The iconic Japanese studio is responsible for the creation of the King of Monsters himself, and also other related kaiju characters like Rodan, Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla. The first movie on the character directed by Ishirō Honda, called 'Godzilla', was released by Toho in 1954. The announcement was made on Toho's Twitter handle. The tweet also shared the film's release date, which is not far. The film will hit theatres on November 3, 2023, exactly one year from today. Takashi Yamazaki is all set to direct the film.

<p>Former Miss Barbados Leilani McConne, who took part in the Miss World 2000 beauty pageant, has claimed that the event was rigged in Priyanka Chopra's favour. Chopra, then 18, went on to win the pageant held at the Millennium Dome in London, United Kingdom. McConne spoke about the pageant after controversy arose regarding Miss USA 2022. Miss Texas USA R'Bonney Gabriel won the title but Miss Montana USA Heather Lee O'Keefe and Miss Georgia USA Holly Haynes alleged that the competition was rigged in her favour. Gabriel has refuted the claims. McConne&nbsp;shared a video on YouTube, and claimed that she "literally went through the same thing at Miss World."</p>

<p>"Me, I went through that," she said. Priyanka's co-contestant added that the Bollywood star, who has also been a part of many Hollywood projects, won because of favouritism, and that she was not likeable.</p>

<p>“So, I was Miss Barbados and I went to Miss World, and the year I went, Miss India won. Mind you, Miss India had won the previous year," she said. Yukta Mookhey had won the Miss World pageant the previous year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>McConne also said on to say that Priyanka was using a skin tone cream and that her skin was splotchy. "I did not say it was a bleaching cream, it was a skin tone cream. It didn't work, her skin was blotchy so she did not want to remove her sarong. So during the actual judgement, she is actually in a dress," she went on.</p>

<p>"And she is Meghan Markle's best friend so go figure," McConne added.</p>

<p>Leilani McConne's disgruntlement with Priyanka is not surprising. While PeeCee used her Miss World title to build a successful career in Bollywood and more recently Hollywood, McConne does not appear to have progressed much in terms of her professional career.</p>

<p>It appears a direct sequel to British Oscar-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle's iconic zombie thriller '28 Days Later' is in development. While there was a follow-up movie called '28 Weeks Later', directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, it followed different characters. The film celebrated the 20th anniversary of its release on November 1 and on the occasion, Boyle and Cillian Murphy, the film's star, teased plans for a sequel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Murphy told NME, "Every time I do bump into Danny or Alex I always mention it. Because I showed it to my kids recently, some Halloween about four or five years ago, and they loved it. It really stands up, which is amazing for a film that’s 20 years old. So yeah, I love the idea and it’s very appealing to me.”</p>

<p>Like other zombie films, '28 Days Later' featured a world torn apart by a zombie apocalypse. Murphy starred as a London man who wakes up from a coma in a world overrun by zombies.&nbsp;</p>

The jury was split 11-1 with more in favour of acquitting Morgan, who was accused of stealing $222,480 in cash from Lee.

<p>A new trailer for 'Avatar The Way of Water' is here. James Cameron's much-awaited sequel to 2009's 'Avatar' will bring you back to Pandora. The original was a big step up for computer-generated visuals that outdid anything else that had come before in photorealism, but 'The Way of Water' may even be a bigger visual upgrade over its contemporaries. The film brings a majority of the original's cast and adds big names. In the first film, Sam Worthington's Jake Sully chose to join the Na'vi and fought with them against the rapacious humans who had come to Pandora, an Earth-like habitable extrasolar moon from the Alpha Centauri System.</p>

<p>A court on Tuesday ruled that negligence and other charges against actor-producer Alec Baldwin can be pursued by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell. On October 21, 2021, Baldwin fired a loaded gun on the New Mexico set of 'Rust' movie in Bonanza City, New Mexico near Santa Fe that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured writer-director Joel Souza. The gun was a prop and Baldwin was told it was "cold" (without ammunition). As per Deadline, Baldwin had filed a motion in Los Angeles Superior Court to remove himself from the lawsuit filed in November last year by Mitchell, who was present at the spot when the tragic incident occurred.</p>

<p>Canadian screenwriter, producer, and director Paul Haggis is set to testify on Wednesday (November 2) in a civil sexual assault case in New York, reported Deadline. Haggis was one of those men in Hollywood and other fields who were accused of rape, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct during the #MeToo movement. A woman called Haleigh Breest filed a lawsuit against him in December 2017, as per Variety. In response, Haggis denied all accusations and filed a counter-suit, and said Breest was trying to get a $9 million settlement from him, but the court dismissed his suit. Breest has accused Haggis of forcing unprotected oral sex and intercourse in separate incidents.</p>

<p>British author <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-jk-rowling-and-joanne-harris-spar-over-trans-rights-free-speech-508080">JK Rowling </a></strong>has courted controversy in the last few years because of her statements that have been deemed anti-trans community by members of the community, activists, and their allies. Even the stars of the<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-robbie-coltrane-dies-jk-rowling-daniel-radcliffe-emma-watson-others-remember-the-big-friendly-giant-525559"> 'Harry Potter' </a></strong>film series, including the big trio (<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-daniel-radcliffe-addresses-rumours-hes-the-next-wolverine-in-x-men-films-529798">Daniel Radcliffe</a></strong>, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint), have spoken against her views. Rowling wrote the books on which the 'Potter' films are based. She has, however, refused to back down from her opinions. She has also denied the anti-trans accusations and said that a few positions taken by the trans community infringe upon the rights of biological women.</p>

<p>Now, Radcliffe has revealed why he felt necessary to speak up against Rowling. He did so during an interview with IndieWire. Radcliffe will soon be seen in a parody biopic called 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story'.</p>

<p>“The reason I felt very, very much as though I needed to say something when I did was because, particularly since finishing ‘Potter,’ I’ve met so many queer and trans kids and young people who had a huge amount of identification with Potter on that," Radcliffe said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, "And so seeing them hurt on that day I was like, I wanted them to know that not everybody in the franchise felt that way. And that was really important.”</p>

<p>Rowling earned the ire of trans community and activists in 2020 when on Twitter she argued that gender identity contravenes biological sex. She said, "If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a letter published on The Trevor Project’s website, Radcliffe had responded, "Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The release of 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' is a little more than a week away, and the excitement surrounding the film is at an all-time high. And for good reason, for the first film, released in 2018, was historic in many ways. For the first time, a mainstream commercial superhero film had a predominantly black cast and it told a story from their own perspective, not the white man's. Also, it proved to be a humongous hit, grossing $1.3 billion worldwide. 'Wakanda Forever' does not have the first film's star <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-chadwick-boseman-remembered-at-the-world-premiere-of-black-panther-wakanda-forever-528953">Chadwick Boseman</a></strong>, who died of colon cancer in 2020. A new character, possibly Letitia Wright's Shuri, will take up the mantle. It does, however, bring back director Ryan Coogler.</p>

<p>In a recent interview, Coogler revealed that James Cameron's acclaimed 1991 science-fiction film 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' was a big inspiration for him while creating the character of Namor, Tenoch Huerta's supervillain and a member of a race of people who live underwater. He attacks Wakanda along with his army in the wake of the death of T'Challa, the original Black Panther.</p>

<p>Coogler told Collider, "Terminator 2 is a big inspiration for this movie. Big time. And you think about what T-1000 wants, and what Arnold Schwarzenegger's robot wants. They both want John Connor, but T-1000 wants to kill him, Arnold Schwarzenegger's character wants to protect him. That's the movie. And I look at it like that and also try to spend time with them. Not too much, you know what I'm saying? But enough that you understand where they're coming from and that you believe them when they make threats."</p>

<p>The career of English actor Henry Cavill was recently given a huge boost when <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-the-dawn-of-hope-renewed-henry-cavill-officially-confirms-he-will-don-supermans-red-cape-again-528117">he officially confirmed</a></strong> he is back as Superman. It had been five years since he had last played the role and many had lost hope. But thanks to Dwayne Johnson and Cavill's publicist Dany Garcia, Cavill was brought back, and we know he will appear in future projects, including the sequel to 2013's 'Man of Steel'. Cavill may best be known as Superman to most, but early on in his career, he almost played another iconic cinematic character: James Bond. But sadly he lost the role of Daniel Craig, who left an indelible mark on the fictional British spy through five movies.</p>

<p>It would have been a very different world if Cavill had become Bond. While speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, he revealed how that world almost materialised. He said, "They told me I was close. They told me it was ultimately down to, and this is what I’ve been told, it was just down to me and Daniel, and I was the younger option."</p>

<p>"They obviously went with Daniel and I think it was an amazing choice to go with Daniel," he admitted. "I probably wasn’t ready at the time and I think Daniel did an incredible job over the past movies, so I’m happy they made that choice. It was a fun adventure at the time, and definitely gave me a boost to my career. That was the key element of it," added Cavill.</p>
