From Messi to Auckland City, magic shining through Club World Cup issues

The Club World Cup 's various problems have been well documented, from empty seats to storm delays, extreme heat to complaints about FIFA's expanded competition being a cash grab at the expense of the players' long-term health. However, with the right ingredients slow-cooking in the United States summer sun, there has also been plenty to enjoy about the tournament so far. Several stars are getting their encore moments, including Inter Miami 's cast of ageing former Barcelona greats, led by Lionel Messi . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This New AC Cooler Cools the Room In Seconds Sherum Learn More Undo Now 38, Messi helped the Major League Soccer side make the last 16 against the odds, which coach Javier Mascherano said was "historic". Messi's mere presence still provokes intense reactions, including from a young boy in an Argentina shirt at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in tears before the new NBA-style walk-outs, overcome at the prospect of seeing his hero live. Live Events He delivered, too, whipping a superb free-kick into the top corner to earn Miami a shock victory over Porto. "I'm a Messi fan, he's still one of the best players in the world -- that Porto game we weren't supposed to win," said Yemi Obono, a 34-year-old tech product manager who lives in Atlanta. He and many others will get another chance to see the forward when Inter Miami face European champions Paris Saint-Germain in Georgia again this weekend in the last 16. "(Watching Messi) was like a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me... I hope I can go on Sunday and see him again," added Obono. "I'm happy -- at first I wasn't happy we came second (in the group)." Messi's reunion with PSG is one of many narratives to catch the eye. With clubs taking the competition seriously, not least because of the total of $1 billion in prize money on offer, these matches feel "canon", unlike pre-season friendly tours. "I'm pretty sure for the South American teams, for the Brazilian teams, for Argentinian teams, this competition is maybe the maximum," said Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, who hailed the passion of the South American fans in particular. "People are surprised (when) European teams lose," added Guardiola. "Welcome to the real world my friends." Botafogo stunned PSG in the group stage with a 1-0 win, Chelsea suffered a stinging 3-1 defeat by another Brazilian side in Flamengo, and Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid were eliminated early. The group stage has offered some of the tension the revamped UEFA Champions League first round lacked. The Club World Cup has also offered a first look at Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid project, and new signings like Los Blancos duo Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, Chelsea's Liam Delap and several Manchester City arrivals. Coaches including Bayern's Vincent Kompany have appreciated the extra time they have to work in depth with players, swallowed up in the season by recovery sessions amid the packed calendar. '99 percent' The tournament has been an opportunity to celebrate teams who rarely get to enjoy the global spotlight. While some mocked New Zealand amateurs Auckland City after their opening 10-0 defeat by Bayern Munich , it highlighted how impressive their 1-1 draw against Boca Juniors was in their final game. "We're representing 99 percent of club teams in world football who are amateurs... we all have day jobs," said vice-captain Adam Mitchell. Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds ' fans went toe-to-toe with their River Plate counterparts in creating a superb atmosphere, which is no mean feat. Although River and Argentine rivals Boca were eliminated, their passionate supporters helped bring the tournament to life. Even if stadiums are not full, the fans who are there are bringing the noise -- and the average attendance is higher than for La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 last season. Brazilian clubs have flexed their muscles, with all four reaching the last 16, surprising those who thought the gap to Europe's elite was too great. With the likes of PSG, City, Real and Bayern looking to go deep, some impending blockbuster clashes may yet win over those resistant to the spectacle. The Club World Cup is a tournament in its infancy, with room to improve, but is already showing it has more heart than some expected.

Scarlett Johansson teases progress on 'Tower of Terror' film

Actress Scarlett Johansson recently shared new details about the ongoing development of her 'Tower of Terror' film project, revealing the creative challenges behind adapting Disney's beloved theme park ride into a compelling movie narrative. Actress Scarlett Johansson recently shared new details about the ongoing development of her 'Tower of Terror' film project, revealing the creative challenges behind adapting Disney 's beloved theme park ride into a compelling movie narrative. The project, which Johansson is producing, was first announced in 2021 when Deadline confirmed that the actress would bring the spooky Disney World attraction to life. Written by Josh Cooley, the film has had a long development timeline, but Johansson is optimistic about its progress despite the difficulties involved. As per Deadline, in an interview, Johansson admitted that the project had proven more complicated than expected. "It's a hard nut to crack," she said, adding, "Harder than you think, because the ride itself, there's some lore to it, but it's... I don't want to say thin, but it is, kind of!" The Tower of Terror ride, which opened in 1994 at Disney World, is based on The Twilight Zone TV series created by Rod Serling . The attraction revolves around five guests trapped in the eerie Hollywood Tower Hotel, who take an elevator ride that sends them into the unknown when lightning strikes the building, as per Deadline. Despite the Tower of Terror's cult status as a popular theme park experience, Johansson explained that there was limited narrative material to draw from for a feature-length film. "It doesn't have so much to dig into," Johansson said of the ride's storyline, noting that the brief plot is more suited to its thematic park experience rather than a full-length movie. She said, "That's part of the mystery of the ride," acknowledging the challenge of expanding the attraction's concept into a story that could resonate on the big screen. While the Tower of Terror ride had a 1997 film adaptation starring Kirsten Dunst , the movie, written and directed by DJ MacHale, did not share any connection with The Twilight Zone. The film followed a journalist (played by Steve Guttenberg) who investigates the mysterious disappearance of five people in 1939, a storyline loosely based on the attraction. Filmed largely at the actual ride location, the movie was Disney's first attempt to adapt one of its theme park attractions, but it received mixed reviews and never reached the same level of cultural impact as the ride itself. Johansson reflected on the challenges of adapting a ride with minimal backstory, calling the project a "blue sky" endeavour. "It's been a fun project to work on, because it's a blue sky project," she said, referring to the freedom of creating something from scratch. She added, "It has also proved to be a hard nut to crack. But, we'll crack the case of it. It's taking shape!" as quoted by Deadline.
