The character, as reported by Bloomberg, will be unveiled in “Grand Theft Auto VI” and be a co-lead for the central “Bonnie and Clyde”-esque storyline. She will also be of Latina descent. As Bloomberg reported, “Developers are also being cautious not to ‘punch down’ by making jokes about marginalized groups, the people said, in contrast with previous ‘Grand Theft Auto’ games.” “Grand Theft Auto VI” is anticipated to be released as part of developer Take-Two’s 2024 fiscal year after being in the works for almost a decade since 2014....

“It is an immense honor that ‘Hayao Miyazaki’ is the inaugural temporary exhibition at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures,” said Ghibli co-founder and producer Toshio Suzuki in a statement. “Miyazaki’s genius is his power of remembering what he sees.

In August 2018, after years of self-professed “unhealthy” living and a litany of symptoms that scared the hell out of her, actress Selma Blair received a startling diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.

Joaquin Phoenix’s Clown Prince of Crime is officially returning for Round 2, as director Todd Phillips, who steered 2019’s “Joker” to a Golden Lion victory at Venice and a Best Actor Academy Award for Phoenix, just posted about the sequel to Instagram. The working title for the new film? “Joker: Folie à Deux,” an appropriately pretentious title for the sequel to possibly the most pretentious comic book film ever made.
