Popular Julia Roberts 90s Movie Gets Sequel Update
What movie from the 1990s has a new update from Mulroney?
Speaking to The Post in a recent interview, Mulroney opened up about a potential sequel to the 1997 rom-com My Best Friend's Wedding. Fans of the film have been hopeful for a potential re-visiting at some point, and Mulroney noted that there has been some positive movement on one.
'I know nothing about it. Last I heard, quote, lawyers were talking, unquote,' Mulroney said. Roberts had also previously expressed interest in a sequel as well. In 2023, the star said that, out of all the movies she's done, she'd like to see that one get a sequel.
'Because there's so many people in it, and to see what they're doing and how Kimmy and Michael's marriage is going,' said Roberts while on an episode of Watch What Happens Live. 'Well, I mean, of course, Jules. But he married Kimmy.'
The original film followed the story of NYC food critic Julianne 'Jules' Potter (played by Roberts) who had previously agreed to marry her friend (Mulroney) if they were both still unmarried at 28. The movie was a massive hit, earning almost $300 million at the box office and earning an Oscar nomination (for Best Original Musical or Comedy Score) and three Golden Globe nominations.

Kristine W feared for life on turbulent Delta Air Lines flight
EDM star Kristine W feared for her life when violent turbulence rocked her Amsterdam-bound Delta Air Lines flight Wednesday, sending 25 passengers to hospital. Now, the 'The Boss' songstress believes she has a concussion after she was sent flying into the overhead compartment aboard the rattling Airbus A330-900, a model of aircraft her lawyers allege has a history of malfunctions and shouldn't have been cleared to fly. 'It was absolutely horrifying … I've been performing for 40 years and I've been on airplanes all over the world, and I've never experienced anything like that. I thought, 'We were not going to make it on this one,'' the singer, whose real name is Kristine Elizabeth Weitz, told The Post in an exclusive interview. 5 Singer Kristine W suffered injuries aboard the turbulent Delta Air Lines flight that made an emergency landing this week. Getty Images for iHeartRadio 'I'm a leukemia survivor, and the last time I felt that kind of terror and hopelessness was when I was diagnosed with leukemia 25 years ago.' Weitz was aboard the fated plane out of Salt Lake City to perform at a festival in Amsterdam — posting a joyful picture of herself and her daughter at the gate shortly before takeoff. They were just about an hour into the flight when the attendants were serving drinks and the plane, which can seat more than 250 people, began rattling violently. Passengers were thrown around with food carts and other belongings flying through the cabin. The turbulence came out of nowhere, so the seatbelt light was still off, Weitz recalled. 5 Weitz and her daughter seen smiling at the gate before the flight. Kristine W /Instagram The 17-time Billboard chart topper was wearing the restraint loosely anyway, but it wasn't enough to hold her down or keep her from smashing into the plastic overhang of her window seat. 'I had broken the plastic up in the roof above my head,' said Weitz, adding that the force was so great that she also has bruises on her hips from her seatbelt. Her daughter, Elizabeth, who was sitting elsewhere in the plane, remained in her seat, but suffered whiplash and back pain. One of the flight attendant carts tipped over her during the turbulence and covered her in food and liquids, she said. 5 Weitz suffered bruising from her seatbelt, seen her over an existing surgery scar. Courtesy of Evan Oshan The pair watched other passengers suffer more violent injuries, including one man who was fully lifted out of his seat. The aircraft made an emergency landing Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where 25 people were carted away to hospitals. Weitz claims she was not seen by emergency services because the responders only paid attention to those who were 'bleeding.' 'They didn't seem ready to handle an incident like that at all. That was the most terrifying part, was watching the disarray,' the singer said. 'We're told they're trained to know what to do with emergencies like this and, wow … that was not the case.' 5 The ceiling sustained damage after some passengers were thrown into the air. Courtesy of Evan Oshan The dance music superstar fears that the incident will have lasting effects both physically and mentally — she's awaiting doctors to confirm her fears that she suffered a concussion, but is more concerned that her anxiety will prevent her from boarding planes in the future. Weitz is currently in Amsterdam for a festival, but says she only made it overseas because of contract obligations: 'I'm not sure, cognitively, if I can remember my lyrics.' Now, her legal team is calling for Delta to ground all Airbus A330-900 aircraft so a federal probe can investigate a string of malfunctions associated with the fleet. 'We believe this was a predictable and preventable occurrence,' said Evan Oshan of Oshan and Associates, who is working with Daily Jones Law Group as co-counsel. 5 Carts carrying food and drink spilled across the cabin, including some items that drenched Weitz's daughter. Facebook / Ricardo Hoogesteger Lawyers filed a formal complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration Friday, alleging that the fleet has a history of critical flight system malfunctions, a pattern of emergency landings and go-arounds, and more. 'They have to find out what was wrong with that plane and what happened, because no one should experience anything like this,' said Weitz. The National Transportation Safety Board said its investigation was too preliminary to determine whether the aircraft had pre-existing defects. Delta Air Lines would not provide new information, and the FAA did not respond to request for comment.

Anthony Mackie Says an Unreleased Film From the ‘Worst Director to Ever Direct' Almost Cost Him His ‘Hurt Locker' Role: ‘They Offered It To Somebody Else'
Anthony Mackie is opening up about how he almost lost his role in 'The Hurt Locker' because of another director's unreleased film. During a recent episode of Variety's 'Know Their Lines,' Mackie shared the backstory behind being cast in the 2009 Oscar-winner. More from Variety Anthony Mackie Jokes He's a 'White Dude Legend' Since His Co-Stars Often Get Award Nominations Over Him: 'I Made Ryan Gosling Famous. Jeremy Renner...' 'Captain America: Brave New World' Sets Disney+ Streaming Date 'Sneaks' Review: Sneakerhead Culture Gets Animated in Pedestrian Kiddie Feature ''Hurt Locker' is probably one of the most important acting experiences I had,' he began. 'We shot that in 2007, and I remember I was doing a movie in North Carolina with quite possibly the worst director to ever direct. Ironically, because of that the movie never came out.' He continued, 'Because of that, the movie went over and I had to pull out of 'Hurt Locker.' They offered it to somebody else, and he said no because it wasn't enough money.' Despite Mackie being tied up with the other film, the production offered him the role again and was willing to wait until he wrapped the unreleased project. 'I went from this sucky director who had no business in being in the business or in the director's chair to Kathryn Bigelow,' Mackie said. 'The moment I landed in Amman, Jordan, we hit the ground running [with] cultural research, military research, character studies – the real work a director does. It really was poignant to me the type of people I want to work with and the type of people who shouldn't be working.' Mackie's performance in 'The Hurt Locker' was a career-defining role as he played Sergeant J.T. Sanborn, a soldier and member of the fictional bomb disposal unit in Baghdad, Iraq. The film received widespread critical praise for its portrayal of the war in Iraq. At the 82nd Academy Awards in 2010, 'The Hurt Locker' took home six awards from its nine nominations for best motion picture, best achievement in directing, best writing, original screenplay, best achievement in film editing, best achievement in sound mixing and best achievement in sound editing.

Louis Sachar meant to be a lawyer before writing 'Holes,' 'Sideways Stories from Wayside School'
Louis Sachar really intended to be a lawyer. But, in between starting law school at the Hastings College of Law in 1977 and graduating in 1980, he published his first book, 'Sideways Stories from Wayside School.' The zany, often surreal compendium of classroom antics went on to become a young adult classic, spawning a four-book series and a TV show. Advertisement 4 Louis Sachar, the acclaimed writer of young adult books, intended to be a lawyer. Alex Labry 'I kept thinking, 'Boy, I really need to get a law job,'' Sachar, 71, told The Post in his soft-spoken West Coast drawl. To date, 'Wayside' has sold over 15 million copies, according to Publishers Weekly, and it's never been out of print since it was first published in 1978, save for a brief period after the original Chicago-based publisher folded. While the debut is a clear fan favorite, the East Meadow, Long Island-native's most acclaimed book is 1998's 'Holes.' Advertisement The story of a boy who is wrongly accused of theft and sent to a juvenile detention center in Texas won a National Book Award and a Newbery Medal, and Sachar adapted it into a Disney movie that grossed over $70 million. Now the 71-year-old, who lives in Newport Beach, Calif., is attempting something new: his first novel for adults, 'The Magician of Tiger Castle,' out Aug. 5th. It's a Renaissance-era fantasy story starring a spunky princess named Tullia and her fatherly court magician, Anatole, who uses every trick he knows to help her escape a forced marriage. Advertisement 4 His new novel is the first book he's written for adults. Here, he talks to The Post about his storied 50-year writing career. What gave you the idea for 'Sideways Stories from Wayside School'? I was going to college at Berkeley, I was a senior, and I just needed a course to take to fill out my schedule. There was this little girl standing in the middle of the Berkeley quad handing out sheets of paper saying 'Help, we need teacher's aids at our school! Earn 3 units of credit.' I thought, well, that sounds easy and could be fun. And I really had no interest about kids at that time, I was trying to get through college. It turned out I ended up being assigned to this 3rd grade classroom and I'd go for an hour every day and I just loved it. It became my favorite thing to do. Then I got hired to be what they called their noontime supervisor and the kids all called me 'Louis the Yard Teacher' [who is a character in 'Wayside.'] So I thought I'd try writing a children's book after I graduated college and left the school. I never thought I'd continue writing more. Advertisement 4 'Holes,' which is set in a juvenile detention facility, is Sachar's most acclaimed book. The Wayside School books are funny and light, but the subject matter of 'Holes' is more serious. What inspired that book? I had written, I think, 16 books by then, and they were all about kids in school, and I just didn't want to write about kids in school anymore. And I got the idea of kids in a juvenile correctional facility, and I thought, 'kids will love reading about that.' I had moved to Texas from San Francisco, which was a big change both in culture and temperature, and just trying to plant a bush in my backyard, just digging a hole was a lot of work. I guess that's where I got the idea that the kids are digging holes out in the heat. What did your daughter [Sherre, now 38], think of your books growing up? She always had conflicting feelings about my books because all her friends in school were fans of mine. Her friends would say, 'Oh, your dad is Louis Sacher.' And she always didn't know if they liked her for her or because I was her father. Or she would get good grades — I didn't know this at the time, I found it out later — when her teachers would tell her she was a good writer, she thought it was just because she was my daughter that they were telling her that. What made you want to write a book for adults at this stage of your career? 4 Sachar's 'Sideways Stories from Wayside School' spawned a four-book series and TV show. When I first started it, I thought it was going to be a young adult book. I figured it would teach young adults a little bit about the Renaissance. I chose Anatole as a sort of quirky narrator to tell that story. As I wrote and worked on it day after day, Anatole just kind of became the center of the story, and it's not a good idea to have a 40-year-old in the center of your book for young people. Advertisement Any fond memories of growing up in New York as a kid? My dad worked in the Empire State Building on the 87th floor. It was a real treat to go there. I remember him talking about how somebody, for like a $1 bet, sat on the ledge of the window. Somebody in his office sat there, legs dangling over the edge of the 87th floor. I thought, 'That's fun.'
