<p>Zoe Kravitz says her directorial debut "Blink Twice", which she also co-wrote and produced, is a tale about power dynamics between men and women that was born out of her own experiences. In the psychological thriller, waitress Frida, played by Naomi Ackie, and her friend think they are getting a lucky break when tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites them to his private tropical island.</p>

<p>A luxurious holiday with endless partying with Slater's friends ensues, but soon Frida starts noticing that something is amiss. As she starts digging deeper, Frida discovers shocking truths beneath the destination's perfect veneer and the vacation turns into a battle for survival.</p>

<p>"It literally came from my experience. It's very personal," Kravitz, 35, said at the film's London premiere on Monday. "It was really an expression of what it feels like, I think, for a lot of women living in the world," she said of the writing process.</p>

<p>"I felt like there are so many things that women have to do or are expected to do that have become so normalised that we don't even speak about them. And so I really wanted to find a way to explore the complexity and the absurdity of that," Kravitz said.</p>

<p>Kravitz and Tatum, who got engaged last year, were brought together by the film. Tatum had not met Kravitz when she offered him the role of Slater.</p>

<p>"This movie has changed my complete and utter whole life," said Tatum, who also produced the film, adding that the role was unlike anything he has tackled over his almost two-decade-long career.</p>

<p>"Usually I've always had some sort of connection, I bring some sort of a personal aspect of my life into whatever character I'm playing. This movie is just not that movie. It is the first thing that I've ever done that is just so far away from me or from really anybody that I even know," he said.</p>

<p>The film's ensemble cast also includes actors Adria Arjona, Christian Slater, Geena Davis, Kyle MacLachlan and Haley Joel Osment.</p>

<p>"Blink Twice" is out in cinemas globally from Aug. 21.</p>

Zoe Kravitz makes directorial debut with power trip thriller 'Blink Twice'

<p>Manizha, the last musician to represent Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest but unable, she says, to perform live in her adoptive country, has released a defiant anti-war track. "Gun", a reworking of a track she wrote a decade earlier, was released late last month as a single. It will also be part of Extended Play (EP) "Hope" for release on Sept. 4.</p>

<p>"The main idea (with "Gun") is to create something that will be about peace in Ukraine. Peace in Russia. Peace in Israel. Peace in Palestine," she told Reuters in a Zoom interview from Moscow.</p>

<p>Born in Tajikistan, Manizha, whose full name is Manizha Sangin, fled the civil war there in the 1990s, and was initially welcomed in Russia.</p>

<p>But after she made public her opposition to Russia's invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, and also campaigned for LGBTQ rights, she said she is banned from performing in the country, which in turn can no longer take part in the Eurovision Song Contest.</p>

<p>Her Russian identity also makes international performance difficult.</p>

<p>"I'm cancelled in my country, and I'm cancelled in the world," she said, adding that her thoughts on this are explored in her track "Standing Between Two Walls," which is also on the upcoming EP. Ultimately, she believes there is hope.</p>

<p>"Every war is having an end because I experienced that in my homeland in Tajikistan. So it's just a very, very dark part of our time," she said.</p>

<p>She also says she still loves Russia and has been helping displaced people following Ukraine's surprise attack on Russia's Kursk region.</p>

Tajik-Russian musician Manizha defies ban to sing for peace

<p>Russia's prosecutor general on Monday said it had banned a foundation started by US film star George Clooney and his human rights lawyer wife Amal.</p>

<p>"The activities of The Clooney Foundation for Justice are declared undesirable on the territory of our country," it said in a statement.</p>

<p>The organisation "conducts extensive work aimed at discrediting Russia, actively supports false patriots and members of banned terrorist and extremist groups".</p>

<p>"Under the guise of humanitarian ideas, these 'warriors for justice'... advance initiatives of criminal probes against the highest Russian authorities," it said in the statement entitled "The Russian Prosecutor General's&nbsp;Office Appreciates Hollywood Activists' Acting Talent".</p>

<p>After Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022, Russian authorities have upped repression of dissent to levels not seen since the Soviet Union.</p>

<p>In July, the Clooney Foundation, along with several other non-governmental organisations, filed a case with the UN Human Rights Committee, accusing Russia of violating the human rights of Ukrainians killed in a 2022 missile attack on Vinnytsia.</p>

<p>In early August, Russia's prosecutor general banned the German pro-democracy foundation Konrad Adenauer as "undesirable",&nbsp; and in July, he did the same with the Moscow Times news outlet.</p>

<p>The "undesirable" status forces organisations to shut down in Russia and means Russians that work for, fund, or collaborate with them can also be liable to prosecution.</p>

Russia bans Clooney Foundation; declares it ‘undesirable’ organisation

<p>Abhishek Banerjee, who recently played a pivotal role in <em>Stree 2</em>, found himself in the midst of controversy when he revealed getting fired by Dharma Productions due to his casting choice. Now, the actor has shared a statement to clarify the same.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Taking to X, Abhishek wrote, "This week I have been blessed with two releases and one controversy. I’ve been reading and hearing a lot of reports about Dharma Productions supposedly firing my company, Casting Bay, during the casting process of Agneepath (2012)."</p>

<p>He added, "Unfortunately, this situation has been completely misrepresented as accusatory on our part. In a podcast/interview, I had stated the reason for our dismissal, acknowledging that we were unable to align with the vision of director Karan Malhotra for Agneepath."</p>

<p>He also emphasised that he and Anmol were quite young at the time, around 20 to 23 years old, with little to no experience in casting for a major commercial film, which perhaps led to us misinterpreting Malhotra’s requirements for the project.</p>

<p>He clarified that he has not accused or suggested any wrongdoing on the part of Dharma Productions. He went on to say that he has deep respect for Dharma Productions and Karan Johar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I never mentioned Karan Johar in relation to our dismissal, yet some reports falsely claim that he was the one who fired us. The decision was actually made by Mr. Malhotra’s team, and I accepted our mistakes. I shared this story to encourage young people that even if you fail or hit a roadblock, you can always bounce back, as we did,” the actor shared.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor has worked on several projects with Dharma Productions, starting with <em>Ok Jaanu, Student of the Year 2, Kalank </em>and recent releases like <em>Kill</em> and <em>Gyarah Gyarah</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Last week, the singer took a trip down memory lane and revealed how she feels about her first hit single Tik Tok. In the caption, she wrote, "TiK ToK was the first single that I put into this world that had my voice AND my name credited!!!! I remember making it fun and happy because that’s how I felt and wanted others to feel. What I’m so proud of is that’s how this song STILL makes me feel, through it all, and those are emotions I want all of us to connect to. 15 (!!!!!!) years later, I see this song as a snapshot into the way I saw the world at the time. That girl was naive and wild and playful. This song eternalizes a side of myself that I love very much, and now see I have to protect fiercely. The world has changed so much and so have I."&nbsp;</p>

<p>She added, "I absolutely love the new lyric change. (Shout out to @reneerapp). Yes it is permanent. I will re-record it when I have legal rights to! Now, my first baby stands for so much. It stands for fiercely protecting fun and unadulterated joy, in myself and in others. The whole ride has been absolute insanity, but the JOY is still riding. I hope you all can find 3 1/2 minutes of play in this song and connect with your wild child-like joy. Thank you for making my life so magical animals, it’s one for the books!"

What I’m so proud of is that’s how this song STILL makes me feel, through it all, and those are emotions I want all of us to connect to. 15 (!!!!!!) years later, I see this song as a snapshot into the way I saw the world at the time.

Mohanlal's 'Barroz' gets new release date

<p>Bollywood actress-turned-BJP politician&nbsp;Kangana Ranaut recently sat down for a podcast with Raj Shamani and candidly shared how she started out in Bollywood, how living in a joint family helped her become more confident, her rebellious nature and finally, why she is always at odds with Bollywood.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actress once again slammed Bollywood stars, calling them "dumb and stupid". "Look, I am not Bollywood kind of person, okay. I can’t be friends with Bollywood people for sure. Bollywood people are just so full of themselves. They are stupid, they are dumb, they are (all about) protein shake and that kind of a (life)," Kangana said in the podcast.&nbsp;</p>

<p id="2">When Raj tried to defend Bollywood and suggested that not all stars can be the same, Kangana replied, "Come on yaar, I have seen enough Bollywood to know that, you don’t tell me. If they are not shooting, their routine is they wake up in the morning, do some physical training, sleep in the afternoon, again wake up, go to gym, again sleep in the night or watch TV. They are like grasshoppers, totally blank. How can you be friends with such people? They have no idea what is going on where, they have no conversations, they meet, they drink (and discuss their clothes, accessories). I will be very shocked to find a decent person in Bollywood who can talk beyond impacts or cars."</p>

<p>Kangana also said that she cannot attend Bollywood parties because they traumatise her. "It’s trauma, a Bollywood party for me is like trauma." When asked why she feels this way, she shared that she doesn't like the conversations people have at such parties.</p>

<p>Elizabeth Debicki, who we all love for playing Princess Diana in the Netflix hit series <em>The Crown</em>, believes that the show has reached a fitting conclusion and that it should not be extended with any follow-up seasons.</p>

<p>"I think it ended in the right place, really. It respected its own cycle in a way," she said.</p>

<p>Debicki praised the series' creator, Peter Morgan, for his ability to understand and execute the show's natural ending. "It always kind of knew where it was going," she explained. "Peter did an amazing job wrapping up such an enormous journey. When you commit to watching six seasons of a show, you need it to end properly."</p>

<p>Debicki played Princess Diana during the final two seasons of <em>The Crown</em>, which focused on the late royal's life leading up to her tragic death in a car accident in August 1997.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She also praised the performances in the final season, noting, "I think everybody's performance in this season is really kind of magnificent. I know I'm biased because it's my show, but I think everyone did really incredible work."</p>

<p>Debicki also acknowledged the show's self-awareness, saying, "There are moments where <em>The Crown</em> is very aware of what it is. It's not trying to hide the fact that it's a drama and that it's a TV drama. I like that sort of self-awareness and the use of devices like that."</p>

<p>As <em>The Crown</em> garnered 18 Emmy nominations for 2024, including a nod for Debicki as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama, she expressed her excitement, saying, "I was so thrilled that so many of us have been nominated.

<p>Looking back on her time with the show, Debicki reflected on the long journey she and her castmates have experienced over the past three years. "It's just a lovely end to a long and beautiful — but sometimes really challenging — chapter as actors," she shared.</p>

<p>Matthew Perry's final words before his death from the acute effects of ketamine have reportedly been revealed in fresh court documents. The actor asked his assistant Kenneth Iwamasa to help him take the ketamine drug thrice on the day he died. Perry reportedly&nbsp;told her, "Shoot me up with a big one," referring to a dose of ketamine</p>

<p>Iwamasa has been indicted alongside four others, Jasveen Sangha, Mark Chavez, Salvador Plasencia, and Erik Fleming, on federal charges related to Perry’s death. Iwamasa pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death.</p>

<p>On the day Perry died, Iwamasa allegedly administered three doses of ketamine to the actor. With the last dose being administered just 40 minutes before Perry was found unresponsive in his hot tub.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Prosecutors believe these injections led to Perry's death, though Iwamasa claims he administered 27 doses in the five days leading up to the incident, all under the instructions of Plasencia.</p>

<p>A source close to Perry told US Weekly that "Matthew kept secrets" and that Iwamasa may have been the only one aware of the severity of his addiction.</p>

<p>Perry had been open about his struggles with addiction in his 2022 memoir, <em>Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing</em>, where he discussed using ketamine to cope with pain and depression. He described the drug as something that seemed to "have his name written all over it."</p>

<p>Beau DeMayo, the creator of<em> X-Men '97</em>, claims he was fired by Marvel Studios and had his credits removed from the show’s second season due to a Pride Month post, a claim Marvel firmly denies.</p>

<p>On August 16, Marvel Studios released a statement, explaining that DeMayo was terminated in March 2024 following an internal investigation. "Given the egregious nature of the findings, we severed ties with him immediately, and he has no further affiliation with Marvel," the statement added.</p>

<p>Reports also suggest that DeMayo was also investigated for alleged sexual misconduct and that his removal of writing credits was due to violations of his termination agreement.</p>

<p>In response, DeMayo’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, issued a statement to refute the claims. He accused Disney of following a "pattern of silencing employees through dubious contractual practices". &nbsp;</p>

<p>"Having much experience with Disney, the playbook is always the same. Family-friendly on the outside, but secretly attempting to plant illegal unconscionable items in contracts that silence the truth and stop the employee/customer from asserting basic constitutional rights," the statement read.</p>

<p>"As we will explain through detailed examples which we will roll out in detail one by one, Disney’s model is very clear and a repetitive illegal pattern. Once it gets challenged or exposed, the gaslighting and redirection of the blame toward anyone willing to tell the truth starts through an international well-oiled publicity machine."</p>

<p>On August 15, DeMayo took to X to allege that Marvel fired him because of a fan-art post he shared during Pride Month. The artwork, which celebrated LGBTQ+ pride, was posted in June, and DeMayo claims he received a letter from Marvel on June 13 informing him that his season 2 credits were stripped due to the post.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I’ll have more to say soon but must take a step back from social media to find a safer space for me to be out, proud, and nerdy. Stay tuned," he wrote.</p>

<p>Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles and Richard Lawson have finalised their divorce settlement. The 70-year-old fashion designer filed for divorce from the 77-year-old actor on July 26 last year in Los Angeles County Superior Court. She cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce filing.</p>

<p>The couple has reached a settlement agreement that outlines the division of their assets and debts. According to court documents obtained by People, the "irremediable breakdown of the marriage" made it impossible for them to continue living together as husband and wife. They had tied the knot on April 12, 2015,&nbsp;</p>

<p>As part of the settlement, both Knowles and Lawson waived their rights to spousal support. Knowles, however, will be making a one-time payment of $300,000 to Lawson. This payment is meant to settle any interest Lawson had in their community property and to cover any community debts accumulated during their marriage.</p>

<p>Lawson was awarded a 2021 Cadillac Escalade, the right to all earnings and creative works he acquired since their separation, funds from Richard Lawson Studios Inc., his SAG pension plan, and personal belongings, including clothing and jewellery.</p>

<p>Knowles, on the other hand, retained ownership of a property in Los Angeles and another in Texas. She was also awarded all furniture, artwork, and personal effects in these properties. Additionally, she will keep a 2018 Tesla, a 2020 Bentley, a book deal with Penguin Random House for the "Matriarch" series, and a 1 per cent interest in Kirby Beauty Management LLC. Like Lawson, she will retain all earnings and creative works generated since their separation.</p>

<p>The former couple also agreed to a "non-disparagement agreement." They agreed to mutually approve any public statements about their divorce and to refrain from making negative comments about each other or their families.</p>

<p>Horror film fans can now own a piece of cinematic history! The famous house from the 1982 horror classic Poltergeist is now up for sale. Located in Simi Valley, California, the home is listed for $1,174,999 by Lauren Murdock of Equity Union, according to latest reports.</p>

<p>The 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom property at 4267 Roxbury Street served as the setting for much of the original Poltergeist film, helmed by Tobe Hooper and co-produced by Steven Spielberg. The listing has quickly garnered attention, not just for its connection to the horror film, but also because it's the first time the home has been put on the market in 45 years.</p>

<p>While the house’s cinematic history might give it a spooky reputation, Equity Union assures potential buyers that “this house is clean” and free of any ghostly inhabitants. "We are getting quite a bit of interest on the property," Murdock told People, highlighting the appeal of the 2,373-square-foot home in Ventura County.</p>

<p>The house has a spacious living room with large windows. The formal dining room leads to the kitchen, where several scenes of the movie were shot. The main floor also includes a cozy fireplace, an office space that could be converted into an extra bedroom, a half bathroom and a laundry room.</p>

<p>The primary bedroom features vaulted ceilings and an en suite bathroom with a large bathtub, double sinks, a separate shower area, and a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms share a hallway bathroom.</p>

<p>Outside, the property includes a three-car garage, a large backyard with a pool and jacuzzi, ideal for family gatherings, and ample storage space.</p>

<p>The listing playfully notes, "It’s much safer than building a portal to another dimension!" Emphasizing its unique place in Hollywood history, the agency calls it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" for buyers looking to own a home with a story—minus the scares.</p>

<p>Poltergeist, which follows the Freeling family as they are haunted by ghosts, was a massive success, earning $121.7 million at the box office. The film spawned two sequels and a 2015 remake.

Yash Chopra stamp launched at Australian Parliament House; Rani Mukerji expresses gratitude

<p><em>Daughters</em>, a documentary about young girls and their incarcerated fathers, is both a healing tool for its subjects and a change-maker for communities, its directors say. The feature film follows four young Black girls; Aubrey, Santana, Razia and Ja'Ana, as they prepare for and participate in a father-daughter dance behind bars.</p>

<p>The dance takes place in a Washington D.C., jail, part of an initiative launched in Richmond, Virginia, by Angela Patton, founder of the Camp Diva Leadership Academy and CEO of Girls for a Change, which are both non-profit youth development groups.</p>

<p>Co-directed by Patton and Natalie Rae, <em>Daughters</em> delves into the girls' emotions as they get ready to see their fathers in person, some for the first time in years.</p>

<p>To take part in the dance, the fathers have to join a 12-week programme that includes group therapy sessions. They are given formal clothing to wear instead of their prison uniforms. The girls wear carefully chosen dresses for the dance, held in the prison gym.</p>

<p>The father-daughter duos are announced as they walk in, applauded by other participants seated around tables decorated with flowers and candles. During the dance, some hug and hold hands, while others appear more distant.</p>

<p>As they filmed what they thought would be the climax of their film, the emotion-laden dance, Rae and Patton realised they had to keep the cameras rolling.</p>

<p>Filming the girls for three more years resulted in "more of a coming of age film", Rae said.<br />
Patton said she wanted "to advance opportunities for Black girls and make sure that their voices were elevated.</p>

<p>"I see this as a way for a lot of people who are doing family strengthening work, family bonding work, people that are doing criminal justice work, women who need support because they are raising families alone, it can be a tool for so many purposes," she said.</p>

<p>To gain the girls' and their families' trust, Rae and Patton took time to get to know them. "There's no shortcut for that," said Rae. "It's just years and months and days of just being around and being part of birthday parties or visits to the hospital and cook outs.”</p>

<p><em>Daughters</em>, which opened at the Sundance Film Festival in January and won the Audience Award: U.S. Documentary and Festival Favorite Award, starts streaming on Netflix on Aug. 14.</p>

<p>Disney/Marvel superhero comedy "Deadpool &amp; Wolverine" enjoyed an exceptional third weekend, taking in an estimated $54.2 million in North American theaters, but Sony's dramatic romance "It Ends With Us" was headed for one of the best openings ever for that genre, analysts said Sunday.</p>

<p>"Deadpool," led by popular stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, has now passed the $1 billion mark in global ticket sales, with $494.3 million in North America and $535 million internationally, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations said.</p>

<p>Warner Bros.' 2019 thriller "Joker" was the only other R-rated film to reach the $1 billion milestone, according to Hollywood Reporter.</p>

<p>But "It Ends With Us" was sailing along at a near-historic pace as well, taking in $50 million for the Friday-through-Sunday period in what was an extraordinary weekend for the power couple of Reynolds and Blake</p>

<p>It was the first time in an August, a traditionally slow month, that two films have grossed $50 million in the same weekend, Variety reported.</p>

<p>Analyst David A. Gross said that final numbers should place "It Ends With Us" -- based on the 2016 novel by uber-best-selling author Colleen Hoover -- among the top all-time romance openings. "Fifty Shades of Grey" still has a firm grip on that list, with an $85.2 million opening.</p>

<p>In third for the weekend was Universal's weather thriller "Twisters," at $15 million, down one spot from last weekend. Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones star as daring tornado chasers who sometimes find the tornados chasing them.</p>

<p>Lionsgate's new release "Borderlands" placed fourth, at $8.8 million, in what Gross said was "a weak opening" for a video-game-based action film despite a cast including Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart and Jack Black. The critically panned film cost an estimated $100 million to make.</p>

<p>And in fifth, down one spot in its sixth weekend out, was Universal's family-friendly animation "Despicable Me 4," at $8 million.</p>

<p>Rounding out the top 10 were:</p>

'Deadpool & Wolverine' top in N.American theaters, pass $1 billion globally

<p>Rumours of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's divorce had taken social media by storm last month when they were spotted attending an event separately. Many speculated if the two stars were planning to get separated and move on in their lives. And their silence only made the rumours spread like wildfire.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, some media outlets recently reported that the actor has broken his silence over the separation rumours. However, it is far from the truth.</p>

<h2><strong>So what exactly caused the confusion?</strong></h2>

<p>The video currently doing rounds on the internet is actually from 2016.&nbsp;While attending&nbsp;the premiere of Aishwarya's 2016 film&nbsp;<em>Sarbjit</em>, the actor was asked&nbsp;if "things were not good" between him and Aishwarya. To which,&nbsp;Abhishek replied, "I don't have to say anything to you all about that."</p>

<p>In the same interview, he further added, "You all have blown the entire thing out of proportion, sadly. I understand, why you do it. You have to file some stories. It's okay, we're celebrities, we have to take it." He also showed off his wedding ring at the time and said, "Still married, sorry."</p>

<h2><strong>So, what triggered the divorce rumours?</strong></h2>

<p>Abhishek recently liked an Instagram post about divorce which many took as a hint at his failing marriage. The post read, "Yet, sometimes life doesn't unfold as we hoped. But how do people cope when they separate after decades together, after spending a significant portion of their lives relying on each other for both big and small things? What drives them to sever ties, and what challenges do they face? This story delves into these questions. Coincidentally, 'grey divorces' or 'silver splitters'-terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50-are on the rise globally. The reasons, though varied, are not surprising."</p>

<p>The actor also attended the Olympic Games without his better half, which further raised eyebrows. Many news outlets have even reported that the couple are living separately, however, it has not been confirmed by the family yet. Aishwarya has stayed silent on the matter, as of now.</p>

<p>Abhishek and Aishwarya exchanged wedding vows in 2007. In 2011, they welcomed their daughter Aaradhya into the family. The couple celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary in April.&nbsp;</p>

Coincidentally, 'grey divorces' or 'silver splitters'-terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50-are on the rise globally. The reasons, though varied, are not surprising." The actor also attended the Olympic Games without his better half, which further raised eyebrows. Many news outlets have even reported that the couple are living separately, however, it has not been confirmed by the family yet. Aishwarya has stayed silent on the matter, as of now. Abhishek and Aishwarya exchanged wedding vows in 2007. In 2011, they welcomed their daughter Aaradhya into the family. The couple celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary in April.

Did Abhishek Bachchan FINALLY break silence on divorce rumours with Aishwarya Rai? Here's the truth!

<p>Tom Cruise, known for performing daredevil stunts with the utmost ease, capped off the 2024 Olympics by abseiling off the Stade de France roof and travelling all the way back to the United States with the Olympic flag. During the closing ceremony act, the actor got mobbed by fans and one even managed to kiss and hug Cruise forcibly.</p>

<p>Several videos of the unusual exchange between the actor and the fan are going viral online and as expected, netizens are unhappy with the fan's behaviour. Many are questioning if something like this would go under the radar if the roles were reversed.</p>

<p>"Would hate to see what would happen if the roles were reversed," a user wrote on X. Meanwhile, another commented, "Did she ask for consent?"</p>

<p>"The amount of people laughing at Tom Cruise getting kissed while working at the Olympics is disgusting. If that was a female celebrity there'd be uproar. Like him or not that shouldn't have happened," a third wrote.</p>

<p>“The worst kind of people in audiences. Absolute zero respect for personal space. If it had been a man with a woman people would already be looking for all his information to burn him alive,” a fourth opined.</p>

<p>The year 2024 is turning out to be a blessing for Miley Cyrus. In February, she received her first Grammy award and went viral with her "Flowers" song. And now, she has become the youngest person ever to be named a Disney Legend.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Sunday, the 31-year-old received this prestigious honour during the D23 event in Anaheim, California. As she stood onstage, the gravity of the moment overwhelmed her and she broke into tears as the audience celebrated her contribution to the entertainment industry with a standing ovation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While wiping her tears, Miley said, "I’m gonna let everybody get on a little Disney Legend secret. I’m the one that tells you what you’re not supposed to know. And what I want to say, is that legends get scared, too. I’m scared right now, but the difference is we do it anyway, and all of you can do that every single day. It’s legendary to be afraid and do it anyway. There is no such thing as failure when you try."</p>

<p>While James Cameron didn't preview any footage, he did showcase some concept art from the film, including Neytiri (Zoe) dancing over flames and riding banshees.</p>

<p>"You'll see a lot more pandora that you never saw before," Cameron said. "It's an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes, but it's also got very high emotional stakes, more than ever before," Cameron said during the presentation. "We're going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love."</p>

<p>Cameron shot Fire and Ash back-to-back with 2022's <em>Avatar: The Way of Water</em>, which depicts the war between humanity and the Na'vi after the rapacious Resources Development Administration (RDA) returns to the alien moon of Pandora.</p>

The wait is finally over. The title of Avatar 3 has been disclosed. On Friday, during the D23 expo, director James Cameron and stars Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington revealed the first official title for the third Avatar film as Avatar: Fire and Ash. While James Cameron didn't preview any footage, he did showcase some concept art from the film, including Neytiri (Zoe) dancing over flames and riding banshees. "You'll see a lot more pandora that you never saw before," Cameron said. "It's an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes, but it's also got very high emotional stakes, more than ever before," Cameron said during the presentation. "We're going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love." Cameron shot Fire and Ash back-to-back with 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water, which depicts the war between humanity and the Na'vi after the rapacious Resources Development Administration (RDA) returns to the alien moon of Pandora.
