Frodo and Gandalf shall return in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum
The heroes of Middle-earth are making a comeback in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum. Actor Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movies, revealed that both Gandalf and Frodo will return to Middle-earth on the big screen. McKellen broke the news on August 17 at the For the Love of Fantasy fan event in London. 'I'll tell you two secrets about the casting,' said McKellen. 'There's a character in the movie called Frodo, and there's a character in the movie called Frodo, and there's a character in the movie called Gandalf. Apart from that, my lips are sealed.' Recommended Videos Scheduled to premiere on December 17, 2027, The Hunt for Gollum will be directed by Andy Serkis, who played Gollum in Jackson's Middle-earth films. Jackson will serve as a producer, with Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, Phoebe Gittins, and Arty Papageorgiou writing the script. Warner Bros. will also produce the film under New Line Cinema. Screen Rant reports that The Hunt for Gollum will be set before Frodo leaves the Shire in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It will follow Gollum when he is being pursued by Gandalf, Aragorn, and the Dark Lord Sauron. Frodo and Gandalf's appearance is huge news for fans of The Lord of the Rings films. While McKellen didn't state that he and Elijah Wood would portray Gandalf and Frodo in the film, Serkis is reprising his role as Gollum for the project. It stands to reason that both McKellen and Wood will join Serkis back in Middle-earth as their respective characters. If both McKellen and Wood do appear, The Hunt for Gollum would be the first film in 15 years that would feature both actors as Gandalf and Frodo, with the last one being 2012's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Gandalf and Frodo's return may be a huge boon for The Hunt for Gollum. The last theatrical film in the franchise, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, didn't perform that well commercially without Frodo or Gandalf. Since these two characters were some of the main characters in Jackson's Lord of the Rings films, they could attract enough fans to make The Hunt for Gollum a box-office success.

Infineon finalises $2.5bn acquisition of Marvell's Automotive Ethernet unit
Germany-based chipmaker Infineon Technologies has completed the purchase of Marvell Technology's Automotive Ethernet business for a total of $2.5bn in cash. The deal, initially announced in April this year, has now cleared all regulatory hurdles. This strategic move bolsters Infineon's capabilities in the burgeoning market for software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and enhances its standing in the automotive microcontroller sphere. According to Infineon, ethernet technology is instrumental in facilitating swift and efficient data transfer among various vehicle components. It is particularly critical for the functionality of SDVs. By integrating Marvell's Automotive Ethernet offerings, which include PHY transceivers, bridges, and switches, Infineon aims to deliver a robust suite of solutions to its clientele. These products are essential for the underlying communication systems in SDVs, offering networking capabilities that range from 100Mbps to 10Gbps, along with the requisite security and safety features. The acquired business boasts a design-win pipeline projected to be worth approximately $4bn by 2030, and it is anticipated to generate revenues between $225m and $250m this calendar year, with a gross margin near 60%. Infineon has financed this acquisition through a mix of readily available funds and new debt, with financial backing secured from banking institutions. The company is poised to further develop its Ethernet business, fostering innovation and swiftly translating it into customer benefits. Infineon noted that a dedicated "Ethernet Solutions" business line has been established within its automotive division to centralise expertise in this area. Moreover, the acquisition is expected to reinforce Infineon's footprint in the US market, particularly in the realms of research and development activities. Marvell Technology CEO and chairman Matt Murphy said: 'Through relentless innovation and deep partnerships across the automotive industry, they've established a leadership position in this critical technology area. Infineon is the right company to take this business to the next level – with the scale, portfolio breadth, and customer reach to unlock its full potential. 'We're confident this move will create exciting opportunities for continued growth, and we look forward to seeing the team thrive as part of Infineon.'

Bella Hadid Gives Butter Yellow an 11th Hour Rebrand
Is it possible that the dress is also a nod to her fruity Eternal Roots? Perhaps, instead of butter, the pale yellow actually reminds Hadid of the off-white flesh of a lychee. Whether or not the color is a subtle sartorial nod, to her latest venture, the look fits right into her recent summery style, filled with flowing silhouettes from popular, more accessible brands like Mirror Palais, For Love & Lemons, Mango, and With Jéan. Butter yellow faces challengers for the color du jour—Hailey Bieber's limoncello yellow and Taylor Swift's showgirl orange among them. But if anyone can revive the pastel hue, it's Bella Hadid.
