Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro's comedy film 'Meet The Parents 4' gets a new title
The Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro starrer Meet the Parents 4 has officially been renamed Focker in Law, reported Variety. The fourth instalment of the series will also star Blythe Danner, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson, with singer Ariana Grande joining the cast. The new film's title references the surname of Stiller's character, Greg Focker, in the film. In the original movie, Stiller's character endures a lot of painfully awkward hijinks while visiting his girlfriend's parents for the first time. Meet the Parents, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, became a box office blockbuster with $330 million (Dh1.2 billion) worldwide. This comedy film then spawned two commercially successful sequels: 2004's Meet the Fockers (which introduced Greg's parents, Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman) and 2010's Little Fockers. Stiller teased the next instalment during a 25th anniversary screening of Meet the Parents, saying they only returned because they found an "organic reason" to revisit these characters, reported Variety. "What spurred the idea is that I'm the age that Bob was when we did the first movie. It felt like a mirror to the first film, where one of my kids is thinking about introducing his person to the family," Stiller was quoted as saying by Variety. De Niro revealed he's read the screenplay, though he stopped short of offering any plot details. "The script is really fun. I'm looking forward to it," he said. Focker in Law is directed by John Hamburg. It is slated to hit theatres on November 25, 2026.

Zawya Cinema screens Yemeni film ‘The Burdened'
The film is based on true events that took place in Aden around 2019. Yemeni film, The Burdened, which served as Yemen's official submission for Best Foreign Film at the 96th Academy Awards, is screening at Cairo's Zawya Cinema until July 29. Directed and co-written by Amr Gamal alongside Mazen Refaat, lensed by Mrinal Desai, edited by Heba Othman, and co-produced by Amjad Abu Alala, The Burdened boasts a stellar cast featuring Khaled Hamdan, Abeer Mohammed, Samah Alamrani, and Awsam Abdulrahman. The film is produced by Mohsen Alkhalifi and Amr Gamal at Adenium Productions, with co-production support from Amjad Abu Alala, Mohammed Alomda at Station Films, and the Red Sea International Film Festival. It also brings together Yemen, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia in a landmark co-production that was first brought to international attention at the 2022 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where it earned the Works in Progress Post-Production Development Award in the festival's industry sidebar, Eastern Promises. MAD Solutions is managing the film's distribution in the Arab world, while Films Boutique is managing its international sales. The narrative of The Burdened, based on true events in Aden circa 2019, unfolds the challenges faced by a married couple and their three children after both lose their jobs due to the economic crisis gripping the country. The story takes a poignant turn when the mother discovers she is expecting a fourth child, prompting the family to grapple with conservative societal norms as they attempt to secure an abortion, ultimately making tough decisions for survival. Following its world premiere at the Berlinale's Panorama Section, where it became the first Yemeni film officially selected at the German festival, The Burdened achieved acclaim by winning the Amnesty International Film Award and the second-place Audience Award. The film continued its success by screening at prestigious film festivals worldwide, securing accolades such as the Best Screenplay Award at Durban, the Best Directing and Best Screenplay Jury Awards at Valencia, a Special Jury Award for Best Film at the Taipei Film Festival, and the Gold Hugo Award at the Chicago International Film Festival. The film embarked on a notable festival tour, participating in events like the Shanghai, Sydney, Beijing, Golden Apricot Yerevan, Cairo, Zurich, War On Screen, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Rio de Janeiro, and Bergen film festivals, in addition to competing at the Septimius Awards. Amr Gamal, an independent Yemeni film and theatre director born in Poland in 1983, spearheads this cinematic venture.
