Press: Carrie Fisher to Receive Hollywood Walk of Fame Star(and Jason too!)

YAHOO LIFE: For many in showbiz, it’s seen as the true mark of their legacy as entertainers. Nope, not talking about Oscars or Grammys. We’re talking about a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And although she’s sadly not here to see it, at long last, Carrie Fisher will receive hers. The news came from the official Walk of Fame website, which revealed its inductees for 2022. We think it’s high time that the writer, actress, Princess freakin’ Leia icon finally got her star.

It’s too early to say, but we imagine her daughter Billie Lourd will speak at the induction ceremony. And we’d like to think the man who called her “space sis,” Mark Hamill, could also be on hand. Honestly, everyone involved with the original Star Wars saga should be there. What would Star Wars even be without our Princess/Jedi/General? It wouldn’t be nearly as great, that’s what. And George Lucas would be the first to tell you that.

Carrie Fisher isn’t the only Star Wars actor getting a star on the Walk of Fame in 2022. Ewan McGregor is also slated to receive his, probably around the time that the Obi-Wan Kenobi series premieres on Disney+. (Walk of Fame ceremonies often tie into a recipient’s next big project.) Below is the complete list of 2022 inductees. You just might know a few of these names.

Film: Francis Ford Coppola, Macaulay Culkin, Willem Dafoe, Salma Hayek, James Hong, Helen Hunt, Michael B. Jordan, Regina King, Ray Liotta, Ewan McGregor, Adam McKay, Jason Momoa, Tessa Thompson.

Television: Byron Allen, Greg Berlanti, Ricky Gervais, Peter Krause, Bob Odenkirk, Holly Robinson-Peete, Norman Reedus, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jean Smart, Ming-Na Wen, and Kenan Thompson.

Press: It’s Official: ‘Dune’ to World Premiere at Venice Film Festival

VARIETY: It’s official: Denis Villeneuve’s hotly-anticipated “Dune” reboot will world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September.

As first anticipated by Variety, the fest has announced that the big-budget sci-fi epic starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya will world premiere in Venice out-of-competition on September 3.

The film is adapted from Frank Herbert’s seminal science fiction bestseller about young Paul Atreides (Chalamet), scion of the noble House of Atreides which has been tasked with overseeing the barren desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune.

Villeneuve was last in Venice with a non-conventional sci-fi pic “Arrival” in 2016.

The star-studded pic from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Sharon Duncan Brewster, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Chang Chen, David Dastmalchian, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem.

Though Venice, as is customary, has not specified what talents will be attending the “Dune” premiere, it’s a safe bet that Warner Bros. will be flying in some stars.

“Dune” is scheduled for a simultaneous release in theaters via Warner Bros. and on HBO Max on October 1.

Mary Parent, Denis Villeneuve, Cale Boyter and Joe Caracciolo, Jr. produced the film. The executive producers were Tanya Lapointe, Joshua Grode, Herbert W. Gains, Jon Spaihts, Thomas Tull, Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt and Kim Herbert.

Venice’s upcoming Sept. 1-11 edition is on track, barring complications, to run as a completely in-person celebration of cinema with hundreds of journalists and dozens of film delegations expected to make the trek to the Lido from all over the world.

Other high-profile titles believed to be locked in for a Lido launch comprise Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, and Paolo Sorrentino’s semi-autobiographical drama “The Hand of God,” both from Netflix.

As previously announced, Bong Joon-ho will preside over the main Venice jury, while Italian multiple Oscar winner Roberto Benigni (“Life Is Beautiful”) will be honored with a lifetime achievement award.

Press: ‘See’ Gets Season 3 Renewal By Apple, Unveils Season 2 Premiere Date, Trailer & Cast Additions

DEADLINE: Ahead of the Season 2 premiere, Apple TV+ has ordered a third season of its post-apocalyptic drama series See starring Jason Momoa. The renewal was announced Thursday night during Momoa’s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Apple also released a Season 2 teaser trailer which introduces new cast member Dave Bautista as Edo Voss, the brother of Momoa’s character Baba Voss. It also provides glimpses of other new series regulars in Season 2, the majority of whom have not been announced. They include Eden Epstein (Sweetbitter), Tom Mison (Watchmen), Hoon Lee (Warrior), Olivia Cheng (Warrior), David Hewlett (The Shape of Water) and Tamara Tunie (Flight).

Apple has set Friday, August 27 for the season 2 premiere of the series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and director Francis Lawrence. After the debut, a new episode will be dropped weekly.

This is the second consecutive time that Apple TV+ has given See a renewal ahead of the debut of the previous season. While announced today, the pickup happened quietly awhile ago, with filming on Season 3 currently underway in Toronto, Canada. (Apple opted to shoot Seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back, I hear.)

Written by Knight, See takes place in the far future and humankind has lost its sense of sight. In season two, Baba Voss is fighting to reunite his torn-apart family and get away from the war and politics that surround him, but the more he moves away, the deeper he gets sucked in, and the emergence of his nemesis brother (Bautista) threatens his family even more.

Returning cast includes Alfre Woodard as Paris, Hera Hilmar as Maghra, Sylvia Hoeks as Queen Kane and Christian Carmago as Tamacti Jun.

Season 2 is executive produced by Knight, Lawrence, Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, Jim Rowe and Jonathan Tropper, who also serves as showrunner. The series is produced by Chernin Entertainment and Endeavor Content.

Epstein is repped by Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Jackoway Tyerman Wertheimer.

Press: ‘Aquaman 2’ Is Titled ‘The Lost Kingdom’

Filmmaker James Wan revealed the name as the film enters pre-production.

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: James Wan has unveiled the title for his upcoming Aquaman sequel. The film will be called Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the filmmaker revealed Thursday.

The upcoming project stars Jason Momoa as Aquaman, with Amber Heard expected to return as Mera and Patrick Wilson back as Orm. The original Aquaman, released in December 2018, grossed more than $1 billion, making it the only DC film to reach that number outside of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy. Wan is producing alongside Peter Safran, with David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick returning to pen the script.

Wan is preparing to launch his next directorial effort, the original horror film Malignant, which hits theaters and HBO Max on Sept. 10. He previously was developing the horror-tinged Aquaman spinoff The Trench, but Warners opted not to move forward with that project in April.

In addition to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Warners has a full roster of DC Film projects coming up, including The Suicide Squad (Aug. 6), The Batman (March 4, 2022), The Flash (Nov. 4, 2022), and Warners’ and New Line’s Black Adam (July 29, 2022) and Shazam! Fury of the Gods (June 2, 2023). Blue Beetle, Batgirl, Supergirl, Green Lantern Corps, Static Shock and Wonder Woman 3 are also in the works.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has a release date of Dec. 16, 2022.
