Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Ralph Fiennes To Star In ‘28 Years Later’ For Danny Boyle And Sony Pictures
deadline.com/2024/04/28-years-later-movie-aaron-taylor-johnson-jodie-comer-ralph-fiennes-1235894028/
Quick Glance: 28 Years Later: Cast Revealed with Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes
- Sony Pictures' work on 28 Years Later is progressing, as Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson have all signed up to join Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s post-apocalyptic follow-up, according to Deadline.
- The three stars are now attached to the first of a planned three-movie run for the franchise. Details about their roles remain undisclosed at this time.
- Fiennes, Comer, and Taylor-Johnson each possess enough star power to carry their own films. Fiennes is best known for his roles in The Grand Budapest Hotel and Schindler’s List, but also made a name for himself as an intimidating head chef and as Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter movies. Taylor-Johnson has appeared in numerous superhero films and is allegedly a top candidate to take on James Bond. Comer has a significant presence in Killing Eve and has also been in Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel and Ryan Reynolds-led Free Guy.
- 28 Years Later aims to bring the three stars together to narrate a story penned by Garland and directed by Boyle. However, the trio is only committed to the initial installment, leaving their return for future films uncertain. A second film in what could be a 28 Years Later trilogy is already confirmed, with Nia DaCosta as the favored choice to direct. The filming plan involves shooting both movies consecutively.
In the face of bans, ByteDance tightens grip over US TikTok operations: Relationship between TikTok, ByteDance deepens as tensions over the app’s ownership ...
ft.com/content/0e040c03-e979-4acd-a6aa-6298301dcc42
Quick Glance: Potential Buyers for TikTok Revealed
- The clock is ticking for TikTok to find a new owner. President Joe Biden signed a law that could ban TikTok in the US unless ByteDance sells the app. Possible buyers range from tech companies to retailers and investment bankers.
- Established tech giants like Meta or Google are unlikely buyers due to antitrust hurdles. Large companies with deep pockets face regulatory skepticism, although they could have the resources to purchase TikTok.
- Microsoft, which has shown interest in TikTok in the past, may have another opportunity after successfully navigating antitrust scrutiny with the Activision Blizzard deal. Oracle and former US government officials like Steven Mnuchin are also potential buyers.
- Mnuchin has announced assembling a team of investors to acquire TikTok. His offer, however, might exclude TikTok's algorithm, sparking controversial discussions. Other potential buyers like Kevin O'Leary are also considering acquiring TikTok, with O'Leary suggesting an initial bid between $20 and $30 billion.

GTA 5 Had Trevor DLC Before Rockstar Scrapped It, Voice Actor Steven Ogg Says - IGN
ign.com/articles/gta-5-had-trevor-dlc-before-rockstar-scrapped-it-voice-actor-steven-ogg-says
Quick Glance: GTA 5's Scrapped 'James Bond Trevor' DLC Partially Filmed, Actor Reveals
- The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrapped sometime before 2017.
- Agent Trevor was originally one of three episodic packs planned for GTA 5’s post-launch story DLC, along with 'Zombie Apocalypse' and 'Alien Invasion.'
- While the DLC was silently axed sometime between 2013 (when it was initially announced) and 2017 (when its cancelation was confirmed), much of its content was adapted for GTA Online’s Doomsday and Diamond Casino heists.
- While all hopes of GTA 5 story DLC are dashed, maybe there’s a small sliver of hope that Rockstar will go back to producing story-based DLC when GTA 6 arrives.
