Roger Waters ‘This Is Not A Drill – Live From Prague – The Movie' Coming to Cinemas Worldwide
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Roger Waters, founding member and creative genius behind Pink Floyd, returns to cinemas with 'This Is Not A Drill – Live From Prague – The Movie.' Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision will release the film worldwide beginning on July 23. The official film trailer is unveiled today and is available to watch here.
Tickets for cinema screenings worldwide are now on sale at www.rogerwaters.film.
Originally recorded and filmed during Waters' live show at the O2 Arena in the Czech Republic on May 25, 2023, this breathtaking new edit is directed by his long-term collaborative partner, Sean Evans.
Billed as his 'first ever Farewell Tour,' the show is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive and is dedicated to 'our brothers and sisters all over the world who are engaged in the existential battle for the soul of humanity.'
The release will give fans the chance to see and hear his critically acclaimed live show in full cinematic glory and includes 20 classic Pink Floyd and Roger Waters songs, including: 'Us & Them,' 'Comfortably Numb,' 'Wish You Were Here,' and 'Is This The Life We Really Want?' Additionally, Waters performs his highly celebrated new song, 'The Bar.' Together, the production is an extraordinary assault on the senses - musically, visually, politically and philosophically.
The accompanying music, available for preorder now, is set to be released on Legacy Recordings, the catalogue division of Sony Music Entertainment, on August 1, 2025, and will see the performance presented on a 4 LP set/Blu-Ray/2 CD/DVD/Digital Audio. A performance clip of 'Wish You Were Here' is available to view here.
'This Is Not A Drill – Live From Prague – The Movie' is filmed in 8k, providing exceptional detail and clarity, and features an enhanced audio mix. For the production, Waters was joined on stage by his outstanding band of musicians: Jonathan Wilson, Dave Kilminster, Jon Carin, Gus Seyffert, Joey Waronker, Robert Walter, Shanay Johnson, Amanda Belair and Seamus Blake.
Collectively they deliver an unforgettable and powerful performance, with a call to action, to love, protect, and share our precious planet home.

Questions linger regarding MindsEye's rushed release
The big Summer Games Fest weekend of live showcases and game previews is over, and here's what to expect in this week's game news recap. The big picture 'A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad' – a quote that still resonates in the games industry. Nowhere is that more evident than in the release of action-adventure open-world title MindsEye. This highly touted game from ex-Rockstar Games producer Leslie Benzies's studio, Build A Rocket, promised a rich single-player narrative and ongoing user-generated content post-launch. It was released on June 10, with not a single reviewer in the world receiving an early copy before launch – usually a red flag. Sure enough, both early and late impressions from reviewers and content creators were largely negative. The game was buggy, unstable, and riddled with technical issues involving performance and artificial intelligence (AI). Its story also ended abruptly. A large number of PlayStation owners refunded the game en masse – the last time this happened on such a scale was during Cyberpunk 2077's troubled PlayStation 4 launch in 2020. The developers are now scrambling to patch the title, likely over the next several weeks, as it is – to quote the community – 'a car on fire'. It simply should not have been released in its current state, even with this relatively quiet sales window before the second half of 2025. This raises a few lingering questions: Who exactly was asking for another open-world action-adventure title that isn't Grand Theft Auto? Did the ex-Rockstar producer contribute meaningfully to the earlier GTA titles? A seasoned veteran wouldn't have allowed a game to launch in such a state. Short beats ASUS Republic of Gamers is teaming up with Xbox to produce the ROG Xbox Ally (standard and X versions), a portable PC launching this holiday season. The Outer Worlds 2 will be released on Oct 30 and will cost US$80 – part of the ongoing trend of triple-A titles surpassing the US$60 mark. The animated superhero series Invincible is getting its own fighting game in 2026, developed by the same team behind the acclaimed Killer Instinct reboot (2013). Resident Evil Requiem (aka Resident Evil 9) is Capcom's next survival horror entry, launching Feb 26, 2026 for PC and consoles. Nintendo Switch 2 has outsold the original Switch by 3-to-1 during its launch in Japan. No Straight Roads 2, from Malaysian studio Metronomik, will be published in 2026 in collaboration with Shueisha Games. Upin & Ipin, the beloved Malaysian children's show, is getting an action-adventure game adaptation due later this year. Marvel Mystic Mayhem, a mobile strategy game, is coming to iOS and Android on June 25. Konami is remaking the original Silent Hill with Bloober Team, which also handled the Silent Hill 2 remake. Games out this week Berserk Or Die is a 2D indie action game where you control a berserker slaying Roman legionnaires from both flanks using keyboard-based combo inputs. MindsEye is an open-world action-adventure game by Build A Rocket, led by former GTA producer Leslie Benzies. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition is a remaster of the 2011 sci-fi action title. Wizard of Legend 2 is a roguelite sequel featuring 3D visuals and new combinable magic spells.

Prince Harry And Meghan Snubbed From The Trooping The Colour Again As Royal Rift Deepens
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not invited to the 2025 Trooping the Colour, marking their third consecutive exclusion from the royal event. Despite Harry's recent call for reconciliation, insiders say the rift with the royal family is deepening. King Charles reportedly remains distant due to trust issues, and Prince William is firmly against mending ties. Experts highlight that no palace aides are encouraging reconciliation, and the royals no longer trust Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with private conversations. According to People Magazine, Harry and Meghan have not been invited to this year's Trooping the Colour, the annual military parade held to celebrate King Charles' official birthday, set to take place on Saturday, June 14. This marks the third consecutive year the couple has been excluded from the event amid their ongoing estrangement from the royal family. The last time the pair attended the military parade was in 2022, during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. Even then, they weren't permitted on the main royal balcony and instead watched from a separate area reserved for non-working royals. Since Queen Elizabeth's passing and Charles's rise to the throne later that year, Harry and Meghan have been entirely left off the guest list for Trooping the Colour. Royal commentator Richard Eden emphasized the significance of their continued absence. He noted that 2023 was "the first year of his life that Harry hasn't been invited at all." Reflecting on how their status has evolved, Eden said: "With Harry and Meghan, we've always had a sort of 'will they, won't they' before every big royal occasion." "Well, it seems like the palace has tackled this this time by just not inviting them at all," Eden added. "So, you know, it's significant. Despite stepping back from royal duties and relocating to California in 2020, there had once been hope that Harry and Meghan would still be included in major royal traditions. Eden recalled that "When Harry and Meghan quit royal duties, I think officials were very keen to stress that they would still be invited to occasions such as Trooping the Colour." The US-based royals' ongoing absence, however, has now reflected a deeper rift that might never heal between the warring parties. "The fact they haven't been invited is very significant," he noted. News that Harry and Meghan were not invited to Trooping the Colour for the third consecutive year comes amid fresh tensions within the royal family, and just weeks after Harry publicly expressed a desire to reconcile with his father. In a May interview with the BBC, the Duke of Sussex opened up about his strained relationship with the royal family after losing his final bid for taxpayer-funded security in the UK. "There have been so many disagreements between me and some of my family," he said, adding that he had now "forgiven" them. He continued: "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile." Despite Harry's plea for peace, insiders suggest the damage may be beyond repair. According to royal expert Hilary Fordwich, there is reportedly "no turning back" for Harry and Charles after more than five years of fractured relations. "King Charles remains tender towards his son, but can't risk communication. Prince William now has absolutely no interest in mending fences," Fordwich told Fox News. "The animosity is so deep that William has shut the door on Harry," she added. "Charles is not willing to go against his heir's wishes." Fordwich emphasized that "Everything comes down to trust and the lack of it." Fordwich's remarks align with recent reports from People Magazine, which also highlighted the king's hesitance to reconnect with his youngest son. In the report, Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told the publication: "The underlying issue is trust. The king and William don't trust Harry and Meghan with any kind of confidential conversation." Insiders further revealed that Charles is not being advised by anyone within the palace to make amends, and William is firmly against extending any olive branch. As royal author Valentine Low pointed out: "There is not a good angel in [the king's] ear to say, 'Be a good dad and make the first move.'"

That White Sox cap spotted on Pope Leo XIV? It came from newlywed Red Sox fans from Haverhill
But Kelly and Gary DeStefano are pretty sure they have absolution. They married at Sacred Hearts Parish in Haverhill on May 25 and traveled to Rome for their honeymoon. They hoped to join the 'sposi novelli' audience for newlyweds seeking a blessing from the Holy Father. (Tickets are required and couples Advertisement Newlyweds Gary and Kelly DeStefano stood at their home in Haverhill with the White Sox hat on June 13. The newlyweds attended a papal blessing at the Vatican with Pope Leo XIV along with the cap. Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff But spots aren't guaranteed, so a cousin dreamed up a backup plan to catch Pope Leo's eye: put on the White Sox caps. 'It was like, maybe he'll still see you, point you out in the crowd,' she told the Globe in an interview on Thursday after they returned home. 'It was kind of funny, you know, [since] we're from Boston,' she added. 'He even had a hard time finding the hat in Massachusetts ... and Gary was like, 'I'm not wearing this hat.' But then we did get in [to the sposi novelli], so we didn't even have to wear them.' By the time Pope Leo came over to offer his blessing, the hats had slipped her mind. He asked the couple where they were from, and her husband, Gary, bent down to kiss his ring. Advertisement 'And then Gary pulls [the hats] out from behind his back,' she said. 'And it was just a surreal moment, to hear the pope laugh.' Kelly and Gary DeStefano gave the hat to Pope Leo XIV when on honeymoon in Rome. In a video the couple shared with the Globe, Pope Leo, smiling, told the couple, 'You're going to get in trouble for this,' a playful nod to their devotion to the 'other Sox' in the American League. He removed his zucchetto and donned the cap, while Gary put on the other one. After taking photos, the pope, who will be celebrated with a special Mass Saturday in Chicago at the White Sox stadium, gave the 'blessed' hats back to take them home to Red Sox Nation. 'We'll probably encase them in glass, maybe with a few news articles and a picture of the pope,' Kelly said. 'It will be a wonderful story to pass on to our grandchildren.' When asked if he'd ever wear a rival team's hat for anyone else, Gary didn't hesitate: 'Absolutely not,' said the born-and-bred Boston fan. 'No way.' Rivalries aside, however, baseball is unifyingpastime. 'It's a national sport,' Gary said. By wearing the cap, the US-born pontiff is speaking to And with that gesture aimed at Americans for the first time, the logo on the cap doesn't matter, Gary said. 'If the pope today went into the Chicago stadium [with the hat on], everybody there would roar," he said. 'And if he came to Boston and went to Fenway Park with the Chicago hat on, they would still roar.' Advertisement Kathy McCabe of the Globe Staff contributed to this report.
