Steven Spielberg unveils intense new film footage during Universal's theater tribute
Steven Spielberg was the guest of honour at Universal Studios on Thursday night, where the studio officially named its new, state-of-the-art screening room after the legendary director. The event brought out a star-studded crowd including the Daniels, Seth Rogen, Ava DuVernay, Colman Domingo, and Vin Diesel. Taking the stage at the emotional gathering, Spielberg, 77, reflected on his decades-long relationship with the studio - from directing his first project Duel in 1971 to recent releases like The Fabelmans. 'It feels like we keep getting remarried,' he joked. 'But tonight is definitely a milestone.' As if to prove he's far from slowing down, Spielberg also gave guests an exclusive first look at behind-the-scenes footage from his mysterious upcoming film, slated for release in 2026. While plot details remain under wraps, the cast includes Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson, and Colin Firth. The preview teased high-stakes action: Blunt's character flees ominous black vehicles, a harrowing train collision unfolds, and Firth appears to be a shadowy figure pulling strings from what looks like a high-tech command centre. Although Spielberg hasn't confirmed the film's theme, the chase sequences, underground labs, and eerie suspense suggest a sci-fi edge, possibly even the long-rumoured UFO plot. NBCUniversal's Donna Langley and Comcast's top brass hosted the ceremony, describing the new 'Spielberg Theater' as the heart of their expanded film campus. Fitted with Dolby Vision and Atmos tech, as well as 35mm and 70mm projectors, the venue will be used by future directors to perfect their cuts, a detail not lost on Spielberg. 'This isn't just my past,' he said. 'It's about tomorrow's storytellers too.'

2026 Toyota Corolla Cross price, spec details leaked
Key details of the updated 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross lineup, including pricing, has been leaked online. A dealer bulletin shared on the Toyota Corolla Cross Owners Australia group on Facebook reveals the entire lineup will receive a $960 price hike, while also detailing some of the spec changes coming to the small crossover SUV. Toyota has previously confirmed a local launch for the upgraded small SUV in the second half of 2025. We've contacted the company for an update. Per the bulletin, the Corolla Cross will arrive at dealerships in late July in both GX and Atmos trims, with the GXL and new GR-S trim (pictured below) arriving in early October. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The bulletin mentions 'production delays due to pending certification' for the GXL and GR-S, which were originally set to arrive alongside the rest of the range. The updated lineup will open at $37,440 before on-road costs for the base front-wheel drive GX, and top out at $50,990 before on-roads for both the all-wheel drive Atmos and GR-S. All variants get HF01234YF refrigerant for their air-conditioning systems and an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) to alert passersby to the hybrid SUV's presence. The front and rear Parking Support Brake function, which applies the brakes if it detects an object or vehicle and which was previously exclusive to the Atmos, is being rolled out to the GX and GXL. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The GXL also picks up the following features from the Atmos: Rain-sensing wipers Surround-view camera Snow drive mode (all-wheel drive model only) Wireless phone charger Heated front seats The Atmos gains ventilated front seats. There's also updated centre console trim for the GX, GXL and Atmos. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The new GR-S (or GR Sport) variant revealed in May features unique front and rear bumpers, as well as lower sports suspension, retuned steering, and unique 19-inch alloy wheels. Ever since petrol-powered variants were dropped locally in 2024, all Australian-market Corolla Cross vehicles come with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder hybrid powertrain delivering 146kW of total system power. The wider range receives refreshed exterior styling including new LED headlight internals for the GXL and Atmos. Toyota may be the best-selling car brand in Australia by a country mile, but the Corolla Cross was only the seventh best-selling vehicle in its segment last year, behind the MG ZS, Hyundai Kona, GWM Haval Jolion, Mazda CX-30, Mitsubishi ASX and Subaru Crosstrek.

NZ-NASA Partnership Launches Five New Projects
Minister for Science, Innovation, and Technology Hon Judith Collins KC Minister for Space Science, Innovation and Technology Minister Dr Shane Reti and Space Minister Judith Collins have today announced that in partnership with the US, the Government is investing $5.6 million to support five new joint NZ-NASA research projects in the field of Earth observation. Researchers from New Zealand and NASA will work in partnership to tackle challenges such as disaster resilience and environmental management over the next three years. 'These projects will combine some of New Zealand's best research talent with NASA's world-leading scientific expertise and technology, driving innovation in space science and environmental monitoring,' Dr Reti says. 'Advancing Earth observation science helps us better understand our natural environment and enables us to manage our natural resources more effectively. For example, we can use satellite data and AI algorithms to accurately measure water movements, which helps manage freshwater and mitigate floods. 'These projects will create a more resilient economy and drive productivity in some of our most valuable export industries, such as forestry and agriculture. They will also grow our science and innovation sector by positioning us in global growth markets such as remote sensing,' Dr Reti says. 'The US is an indispensable space cooperation partner for New Zealand and our engagement with NASA is a key part of our bilateral relationship. These projects will further entrench our ongoing and positive relationship with NASA,' Ms Collins says. 'NASA will contribute Earth observation satellite data, access to advanced tools and technology, as well as approximately $1.9 million in direct staff time and expertise. The projects are the second stage of the NZ–NASA research partnership through the Catalyst Fund, following an earlier round of feasibility studies. The selected projects span a range of high-impact areas: Te Mātai Pū o te Kea – High Altitude Coastal Remote Sensing – advances remote-sensing technology using Kea's Atmos high-altitude uncrewed aircraft. Satellite Multi-Scale Hydrologic Framework for Te Hiku ō Te Ika Wairere Ngahere – develops tools to measure terrestrial water flux via satellite data. Monitoring Vegetation–Geothermal Interactions from Space and Airborne Platforms – Integrates multiple Earth observation data streams to measure chemical and physical changes via vegetation. Near Real-Time Fuel Moisture System for Wildfire and Drought – builds a predictive fire model using remote sensing. Integrating Machine Learning and Remote Sensing for Dynamic Forest Mapping – develops predictive forest mapping using satellite imagery.
