Paramount Lands Mark Wahlberg, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Crime Thriller ‘By Any Means’

Published by Daniella Wilson

Paramount has set a date to head back to 1966. The studio has acquired U.S. rights for the historical crime thriller By Any Means and set a Labor Day weekend release date of Sept. 4, 2026 for the project, which stars Mark Wahlberg and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Elegance Bratton directs the feature from a script by Sascha Penn. “Set against the backdrop of 1966 Mississippi, and loosely based on true events, By Any Means follows a volatile partnership between a hardened mafia hitman and a young Black FBI agent as they are forced into an uneasy alliance to track down those responsible for the killing of civil rights leaders—uncovering a conspiracy that tests the limits of justice, loyalty, and survival,” reads the logline. Bratton, known for marine drama The Inspection, said of the film: “This is a story about unlikely alliances forged under impossible circumstances—where justice is not clean, and the truth comes at a cost. I wanted to explore what it means to confront violence not just as an act, but as a system—and what it …

Meta’s New AI Model Gives Mark Zuckerberg a Seat at the Big Kid’s Table

Meta’s New AI Model Gives Mark Zuckerberg a Seat at the Big Kid’s Table

Published by skeptic

Meta on Wednesday announced its first major model since CEO Mark Zuckerberg rebooted the company’s AI efforts last year under a new division called Meta Intelligence Labs. The model, called Muse Spark, is a step toward Zuckerberg’s vision of “personal superintelligence,” the company says, and for now, it will remain closed source. Zuckerberg said in a social media post that Meta’s goal is to build AI products that “don’t just answer your questions but act as agents that do things for you”. The billionaire added that he is “optimistic that this will support a wave of creativity, entrepreneurship, growth, and health.” Muse Spark certainly appears to be a major upgrade over Meta’s last big release, Llama 4, which came out in April 2025 and was viewed in the tech industry as a disappointment with middling performance. Meta is making Muse Spark available via meta.ai and through the Meta AI app. Unlike Llama, Muse Spark is not being released for others to download, though the company says it hopes to open source future versions. Meta was …

‘Their Town’ review: Katie Aselton and Mark Duplass create a glorious hangout movie for theater kids

‘Their Town’ review: Katie Aselton and Mark Duplass create a glorious hangout movie for theater kids

Published by skeptic

Theater kids can get a bad wrap for being too much and generally annoying. But speaking as a theater kid, a lot of that energy comes from an urgent desire to be known — not just seen but truly known.  Mark Duplass and Katie Aselton understand that yearning and channel that earnestness and openness into the teen drama Their Town. Pulling inspiration from Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy, Duplass scripts a deceptively simple story about two high schoolers who connect one long night after play rehearsal. Aselton directs, weaving the story across a small Maine town, turning everyday locations into sacred spaces of sharing. And in the lead roles, this husband-and-wife team chose one established young actor, IT‘s Chosen Jacobs, and one newcomer, their daughter, Ora Duplass. Together, they create a hangout movie that is patient, poignant, and powerful.  Their Town captures the frail and frightening freedom of youth.  Beginning at play rehearsal after school, Their Town swiftly establishes Abby (Duplass) and Matt (Jacobs) through their positions on stage. She is the lead, opposite her moody …

Sir Sadiq and Sir Mark are saying London is safe; not in Clapham

Later, when the charges have been made and the judicial process is under way, we can go onto thinking about the larger problem of disaffected young people who seem bent on proving the old dictum that Satan finds mischief for idle hands. More youth clubs, more job opportunities, would help, and it goes without saying – doesn’t it? – that parents must be held accountable for their young. And maybe police can start to take normal, everyday shoplifting – at record levels right now – seriously, because right now, they don’t. Source link
