Sean Penn to Direct Bradley Cooper in Untitled Jan. 6 Friendship Drama

 Sean Penn has written and will direct Bradley Cooper in a movie that takes place during the events of the Jan.6 Capitol riot, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Cooper is in talks to star in the film, with production set to begin in the middle of 2027.

The film isn't directly about what happened on Jan.6, 2021, in Washington, D.C., but instead focuses on an unexpected friendship that formed between a police officer and others during the U.S.Capitol riot.

Penn will produce the film with John Ira Palmer and John Wildermuth through their company, Projected Picture Works.

Warner Bros.is discussing acquiring the film, and CAA Media Finance is handling the deal-making for the producers.

Warner Bros.recently released Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another," which won six Oscars, including best picture.This film also earned Sean Penn his third Oscar for best supporting actor.However, Penn wasn't there to accept the award, and it was later found out that he had met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

When asked about not attending the Tribeca Festival earlier this month, Penn explained that he used to have a hard time going to awards shows.

He said he felt relief at best but eventually realized that he couldn't keep going to all these events.

He said, "Knowing I wasn't going to do that anymore, I did one before that this year.

I went to the Golden Globes; I'd never been there before.And that's where I decided, 'I can't do this.' [The Oscars] always represented social discomfort to me."

This decision adds to Penn's best actor wins for "Mystic River" in 2004 and "Milk" in 2009.

He started his acting career in the early 1980s with small roles in the military thriller "Taps" and the comedy "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." He later shifted to more serious roles and delivered strong performances in "State of Grace" and "The Indian Runner."

Deadline was the first to report on the untitled Jan.

Tom Holland Finally Confirms He Secretly Married Zendaya

 Now, was that so hard?

Tom Holland finally confirmed he married Zendaya, but he did it in a careful and not very direct way during an interview with Esquire.

The Spider-Man: Brand New Day actor was asked about the fake AI photos that showed a wedding between the two stars in Lake Como, Italy, with their friends and family there.

Holland mentioned his grandmother was worried she wasn’t invited to the wedding after the photos started going around.

When asked if any other family or friends were fooled, Holland paused for a moment and then said, "No, because they were all there."

He then added, "That's all you'll get on that."

Reports that Zendaya and Holland had married first started circulating widely after the Euphoria star’s stylist, Law Roach, told Access Hollywood in March, "The wedding has already happened.

You missed it.It's very true."

In addition, Zendaya has been seen wearing a gold band along with her engagement ring, and she has recently spoken about her preference for keeping her personal life private.

"I just feel like, for me, there is a level of parasocial investment in my personal relationship, which I understand, and I'm aware that I'm a public person, and so is he, and I'm also aware that we've grown up in front of people, and we've done movies where we fall in love with each other," she told The New York Times.

"I really do understand that, and I don't want to dismiss that like 'stay out of my business' but in a lot of ways, I also am a very private person, and I try my best to be able to have things for myself and for him as well."

"We do our best in general to not hide ourselves from the world, but just to, I think, preserve things for ourselves so that we can maintain that joy just within ourselves and our loved ones and our family," she continued.

"So that's kind of like my broad way of just saying, I hear it, but I also like my own little boundaries of what I like to bring up and talk about, but then also what I'm also willing to share."

Holland also spoke about the relationship in the new interview, "She's my best friend, and I'm the happiest I ever have been when I'm with her, but I also have never felt so supported and safe, ever.

Period."

The actors star in Sony's Brand New Day, which is released July 31.

Anya Taylor-Joy to Star in ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt For Gollum’ as an Elf

The most recent celebrity to join the cast of "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" is Anya Taylor-Joy.

In addition to Ian McKellen (as Gandalf), Elijah Wood (as Frodo), and Lee Pace (as King Thranduil), the New Line and Warner Bros. picture is directed by Andy Serkis, who reprises his role as Gollum.

Kate Winslet (Marigol), Jamie Dornan (Strider), and Leo Woodall (Halvard) are among the notable new cast members that Taylor-Joy joins. Seren, a Sindar Elf of the Woodland Realm and "a trusted and lethal agent of King Thranduil," will be portrayed by the Golden Globe winner and Emmy contender. On December 17, 2027, Warner Bros. will release "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" globally.

After "Furiosa," the prequel to "Mad Max: Fury Road," and the "Dune" films, Taylor-Joy has now been cast in three major Warner Bros. series. On December 18, "Dune: Part Three," the conclusion of Denis Villeneuve's critically acclaimed trilogy, will be published. Taylor-Joy will next be seen in "Lucky," which she executive produces for Apple TV+. Felker Toczek Suddleson McGinnis Ryan, The Way Management, Apex PR, and CAA represent her.

The six theatrical "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" movies made around $6 billion globally over the course of 20 years. "The Hunt for Gollum" seeks to carry on that illustrious cinematic tradition. The movie will follow the hunt for the titular corrupted Hobbit in the years preceding "The Fellowship of the Ring," the first part of the trilogy. Produced by Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Zane Weiner, the film brings back the Oscar-winning creative team. Executive producers are Jonathan Cavendish, Serkis, and Ken Kamins of The Imaginarium. Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou collaborate with original trilogy screenwriters Walsh and Boyens to adapt the J.R.R. Tolkien source material.

"The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past," the next movie in the fantasy series, will be written by Peter McGee, Stephen Colbert, and Philippa Boyens. WingNut Films, in collaboration with Spartina Industries, is producing the project.

‘Disclosure Day’ Launches to $93 Million Globally, ‘Michael’ Nears $950 Million Milestone Box Office

 Steven Spielberg's alien-themed thriller "Disclosure Day" made a strong start internationally, pulling in $48.9 million from 73 countries during its first week. Universal spent $115 million to make the movie and another $80 million on advertising. Since about half of the earnings go to theaters, the film needs to make around $300 million worldwide to be profitable. So far, it has made $44 million in North America and $92.9 million in three days. The reviews are mostly positive, but people's responses have been all over the place. This makes it hard to say how long the movie will stay popular in theaters.

"Disclosure Day" stars Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor as a weather expert and a tech expert who team up to reveal the government's secret about aliens.

 The film had a good number of viewers in big screen formats like Imax, which contributed $6.5 million or 15% of its international earnings. The top markets were the United Kingdom and Ireland with $7.6 million, Mexico with $3.9 million, China with $2.9 million, and France with $2.9 million.

David A. Gross, who follows box office trends, says sci-fi movies usually do well overseas.

 He adds that if the film isn't doing well, it's because China has become less of a big market for American movies.

Meanwhile, the movie "Michael," which is about Michael Jackson, is getting closer to another box office record.

 It has made $17 million internationally and $21 million overall in its eighth weekend. So far, it has earned $932.2 million worldwide and should soon pass $950 million. If sales continue to rise and go over $975 million, it will beat "Oppenheimer" as the highest-grossing biopic ever. The movie has already beaten "Bohemian Rhapsody" ($911 million) as the biggest musical biopic.

Other large movies are not doing as well.

 Amazon MGM's "Masters of the Universe," a toy movie, made only $8.4 million from 86 countries in its second weekend, bringing its international total to just $39.4 million. The film, based on an 80s toy, is close to being a failure with $45.7 million from the U.S. and $84 million worldwide against a budget of nearly $200 million.

Disney's "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu" is also not doing well, taking in $7.1 million from 52 countries in its fourth showing.

 This family film, which is connected to the popular Disney+ series "The Mandalorian," has made $150 million overseas and $315 million worldwide against a $165 million budget. It might end up being the worst-earning "Star Wars" film ever, a title currently held by 2018's "Solo: A Star Wars Story" with $179 million internationally and $392 million worldwide, not adjusted for inflation.
