Nathan Fillion to Play Guy Gardner in DC's "Lanterns"
Yara Sameh
HBO's upcoming DC series 'Lanterns' has tapped Nathan Fillion to play Guy Gardner, one of multiple Green Lanterns in the cast.
This will be far from Fillion's first time playing a Lantern. He debuted as one of DC's green heroes in the 2011 animated film 'Green Lantern: Emerald Knights.' In it, he was the voice actor for Hal Jordan, one of many members of the Green Lantern Corps.
He played the role again in 2012's 'Justice League: Doom,' 2013's 'Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox,' 2015's 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis,' 2018's 'The Death of Superman' and 2019's 'Reign of the Supermen.' Each of the animated films was a straight-to-DVD release.
In 2023, he was cast as a Green Lantern in James Gunn's live-action film 'Superman,' but as Gardner instead of Jordan. The film opens in theaters via Warner Bros. this July.
'Lanterns' stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart. Per the official logline, the series 'follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.' Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan and Ulrich Thomsen also star.
Chris Mundy serves as showrunner of 'Lanterns,' and wrote the pilot with Damon Lindelof and Tom King. All three executive produce alongside Gunn, Peter Safran, Ron Schmidt and James Hawes, who is directing the first two episodes. Stephen Williams, Geeta Vasant Patel and Alik Sakharov will also direct. The series entered production in February.

"One of Them Days" Sequel in Works with SZA and Keke Palmer Returning
Yara Sameh A sequel to SZA and Keke Palmer's hit comedy 'One of Them Days' is in early development at TriStar Pictures. SZA and Palmer are expected to return for the new movie, along with the film's original creative team, but plot details are still being kept under wraps. Directed by Lawrence Lamont in his feature debut and from a script written by Syreeta Singleton, 'One of Them Days' was a breakout hit at the box office, grossing over $50 million worldwide after its January release — a particularly strong number for an R-rated mid-budget comedy. The critically acclaimed movie (with a stellar 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) was also a standout on Netflix, where it spent three weeks on the giant streamer's top 10 list. "One of Them Days" follows best friends and roommates Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) as they race against the clock to avoid eviction when they discover Alyssa's partner has blown their rent money on the same day Dreux has an important interview for her dream gig. The South Los Angeles-set movie, which drew comparisons to classic comedies like 'Friday,' also stars Lil Rel Howery, Janelle James, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Maude Apatow, Katt Williams, Joshua Neal, Aziza Scott, Patrick Cage, Dewayne Perkins, Amin Joseph, Gabrielle Dennis, and DomiNque Perry. 'One of Them Days' was produced by Issa Rae's Hoorae Media with Macro Film Studios co-financing. Producers also included ColorCreative co-founder Deniese Davis, Hoorae's Sara Rastogi and Macro's James Lopez and Poppy Hanks. Executive producers were Palmer, Sharon Palmer, Charles D. King and Jeff Valeri. The film was born from the CoCre lab at Sony Pictures, which was a previous collaboration between the studio and ColorCreative to source and incubate emerging, diverse screenwriters to develop and write their first studio feature based on original ideas. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

"The Sandman" to End with Extra Episode
Yara Sameh Netflix's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's ' The Sandman ' is still ending with Season 2, but fans will get one more episode than they believed. The giant streamer revealed on Tuesday that, in addition to the 11 episodes already announced, a bonus twelfth episode will be released on July 31. The bonus episode is titled 'The Sandman Presents: Death: The High Cost of Living' and will focus on the character Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste). As previously announced, the first six episodes of Season 2 will premiere on July 3, with the next five premiering on July 24. Netflix has also revealed the 11 titles for those episodes, which can be seen below. Season 2 will bring several fan-favorite storylines from the comics to life, including the 'Season of Mists,' 'Brief Lives,' 'The Kindly Ones,' and 'The Sandman: Overture' collections. The season will also include single-issue stories such as 'Tales in the Sand,' 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' 'The Song of Orpheus,' 'Thermidor,' and 'The Tempest,' among others. Per the description for the second and final chapter of 'The Sandman,' 'After a fateful reunion with his family, Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge) must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds. To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything. Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series, the second season of 'The Sandman' will tell Dream's story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion.' The cast for Season 2 also includes Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Esmé Creed-Miles, Adrian Lester, Barry Sloane, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Jenna Coleman, Ferdinand Kingsley, Stephen Fry, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Razane Jammal, Ruairi O'Connor, Freddie Fox, Clive Russell, Laurence O'Fuarain, Ann Skelly, Douglas Booth, Jack Gleeson, Indya Moore, and Steve Coogan. Netflix and 'The Sandman' showrunner Allan Heinberg had plotted the second season to be the final since before it was filmed in the summer of 2023. However, the streamer did not confirm the end of the show until January of this year, which coincided with the timing of sexual misconduct accusations leveled against 'The Sandman' graphic novel author and series executive producer Neil Gaiman.
