'Everyone is excited,' he said.
The Snake Eyes and Another Simple Favor actor said he met Awkwafina 'the other night' and 'not too long ago' reconnected with Chan and
Crazy Rich Asians co-writer Adele Lim in London 'to sort of discuss where we're heading'.

Meet #RichTok influencer Skyelar Chase: the Columbia U student is blowing up thanks to her lavish lifestyle, from trips on private jets and stays at Aman, to rocking head-to-toe Chloé at Coachella
A new wave of influencers is taking over social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. Gone are the days of Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae , who earned their internet fame and fortune through dancing or dramatically lip-synching to the hottest song of the week. These days, the internet has turned its attention to the likes of Becca Bloom , Mei Leung, and Chloe L. who, youth and beauty aside, have two things in common – they're rich and they're Asian. Skyelar Chase has become a popular influencer on TikTok's #RichTok subculture. Photo: @skyelarchase/Instagram Dubbed the Crazy Rich Asians by #RichTok, a TikTok subculture that celebrates 'old money' culture and affluence, these ladies have built impressive followings on social media by unapologetically flashing the opulent lifestyles they were born into. The most recent addition to the internet's list of favourite rich Asians is Skyelar Chase. Here is everything you need to know. She's a student at Columbia University Skyelar Chase is a student at Columbia University. Photo: @skyelarchase/Instagram Advertisement Per Chase's Instagram, the influencer is a student at Columbia University. A day in the life for the internet personality includes waking up in her luxury hotel suite and primping for quick photoshoots – with Victoria's Secret no less – in between classes. 'You're like the literal Blair Waldorf/Serena van der Woodsen in NYC and I'm livinggggg for it,' one follower commented on an Instagram video of Chase getting ready for the day, referencing the beloved teen drama Gossip Girl Private jets and expensive holidays are par for the course in her life Skyelar Chase's lavish lifestyle includes trips on private jets and stays at Aman hotels. Photo: @skyelarchase/Instagram While it's unclear who Chase's parents are, it's obvious that they travel in style. Family holidays for the socialite mean private planes, Rimowa luggage , and being ferried around in Cadillac Escalades. Family getaways aside, Chase can be spotted lounging in Aman hotels across the globe or wearing head-to-toe designer gear at fashion week. At Coachella this year, she stunned in a full Chloé look. Unlike fellow #Richtok influencer Becca Bloom, whose outfits are often elevated and corporate, Chase's outfits tend to be more relaxed (though still exorbitant in price). Skyelar Chase has her own fashion company

'It Was Just an Accident' wins the Palme d'Or Filmmaker Jafar Panahi poses with the Palme d'Or award. Photo: AFP Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday for his revenge thriller 'It Was Just an Accident". Panahi's win put him in rare company. He's now won Cannes' Palme d'Or, Venice's Golden Lion (for 'The Circle') and Berlin's Golden Bear (for 'Taxi'). Only three other filmmakers have done that: Henri-Georges Clouzot, Michelangelo Antonioni and Robert Altman. The Grand Prix, or second prize, was awarded to Joachim Trier's Norwegian family drama 'Sentimental Value,' his lauded follow-up to 'The Worst Person in the World.' Kleber Mendonça Filho's Brazilian political thriller 'The Secret Agent" won two big awards: best director for Filho and best actor for Wagner Moura. The jury prize was split between two films: Óliver Laxe's desert road trip 'Sirât " and Mascha Schilinski's German, generation-spanning drama 'Sound of Falling.' Best actress went to Nadia Melliti for 'The Little Sister,' Hafsia Herzi's French coming-of-age drama. The Belgian brothers Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, who are two-time Palme d'Or winners, won best screenplay for their latest drama, 'Young Mothers.' Its their ninth prize in Cannes. The festival's award for best first film, the Camera d'Or, went to Hasan Hadi for 'The President's Cake,' making it the first Iraqi film to win an award at the festival. (AP)

AI Star Wars villain Darth Vader in Fortnite video game sparks actors' union to sue
Many delighted in the character's apparent wit, laughing as he tells them off for poor technique, or suggests that they are cheating. Users were quick to adopt the Sith Lord on their missions, posting clips of their interactions with one of cinema's most famous bad guys. Using AI models, developer Epic Games introduced the Emperor's consigliere into Battle Royale, a player-versus-player version of Fortnite in which squads form to defeat other contestants online. Fortnite announced last week it had got permission from the family of James Earl Jones to make a chatty Star Wars villain based on the late actor's voice work in the smash hit space opera series. An actors' union is suing the makers of the Fortnite video game over the use of AI to create an interactive Darth Vader. 'The empire has no need for fast food,' he chides one player who asks what his McDonald's order would be. 'If I were forced to endure such a culinary experience, I would take a Chicken Selects Meal with large fries and a Coca-Cola drink.' But actors' union SAG-AFTRA was not amused, claiming the use of AI in video games puts performers out of work. 'We celebrate the right of our members and their estates to control the use of their digital replicas and welcome the use of new technologies,' it said. James Earl Jones (above) gave the Darth Vader character his distinctive voice. Photo: Michael Zorn/Invision/AP 'However, we must protect our right to bargain terms and conditions around uses of voice that replace the work of our members, including those who previously did the work of matching Darth Vader's iconic rhythm and tone in video games.' The union, which says it represents around 160,000 people, says Epic's subsidiary did not talk to its negotiators over how AI would be used in the game. SAG-AFTRA said it had filed a claim for unfair labour practice with the National Labour Relations Board, a US federal agency that protects workers' rights to organise and negotiate. Epic Games did not immediately respond to queries, but a statement released last week cited Jones's family saying they were pleased with the project. 'We hope that this collaboration with Fortnite will allow both long-time fans of Darth Vader and newer generations to share in the enjoyment of this iconic character,' the family said. 'Darth Vader' accepts the ultimate villain award from Star Wars creator George Lucas at the 2011 Scream Awards, in Los Angeles. Photo: AP Performers have become concerned about the use of artificial intelligence in films, TV and video games. Improving technology makes it increasingly possible to digitally recreate the audio and visual likeness of an actor. The strikes that crippled Hollywood in 2023 stemmed in part from fears that studios would seek to use digital models to replace human performers and creators. Video game actors began their own strike against major players in the sector in July 2024. Advertisement
