The end of the world was just the beginning. Now, survival is the destination. Premiering on April 24 exclusively on Lionsgate Play, Greenland: Migration takes audiences deeper into a gripping post-apocalyptic journey where resilience, family, and the search for safety collide. Picking up after the catastrophic comet event, the Garrity family leaves the safety of Greenland’s bunkers to embark on a perilous migration across a devastated world in search of a new home. Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin on their characters Led by Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, and Roman Griffin Davis, the film expands its emotional core while raising the stakes with new characters, unexpected alliances, and escalating dangers. Talking about his character John’s role in the bunker, Gerard Butler said, “He's able to build things, he's able to fix things, and that's been his job in this community, keeping a lot of those things going in the bunker. He also has taken it upon himself, which is a bit of a sacrifice, basically, because whenever you go out into the elements, even if you have a suit on, you're still getting pummeled with radiation, you're still getting a leakage of pollution into your lungs. But he goes out and he scavenges and he finds things that will help them back down in the bunker to fix things, whether it's a spanner or a pipe or whatever he can get." Speaking about her character Alison, Morena Baccarin said, "Alison is, I guess, much like myself, a no-BSer. She really doesn't beat around the bush. She's somebody that's fiercely protective of her family and really very driven to be a good person, a good member of the community. I really loved how strong Alison was, how she wasn't a damsel in distress, that she was fighting for her family and her survival and her kid. I think it's very interesting to see a very sort of, quote unquote, normal family going through extraordinary circumstances in a way that a lot of people in the world go through and don't necessarily get highlighted." Director's take Talking about the film’s themes, director Ric Roman Waugh said, “Greenland: Migration is the next chapter of the Garrity family. It explores survival, legacy, and what we pass on to future generations. It’s about not just surviving, but also what we leave behind.” Roman Griffin Davis shared what drew him to the sequel, “I enjoyed the first film, but what interested me more was my character’s journey. It was also an opportunity to work with a great team. Disaster films resonate because they reflect extreme versions of real-world struggles.”
17 April,2026 07:39 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentHollywood star Mark Wahlberg is a devout Catholic and shares that while he has always "tried to be an example" to his children, he is keen for them to make their own decisions when it comes to spirituality. The 54-year-old actor has Ella, Michael, Brendan, and Grace with wife Rhea Durham. He told Us Weekly magazine: “I’ve only tried to be an example to my kids and not force my faith on them. And hopefully they see that it really works for me, and they gravitate towards it on their own.” Wahlberg’s youngest daughter, Grace, recently celebrated her First Communion and he is "very, very happy" with the teenager's commitment to her faith, reports femalefirst.co.uk. He said: “After being baptised and making your communion, you’re actually making a commitment to pursue this relationship with God throughout your adult life. It’s a beautiful thing.” Meanwhile, the actor is known for his early morning gruelling workout regime and recently premiered his 4am Club Challenge series on YouTube. Wahlberg has dismissed people who don't believe he really does get up so early. He told E! News: “I really do this. I'll get up at three o'clock—if I get to bed at a decent time. I always try to get eight hours of sleep. This is my daily routine, and I try to get as much done before I go to work or before I'm getting the kids up.” While the actor feels some social media stars only show off their workouts "for the 'gram", he is keen for fans to see his authentic experiences. He said: “We're trying to share what we do and how we become successful, and we want to challenge people to be the best versions of themselves.” He hopes the 4am Club Challenge proves to be inspirational. The actor said: “There'll be a big content component to reward people and give them the recognition that they deserve for what they've accomplished in their fitness journey. And then inspire other people at home who look just like them who don't think it's possible. “It's not about what I'm doing, it's really about what you're doing, challenging people to be the best versions of themselves. Whenever your 4am is, that's all that matters. You get in there, you kill it and then you're gonna have a better chance of being successful at everything else that you do.” This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

17 April,2026 06:34 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSThe upcoming reboot of the legendary series Baywatch has added another familiar face to its line-up. Actress Erika Eleniak will reprise her role as Shauni McClain in a guest starring capacity. The actress starred in the first two seasons of the show before departing at the beginning of Season 3, reports ‘Variety’. A former Baywatch lifeguard, Shauni is now a Santa Monica city councilwoman who returns to the beach to help Hobie Buchannon (played by Stephen Amell) kick off the annual “Beach Games” between reigning champions of Baywatch versus the Coast Guard. As per ‘Variety’, she has joined returning cast member David Chokachi, who is reprising the role of Cody Madison, as well as an ensemble that includes Amell, Jessica Belkin as Charlie Vale, Shay Mitchell as Trina, Hassie Harrison as Nat, Thaddeus LaGrone as Brad, Brooks Nader as Selene, Noah Beck as Luke, Livvy Dunne as Grace and Nadia Gray as Lisa. Decades after the original ‘Baywatch’ became one of the largest television properties of all time, launching David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson to global stardom, Fox and Fremantle decided to revive the franchise with a series that continues the storyline of the original. Matt Nix is the showrunner, executive producing alongside director McG, Michael Berk, Greg Bonann, Doug Schwartz, Dante Di Loreto and Mike Horowitz. The reboot received a California state tax incentive to shoot in Los Angeles, and Fox hosted an open casting call in February to attract new talent. ‘Baywatch’ blended action, sun-soaked visuals, and melodrama along California’s beaches. The show followed lifeguards rescuing swimmers, tackling crime, and navigating personal lives. It is known for its iconic slow-motion beach runs and catchy theme, it became one of the most-watched TV shows worldwide in the 1990s. Despite mixed critical reviews, its cultural impact and global syndication success made it a television phenomenon. ‘Baywatch’ is set to premiere on Fox as part of the 2026-2027 season.

17 April,2026 06:31 PM IST | Los Angeles | IANSAuteur Christopher Nolan has shared that his upcoming film The Odyssey was a "nightmare to film, but in all the right ways”. The 55-year-old filmmaker's upcoming blockbuster brings Homer's epic ancient Greek story to the big screen and he explained that he had an "amazing time" shooting the movie during a hectic production process across Morocco, Greece, Italy, Iceland and Scotland, reports ‘Female First UK’. Speaking at a presentation for The Odyssey at CinemaCon, Nolan said, "This has been a nightmare to film, but in all the right ways”. The Oppenheimer director reserved praise for The Odyssey's leading man, Matt Damon, whom he referred to as his "partner on this journey". Nolan shared, "He was there on the boats, up the mountains, in the caves, in the beating sunshine, sideways rain, wind. You'll be pleased to know how difficult it was. It was meant to be; that's the nature of the story”. As per ‘Female First UK’, the attendees at CinemaCon in Las Vegas got an extended glimpse of The Odyssey, which will be released in July, and Nolan explained that he decided to adapt Homer's story for the cinema because it "has fascinated generation after generation". The auteur said, "Why The Odyssey? The Odyssey is a story that has fascinated generation after generation for 3,000 years. It's not a story. It's the story”. The picture tells the story of Odysseus, the Greek king of Ithaca, and his long and perilous journey home to reunite with his wife Penelope (played by Anne Hathaway) following the Trojan War and Nolan quipped that the film's cast, which also includes Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya and Charlize Theron, is so talent-filled that he couldn't bring all of the stars to CinemaCon. The director said, "How do you go about bringing this to a modern audience? Obviously, we start with the cast. It'll be quicker for me to tell you who isn't in the movie. I would have brought them all here, but the massive weight of extraordinary talent would have collapsed the stage”. The Odyssey is Nolan's first movie to be shot entirely with Imax cameras.

17 April,2026 05:29 PM IST | Los Angeles | IANSHollywood action star Tom Cruise is finally returning for Top Gun 3, the makers confirmed at CinemaCon. According to Variety, Paramount announced Tom Cruise's return to the franchise along with producer Jerry Bruckheimer. They also confirmed the film is officially in the works. A sequel to Joseph Kosinski's 2022 blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, the third instalment was first revealed to be in development in 2024 with writer Ehren Kruger. 'Maverick' was a blockbuster hit, even during the times when the theatres struggled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It collected USD 1.5 billion at the global box office with a budget of USD 170 million. Cruise also returned for the second instalment, 36 years after he debuted as Lieutenant Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell in the 1986 original. His character went back to the famous flight school to teach a new batch of pilots for a dangerous mission. It is then that he crosses paths with Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), the son of his best friend who died in the first film. Besides Cruise and Teller, the film also featured Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Monica Barbaro, Danny Ramirez, Jay Ellis, Greg Tarzan Davis and Manny Jacinto. Notably, in May 2025, Christopher McQuarrie, the director of Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning, shared updates on his upcoming collaborations with Tom Cruise, including the highly anticipated Top Gun 3. As per Deadline, in an interview, McQuarrie revealed that the sequel to Top Gun: Maverick is "already in the bag," with a framework for the story already in place. "It wasn't hard," McQuarrie said, adding, "I thought it would be, and that's a good place to go from is you walk into the room going, 'Come on, what are we going to do?'" McQuarrie emphasised that the challenge lies not in developing the story but in executing it and capturing the emotional depth that makes the films resonate.

17 April,2026 05:16 PM IST | Los Angeles | ANIRecent online chatter has sparked speculation about a possible split between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco after a viral Instagram story fueled breakup rumours. However, a closer look at the situation suggests that the claims may be exaggerated or taken out of context. Selena Gomez's cryptic post sparks divorce rumours The rumours began circulating when a screenshot of an alleged Instagram story started making rounds on social media. The post, which many users believed hinted at trouble in Gomez and Blanco’s relationship, quickly went viral, leading fans to speculate about a possible breakup or even a “divorce” despite the couple not being married. The language used in the viral post added to the confusion, prompting widespread discussion across platforms. However, there is no concrete evidence to support the claims of a split. Neither Selena Gomez nor Benny Blanco has made any official statement confirming a breakup. In fact, the viral story itself appears questionable, with no verified source confirming that it was actually posted by either of them. This raises the possibility that the screenshot may have been misinterpreted, edited, or entirely fabricated. Fans react to the buzz Social media often plays a significant role in amplifying unverified information, and this situation seems to be a classic example. Fans and followers were quick to jump to conclusions without waiting for confirmation from credible sources. As a result, speculation spread rapidly, blurring the line between fact and assumption. It’s also worth noting that celebrities frequently become targets of baseless rumours, especially when their personal lives are under constant public scrutiny. Gomez, in particular, has often addressed the pressures of living in the spotlight and dealing with misinformation online. This latest incident highlights how easily narratives can spiral based on minimal or unreliable information. Until either Selena Gomez or Benny Blanco addresses the rumours directly, there is no solid reason to believe that they have broken up. For now, the viral Instagram story remains unverified, and the claims surrounding it should be treated with caution. In the age of instant sharing, this serves as a reminder to approach viral content critically and rely on confirmed updates rather than speculation.
