Jeff Bezos is reportedly "obsessed" with making Lauren Sanchez the next Bond girl
The search for the next Bond girl has always been a closely guarded Hollywood secret — but this time, the most surprising contender might already be linked to the top dog at the studio controlling the shots. According to an exclusive report from Rob Shuter, Jeff Bezos may have already chosen the woman he wants to star opposite the next James Bond: his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos. A Hollywood insider told Shuter the Amazon founder is 'obsessed' with the idea of Sánchez stepping into the role, adding that it's not just playful speculation. 'He wants her on screen in one way or another,' the source said. The rumor comes as fans continue to speculate about who will replace Daniel Craig as 007. Amazon MGM Studios officially took creative control of the franchise earlier this year, after longtime producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli agreed to share ownership while handing Bezos's studio the creative reins. If Sánchez were to land the part, it would be a buzzy — and no doubt controversial — move for the iconic spy series. For now, it remains unconfirmed (but as any Bond fan knows, surprises are part of the thrill).

'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega on shooting THAT scene: 'Wednesday truly is out of her depth' (exclusive)
Ortega and director Tim Burton break down season 2, part 1's Points Jenna Ortega shares what it was like to film the final scene of Part 1. Ortega talks about Enid and Wednesday's relationship and why it's so important. Emma Myers shares her favorite episodes of Part article contains spoilers for Part 1 of season 2. For the first four episodes of Wednesday's second season, the teenage sleuth has had a lot on her plate. Not only has her family complicated matters by joining her at Nevermore this year, but there's also a new killer in town. Oh, and then there's the small issue of Wednesday's (Jenna Ortega) visions telling her that she's going to be the cause of Enid's (Emma Myers) death. "I think it's really important to see girls looking after each other and caring about one another," Ortega tells Entertainment Weekly during an interview for our latest digital cover story. "I don't think anyone could look at our show or look at any of the relationships between the women —besides maybe the familial ones — and see them as anything but supportive or understanding. And that's really great to see, especially in a school environment." The good news — at least for now — is that Enid has survived the first half of the season. The bad news is that Part 1 ended with Tyler (Hunter Doohan), in full Hyde form, launching Wednesday out of a second story window before escaping from Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. 'It's the first time, at least in the season, where Wednesday truly is out of her depth,' Ortega says of the moment Wednesday comes face-to-face with the Hyde. 'They were talking about me running down the hall or me doing some sort of slide underneath [the Hyde], and I remember telling them, 'I don't think so, because this isn't an action show. And Wednesday's too smart for that. She has to understand that there's no chance. She could run, but it's a huge monster.' So, I started saying that, and then it kind of piggybacked into Tim's idea of it just being this really, really quiet silence, which stands out from the rest of the episode.' Director Tim Burton made the choice not to show the actual moment where the Hyde throws Wednesday, instead cutting to outside of the window, where audiences sit in a brief silence before the heroine comes crashing through. 'It felt very poetic and dramatic and surprising,' Burton says of the decision. Ortega adds, 'We don't need to see everything. Sometimes it's better to leave it to the audience's imagination.' Thanks to a Part 2 preview — and EW's exclusive first-look photos — we know Wednesday isn't really dead. Thanks to creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, we also know that Enid is still in danger. And according to the cast, that leads to a lot of good episodes for the rest of the season. 'All of my favorite episodes are in the back half of the season,' Myers says. "My favorite episode is 7; I had a blast shooting it. Wait, episode 6 is crazy too! Episode 6 was probably the most difficult thing I've ever had to film. I'm so excited for people to watch. They're gonna die." For Ortega, it's all about the big finale. "The finale episode, we did have a ball," she says. "You could tell Tim was in the zone, and it's very graphic and comic book-esque at times. That was very exciting."For more, read EW's latest digital cover story. Part 2 of Wednesday premieres on Sept. 3 on Netflix. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

What If Batman Was the Real Villain All Along? This Animated Sketch Explores the Darkest Timeline — GeekTyrant
In a darkly funny animated short titled If Batman Was a Real Billionaire, Gotham's greatest protector becomes its most terrifying overlord. Instead of dishing out vigilante justice, this version of Batman leans hard into late-stage capitalism. The Joker's plan to poison the water supply? Doesn't matter when Batman already owns the water company. Penguin's next big media stunt? Good luck getting airtime when the Bat owns the news. Henchmen? They're now stocking shelves at a Bat-branded fulfillment center earning minimum wage… in Bat-Bucks. It's a funny satire that flips the script on the billionaire superhero trope, asking what real-world power and unchecked wealth would actually look like in a world like Gotham. This Batman doesn't just fight crime, he's buying up the infrastructure, the hospitals, the courts, and even mining the public's data. By the end of it, even the classic rogues gallery has to admit defeat.
