Hollywood is seeing the continued rise of Brandon Sklenar, and the latest move proves the industry is betting big on his future. According to Deadline Hollywood, Sklenar has signed a first look deal with Lionsgate to produce feature films through his production banner Vista Lane Pictures. The deal arrives shortly after the strong global performance of The Housemaid, the thriller that starred Sklenar alongside Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. The film has reportedly grossed around 394 million dollars worldwide since its December release, making it one of the notable commercial successes tied to Sklenar’s recent career surge.

As sourced by Deadline, the agreement gives Lionsgate the first opportunity to develop and produce feature films created by Sklenar under Vista Lane Pictures. First look deals are common in Hollywood when studios want to secure long term creative partnerships with rising talent. It essentially means the studio gets the first chance to finance and distribute projects developed by the production company before they are offered elsewhere.

Lionsgate Motion Picture Group president Erin Westerman praised the actor while announcing the partnership. She described Sklenar as immensely talented and deeply committed to the craft, adding that his presence elevates every project he becomes part of. Westerman also noted that the studio was grateful for his work as Andrew in The Housemaid and that the collaboration reaffirmed how valuable he is as a creative partner.

Sklenar himself spoke about the inspiration behind launching Vista Lane Pictures. He said that films have always been his happy place since childhood and that he aims to create bold and exciting stories that provoke and inspire audiences. According to him, Lionsgate shares the same vision, which makes the partnership an exciting step forward for future projects.

Beyond The Housemaid, Sklenar has quietly built an impressive portfolio. He appeared in It Ends With Us, which reportedly earned nearly 350 million dollars worldwide. He also gained major recognition through the Taylor Sheridan series 1923, where he starred opposite Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. Earlier in his career, he also appeared in the war epic Midway, another Lionsgate production.

Sklenar’s upcoming slate continues to grow. He is currently filming the romantic thriller Vegas: A Love Story alongside Maika Monroe, Paul Dano, Michael Shannon, and Judy Greer. He is also expected to reunite with filmmaker Taylor Sheridan for the upcoming action thriller F.A.S.T., which Sheridan has written for Warner Bros..

The first look deal with Lionsgate signals a clear shift in Sklenar’s career trajectory. He is no longer just a rising actor but is now stepping into the producer space, building stories and projects through his own banner. With Vista Lane Pictures now aligned with Lionsgate, the partnership could lead to several new feature films in the coming years.

As reported by Deadline, the agreement was negotiated for Lionsgate by Dan Freedman, while Sklenar is represented by WME, Neon Kite, and Goodman Genow Schenkman Smelkinson and Christopher.

For Lionsgate, the deal secures a long term creative collaborator who is quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s emerging leading men. For Brandon Sklenar, it marks the beginning of a new chapter where he not only stars in films but also helps create them.

Aamir Khan recently launched the trailer of his son Junaid Khan’s upcoming film, Ek Din, with Sai Pallavi. In a recent interview, Khan opened up about the film and said that Junaid does not consult him before signing any project. He also called Junaid a ‘strong-willed’ person and added that he is more like a friend to his children, Junaid, Ira and Azad.

The Lagaan actor told Variety India, “As for Junaid, I think he is just like me! He has a sharp sense of cinema, a script, and editing, and he is quite strong-willed.” He continued, “And one more thing. Junaid does not consult me about anything he takes on. I believe he has signed two films, one of which is with Ektaa Kapoor. He decides these things himself, and that’s great.”

In the same interview, Khan was asked whether Ek Din is about Alzheimer’s condition, similar to Saiyaara, to which he rubbished the assumption and called the film ‘completely different.’ The actor also described the film as a classic love story that people have not seen in a long time.

Meanwhile, the trailer of Ek Din shows Junaid’s character explaining a fortune bell that grants a wish for true love when the bell is rung. As he speaks, he looks at Sai Pallavi’s character, Meera, and quietly wishes that she could be his. He says he wants his wish to come true even if it’s for one day. His wish does come true, but things go haywire soon after.

It is directed by Sunil Pandey and is based on the 2016 film One Day. While Ek Din is Junaid’s second theatrical release after Loveyapa, this film marks Sai Pallavi’s Bollywood debut. The film will be released in theatres on May 1.

Manuel Correa discusses using cutting-edge technology in his eight-year work on the doc, debuting at Copenhagen’s CPH:DOX, and how “modes of repression” are also becoming increasingly sophisticated. 

Pop singer Katy Perry recently shared a collection of personal photographs on Instagram, drawing attention online after the post included a few images featuring her boyfriend, Justin Trudeau. The photo carousel, uploaded on March 11, presented a mix of everyday moments, humorous snapshots and family scenes, giving followers a glimpse into the singer’s personal life. Perry captioned the post with the phrase, “You are the treasure you seek,” a message that accompanied the various photos included in the series.

The post began with a playful image of the 41-year-old singer taken at a dental clinic. The lighthearted photograph set the tone for the rest of the carousel, which contained a mixture of candid and spontaneous moments rather than carefully staged photos. Among the images were two pictures featuring Justin Trudeau, who appeared alongside Perry during a casual outing. In one photograph, Trudeau was shown holding a star-shaped pipe-cleaner wand while the pair were out eating together. Another image captured a humorous moment in which Perry rested her face against Trudeau’s cheek while making an exaggerated facial expression.

Several other photos in the carousel highlighted a variety of everyday scenes and objects. One image featured the popular animated character Hello Kitty lying on a bed. The picture included a caption that read, “Patiently waiting for my bf to finish his big boy business stuff so we can call,” adding to the humorous and informal tone of the post. The collection also included a number of images unrelated to the relationship itself, such as snapshots from Perry’s day-to-day life, internet memes and short quotes.

The singer also included photographs featuring her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom. In one picture, the five-year-old was seen walking through a snow-covered landscape. Another image showed the mother and daughter reading together, specifically a children’s book titled The Fly Who Flew Under The Sea written by Lauren Sánchez Bezos. These family moments were interspersed with other casual photos, including one showing Perry wearing a facial mask and another taken from inside her car after she noticed a nearby vehicle with the word “TEXTING” displayed on its license plate.

After the images were posted, many fans responded in the comments section with reactions to the candid moments shared by the singer. A number of users commented specifically on the photographs that included Justin Trudeau, noting the unusual pairing of a pop star and a former political leader. One fan wrote that it still felt surprising to see the two together but described them as a “cute” couple. Another user remarked that the post reflected Perry’s characteristic sense of humor, while others expressed that the singer appeared happy in the images.

Additional comments highlighted how casually the relationship appeared in the post, with one follower writing that it was interesting to see Perry “casually dating Trudeau.” Other fans focused on the overall tone of the photo dump, noting that the collection of images felt spontaneous and representative of Perry’s personality on social media. The singer has often used her Instagram account to share informal glimpses of her personal life, including family activities and humorous content.

The relationship between Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau first attracted public attention during the summer of 2025 when the two were reportedly seen together in Montreal. The sightings occurred not long after Trudeau’s separation from his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, with whom he had been married for 18 years. Later, Trudeau was also seen attending Perry’s concert in Montreal, which added further speculation about their relationship.

The couple eventually confirmed their relationship publicly in October 2025 when they were seen together at Crazy Horse Paris, a well-known cabaret venue in Paris. A few months later, in December, Perry shared photographs and videos from a vacation in Japan, effectively making the relationship official on Instagram.

Since then, the pair have occasionally appeared together in public or in social media posts. Perry’s recent photo carousel is another example of how she continues to share glimpses of her personal life with followers. While the post primarily focused on lighthearted moments from her daily routine, the inclusion of Trudeau in the images quickly became a point of discussion among fans and observers online.

After months of speculation about who could possibly fill the iconic red swimsuit of the nineties’ most legendary lifeguard franchise, the Baywatch TV series reboot has officially found its first heavy hitter. Brooks Nader, the Love Thy Nader star and recent Maxim cover model, is hitting the beach as the first confirmed lead in the upcoming Fox show.

While the original series famously relied on a specific brand of slow-motion nostalgia, this new iteration is looking to bring a more modern edge to the shore. Fox revealed that Nader, 29, is joining the cast for the reboot, set to premiere as part of the 2026-2027 season. Nader will be playing series regular Selene, alongside lead Stephen Amell’s Hobie Buchannon.

“Selene is the sharp-tongued Captain of the Zuma beach lifeguards,” Nader’s official character description reads. “While she is excellent at her job, she and Baywatch Captain Hobie Buchannon have a very different approach to saving lives that is a constant source of friction.”

“Never on good terms, their relationship only goes downhill after Hobie brings his daughter Charlie [Jessica Belkin] onto his team… and it becomes clear that their rivalry goes much deeper than lifeguarding,” it concludes. In addition to Nader, Amell and Belkin, other cast members include Hassie Harrison as Nat, Thaddeus LaGrone as Brad and David Chokachi, who is reprising his original role of Cody Madison.

The Louisiana-born model, actress and entrepreneur took to Instagram to confirm the news, signaling to her millions of followers that she is ready to dominate the surf. “I believed in this long before it made sense. Never give up, chase your dreams no matter how wild there are!!!!! @baywatchtv @foxtv LETS GO!”

The timing for Nader couldn’t be better. The former Dancing with the Stars standout is currently riding a massive wave of momentum following her recent Maxim cover story, which solidified her status as a multifaceted talent ready for prestige TV. And she still has her sights set on the big screen.

“I’d love to play a version of myself in a movie,” Nader previously told Maxim. “A crazy Southern girl who is living in the wild world of New York. Kind of like how Eva Longoria is pretty much herself in Desperate Housewives; she always said she didn’t even have to act!”

Directors Lia Hietala and Hannah Reinikainen say their new doc, premiering at Copenhagen, is about how identity is “shaped, tested, and rebuilt in the presence of friends, family, and the larger society.” 

This Ferrari 250 GTO may stand as the most expensive production car ever sold at auction, with one example of the race-homologated Prancing Horse having hammered for a record-setting $51.7 million in 2023. But of the billions of roadgoing automobiles produced since an engine-powered chassis made the horse and buggy obsolete, the undisputed holy grail—or perhaps the Mona Lisa, as Autoevolution characterizes it—is the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic.

The ultimate expression of the definitive, Le Mans-winning Bugatti Type 57 grand tourer incarnated founder Ettore Bugatti’s famous quote: “Nothing is too beautiful, nothing is too expensive.” While both vehicles share the same sophisticated 3.3-liter straight-eight power plant, Ettore’s son, Jean, designed the Atlantic to be a radically low-riding evolution defined by the Surbaissé (dropped) chassis, which saw the rear axle pass through the frame rather than under it. By adding a Roots-type supercharger, Jean boosted the output from around 135 to a staggering 210 horsepower, effectively creating what many argue is the world’s first “supercar” with a 125 mph top speed. Praised for its combination of performance engineering and Art Deco allure, the Atlantic’s design is marked by a raised, fin-like seam running vertically from the hinge in the split bonnet to the tail. Notably, the sheets of metal comprising the fin were joined with intentionally exposed rivets as a stylistic choice.

Only four of these cars were ever created, between 1936 and 1938. Jean Bugatti’s personal vehicle—nicknamed La Voiture Noire and tributed by the one-off 2019 Bugatti hypercar of the same name—went missing during WWII, and if it’s ever found, estimates suggest it could change hands for $100 million. Of the three extant cars, one Type 57SC Atlantic is owned by fashion magnate Ralph Lauren, another was built for British banker Victor Rothschild and currently co-owned by the later Peter Mullin and Wal-Mart heir Rob Walton, and a third resides in a Spanish collection.

So great is the legend of the Type 57SC Atlantic, even replicas are extremely desirable. Prolific collector Jay Leno has owned one for decades, and another recreation fetched six figures at a 2022 Bonhams auction. Italian model maker Marco Laviola’s motivation for creating the 1:8 scale replica, however, is pure and unfettered to financial desires.

“The Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic represents one of the absolute pinnacles of 20th-century automotive design,” he says. “It is not merely a rare car—it is a sculpture in motion. Its lines, the riveted dorsal seam, and its perfect proportions make it a timeless object. The model I created is a faithful replica of the example belonging to the private collection of Ralph Lauren, one of the most celebrated and valuable in the world.”

Laviola has garnered over 110,000 Instagram followers who peruse his feed for insights into his incredibly detailed, large-scale models of vehicles, including Fiat tractors, Riva yachts, Vespa mopeds, MotoGP race bikes, and rocket ships. But his true love “above all” he says, is “automobiles, both historic and modern. My primary passion is dedicated to vintage cars, whose charm is timeless and, today, impossible to replicate.” Below, learn more about Laviola’s Type 57SC Atlantic replica, process, and the famous Ferrari he’s currently cooking up:

Tell us about your process.

Each of my works begins as a digital project developed using 3D modeling software through an in-depth study of proportions, details, and mechanical components. The project then starts to take physical shape through 3D resin printing. Many internal components are not only printed but handcrafted by me using materials such as metal, wood, plastic, and rubber. For the upholstery, I often use ultra-thin genuine leather, carefully treated to achieve absolute realism and faithfully reproduced to scale, applied to seats, door panels, the center tunnel, and other details. I also create molds to produce certain body parts in metal: Everything must be as faithful as possible to the original, not only in form but also in emotional presence.

Each project does not end with the final assembled detail. Throughout the entire process, I share the work through my Instagram stories, transforming every phase into a visual narrative capable of evoking emotion. I do not simply show technical progress, but also the atmosphere of the work: the light, the details, the moments of concentration. I carefully select the music and calibrate images and rhythm to convey to my followers the same emotion I feel as the model comes to life. The final reveal is never sudden—it is the culmination of a journey shared day by day.

What inspired you to model this particular car?

With only four examples ever built, the Type 57SC Atlantic has become a symbol of rarity, vision, and bold engineering. The example from the Ralph Lauren collection that I reproduced represents the perfect balance between Art Deco elegance and technical innovation—an icon that continues to inspire designers and collectors around the world to this day.

The bodywork was produced using metal molds, while the interior is upholstered in leather; the dashboard and burl wood trim replicate the same tone as the original. I focused particularly on the engine: a 3.3-liter inline eight-cylinder unit capable of producing approximately 210 horsepower, paired with a four-speed gearbox—impressive figures for its era.

In every model I build, I dedicate great attention to the powertrain, refining it in the smallest details while constantly following reference images that remain in front of me throughout the entire process. Technology and craftsmanship intertwine in the final result, giving life to a scale replica capable of conveying the authentic charm of Bugatti, displayed under a glass case like a true work of art.

How did you conduct your research?

Regarding the bodywork and the engine, a lot of technical data, measurements, and even drawings can be found online. Of course, these always need to be adjusted and modified according to my needs and to the specific requirements of the model I’m building.

For the specific Ralph Lauren model, I tried to find as many archival images and videos as possible so I could create a solid photographic reference. That particular Bugatti owned by Ralph Lauren was actually modified by him personally, with both interior and exterior aesthetic changes, which essentially makes it a one-of-a-kind example.

What were the greatest challenges in modeling the car?

The main challenge was faithfully translating the digital project into a physical object with realistic materials, details, and mechanical precision. Above all, the scarcity of technical and photographic documentation related to the Ralph Lauren example required extensive research time.

Resin printing, handcrafted processes, the creation of molds for the metal bodywork, leather interiors, and burl wood finishes—every phase demanded extreme attention. In particular, I dedicated almost obsessive care to the engine bay and the engine itself. The true objective was to preserve the emotion and presence of the model, ensuring it would not be perceived merely as a technical replica, but as a unique and captivating object.

 Why the 1:8 scale?

The 1:8 scale is my preferred and consistent choice in my creations. It allows me to combine precision with a richness of physical detail—including functional interiors and metal bodywork—while maintaining a strong visual presence. It is the ideal dimension to transform a real vehicle into a high-quality scale artwork capable of conveying emotion to the viewer: Every detail is visible, recognizable, and enhanced, making the model a true collector’s piece.

Would you sell it?

Yes, a model of this level is intended exclusively for serious collectors and enthusiasts who understand the value of the complexity of the work, the research, and the craftsmanship involved. Each project is not produced in series: Even if I were to create a second example of the same model, it would still differ from the first. Every piece is unique and requires months of dedication. I would prefer not to go too much into detail regarding the exact sale figure, but it’s roughly around $10,000. Each project involves private negotiations and different conditions. Anyone who is interested is welcome to contact me directly to receive more information about available works and pricing.

What other projects can we expect from you?

Beyond other historic and modern automotive icons, I am working on a very ambitious project: a 1:8 scale replica of the Ferrari F40, created using extremely high-level materials such as carbon-fiber and Kevlar, solid anodized aluminum wheels machined from billet, and a real glass windshield—details never seen before in a model of any scale. This work holds special meaning for me: Part of the project was developed under the guidance of my dear friend and mentor, engineer Nicola Materazzi, who has since passed away. He was the father of the F40, one of the first hypercars in history, designed at Ferrari under his technical direction. His expertise and our friendship allowed me to create a model that is faithful to the original, yet also deeply personal—an authentic tribute to a Ferrari legend.

How did that F40 project come about?

It’s a car that, interestingly enough, I didn’t particularly like when I was a child. However, I began to truly appreciate it after meeting Materazzi. Over time we developed a friendship, and he guided me in the creation of this model, sharing valuable details and insights that helped shape a truly unique project.

I’m still working on it today. Unfortunately, Materazzi has since passed away, but I continue to carry the project forward thanks to what he taught me. The goal is not only to faithfully reproduce the shape of the real car but also to use materials that reflect those of the original vehicle—the first true hypercar ever built by Ferrari. The model will also be accompanied by a photographic booklet, featuring professional images, brief historical notes about my relationship with Materazzi, and some of the stories he shared with me about the F40. For now, I don’t want to reveal too much—I’d rather leave a few surprises for enthusiasts.

I still have to decide how many models will be produced, but it will certainly be a limited and numbered series. Anyone interested in following the progress of the project can do so through my Instagram channel, where I will share updates.

Frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger said “the timing of everything was just perfect,” as the band announced their 53-date ‘PCD Forever’ Tour. 

The teaser of Bhoot Bangla arrives with the promise of a reunion that once delivered one of Hindi cinema’s most beloved horror comedies. Akshay Kumar, Priyadarshan and Rajpal Yadav returning together should ideally spark curiosity. Instead, the teaser leaves behind a strong sense of déjà vu.

Almost everything in the trailer feels instantly recognizable. The creaking mansion, dim corridors, sudden supernatural hints followed by comic interruptions and exaggerated reaction shots all resemble the familiar grammar of Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The structure is nearly identical: build suspense, break it with slapstick, then repeat the rhythm.

Akshay Kumar’s presence also triggers comparisons. His confident, slightly eccentric persona in the teaser echoes the tone that made his earlier horror-comedy outing memorable. Rajpal Yadav’s glimpses add the expected dose of panic-driven slapstick, again leaning on the comic template audiences have already seen.

Priyadarshan’s trademark timing is visible, but the teaser suggests comfort with repetition rather than reinvention. The jokes, staging and tonal shifts seem designed to recreate a formula that once worked spectacularly rather than explore something new within the genre.

Of course, familiarity is not necessarily a flaw. Nostalgia often sells as effectively as novelty. But horror comedy in Hindi cinema has evolved over the past decade, with films attempting fresher worlds and sharper storytelling.

Based on the teaser alone, Bhoot Bangla feels less like a new haunting and more like a familiar spirit returning to the same mansion. Whether the film ultimately surprises audiences will depend on whether it hides something more inventive beneath its very recognizable surface.
