Death and aging are the universal glue; everything decays, and everyone gets old, until all our lights fade out. Senility and the suffering of aging has made for some great horror films in the past (we're specifically thinking of the excellent Relic from 2020), but it looks like the upcoming horror film The Elderly is going to take the cake (the one with 90 candles on it).

Even with Leonardo DiCaprio's star power, the first round of the box office competition goes to Taylor Swift. The singing sensation’s concert film made over twice as much money as director Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon did on Thursday. What’s even more interesting is that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is entering its second weekend of release, while Scorsese’s three-hour+ epic is debuting this weekend. But the novelty of being a new movie still wasn't enough for Killers of the Flower Moon to win over The Eras Tour on Thursday.

Leonardo DiCaprio could have squared off against the Sanderson sisters in Hocus Pocus. Today, the A-list Hollywood talent is currently starring in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, but back in 1993 director Kenny Ortega met with DiCaprio while casting the part of Max in Hocus Pocus. Ortega thought DiCaprio “was just amazing,” but the filmmaker knew going in that he had no chance to land the up-and-coming actor. Ortega said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:
Don’t expect something quite as earth-shattering as Barbenheimer when Martin Scorsese and Taylor Swift go head-to-head this weekend in theaters. Swift’s concert movie, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, enters its second weekend of release after making a mind-boggling $123.5 million worldwide (per Box Office Mojo). And Scorsese’s highly anticipated Killers of the Flower Moon finally descends on cinemas. But as good as the three-hour+ epic might turn out to be, Scorsese is likely going to have to settle for second place at the box office.
Despite the Sanderson sisters’ attempts to suck the souls out of Salem’s children, plenty of Hocus Pocus’ magic made the film’s final cut back in 1993.

Ortega said in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly:

What a difference six years make. In 2017, actor Timothée Chalamet was still climbing the ladder toward his eventual success in Hollywood with roles in Interstellar and Lady Bird to his credit. But it was playing the lead in director Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name that arguably catapulted the young actor to prominence. And Chalamet’s “disorienting” reaction to sexual allegations against his on-screen love interest and co-star Armie Hammer is understandable. Chalamet talked about how he felt when he learned of the accusations against Hammer in an interview with GQ:

Speaking to News 18, Aamir Khan said, "Junaid is now entering Bollywood as a producer like my father. With a new director and new team, I am happy with his work. I am doing a cameo in his movie for 5 minutes."
Talking about Junaid Khan’s interest in theatre and being an introverted, shy child, Aamir shared, “He is very interested in theatre. Junaid ke baare mein, main aapko bataun toh woh bahut he zaheen hai. Class mein joh bacha first aata hai na, joh bhi subject pucho toh har cheez ka jawab aata hai, uss type ka bacha hai, Junaid. Lekin jab woh bada ho raha tha, 10th mein aaya toh Reena aur main kaafi concerned aur pareshan the ki woh academics mein, padhai-likhai mein bahut tez tha, har subject mein, lekin woh logo se baat-cheet karne mein bohot sharmata that [About Junaid, what can I say? Let me tell you that he is very intelligent. Junaid was the first person in the class to answer whatever subject he was asked. But when he was growing up, when he was in 10th, Reena and I were very concerned and worried that he was very good in academics, in studies, in every subject, but he was very shy in talking to people].”
Talking about how Junaid wants to be a self-made person, Aamir adds, “Actually he is very introverted, Junaid joh hai, aapne shayad uski photo bhi nahi dekhi hogi. Bahut saare log bolte hain ki humne aapke bete ka chehra hi nahi dekha. He is very shy, woh jyada bahar nahi jata, woh alag kisam ka banda hai. Jaise ke abhi woh 30 saal ka hai, aur matlab bachpan se jaise har parents chahate hain ki woh apne baccho ke liye behtar se behtar cheez karein, toh main chaha raha tha ki main uske liye jab woh school jaye, kahin bhi ghumne jaaye toh main gaadi le loon and aaj tak usne mujhko allow nahi kiya gaadi lene ke liye. Woh aaj tak public transport use karta hai, bus mein jata hai, train mein jata hai. Abhi 2-3 mahine pehle woh, Pondicherry mein tha; usne kaha, 'Papa main jaa raha hoon Bangalore mere dost ki shaadi hai'. Toh I said, 'Flight kitne baje ki hai?' And he said, 'Nahi, main overnight bus mein jaa raha hoon, state bus mein.' Toh uska totally, apna apna khud ka andaaz hai. He is a very independent person, he likes to live life in his own way and I am very proud of him because he wants to be a self-made person. Toh woh khud apne aap har cheez karta hai, woh theatre karta hai, pichle chaar paanch saal se [Actually he is very introverted. You might not have even seen his photo. Many people have said that we have not seen your son's face. He is very shy, he doesn't show much, he is a different kind of person. Now he is 30 years old, and every parent since childhood wants to do the best for their children, so I wanted to be there for him when he went to school, wherever he went. I wanted to buy him a car and till today he has not allowed me to purchase him the car. Till today he uses public transport, travels by bus, travels by train. He was in Pondicherry 2-3 months ago; He said, 'Papa, I am going to Bangalore because it is my friend's wedding.' So I said, 'What time is the flight?' And he said, 'No, I am travelling in the main overnight bus, but in the state bus.' So that's totally his own style. He is a very independent person, he likes to live life in his own way and I am very proud of him because he wants to be a self-made person. So he himself does his own thing, he does theatre, since last four-five years].”
When asked by the anchor as to how he does theatre as an introvert, Aamir clarifies, “Introvert hai, creative hai, lekin matlab woh party-warty mein nahi jata. Kaam mein introvert nahi hai, kaam mein ek dam josh, kaam karta hai, lekin jyada bahar nahi jata. But something happened in his life actually, which changed him and this is a very odd thing, bahut chhoti cheez bhi hai, Jab college usne join kiya 11th mein toh, bade achhe marks laye the, top college mein gaya lekin, mujhe phikar thi issi baat ki. Lekin ek hafte mein, maine dekha ki uska behaviour change ho raha hai dheere dheere, aur maine pucha ki kya hua toh usne ek club join kiya tha, ‘Rotaract Club’, jaise Rotary club hota hai na, waise Rotaract club join kiya usne. Aur uss Rotaract club join karne ke baad, usme itne activities hote hain, social cheeze organise karte hein bacche, college ke events organise karte hein, 365 din mein kuch unke 400 events hote hain, woh ek saal mein maine usme badlav dekha. I think that meeting children his age, interacting with them, and working on the streets with everyone, really made him confident and that is a big change in him. Toh woh itna introvert tha ki mujhe takleef hoti thi, lekin ab mujhe lagta hai ki woh sahi ho gaya, usne film produce kar li toh ab toh tension hi nahi hai [He is an introvert, he is creative, but that means he does not go to parties, he is not an introvert in his work. He has enthusiasm for his work. But something happened in his life actually, which changed him and this is a very odd thing. He went to college in 11th grade. But within a week, I noticed that his behaviour was gradually changing, and I asked him what had happened so he had joined a club, ‘Rotaract Club’, just like Rotary club is, so he had joined Rotaract Club. After joining our Rotaract club, they were doing so many activities, organizing social things for children, organizing college events. They had about 400 events in 365 days, that is the change I have seen in a change in him in a year. I think that meeting children his age, interacting with them, and working on the streets with everyone, really made him confident and that is a big change in him. Then he was so introverted that it used to bother me, but now I feel that he has done the right thing. He has produced a film and now there is no tension].”

My family is worried about how things are going to escalate. I felt it is necessary to talk about it in my social media post. I cannot reveal where I am right now, due to security reasons, neither can I tell you which members are stuck in Israel. I have just been getting a lot of communal hate after my post, and it is shocking that people are failing to empathise with innocent lives. They fail to understand that it is the innocent civilians who die. This is a terror attack, same like what happened in Mumbai, 26/11.”
She concluded by adding that she is currently keeping everything including her current residence confidential owing to security reasons.

“Whatever you do, don’t fall asleep.” Nancy Thompson’s (Heather Langenkamp) words went unheeded in writer/director Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). It’s been nearly 40 years since the horror classic hit cinemas for the first time. And The Boogeyman’s (2023) director Rob Savage would love to dream up a way to breathe new life into the Freddy Krueger franchise, which he refers to as a “dream project.” Savage said in an interview with Screen Rant:
Nancy Thompson is a one-of-a-kind horror heroine. Heather Langenkamp landed the role of Freddy Krueger’s (Robert Englund) formidable foe in writer/director Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) nearly 40 years ago. And over the decades, Langenkamp has been offered the opportunity to play other horror-centric parts thanks to her wonderful performance in the Nightmare series. But she likened all those other scary film roles to a “Taco Bell burrito” on the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast. Langenkamp said:
“I’m your boyfriend now, Nancy.” A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) taunts Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp), with those famous words, before he sucks her boyfriend Glen into a bed and turns him into a bright-red fountain of blood! Glen was, of course, the first feature film appearance for Hollywood A-lister Johnny Depp, and Langenkamp recalls the famous actor being a pleasure to work with during the original A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Langenkamp said during an interview on the Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast:
