Paramount 斥資製作 Timothée Chalamet 主演動作驚悚大片《High Side》
被譽為今季最炙手可熱的交易之一，ParamountPictures 已成功搶下《High Side》，這部全新動作驚悚片將再度撮合Timothée Chalamet與備受讚譽的導演 James Mangold，象徵二人在憑 Bob Dylan 傳記片《A Complete Unknown》獲奧斯卡提名後的大膽嘗試。
本片取材自 Jaime Oliveira 尚未公開的短篇故事，聚焦於 Billy —— 一位因毀滅性意外與家族心結而深陷陰影的前越野機車車手。多年前疏遠的哥哥突然現身，拉他一起騎車犯下一連串銀行劫案；FBI 亦緊追在後，使這場生死豪賭遠比 Billy 想像中更兇險。
Paramount Pictures 共同主席 Dana Goldberg 與 Josh Greenstein 在聲明中表示：「我們很高興能與 James 和 Timothée 這樣的遠見創作者合作，同時感謝 Peter、David 以及 Chernin 團隊的支持。Jaime 的劇本完美呼應 Paramount 力挺『大膽原創』的定位 —— 我們已經整裝待發，全速推進《High Side》。」
此次合作可謂強強聯手。Mangold 憑藉《Ford v Ferrari》與《Logan》等作品展示其擅長糅合動作與情感，無疑是執導本片的最佳人選；對 Chalamet 而言，這部作品將為他開啟新的篇章 —— 首次挑戰純粹的動作主角。影片現正處於前期製作階段，更多選角消息將陸續公布。

Providence's Bonded Vault robbery, 50 years later
I asked Tim to reflect on everything he's learned, and update us on whether we'll ever see a proper version of this story told on the big screen. Q: You're airing a special report at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on the 50th anniversary of the heist. What should viewers expect to see? Advertisement White: I've tracked down a lot of material over two decades of reporting on the heist, including a wild video of the lead gunman's alleged funeral. A while ago, someone leaked me another video of him discussing the caper – he was in witness protection at the time, so it was kept under wraps for years. Tonight's reports use WPRI archive video to retell how the heist went down, showcase its impact on Get Rhode Island News Alerts Sign up to get breaking news and interesting stories from Rhode Island in your inbox each weekday. Enter Email Sign Up Q: This story has had a decades-long shelf life, and you coauthored the definitive book on it. But I still wonder if readers today understand quite how seismic it was in the 1970s. Is this even the kind of heist that could happen today? Advertisement White: This heist shouldn't have happened then, to be honest – the gang of thieves that stormed 101 Cranston St. in Providence wasn't exactly the crew from 'Ocean's 11.' And what made it even more remarkable was that Bonded Vault was probably the safest place to hide ill-gotten gains in 1975, because it was controlled by the mob itself. But as we detailed in the book, the gang had the approval of the boss himself, the late Raymond L.S. Patriarca, though he always denied involvement. The case wound up leading to the longest and most expensive trial in state history, and had all sorts of other ripple effects. Q: Your father was obviously a legendary reporter, and you have a great story about how your family helped you land the scoop of a lifetime when you tracked down one of the leaders of the robbery. Tell us about that. White: My coauthors and I were struggling to figure out what happened to the lead gunman, Robert Dussault. The feds whisked him away after he testified for the government. In 2008, three years after Dad died, my mom brought me a box of stuff from her basement which included an empty envelope. The return address was from Colorado with a name I didn't recognize: Robert Dempsey. But I remembered Dad telling me Dussault was relocated and given a job at Coors Brewing. I figured out the return address was a prison, and records showed the inmate was dead. I used those documents to request Dempsey's FBI file, and nearly two years later I got a box in the mail with hundreds of pages. The top sheet: 'Robert Dussault a.k.a. Robert Dempsey.' It completed the story. If mom hadn't dropped off that box, I'm not sure we'd be doing this Q&A. Advertisement Q: You wrote the book about this, and there was also a third-rate White: Bestselling author and screenwriter Don Winslow is still very interested in the project, and as far as Wayne, Randy and I are concerned, he has the best vision for it. Keep your fingers crossed for us. Q: I have to finish with the obligatory organized crime question. We know the Mafia isn't remotely as powerful as it was in the 1970s. But do underground safes or banks like the one in this story still exist for mobsters to hide their ill-gotten gains? White: If there's anything like Bonded Vault that exists today, I'm not aware of it. In this era, tangible loot is more likely to be smuggled to a foreign country with looser rules. And contemporary organized crime cases show 'underground safes' are more often computer network servers that store scammed funds. Call me old school, but it's just not as interesting as a secret room tucked away inside a Providence fur storage warehouse.

Billy Joel to close beloved New York motorcycle shop after diagnosis
Billy Joel is closing his beloved motorcycle shop on Long Island, New York, after nearly 15 years, and will auction off his extensive collection of bikes later this year. The decision to close 20th Century Cycles in late September was made after he was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder, according to a spokesperson, Claire Mercuri. In May, Joel announced that he was cancelling upcoming concerts after learning he has Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, a fluid buildup in his brain that can affect thinking, concentrating, memory, movement and more, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The 76-year-old singer, composer and pianist was having trouble with his balance but otherwise felt good, he said in an interview last month on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast. Joel, who grew up in nearby Hicksville, opened 20th Century Cycles in late 2010 as a place to maintain and repair his motorcycles, restore and customise ones he bought and showcase his collection for the public at no charge. 'It's basically promoting an aesthetic here," he said in a 2013 YouTube video filmed at the shop. "I like the older style. I like the automotive style from the '30s to the '60s. I wanted to collect a whole bunch of those kinds of bikes, put 'em in one place and let people see what that era of bikes looked like. Because it's starting to be a lost aesthetic.' He said he also wanted to bring foot traffic and business to downtown Oyster Bay — a ritzy waterfront community about 25 miles (40 kilometres) east of midtown Manhattan — where part of the street that includes 20th Century Cycles was renamed Billy Joel Way in 2023. 'I've been living in this community for a long time,' he said in the video. 'I actually grew up not far from here. And I'd like to get a little interest going into the town and the village.' Joel's nearby home in Centre Island is listed for $29.9 million, and he has been living in South Florida, while keeping a home in Sag Harbor on Long Island. The shop became a popular stop for motorcycle enthusiasts and tourists. It was home to Joel's collection of more than 75 bikes, dating back all the way to the 1940s and including Harley-Davidsons, Triumphs, Ducatis, Moto Guzzis, Indians and BMWs. One of the most valuable, he said, was a 1952 Vincent Rapide, which can sell for tens of thousands of dollars and sometimes more, according to auction sites. 'I think everybody in Oyster Bay would agree that it's a big loss," said Ted Bahr, who owns a vintage rock poster gallery next to 20th Century Cycles. 'Billy's place is visited on weekends by dozens and dozens of people, typically on motorcycles but also people in cars. People come up and look at the window all the time. I mean, it's a real destination. Billy Joel is a real superstar, and he is a hometown boy, so it's really unfortunate." The motorcycles that were in the shop have already been moved out. But it has been open on recent weekends, selling new, used and vintage motorcycle parts that were still in stock there. Joel's enthusiasm for motorcycles dates back decades. In 1982, he was riding a motorcycle on Long Island when he was struck by a car that ran a red light, injuring his left thumb and dislocating his right wrist. He spent about a month in the hospital. He has also ridden motorcycles in various benefits for 9/11 first responders, breast cancer and other causes over the years. A date for the auction of his collection has not been set.

Sally Holds the Power to Take Cane Down After Billy's Bold Move on Y&R August 13
In the August 13 episode of The Young and the Restless, Billy made a potentially game-changing decision. In a decisive moment, he handed control of Abbott Communications to Sally, which gives her the means to hit Cane where it hurts most. Will she be up to wielding that much power against such a formidable adversary? Billy Hands Over Abbott Communications Billy (Jason Thompson) made a decisive move that could shift the power dynamics in Genoa City's corporate battles. He handed control of Abbott Communications to Sally (Courtney Hope). The handoff wasn't hesitant—Billy gave her his full support to lead the media company her way. This wasn't simply about delegation. By putting Sally in charge, Billy placed her in a prime position to use the company's influence in the brewing war with Cane (Daniel Goddard). MORE: Find out what happens next on Y&R. A Strategic Weapon Against Cane Cane has been maneuvering to expand his reach, building alliances, and keeping his next move under wraps. But Abbott Communications could be a potent weapon, and Sally holds the trigger. Sally now has access to a corporate platform capable of shaping public perception, directing media narratives, and leveraging business connections that could directly impact Cane's ability to operate in Genoa City. Her leadership at Abbott Communications could turn the company into a precision tool aimed squarely at dismantling his plans. High Stakes for Everyone Involved The move comes with risk. Billy knows Cane's ambitions could threaten both Jabot and Chancellor, and his family might see his maneuver as dangerous. But in his view, positioning Sally where she can counter Cane is worth the gamble. Sally, never one to shy away from high-pressure opportunities, is now able to affect Cane's fate. She could choose to use her leverage for maximum damage, or she might keep her powder dry and negotiate for strategic advantage. What Happens Next? The big unknown is how Sally will choose to play this. A fast, aggressive move could destabilize Cane quickly, but it also risks drawing counterattacks from a man known for making bold plays of his own. A slower, more strategic approach could allow her to tighten the pressure until Cane has no room to maneuver. Plus, there's a chance Cane will underestimate Sally since she's relatively unknown in the business world. Either way, Billy's bold handoff has set the stage for a high-stakes showdown—and Sally's next decision could change everything. WATCH THIS: Soap Hub Says discusses the latest soap drama.
