Over time, de-aging technology has grown common in movie viewing, utilizing advanced CGI techniques to portray our beloved actors as if they were still at their peak. This technology offers a peek into the past of characters such as Tony Stark in Captain America: Civil War or sets the epic background story for favorites like Orlando Bloom in The Hobbit trilogy. De-aging serves to give additional context and backstory, enhancing the viewing experience for audiences.

In 2017, young actor Jacob Tremblay delivered another inspiring performance in the movie Wonder, based on the popular novel by R.J. Palacio. Given the success of the book, it was only natural that Hollywood would adapt a follow-up graphic novel featuring similar characters. This new project is titled White Bird, and renowned director Marc Forster (famous for films like A Man Called Otto, Monster’s Ball, The Kite Runner, and Finding Neverland) is directing the film adaptation. Interestingly, White Bird serves as both a prequel and sequel to Wonder.

In the final episode of “Gotham” that aired on April 25, 2019, David Mazouz’s portrayal of Batman was finally revealed to the audience. However, when it came to the main cast, a familiar face was noticeably absent. Although Selina Kyle made an appearance in the series finale titled “The Beginning…”, she was played by Lili Simmons instead of Camren Bicondova, who had been with “Gotham” since its debut in 2014. Interestingly, this change didn’t faze Camren Bicondova at all; in fact, she welcomed it.

The biographical film “Saturday Night” from SNL recounts the 90-minute period prior to the launch of one of comedy’s greatest sketch series. Heading its expansive cast is Gabriel LaBelle, portraying Lorne Michaels, creator and producer of SNL. In a recent interview, the actor shares insights about embodying this iconic figure, his successful acquisition of tickets for the actual show taping, and his experiences encountering the man he played.

The television series “Supernatural” is a chilling blend of fantasy, horror, and thriller genres, centered around a group of ghost hunters – the Winchester family. Debuting in 2005, it employs an episodic structure to showcase a diverse array of monsters, spirits, and terrifying mythical creatures drawn from various folklore traditions. These entities constantly test and frighten the Winchester brothers, whose own mother was brutally murdered by Azazel, a demon from biblical lore decades ago. The series stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, who portray these relatable and endearing brothers.
