SM Entertainment Artists Celebrate 30 Years With SMTown Live L.A.
Fans of SM Entertainment-signed K-Pop acts braved an unseasonably hot day for a chance to see members from 13 groups perform at Carson's Dignity Health Sports earlier this month. Known as one of Korea's 'big three' K-Pop agencies, SM brought members from acts dating back to 2003 as a part of their well-known SMTown Live concert series. This year marked the agency's 30th anniversary. It's been 13 years since the last SMTown Live in California, which took place in Anaheim. More from The Hollywood Reporter Bono Weighs in on Trump-Bruce Springsteen Drama: "There's Only One Boss in America" Sean "Diddy" Combs' Assistant of 8 Years Accuses Him of Multiple Sexual Assaults During Testimony Sean "Diddy" Combs' Ex-Assistant Testifies He Sexually Assaulted Her and Used Violence to Get His Way It was an all-day affair for fans who opted to purchase the red-carpet ticket, which gave them a chance to see their idols relatively close and kicked off before 1 p.m. Some performers stopped by the barricade of fans to snap selfies or say a quick hello. Several groups teased new music and exciting performances. TVXQ, Super Junior, SHINee's Key and Minho, EXO's Suho, Chanyeol and Kai, Red Velvet, NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV, aespa, Riize, Hearts2Hearts and SMTR25 all performed; NCT Wish was slated to perform but was unable to attend due to visa issues. Girl group aespa seemingly teased their future plans at SMTown Live. 'We're about to release music very, very soon, so please stay tuned for that,' Winter told The Hollywood Reporter. The group described their performance of the night in one word: fire. The crowd went wild for the four-piece group, performing hits such as 'Whiplash' and 'Next Level.' 'It's our first time in L.A. for SMTown, and it's not every year that we can come here as a whole SMTown family,' Riize's Anton said before the concert. The group recently released their first album, Odyssey, which they previewed for fans during the L.A. show. 'It's a really special opportunity,' Anton continued. TVXQ, the eldest of the crop of performers, told THR that fans could expect to hear the duo's older songs, a promise they delivered on when they sang their 2008 K-Pop classic 'Mirotic.' The undeniably catchy track had the entire stadium singing along. 'We just want this performance to be a place where we can show a lot of synergy between the senior and the junior groups,' member Changmin told THR. Other groups like girl group Red Velvet decided to play older fan favorites. The three members who performed during the show surprised the audience with their 2018 song 'Bad Boy.' The group told THR they included it as a special treat. It was Red Velvet's first performance in L.A. in years, so they said they knew fans were 'going to love it.' On the other end of the spectrum was SM's latest endeavor, girl group Hearts2Hearts, who were fresh off a Saturday performance at Wango Tango. The eight-member outfit expressed how excited they were to be in L.A. for the first time. Stella, a vocalist, said the group was particularly looking forward to the show's final song, 'Hope from Kwangya,' where all of the night's performers come together to sing farewell. To perform that final song, all artists flocked to the stage and later waved goodbye to fans all together. SM Entertainment's next SMTown Live is set for June 28 in London. Another in Japan is scheduled for August.

Marvel Studios Hall H Status Revealed for 2025 San Diego Comic-Con
Marvel Studios' status for the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con has been revealed, as has their plans for their legendary Hall H panels. According to a new report from THR's Heat Vision newsletter, Marvel will not be hosting a panel at Hall H this year at San Diego Comic-Con. With The Fantastic Four: First Steps set to release on the Friday of SDCC and Avengers: Doomsday now releasing closer to the end of 2026, Marvel seems to be taking a one-year break from their infamous panels. THR's reporting notes that the thinking within the company is that, with multiple films in production and set to release so close to the event, it didn't feel like the right time to have a panel. That doesn't mean they won't be at conventions, though. Marvel will be at this weekend's CCXP Mexico, and will still have a massive presence at SDCC, with panels focused on comics, games, and more still planned. Although Marvel Studios is usually a mainstay at SDCC, they have missed the show a handful of times. In 2011, the company sat out of a Hall H panel with The Avengers in production. 2015 and 2018 also marked years the studio stayed home, and then in 2020, 2021, and 2023, the company was away from the convention due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Hollywood strikes, respectively. Last year, Marvel Studios returned to Hall H in glorious fashion. Not only did Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman appear, but the company also announced Avengers: Doomsday in a major way, with Robert Downey Jr. revealing he would be Doctor Doom at the end. SDCC is set to take place from July 24-27, 2025, in San Diego, California. (Source: The Hollywood Reporter)

Netflix Buys Richard Linklater's ‘Nouvelle Vague' After Cannes Debut
Netflix has acquired Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague, a black-and-white love letter to the French New Wave, specifically to the 1960 classic Breathless. The sale comes after the film's strong debut at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a 10-minute-plus standing ovation from the audience. 'If you do it long enough, I always thought you can make one film about making films. This is mine,' the filmmaker said at the Cannes press conference for Nouvelle Vague. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Deported' Comic Russell Peters Doesn't Fear Being Sent Home Under Trump: "They'd Be Damn Foolish to Get Rid of Me" Unpacking That Unexpected 'Sirens' Ending With Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock How 'The Tylenol Murders' Landed the Suspected Tylenol Murderer for Netflix Docuseries Nouvelle Vague tells the story of the making of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless, which follows Michel Poiccard (Jean-Paul Belmondo), a small-time criminal on the run after killing a policeman, and his romantic entanglement with Patricia Franchini (Jean Seberg), an American journalism student in Paris. Linklater's French-language movie is shot on film in the 4:3 aspect ratio and stars Guillaume Marbeck as Godard, Zoey Deutch as Godard's star Jean Seberg and Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo. THR film critic Jordan Mintzer wrote in his review, 'It's an impressive package that certainly required more money and manpower than Godard's first feature did, while ironically enough, the moral of this movie is that a big budget and crew aren't needed to make something great. Linklater celebrates JLG's audacity even if he's directed something more conventional (although much to his credit, he directed it almost entirely in French). If Nouvelle Vague is not exactly Breathless, it's a loving homage to the crazy way Breathless was made — back when you could shoot movies fast, cheap and out of control, and somehow change cinema in the process.' Scott Feinberg, THR's executive editor of awards, also predicts that Nouvelle Vague is one of the strongest titles coming out of Cannes in the Oscar conversation. Linklater has previously been nominated for five Academy Awards. Nouvelle Vague will likely not receive a longer theatrical run in the U.S., just the standard awards-qualifying two-week window domestically, a source tells THR. Deadline was first to report the news of the sale.
