Scarlett Johansson Reveals Why the New ‘Tower of Terror' Movie Is Taking So Long
It's a hard nut to crack. Harder than you think, because the ride itself, there's some lore to it, but it's… I don't want to say thin, but it is, kind of! That's part of the mystery of the ride. It's been a fun project to work on, because it's a blue sky project. It has also proved to be a hard nut to crack. But, we'll crack the case of it. It's taking shape!
James Gunn described the DCU's Kara Zor-El as 'kind of a mess' in a recent interview with Comic Book.
[Flashbacks to Krypton are] always a possibility. But I think those things are really integral to the two characters and the differences between them, and that Clark really does have sort of this really happy childhood. I mean, he had parents who loved him in an easy-going upbringing, and it makes him the least dysfunctional of superheroes in so many ways. And Supergirl, especially the DCU Supergirl, she's kind of a mess. I mean, she's, she's had real issues growing up. And it is based on the comic where she watched person after person after person dying in front of her as her piece of the planet disintegrated.

‘Extra' Sees Layoffs Ahead Of Season 32
Daytime Emmy-winning half-hour newsmagazine Extra has let go a number of staffers ahead of its forthcoming 32nd season, Deadline has confirmed. The decision is a result of an annual cataloguing that assesses staff structure and production processes and was not a performance-based. As Extra continues into its third decade, it seeks to revamp the show with a new host and fresh look to engage viewers. It's currently unclear how many workers were laid off. More from Deadline Billy Bush Leaving 'Extra' After 5 Seasons As Host 'Extra' Renewed For Season 32; Billy Bush's Return As Host Uncertain Arianne Zucker Talks 'Days Of Our Lives' Final Episode & 'Access Hollywood' Moment With Donald Trump: 'I Didn't See It The Way People Were Seeing It" The news comes two months after host Billy Bush announced he will not be returning to the long-running syndicated entertainment news series. 'After an amazing five years hosting Extra, I'm moving on to continue building out my Hot Mics digital platform,' Bush told listeners on his Hot Mics podcast at the time. 'We have experienced unprecedented growth in a short period of time here on this show and I find myself hungrier and more stimulated than at any point in my professional career. Extra is culturally iconic. If I had a dollar for every time someone hollered 'Extra Extra' to me in the airport or something, I'd buy Warner Bros.' With Season 32, Extra will be led by executive producer and showrunner Jeremy Spiegel. As the second longest-running entertainment newsmagazine in syndication, the show has garnered 12 consecutive Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Entertainment News Program. In 2014, it clinched the Emmy in that category, repeating the feat two years later. Extra was renewed for Season 32 back in March by Fox Televisions Stations, which has been the daily newsmagazine's anchor station group for the past six seasons. The show is produced by Telepictures in association with Warner Bros Unscripted Television, and is distributed by Warner Bros Domestic Television Distribution. The Hollywood Reporter was first to break the news. Best of Deadline 'The Buccaneers' Season 2 Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?

13 Totally '90s Couples You Haven't Thought About in 30 Years
Talk about a blast from the past! Though it has been more than two decades since these couples held hands on a red carpet or cuddled up on a vintage couch, we dug through the archives and pulled out our favorite photos of these so very nostalgic pairings. From Toni Braxton and Shemar Moore's sexy award show looks to Sandra Bullock and Matthew McConaughey's adorable stares, take a look back at these couples you might not have thought about this millennium. In addition to starring in 1998's There's Something About Mary together, Dillon and Diaz also dated in the 1990s after meeting years prior on nearby film sets. She told Britain's Guardian in 1997, 'I love him incredibly.' Years after their relationship ended, Dillon told Parade, per CBS News, that Diaz was a "muse." "It's a very powerful thing when you feel that way about somebody," he said of falling in love. "Cameron was a muse for me. I hadn't been in any deep emotional relationships." Diaz now shares two children with husband Benji Madden. Stamos and Abdul, seen here in the early '90s, dated for a time and have kept up a friendship over the years. In 2015, Abdul shared a throwback photo of the pair alongside a reunion shot that Stamos posted on his own Instagram page as well. "Cold Hearted Snake and America's sweetheart," Stamos wrote. "Together again and it feels so good." Stamos married his wife Caitlin McHugh Stamos in 2018 and they welcomed their son Billy that same year. Wolf and Milano dated briefly in the early 1990s and were even engaged for six months before the relationship ended amicably in 1994. The Charmed alumna is now married to talent agent David Bugliari, with whom she has two children, and Wolf shares three children with his estranged wife Kelley Wolf. The two Oscar-winning actors dated after first meeting on the set of their 1996 film A Time To Kill. 'We dated for a while after A Time to Kill, and we're still friends,' he told Playboy in 2016. 'She and I have another version of our relationship to put on film, and we're looking for something. She's not a little girl. She's a woman. She could run a country.' McConaughey now shares three kids with his wife Camila Alves McConaughey while Bullock is mom to son Louis and daughter Laila. The two don't just share a dating history; they also both have deep ties to Austin, Tex. The S.W.A.T. star was one-half of a few iconic '90s couples — including this memorable pairing with the Grammy winner in 1995. While speaking with PEOPLE about his "pretty good entrance into Hollywood,' he explained how he became known as 'the guy who dated Halle Berry [in 1997] and Toni Braxton [in 1995]." Years later, Moore welcomed his first daughter Frankie with now ex-girlfriend Jesiree Dizon and Braxton welcomed two children with her ex-husband Keri Lewis. While the two played love interests onscreen as Felicity and Ben on Felicity from 1998 to 2002 they also dated off-screen for a time. (Did that make it awkward when Felicity decided to pursue Noel?) While they both are now in long term relationships with other people, the two remain dear friends. American Pie is about at '90s as it gets, and Fulong and Lyonne, who "were together for a while," attended the 1999 premiere of the movie together. In an interview with her friend Chloë Sevigny for Harper's Bazaar in 2014, Lyonne says she "was crazy for him on the [Detroit Rock City] movie set," in which the two costarred. Rimes and Keegan met as teenagers, she told The Sydney Morning Herald in 2022, and were first connected after she spotted him in a magazine. "I started dating Andrew Keegan at 15," she told the paper. "He was an actor in teen movies and we were together for three years. While filming a video clip for my song Commitment in Santa Monica, I flicked through a Teen Beat magazine and spotted him. I told my manager and hair and make-up artist that I thought he was cute. Next minute, my then manager called Andrew and asked if he wanted to meet me; that's how we hooked up." Keegan now shares daughter Aiya Rose with Arista Ilona while Rimes is married to Eddie Cibrian and is stepmother to his two sons. After meeting in 1995, Jewel and Penn had a brief romance, which she discussed in her book Never Broken: Songs Are Only Half the Story. After seeing her perform on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Penn reached out to Jewel over the phone — a move her Alaska-based father first wrote off as a prank call. 'One day my dad came to find me, saying, 'Jewel, you must be getting some kooky fans out there in the Lower 48. Some guy just prank-called and said he was Sean Penn,'' she wrote. After asking her to compose a song for a movie he was working on, the two met and she found him 'charming, witty, and bright." Penn now shares two children with ex-wife Robin Wright while Rimes shares one son with ex Ty Murray. The two comedians dated in the 1990s though in a post to TikTok earlier this year, Griffin said "dating is a very loose term.' 'This is a picture of me and my then-boyfriend, Jack Black, who you probably know mostly from School of Rock,' she wrote alongside the throwback shot. 'So he was the first boyfriend I ever had where other bros thought I was cool because I was dating him." Griffin recalled their relationship further on TikTok, remembering a time she said, " 'I need a shower towel.' And he goes, 'You're standing on it. ' ... You guys, that's straight guys. He had one bath mat/towel that he used for both, and that was it. So naturally, I kept sleeping with him." In her book she writes that the pair "went out only two or three times, but that's a relationship in my book." Wilson and Barrymore, seen here in 1999, dated for a few years in the late 1990s, though years later the talk show host told Kate Hudson that for at least some of their time together it was an "open relationship." Hudson remembered meeting Barrymore for the first time while she was at dinner with Wilson, to which Barrymore responded, "I was dating him, but I think he was also dating other people ... "It was an open relationship; we were young." "We're just young, we're having fun, we're all playing, acting, hanging out," Barrymore continued. "You're not taking it all so seriously, and it was fun and we had the best time." Luke's older brother Owen was all loved up with then-girlfriend Crow at the 2000 premiere of Shanghai Noon. Per E! News, the pair began dating in 1999 after meeting on the set of The Minus Man and dated for two years. Crow is now mom to her two sons Wyatt and Levi. Friedle was on deck to support Hewitt at the 1997 premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer in Hollywood. The following year, Hewitt appeared on Friedle's show Boy Meets World as his character's love interest. And while the episode might be a fan favorite, Friedle said on an episode of the Pod Meets World podcast last year that the "super intense" makeout scene the two filmed is "uncomfortable" to watch now. Hewitt now shares three kids with her husband Brian Hallisay. Friedle married his wife Susan Martens in 2016. Read the original article on People

‘Superman' Soars to $122 Million, Third-Biggest Box Office Opening Weekend of 2025
Superman can lift up collapsing buildings, Godzilla-sized monsters and, now, the box office. 'Superman,' the newly rebooted comic book adventure starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, flew to $122 million in its first weekend of release. Those are strong ticket sales, enough to rank as the year's third-largest debut after 'A Minecraft Movie' ($162 million) and 'Lilo & Stitch' ($146 million). More from Variety 'Superman' Star David Corenswet Recalls Getting 'Wildest Bruise' on His Groin During 'Epic' Flying Scene: 'There's Footage From Filming' 'Superman' Star Skyler Gisondo on Being Fancast as Jimmy Olsen and the Character's Surprising Romantic Appeal: 'I Don't Think He's on the Apps' 'Superman's' Fortress of Solitude Took Six Months to Design, 16 Weeks to Build and Was Made from 242 Resin Crystals Turnout was slightly softer-than-expected at the international box office with $95 million from 78 markets, bringing its global tally to $217 million. Warner Bros. and DC Studios have a lot at stake, and not just because 'Superman' cost a hefty $225 million to produce and roughly $100 million to promote. The superhero film is the first entry in the relaunched DC Universe and has the colossal responsibly of igniting a new interconnected comic book universe for the studio. ('Supergirl,' featuring the caped hero's cousin, arrives in summer 2026.) James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the leadership of DC Studios in 2022 after its last iteration of superhero movies imploded with the epic losing-streak of 'The Flash,' 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,' 'Shazam: Fury of the Gods' and 'Blue Beetle.' Gunn, best known for 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'The Suicide Squad,' directed 'Superman. The story follows the eternally optimistic hero as he proves to the world that he's trying to do good after the villainous Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) executes a plan to turn public opinion against Supes. Critics and audiences have embraced the film with an 82% average on Rotten Tomatoes and 'A-' grade on CinemaScore exit polls. Positive word-of-mouth will be vital for the movie's box office staying power. That's because big opening weekends are rarely a problem for comic book movies, especially ones anchored by a hero as universally recognizable as Superman. But the ability to keep drawing crowds over the busy summer season will be a truer test of the property's cinematic strength. Just look at what happened to Disney's recent Marvel Cinematic Universe installments like 2023's 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' ($106 million debut) and this year's 'Captain America: Brave New World' ($100 million debut over the Presidents Day holiday). Those big-budget tentpoles started strong at the box office, only to completely collapse in subsequent weekends. Meanwhile Superman's last solo outing, 2013's 'Man of Steel' with Henry Cavill, managed to generate $116 million in its opening weekend before ending its run with $670 million globally (not adjusted for inflation). It seems reasonable for Warner Bros. to want the newest film to exceed that figure since more than a decade has passed. As 'Superman' soared to the top of domestic box office charts, the Last Son of Krypton likely took a massive bite out of ticket sales for last weekend's champion, Universal's 'Jurassic World Rebirth.' The dinosaur epic added $40 million from 4,324 venues in its second weekend of release, a painful 57% drop from its debut. Even with a substantial second-weekend decline, 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' which rebooted the long-running series with Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, has sunk its teeth into a mighty $232 million domestically and $529 million worldwide to date. Third place went to 'F1: The Movie' with $13 million from 3,412 theaters in its third lap around the track, marking a 50% decline from the prior weekend. So far, the Apple film has generated $136 million in North America and more than $393 million worldwide. Though 'F1,' starring Brad Pitt as a has-been Formula One driver, carries a massive $250 million price tag (and requires many laps around the track to justify its cost), its ticket sales are notable for an adult-skewing tentpole that's not part of an existing film franchise. Two kid friendly tentpoles, Universal's 'How to Train Your Dragon' reboot and Disney's Pixar adventure 'Elio,' rounded out box office charts. In the No. 4 spot, 'How to Train Your Dragon' collected $7.8 million from 3,285 theaters in its fourth weekend on the big screen. The live action remake of 2010's 'How to Train Your Dragon' has powered to $239 million domestically and $560 million globally to date. 'Elio' landed in fifth place with $4 million from 2,730 screens in its fourth outing. The intergalactic tale has grossed just $63 million in North America and finally surpassed the $100 million mark globally after a month of release. With $117 million in worldwide ticket sales, the $150 million-budgeted tentpole will end its theatrical run as a major money lose for Disney and Pixar. Disney isn't hurting too much because 'Lilo & Stitch' is imminently joining the billion-dollar club. The live-action remake has grossed $414.6 million in North America and $994 million globally after eight weeks of release. Since 'Lilo & Stitch' is practically minting money for the studio (box office returns are nothing compared to Stitch-related consumer product sales), it's no surprise a live-action sequel is already in the works. More to come…
