About Jurassic World Rebirth A new era is born. This summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth.
Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind.
Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.
Academy Award® nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora's operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora's most trusted team member; Critics Choice and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.
The cast includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben's family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs' crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool).
An Amblin Entertainment production, Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of last summer's blockbuster, Twisters. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Denis Stewart.

Missed Brad Pitt's 'F1' in IMAX? You Have One More Chance
In a summer in which Superman and The Fantastic Four were battling the dinosaurs of Jurassic World at the box office, it's strange to think that a movie from Brad Pitt would be considered the underdog. But now, F1: The Movie, the racing film directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), is about to perform an impressive victory lap. After becoming Pitt's highest-grossing movie of all time — with $552 million at the global box office — the movie is headed back to IMAX theaters, according to Variety. Here's how you can catch it. F1: The Movie Box Office Although there's been plenty of competition for IMAX screens this summer. At the beginning of July, Jurassic World Rebirth wasn't even released on IMAX screens because of overcrowding from F1 the previous week and Superman the following week. Despite certain predictions from fans and pundits, Jurassic World Rebirth not being on IMAX screens didn't hurt its box office at all. The movie is currently at $769 million worldwide and is the fourth most successful movie of the year, despite mixed reviews. Comparatively, F1 is at $552 million, an impressive feat considering its battle against big, preexisting franchises.F1: The Movie IMAX Rerelease Date F1: The Movie will return for more IMAX screenings starting August 8, 2025. 'With F1: The Movie, audiences around the world headed to theaters in droves to witness Formula 1 racing like never before, and it showed at the box office,' said Jeff Goldstein, President of Warner Bros., according to Variety. "So, together with our partners at Apple Original Films and IMAX, we jumped at the opportunity to give fans another go-round — or to experience it for the first time — via IMAX's premiere screens and sound, before summer is over.'Missed Brad Pitt's 'F1' in IMAX?

New CASPER Trailer Released Ahead of 30th Anniversary Re-Release in Theaters — GeekTyrant
Casper The Friendly Ghost is set to haunt the big screen again this fall. Universal Pictures just dropped a brand-new trailer for the 1995 family favorite Casper , celebrating its 30th anniversary with a theatrical re-release on October 3rd. Directed by Brad Silberling, in his feature film debut, the movie was a 90s kid essential that gave us a spooky, heartwarming story that was packed with ghostly fun. Casper stars Bill Pullman as ghost therapist Dr. Harvey and Christina Ricci as his daughter Kat, who move into a creaky mansion only to discover it's inhabited by a lonely young ghost and his chaotic uncles. ''Can I keep you?'' That unforgettable line still hits. In the story, the Harveys encounter Casper, voiced by Malachi Pearson, a friendly ghost with a big heart who's just looking for a friend. 'They also have to deal with the trio of wild and hilarious uncles - Stretch, Stinkie, and Fatso - voiced by Joe Nipote, Joe Alasky, and Brad Garrett, respectively. The cast is loaded with comedic talent including Cathy Moriarty, Eric Idle, Ben Stein, and memorable cameos like Father Guido Sarducci (Don Novello) and The Crypt Keeper (John Kassir). For many of us who grew up in the 90s, Casper wasn't just a movie, it was the kid-friendly ghost story of the era. The film was written by Sherri Stoner and Deanna Oliver, based on the beloved Harvey Comics character created by Seymour Reit and Joe Oriolo. Colin Wilson produced the film, and it originally hit theaters during the summer of 1995. Whether you're revisiting it for nostalgia or introducing it to a new generation, this re-release is a perfect excuse to experience the charm of Casper all over again, this time on the big screen.

Jim Lovell died months before 'Apollo 13' film's 30th anniversary return to theaters
Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell died six weeks before the movie about his rescue mission is set for a 30th anniversary rerelease in IMAX. Lovell, the 97-year-old Gemini XII and Apollo astronaut who died Aug. 7, with the help of NASA engineers in Houston led his crew return safely to Earth during the nearly disastrous Apollo 13 mission on April 13, 1970. This story of heroism was adapted for the screen by Ron Howard, with Oscar winner Tom Hanks portraying Lovell in 1995's "Apollo 13." The summer blockbuster, which picked up a few trophies during the 1996 Academy Awards, featured a star-studded cast, which included Kevin Bacon, the late Bill Paxton, Ed Harris and Gary Sinise. To mark the film's 30th anniversary, Universal Pictures announced "Apollo 13" will head back to IMAX theaters across the United States. The Sept. 19, 2025, IMAX premiere celebrates the 30th anniversary of the film's original June 30, 1995, theatrical release. According to Universal, the based-on-a-true-story film was "the very first Hollywood feature film to be digitally re-mastered into The IMAX Experience." Looking back at Jim Lovell's career: Apollo 13 was only part of the astronaut's incredible life Who was Jim Lovell? Lovell, who was born in Cleveland, Ohio, became an astronaut in 1962 and launched into space three years later on the historic Gemini VII mission, according to his NASA biography. Lovell also commanded the Gemini XII mission, a four-day flight that brought the program to an end. Lovell and his crew became the first people to leave Earth's gravitational pull on the 1968 Apollo 8 mission to the moon, and he was set to make another voyage to the moon two years later on his fourth mission, Apollo 13. But the lunar landing was averted after an oxygen tank exploded during the voyage. The astronauts faced an extreme shortage of water and power, as well as dangerous levels of carbon dioxide. In Lovell's four voyages into outer space, he never left his footprint on the moon — a disappointment for the overachiever. He was supposed to be the fifth person to walk on the moon on Apollo 13. "I'm very proud of 13, even though I didn't land on the moon," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, part of the USA TODAY Network, in 2020. "That was a disappointment for me, but then a lot of people landed on the moon." What happened with Apollo 13? The "Apollo 13" movie is inspired by the nearly disastrous April 1970 mission of the same name in which NASA's third planned mission to the moon had to be abandoned when an oxygen tank exploded on the service module. For the three astronauts selected for the mission – Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise – the critical mishap two days into the mission transformed the spaceflight into a life-or-death situation. Relying on backup life-support systems on the Apollo Lunar Module meant to transport them to the moon's surface from orbit, the astronauts used primitive methods of celestial navigation to make their way back to Earth. While in constant communication with flight controllers in Houston the astronauts safely made a water landing April 17, 1970, in the South Pacific Ocean – six days after launching from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 'Apollo 13' cast included Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon "Apollo 13's" ensemble cast portrayed the mission's astronauts, their families and the NASA engineers who helped get them home. Here are the actors and their real-life counterparts. as NASA astronaut Jim Lovell as NASA astronaut Fred Haise Kevin Bacon as NASA astronaut Jack Swigert as NASA astronaut Ken Mattingly Ed Harris as Gene Kranz, NASA's Chief Flight Director as Marilyn Lovell Who were the astronauts of NASA's Apollo 13 mission? The mission was under Lovell's command. Jack Swigert, the command module pilot, had been selected as a NASA astronaut in 1966. Swigert, who hailed from Denver, was a backup astronaut for the Apollo 13 mission and replaced astronaut Ken Mattingly, who was grounded after exposure to rubella. The third crew member of Apollo 13 was Biloxi, Mississippi's Fred Haise, the Lunar Module pilot who was part of the same astronaut class as Swigert. Haise, 91 is the remaining living crew member of Apollo 13. This article originally appeared on Florida Today: Astronaut Jim Lovell dies ahead of 'Apollo 13' returning to IMAX
