The White Lotus Season 4 in works. Details

India Today2 days ago
HBO's Emmy-winning satire 'The White Lotus' is officially returning for Season 4, with creator Mike White back at the helm. While the storyline is still under development, the wheels are already in motion - White is currently scouting for potential filming locations as early planning gets underway.HBO's Chief Content Officer, Casey Bloys, confirmed the update in a conversation with The Wrap, saying, 'Mike (White) pitched a little - I know the general outline of what Season 4 is going to be.' That's enough to spark curiosity, even as the finer details remain tightly under wraps.advertisementWhere the next season will unfold is still a mystery - and a hot topic of speculation. Reports from Harper's Bazaar Australia suggest White had secured a major filming grant from the Norwegian Film Institute, fuelling rumours that the show could head to Scandinavia. However, the plan may have hit a roadblock over financial disagreements. Adding to the uncertainty, executive producer David Bernad hinted that Norway's frigid climate might not appeal to White, whom he described as 'a California guy.'
Warmer locations now seem to be in the mix. Destinations like Mexico, Egypt, and Australia are reportedly being considered - each offering dramatic landscapes and luxurious properties that align with the show's trademark aesthetic. The previous seasons were filmed at Four Seasons resorts, and the team is said to be exploring new locations from the hotel chain's global portfolio.Given the show's expansive production timeline, fans will likely have to wait until late 2026 or 2027 for the new season to drop. 'Mike is percolating in his head,' Bloys said, referring to the creative process behind selecting the perfect setting.As always, the intrigue surrounding 'The White Lotus' lies not just in its razor-sharp storytelling, but also in its ever-shifting, postcard-perfect locations. With Season 3 famously moving from Japan to Thailand during pre-production, the next destination is anyone's guess. One thing is certain—wherever the story lands, it's bound to be unsettling, luxurious, and completely irresistible.- Ends

Christopher Nolan's ‘The Odyssey' sells out Imax 70MM screenings a year in advance, resale prices hit $400

In an unprecedented display of anticipation, Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic 'The Odyssey' has sold out nearly all of its Imax 70mm preview screenings a full year before its scheduled release. The film, a reimagining of Homer's legendary tale, will feature Matt Damon as Odysseus and is being shot entirely on Imax film cameras — a historic first for a commercial feature. At midnight Eastern Time on Thursday, Imax officially announced the early ticket release via its social media channels, offering seats for a limited number of 70mm screenings at 25 to 26 select locations across North America. These screenings are scheduled for the weekend of July 17–19, 2026, with an additional preview on Thursday afternoon, July 16. Within an hour of the announcement, approximately 95 percent of the tickets — priced at an average of $25 to $28 — had been purchased, generating around $1.5 million in advance sales. Industry sources report that demand quickly outstripped supply, leading to a secondary market surge with some tickets being resold for as much as $300 to $400 on platforms like eBay. This marks the first known instance in cinema history where tickets have been made available an entire year ahead of a film's release. The fervour reflects Nolan's dedicated fanbase and the lingering impact of his 2023 Oscar-winning success 'Oppenheimer', which performed exceptionally well in Imax cinemas. With 'The Odyssey', Nolan continues his tradition of blending technical innovation with narrative ambition, and early sales suggest audiences are eager to witness his latest vision on the grandest screen possible. Apart from Matt Damon, the film will also feature a huge ensemble cast including Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, and Jon Bernthal. This film will see the return of Nolan's core crew such as Hoyte van Hoytema as the cinematographer, Ludwig Goransson as the composer, and Emma Thomas as the producer.
