After a long marriage, Kevin Costner (70) is single again. Despite his age, he’s not planning to go through life alone.

In 2024, following his divorce, he stated: "I can't wither away like a daisy. I must move on." The charmer still attracts enough interest from the ladies. However, maintaining that interest is still quite a challenge.

Potential Relationships

Perhaps this is because he is still busy with work, as are his 'love interests'. He was spotted with Jewel for a while, but they turned out to be just good friends. Also, Kevin and Jennifer Lopez shared a close relationship for some time, yet they were merely discussing a potential collaboration and exchanging business tips.

On Radar Online, it’s mentioned that Kevin shares a great connection with January Jones (47), the actress from Mad Men. They met last year at a party and hit it off well. However, neither of them seems to be in a hurry to start a relationship.

Finding Happiness

A source commented on his relationship with January Jones: "He hasn't been this happy with someone since Jewel. Kevin thrives with a partner, and it's great for him to have someone again." And likely, he won’t be forever missing out on love.

In a few weeks, The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be hitting theaters, but we will have to wait a whole year for the next Marvel film. We won't see Spider-Man: Brand New Day until July 2026.

The production of this new film has yet to begin, especially as lead actor Tom Holland was busy filming The Odyssey with Christopher Nolan. However, we now have a positive update.

Glasgow

According to the Scottish newspaper The Herald, filming for Brand New Day will start next month. Various streets in downtown Glasgow will be closed off in early August.

The city is frequently used as a stand-in for New York. Previous films like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and the upcoming The Running Man have also filmed there. Marvel is often very secretive, but with filming in a major city, there will undoubtedly be set photos leaked.

Rumors

There are many rumors circulating about the plot of the film. We already know that Jon Bernthal will appear as the Punisher, but we've also heard stories about a cameo from Hulk.

Johnny Depp seemed to have secured a major role when he joined Warner Bros. and Fantastic Beasts in 2016. Unfortunately, the fairy tale ended a bit short after accusations of domestic violence surfaced. Following his lost defamation case against The Sun, which labeled him a "woman beater", it was 'exit' for the actor.

Depp was meant to play the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in the five planned films of Beasts. He made a cameo at the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. However, the situation escalated when Amber Heard repeated her earlier allegations around the release of The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) and The Sun exacerbated the case.

Forced Departure

In an interview, the actor reflects on his exit from The Secrets of Dumbledore. While it was previously reported that he stepped down voluntarily, Depp reveals that he was asked to leave by the studio. This essentially means he was fired. He had already filmed three scenes in London.

Depp describes the moment as follows: "They [Warner Bros.] said: we want you to resign. But what I really thought was: they want me to retire. F*** you. There are way too many versions of me to destroy. If you think you can hurt me worse than I already am, you are mistaken."

Hefty Payout

A small consolation is that Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore with Mads Mikkelsen as his replacement, flopped hard. This seems to mark the near end of the spin-off series. However, thanks to a clause in his contract, the actor received a payout between 10 and 16 million dollars.

With the upcoming release of Alien: Earth on Hulu / Disney+ and the Amazon Prime series Blade Runner 2099, a new television era seems to be emerging for the legacy of Ridley and Tony Scott. According to David W. Zucker from Scott Free Productions, this is just the beginning of a series of adaptations of films from the brothers’ oeuvre.

Zucker, Chief Creative Officer of Scott Free, indicated during the Monte-Carlo Television Festival that for the first time in his 24-year career at the production house, titles from the Scott brothers are being adapted into TV series. In addition to the aforementioned projects, other films by the duo are currently being considered for possible adaptation for the small screen.

New Opportunities

The shift in the landscape of studios and streaming services plays a significant role here. Increased investments in television, decreasing costs of visual effects, and the ability to delve into complex stories make it more attractive than ever to convert classic films into modern TV series. "It starts with the question of a project's raison d'être," Zucker explains. "Even though the familiarity of the title plays a role, it must also make sense content-wise."

One of the hurdles with these adaptations is securing rights. Close collaboration with the involved studios is essential, but according to Zucker, there are several interesting projects in the pipeline. He expects to have more clarity by the end of summer regarding which titles will actually move forward.

Other Projects

Not every potential adaptation is being developed by Scott Free. For instance, the series based on Man on Fire, originally directed by Tony Scott, is in the hands of Netflix and New Regency. That series is based on the original book, hence Scott Free is not involved in the project.

The gripping sci-fi action series Alice in Borderland returns to Netflix in September for its third season. The streaming service has now released the first teaser for the new episode series.

The series once again takes viewers into a dangerous alternate reality where survival is paramount. Season 2 previously opened at the number one spot in Netflix's global Top 10 for non-English series. Many people will be looking forward to the third season.

New Characters

The story in season 3 continues from the manga source material by Haro Aso and delves deeper into the mysterious world between life and death. Director Shinsuke Sato returns, as do lead actors Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya reprising their roles as Arisu and Usagi.

In addition to familiar faces like Hayato Isomura, Ayaka Miyoshi, and Katsuya Maiguma, this season will also showcase new faces including Koji Ohkura, Risa Sudou, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, Tina Tamashiro, Kotaro Daigo, Hyunri, Sakura Kiryu, and Kento Kaku. Yugo Mikawa, Joey Iwanaga, and Akana Ikeda will also make their appearance.

Twists

According to the official synopsis, Arisu and Usagi are now married and living a peaceful life but are still haunted by dreams of the Borderland. When Usagi suddenly disappears, she returns to the alternate world with Ryuji (Kaku), a man researching the afterlife.



Arisu is then visited by Banda, a permanent resident of the Borderland, who reveals Usagi’s whereabouts. To find her, Arisu must once again enter the life-threatening world he thought he had left behind for good.

September

The new season of Alice in Borderland premieres on Thursday, September 25, on Netflix.

Netflix is once again cleaning house and is discontinuing two original series after just one season. The mysterious comedy The Residence and the medical drama Pulse have been cancelled immediately, while the dark comedy No Good Deed is currently on hold.

The Residence premiered in March this year and revolved around Cordelia Cupp, a consultant at the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington D.C., portrayed by Uzo Aduba. The series followed her investigation into a murder during a state dinner at the White House.

Another Hospital Drama Disappears

The series Pulse premiered in April and showcased the chaos in a trauma center in Miami during a hurricane and internal tensions. The cast included Willa Fitzgerald, Colin Woodell, Justina Machado, and Néstor Carbonell.

Netflix seems to base its decisions on disappointing viewership numbers and reception. Although both series had strong casts, they failed to build a substantial audience that would justify a second season.

Future Of No Good Deed Uncertain

The dark comedy No Good Deed, which premiered at the end of 2024, has not been officially canceled yet. The series, about three families competing to buy the same house, is reportedly possibly in development as an anthology series and could return in the future with a new cast.

Earlier this year, Netflix Originals such as Territory and The Recruit were also shut down, indicating a broader cleaning effort at the streaming service.
