On July 24th, The JoJo World – the initial permanent retail store for the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure franchise – is scheduled to open in Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward, at the Shibuya PARCO. In honor of this grand event, a special gathering featuring all nine main characters from across the series will take place. The artwork from the original series will be showcased within the store, as well as on various merchandise items.

Instead of wearing her typical rubber boots, the supermodel, aged 55, chose a chic black outfit and fancy designer accessories instead.

To start off, let’s discuss in broad terms Disney’s reimagined live-action films. These productions often incorporate alterations that spark debate among viewers. In an article I penned, I argued that successful live-action adaptations from Disney could be achieved by adhering to the original source material while making modifications that resonate with the storyline and uphold the film’s core themes.

Mike Flanagan, renowned for his dark endings in horror movies, has declared he won’t be making such conclusions anymore, which might prove tricky for his Carrie series. Flanagan is well-known for his work on Stephen King adaptations, having directed films like Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep, and The Life of Chuck. He is also working on a fresh take on one of King’s most significant works, The Dark Tower.

This year, I found myself back in action as the beloved character in the fourth installment of the series. The narrative followed my journey as a widowed mom after the demise of Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth.

As it happens, those accessories you’re curious about have a particular significance in the show. The creator, Molly Smith Metzler, drew inspiration from her 2011 play “Elemeno Pea” when designing their use. In an interview with Variety, Metzler clarified that the lockets are not filled with drugs or anything of that nature, as was suggested in the question posed to her. Instead, they serve a more symbolic purpose within the narrative of the show.

In the upcoming movie adaptation of “Wicked,” many beloved moments and songs like “For Good” will remain, but there are some alterations to the original musical. The team behind “Wicked: For Good” is planning to incorporate two fresh tunes into the film. One of these new songs will be centered around Glinda, though its specific lyrics and title have yet to be revealed. Additionally, the trailer suggests a shift in Glinda’s character compared to her portrayal in the stage musical.

Currently, Hamill is actively publicizing his role in Mike Flanagan’s rendition of Stephen King’s novel “The Life of Chuck“. Recently, he discussed this new venture on NPR’s podcast, Fresh Air. In addition to talking about this project, the actor reminisced about his acting journey and, unsurprisingly, the sci-fi space opera “Star Wars” emerged as a pivotal part of his career. Hamill shares that he didn’t read the entire script until he was offered the role. “That experience,” he recalls, “of sitting down to read the script and realizing I had been cast will always stay with me. Even without John Williams’ music or special effects, just reading it felt like a dream.
