PREVIOUSLY (Feb. 26): Apple Original Films announced that the documentary Bono: Stories of Surrender will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on May 30. In addition, the 'lyrical, bold exploration' of the U2 singer's one-man show of the same name based on his 2022 memoir, Surrender: 40 Songs One Story, will also be the first feature-length film available on the Apple Vision Pro in Apple Immersive Video.
The movie directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James) is described in a press release as, 'a vivid reimagining of Bono's critically-acclaimed one-man stage show, Stories of Surrender: An Evening of Words, Music and Some Mischief…, as he pulls back the curtain on a remarkable life and the family, friends, and faith that have challenged and sustained him, revealing personal stories about his journey as a son, father, husband, activist and rockstar. Along with never-before-seen, exclusive footage from the Beacon Theatre shows, the film features Bono performing many of the iconic U2 songs that have shaped his life and legacy.'
The Apple Vision Pro version will present the film in 8K with Spatial Audio, producing a 180-degree visual that, 'places viewers onstage with Bono and in the center of his story. With this special edition of the film available only on Vision Pro, viewers will feel completely immersed in the music and storytelling of Surrender.'
The movie was produced by RadicalMedia's Oscar- and Emmy-winning duo of Jon Kamen and Dave Sirulnick (Summer of Soul, Hamilton), along with Plan B Entertainment's Oscar-winning actor/producer Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner (Moonlight, 12 Years a Slave), with Bono executive producing with Jennifer Pitcher (Kiss The Future) and Kelly McNamara (V-U2 an Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas).
An abridged and updated edition of Bono's memoir — described as 'introspective, intimate and irreverent in equal measure… refined to mirror the arc of his one-man show and featur[ing] a film tie-in book cover and new introduction by the author' — will be released in conjunction with the documentary.

Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor's Daughter Ella Makes AJLT Debut
Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor's Daughter Ella Makes AJLT Debut Originally appeared on E! Online There's something about Ella Stiller following in her parents' footsteps. Indeed, the 23-year-old daughter of Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor made an appearance on the July 31 episode of And Just Like That, playing Mia, the pregnant girlfriend of Niall Cunningham's Brady Hobbes. Her debut in the Sex and the City universe comes more than 20 years after her paternal grandmother Anne Meara played Steve's mother Mary during the original show's fifth season. But as she's just the latest Stiller to enter the acting world—her grandfather was Jerry Stiller—her dad is more than ready to welcome Ella and her brother Quinlin Stiller, 20, to set. 'Both my kids are actors and not really kids anymore,' Ben, 59 age, told E! News in November. 'And they're both really good, so it'd be fun to work with them. I have done a couple of little things with them, but I'd love to. It'd be really fun.' What's more, the Severance producer's dream is to be cast in his children's future projects. 'I think eventually they'll probably be directing and producing stuff that I'll be asking them to cast me in,' he continued. 'That's how it goes.' More from E!

And they've never hesitated to heap praise on one another. 'I'm so proud,' Ella said to E! News of her father's Apple TV+ drama at the 2022 Emmys. 'It's like my favorite show. I'm obsessed.' No stranger to sharing insight into their family life, Ben and Christine, 54, have been open about how they found their way back together while quarantining during the COVID pandemic, more than three years after their 2017 separation. 'When we were separated, it was just having space to see what our relationship was, what my life felt like when we weren't in that relationship, how much I loved our family unit,' Ben shared with the New York Times in January 2023. 'It was like three or four years that we weren't together, but we were always connected. In my mind, I never didn't want us to be together.'

Why Apple has sued San Francisco's newest movie theater
A dispute over a shared name has landed a small East Coast theater chain in legal trouble with one of the world's biggest tech companies. Cupertino-based Apple Inc. has filed suit against Apple Cinemas a month after the small and relatively new East Coast movie theater chain expanded to San Francisco. The Cupertino-based tech giant has filed suit against the movie exhibitor in federal court for copyright infringement, alleging that the brand is trying to trick ticket buyers into thinking that the two companies are affiliated. The lawsuit was filed Friday, Aug. 1, in federal court in Massachusetts, where Apple Cinemas is headquartered. According to the Hollywood Reporter, which reviewed the suit, Apple Inc. is seeking a court order to force the chain to cease using the word 'Apple' in its name and is also asking for unspecified damages. 'Consumers should not go to an 'Apple Cinemas' theater thinking it is connected to the famous Apple brand, with all its goodwill and brand equity,' reads the complaint, written by Miranda Means, a lawyer for Apple. The Chronicle has reached out to Apple Cinemas co-founder Siva Shan and Director of Operations Jessica Robitaille for comment. Apple Cinemas, formed in 2013, had grown into a 13-theater chain in the northeastern United States when in June it struck a deal to occupy the 1921 Don Lee Building at 1000 Van Ness Ave., expanding its footprint into the West Coast. Apple Cinemas opened the 14-screen, 92,724-square-foot space previously occupied by AMC Theatres and CGV Cinemas on July 10. 'I think San Francisco opens up a lot of opportunities,' Robitaille told the Chronicle at the time. 'I think it's really a fantastic space that we have to work with and we have big plans for it.' Apple Cinemas also signed a lease to take over the former Century Blackhawk Plaza in Danville to transform the space into a new theater for the East Bay suburb. It's expected to open by the end of the year. Robitaille and Shan said that the Bay Area foray is part of the company's ambitious expansion plans to become a major national cinema chain. A notable part of the lawsuit is that Apple Inc. contends its brand could be damaged by being associated with Apple Cinemas' alleged lack of quality control. The suit highlights comments on social media that its theaters are 'greasy,' 'dirty' and 'grungy,' with some complaining of tech issues, including the projection system and online purchase portal. Last year, parent company Sand Media applied to register Apple Cinemas and a related mark for ACX — Apple Cinematic Experience but was denied, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The trademark examiner concluded that its movie theaters are 'closely related' to Apple Inc.'s entertainment services — such as Apple Studios and Apple TV+ — and may cause confusion among consumers.
