Forever, based on the book by Judy Blume, has arrived on Netflix. The series stars Lovie Simone as Keisha Clark, Michael Cooper Jr. as Justin Edwards, Xosha Roquemore as Keisha’s mother Shelly, Karen Pittman as Justin’s mother Dawn and more.

Created and produced by Mara Brock Akil, who also serves as executive producer and showrunner, the story captures so strongly the feelings of first love between Keisha and Justin. Fifty years after the publishing of Blume’s hit young adult novel in 1975, Brock Akil has reimagined the story, which traces how first love creates a ripple effect into their futures after they reconnect after grade school in 2018’s Los Angeles.

2024 was a soft hum for the industry, but this year is already off to an operatic start. How could Hollywood resist pushing a bunch of sequels down our throats? If last year was an appetizer, with Inside Out 2 and the Deadpool/Wolverine tag team, 2025 is arriving with far more plump (just look at what the Minecraft film was able to do) and impossible missions.

Superheroes are obviously back, as they have continued to do so for the last decade. James Gunn’s Superman will be figuring out life again, and with Marvel’s Phase V coming to an end with Thunderbolts*, the new Fantastic Four reboot will hope to erase the sour taste of its previous attempts.

Maybe this time they’ll get it right? Our fingers remain crossed. James Cameron, meanwhile, isn’t done with blue aliens either, and Avatar 3 will likely demand another three hours of your...

Instead of entering the world of videogame Tron, characters from the videogame will visit planet Earth in the next installment of the film franchise, Tron: Ares.

The latest updates on the film arrived at Disney’s D23 convention in 2024, and there’s still about a year to go before viewers can expect to see it in theaters.

For more details about the Tron: Ares release date, the cast and other plot points to expect, read on.

When will Tron: Ares come out in theaters?

Tron: Ares is slated for an Oct. 10, 2025 theatrical release date.

Has Tron: Ares gone into production?

Yes. The film went into production in January 2024, and it wrapped shooting in May.

Who is in the cast of Tron: Ares?

Jared Leto will star as highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who enters the real world from the digital world on a dangerous mission, marking humankinds first encounter with an Artificial Intelligence being.

Somehow, it's been 15 years since Tron Legacy burst onto the scene in a shower of neon lights and throbbing Daft Punk numbers, turning a decades-old pop culture oddity into a serious franchise tentpole seemingly overnight. But now, after a decade and a half off Grid, it's time to fire up the lightcycles once again for Joachim Rønning's Tron: Ares, a new chapter in the franchise that's set to reverse the series' polarity and, for the first time, bring the virtual world to reality — courtesy of Jared Leto's protagonist Ares, sent from the Grid to the real world on a dangerous mission. And you can check out the first trailer for the threequel, soundtracked by the inimitable Nine Inch Nails, below;

It may be only a minute and a half long, but that is some teaser right there! It's got neon red lightcycles bombing it down the freeway, bisecting...

Following the taste we had at CinemaCon, Disney has just dropped a jaw-dropping first look at their upcoming sequel, Tron Ares, which brings back Jeff Bridges to the franchise as well as introducing the Academy Award-winner Jared Leto to the world. Red neon, fast vehicles, physics-defying action and a banging soundtrack are our immediate thoughts upon watching what director Joachim Rønninghas in store for us, and we can't wait for October 10, 2025 to arrive so we can jump into the grid and find out for ourselves what Ares has up his sleeve.

Following what went down in Tron: Legacy, Tron: Ares will be the first time that the Grid's programs have out of the digital world and into our own. Leto leads as Ares, a program whose mission looks to be somewhat malevolent and will undoubtedly shake the foundations of both worlds. The film will also star Greta Lee, and Evan Peters...

The wait is almost over, and Tron: Ares is set to transport audiences back to the digital frontier, and now we have our first official look at Jared Leto in the first trailer for the movie, courtesy of Collider's Britta DeVore who saw the footage at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. Disney’s long-gestating sequel to Tron: Legacy has been in the works for over a decade, and now, with director Joachim Rønning (Young Woman and the Sea) at the helm, the franchise is finally making its return. The film will bring the Tron universe into uncharted territory as Leto’s Ares, a powerful program, is sent into the real world. Here's what we saw:

Two red motorcycles are racing down a highway before lasers shoot out from behind them and slice cop cars down the middle. A voiceover can be heard saying “I’m looking for something, something I do not understand.

Not only is Opus in theaters today, but Opus: The Moretti EP is also out on all streaming platforms.

It features three tracks sung by John Malkovich as pop superstar Alfred Moretti, written and produced by Grammy winners Nile Rodgers and The-Dream.

The EP is also available on 7″ black vinyl for $20 from A24.

In Opus, a young writer is invited to the remote compound of a legendary pop star who mysteriously disappeared 30 years ago. Surrounded by the star’s cult of sycophants and intoxicated journalists, she finds herself in the middle of his twisted plan.

Malkovich stars alongside Ayo Edebiri, Juliette Lewis, Murray Bartlett, Amber Midthunder, Young Mazino, Stephanie Suganami, Tatanka Means, and Tony Hale.

The satirical horror-thriller marks the feature debut of writer-director Mark Anthony Green.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of Sundance, “Opus is at its best when it’s a campy satire of pop culture,...

“Kinda Pregnant” Amy Schumer in “Kinda Pregnant” (Netflix)

Netflix – Feb. 5

Happy Madison isn’t just for Adam Sandler comedies. Sometimes it’s responsible for Amy Schumer comedies too! In “Kinda Pregnant,” Schumer stars as “a woman who gets so jealous of her best friend’s pregnancy that she starts to wear a fake baby bump of her own,” according to Netflix. The movie was directed by Tyler Spindel, who happens...

Of all the directors who made the jump from music videos to feature-directing during MTV’s ’90s peak, Michel Gondry is the sole name whose work hasn’t been able to fully escape from the shadow of early pop promos. His hyper-stylized clips for artists ranging from Daft Punk to the White Stripes revealed a fondness for tactile meticulousness, shorts with an elaborate design where you could often feel the artist’s hand bringing them to life––in some cases quite literally seeing his hands shape the design. Aside from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind––a perfect narrative vehicle for his sensibility due to how its protagonist’s warped memories allowed the director to briskly jump from one visual conceit to the next––Gondry’s films have only ever recaptured this spirit in short bursts, if at all. You’d probably be forgiven for not knowing he directed the...

Back in the early days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, every single hero introduced on the big screen would go on to make multiple appearances over short periods of time. Tony Stark, for example, flew into action in Iron Man 2, The Avengers, and Iron Man 3 in a little under three years. On the same page; Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Thor Odinson, and Scott Lang (to name just a few) would take audiences on many adventures one after another. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.

Nowadays, some MCU heroes are introduced never to be seen again in nearly three years, and there's no better example than Moon Knight himself. While Marc Spector was the star of his own Disney Plus show back in March 2022, audiences never saw him suit up again in any subsequent Marvel projects. Many wondered how long he'd be out of the picture, and while Marvel...

Did you know John Malkovich could sing?

Listen to the Academy Award nominee’s mesmerizing pop vocals on “Dina, Simone,” the first single from the Opus soundtrack, below.

Available now on all streaming platforms, the track is written and produced by Grammy winners Nile Rodgers and The-Dream.

It will be released as part of Opus: The Moretti EP on March 14 — the same day the film opens in theaters from A24.

In Opus, a young writer is invited to the remote compound of a legendary pop star who mysteriously disappeared 30 years ago. Surrounded by the star’s cult of sycophants and intoxicated journalists, she finds herself in the middle of his twisted plan.

Malkovich stars as the sinister pop star alongside Ayo Edebiri, Juliette Lewis, Murray Bartlett, Amber Midthunder, Young Mazino, Stephanie Suganami, Tatanka Means, and Tony Hale.

The Masked Singer is feeling lucky in Season 13.

Wednesday’s premiere (Fox, 8/7c) kicks off with a group performance of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” courtesy of judges Rita Ora and Robin Thicke, as you’ll see in TVLine’s exclusive first look. Jenny McCarthy and Ken Jeong also join them on stage, but only for moral support — and we can all count ourselves lucky for that.

New episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man just released, and they are taking the world by storm. What started as a prequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming evolved into its own unique tale set in a branching Marvel Cinematic Universe reality — allowing creators to have complete creative freedom to tell no shortage of exhilarating stories. The world-building feels natural and makes use of a great variety of iconic villains, every character has their own unique and meaningful arc, and Peter Parker helps New York citizens every chance he has. But if all of that wasn't enough, then we also have many fantastic Easter Eggs to look up to.

The first two episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man are filled with no shortage of secrets, so it doesn't come as a surprise that their follow-ups kept the trend going. Fortunately, there's a lot to break down here: From sneaky references to popular bands such as Daft Punk,...

When thinking of conwoman Belle Gibson — who’s pretend cancer diagnosis was the basis of her business empire — there are plenty of anger-filled anthems that come to mind, and “Apple Cider Vinegar” scratches that itch.

From Britney Spears‘ “Toxic” and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire,” the tunes in Netflix’s new series take viewers through the distressing journey that brought Gibson to dominate the wellness industry — before depicting her fall from grace.

Whether its anthems of revenge, or carefree songs perfect for the beach, “Apple Cider Vinegar” likely has what you’re looking for.

For all the songs in “Apple Cider Vinegar,” see below.

“Toxic” – Britney Spears “Dirty Paws” – Of Monsters and Men “Suddenly I See” – KT Tunstall “Horny ’98 (Radio Edit)” – Mousse T. vs Hot’N’Juicy “Friends (Black Angus Remix)” – Sneaky Sound System “Paint The Town Red” – Doja Cat “Walk on By” – Dionne Warwick “Rap Es El Nuevo” – Roll Kid...

A remote location. A group of unsuspecting, idiosyncratic hopefuls. A murderous plan that would eliminate them one by one. The formula is nearly a fool-proof one to pull off an entertaining horror-thriller, but writer-director Mark Anthony Green’s paper-thin feature debut “Opus” squanders the opportunity with shockingly low stakes and only the most basic observations on celebrity culture and fan entitlement.

A former GQ editor, Green at least understands how tough it is to fight for relevance in print media these days. Young, hungry writers struggle to launch careers with prominent bylines, while influencer-types grab all the unearned perks. Played perceptively by Ayo Edebiri, Ariel Ecton is one such up-and-coming journalist working for a Rolling Stone-adjacent publication, fighting for interesting assignments that automatically go to her seniors, even when she’s the one who comes up with the pitch. Her casually arrogant boss Stan Sullivan (Murray Bartlett) doesn’t...

French filmmaker and artist Michel Gondry has been announced as a guest of honor at this year’s edition of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, running from June 8 to 14, 2025.

Gondry will be presented with an Honorary Cristal award, following in the footsteps of previous honoraries such as Terry Gilliam and Wes Anderson who were similarly feted at the 2024 edition of the festival.

It will be the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director’s first visit to the French lakeside festival billed as the biggest animation festival in the world, although his work Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?: An Animated Conversation with Noam Chomsky played at the 2014 edition, winning the Prix André-Martin for best French animated feature.

Annecy pointed to Gondry’s work on music videos for artists such as Björk, The White Stripes, Steriogram and Daft Punk as another motivation for the honor.

When putting together the song, “Piece by Piece,” for the documentary about his life of the same name, Pharrell Williams saw it as a chance explore everything in his life that has led him to where he is right now. “It’s thinking about how everything collectively is your story. If you think about all of the crazy times that you have experienced in your life and all the fun times and all the sad times and all of the momentous time and all the times you were caught off guard by things that just blindsided you,” he tells Gold Derby during our recent webchat (watch the video interview above). He even traces it to the medium in which his story is told in the film. “They’re all piece by piece and it’s very interesting that it’s sort of synonymous with how the Lego world works.”

Put your quarter on the cabinet and stake your claim as ‘Next,’ as Tron: Ares is on the way. Does anyone reading this even understand that reference anymore? After a long delay, we are finally getting a new film in the franchise. The road was rough to finally get back on track, but soon, we’ll be back in the virtual world wishing we had a light bike. Here is everything we know about Tron: Ares, which is directed by Joachim Rønning.

Who Is In It?

Recently, the news that Jeff Bridges would be returning to the franchise made the series’ fans rejoice. Even before he came back to the project, the cast list was filled with notable faces and big names. The film is hoping to bring in new fans as well as fans of the other two films. First up is the obvious one:

Tron: Ares is the long-awaited sequel to the franchise brought by Disney, and they've now unveiled an official look at the film's new Light Cycle. Starring Jared Leto as a computer program called Ares, the digital reality of Tron is leaking into the real world, making the upcoming sequel the first time Light Cycles will be roaming busy city streets. Familiar characters from the franchise return, while a new cast leads the highly-anticipated follow-up to the underrated Tron: Legacy and the original 1982 film.

Straight from D23 Brazil (via DiscussingFilm), Tron: Ares gets a cardboard standee, revealing the titular character going from the digital world to real life on a uniquely red Light Cycle. This coincides with the exciting, albeit scarce, plot details surrounding the long-gestating project. Instead of entirely taking place in the Tron video game, it seems the major theme this time around is the disappearing line between the...

The following contains spoilers for Piece by Piece, now playing in theatersPiece by Piece's ending gives the music documentary about Pharrell some additional meaning. Animated in the same style as The Lego Movie and its subsequent follow-ups, Piece by Piece takes a novel approach in adaptating a series of interviews and stories from Pharrell Williams. The singer/producer is one of the most successful musicians of the 21st century, contributing to dozens of huge songs over the course of his career. Piece by Piece's cast includes many of the people from his personal orbit, as well as several collaborators and music stars.

It all builds to Piece by Piece's sweet and reflective ending, with Pharrell 51 at the time of the film's release looking back on a life full of surprising ups and downs. While the movie is largely accurate to Pharrell's true story, it takes some liberties and...

Pharrell Williams' animated Lego biopic tells his full life story, but with a fun and creative twist brought to the storytelling, the chance of a Piece by Piece post-credits scene to add to the fun is now known. The recognizable and popular musician is the latest to have an autobiographical movie made about him. Still, instead of taking a traditional approach to sharing his life story, Pharrell took an unconventional route by making the film a Lego animated movie. That also makes Piece by Piece a very different entry among the Lego movie franchise.

The previous animated Lego movies were tied to a single franchise that began with 2014's The Lego Movie, but Pharrell's Piece by Piece exists by itself. While the other Lego movies did not include post-credits scenes in the traditional sense, they made a habit of including extra songs and fun animation as the credits rolled. Considering...

Two days before the Pharrell Williams biopic Piece by Piece hits theaters, Focus Features has shared one last trailer for the animated film that tells the musical hyphenate’s life story via Legos.

Pharrell Williams was always happy. He wasn’t always humble.

Since earning his first music credit on Wreckx-n-Effect’s 1992 ass-shaking anthem “Rump Shaker,” the producer/songwriter/rapper/singer/composer/fashion designer/movie producer/father has spent the past three decades on top of the world. You could easily write a thesis on how his inventive, colorful beats and creative lyricism — some as one-half of The Neptunes — have contributed to the pop culture landscape. He helped Britney Spears transition from teeny bopper to racy pop star; gave swag to Nsync and later Justin Timberlake, aiding in his successful solo sprint; had everyone getting undressed at the club with Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” and the boys — and girls and everyone else — running to the yard with Kelis’ still tasty “Milkshake.” Along the way, he gave Snoop Dogg his first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in “Drop It Like It’s Hot,...

Nine Inch Nails will score Tron: Ares, taking over from Daft Punk, adding a new dystopian feel to the highly anticipated film. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have become acclaimed composers, winning Oscars for their work on films like The Social Network. The star-studded cast, including Jared Leto and Jeff Bridges, sets up Tron: Ares to be one of the best movies of 2025.

The upcoming movie Tron: Ares starring Jared Leto will have a fantastic score from Nine Inch Nails. The long-awaited follow-up to 2010's Tron: Legacy is finally in the works at Disney after years of speculation about the future of the franchise. The Tron: Ares ensemble cast will see the return of Jeff Bridges as the original protagonist Kevin Flynn and will also feature performances by Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson, and Sarah Desjardins.

Jeff Bridges reveals he is all set to return to the Tron series that he helped to establish all the way back in 1982, for Tron: Ares.

After many years of waiting, Tron: Ares, a sequel to 2010’s Tron: Legacy, is finally in production. Tron: Legacy's director Joseph Kosinski hasn’t returned and neither have any of the film’s stars – well, apart from one (you can probably guess who it is from the headline). It doesn’t even look like Daft Punk will be returning to give us another memorable score for the third film in the Tron franchise.

It’s not quite all-new though, with reports stating that Jeff Bridges is all set to make an appearance in the film. Bridges himself revealed the news on the Film Comment podcast, stating that he was excited to be working with Jared Leto, the star of Tron: Ares.

The story everyone knows about the rise of the Mp3 and the end of the CD gold rush is a good one. It’s got Metallica and Dr. Dre, Sean Parker and the RIAA, Napster, Kazaa, Limewire, and the record industry’s flabbergasting decision to sue its own fans. But the real story, or arguably the most nuanced and fascinating one, lies elsewhere with a bunch of young computer wizzes scattered across the country and a handful of crafty, underpaid factory workers in Shelby, North Carolina.

Daft Punk is a duo that hardly needs an introduction. From Grammy-winning hit songs like "Get Lucky" to their work on soundtracks to blockbuster movies like "Tron: Legacy," the electronic musicians have conquered the world. But long before Hollywood came calling, the French beat-makers got a boost from the folks at Cartoon Network. Specifically, when the band's anime-inspired music videos aired on Toonami.

Complex did a deep-dive into the history of the anime-focused gamble that was Toonami back in 2017. While the programming block certainly helped give anime a profile boost in the U.S., it also helped out several popular musical acts, Daft Punk among them. As Toonami co-creator Jason DeMarco explained at the time, the duo reached out to them when they were in the midst of premiering an ambitious music video project titled "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem" tied to their second studio album,...

The 2010 science fiction action film directed by Joseph Kosinski, Tron: Legacy, was a box office hit. Starring Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges, and Olivia Wilde, the film is a direct sequel to Tron (1982), and is directed by Steven Lisberger. Made 28 years after the first movie, Tron: Legacy made up in visuals and sound what it lacked in story. The movie was also nominated for an Oscar that year in the Best Sound Editing category, but lost to Richard King for Inception.

Recently, Disney announced a sequel to the 2010 movie, Tron: Ares, which is scheduled for a 2025 release. The third film in the franchise is being directed by Joachim Rønning, with Jared Leto in the lead, who will also serve as a producer.

Tron 3 has begun filming, but it's unknown who will compose the movie's music after Daft Punk's split in 2021. Fans of Tron: Legacy loved Daft Punk's score and doubt Tron 3 can live up to it without their involvement. Potential replacements for Daft Punk in composing the Tron 3 soundtrack include Joseph Trapanese, Junkie Xl, and Kavinsky.

The filming of Tron: Ares is officially underway, yet it's still a mystery who will be behind the musical composition for the film, which was a critical part of Tron: Legacy's popularity. Tron 3 began filming recently after spending years facing development setbacks and delays. Not many details have been released yet about the plot of the third film in the Tron franchise. Beginning with Tron (1982) and followed by Tron: Legacy (2010), the films center around a virtual reality known as "the Grid" and detail the battle between humans and antagonists within the program for power.

If we’d have to guess which two questions Daft Punk have probably been asked the most, we’d go with: “Why did you break up?” followed by “Why the robot helmets?” The French house duo, who called it called it quits in February 2021, are famously rarely interviewed, but Thomas Bangalter offered a little insight to the inner workings of Daft Punk — and being “relieved” that the era is over — on a recent episode of BBC’s The First Time with Matt Everett podcast.

Bangalter previously gave a kind of vague explanation for why Daft Punk broke up, saying that “the last thing I would want to be, in the world we live in, in 2023, is a robot.” Speaking with host Everett, he dug deeper into his and bandmate Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo’s relationship with their art.

If you’ve ever wondered when it was that Michel Gondry, the gifted French director of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” became the world’s most annoying filmmaker, you might say the answer is, “He always was.” Yet no one, including me, quite thinks of him that way. That’s because the few works of his that have come to prominence possess a special combination of facility and charm. I adore “Eternal Sunshine,” a virtuoso movie that bends your brain and breaks your heart at the same time. You might simply choose to characterize it as the masterpiece of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, but the truth is that Gondry directed it ­— the leaps in time, the emotionally convulsive performances of Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet — with a masterful sense of play and gravitational control.

I’ve always heard that the script Kaufman originally turned in was twice as complicated, and...

Boygenius have announced two huge UK shows in London and Halifax.

The super-group consisting of solo artists Phoebe Brigders, Lucy Dacas and Julien Baker announced their new album, The Record, last month.

The band will play Gunnersbury Park in London on 20 August and Halifax’s The Piece Hall on 22 August.

The group will be supported in London by three piece Muna, who are signed to Bridgers’ label, Saddest Factory Records, and singer Ethel Cain. Cain will also support the group when they play up north.

Boygenius announced the news of their new album on 18 January, and shared three new songs from the forthcoming release.

Leiji Matsumoto, the popular Japanese manga and anime artist known for his work with Daft Punk, has died at the age of 85.

Among his many works, Matsumoto created the popular manga series Space Pirate Captain Harlock. In an interview, Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo cited the manga as one of their biggest early influences. “At around the age of 5 years old, we would watch Captain Harlock,” they explained. “The music we have been making must have been influenced at some point by the shows we were watching when we were little kids.”

Alongside co-writer Cédric Hervet and director Kazuhisa Takenouchi, Daft Punk collaborated with Matsumoto on Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. The 2003 animated film served as the visual companion to the group’s second album, Discovery. Scenes from the film were also released as standalone music videos for songs like “One More Time,...

Having gone to artists running the gamut from The Beatles to Billie Eilish, the Grammy for Album of the Year is one that every artist wishes to win. It’s one thing to be recognized for a particular song, but being honored for the best body of work of the year can often mean much more, especially to artists who truly focus on the art of creating a complete cohesive album. This year the biggest story is the rematch between Adele and Beyoncé, but there may be some possible upsets brewing.

Adele’s “30” is definitely one of the front-runners here. Her Grammy track record is perhaps the most impressive of any artist ever; she has only lost three awards out of 18 previous nominations, and she went undefeated for both “21” and “25.” This year could be a little different, though, considering that “30” wasn’t necessarily the cultural phenomenon that those previous two albums were.

The franchise’s last outing in 2010 was a dud, and the actor has Oscar pedigree when not preoccupied with his band. It’s all rather mysterious

Some Hollywood news reports just don’t add up. “Tom Cruise to star in Top Gun 3” – well yes, obviously. “James Cameron to keep making weirder and weirder Avatar sequels until he’s in his 90s” – yep, inevitably. “Tron 3 moving forward with Jared Leto” – ahem, really? The article in the Hollywood Reporter this week poses far more questions than it answers.

Why is Disney going ahead with Tron 3 when 2010’s feeble Tron: Legacy was hardly a box office or critical smash, despite rehiring Jeff Bridges, spending millions on CGI and getting Daft Punk to do the soundtrack? Is it really a good idea to expand the world of the geeky cult classic 1982 original into a macro-universe of shiny digital pixels? Well, that one...

It's been over a decade since the last Tron movie, and the Tron 3 that's coming isn't shaping up to be a satisfying continuation of the franchise. Even though it was full of stunning visuals, and a strong cast that included Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner from the original Tron, its sequel Tron: Legacy wasn't a huge financial success for Disney in 2010, causing the House of Mouse to struggle with adapting a final film for the Tron trilogy over the past decade. Now that Tron 3, under the working title Tron: Ares might actually be happening, expectations and scrutiny surrounding the film's creative choices are higher than ever before.

Revivals, reboots, and remakes are everywhere these days, and Tron represents a unique franchise that has a chance of standing apart from anything in Star Wars or the MCU if Tron 3 can be successful. Disney has put Joachim Rønning, known for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,...

The awkwardly titled gay rugby romance “In from the Side” is so padded out at 134 minutes with both rugby games and sex scenes that the final effect is numbing, and writer-director Matt Carter doesn’t bother much with either plot or character to fill out his narrative.

Mark (Alexander Lincoln) is a member of the South London Stags, which is thought of as the B-team of a gay London Rugby Club. Before you can hum “Some Enchanted Evening,” he locks eyes from across a crowded room with Warren (Alexander King), a cocky guy who plays on what is considered the A-team.

While out at a nightclub with fellow team members, Mark makes eye contact with Warren again, and Warren buys them some tequila shots. Confident in his approach, Warren licks Mark’s hand in a suggestive manner, and they banter on the dance floor and share a kiss before Mark...

Have you heard about the new dance craze? That was the first line to the 1978 disco hit “Le Freak” by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, who performed with a large cast as Chic.

Disco died soon after, but now it’s rising from the grave in a new immersive attraction debuting in New York City’s Central Park this summer.

The DiscOasis, as it’s called, is billed as “an immersive, musical, and theatrical roller disco experience.” It will bow at Central Park’s historic and iconic Wollman Rink on June 16 through October 1.

The experience bowed in Los Angeles last year, but...

Update, writethru: With an estimated 58.2 of the vote, Emmanuel Macron has been reelected as President of France, defeating extreme right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen who amassed 41.8. Macron now becomes the eighth French incumbent to win a second term.

Coming into today’s final round of the election, independent centrist Macron was leading in the polls, but throughout her campaign, Le Pen had gained momentum compared to the first time the two faced off in 2017. Today marked the second runoff between candidates from parties other than the traditional left and right.

Voter abstention today was estimated at 28.7, according to media reports. This is higher than in 2017, and is also more than the first round of voting two weeks ago. However, it is not a record breaker.

Macron’s camp this evening was parked on the Champ de Mars in front of the Eiffel Tower where Daft Punk’s “One More Time...
