USDA using argument scene from 'Marriage Story' to horrify wolves
After the wild animals killed 11 cows during a 20-day period in Oregon, the USDA started deploying quadcopters that used thermal cameras to reveal wolves in the darkness, according to the Wall Street Journal. When the drones detect the predators, they shine a spotlight on the predators and emit alarming sounds from loudspeakers to scare them away.
'I need wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad,' Paul Wolf, USDA district supervisor, told the WSJ.
USDA also uses the sound of fireworks and gunshots to scare off the wild animals. Since they started using 'wolf hazing' in Oregon, only two cows were killed in 85 days, according to the WSJ.
The scene being used involves Nichole (Johansson) and Charlie (Driver) exchanging verbal jabs with each other. 'Marriage Story' follows a couple going through a divorce and fighting for the custody of their child.
Netflix released the film written and directed by Baumbach in 2019. It was nominated for six Oscars, including one for Best Picture. Both Johansson and Driver earned nominations for their performances.

Oscars: Lynette Howell Taylor Elected President of Film Academy
As The Hollywood Reporter recently forecasted, Lynette Howell Taylor, an Oscar-nominated film producer, was elected the 37th president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences through a vote of the organization's board of governors on Thursday. She succeeds Janet Yang, a fellow producer who held the job for the past three years, but was forced by term limits to step away from the board for at least the next two. Howell Taylor, 46, who was born in Liverpool, England, is the youngest person in 70 years (since George Seaton took office at 44) and the first person born outside of the U.S. in 28 years (since Canadian Arthur Hiller) to serve as Academy president. More from The Hollywood Reporter Korean Powerhouse CJ ENM Teams With Janet Yang, Miky Lee and Dominic Ng for Asian Storytelling Venture Film Academy's Longtime Theater Manager Richard Stermer Is Retiring (Exclusive) The Family Feud Over An Iconic Oscar Five other governors were also tapped for officer positions: composer Lesley Barber was re-elected as vice president (chair, membership committee); producer Jennifer Fox was elected vice president (chair, awards committee); documentarian Simon Kilmurry was elected vice president/treasurer (chair, finance committee); actor Lou Diamond Phillips was elected vice president (chair, equity and inclusion committee); and writer Howard A. Rodman was re-elected vice president/secretary (chair, governance committee). 'Lynette has been a vital part of the Academy board of governors for many years, most recently revitalizing our awards work as chair of the board's Awards Committee,' Academy CEO Bill Kramer said in a statement. 'I so look forward to working with her as our new Academy president, as well as with these incredibly dedicated and strategic board officers. This is an exceptional group of Academy members who will advance the Academy's mission, support our membership around the world, ensure our long-term financial stability, and celebrate the achievements of the global filmmaking community.' Howell Taylor began her career in the theater. Since moving to Hollywood at 22, she has accumulated dozens of film credits. Among them are acclaimed indies (such as 2006's Half Nelson, 2010's Blue Valentine and 2016's Captain Fantastic) and studio films (including 2018's A Star Is Born, for which she received a best picture Oscar nom, and The Accountant 2, a hit earlier this year). She joined the Academy in 2014, and was recruited to produce the 2020 Oscars telecast with Stephanie Allain. She was elected to the board of governors for the first time later that same year, and has served on it for the last five years. In each of the last three years, she was chosen by the board to serve as its vice president, overseeing its powerful awards committee, which is integrally involved with the planning of all aspects of the Oscars ceremonies. And in each of those years, the telecast's ratings have ticked up. Howell Taylor certainly has a full plate: she and her husband, Fifth Season (formerly Endeavor Content) co-CEO Graham Taylor, are the parents of three young kids; the family recently lost its home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire; and she has a high-profile film, Derek Cianfrance's Roofman, starring Channing Tatum, coming out later this year. But the new president is known to be indefatigable and is already familiar with the inner workings of the Academy and the Oscars, so she is expected to be able to hit the ground running. Plus, she is only able to remain on the board and to serve as president for this coming year before running up against the same term limit as Yang.

Netflix just dropped the first trailer for a new George Clooney and Adam Sandler comedy movie — and I can't wait to stream it
Netflix just dropped a teaser trailer for "Marriage Story" — director Noah Baumbach's upcoming comedy-drama starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler, giving us our first proper introduction to "Jay Kelly." Billed as a "heartbreaking" new watch on Tudum, the streaming service's forthcoming release pairs the two stars as a famous actor (method acting much?) and his devoted manager, respectively. Admittedly, this first trailer doesn't give too much away about the movie: it's mostly teeing up Kelly's all-star reputation. We might not know Jay Kelly yet, but everyone else seems to. The drama seems to come from Kelly wrestling with said reputation and his own identity, judging by that one line he drops on a train: "You know how difficult it is to be yourself? You try it." However, it does offer a few glimpses at what's in store in this snapshot of the movie star's actor, and ends up with one hell of a cast list. It might only be a teaser trailer, but this first look at "Jay Kelly" is a promising one, to me. It sets the tone just right, and with such a magnetic star at the helm, I can't wait to see what this slice of Jay Kelly's life has in store. If you're also excited to watch "Jay Kelly?" You can add it to your fall watchlist, as this teaser confirms the new Netflix movie will hit "select theaters" on November 14, before "Jay Kelly" comes to the streaming service on Friday, December 5, 2025. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Netflix has already shared a brief synopsis for "Jay Kelly," which reads: "The new film from Academy Award nominee Noah Baumbach follows famous movie actor Jay Kelly (George Clooney) and his devoted manager Ron (Adam Sandler) as they embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe. Along the way, both men are forced to confront the choices they've made, the relationships with their loved ones, and the legacies they'll leave behind." The other major bit of news we have is that stacked cast list. In addition to our two leads, "Jay Kelly" also features Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, Riley Keough, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Jim Broadbent, Patrick Wilson, Eve Hewson, Greta Gerwig, Alba Rohrwacher, Josh Hamilton, Lenny Henry, Emily Mortimer (who co-wrote the movie with Baumbach), Nicôle Lecky, Thaddea Graham, Isla Fisher, Louis Partridge and Charlie Rowe.
