After being postponed for nine months due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, the fifth season of Fox’s popular crime procedural 9-1-1: Lone Star is scheduled to premiere on September 23, 2024.

Two years have passed since “Jurassic World: Dominion” marked the end of Chris Pratt’s reboot trilogy in the Jurassic Park franchise.

According to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, who spoke with CinemaBlend about the upcoming “Deadpool & Wolverine,” it seems that the next installment of Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man” franchise, titled “Spider-Man 4,” may undergo a significant shift.

Director Alma Har’el gained notable recognition with her thought-provoking documentaries, “Bombay Beach” and “Love True.” The first film provided an intriguing insight into the lives of people and communities around the shrinking Salton Sea. The second film, celebrated for its innovative blend of genres, attracted widespread acclaim. Both movies amassed numerous accolades, drawing attention to Har’el’s unique perspective on human nature. Her impressive body of work caught the eye of Shia LaBeouf, leading her to collaborate on “Honey Boy.” Har’el’s trilogy showcased an artist perpetually intrigued by the depths of the human mind. Apple TV+’s “Lady in the Lake” offers Har’el a significant platform to expand her exploration of the human psyche.
