Hollywood star Adria Arjona: Acting school save me
Adria Arjona feels she's been "saved" by acting school. The 33-year-old actress studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City during her teenage years, and Adria relished the experience, as she learned to "express" herself through acting. The film star told Collider: "Acting school kind of saved me. "I had a pretty rough upbringing. There were parts there that were not the happiest, and acting really came in and saved me and taught me how to express myself through what I do." Adria was initially unsure what she wanted to do in her career. However, her dad thought she was perfectly suited to acting. The Hollywood star shared: "Every movie made me want to be something else or learn a new task. One day, my dad was like, 'I don't know exactly what you think you're going to be, but I think you might be an actor.'" Adria has starred in a host of high-profile projects in recent years, including 'Hit Man', 'Blink Twice' and 'Pacific Rim Uprising'. And the actress has always embraced the opportunity to "play different characters" on screen. She explained: "Every job you take, you're telling a story to the world of the kind of artist that you are, so you have to stick to your guns and be really truthful to what you believe in. "It's mostly, also, for me, to not be bored, right? To play different characters and to show the world that I'm more than just one thing." Despite this, Adria previously admitted that she'd like to be more "strategic" in her career decisions. She told Empire: "I wish I was more of a strategic actor when it comes to making choices. But I'm just more excited by the women that I get to embody." Adria starred alongside Glen Powell in the 2023 rom-com 'Hit Man', and the actress recalled quickly developing a strong "chemistry" with her co-star. Speaking about her initial meeting with Glen, Adria told Empire: "It was supposed to be a one-hour meeting. We ended up talking for five hours. "Chemistry comes from trust, and I think from our first meeting I just knew I could trust [Glen]. We created a space for us to play and be weird and sexy and funny." 'Hit Man' was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Richard Linklater, whose previous directing credits include 'Boyhood', 'School of Rock', and 'Everybody Wants Some!!'. And Adria still remembers feeling anxious about meeting the filmmaker for the first time. Recalling details of their first-ever Zoom call, the movie star shared: "My hands were sweaty. I was really trying to play it cool and that lasted for about ten minutes."

"Pacific Rim" TV Series in Works
Yara Sameh The 'Pacific Rim' TV series has found a home at Amazon. The live-action project, which Variety exclusively reported on in 2024, is now in development at Prime Video in a deal between lead studio Legendary Television and Amazon MGM Studios. As previously reported, Eric Heisserer will serve as writer and executive producer under his Chronology banner. The show is the first project under Chronology's first-look TV deal with Legendary. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps, but the show will serve as a prequel to the films. According to sources, there is still the potential for new films in the franchise as well. The first film in the franchise was directed by Guillermo del Toro from a screenplay by del Toro and Travis Beacham. It came out in 2013 and grossed over $400 million at the global box office. The sequel, 'Pacific Rim Uprising,' bowed in 2018, while the anime series 'Pacific Rim: The Black' aired two seasons on Netflix between 2021 and 2022. The franchise also includes comic books, novels, toys, and more. In 'Pacific Rim,' an inter-dimensional rift opens at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, allowing massive monsters (a.k.a kaijus) to enter our world and begin attacking humanity. In response, humans begin constructing giant fighting robots called Jaegers. Heisserer was most recently the writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the 'Shadow and Bone' TV series at Netflix, which was based on the Grishaverse YA novels. He received an Academy Award nomination for best adapted screenplay for the film 'Arrival' in 2017. His other feature writing credits include the hit Netflix film 'Bird Box' as well as 'Lights Out,' 'Hours' (which he also directed), 'Bloodshot,' and the 2010 remake of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street.' This is the latest development news from Legendary TV and Amazon MGM Studios in recent weeks. It was previously reported that the two studios, along with Pacesetter Productions, had struck a deal to develop a series based G. T. Karber's murder mystery puzzles 'Murdle.' Legendary's current slate also includes the live-action Monsterverse series 'Monarch' at Apple TV+ as well as shows like 'Dune: Prophecy' at Max and the animated series 'The Legend of Lara Croft' at Netflix. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
