“Hello, ChatGPT” and implying that they used the AI to write the film. They did not.From the trailer for Gran Turismo, Chris saw that the movie was

not a video game adaptation. The film is a family drama that can be a hit at the box office and play better than most people think. Neil Blomkamp’s racing scenes look intense and unlike any racing film we’ve ever seen.

Jennifer Lawrence takes on the sex-comedy genre in No Harsh Feelings

.10For Sony’s presentation of No Hard Feelings, Jennifer Lawrence and the film’s director, Gene Stupnitsky took to the stage. Lawrence plays Maddie an Uber driver who is facing bankruptcy. She responds an unusual Craigslist post that asks her to date a gifted but socially clueless teen. No Hard Feelings will debut in theaters on June 23rd

.For Sony’s presentation of No Hard Feelings

, Jennifer Lawrence and the film’s director, Gene Stupnitsky, took the stage. They showed a clip in which Maddie (Lawrence), a girl hired to take the virginity of a geeky child (Andrew Barth Feldman), meets him by adopting a dog. He wanted to set her up with a dog named Milo, a former police dog addicted to cocaine.Bumbray says the movie looks hilarious. Lawrence is a star who can change the perception of her by the public. No Harsh Feelings

may be a big hit. Chris says Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman) subverts expectations. He’s a virgin, a geek, but he doesn’t drool over Lawrence. He’s shocked by her free-spiritedness. He doesn’t want to sleep with her so she has a hard time seducing him. The clip features Lawrence’s character listening to “The Stroke” by Billy Squire, an ace soundtrack selection.For Sony’s Napoleon presentation, Tom Rothman promised the film would get a robust campaign and release before eventually moving to Apple TV+. Rothman said that this movie must be seen on a big screen, and he showed footage to prove it. Rothman claims Scott has never been awarded the Oscar for Best Director, and that this is an attempt to finally win him the award. Rothman claims that he does all of his VFX in-camera because

“he can and others cannot.” It’s crazy Napoleon was ever a streaming film. The soundtrack (by Martin Phipps), shows Napoleon’s army setting up an ambush using decoys, to fool the Russian military into thinking they are on higher ground. The battle sequence, where the Russians are forced onto the ice, and then Napoleon releases the cannons to make them fall into the ice, is impressive.

Joaquin doesn’t go overboard with his accent or manner, and is almost subdued. His presentation in this is very different, even disciplined. Napoleon looks like an epic in every sense, and Scott hasn’t lost a beat. If anyone thought The Last Duel (which was amazing) needed more action and battles, this would satisfy them immensely.

Ridley Scott’s Napoleon will be an “original and personal look at Napoleon’s origins and his swift, ruthless climb to emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine. The film’s goal is to capture Napoleon’s famous battles, his ambition, and his strategic mind. However, the love story between Napoleon and Josephine is equally important to the origins of the great military leader. Scott said, “You have to serve battles and action with great restraint. You’ve got a lot of sex, too. “Otherwise it gets boring. What is it that makes Napoleon so fascinating? Very simply this: a man who was one of the most powerful men in history, yet is so reliant on a woman.“Napoleon

will hit theaters on November 22nd before streaming on Apple TV+.Sydney Sweeney and Glenn Powell star in Will Gluck’s

Anyone But You, a loosely based take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. They pretend to be married for personal reasons when they reunite years after graduation for a destination wedding. They fall in love by pretending to be a couple. The film literally finished in Sydney, Australia. Sydney said that she loved Top Gun Maverick

, but believed Powell was Miles Teller up until the fourth day shooting. The two actors do not get along, in classic rom-com fashion. The footage in the dailies promises plenty of skin for both leads. Dermot Mulroney, Alexandra Shipp and Dermot Mulroney also star in the film.
