"Knives Out 3", "Hamnet", "Roofman" Among TIFF Premieres Added to Lineup

Yara Sameh 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,' the third murder mystery in director Rian Johnson's hit series, will have its world premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. The movie and several others, including Chloe Zhao's Shakespearean drama 'Hamnet' and Channing Tatum's action comedy 'Roofman,' have been added to the lineup. Johnson's two prior whodunnits in the trilogy, 2019's 'Knives Out' and 2022's 'Glass Onion,' also had their world premieres at TIFF. Daniel Craig will reprise his role as Benoit Blanc, the sleuth with a distinctly Southern drawl, in 'Wake Up Dead Man,' alongside the new ensemble of Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, and Andrew Scott. 'Roofman,' based on the true story of a former Army ranger and professional thief who finds a hideout inside a Toys 'R' Us, will also host its world premiere in Toronto. Meanwhile 'Hamnet,' a fictionalization of the life of William Shakespeare's son led by Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, will have its Canadian premiere at TIFF, meaning the film will first screen at another festival before making its way to the Six. Other new additions to the TIFF lineup include Nicholas Hytner's 'The Choral,' Agnieszka Holland's 'Franz, Neeraj Ghaywan's 'Homebound, Paul Greengrass' 'The Lost Bus,' Rebecca Zlotowski's 'A Private Life,' HIKARI's 'Rental Family,' Peter Ho-Sun Chan's 'She Has No Name," and Clement Virgo's 'Steal Away.' 'Since its inception, TIFF has championed global cinema that opens our eyes and brings us together,' said TIFF's chief programming officer Anita Lee. 'We are delighted to share 11 more titles from our gala and special presentations programs that showcase the remarkable originality and excellence of today's most exciting and acclaimed directors. These films reflect a sweeping range of voices and styles that embodies the spirit of TIFF and our commitment to a public audience.' The festival's 50th edition will take place Sept. 4–14. 'John Candy: I Like Me,' a documentary about the late comedian from director Colin Hanks and producer Ryan Reynolds, will open the festival. Steven Soderbergh's 'The Christophers' and Nia DaCosta's 'Hedda' were also previously added to the docket. In keeping with tradition, TIFF is expected to slowly reveal the rest of its lineup over the next month or so.

Who sent mysterious radio burst in 2024? Study reveals the presence of a ‘zombie' NASA Satellite. Here's truth

In June 2024, astronomers detected a powerful burst of radio waves from within the Milky Way. After investigation, scientists now believe the signal came from a deactivated or zombie NASA satellite launched in the 1960s. This discovery could help researchers better understand unusual signals in space and the behavior of old satellites. Signal Detected from Within Our Galaxy A burst of radio waves was picked up by astronomers in June 2024. It was detected by the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) in Western Australia. ASKAP has 36 identical dish antennas. This array searches for short but strong radio signals in space.

Usually, radio bursts come from distant galaxies. These signals often release energy equal to what the sun produces in three days. But this signal came from much closer. It started inside the Milky Way galaxy, very near to Earth. ASKAP could not focus on it clearly, similar to a phone camera failing to focus on a nearby object. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 9 years ago - Most beautiful twins.

Here's trailer, release date, plot and cast NASA Satellite Named as Likely Source A team of scientists investigated the source. They ruled out new space objects. The only possible match was an old NASA satellite called Relay 2. This satellite was launched in 1964. It stopped working in 1967 after its two transmitters failed, a New Scientist report said citing a new preprint study. Live Events Despite being inactive for many years, Relay 2 may have created the radio pulse detected in 2024. The researchers shared their findings in a study on arXiv on June 13. The study is not yet peer-reviewed. Unusual Nature of the Signal The signal lasted only 30 nanoseconds. It was very strong but very brief. The pattern of the pulse did not match any known function of Relay 2. This ruled out the chance that it was a planned transmission. Researchers looked into other possible causes. They believe it may have happened because of a micrometeorite impact or an electrostatic discharge. Both events can create powerful radio signals in space. Also Read: Marge Simpson Death Rumours: Does Marge Simpson die in The Simpsons Season 36 finale? Here's the truth Possible Reason Micrometeorites are tiny space rocks. When they hit a spacecraft, they can cause changes in the spacecraft's surface. These changes may increase electrical activity and release radio waves. Scientists have noted that micrometeorite impacts can directly create such signals. According to the researchers, if a micrometeorite hit Relay 2, it might have created plasma. This would allow electric charges to build up and discharge quickly. That could explain the strong radio pulse. Electrostatic Discharge More Likely Scientists say that electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a more likely cause. ESD happens when electric charges between two surfaces suddenly flow. Spacecraft surfaces can carry different charges due to space conditions. Relay 2 was built many years ago. Its materials might hold electric charges more easily than modern satellites. When the charge becomes too strong, it can discharge and produce radio waves. According to the study, ESD has long been known to create radio pulses. The research team believes Relay 2's old design may have made it more likely to generate a strong pulse in space. FAQs What is electrostatic discharge and how can it affect satellites? Electrostatic discharge is the sudden flow of electricity between charged surfaces. In satellites, it can create short radio bursts or damage electronic parts. Why is this radio signal from Relay 2 important to scientists? The signal helps scientists understand how old satellites might still produce activity. It may also offer a way to detect discharges from space debris or inactive satellites.
