentioned the context of going to a special school that said it was good for autistic people, but he still found it stressful, as he had with previous mainstream educational settings. Why do you think people like having a single answer that applies to everybody? I couldn’t help myself with this one. It’s a question that I’m fascinated by. It’s what drives my self-help exploration as well. Why do we try to universalise explanations and come up with grand theories of everything, rather than treating people as individuals, and situations and environments as places of unique potential, expression, history, and story? Lucas said, “It’s less work to think about”, which is a great response. It’s easier to imagine everyone as the same than to treat people as individuals. But what does this cost us? What does it prevent us from being able to do? How is it limiting us, not just as individuals, but as a society? A huge thanks to Lucas again for his thoughtful suggestion and great input on this topic. It has been such a joy putting this together. And I think we both hope it is helpful to anyone listening. Share your responses to the questions in this survey (it doesn’t matter who you are or your neurotype; the point is to hear stories from a variety of people!). There’s also an option to download and print the mini-zine if you’d prefer to write and draw by hand. Feel free to send me a photo when you’re finished!

Aramide Tinubu (Television Critic, Variety) and Kate Erbland (Editorial Director, IndieWire) join Reshma Gopaldas to discuss the upcoming Emmy nominations and what we hope to see. Erbland explains the voting process as we lead up to the nominations on July 8. We talk about the shows that have been largely ignored by the Television Academy, what shows you won't see being recognized, why The Bear has never belonged in comedy and why it might, for the first time, not see much Emmy recognition this round. Widow's Bay is a new entree on the table, and is pushing The Bear off the menu, with Matthew Rhys leading the horror comedy.This year marks a final bow for Outlander, Hacks, The Bear and more. Will Caitríona Balfe finally get the Emmy acknowledgement and accolades for her work over the last 10 years on Outlander? Patina Miller also ends her run on Raising Kanan and Tinubu says her work has been stand out, yet largely ignored. Erbland shouts out Kate O'Flynn for her turn in Widow's Bay. Rhea Seehorn and Karolina Wydra's work in Pluribus is sure to get recognition for their apocalyptic antics. Lisa Kudrow is back with The Comeback, and Euphoria gave its final bow, but did Zendaya's performance break through the challenges of the final season? The Pitt will also dominate the nominations, with Noah Wyle at the forefront. For limited series, Tinubu says Sarah Pidgeon is the sole reason why Love Story captivated everyone.Listen and let us know who you want to see get a nomination.Send us a text, let us know what shows and guests you want us to cover.

A hard wheat year can still teach Oklahoma producers something useful about risk, timing, and variety decisions. In this episode of the Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast, Dave Deken, Brian Arnall Ph.D., and Josh Lofton Ph.D. talk with Amanda Silva Ph.D., Oklahoma State University Extension small grains specialist, about the 2026 Oklahoma wheat crop. They discuss drought stress, scattered rainfall, early crop development, planting date decisions, test weight, wheat streak mosaic virus, and what variety trials can still tell farmers in a difficult year. Key takeaways: Rain timing drove much of the difference between fields, even within the same county. Earlier crop development, warm winter conditions, and a cooler grain-fill period shaped yield and test weight outcomes. Planting date can be used as a risk-management tool, especially when paired with different maturity groups. Wheat variety trials are still valuable in stressful years, but researchers must carefully judge data quality, CV, blocks, and field variability. OSU research continues on late-planted wheat, seeding rates, nitrogen management, forage production, coleoptile length, and deeper planting to chase moisture. Detailed timestamped rundown 00:00–02:14 — Intro and setup Dave opens Episode 514 by framing the conversation around the Oklahoma wheat crop and why a hard year can still shape decisions for future crops. He also promotes the Summer Crop Demo Day near Chickasha and introduces Brian Arnall Ph.D., Josh Lofton Ph.D., and guest Amanda Silva Ph.D.02:17–06:19 — Field-tour context and statewide wheat observations The group talks about seeing wheat across Oklahoma through field tours, Oklahoma Wheat Commission work, and research stops from Apache and Greenfield to the Panhandle and northeast Oklahoma. Dave notes how seeing the crop in person gave a fuller picture than just looking at numbers.06:27–09:10 — A hard, variable wheat season Silva describes the season as one of the hardest since she started at OSU. She explains that southwest and western Oklahoma were especially rough, while some locations saw enough rain to produce pockets of better wheat. Rainfall patterns created major differences, even between fields in the same county.09:11–12:02 — Stand establishment, planting timing, and grain fill Josh compares the wheat variability to what he saw in canola. Silva and Arnall discuss how some locations benefited from earlier establishment, while others struggled with stands and canopy closure. Cooler weather during grain fill likely helped preserve some grain quality and test weight.12:04–15:17 — Why wheat matured early Arnall asks why wheat was running ahead of schedule across a broad region. Silva points to warm late-winter and early-spring temperatures that moved the crop through growth stages quickly. The group also compares how those conditions affected canola and freeze risk.15:17–17:40 — The critical period for yield Silva explains that the jointing-to-flowering period is especially important because key yield components are being set. Moisture or stress during that window can strongly shape final yield.17:45–20:35 — Diversifying planting dates Arnall raises the idea of spreading planting dates as another form of risk management. Silva agrees that stacking planting dates could help, especially when combined with different variety maturities. She clarifies that “early” for grain-only wheat may still mean mid-October, not September.20:36–23:53 — Dusting in wheat and chasing moisture Dave asks when dusting in becomes worth the risk. Silva explains that farmers and researchers both have acreage and time constraints, and sometimes planting dry is a practical choice. The group also discusses deeper planting, coleoptile length, and whether Oklahoma could learn from dryland systems in the Pacific Northwest and Australia.23:54–28:13 — How much water does wheat really need? Dave asks whether researchers can determine a minimum moisture requirement for wheat in a controlled setting. Arnall and Lofton explain why lab or pot-study answers do not always translate well to field decisions because soil, temperature, humidity, wind, rooting environment, and other factors change the outcome.29:09–32:19 — Silva's research program Silva outlines current OSU wheat work, including planting date, variety maturity, nitrogen management in late-planted wheat, seeding rates, forage response, grazing recovery, nitrogen uptake, protein, and nitrogen-use efficiency. She notes new forage-focused seeding-rate work at El Reno and possibly Chickasha.32:20–36:47 — Variety trials and disease pressure The group discusses OSU's wheat variety trial network, the number of varieties being evaluated, and the inclusion of irrigated wheat work in the Panhandle. Silva notes wheat streak mosaic virus pressure in irrigated plots and explains that water alone does not remove the impact of disease.36:48–45:45 — How researchers judge trial data Arnall asks Silva and Lofton to explain how they decide whether trial data is trustworthy. They discuss CV, blocks, reps, averages, plot-by-plot review, field notes, drone imagery, canopy gaps, and the challenge of publishing fair comparisons when field variability is high.45:46–49:10 — Lessons from a stressful wheat year Silva's big takeaway is the resilience of wheat and Oklahoma producers. The group points out that hard “scientist years” can reveal useful information about stress tolerance, variety response, and management, even when they are not the years producers hope for.

We're celebrating 450 episodes with a look at TWO movies this week: The late 2010s yeti two-punch of Smallfoot and Abominable! Join in as we discuss the odd surfeit of yeti films, sort-of-Chinese animation studio Pearl Animation, plot-essential billboards, and of course "Zendaya is Meechee." Plus: Why was Abominable banned throughout Southeast Asia? Why is Sarah Paulson's character pretending to be British? How are Smallfoot's Stonekeepers chosen? And, most importantly, which of these movies is less bad? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe! Next week: Happy Together (1997)----------------------------------------------------Key sources and links for this episode:Interview with Smallfoot director Karey Kirkpatrick (Collider)"Sony ImageWorks Provides Big Effects, Animation for Warner's Smallfoot" (Post Perspective)"Smallfoot: Singing with Sasquatch and Friends" (Animation Magazine)"'Zendaya is Meechee' is a Post-Vine Vine" (New York Times)"Oriental DreamWorks Rewrites its Chinese Production Strategy" (Variety)"Abominable: A DreamWorks Movie, a Map, and a Huge Regional Row" (BBC)

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 26, 2026 is: symbiosis sim-bee-OH-sis noun Symbiosis is a formal word that refers to a relationship between two people or groups that work with and depend on each other. In biology, symbiosis refers to the relationship between two different kinds of living things that live together and depend on each other. // The new playground is the result of symbiosis between multiple stakeholders, including residents, donors, and town officials. // The bacteria exist in symbiosis with the plant's roots. See the entry > Examples: “In the old days, which weren't that long ago ... there was that ritual moment when a rock ‘n' roll idol, in the midst of delivering a classic anthem, would point the mic away from himself and into the arena, indicating that it was time for the audience to take over and sing the lines. It might be Springsteen doing ‘Thunder Road,' or Madonna doing ‘Holiday.' ... The loving symbiosis of pop star and pop audience doesn't get much more reverent than that.” — Owen Gleiberman, Variety, 7 May 2026 Did you know? Symbiosis was adopted by the scientific community in the late 1800s, coming ultimately (via German) from the Greek symbíōsis, meaning “living together, companionship.” Of course, there are a lot of ways to live together and, accordingly, several flavors of symbiosis. When a biological symbiosis between two organisms is mutually beneficial, it is termed mutualism. For example, oxpeckers are birds so named because they “peck” ticks off of infested cattle and wild mammals, a likely satisfying arrangement for both parties, and textbook mutualism. When one organism lives off another at the other's expense, however (as, for one icky instance, head lice do), it's called parasitism. If only parents of elementary school students could call upon an equivalent of oxpeckers to engage in mutualistic symbiosis when the need arose, but alas.
ByteDance just unveiled Seedance 2.5, a new state-of-the-art AI video model with 30-second one-shot generations, as American AI stalls out and Fable 5 stays down. This week on AI For Humans, China is not just catching up in AI, it is pushing the edge. We break down everything Seedance 2.5 can do and why a 30-second single-pass clip is a real leap, then dig into the American slowdown as Fable 5 stays unusable and the rumor mill points to a big delay week. Plus Theo Von's surprisingly intense anti-datacenter rant, OpenAI's claim that China is behind the anti-datacenter conversation, Meta leaking private employee data across the entire company, and Google teaming with A24 on a 75 million dollar AI filmmaking partnership. We close with AI that actually works, including how Gavin used beehiiv's MCP to build a newsletter survey and Kevin's homemade language-learning app. CHINA IS COOKING. AMERICA IS LOADING.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Everyone's forgotten Peter Parker…or have they? Sony gave us a second full trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the interwebs are buzzing about it. We get longer looks at Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk and Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle/Punisher in the film, as well as allusions to the big bad of the movie - though Tom Holland recently said on the press tour that the antagonist has not been figured out yet by fans. Films continue to top each other's openings at the box office this year, with Toy Story 5 having the current title of best opening of the year to the tune of $160 million domestically over the Father's Day weekend. This was also the all-time best opening for the 30-year-old franchise. Disclosure Day took second place this weekend, though Toy Story practically beat its global take in the states alone, and Obsession and Backrooms continue their strong streaks coming in at third and fourth respectively.Universal and Blumhouse's Atomic Monster are jumping on the Curry Barker bandwagon having acquired the young director's third film in a reported eight figure deal. While Universal has been backing Barker, both Obsession and his upcoming film Anything But Ghosts are coming from Focus Features. Blumhouse has produced those same films, but this new move puts the horror powerhouse in a stronger position for film development. To tag onto the box office talk and remind you, Obsession was made for $750,000 and has now made more than $300 million worldwide - making it a tantalizing prospect for Blumhouse.Netflix has opted not to proceed with a second season of The Boroughs, a sci-fi TV series executive produced by Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers. The series debuted its first season last month. Universal and Imagine Entertainment are developing a sequel to 2000's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, with Jim Carrey in talks to reprise his role as the classic Dr. Seuss character the Grinch and Ron Howard returning to direct. Manny Jacinto, Emily Mortimer, and Thomasin McKenzie have joined the Season 3 cast of Prime Video's Fallout in recurring roles. In a new interview with Collider, Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri revealed that Star Wars creator George Lucas was cast in a small voice part in the upcoming Minions and Monsters because Lucas is a longtime fan of the Despicable Me franchise. Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley is reteaming with Keanu Reeves for a live-action hybrid Lego movie that Cooley will direct and Reeves will star in according to Deadline. Netflix has won the rights to develop Alix E. Harrow's best selling novel The Everlasting and will enter production on a series adaptation immediately according to Variety. The Everlasting is a time loop fantasy novel and was one of the best selling books of last year.Universal Pictures has announced that the next Illumination animated film will be Not Alone, an alien movie starring Timothée Chalamet & Selena Gomez which will release in April of next year. Dylan Clark's reboot of The Blair Witch Project for Lionsgate has landed a release date of September 24, 2027.Legendary has announced that a live action Magic School Bus movie is officially in the works with Elizabeth Banks set to play Ms. Frizzle. Detective Pikachu and Goosebumps director Rob Letterman will helm the feature.
