The Super Bowl weekend delivered a flurry of entertainment news, including the release of the first trailer for "Minions & Monsters," the seventh installment in the "Despicable Me" franchise, and a surprise teaser for David Fincher's sequel to Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," titled "The Adventures of Cliff Booth." The trailer for "Minions & Monsters," set in 1920s Hollywood, showcases the return of the beloved yellow creatures and their supervillain antics, while the teaser offered a first look at Brad Pitt reprising his role as stuntman Cliff Booth.
The "Minions & Monsters" trailer, released by Universal Pictures during the Super Bowl, revealed the film's setting and plot. According to Variety, the film, produced by Illumination, is a sequel to "Minions: The Rise of Gru" (2022). The trailer promises a comedic take on the monster movie genre, with the Minions putting their own spin on classic tropes.
Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled the surprise first look at "The Adventures of Cliff Booth" during the Super Bowl. The teaser offered a glimpse of Brad Pitt's return as Cliff Booth, the stuntman character from the original film.
Beyond the Super Bowl announcements, the entertainment world saw other significant developments. A24's "Marty Supreme" topped the box office, and France is revising its tax incentives to attract Hollywood productions, according to multiple sources cited by Variety. In the music world, Mandy, Indiana's new album "URGH," featuring French lyrics, is generating significant buzz, as reported by The Verge.
The AI industry is also making headlines. A startup called Fable, led by Edward Saatchi, is attempting to recreate lost footage from Orson Welles' "The Magnificent Ambersons" using generative AI, according to TechCrunch. This project, which has already garnered skepticism, aims to restore the film's original vision by utilizing live-action filming and digital recreations.
