A decade after “La Famille Belier,” which was remade as the Oscar-winning “Coda,” another comedy featuring protagonists with disabilities, “A Little Something Extra” has stormed the French box office. It’s not only the year’s biggest hit so far, but the highest grossing French movie since before the pandemic.
Released May 1 by Pan Distribution and modestly budgeted at €6.1 million ($6.55 million), the feel-good movie (called “Un p’tit truc en plus” in French) has grossed an estimated €50.7 million ($54 million) from 7.2 million tickets sold as of June 16 — two times more than Warner Bros. tentpole “Dune 2” starring Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya.
It’s a mighty feat, considering that that unlike “La Famille Belier,” in which the deaf and speech-disabled characters are played by bankable European stars — Karin Viard and Francois Damiens — “A Little Something Extra” has an ensemble cast of young non-professionals with different types of disabilities.

In the magnetic universe of Hollywood, directors are obsessed with providing the audience with a real-time experience on screen. From different universes to blood-feeding creatures, filmmakers have used CG to create everything and anything. However, for some directors, the narrative is totally different; for them, practicality is above everything else.
In this list, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune 2 stand the tallest. Considering the box office success of these films, the directors clearly had a vision when they attempted to create stunning sets without using green screens.

Challengers
Smart, seductive and bristling with sexual tension, this is Luca Guadagnino’s most purely pleasurable film to date. As dynamic as the many tennis matches it depicts, the love-triangle drama pits the rivalry on the court of two former BFFs against their competing desire for a self-possessed woman whose hunger to win is not diminished by an injury that cuts short her own career. It helps that the chemistry of stars Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist is off the charts. — David Rooney
La Chimera
Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher’s invigoratingly strange and lyrical film revolves around a fascinating pocket community: the tombaroli, illegal grave-robbers who dig up Etruscan relics and make their money selling those antiquities to fences, who in turn sell them to museums and collectors for vastly larger sums. Josh O’Connor is superb in the central role of a haunted Englishman whom the tombaroli regard as a kind of mystic,...

Zendaya was on the move as she was photographed rocking a braless look at Sydney Airport in Australia earlier this year. The 27-year-old actress, who has been jetting around the world to promote her Challengers movie this year, was between press calls on April 1, when images published by The Daily Mail focused on her decision to forego a bra. When the newspaper shared airport photos of the former Disney star, it opened with Zendaya "[going] braless" in its headline, something that fans in the comments didn't appear to appreciate. One user even wrote that whether or not Zendaya chooses to go braless is her "business."

Halfway through the year, 2024’s top-grossing movie — by far — has been Dune: Part Two, with nearly $300 million at the domestic box office and over $700 million worldwide. Ironically, when Dune: Part One was released, the studio hadn’t even greenlit Part Two, waiting instead to see how the first film would fare at the box office. (Spoiler alert: It did just fine.)

“Bridgerton” alumnus Simone Ashley is happy that Shonda Rhimes’ hit Netflix show, now in its third season, continues to empower its viewers.
“It really has! I don’t think it’s that surprising – we are all strong women in this show. It was only natural it was going to happen, I think. We have strong women writers and they want to portray women in that [position of] power,” she tells Variety.
“This show is full of such joy.”
On Friday, Ashley received the International Golden Nymph for Most Promising Talent from Albert II, Prince of Monaco, at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, and took the opportunity to thank the “Bridgerton” team and the “many, many beloved fans.”
“This season is led by the phenomenally talented Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton. As I stand here, I can’t help but feel so excited for everything that’s ahead for them,” she said from the stage.

As we officially hit summer, Denis Villeneuve's 2024 sequel "Dune: Part Two" remains one of the best films of 2024. The way Villeneuve managed to translate Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel to the big screen was nothing short of extraordinary, and as anyone who has seen it will tell you, a big part of the reason for the movie's success is because of the truly gigantic sense of scope the filmmaking team was able to bring to the story. In a cinematic landscape where some high-profile blockbuster movies and TV shows are being shot on green screens or in The Volume, the "Dune" films' reliance on using as many practical effects as possible in camera is actually palpable, as opposed to merely a publicity talking point.

Zendaya dropped jaws with her tennis-inspired minidress in April. In photos promoting her Challengers movie, the 27-year-old actress continued the method dressing she's been making 2024 headlines for, showing off her lithe figure in a skimpy white dress and flaunting her long legs in high heels. Adding to the pile of designer outfits she's worn for the much-hyped movie's press tour, Zendaya this time chose Ralph Lauren, although with stylist Law Roach behind the looks, chances are the dress was picked by Luxury Law himself.

The 27-year-old actress, who boasts an ambassador status with the luxury jeweler, likely didn't have to pay for her purchases that day, but she did have to make do with a wave of shaming comments regarding her braless dress. Looking stylish in a chic, leggy minidress in gray, Zendaya flaunted her killer legs in a preppy daywear look, wearing black leather loafers as she carried a Louis Vuitton purse, but the hateful remarks were neither about the footwear nor the bag.

Olivia Colman is in line for another successful awards season as her guest performance in FX’s “The Bear” looks set to snag her another Emmy nomination. The FX on Hulu show follows Jeremy Allen White as a chef who leaves the world of fine dining behind in order to help run his family’s sandwich shop in Chicago.
The show is packed full of superb guest spots from major names, including Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Paulson, Will Poulter, and Bob Odenkirk. But it’s Colman who perhaps has the best guest spot. She plays British executive chef Terry, who works at Ever, the fine dining restaurant where Ebon Moss-Bachrach‘s Richie stages.

Colman Domingo is standing by “Euphoria” showrunner Sam Levinson.
The Oscar-nominated actor told GQ that despite Levinson’s rumored reputation for demanding long days on set and improvising “Euphoria” scenes, plus allegations of misogyny and Pa lawsuits during “The Idol” production, Domingo knows Levinson best for his “kindness and his generosity.”
“I know Sam very well, and I know his heart. I know his kindness and his generosity,” Domingo said. “People want to villainize him, for whatever reason, which I also think is very interesting, that people want to villainize someone who has been so open and honest about their own struggles with addiction and chooses to write about it so we can heal our hearts and ourselves.”
According to Domingo, while Levinson has been “misunderstood” by critics, he could not offer any details on the long-gestating Season 3 of Euphoria.

Julia Fox is running for public office for being the best dressed and most civically minded.
The multi-hyphenate talent and creator of E! reality series “Omg Fashun” exclusively told IndieWire that she was determined to showcase sociopolitical issues through garments in the series. Fox and Scout Productions pitched the competition show to NBC, billing it as “Chopped” meets “Project Runway” as contestants craft clothes using unusual items.
“It just doesn’t seem real, still,” Fox said of having her own series. “My whole thing is trying to support emerging talent in any way.

Casting actors in their late 20s or early 30s for high school roles was a standard procedure in Hollywood for years. But we’ve come a long way since, as in Euphoria, almost every actor looked the part, including Zendaya, who was 22 when she was cast in the role of Rue.
However, it has been five years since, and almost every major star from the show is currently in the latter half of their 20s, with some even evolving into huge A-listers in Hollywood. This further raised a query on the future of the next installment, but it appears, season 3 is still in the cards.

The desert aesthetic, epic explosions and battle scenes also reminded internet of Dune, which starred Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet. Kalki 2898 Ad is inspired by Hindu mythology, it contains similar elements that will draw in fans of Dune. The action, the scale, and the costume design do bear some resemblance.

Last week, a rumor from The Cosmic Circus suggested that Peter Parker will ultimately come up against two of his most iconic villains in the new Spider-Man trilogy that's said to be in the works from Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, and we may now know how these characters will make their return.
Just in case this is accurate, here's your spoiler warning.
It's said that the plan is to have Spidey encounter the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus again in the new movies, but that doesn't mean it'll be Norman Osborn and Otto Octavius! The site is now hinting that two other characters will assume these villainous mantles.
"I know many people are curious as to how exactly they will do Doc Ock and Green Goblin again when the time comes. I’d just like to let everyone know, the whole world was watching the final fight during No Way Home.

In 2012, The Amazing Spider-Man promised fans an "Untold Story," only for it to be very much the same as what we'd seen in Sam Raimi's movie.
While the trailers featured innovative Pov web-slinging scenes, those were largely absent from the finished product and what we did get proved largely underwhelming. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 upped the ante, though, delivering high-flying sequences more in line with Raimi's trilogy.
When Marvel Studios rebooted Peter Parker for the MCU, a great many changes were made to the character...including making him a "Friendly Neighbourhood" Spider-Man.
As a result, it wasn't until 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home that we got a true "final swing."
According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, the plan is for Spider-Man 4 to feature web-slinging sequences more in line with what we saw before Marvel Studios' trilogy. This will surely be music to Spidey fans' ears as it was sorely missing...

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune films are seen as technical masterpieces not only for the director’s unique vision in bringing Frank Herbert’s narratives to life, but also for the haunting score by one of the world’s prolific composers, Hans Zimmer. The musician’s soaring notes that brought the vast Arrakis sands to life, made viewers immerse themselves even more fervently into Herbert’s world.

The movies are in trouble. Or so we’re told frequently and often in the trades, on social media, and simply among industry gossipers convinced the sky is falling. In terms of ticket sales for conventional blockbusters, this summer is indeed off to a sluggish start. But if you focus only on the nickels and dimes, you likely are missing why you fell in love with movies in the first place.
And there’s been quite a bit to love, or at least respectfully admire, in the first half of 2024. While a few genuinely great blockbusters on this list have struggled, others have thrived. Perhaps more impressive though is the handful of indie and prestige films which have found healthy Gen Z and millennial audiences and (would wonders never cease) benefited from costing less than a cool quarter-billion or thereabouts to produce. Likely in part due to so many delays...

Zendaya showed off her figure and her appetite as she lounged around a pool terrace in 2023. In BTS photos from her Elle shoot, the Challengers actress stunned in a gown fit for the red carpet, but the vibe was more casual snacking as she posed with a carton of takeout fries next to her. The photo, which opened a gallery of leggy looks from the 27-year-old's shoot, was reposted to an Instagram fan account in the fall of that year, and fans went wild over the whole fries thing.

Zendaya showed off her figure and her appetite as she lounged around a pool terrace in 2023. In BTS photos from her Elle shoot, the Challengers actress stunned in a gown fit for the red carpet, but the vibe was more casual snacking as she posed with a carton of takeout fries next to her. The photo, which opened a gallery of leggy looks from the 27-year-old's shoot, was reposted to an Instagram fan account in the fall of that year, and fans went wild over the whole fries thing.

They have been collaborating since The Dark Knight trilogy, with the famed musician also lending his talent to Nolan’s other films such as Inception, Interstellar, and Dunkirk.
Hans Zimmer Shares Honest Thoughts About His Music Being Used In Crap Movies
During an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show, veteran composer Hans Zimmer talked about making music for crap films.
When you get a crap movie, it frees you. It lets you write the most wonderful things because you’re the only good thing happening.
He has worked with several movies from live-actions to animated ones, and he has a great portfolio under his belt. It’s not his fault,...

Miley Cyrus isn’t jaded about Hollywood, but she sure as hell isn’t going to take roles that don’t resonate with her.
The Grammy winner told W magazine that after more than five years away from leading roles, she is looking to return to acting. Cyrus most recently led a 2019 “Black Mirror” episode.
“So, I would like to act again. But the role would really need to be right,” Cyrus sad, “since it’s kind of hard for people to see past me and buy into a character. The character would either need to be an extension of myself, or someone — or something — with a personality that can conquer my own. I would need a character that is bigger than me.”
And presumably, not two characters. Cyrus began her career in iconic dual roles for “Hannah Montana” on the Disney Channel.
The former child star reflected on being a Disney alum,...

Before director Denis Villeneuve and production designer Patrice Vermette put their talents to work, "Dune" and "Dune: Part Two" were in danger of being a tad visually monotonous. With the first film in particular, there's only so much you can do aesthetically with a movie that takes place entirely on an arid, desert planet. Still, we did get a look at the Atreides' native planet of Caladan at the top of "Dune," which provided a nice counterpoint to the sepia hues that dominated the rest of the film. For the sequel however, Villeneuve not only ratcheted up the action, but gave us even more of a visual feast.
While "Dune: Part Two" was still somewhat of a bleak blockbuster, most of the gloominess came from the film's finale, in which Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) embraces his ascension to the Emperor's...

In Luca Guadagnino’s tennis thriller Challengers, stars Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor litigate their love triangle as much on the court as in the bedroom. As such, the sport has to stay interesting.
Guadagnino previously told Little White Lies he doesn’t like watching real tennis because it’s boring. “The way in which [the sport] is shown is rather undynamic,” he said. Challengers — punctuated by the camera’s near-constant frenetic motion — seems to be in part about rectifying this failing.
“Luca’s vision for this movie was making the tennis action generally very kinetic,” Challengers VFX director Brian Drewes tells The Hollywood Reporter. The camera sweeps above and below the court, jumping toward the subjects’ beautifully sweaty faces and buzzing with an immersive energy that took the internet and critics by storm upon the movie’s release. This kineticism reaches its peak at the end of the film, when the camera becomes the ball,...

TV's best and most passionate breakdowns are occasionally subtle and often legendary.
They're the culmination of the negative, the positive, or simply the need for upheaval in an otherwise flat character arc -- a self-destruction so piteous as to seem irredeemable.
Sometimes, this act affects others as well.
Naturally, the on-screen breakdown is the culmination of psychological stressors, whether self-induced or brought on by binge-watching The Brady Bunch Variety Hour.
It's often difficult to watch without empathy, especially in characters we've grown to love and even in some we love to hate.
After all, the most intense breakdowns are all too often close to home and personal to the viewers.
It's easier to empathize with Walter White's failure to find the money to pay Saul in Breaking Bad if you've ever misplaced a hundred-dollar bill in the couch cushions.
The closer a TV series parallels real life, the more we can empathize with the characters.

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two was the first big blockbuster of the year and led to a horde of new fans joining the fandom. The Timothée Chalamet starrer was based on Frank Herbert’s popular sci-fi novels and was the sequel of 2021’s Dune: Part One. The film also starred Stellan Skarsgård, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, and more.
While the film’s release led to many ‘Lisan-al-Gaib’ memes, nothing from the film went as viral as the infamous Dune popcorn bucket. The sandworm-shaped bucket was an object of ridicule from fans as well as the stars themselves. Ryan Reynolds recently released the Deadpool and Wolverine popcorn bucket as a joke, to which Villeneuve has responded.
