Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver Fighting in ‘Marriage Story' Is Being Used by the USDA to Scare Off Wolves and Save Cattle: ‘They Need to Know Humans Are Bad'
Per the WSJ: 'Riding to the rescue are drone cowhands, whose quadcopters have thermal cameras that can reveal any wolf lurking in the darkness and bathe it in a spotlight. A loudspeaker broadcasts alarming sounds like fireworks, gunshots and people arguing. One recording is of the fight between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in the movie 'Marriage Story.''

'I need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad,' a USDA district supervisor in Oregon told the publication.
'Wolf hazing,' as the practice is called, also uses loud music like AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' to scare off deadly wolves. The USDA has relied on drones because gray wolves had long been on the federal government's list of endangered species. The process seems to be working. As the WSJ reported: 'Drones were deployed in the Klamath Basin of southern Oregon after 11 cows were killed by wolves there in a 20-day period. Over the next 85 days when drones were on patrol, only two were killed.'
'Marriage Story' stars Johansson and Driver as a couple going through a bitter divorce and custody battle over their son. The movie earned critical acclaim after premiering at the 2019 Venice Film Festival. Variety's Owen Gleiberman named 'Marriage Story' the second best movie of 2019.
'Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, in spectacular performances that work together with searing intimacy, enact the anger, pride, despair, and passion of a couple who tear their relationship apart, and their souls too, even as they both struggle to remain whole inside,' Gleiberman wrote. ''Marriage Story' tells the story of divorce in our time, and in doing so it earns a place next to those harrowing and heartrending texts of separation, 'Kramer vs. Kramer' and 'Scenes from a Marriage.''

'Hamilton': Where is the original Broadway cast now?
He hasn't thrown away his shot. When "Hamilton" became a rare Broadway juggernaut 10 years ago, the hip-hop musical launched its ultra-talented star and creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, into the pop culture stratosphere. In the decade since it opened on Broadway on Aug. 6, 2015, the show's original cast has similarly gone on to win Emmy, Grammy and Tony awards, and even been nominated for Oscars. Miranda, who played Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, recently announced that the pro-shot of the musical (already on Disney+) will hit theaters Sept. 5. Before then, here's where else you have seen the familiar faces who brought history to life onstage: Lin-Manuel Miranda Since "Hamilton" premiered a decade ago, Miranda has lent his songwriting prowess to Disney's "Moana," "Encanto," "The Little Mermaid" remake and "Mufasa: The Lion King." He also channeled Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins Returns" with Emily Blunt, directed the Oscar-nominated "Tick, Tick … Boom!," and released a concept album "Warriors," based on the 1979 movie. 'Hamilton': As the musical heads to movie theaters, Lin-Manuel Miranda always knew it would last Leslie Odom Jr. The "Smash" alum won best leading actor in a musical for his performance as Aaron Burr in "Hamilton." He has since featured in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" and "The Exorcist: Believer," and earned two Oscar nominations for his work on "One Night in Miami," in which he played soul legend Sam Cooke. He will next return to "Hamilton" for a limited engagement on Sept. 9. Phillipa Soo The theater veteran, who portrayed Eliza Hamilton, has gone on to shine in Broadway's "Into the Woods" and "Camelot," and "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Hollywood Bowl with Cynthia Erivo. On TV, she's found success in "Shining Girls," "Dopesick" and "Doctor Odyssey." Renée Elise Goldsberry Goldsberry won best featured actress in a musical for playing Angelica Schuyler in "Hamilton." She was a comedic force in "Documentary Now!" and "Girls5Eva," and was recently the subject of a documentary, "Satisfied," about her journey to motherhood. Christopher Jackson After originating the role of Benny in Miranda's "In the Heights" on Broadway, Jackson went on to play George Washington in "Hamilton." He has since appeared on TV in "Bull," "When They See Us," and "Sex and the City" sequel series "And Just Like That...," portraying the politician husband of Nicole Ari Parker. Daveed Diggs Diggs won a Tony Award for best featured actor in a musical for playing both Thomas Jefferson and Marquis de Lafayette in "Hamilton." He went on to star in the TNT series "Snowpiercer," voice Sebastian in Disney's live-action "The Little Mermaid," and appear in the Oscar best picture-nominated "Nickel Boys" last year. More: Why Oscar hopeful 'Nickel Boys' is 'nothing like' any film you've ever seen Anthony Ramos The Brooklyn native, who originated the dual role of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton, has found big-screen stardom in "In the Heights," "Twisters" and "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts." He recently played the villainous Hood in the Marvel series "Ironheart" and will next be seen in Spike Lee's 'Highest 2 Lowest' alongside Denzel Washington. More: Glen Powell says hanging out with real storm chasers on 'Twisters' was 'infectious' Okieriete Onaodowan Onaodowan, who played Hercules Mulligan and James Madison, is best known for his role as Dean Miller in "Grey's Anatomy" and its spinoff series, "Station 19." He has also appeared on screen in "American Fiction," "A Quiet Place Part II" and the series "Jack Ryan." Jonathan Groff The genial showman is currently lighting up Broadway as Bobby Darin in bio-musical "Just in Time," a year after winning his first Tony Award for Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along." Groff, who played King George III in "Hamilton," has also been a consistent presence in film and TV, with roles in "Mindhunter," "The Matrix Resurrections," "A Nice Indian Boy," "Looking," and the "Frozen" franchise. More: Jonathan Groff opens up about death, Bobby Darin and why he's done with birthday wishes Jasmine Cephas Jones Jones, who originated the roles of Peggy Schuyler and Maria Reynolds, is a scene-stealer in Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach's 2015 comedy "Mistress America." She has since appeared in movies including "Blindspotting," "Monsters and Men," "The Photograph," and "Origin."

'Devil Wears Prada 2' photos tease Anne Hathaway's possible love interest
Andy Sachs has officially left the "lumpy blue sweater" behind. Photos from the set of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" may offer some insight into the big-city life of Anne Hathaway's character two decades after the beloved original book adaptation came out on June 30, 2006. In photos captured Aug. 5 on the streets of Brooklyn, Hathaway, 42, is seen getting cozy with a new costar, "Colin from Accounts" actor/creator Patrick Brammall. Hathaway, whose character Andy is presumably out from under the thumb of "Runway" magazine overlord Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), dons a glittery blue, shin-length Rabanne dress from the designer's 2026 cruise collection. Perhaps an ode to the cerulean sweater that prompted Priestly's long-winded rant in the original film? That remains to be seen. It's unclear what character Brammall, 49, plays in the sequel. The Australian actor is married to "Colin from Accounts" costar and co-creator Harriet Dyer. In the first "Devil Wears Prada," Andy's love life is largely a casualty as her job as Priestly's second assistant takes precedence. She lives with her boyfriend, Nate (Adrian Grenier), but the two ultimately are unable to find middle ground as Andy develops an edge while working in the cutthroat fashion world. She also dabbles in a romance with journalist Christian Thompson (Simon Baker), which doesn't pan out. Details of the highly anticipated sequel are scant while it's in production, but fans have for weeks dissected the characters' fashion, as captured in paparazzi photos. "The Devil Wears Prada," based on the book of the same name, grossed more than $325 million at the worldwide box office and earned Streep an Academy Award nomination for best actress. 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' cast Among the returning stars are Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux and B.J. Novak flesh out the cast, according to Variety and People. Undoubtedly bringing comic relief, "Sex Lives of College Girls" actress Pauline Chalamet will also appear, according to the outlets. The film has also brought in Broadway talent, with "Maybe Happy Ending" star Helen J. Shen and "Oh, Mary!" actor Conrad Ricamora confirmed, per Variety. The halls of Runway won't be missing familiar faces, though. Tracie Thoms, who played Lily, Hathaway's best friend, will reprise her character, as will Tibor Feldman, who portrayed media executive Irv Ravitz. David Frankel, director of the original "Devil Wears Prada," is returning for the sequel, and the first movie's screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna, is writing the script. "The Devil Wears Prada 2" will give Hathaway the opportunity to revisit one of her most iconic early roles, 20 years later. The first movie hit theaters just five years after she made her film debut with 2001's "The Princess Diaries." When will 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' come out? "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is set for release on May 1, 2026. Contributing: Brendan Morrow and Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY
