Meryl Streep and Selena Gomez recreating some Devil Wears Prada magic is the nostalgia kick you NEED!

Hindustan Times31-05-2025
First things first — Meryl Streep is returning for season 5 of Only Murders in the Building. What's more, the 'announcement' per se, was made via an unmissable Devil Wears Prada reference!
In a video shared yesterday by Hulu and the official page of the drama series, the Oscar-winning actor made an appearance in a video alongside Selena Gomez to celebrate her comeback to the show.
In the delightfully fun clip, the duo reenacted an iconic moment from The Devil Wears Prada (2006), in which Meryl played the career-defining (at least as per pop culture) Miranda Priestly. For reference, the scene is that of Miranda critiquing Andy Sachs —played by Anne Hathaway —for lacking any and all perceptible sense of style. The scene shows Andy beginning to reply but Miranda , very characteristically, cutting her off with a sharp, stinging remark about how she wasn't really asking a question, but instead making a statement.
In Meryl and Selena's video, the latter curtly, in classic Miranda-style, says, "So you're returning for season 5". Meryl having switched places to spiritually play Andy, mimics Anne's response to a T by saying, "Well, I think that depends on—". She of course is cut off quite promptly by Selena who very coldly says, "No, no, that wasn't a question".

Want that last bit of punch? The caption to the post read, "Gird your loins, Meryl is returning for Season 5! That's all". Now tell us you didn't read that out in Nigel's nifty voice.
Now while Only Murders in the Building and The Devil Wears Prada have no connection besides Meryl, it is worth mentioning here that the movie has been all over the news owing to an official sequel being in the works. The Devil Wears Prada 2, which already has Meryl and Emily Blunt set to return, is eyeing a May 1 release next year.
Incidentally, this will be the first Friday of May 2026, just before the first Monday of May that year, which we all know, is Met Gala day. So, 'gird your loins' indeed!

'This is a temple to the peoples art': George Lucas makes Comic-Con debut, unveils first look at his museum

Washington DC [US], July 28 (ANI): George Lucas made his first appearance at Comic-Con in San Diego. The 81-year-old got a big ovation from thousands of fans who waited hours just to get inside, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Filmmaker George Lucas, whose 'Star Wars' movies helped create many of the ideas of modern fandoms, also received a standing ovation when he left the presentation, which was devoted entirely to the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. He, along with museum board member and fellow art collector del Toro and Chiang, was there to not only give a first look at the museum but also make a case for the importance and validity of narrative art, which includes comic book art, as a vital form of expression. Queen Latifah, the Grammy, Emmy, and Golden Globe-winning actress and recording artist, moderated the panel. "This is a temple to the people's art," Lucas said, speaking about the idea for his museum. His first words in Hall H were about how he began acquiring art while in college, but all he could afford was comic book art. With success, he expanded his art collection to over 40,000 pieces, as per the outlet. "What is important to me, what is magical, is not a man and his collection, it's a lineage of images," explained del Toro. "We are in a critical moment in which one thing that likes to disappear is the past," according to The Hollywood Reporter. "And this is memorialising a popular, vociferous and eloquent moment in our visual past that belongs to all of us. And the museum celebrates this," he added. A video presentation showcased the interior of the museum -- there are no right angles anywhere, Latifah underscored -- as well as images that will be included in the collection. Chiang explained that comic art in particular had long been discounted. "It's not taken seriously," he said, and when he was younger was told, "You will outgrow it one day." "I'm so glad I didn't," he said, before driving home the point that one of the strengths of narrative art is that it's driven by story. "Story comes first. Art comes second," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The idea that narrative art drives community and common belief systems was one to which Lucas, in sometimes elliptical ways, repeatedly returned. Del Toro also shared philosophical thoughts and explained the differences between art for myth-building purposes and art for propaganda purposes "Myth belongs to all of us, propaganda belongs to a very small group," he said. "Myth unites us, propaganda divides us." The Lucas Museum is dedicated to illustrated storytelling across time, cultures, and media, and its collection will include works by Norman Rockwell, Kadir Nelson, Jessie Willcox Smith, N. C. Wyeth, Beatrix Potter, Judy Baca, Frida Kahlo, and Maxfield Parrish. There will also be showcases for work by comic artists, including Winsor McCay, Jack Kirby, Frank Frazetta, Alison Bechdel, Chris Ware, and R. Crumb, as well as photographers Gordon Parks, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Dorothea Lange. The museum, which has had its opening pushed back several times, is slated to open in 2026, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)

Christopher Nolan's ‘The Odyssey' Wades Into African Territorial Dispute

(Bloomberg) -- Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan's upcoming movie is sparking controversy in North Africa, with the decision to shoot some scenes in a long-disputed territory incurring the ire of a rebel group fighting for independence. Nolan, who took home two Academy Awards for Oppenheimer in 2024, has chosen to film parts of The Odyssey in the desert landscape near Dakhla, an Atlantic city in Western Sahara. The area was recognized by US President Donald Trump as coming under Moroccan rule in 2020, opening up a wave of investment, development and tourism. Nolan picked a number of global locations for The Odyssey, a $250 million epic starring Matt Damon as the Greek hero Odysseus alongside a host of other stars including Oscar winners Charlize Theron and Lupita Nyong'o. But the choice of Dakhla may garner the most attention for Universal Studios Inc. after strong criticism from the Polisario Front, an armed group that claims to be the legitimate representative of the indigenous people of Western Sahara. Polisario, based in Algeria and considered by Morocco as a proxy for its larger neighbor and arch rival, accused The Odyssey's makers of whitewashing colonialism and committing 'a clear violation of international law and ethical standards governing cultural and artistic work.' The group abandoned a long-standing ceasefire in 2020, and has previously warned that continued support for Moroccan rule by the US — later joined by France and Spain — would leave it with no choice but to step up its resistance. That said, attacks to date have mainly targeted Moroccan troops hundreds of miles away near the Algerian border. Neither Universal nor representatives for the filmmakers responded to emailed requests for comment. The filming in Dakhla comes within the context of 'a broader and very concerted Moroccan strategy to leverage its economic, political and cultural influence to try and solidify its claim to the territory,' said Hugh Lovatt, a senior policy fellow for the Middle East and North Africa region at the European Council on Foreign Relations. 'There is a sense that the international community is increasingly aligning behind the Moroccan positions.' The dispute over Western Sahara has caught the attention of Hollywood in the past, with Spanish stars Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz expressing concern about human rights violations against the Sahrawi people in the area. One way for Universal and Nolan to avoid negative publicity would be 'to give a voice and agency to the Sahrawis,' Lovatt said. For Morocco, Nolan's arrival is a boost for its push to promote investment and tourism in a region that it sees as a driver of wealth creation for decades to come. 'This is a production that is extremely important for Morocco,' said Reda Benjelloun, who heads CCM, the Moroccan government agency in charge of promoting the film industry. 'It's the first major Hollywood production to choose the southern provinces,' he added, in reference to the disputed territory. Nolan traveled to Dakhla earlier this month, having already filmed parts of The Odyssey in Morrocan locations in Essaouira, Marrakech and Ouarzazate, as well as countries such as Greece and Scotland. Morocco has long been a favored location for Hollywood, from 1962's Lawrence of Arabia to Ridley Scott's Gladiator series. 'This is extremely important for Morocco and the film industry's development goals,' Benjelloun said in a phone interview. 'It establishes Dakhla in the film ecosystem.' --With assistance from Chris Miller. More stories like this are available on
