Marshall Heston 120 review: quality sound at an affordable price
Also Marshalling its way through the likes of Bohemian Rhapsody, the original Guardians of the Galaxy, and Chris Nolan's twisty turny Tenet, the Heston 120's engineering and support for Dolby Atmos and DTS-X adds an energy and excitement to the concert scenes (in particular) from Bohemian making them absolutely soar, while also putting you slap-bang in the middle of the ear-confounding intergalactic action in Guardians. And then there's Tenet, a brilliantly conceived and shot muffle-fest that leaves your ears straining to work out exactly what's being said. Here, the Heston's front drivers and real-time audio processing brought forth a clarity to the speech that I previously never believed possible. And if you've seen it, you'll know what I mean.

Michael Jackson Biopic Michael Gets New Release Date After Reshoots and Legal Changes, Details Inside
The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic titled 'Michael' will now hit theaters worldwide, including IMAX, on April 24, 2026, Lionsgate and Universal Pictures confirmed. Originally scheduled for October 3, 2025, the film was previously announced for an April 18, 2025, release before undergoing multiple changes. Lionsgate will distribute the film domestically in the U.S., while Universal Pictures will handle the international release, excluding Japan, where Kino Films will release the movie, as reported by Variety. Why was the Michael Jackson biopic delayed? According to reports, the delay was primarily caused by reshoots and the need to edit content tied to legal sensitivities. The production had originally included references to Jordan Chandler, the 13-year-old who accused Jackson of molestation in 1993. The pop icon settled the case out of court in 1994 without admitting guilt. Though the screenplay by John Logan was approved by Jackson's estate and shot with Chandler's role, the filmmakers were later informed that Chandler could not be included, leading to reshoots and script changes after production wrapped in May 2024. Additionally, the first cut of the film ran over 3.5 hours, prompting internal discussions about trimming the runtime and possibly releasing the biopic in two parts to make it more accessible to audiences. Here's what we know about the team behind the film Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film stars Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson's real-life nephew, in the lead role. Fuqua is best known for Training Day, while Oscar-winning producer Graham King, who delivered the global hit Bohemian Rhapsody, is producing. The screenplay is written by John Logan, a three-time Oscar nominee with credits like Gladiator and The Aviator. The cast includes: Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson Nia Long as Katherine Jackson Miles Teller as John Branca Larenz Tate as Berry Gordy Laura Harrier as Suzanne de Passe Kat Graham as Diana Ross Jessica Sula as La Toya Jackson Liv Symone as Gladys Knight Kendrick Sampson as Quincy Jones Kevin Shinick as Dick Clark KeiLyn Durrel Jones as Bill Bray

Mystery of Freddie Mercury's 'secret' daughter to be explored in new documentary
The story of Freddie Mercury's daughter is to be explored as part of a new documentary that will be released by Channel 5 later this year The story of Freddie Mercury's daughter is to be explored as part of a new documentary. The Queen legend, who died in 1991 at the age of 45 after being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, fathered a daughter in the 1970s according to evidence gathered by his most prolific biographer. According to this new investigation by Lesley-Ann Jones, Freddie kept private journals and notebooks in which he recorded his life story and innermost thoughts, and documented his relationship with his daughter over a period of 14 years. Channel 5 have now commissioned Freddie Mercury: A Secret Daughter, which will air as a 90-minute special, and air later this year to coincide with the publication of Jones' new book Love, Freddie this September. The feature will explore the 'warm and loving relationship' the Bohemian Rhapsody singer had with his alleged daughter, as well as delve into his early childhood in Zanzibar and incredible life as a rock star. The programme has unprecedented access to the journals via Lesley-Ann, who was offered them by 'B', who in turn says that Freddie handed them to her himself. According to "B", this will be the first and only time that Freddie's true life story will have been told by his own flesh and blood. Lesley-Ann learned about the personal documents when 'B' tracked her down and contacted her. The two women developed a friendship over several years, which culminated in 'B' granting Lesley-Ann permission to share the contents of the journals, as well as her own memories of Freddie, for a new book entitled Love, Freddie. In it, Jones presents what could be a fresh understanding of Freddie's private life and personal struggles. According to 'B', this will be the first and only time that Freddie's true life story will have been told by his own flesh and blood. According to Lesley-Ann, despite being raised by her step-dad, B knew from toddler age that Freddie was her father. In her family home, the singer even had a room in their house, in order to spend as much quality time with her as possible. While the iconic star was on tour around the world with his band Queen or penning new tracks in the recording studio, Freddie made sure he would call B everyday. In an interview with the Daily Mail, Lesley- Ann told the publication: "She knew from toddlerhood which of the two men was her real father. Outside the unusual family, privacy and discretion were maintained to a degree that not even some members of Freddie's personal household had any idea that he had a child." Lesley-Ann Jones said: 'Having spent a quarter of a century researching and writing books about Freddie Mercury, and having covered Queen's performances on the road, I thought I knew virtually all that there was to know about him. I was wrong. Working with his only child and next of kin over several years to create the book that tells his true story in his and his daughter's own words has been the greatest privilege of my professional life. I could never have imagined this hidden Freddie. Yet he was real.' Bosses are also thrilled with the production of the new doc, which is a joint production with Honey Bee, who have also worked on programmes with the likes of Ross Kemp, Bradley Walsh and Jeremy Clarkson and have also fronted Netflix docs centering on British brands such as Greggs, Tesco and Costco. Guy Davies, Consultant Editor for Commissioning, 5, commented: ' This new investigation by Freddie's most well-known biographer gives new insight into one of the world's most famous and iconic rock legends. Freddie the loving father is a side that apparently virtually no-one saw. Over many years, Lesley-Ann has become close with 'B', gaining her trust and confidence. This is her story.' Ed Taylor, Executive Producer, Honey Bee said: "Freddie Mercury has long been celebrated as a rock icon, but thanks to journalist Lesley-Ann Jones's extraordinary three-year investigation, this film offers an entirely different perspective – Freddie as a doting father and loving family man. It's a great privilege to be working with 5 again to bring this new viewpoint to the screen".
