Legacy Meets Luxury: Quixote Revives Iconic Star Waggons Brand With New Cast Trailer Models
The new luxury cast trailers are all fully electric and solar-powered with access to Quixote's Sustainable Fleet Dashboard. This on-demand tool provides real-time remote monitoring, management, and data analytics giving transportation and sustainability teams essential tools and insights for eco-conscious operations and reporting. Additionally, they are among the first to include Quixote's new power sharing capability, which enables the connection of solar all-electric trailers to share power from unit to unit. The new Star Waggons are programmed to preferentially use solar power while maintaining the ability to draw power from generators if necessary.
As the only product of its kind manufactured and maintained in Los Angeles by Local 399 teamsters employed by Quixote, Star Waggons are custom-built and expertly serviced to meet the discerning requirements of the entertainment industry's leading talent.
'Hollywood loves a comeback, and we are thrilled to bring a brand-new aesthetic and one-of-a-kind features to the latest models of the legendary and beloved Star Waggons cast trailers,' said Sean Griffin, Senior Vice President of Sales for Quixote and Sunset Studios. 'This marks a new chapter for Star Waggons, blending its iconic heritage with a modern approach that prioritizes sustainability, efficiency, and luxury for today's top talent.'
Star Waggons was founded in 1977 by actor Lyle Waggoner ('The Carol Burnett Show,' 'Wonder Woman'), who saw the need for customized trailers to serve talent on-set and created the first custom talent trailers. The brand has grown and evolved over the years, eventually joining the Quixote fleet of production trailers, trucks, lighting & grip, and other equipment. Now Quixote is doubling down with a new Star Waggons design for its luxury cast trailers and refreshed logo that preserves beloved elements of the original branding with a modern twist.
The first new Star Waggons single-cast trailer is currently available for booking and additional single, two-room, and three-room trailers will roll off the production line throughout the remainder of 2025.

James Gunn Says Casting for New Wonder Woman Hasn't Started Yet But Film Is a 'Priority'
James Gunn isn't in a rush to find the next Wonder Woman. The Superman director revealed that he's not currently casting for his Wonder Woman film while responding to rumors that fans shared on Threads. Gunn confirmed that he is not actively looking for actors to star in the movie 'nor even discussing it, until a script is finished.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Mikaela Hoover Talks 'Superman,' Cat Grant's Clark Kent Crush and 17 Years of James Gunn Team-Ups Box Office: 'Superman' Leaps Past $300M Globally, Nears $200M Domestically 'Superman' Breakout Sara Sampaio Explains How She Captured Cinema's Most Consequential Selfies He also denied speculation that DC Studios is specifically in search of 'an actress with a TV-centric resume, akin to Supergirl's Milly Alcock,' for the titular role. 'Nope. And I'd never in a million years look for a major role based on whether they did TV, films, or whatever,' he wrote. 'It's all about the casting.' Of the upcoming Wonder Woman film, the Guardians of the Galaxy writer-director further tackled rumors that the project is being 'fast-tracked,' according to reports. 'It's a priority but I wouldn't call that fast-tracked,' he said. 'Nothing is going to be shot unless we're as sure as we can be that the script is good.' Gunn recently opened up about his casting process for Superman. The lead role ultimately went to David Corenswet, though Nicholas Hoult (who ended up playing villain Lex Luthor) notably also auditioned for the role of the Man of Steel. 'You know, Nick Hoult auditioned [for Superman]. He's a great actor. I mean, some might say he's better than David in certain ways, but he just didn't fit the role, and that's why he didn't get that,' Gunn said. 'As much as you can transform yourself as a person, Nick was just more controlled.' Part of what sold Gunn on Corenswet as Superman was his chemistry test with Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane. 'One of the things that we were also doing was mixing and matching Lois and Clarks when we were auditioning them, and so I wanted to make sure that we had that chemistry right,' he said. 'David had better chemistry with Rachel because she's a very controlled actor, and David is a little bit more, you know, loose, and that creates a different type of dynamism onscreen.'

A little profit-taking to close out the week at entertainment giant Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD)? That is not out of line, especially after yesterday's 52-week high hit.

Reports note that Warner plans to start doing A/B testing on photo thumbnails used on HBO Max, a development that one of its biggest rivals, Netflix (NFLX), has already been engaged in for most of the last decade. Essentially, the project will show users several different thumbnail images for a particular video, or set of videos. Then, the system will be able to track which thumbnail displayed ended up with the most user engagement. The testing will be done with the most popular titles in Warner's stable at first, reports note, but then will expand outward from there. By the end of 2026's first half, almost all of the catalog should be using A/B testing on thumbnails. For now, humans will be handling thumbnail construction, but in the future, that job will be artificial intelligence's baby, reports note. Updates on DCU Movies With Warner's Superman win still ringing in its collective ears, attention turned to two of the other major properties in its arsenal. Namely, the two other founding members of the Justice League: Batman, with the upcoming The Brave and the Bold, and an as-yet-untitled Wonder Woman movie. The bad news, for those eager to catch the latest comic book outings, is that these two will be a while in coming. The scripts are still being written, and shooting cannot begin until the scripts are actually ready to go, as DC Studios CEO James Gunn noted. While the news of further waiting is not pleasant, it is comforting to note that Warner seems focused on giving the creative team the time it needs to properly incubate titles and bring out quality product. Is WBD Stock a Good Buy? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on WBD stock based on 10 Buys and eight Holds assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 48.1% rally in its share price over the past year, the average WBD price target of $13 per share implies 1.76% upside potential.
