We're starting today in Hollywood. Writers are set to
meet with Hollywood's top studios and streamers today and a
return to formal negotiations in what's now day 102 of
the strike. The Writers Guild of America expressed its
eagerness for discussions to continue in an email to members
yesterday. The WG A said it quote, returns
to the bargaining table ready to make a fair deal
knowing the unified WG A membership stands behind us and
buoyed by the ongoing support of our union allies.
Following an August 4th meeting, the WG A informed
members that they and the alliance of motion picture and
TV. Producers still saw core issues differently. So
we'll see if there's a resolution on the horizon.
And if you're hoping for a Wonder Woman Three,
I was well, there seems to be some confusion
and it is a little bit disappointing. According to
an exclusive report from variety magazine sources said that a
third installment of Wonder Woman is not in the works
. Despite what Gal Gadot said in an interview with
comic books dot com, good said that she loves
playing the character and that DC studio heads James Gunn
and Peter Saffron told her that the three of them
would develop the third movie together. The actress doubled
down in an interview with Flat Magazine that the studio
had told her that they loved her as Wonder Woman
and that she shouldn't be worried about her future in
the DC universe. While Variety source contradicts that the
source claimed to variety, that nothing was ever promised
to good. Nor were there any quote definitive discussion
of her return? And speaking of Gal Gadot,
Heart of Stone is the latest action adventure to hit
Netflix, starring the actress who swaps superhero for spy
playing lead agent Rachel Stone. The globe trotting thriller
also starts Jamie Dornan and all. But our West
Coast correspondent as Salino spoke to the entire cast.
Here's a look at Jamie Dorman had to say about
the film and what makes, what makes it so
timely wondering what your training was like for Heart of
Stone. I had to do a lot of stunt
training. A lot of, a lot of fighting
. A lot of throwing guys and girls who are
probably stronger than me around the face and making that
look convincing. So yeah, I had a lot
of, I had a lot of, I had
a lot of fun with it for Dornan. The
suspense comes to life with the film's exploration of A
I and ethics. How do you feel about A
I because this is really timely for our industry.
Are you hesitant Are you ready for the future?
I think I'm a bit terrified. Probably if I
, it's when I allow myself to think about it
too much. Now, we made this movie without
that really being the public consciousness in the way it
is today. It's so weird that now a year
and a half after making the movie or a year
after finishing the movie, it's so prevalent in our
daily news cycle and, and our daily consciousness globally
. It's mad how that sort of worked out and
the timing of it. But um God, I
think if any of us allow ourselves to think about
it, it is truly terrifying how big it is
and how, how scary it can become if not
handled in the right way. And thanks to our
correspondent, a sin for that, you can stream
Heart of Stone right now on Netflix and moving over
to the music world. Olivia Rodrigo is back with
her new single. It's titled Bad Idea, right
? The track is accompanied by a music video featuring
her and her friends at a house party where she
inevitably leaves to go see her ex God. We've
all been there. This is the second song from
her upcoming sophomore album titled Guts, which we will
be releasing on September 8th. And that's a look
at what's trending.
