And a fake moon landing is being staged in it by Channing Tatum who leads FLY ME TO THE MOON period set romantic movie comedy which is hitting big screens around the world from July 12th.
It is a sharp, stylish comedy-drama directed by Greg Berlanti and set against the high-stakes
backdrop of NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing with the plot following the relationship between a marketing specialist and a NASA director during the 1960s Space Race. The movie will also stream on Apple TV Plus sometime later this year. Back in 2022 Apple actually bought this project for $100 million then titled "Project Artemis"! Back then Jason Bateman was supposed to direct it with Chris Evans in
Greg Berlanti's first movie since Love, Simon

WILL THEY MAKE HISTORY OR FAKE IT?
During

relationship develops between the NASA director in charge of the Apollo

(Channing Tatum)
already difficult task. When the White House deems the mission too
important to fail, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as
back-up and the countdown truly begins… As the two prepare to undertake a monumental task – filming a back-up to the moon landing in case the real mission fails – they find that they may just have more in common than they first thought.
After six previous films in the series have scored more than six billion dollars at the box offices around the world, JURASSIC PARK franchise is getting a reboot with completely new actors and although the plot is still under wraps, we know that Jonathan Bailey, Scarlett Johansson and Manuel Garcia Rulfo have been set as leads. Gareth Edwards is directing for summer 2025 release.

WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE will be getting a sequel with Nicholas Galitzine, as
prince of England, and Taylor Zakhar Perez, as the son of US president ,
set to return as the love couple. The film brought many new subscribers
to Amazon.
SHOGUN GETTING A SECOND SEASON
Also a success story, both critical and in viewership was FX limited series SHOGUN which will no longer be a limited series as it is getting a second season. Hiroyuki Sanada, who is also the producer, will return as Lord Yoshii Toranaga, whose journey to become shÅgun and lead Japan to an era of peace was chronicled in the 10-episode adaptation of James Clavell’s novel.

To cheer up the start of the week, here's the funky first teaser trailer for this Christmas' animated movie SING! Matthew McConaughey is Buster Moon, a koala whose once-bustling theatre is on the skids and who comes up with a plan to revive it: by holding a singing contest that’s open to everyone and boasts a $100,000 prize. Naturally, it draws the talented, the not-as-talented and the William Hungs of the animal kingdom. Among the top contestants are a crooning, conning mouse (Seth MacFarlane), a teenage pachyderm with stage fright (Tori Kelly), a wiped-out sow (Reese Witherspoon) with a Duggar-like brood of piglets, a wanted gorilla (Taron Egerton) looking to escape his family’s felonious past and a punk-rock porcupine (Scarlett Johansson) trying to break free from an overbearing boyfriend.

a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theatre that has fallen

scoundrel, who loves his theatre above all and will do anything to
preserve it. Now facing the crumbling of his life's ambition, he has one
final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by
producing the world's greatest singing competition. Five lead
contestants emerge: A mouse (Seth MacFarlane) who croons as smoothly as he cons, a timid teenage elephant (Tori Kelly) with an enormous case of stage fright, an overtaxed mother pig (Reese Witherspoon) run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets, a young gangster gorilla (Taron Egerton) looking to break free of his family's felonies, and a punk-rock porcupine (Scarlett Johansson)
struggling to shed her arrogant boyfriend and go solo. Each animal
arrives under Buster's marquee believing that this is their shot to
change the course of their life.
