Lionsgate announced the release dates of three of its upcoming projects -- Maggie Q-Samuel L. Jackson-Michael Keaton’s ‘The PROTÉGÉ’ which will open on August 20. Assassin Moody (Samuel L. Jackson) rescues and trains Anna (Maggie Q) in the family business, grooming her to be the world’s most skilled contract killer. But when Moody – the man who was like a father to her and taught her everything she needs to know about trust and survival – is brutally killed, Anna vows revenge.

Then Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Shotgun Wedding’ will release on June 29, 2022. The film was to have Armie Hammer opposite the singer-actress but he was dropped following a sexual scandal. In ‘Shotgun Wedding’, Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel) gather their lovable but very opinionated families for the ultimate destination wedding just as the couple begin to get cold feet. And if that wasn’t enough of a threat to the celebration, suddenly everyone’s lives are in danger when the entire party is taken hostage.

For the third, ‘White Bird: A Wonder Story’ will bow on September 16, 2022. In the film, Julian Albans, the bully who left Beecher Prep, is visited by his Grandmère from Paris and is transformed by her remarkable story of compassion and courage. As a girl in Nazi-occupied France, the young Grandmère goes into hiding with the help of a schoolmate, a young man who risks everything to give her the chance to survive. Together, they find beauty and love in the secret world of their own creation.&nbsp;

Tiny unicorns and cartoon girls in clown costumes line the shelves of Wang Zhaoxue's study in Beijing -- tokens of China's mania for "blind boxes" that has made fortunes for toymakers and even caught the attention of those in power.

The 18-year-old music student is one of the legions of young Chinese hooked on snaffling up the toys -- from pop art-inspired figurines to mini-archaeological treasures -- to complete whole "ranges" through endless purchases.

The toys, first popularised in Japan, have fixated China in recent years, also driving a booming second-hand market and decorating the desks of white-collar workers and livestreams of box-opening influencers across the country.

The blind box market was worth 7.4 billion yuan ($1.14 billion) in 2019, according to market research firm Qianzhan Intelligence, which added that could soar to 30 billion yuan by 2024.

Similar to the collectibility of baseball cards, most fist-sized packages hold toys, from fairies to miniature King Kongs, but buyers can often be landed with one they already have.

But once in a while, a rare or even "hidden" item -- one that does not appear in advertisements for the range -- will emerge from the box, the holy grail of the collecting craze.

Wang said she has in the past queued overnight for new releases at toy conventions and proudly shows off autographed limited-edition figurines in her family's Beijing apartment.

Her older family members are also fervent toy collectors -- her mother displays by the front door a group of baby-faced figures riding cats.

"It was something quite novel, which got my attention," said Wang, who has now amassed hundreds of the toys.

The element of mystery is a big part of the fun, although "if you shake it, and then feel the box, you can sometimes deduce what's inside".

Wang has turned her passion into a small business, customising duplicates and selling them online for hundreds of yuan apiece.

On the vibrant second-hand market, rare figures can fetch dozens of times the original price of an unopened box, which usually costs $10-$20.

Liu Xiaoli, a nickname, has been collecting blind box toys since 2018.

The advertising professional, in her thirties, pulls thousands of followers to a Bilibili video channel where she documents her box-opening adventures.

She has adopted a technique of weighing some boxes before opening them to build the anticipation of what might be inside.&nbsp;

"It feels good to see them all arranged neatly," said Liu, who has more than 200 toys.

Her favourites are modelled after a cherubic, doe-eyed character called Molly, produced by Beijing-based mystery toymaker Pop Mart, which made its $670 million debut on the Hong Kong stock exchange last year.

The competition is so intense that the most sought-after toys, such as the archaeology-themed blind boxes sold by Henan province's official museum, sell out almost immediately after their online release.

But the craze has not escaped criticism, with state media earlier this year comparing the trend to gambling and warning that the products bred addiction.

In a commentary in January, Xinhua called for more regulation of the sector and said the boxes should not be sold "blindly" to consumers, accusing some brands of "persuading consumers to keep buying and even hyping up a speculative second-hand market".

"One of the reasons behind the success of blind boxes is that they divide their products into different categories of rarity," Steffi Noel, a consumer analyst at Shanghai-based Daxue Consulting, told AFP.

"They set a barrier, expressing the idea that not everyone can get the most special boxes. It generates a sense of competition."&nbsp;

After an awkward tension between actress Rachel Bilson and Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek took place on the internet last month over a throwback photo, things have reportedly gotten calm.&nbsp;

Rachel Bilson revealed that Rami Malek connected with her weeks after she mentioned that he had asked her to remove a throwback photo she had casually shared on the internet. "Rami and I actually have talked since that came out. He connected with me, and we're all good. He was so sweet and we're totally fine now and we talked about it and we're good."

Rachel called Rami “gracious” and said she "totally understood where he was coming from and he understood me. And I was just so happy we were able to squash it and, like, move on."&nbsp;

Rachel Bilson had revealed last month that in 2019 when Rami Malek was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ she decided to post a throwback photo from when the actors were high school classmates on a senior trip to Broadway.

At the time, she said that she posted that photo “cause it's funny and I think it's so important to be able to make fun of yourself" but she said soon after he sent her a direct message on Instagram asking her to take it down because he prefers his privacy.&nbsp;

She said, "But it wasn't like, 'Hey! How are you?!' It was straight to, 'I would really appreciate if you take that down. I'm a really private person’.”&nbsp;

But things seemed to have come a full circle as Rachel Bilson and Rami Malek have moved on from the episode.&nbsp;

Last seen in the recently released BBC/Netflix show ‘The Serpent’, Jenna Coleman has now been roped in for the role of Joan Bright, the woman who ran Winston Churchill’s secret Whitehall bunker. It will be a TV drama series and will be called ‘The War Rooms’.&nbsp;

Jenna Coleman will lead ‘The War Rooms’. It’s created by writer David Chidlow, and comes from David Parfitt, who recently won two Oscars for ‘The Father’ including for Anthony Hopkins’ performance and Best Adapted Screenplay.

‘The War Rooms’ will explore the untold story of the women who lived, loved and triumphed in Winston Churchill’s secret Whitehall bunker. The series will follow Bright and her colleagues as events and challenges unfold – creating a sense of the emotions they experience in those moments. Each season will cover 12-18 months of the war – from the shock of the war’s outbreak to sustaining the fight to the final push for victory and the battle to shape the modern Britain we know.

Jenna Coleman said, “Joan Bright was never going to live a conventional life – a young woman who lived her war days under the official secrets act, undercover and underground in the war rooms. This story is so compelling not only because of her unique and liberal mind, wryness of spirit and curiosity to live, but because of the opportunity to examine this endlessly fascinating period of time through an intimate and human lens. The closeness and proximity of days and nights lived within this small space, the carriers of the truth amidst the oblivion of propaganda above. The beauty and fragility of human connection when living through a time when no one knows what tomorrow will bring. I’m so excited to unearth these hidden lives and at a time where it feels so shockingly relevant right now.”

Korean pop band BTS announced a&nbsp;comeback in May with a new digital single.&nbsp;

The group surprised fans with a livestream countdown to the news earlier last evening. Not much to the surprise of all, over 800,000 fans tuned in to the surprise video. It lasted an hour and followed the journey of a small animated cube of butter with BTS’ logo as it slowly melted into the shape of a heart. The bright yellow video also featured sounds of a busy kitchen and a timer counting down to the announcement.&nbsp;

Once the clock ran out, the livestream briefly displayed the word ‘Butter’ and what we think was the track’s release date, May 21, 2021.&nbsp;

Korean pop band BTS announced a comeback in May with a new digital single. The group surprised fans with a livestream countdown to the news earlier last evening. Not much to the surprise of all, over 800,000 fans tuned in to the surprise video. It lasted an hour and followed the journey of a small animated cube of butter with BTS’ logo as it slowly melted into the shape of a heart. The bright yellow video also featured sounds of a busy kitchen and a timer counting down to the announcement. Once the clock ran out, the livestream briefly displayed the word ‘Butter’ and what we think was the track’s release date, May 21, 2021. #BTS #방탄소년단 Butter#BTS_Butter pic.twitter.com/5LOT2BB7mK — BIGHIT MUSIC (@BIGHIT_MUSIC) April 26, 2021 × As per a press release from BTS’ label Big Hit Music, ‘Butter’ will explore dance pop.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have taken up new job roles with US President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr Jill Biden. They are now joining hands to encourage people to get a coronavirus vaccine at Global Citizen's Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World next month.

The former royals, Bidens and US Vice President Kamala Harris will be making an appearance at the event hosted by Selena Gomez. It is said to inspire vaccine confidence worldwide and help distribute the shots to where they're needed most.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/prince-harry">Harry</a> and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/meghan-markle">Meghan </a>will act as VAX Live Campaign Chairs, delivering an important message about global vaccine equity.&nbsp;

The couple has also been organizing an initiative to raise funds amongst the private sector for the vaccine-sharing program, COVAX. In a press statement, Harry and Meghan said, “Over the past year, our world has experienced pain, loss, and struggle—together. Now we need to recover and heal—together. We can’t leave anybody behind. We will all benefit, we will all be safer, when everyone everywhere has equal access to the vaccine. We must pursue equitable vaccine distribution, and in that, restore faith in our common humanity. This mission couldn’t be more critical or important.”

During the event, Global Citizen will also be requesting philanthropists and corporations donate “dollars-for-doses” in order to vaccinate healthcare workers around the world. They're also requesting that world leaders and governments pledge $22.1 billion in order “to get two billion COVID-19 vaccine doses, tests and treatments to the world's poorest countries by the end of 2021.”

Among those attending, the other heads of state will be President Emmanuel Macron of France, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković of Croatia. There will be plenty of A-list guests present as well, with stars like Ben Affleck, Chrissy Teigen, David Letterman, Gayle King, Jimmy Kimmel, Nomzamo Mbatha, Olivia Munn and Sean Penn, in addition to performances from Jennifer Lopez, H.E.R., J Balvin, Eddie Vedder and the Foo Fighters.
