ON STAGE Will Premiere at Specially-Built Venue in London

ON STAGE Will Premiere at Specially-Built Venue in London

Published by skeptic

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. THE HUNGER GAMES: ON STAGE Will Premiere at Specially-Built Venue in London It looks like the IP-machine behind The Hunger Games took notice at how well Harry Potter and the Cursed Child done as a massive theatrical production. The Hunger Games: On Stage looks to be an equally staggering production, with a headline-grabbing bespoke new theater purpose built for it. Judging from the promo video, much of that bespokeness is to accommodate full-theater aerial stunts and action. Makes me wonder how/if a traveling production would be managed if this proves popular. 2025 Winners of the Newbery, Caldecott, King, Belpre & More Awards from the American Library Association The American Library Association administers the two most prestigioius awards in children’s books, The Newberry Medal (for children’s literature) and The Caldecott Medal (for picture books).

‘Squid Game’ Arrives in L.A. With (Literal) Race for Premiere Tickets

Published by skeptic

Netflix is not holding back when it comes to the return of Squid Game, the streamer’s biggest show of all time, as it held an immersive premiere and fan event in Los Angeles on Thursday. Los Angeles City College’s athletic field was converted into a recreation of the games, featuring the iconic “Red Light, Green Light” (with accompanying giant doll), set-inspired photo opps and a seemingly endless number of pink guards wandering the premises. The night’s biggest component, though, was a nearly 5k run, as hundreds of fans — outfitted in the show’s green tracksuits — attempted to win tickets to the night’s premiere screening by correctly completing challenges along the route. “I can’t believe I’m watching this moment,” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk told the crowd as he overlooked the sea of costumed guests. “Thank you for coming to the event and celebrating Squid Game season two together. You guys are my best Christmas gift.” Star Lee Jung-jae added, “We are excited for you all to see season two, and hope many of you will get to …

‘I’ve made a whole record about her’: Lady Gaga still thinking about Harley Quinn at Joker sequel premiere | Ents & Arts News

Published by skeptic

Lady Gaga has admitted she has struggled to let go of playing her version of the infamous comic book character Harley Quinn in the new Joker sequel. Speaking to Sky News at the UK premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux, she admitted: “I don’t really know if I did because I’ve made a whole record about her.” As cinemagoers prepare to see the Oscar-winning actress star as the “true love” to Joaquin Phoenix‘s Joker, the Poker Face singer announced she’s releasing a 13-song companion album to the film. “I think the whole experience inspired me through and through,” Lady Gaga admitted. “It was so amazing to get to know this character through music, through the script, through dance, through all this tremendous collaboration.” After 2019’s Joker won two Oscars and made over $1bn worldwide at the box office, filmmaker Todd Phillips and his leading man set out – in reprising the troubled dual personality of Arthur Fleck/Joker – to take a different approach.

Kia teases production EV3 images ahead of global premiere

Kia teases production EV3 images ahead of global premiere

Published by skeptic

Kia has just posted some teaser images of its upcoming EV3 SUV – its latest all-electric model promising to be smaller, more affordable, and more “plant-based” than its current siblings in the “EV” portfolio. To mark the occasion, Kia has also shared the date and time for the global premiere of the new EV3, which will take place later this month. If you’re reading the headline above and thinking, “Wait, I’ve already seen images of the Kia EV3 plenty of times,” you’re only half correct. We’ve been covering scattered details of Kia’s plans for a new compact SUV called the EV3 since the fall of 2023, when we learned its interior will feature plant-derived materials, including a center console made from mushrooms. We even snapped some pics of it on display during the LA Auto Show. However, that was the EV3 concept sitting beside a conceptual design version of another potential model to follow, the EV4. Aside from the Concept, we’ve only seen camouflaged images of the Kia EV3 testing in Korea. Since then, we …
