Jurassic World Rebirth has earned mixed reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey-starrer brings dinosaurs back with a bang. Director Gareth Edwards (Godzilla) and screenwriter David Koepp, who wrote the original film, have reunited for the project, as per the Associated Press.

According to the official synopsis of the film, the story is set five years after Jurassic World Dominion. Dinosaurs are no longer a global spectacle. Climate shifts have pushed them to the equator. Now, a pharma giant wants DNA from three prehistoric giants - Mosasaurus, Quetzalcoatlus and Titanosaurus - to cure heart disease. But they need to be captured alive.
Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali play extraction experts hired to do the job. The duo share an understated chemistry that works. Their mission goes sideways when a stranded family - a father, his daughters, and a boyfriend - crash-lands into their plans.
The cast includes Rupert Friend as a slick villain and Jonathan Bailey as a palaeontologist brought in to identify species. Each brings something unique to this heist-meets-survival story.

The film has its fun too - with nods to Indiana Jones, Jaws and Star Wars. One standout moment echoes the original film's kitchen raptor scene - but in a modern convenience store. The creature work is stunning. A sleepy T-Rex by a riverbank. A Mosasaurus twisting through water. And a slow, beautiful scene of two Titanosaurus wrapping their necks as John Williams' iconic score plays. It's all striking, sometimes even moving, Variety reported. FAQs Q1.

Michael Jackson Biopic Michael Gets New Release Date After Reshoots and Legal Changes, Details Inside

The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic titled 'Michael' will now hit theaters worldwide, including IMAX, on April 24, 2026, Lionsgate and Universal Pictures confirmed. Originally scheduled for October 3, 2025, the film was previously announced for an April 18, 2025, release before undergoing multiple changes. Lionsgate will distribute the film domestically in the U.S., while Universal Pictures will handle the international release, excluding Japan, where Kino Films will release the movie, as reported by Variety. Why was the Michael Jackson biopic delayed? According to reports, the delay was primarily caused by reshoots and the need to edit content tied to legal sensitivities. The production had originally included references to Jordan Chandler, the 13-year-old who accused Jackson of molestation in 1993. The pop icon settled the case out of court in 1994 without admitting guilt. Though the screenplay by John Logan was approved by Jackson's estate and shot with Chandler's role, the filmmakers were later informed that Chandler could not be included, leading to reshoots and script changes after production wrapped in May 2024. Additionally, the first cut of the film ran over 3.5 hours, prompting internal discussions about trimming the runtime and possibly releasing the biopic in two parts to make it more accessible to audiences. Here's what we know about the team behind the film Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film stars Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson's real-life nephew, in the lead role. Fuqua is best known for Training Day, while Oscar-winning producer Graham King, who delivered the global hit Bohemian Rhapsody, is producing. The screenplay is written by John Logan, a three-time Oscar nominee with credits like Gladiator and The Aviator. The cast includes: Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson Nia Long as Katherine Jackson Miles Teller as John Branca Larenz Tate as Berry Gordy Laura Harrier as Suzanne de Passe Kat Graham as Diana Ross Jessica Sula as La Toya Jackson Liv Symone as Gladys Knight Kendrick Sampson as Quincy Jones Kevin Shinick as Dick Clark KeiLyn Durrel Jones as Bill Bray

'The Osbournes' changed Ozzy's image from grisly to cuddly, and changed reality TV

In 2025, when virtually every variety of celebrity has had a reality show, it's hard to see what a novelty the series was. MTV sold it as television's first 'reality sitcom.' read more There was Ozzy before 'The Osbournes' and Ozzy after 'The Osbournes.' For much of his life, the Black Sabbath founder and legendary heavy metal frontman who died at 76 on Tuesday was known to much of the public as a dark purveyor of deeds ranging from decadent to downright Satanic. Wild stories followed him. Clergy condemned him. Parents sued him. But with the debut of his family reality show on MTV, the world learned what those who'd been paying closer attention already knew: Ozzy Osbourne was soft and fuzzy under the darkness. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD During its relatively short run from 2002 to 2005, 'The Osbournes' became a runaway hit and made stars of his wife Sharon and kids Jack and Kelly. But more than that, it made a star of the domesticated version of Ozzy Osbourne, and in the process changed reality TV. In 2025, when virtually every variety of celebrity has had a reality show, it's hard to see what a novelty the series was. MTV sold it as television's first 'reality sitcom.' 'Just the idea of the Black Sabbath founder, who will forever be known for biting the head off a bat during a 1982 concert, as a family man seems strange,' Associated Press Media Writer David Bauder wrote on the eve of 'The Osbournes' premiere. But on the show, Osbourne was 'sweetly funny — and under everything a lot like the put-upon dads you've been seeing in television sitcoms for generations.' Danny Deraney, a publicist who worked with Osbourne and was a lifelong fan, said of the show, 'You saw some guy who was curious. You saw some guy who was being funny. You just saw pretty much the real thing.' 'He's not the guy that everyone associates with the 'Prince of Darkness' and all this craziness,' Deraney said. 'And people loved him. He became so affable to so many people because of that show. As metal fans, we knew it. We knew that's who he was. But now everyone knew.' Reality shows at the time, especially the popular competition shows like 'Survivor,' thrived on heightened circumstances. For 'The Osbournes,' no stakes were too low. They sat on the couch. They ate dinner. The now-sober Ozzy sipped Diet Cokes, and urged his kids not to indulge in alcohol or drugs when they went out. He struggled to find the History Channel on his satellite TV. They feuded with the neighbors because, of all things, their loud music was driving the Osbournes crazy. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'You were seeing this really fascinating, appealing, bizarre tension between the public persona of a celebrity and their mundane experiences at home,' said Kathryn VanArendonk, a critic for Vulture and New York Magazine. The sitcom tone was apparent from its first moments. 'You turn on this show and you get this like little jazzy cover theme song of the song 'Crazy Train,' and there's all these bright colors and fancy editing, and we just got to see this like totally 180-degree different side of Ozzy which was just surprising and incredible to watch,' said Nick Caruso, staff editor at TVLine. Like family sitcoms, the affection its leads clearly had for each other was essential to its appeal. 'For some reason, we kind of just fell in love with them the same way that we grew to love Ozzy and Sharon as like a marital unit,' Caruso said. What was maybe strangest about the show was how not-strange it felt. The two Ozzies seemed seamless rather than contradictory. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'You're realizing that these things are personas and that all personas are these like elaborate complex mosaics of like who a person is,' VanArendonk said. 'The Osbournes' had both an immediate and a long-term affect on the genre. Both Caruso and VanArendonk said shows like 'Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica,' which followed then-pop stars Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey after they married, was clearly a descendant. And countless other shows felt its influence, from 'The Kardashians' to 'The Baldwins' — the recently debuted reality series on Alec Baldwin, his wife Hilaria and their seven kids. ''The Baldwins' as a reality show is explicitly modeled on 'The Osbournes,' VanArendonk said. 'It's like you have these famous people and now you get to see what their home lives are like, what they are like as parents, what they're eating, what they are taking on with them on vacation, who their pets are, and they are these sort of cuddly, warm, eccentric figures.'

Top Hollywood Films of 2025 in India: Mission Impossible 8 leads Mission Impossible- The Final Reckoning, directed by Christopher Macquarie, stormed over Rs 113.50 crore gross in India in its entire run. The Tom Cruise starrer is currently ruling the charts. Interestingly, Brad Pitt's F1 and Scarlett Johansson's Jurassic World Rebirth have crossed the Rs 100 crore mark today and are engaged in a neck-to-neck battle to take the second spot after the Tom Cruise movie. Currently standing at Rs 101.80 crore gross, the Joseph Kosinski-directed sports drama will likely wrap its theatrical run around Rs 110 crore, securing the second spot. While the dinosaur thriller is expected to wind up its entire run around Rs 107 crore, bagging the third spot in the list. It must be noted that Jurassic World: Rebirth currently holds the third spot with Rs 101.1 crore. However, if we include the 3D charges too, it will claim the first spot with a staggering total of Rs 114 crore, beating Mission Impossible 8. The next two spots belong to Final Destination: Bloodlines and Superman. While the former clocked over Rs 75 crore gross in India and emerged a successful venture, the latter underperformed. Directed by James Gunn, Superman currently stands at Rs 50.50 crore gross and is expected to wind up its lifetime run at Rs 55 crore gross in India, which means the movie will end up securing the fifth spot. Though Superman didn't perform to its full potential, it still managed to get a successful verdict at the box office. Had it opened with superlative box office, the David Corenswet starrer would have entered the Rs 100 crore club.
