Paramount Pictures, whose new film “Bob Marley: One Love” was recently released worldwide”, is actively working on the next biopic dedicated to the popular musical group Bee Gees. According to insiders, the post of director is offered to Ridley Scott, negotiations with whom are already underway. In case of successful completion of the deal, Ridley Scott and Michael Pruss (Scott Free), Graham King (GK Films), as well as Stacey Snyder will share the duties of executive producers. John Logan, who worked with Ridley Scott on “Gladiator” and “Alien: Covenant,” wrote the script.

Insiders claim that the choice fell on Ridley Scott for several reasons. Firstly, he has just completed work on “Gladiator 2” and studio executives were very impressed with the preview footage. Secondly, the British director is known for quickly moving from one project to another, so the studio decided not to delay and immediately presented a fresh version of the script.

Zendaya, one of the lead roles in the sci-fi action film “Dune 2”, shocked her fans with an unusual outfit, which she chose for the premiere in London.

The actress appeared on the red carpet in a metallised “robot suit”, emphasising her figure and significantly exposing some protruding parts of her body, including breasts and buttocks.

The vintage couture design, which debuted on the runway at Paris Haute Couture Week back in 1995, is made from silver material that looks like armour, with deep PVC-covered cut-outs throughout.

Thus, he almost repeated the achievement of another project of Sony Pictures studio based on comics about the universe of Spider-Man – “Morbius”, which earned on the day of release in wide distribution 5.7 million dollars. In its case, it led to first weekend collections of $39 million. In total, “Morbius” managed to boast $167 million, which, with a production budget of $75 million, can safely be considered a failure.
