Steven Spielberg’s next event movie with Universal will no longer go on May 15, 2026, rather open on Friday, June 12 next year, taking over a dating slot previously occupied by the Oscar-winning Daniels’ next untitled picture.

We hear that development of the Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert directed/written movie is coming along, it just needs more time. A new date will be announced in the near future in what is the duo’s highly anticipated follow-up to their multi-Oscar winning martial arts fantasia Everything Everywhere All at Once which minted north of $143M worldwide and resuscitated arthouse cinemas post pandemic.

Meanwhile, Spielberg’s next pic, which is under lock and key in regards to storyline, and rumored to be about UFOs, is in a better spot on the calendar, sharing the weekend with the reboot of Scary Movie on June 12 and in the wake of Amazon MGM Studios’ Masters of the Universe and precede Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 5 by a week. Altogether a less competitive window for the movie’s audience. On its previous date, the Spielberg directed, David Koepp written feature would have been bookended by the new Avengers: Doomsday two weeks before and The Mandalorian and Grogu Star Wars movie one week after.

Spielberg’s latest will star Emmy and Golden Globe winner Josh O’Connor (Challengers, The Crown), SAG winner and Oscar nominee Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place), two-time Oscar nominee Colman Domingo (Sing Sing, Rustin), Oscar winner Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, Kingsman franchise) and Eve Hewson (Bad Sisters, The Perfect Couple). Kristie Macosko Krieger will produce for Amblin Entertainment.

Couple watched neighbours 'land-grab' their garden on camera while holidaying in Australia
Rosa Bell and her husband Murray say they looked on in horror as the boundary fence was removed, their patio was dug up, shed torn down and trees were chopped away by contractors working for their neighbours. The dispute was sparked when The Bells applied for an extension to the side on their three-bed detached home in Tadworth in the UK and as part of the application raised concern about an overhanging guttering pipe and garage wall. But it escalated when Rosa and Murray were visiting their daughter in Australia and they their neighbours claimed a total of 1.2 meters at one end and 76cm at the other end of the garden as their own. Rosa said the council and police won't take any action and she is left to pursue the matter through civil court.

Trump says unfair to US if Musk builds factory in India
NEW DELHI (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump has said that if Tesla were to build a factory in India to circumvent that country's tariffs, it would be "unfair" to the U.S., in an interview with Fox News which aired on Tuesday. Trump called out India's high duty on cars during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the U.S. last week, but agreed to work towards an early trade deal and resolve their standoff over tariffs. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has long criticised India for having import tariffs of around 100% on EVs which protect local automakers such as Tata Motors in the world's third largest auto market, where EV adoption is still at a nascent stage.
