I'm sort of learning these fights and I'm like, 'What? Who am I fighting with?' And they said, 'You're hitting Pedro Pascal against the head,' or something.
Star Wars
During a recent interview with The One Show (via Screen Rant), Natalie Portman stated she'd return to the Star Wars franchise if Padmé Amidala was resurrected from the dead and became a Jedi.
With a lightsaber. I think she'd have to be a Jedi. Somehow, she was brought back from the dead; that would be exciting.
Banquet
Deadline reports Meghann Fahy will star in Banquet, a 'supernatural thriller' from The Platform director, Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia. Fahy will play Jenny Cochrane, 'a woman whose perfect life is shattered by the return of her estranged son, which reawakens a terrifying secret buried in her bloodline.'
Dark Jungle
Variety additionally reports Martin Wilson is attached to direct Dark Jungle, a project following 'a team of elite mercenaries deep in the jungle who embark on a rescue mission only to find themselves hunted by a swarm of giant, deadly bats.'
Bone Keeper
Meanwhile, John Rys-Davies is attached to star in Bone Keeper, a monster movie in which 'six young friends enter a remote cave system to investigate the disappearance of several missing persons, only to find themselves being gradually hunted by a mysterious creature that may have inhabited the cave for thousands of years. The mystery started with a fireball crashing into a remote woodland, awakening a terrifying creature hidden in the depths. Fast forward to 1976, James Wheeler enters a cave determined to uncover the truth – and is never seen again. All that's found is a single frame of Super 8 film, capturing the silhouette of a creature. In the present day, Wheeler's granddaughter, along with five explorers, sets out to investigate the legend of the 'Bone Keeper.' But as they venture deeper, they realize they are being hunted and the line between hunter and prey begins to blur. Will they uncover the truth and escape the creature – or become the next missing souls?' [Variety]

During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, James Wan stated he's still interested in directing a Conjuring 2 spinoff focusing on The Crooked Man.
I still have a movie in my head that I would hopefully love to get off the ground one day, but we'll see. I get fans that reach out to me every now and then, begging us to make a Crooked Man movie. Just as a fan, I would love to do it one day, if I can convince the studio to do so.

Webtoon Stock (WBTN) Soars an Astronomical 85% on News of Disney Deal
The stock of Webtoon Entertainment (WBTN) is up an incredible 85% on Aug. 13 after the online comic book retailer announced that it has struck a deal with Walt Disney Co. (DIS). Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The deal, which was announced alongside strong financial results, brings Disney characters such as Luke Skywalker and Spider-Man to Webtoon's online comic book platform. That news has led WBTN stock to explode higher in early trading. Going forward, Webtoon will make comic books featuring popular Disney characters such as The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, and Star Wars available to its users. Disney owns Marvel Comics and the Star Wars franchise. The deal brings Marvel comic books to Webtoon, which already features DC Comics characters such as Superman and Batman. Surprise Profit Webtoon claims to have 155 million monthly active users on its digital comic book platform. News of the Disney deal came as Webtoon also announced a surprise profit for this year's second quarter, along with better-than-expected sales. The company reported a quarterly profit of $0.07 a share, while revenue rose 8.5% year-over-year to $348.3 million. Analysts were expecting a loss of $0.14 a share on revenue of $340.6 million from Webtoon. The comic book company went public via an initial public offering (IPO) in June 2024. Shares have struggled since then, falling 55% in 2025 before the big rebound on Aug. 13. Is WBTN Stock a Buy? The stock of Webtoon has a consensus Moderate Buy rating among eight Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on four Buy and four Hold recommendations issued in the last three months. The average WBTN price target of $11.57 implies 34.04% downside risk from current levels.

Viral Private Parts Song Teaches Kids Body Boundaries
NOTE: This post contains conversations around sexual abuse. A first-grade teacher named Mrs. Gelda Waterboer is currently going mega viral for how she is teaching her students about body boundaries. Gelda is teaching her students by song. A TikTok of her passionately singing the song in her classroom — where you can hear her students singing along in the background — has gone viral on the platform. "These are my private parts, private parts, private parts," she sings, motioning to her chest, crotch, and behind. The song continues, "These are my private parts, private parts, private parts. No one should touch them. No one should squeeze them. And if you touch my private parts, private parts, private parts, I will tell my mother. I will tell my father. I will tell my teacher," Gelda repeats the lyrics of the song with her students once more in her video that has been viewed nearly 42 million times. You can watch the full song here. One thing people immediately noticed was Gelda's intense delivery of the song... Which she was quickly applauded for, because she put so much intention behind it. People also praised the song for being something that young children can quickly pick up on and recollect if needed. BuzzFeed spoke to Gelda, who has been teaching for nine years. She said teaching is not just her job, it is her calling. "For me, teaching is not only about ABCs and 123s — it's also about raising children who are aware, confident, and safe. My classroom is a space where learning meets safety, love, and trust. The viral TikTok moment was unexpected, but it showed me that this message resonates far and wide. If one song can empower one child to speak up, then I know I'm making a difference. I hope more teachers, parents, and communities embrace these conversations early, so that every child grows up knowing their worth and their right to safety," she said. When Gelda first heard the private parts song on YouTube a few years ago, it struck her deeply. "It wasn't just catchy — it was a powerful tool for teaching children about their own boundaries and safety in a way they could understand. Because of my own childhood experiences, I know what it feels like to be hurt by people you trust and to feel like there is no one you can talk to. I promised myself that every child who comes through my classroom would learn that their voice matters, that their body belongs to them, and that it's always okay to speak up," she said. Here is the original YouTube song she sings in her TikTok. And that is why Gelda said she sings the song with so much intention. "It is personal for me — it's more than just a lesson, it's a life skill. Many children are unaware of their right to say 'no' or to tell a trusted adult when something feels wrong. This song opens the door to that conversation in a way that's safe, engaging, and memorable. My goal is to equip my students with confidence and the courage to protect themselves, both now and in the future." The responses from the parents of her students have been overwhelmingly positive, too. "Many parents thanked me for introducing such an important topic in a way that children can relate to. Some have even told me that their children went home and shared the song with siblings and friends, meaning the message is spreading beyond the classroom." And despite some arguments in the comments saying that first graders are "too young," Gelda's song is supported by substantial research and evidence showing that children aged three to five should be taught about body autonomy. Studies indicate that using proper names for body parts helps children develop awareness and confidence. Furthermore, introducing simple concepts like 'safe touch' versus 'unsafe touch,' along with encouraging kids to speak up — even about difficult feelings — helps parents establish a foundation of trust, open communication, and early abuse prevention. So, ultimately, early education on body safety helps protect children by giving them the tools and confidence to advocate for themselves. Globally, an estimated one in five girls (18.9%) and one in seven boys (14.8%) experience some form of sexual abuse before the age of 18, according to 2023 data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). In the United States, studies show that Black girls face disproportionately higher rates of sexual abuse, with some research indicating they are over three times more likely to be sexually abused than white girls. That is why Gelda is continuing to create important conversations on her page to spread awareness. In another viral TikTok, she explains what is happening in South Africa, which borders where she currently lives in Namibia. "There is a great concern in the comment section when it comes to the safety of the kids in their own home. I remember back in 2020, a beautiful 2-week-old baby girl lost her life in her father's hands, and now, recently in South Africa, a beautiful girl, Nikita, lost her life in the hands of her own father. So who is going to protect these kids if the ones that are supposed to protect them are not protecting them?" "A community is needed. An uproar is needed. A great awareness is needed. And there needs to be people who are willing to give their ear, who are willing to give their hand to these kids. There needs to be a community of people who are willing to really stand in a gap, even if it's not their responsibility... People, guardians, and parents: believe your children when they tell you something. Believe them. Some people trust their partners so much that when their kids raise their voice and try to tell them something, they disregard their own children. Believe your child," she concludes. Currently, Gelda is working to build a safe place for kids called Sanctuary of Love. "It is a dream that has lived in my heart for many years — a safe haven where vulnerable and less fortunate children can find care, comfort, and hope for a brighter future. As a teacher, I have seen the struggles many children face, and I believe every child deserves to feel loved, protected, and valued. I have already applied for land to build the shelter and will complete all formal paperwork as soon as it becomes available," she said. Lastly, many people have asked Gelda where they can contribute to help. In Namibia, she is unable to receive donations through charitable crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe, so if you want to get in contact with her about how you can help, connect with Gelda on TikTok here. The Child National Abuse Hotline is: 1‑800‑4‑A‑CHILD (1‑800‑422‑4453), and crisis counselors are available 24/7, in over 170 languages. You can also find more resources at the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN).
