If you still feel the need for speed, Paramount Pictures has good news for you: Top Gun 3 is officially happening, with Tom Cruise back as daring pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. The announcement came Thursday (Apr 16) at the studio's showcase at CinemaCon, an annual week-long summit at which Hollywood studios present their biggest upcoming movies to theater owners and press.   Paramount film co-head Josh Greenstein said Top Gun 3 was "officially in development with a script well underway", adding that Cruise would reunite with producer Jerry Bruckheimer on the project.

Legendary director Steven Spielberg publicly credited Cruise with helping to get moviegoers back into theatres after the COVID-19 pandemic with the long-awaited sequel. Cruise was not present at the presentation but did narrate a film used to open the event, which focused on the studio's commitment to releasing films on the big screen. At the end, Cruise, sitting atop the water tower on the studio's lot, says: "The future looks great from here."

"Once we combine with Warner Brothers, we're going to make a minimum of 30 films annually," Ellison said in a pledge to theater owners. "Long live the movies." Paramount has launched a massive US$111 billion bid to take over Warner Bros, topping a rival bid from Netflix. But many in Hollywood fear the mega-merger will lead to cuts that will forever change the film industry. Also on Paramount's upcoming slate is a film adaptation of the popular video game Call Of Duty, due in theatres in June 2028.   Attendees also saw early footage from Heart Of The Beast, a thriller starring Brad Pitt as a military veteran who must survive a plane crash in Alaska with his combat dog. And Johnny Depp showed up to offer a preview of Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, the latest adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens tale, in which he plays the grumpy Scrooge. Source: AFP/hq

Retired porn star Asia Carrera is on track to becoming a practicing lawyer in Texas. The former adult entertainer took to social media this week to provide fans with a major update in her legal journey.   “I passed the bar exam!!!!” she wrote, raking in thousands of likes. “Asia Esquire, y’all!!!!!” Carrera, who was born Jessica Steinhauser, said she took the “2-day 12-hour” test for the second time in Waco back in February.   “It was an unnerving feeling to look around this massive auditorium of almost 1000 leagle beagles all hunched over their laptops and typing furiously, and knowing ‘These are the people I’ve got to beat,’ But I think it went well!” she wrote on Facebook. Carrera went on to reveal that she nearly scored well enough during her first attempt, but she felt much more “confident” this time around. “I only missed passing by 2 points last time (268 out of 270), but I was still wobbly with the law and had borderline passing scores during my practice exams.   "This time I knew my (expletive) down cold, and I scored higher than 91% of my Barbri Bar Prep peers on the final exam,” she added. TMZ confirmed Carrera was among those who were admitted to The State Bar of Texas. She initially didn’t even want to be a lawyer, only to prove she could become one, according to the gossip site. She is also a member of Mensa — boasting an IQ of 156 — and she previously earned her masters degree in education. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
