The official Tron: Ares trailer riffs on big tech and features a returning Jeff Bridges
There's finally a full trailer for Tron: Ares , the third installment in the decades-long sci-fi franchise. This comes after a teaser dropped a few months back and over two years after the film was first announced. The new footage is pretty cool, and gets into the meat of this threequel. It's a riff on AI and big tech, as corporate entities look to weaponize the digital creations of The Grid and bring them to the real world. This does not go well, as evidenced by shots of iconic franchise Recognizer ships careening down city streets. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. It also features Jeff Bridges, returning as computer programmer Kevin Flynn. Bridges is the only actor who will have appeared in all three Tron films. The star of this new one, however, is the scandal-plagued Jared Leto, who plays a soldier from The Grid who has traveled to the real world on some kind of mission. Hasan Minhaj, Gillian Anderson, Greta Lee and Evan Peters are also in the movie. Tron: Ares is directed by Joachim Rønning, who is something of a Disney hired gun. He made Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil , among other films for the company. I really have no idea what to make of this movie, even if the footage looks pretty nifty. I love the original and like the sequel well enough. One thing I'm happy about is the continued dedication to atmosphere-soaked soundtracks. The first film featured an iconic score by Wendy Carlos and the folks behind Tron: Legacy hired Daft Punk to make the music. The new movie includes a soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails. The band released the first single today, likely to coincide with the trailer, and it definitely nails the vibe. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

Pirates of the Caribbean Producer Confirms Returning Cast
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors It's been eight years since "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales", and the sixth movie has been in development ever since. Now, thanks to an interview with ScreenRant, we know a little bit more about the long-brewing sequel. According to "Pirates" producer Jerry Bruckheimer, "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" will be a new take on the franchise, but it will also bring back some of the fan-favorite cast. Bruckheimer was mum about who exactly is coming back, however. Read More: 'Star Trek' Icon Teases Possible 'Spaceballs 2' Return Asked about "Pirates 6" while promoting the upcoming "F1", Bruckheimer told ScreenRant, "We're working on a screenplay. Hopefully we'll get it right — and then we'll make it. We really want to make it, that's for sure." Asked if it would be a continuation or not, Bruckheimer answered, "It'll be a new take on it." "New take, new actors?" the interviewer asked. Bruckheimer responded, "Well, not all new actors. We'll have some back ... I'm not going to tell you which ones — you'll have to guess." Bruckheimer's words on the subject seem to confirm that while "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" will be a "new take" on the franchise, it won't completely reboot the story considering some of the same actors are returning. A wealth of actors have jumped in and out of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise since the 2003 debut of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", but no doubt there are three actors in particular most fans are wondering about: Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Johnny Depp. Bloom himself recently commented on the possibility of returning to the franchise and seemed to like the idea of all three coming back. "Well, I don't know, I can't say anything at the moment because I really don't know, but there's definitely availability," Bloom said. "I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like, I personally think it'd be great to get the band back together. That would be great, but there are always different ideas, and so we'll see where it lands." Regardless of where it lands there is no doubt plenty of interest in seeing a new "Pirates of the Caribbean" on the big screen. The five previous movies pulled in a total of $4.5 billion at the box office.

The most epic celebrity hotel trashing stories
In the glittering world of celebrity, where opulence and extravagance are often the norm, the homes and rentals of the rich and famous are expected to be nothing short of spectacular. Yet, behind the closed doors of these luxurious abodes, tales of excess and mayhem sometimes unfold, leaving a trail of destruction that even the most seasoned property managers struggle to contain. From rock stars to pop icons, the list of celebrities who have left their mark – quite literally –on their residences is as intriguing as it is infamous. Here are some of the world's biggest names who have turned their temporary homes into scenes of chaos. Johnny Depp Known for his extravagant lifestyle, Depp has faced a number of legal battles over damages to properties, including a well-publicised incident involving a rented mansion on the Gold Coast. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor 'accidentally' headbutted his ex-wife Amber Heard and painted the words 'I love U' in blood with his severed finger on a mirror a bombshell trial in London's High Court revealed. The total damage to the Coomera, Gold Coast mansion he'd rented off motorcycle champ Mick Doohan during the three-day 'ordeal of assaults' on Heard in March 2015 was $150,000, the court heard. MORE NEWS Insane amount celebs spend on Aussie homes Australia's secretive religious groups exposed Hugh Jackman lists penthouse amid messy divorce He stayed at the property while filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales which was filmed on the Gold Coast. In 1994, Depp reportedly got into a fight with then-girlfriend Kate Moss and caused $US10,000 in room damages at The Mark hotel in New York. Depp attributed the wreckage to an armadillo that popped out of the closet. Said armadillo was never found. Depp was arrested on felony criminal-mischief charges, and billed $9767 for the damages. Justin Bieber The pop star has been involved in several controversies over the years. In 2014, Bieber was forced to pay a neighbour US$80,000 after he was proved to have thrown eggs from his own home in Calabasas. A year later, Bieber found himself in trouble again after the Beverly Hills home he'd rented was trashed during a party. The 23-year-old star's bash was attended by a host of big-name musicians, including Nicki Minaj, French Montana and Chris Brown, but it was the damage caused to the property which ultimately stole the headlines and further damaged Bieber's reputation among local residents. MORE NEWS: Aus's worst neighbours exposed Britney Spears Female musicians have also had an appetite for destruction. Britney Spears was temporarily booted from the usually tolerant Chateau Marmont in 2007. Her crime? Reportedly smearing food on her face and grossing out other patrons in the hotel's restaurant. That same year, she was reportedly deemed persona non grata at the Los Angeles Four Seasons after smoking cigarettes indoors and, way worse, allowing her pooping puppies to foul one of the hotel's posh suites. While her status in LA is unclear, Four Seasons branches in Budapest and Buenos Aires have since welcomed the pop star. MORE NEWS: Scottish island listed for fraction of Aus home Courtney Love Love left an equally not-so-nice surprise for the clean-up staff after a brief stay at the genteel Inn on Irving Place in Manhattan in 2009. Commenting on the dirty needles and used feminine-hygiene products littering her vacated room, a source told The Post, 'She caused so much damage in eight hours and wreaked so much havoc. It was actually kind of funny.' Florence Welch A few years later, Florence Welch, lead singer of Florence and the Machine, accidentally set her New York City hotel room on fire after a night of drinking with Kanye West and Lykke Li. She chipped a front tooth, and woke up to find her Bowery Hotel room singed and blackened from an errant 'cinnamon tea light.' The reason? 'I think I must have had about 17 dirty martinis,' she told Q Magazine in 2012. MORE NEWS: 'It's a choice': Buyer shock over bathroom feature Charlie Sheen Known for his tumultuous lifestyle, Sheen has been reported to have caused significant damage to hotel rooms and rental properties during his more turbulent years. In late October 2010, Charlie Sheen was reportedly hospitalised after allegedly trashing his hotel room at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Reports indicated he was intoxicated and possibly had an adverse allergic reaction to medication. There were claims of furniture being thrown, a chandelier damaged, and a prostitute hiding in the closet. Sheen's representatives stated the incident was overblown and attributed it to an allergic reaction. The hotel reportedly sustained $7000 in damages but did not press charges. Lindsay Lohan Judging by her Rolling Stones-worthy hotel destruction, Lindsay Lohan might be more of a rocker than the pair of albums she released in 2004 and 2005 would lead one to believe. In 2012, she threw a birthday bash at the W Hotel in Union Square. The party allegedly resulted in $US50,000 worth of damage. Hotel employees reportedly spent months getting the room back to habitable condition. Rod Stewart It took 40 years, but Rod Stewart was eventually allowed back into a Holiday Inn. Back in Stewart's 1970s heyday as a hellraising rocker, the rooster-haired vocalist had a habit of throwing wild, groupie-populated parties. After what must have been a particularly debauched bash, or else the result of multiple destructive visits, the hotel chain slapped Stewart with a lifetime ban in 1976. 'We'd empty rooms, stick furniture in the lift and send it to the lobby,' Stewart told The Sun newspaper in London. 'I once got a 7000-pound bill.' Amanda Bynes In 2014, word spread that Bynes and her parents were asked to pay for property damages after the actress' roommates alleged that they 'trashed' the apartment. The then 28-year-old actress, who was living with three girls in West Hollywood, including one of her hair stylist, went wild at times and burnt cigarette holes in the carpets, splashed blue hair dye on the carpets and porcelain sinks among other things. The mother of one of the girls signed the lease, and she contacted the American actress' parents and demanded $1500 dollars to repair the damage. However, Rick and Lynn Bynes reportedly refused to pay, saying the women knew their daughter was unstable when they allowed her to stay against their wishes, so they felt they had taken on the risk. Only a year earlier, the actress reportedly left pools of grime, rubbish and ash behind after she was asked to leave the Ritz Carlton following a nine day stay at the New York venue. According to TMZ, guests had complained about her smoking and alleged drug use and for being rude to staff. Pictures emerged shortly afterwards of the room's poor state with food, beauty products, linen and cigarette ash strewn about. Chris Brown In 2016, Chris Brown was accused of causing significant damage to a rented luxury apartment in Ibiza, including vomit, urine and knife marks. The landlord claimed the singer caused $80,000 worth of damage, but Brown denied the accusations, posting video evidence of a seemingly clean apartment. During a tour of the house, which Chris claims was recorded 10 minutes before they left for the airport, he states: 'They doing some janky business', before showing the clean rooms. One shot shows some dents in a wall from a chair, which he says will just need 'a little sheet rock, at most $60.' He concluded the rant with: 'I don't have the benefit of the doubt… we didn't tear the house up, f**k you.' Axl Rose The Guns N' Roses frontman has been known for his rockstar antics, which have occasionally resulted in damage to hotel rooms and rental properties. In June 2006, Axl Rose, the lead singer of Guns N' Roses, was arrested in Stockholm, Sweden, for allegedly damaging a hotel room and assaulting a security guard. He was reportedly intoxicated at the time and was detained until he sobered up. The incident involved an argument with a hotel employee, a scuffle with a security guard, and minor damage to the hotel's interior. Sam and Lara Worthington A NYC landlord has accused Aussie power couple Sam and Lara Worthington of trashing their sublet and wrecking a $115K Charles Gwathmey table — for the second time. It's a precious table, designed by the late Modernist architect Charles Gwathmey, valued at Gwathmey's stepson, Eric Steel, who rents out the unit for around $30,000 a month is allegedly refusing to return the security deposit to his most recent subletters, claiming the Worthingtons wrecked the trophy table and trashed the loft. He is demanding payment of $300,000. The dispute is oddly similar to one from a decade ago, when Steel sued a previous high-profile subtenant, media mogul Arianna Huffington, whom he accused of wrecking the very same table and trashing the place. Tori Spelling Vagabond Tori Spelling has also been accused of trashing her latest $15,000-a-month rental home on the way out. Neighbours were outraged by the mess the Beverly Hills 90210 alum left in her wake, after she moved out the contemporary 3000 square-foot, two-story, five-bedroom, three-bath home with pool and spa that she had rented for seven months in the upscale Woodland Hills suburb of Los Angeles in 2024. The remodelled rental home came fully furnished when Spelling and her five children took residence in the beginning of last year. But exclusive photos show piles of discarded furniture, cushions, other household items from the property strewn across the otherwise well-kept residential street later that year. Some of the furnishings, such as a taupe sectional sofa that had been pictured in real estate images of the property could be seen ripped and soiled out on the street ready for pick up by waste management. There were also pet carriers, a random DVD video, kids toys, and more.

Orlando Bloom expresses optimism about potential return to Pirates of the Caribbean franchise
Nearly a decade after Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales premiered, speculation about the future of the beloved Disney franchise continues to grow. With two new films reportedly in development and rumors swirling about a possible reconciliation between Disney and Johnny Depp, longtime fans are eager to see familiar faces return — including Orlando Bloom. Appearing on ITV's This Morning to promote his upcoming film Deep Cover, Bloom was asked about potentially reprising his role as Will Turner. While remaining cautious, he appeared open to the idea, saying, 'Well, I don't know, I can't say anything at the moment because I really don't know, but there's definitely availability.' He added, 'I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like. I personally think it'd be great to get the band back together.' Bloom was a central figure in the original trilogy but stepped away from the franchise after 2007's At World's End, only returning for a brief post-credits appearance in Dead Men Tell No Tales. Though his cameo — alongside co-stars Keira Knightley and Bill Nighy — hinted at a potential reunion, the series was soon derailed by legal and public controversies surrounding Johnny Depp. Franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer previously confirmed to Collider that two scripts are in development. One is being written by Rush Hour and Catch Me If You Can screenwriter Jeff Nathanson. 'We have another one… We have two, and we don't know who's gonna win the horse race at this point,' Bruckheimer stated. With Bloom expressing enthusiasm and developments underway, the possibility of a revived Pirates ensemble remains afloat.
