Summer’s most-anticipated programming event, Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, will return for its historic 35th year with Jason Momoa joining as host. Momoa, who is dedicated to protecting and preserving our oceans, will guide fans through the biggest annual celebration of sharks. Kathleen Finch, Chairman and Chief Content Officer, US Networks Group, Warner Bros. Discovery made the announcement on May 17 during the company’s 2023 Upfront presentation at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
“As the host of Shark Week, I am beyond excited to take you along on this journey,” said Momoa. “This project means more to me than a week of talking about sharks. It’s a chance for me to learn and share my connection to these amazing creatures. My love of sharks came long before my time as Aquaman – it began several generations before me.”
Over the course of Shark Week, fans can expect adrenaline-inducing original hours of sharks from new and continuously explored destinations, all captured on-camera by Discovery’s dedicated science and research field teams.

Ben Wheatley is known for directing horror, but his best-known work include the quiet sort of horror from psychological thrillers like “Kill List” and thrilling mysteries like “Rebecca” – as opposed to screamfests such as “Meg 2: The Trench.”
“There’s something very blue-collar about all of it, the nuts and bolts, and they’re not superheroes,” Wheatley told Total Film magazine in 2021 of the characters of the “Meg” movies. “Even though they do quite outlandish stuff, there’s a vulnerability to them, which is exciting. There’s something about the superhero genre where, much as I enjoy it, as it gets bigger and bigger and bigger, there’s problems with the way they’re just invulnerable. That lessens the tension. I like human risk. That side of it is interesting to me.”
More than the characters, Wheatley is also all praises for the casting because the international makeup of the cast reflects back the nature of global scientific ventures. “Our cast is based around the realism found in the world of science,” says Wheatley in another interview. “Usually, an oceanic research group would be pulling the best people from all over the globe, with a mix of people from everywhere.”
Wheatley is also known for the dark comedy and action in some of his films, and with “Meg 2” starring Jason Statham and global action icon Wu Jing, expect plenty of heart-pounding action! Jason Statham is always keen to do as many of his own stunts as possible, and about Wu Jing, Wheatley shares that at one point while filming an explosive sequence, Jing volunteered to have a camera strapped to him to get an up-close shot of the actual explosions. Wheatley explains, “We did that a few times with Wu Jing and it always turned out well. It really puts the viewer into the action when you do that. He was always ready to do anything, and never a complaint. I think he could break his leg and he’d still be going, ‘Yeah, I’m fine.’”
Dive into uncharted waters with Jason Statham and global action icon Wu Jing as they lead a daring research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean. Their voyage spirals into chaos when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival. Pitted against colossal Megs and relentless environmental plunderers, our heroes must outrun, outsmart, and outswim their merciless predators in a pulse-pounding race against time.
Jason Statham and Wu Jing lead an ensemble cast that also includes Sophia Cai (“The Meg”), Page Kennedy (“The Meg”), Sergio Peris-Mencheta (“Rambo: Last Blood”), Skyler Samuels (“The Gifted”), and Cliff Curtis (“Avatar” franchise).
“Meg 2: The Trench” is directed by Ben Wheatley (“In the Earth,” “Free Fire”), from a screenplay by Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber (“The Meg,” “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts”) and Dean Georgaris (“The Meg,” “Lara Croft: Toom Raider – The Cradle of Life”), and a screen story by Dean Georgaris and Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber, based on the novel The Trench by Steve Alten. The film is produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura (“The Meg,” “Bumblebee”) and Belle Avery (“The Meg,” “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead”), and executive produced by Jason Statham, Cate Adams, Ruigang Li, Catherine Xujun Ying, Wu Jing, E. Bennett Walsh, Erik Howsam, Gerald R. Molen and Randy Greenberg.
In Philippine cinemas starting August 2, “Meg 2: The Trench” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Discovery company.

Hello, ghost hunters and Disney aficionados! Today, we’re about to lift the tombstone on Walt Disney Pictures’ “Haunted Mansion”, inspired by the beloved theme park attraction. Let’s venture into the ghostly halls and learn more about this eerie, entertaining film. Are you brave enough to join us?
1. A Director’s Personal Connection to the Mansion Turned Into Cinematic Magic
One of the intriguing facts about the making of “Haunted Mansion” is the personal history of the film’s director, Justin Simien, with the theme park attraction. Not only did he grow up adoring the Haunted Mansion ride, but he also worked at Disneyland during his film school days, spending all his breaks on the ride. Much of his family is from Louisiana and the New Orleans area, granting him an intimate understanding of the location’s rich history. This personal connection and deep understanding of the source material helped him capture the unique tone and visual landscape of the film, adding an authentic touch to the spooky narrative.
Simien ensured cultural authenticity in “Haunted Mansion” by drawing from his deep understanding of Black Creole culture, mirroring the demographics of New Orleans by having a Black lead, and enhancing the film’s cultural setting. Simien’s commitment to preserving the charm of the original ride through practical effects and real-time cast interaction, coupled with a carefully selected ensemble cast, aims to provide audiences with laughter and escapism while subtly transforming their fears about death and grief into something tangible and less intimidating.
2. From Theme Park to Silver Screen
Would you believe that the original concept for “Haunted Mansion” was born in a theme park, not a scriptwriter’s notebook? The film is actually inspired by the legendary Disneyland attraction of the same name. It’s one of several Disney movies—like “Pirates of the Caribbean”—that have their roots in the iconic amusement park. Disneyland, Disney’s storied amusement park, has consistently provided a rich source of inspiration for cinematic narratives, birthing a series of prosperous movies.
Inheriting the spooky allure of its theme park equivalent, the film “Haunted Mansion” stands as the newest addition to a series of movies derived from Disneyland attractions. Notably, the wildly successful “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise also shares a similar origin, having started as a beloved Disneyland ride.
Disney’s talent lies in its capability to craft captivating stories from the most unconventional origins, transmuting a basic theme park ride into an expansive cinematic venture. In its transition from theme park to the big screen, Disney continues to fuse various forms of entertainment, thereby delivering Disneyland’s enchantment and awe to a global audience.
3. Ensemble Cast Brings Unique Characters to Life
Featuring a star-studded ensemble cast, the film encapsulates the spirit of Disney’s famous theme park attraction. LaKeith Stanfield appears as Ben, an expert in paranormal activities, with his own experience of the theme park ride inspiring his portrayal. Tiffany Haddish brings to life Harriet, a French Quarter psychic tracing her powerful ancestry. Owen Wilson, acclaimed for roles like ‘Loki’, depicts Father Kent, an unconventional priest with a specialty in exorcisms. Veteran actor Danny DeVito delivers a standout performance as Professor Bruce Davis, a character molded by DeVito’s encounters with the Haunted Mansion ride. Rosario Dawson embodies Gabbie, a physician and mother who relocates to a haunted house, a dream role for the lifelong Disney and Haunted Mansion enthusiast.
In supporting roles, Chase W. Dillon, a young talent, portrays Gabbie’s son Travis, forming close bonds with his co-stars during filming. Daniel Levy, the face of ‘Schitt’s Creek’, enacts Vic, the theatrical owner of a bed-and-breakfast tied to the Haunted Mansion. Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis stars as the iconic Madame Leota, a thrilling role for Curtis who has visited the Haunted Mansion ride numerous times. In a unique nod to Disney’s legacy, the character Alastair Crump echoes the last name of Disney Imagineer Rollie Crump, a key contributor to the original theme park attraction. Cameos from Hasan Minhaj, Marilu Henner, and comedian Jo Koy further enrich the “Haunted Mansion” film, making it a splendid cinematic tribute to one of Disney’s most cherished attractions.
4. Meticulous Set Design Breathes Life into the Haunted Mansion
One of the major highlights in the creation of Disney’s “Haunted Mansion” was the extensive effort put into designing and constructing the film sets, in a successful bid to transport the audience into a world that felt both surreal and true to the original theme park ride. It showcases a remarkable feat of set design, marrying elements of fantasy with authentic details from the original theme park ride. Helmed by an esteemed team including Production Designer Darren Gilford, Academy Award®-winning Set Decorator Victor J. Zolfo, and Property Master Steven B. Melton, the production involved crafting grandiose sets like a two-story façade of Gracey Manor, an expansive dining room, and Madame Leota’s secret séance room.
Disney’s Imagineers were instrumental in the process, providing a detailed guide to the theme park rides’ specifics, which inspired the film’s easter eggs and iconic elements such as the Stretching Room and the giant chandelier. The final product, achieved through detailed touchstones such as wallpaper, door handles, etchings, and dozens of paintings, aimed to reflect the feel of the original ride rather than being an exact replica.The cast lauded the production design for its meticulous details and vast expanses, which significantly contributed to their performances. The film also saw the recreation of the Crump House, modeled after the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, with elements of French and Rococo reflecting Crump’s personality. After wrapping up in Atlanta, the crew relocated to New Orleans, highlighting the city’s unique traditions, like the opening scene’s funeral procession. This synergy between set design and locale made “Haunted Mansion” a truly immersive cinematic experience.
5. The Art of Costume and Makeup Transforms Actors into Spectral Beings
An in-house atelier approach was adopted by Academy Award® nominated Costume Designer Jeffrey Kurland. He meticulously designed costumes that span from the late 1700s to the present day, ensuring authenticity to each period while adding his creative flair. The custom costumes were not confined to the principal cast, as he also brought to life the ghostly inhabitants of the mansion. Notably, Tiffany Haddish’s character, Harriet, was dressed in a blend of Louisiana Creole, Romanian gypsy, and neo-soul styles, enhanced with multi-colored head wraps and custom-made lace-up boots, while Owen Wilson’s character, a hipster priest, was fitted in custom-made black attire with red accents, topped with a vintage-inspired black velvet bowler hat and several talismans. While locked in the mansion, his costume shifted to a black chinoiserie style silk lounge robe worn over cream silk pajamas with a red knit beanie, exhibiting a different facet of his character. The task of transforming Jamie Lee Curtis into Madame Leota was a unique challenge, tackled by a team of dedicated artisans under Kurland, who painstakingly crafted every detail of her elaborate attire.
The realm of special effects makeup was expertly handled by Academy Award®-winning Makeup Designer Joel Harlow. He adapted seven of the original ride’s most memorable ghosts into cinematic characters, with actors spending around four hours each in hair and makeup. He ingeniously integrated a fluorescent pigment into the silicone prosthetics, giving the ghost actors a ghostly glow under the set lighting. Harlow, alongside the visual effects team, ensured a seamless blend of fantasy and reality, encapsulating the magical essence of the “Haunted Mansion.”
So, there you have it—5 spooktacular facts about Walt Disney Pictures’ “Haunted Mansion”. The next time you sit down to watch this film or ride the Disneyland attraction, you’ll have some behind-the-scenes secrets to share. Remember, there’s always room for one more… Are you brave enough to join the 999 happy haunts?

Parisi, who is not just an impersonator but a professional interpreter, was born in Argentina.

In 2018, Javier got in touch with Helen Anderson, the distinguished designer who created the classic leather caps for John Lennon throughout his career. Javier bought one of the limited-edition designs from Anderson via Instagram who posted Javier wearing the cap. Julian Lennon, John’s son, leaves a comment. “I love him!”
After that high-level exposure, Javier was invited to impersonate John Lennon for a musical play in Liverpool, England. His popularity soared in Europe and Argentina. He performed several acoustic shows throughout United Kingdom,at the “Summer Fest,” “International Beatle Week” and the Annual Beatles Convention, where he completed very successful performances.

A limited collection with a fresh take on the Chainsaw Man world
This UT collection of all-original designs brings together Chainsaw Man, a mighty hero who wields a chainsaw as he takes on enemies, with Kawamura’s “cut and rebuild” style. The lineup of men’s T-shirts is comprised of nine styles. For the graphic designs, Kawamura takes the original anime drawings and scenes, and gives them a new expression using his distinctive shredded art and collage style. In addition, both the short and long sleeve T-shirts have a street fashion style oversized silhouette jointly developed by Kawamura and UNIQLO. The striking art shines through, while a focus on ease of wearing completes this formidable collection. Kosuke Kawamura said: “I used a lot of the original anime art and scenes for this collection. Since the drawings are very detailed, it was easy to expand the range of ideas as design material, and I was able to try various collage styles and methods. Even in the rough original drawings, the pictures themselves are well finished, and I felt that they could be used as-is for T-shirt designs. My aim was to create designs that long-time fans of Chainsaw Man could enjoy as something a little different, and that people unfamiliar with the anime would want to wear as well.”

Fiery from its first five days of release in the Philippines, “Oppenheimer” grossed P19.018M alone in just 9 IMAX screens, now making it the highest-grossing IMAX release for 2023. From regular 2D screens it hauled another P38.74M cinemas nationwide. This makes it now the 2nd Biggest Saturday Opening for a Universal Pictures release (next to Fast X and ahead of The Super Mario Bros. Movie). It has also solidified its place here as the 3rd Biggest Weekend Opening for a Christopher Nolan film, after The Dark Knight Rises and The Dark Knight, but ahead of Batman Begins. Despite its R-16 rating and a limited market share, the first weekend box-office reflects a 650% increase in initial forecast that’s above most optimistic targets and is poised to reach P100M and beyond in the next days or weeks.
Best seen in IMAX, Christopher Nolan has strongly advocated for the big screen experience for all of his films. The filmmaker who pushed the limits of cinematic storytelling to tell epic stories about unlikely heroes and audacious schemes that examine the necessity, morality, and hubris of ambitious endeavor has successfully engaged the worldwide audience once again in his latest immersive cinematic work in Oppenheimer.
Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it. The film gathers together an extraordinary and massive cast that includes Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Benny Safdie and Josh Peck.
The film was shot exclusively with large format cameras—Panavision® 65mm and IMAX® 65mm. “What large-format photography gives you is clarity, first and foremost,” says Nolan. “It’s a format that allows the audience to become fully immersed in the story and in the reality that you’re taking them to. In the case of Oppenheimer, it’s a story of great scope and great scale and great span.”
“What I wanted to do was take the audience into the mind and the experience of a person who sat at the absolute center of the largest shift in history,” concludes Nolan. “Like it or not, J. Robert Oppenheimer is the most important person who ever lived. He made the world we live in, for better or for worse. And his story must be seen to be believed.”
From Universal Pictures International, Oppenheimer is now showing nationwide in 227 cinemas.
