Matthew McConaughey shares trailer for 'The Lost Bus,' filmed in Ruidoso
Actor Matthew McConaughey shared the official trailer for "The Lost Bus," a film shot in Ruidoso in April 2024, months before wildfires would ravage the village. The native Texan shared the action-packed trailer on his official social media accounts on Sunday, June 8, and revealed the flick would be released 'soon' on Apple TV. The movie explores what went wrong in California's Camp Fire, the nation's deadliest wildfire in a century, and includes stories of a bus driver and teacher who helped through a wildfire, played by McConaughey, according to IMDB. An official release date has not been announced by the streaming service. "The Lost Bus" is directed by Paul Greengrass and also stars America Ferrera. The movie also credits Jamie Lee Curtis as one of the film's producers. Both McConaughey and Greengrass were spotted in Ruidoso for several days, with McConaughey captured speaking into a radio while driving a large yellow bus. The movie showcases several local spots, like Ruidoso's neighborhood pharmacy and gas station, according to Ruidoso officials.

Two deaths were reported in the wildfires, including a talented, well-known country musician, Patrick Pearson. McConaughey joined the effort to help Ruidoso residents by sharing a donation link to his millions of followers on social media in July 2024. Watch the official trailer for "The Lost Bus" below: The film is based on true events that happened in Butte County in November 2018, reported Deadline. The Camp Fire resulted in 86 fatalities and burned over 150,000 acres. While the official trailer was released for the film on June 8, streaming service Apple TV teased that it would be coming soon.

Kim Novak to receive Venice Film Festival's lifetime achievement honor
Kim Novak, the glamorous and fiercely independent star of one of the greatest films ever made, Alfred Hitchcock's 'Vertigo,' will be honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Venice Film Festival this fall. Festival organizers said Monday that they will also host the world premiere of Alexandre Philippe's documentary 'Kim Novak's Vertigo,' which was made in collaboration with the actor. Alberto Barbera, the festival's artistic director, said that the award, 'celebrates a star who was emancipated, a rebel at the heart of Hollywood who illuminated the dreams of movie lovers before retiring to her ranch in Oregon to dedicate herself to painting and to her horses.' Novak, who is 92, left her Hollywood career behind long ago. But in recent years she has occasionally granted interviews around significant film anniversaries and made public appearances. After presenting at the 2014 Oscars many online, including Donald Trump, insulted her appearance. She responded with an open letter writing, 'I will no longer hold myself back from speaking out against bullies." Earlier this year actor Sydney Sweeney paid homage to Novak on the Met Gala red carpet. She's portraying Novak in a new film directed by Colman Domingo about her relationship with Rat Packer Sammy Davis Jr. Of this latest honor, Novak said she is 'deeply touched' to receive the award. 'To be recognized for my body of work at this time in my life is a dream come true,' Novak said. 'I will treasure every moment I spend in Venice. It will fill my heart with joy.' The Venice Film Festival runs from Aug. 27 through Sept. 6, but the full slate of films selected won't be announced until late July. 'The Holdovers' filmmaker Alexander Payne will preside over the main competition jury.

Is Paradise season 2 releasing in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 9, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated June 9, 2025, 11:45 IST Hulu's hit dystopian thriller Paradise has fans eagerly awaiting news about its second season. With its gripping plot and stellar cast, including Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, and James Marsden, the show has captured widespread attention. But is Paradise Season 2 releasing in June 2025? Here's everything we know so far. Paradise Season 2 Renewal Status Hulu officially renewed Paradise for a second season on February 20, 2025, before the first season's finale aired on March 4, 2025. The announcement came via the show's Instagram account, with Sterling K. Brown sharing the exciting news in a video responding to fans clamoring for more episodes. Creator Dan Fogelman also celebrated the renewal on X, thanking fans for their enthusiasm and theorizing about the show's twists. With the renewal confirmed early, production moved quickly, ensuring fans won't face a long wait for the next chapter. Is Paradise Season 2 Releasing in June 2025? As of June 9, 2025, Hulu has not confirmed a specific premiere date for Paradise Season 2, and a June 2025 release is highly unlikely. Series creator Dan Fogelman has stated that production began in April 2025, with scripts already written. In interviews with Deadline and Variety , Fogelman expressed frustration with long gaps between seasons and aims to release Season 2 in early 2026, potentially aligning with the January 2025 premiere window of Season 1. While some sources speculate a possible early 2026 debut, no official confirmation points to June 2025. Fans should expect new episodes between January and summer 2026, depending on production timelines. What Will Paradise Season 2 Be About? Paradise Season 2 will pick up where the Season 1 finale, 'The Man Who Kept the Secrets,' left off. The first season revealed that Paradise is a city-sized underground bunker in Colorado, housing survivors three years after a catastrophic climate event. The finale resolved the mystery of President Cal Bradford's murder, identifying Trent (Ian Merrigan), a former construction leader, as the killer seeking justice for workers poisoned during the bunker's creation. It also disclosed that 55 million Americans, including Xavier's wife Teri, survived the apocalypse outside the bunker, a secret kept by Sinatra to maintain control.
