Superman actor David Corenswet films STB video during first visit to Singapore in October

SINGAPORE – Superman was recently in town for the first time – and, boy, did he fly high. American actor David Corenswet, who played the DC superhero in the 2025 movie Superman, visited Singapore during the Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025 in October. During that time, he also visited many local attractions, which are captured in a new video filmed in collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), released on Nov 21 via Corenswet's Instagram account as well as STB's Visit Singapore social media pages. In his post, he wrote that "y ou've gotta experience these top-tier Singapore experiences for yourself".

There, he soared in the attraction's wind tunnel with local indoor skydiving world champion Kai Minejima-Lee. He also reached new heights amid the lush treetops of Mandai Rainforest Resort ...

George Clooney reflects on challenges of being a movie star in Hollywood

George Clooney has recently reflected on challenges of being a movie star in Hollywood. The Wolfs actor was in conversation with Scottish broadcaster Edith Bowman at the British Film Institute's large theatre on the south bank of the River Thames on November 21. "Every opportunity to have an interview or to have a conversation could result in the end of your career," said the 64-year-old, per Variety. George pointed out that he's "not on Twitter or Instagram or any of social media accounts because I drink". Batman & Robin actor quipped, "You know, 3 a.m., my Mother Teresa joke might not play so well when I wake up the next day." George admitted that his children keep him grounded, saying, "My son, for Halloween, dresses up as Batman. He has no idea that I'm Batman. And I said, 'You know, I was Batman,' and he's like,...

Rupert Murdoch’s Last Hurrah: Conquering Hollywood With the California Post

Papps previously served as News Corp Australia’s Los Angeles correspondent from 2004 to 2006, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor and the LA Lakers were enduring the breakup of the Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal dynasty. On a recent fall afternoon, Poole and Papps are in an upbeat mood in the New York Post newsroom. In his corner office on the 10th floor of the News Corp building, between sips of English breakfast tea, Poole reels off the coverage areas the California Post will hammer: criminal justice, big government, burdensome regulations, high taxes, homelessness, mental health. “They are not really talked about there in any meaningful way by the outlets, in the way that we would do it at least,” Poole says, in a not unsubtle jab at the Los Angeles Times. Poole has an ambition for the New York Post to be “America’s local paper,” and it became profitabl e, he says, about four years ago. Now the bean counters at News Corp have devised a five-year business pla...

Commentary: Hollywood has lost the plot on telling stories

Algorithms may indeed be corrupting what we interact with, creating a feedback loop of surfacing things we already enjoy. But I don't believe – as some have argued – that the love of nostalgia is a sickness, brought on by the infantilisation of society, "extended adolescence", or too much time spent online (for one thing, Asian societies are just as online, if not more so). And of course, Japan loves its familiar series, too – this year alone has seen the 28th Detective Conan movie about a sleuth trapped in the body of a schoolboy, and a series in the long-running military sci-fi Gundam property. The hit Godzilla Minus One shows that Japan also loves going back to the well. But these are balanced out by new ideas. Hollywood's inability to move forward seems more like a function of business, in particular the frenetic pace of studio consolidation. That continues with the recently approved merger of Paramount Global and Skydance Media; Marvel and DC, the ...

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Vanity Fair's latest " Hollywood Issue " declares the end of the idealized, hypermasculine movie star, arguing that today's leading men have ushered in a new era of "vulnerability" and "accessibility."

(Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images for ELLE) By Gavin Boyle LANDMAN actor Ali Larter explained that she prefers keeping her family out of Hollywood because it gives her time to actually be present with her children, rather than having her attention constantly drawn away by industry happenings. "We just didn't want to [be constantly gone at charity events and parties]. We wanna be with our children," Larter told Fox News. "And so that's when I think the biggest change was we came back [to Idaho] after that summer, and we just made a go for it and said, 'Let's try this and see if it works.'" Larter and her husband's made the de...

Hollywood talent agency CAA says OpenAI's Sora poses risk to creators' rights

Hollywood's premier talent agency, Creative Artists Agency, said on Thursday OpenAI is exposing artists to "significant risk" through its new AI video-generating tool Sora. The Los Angeles-based CAA, founded in 1975, represents thousands of actors, directors and music artists and athletes. "The question is, does OpenAI and its partner companies believe that humans, writers, artists, actors, directors, producers, musicians, and athletes deserve to be compensated and credited for the work they create?" CAA said in a statement sent to Reuters on Thursday. OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside regular business hours. Sora, launched in September as a standalone app initially in the U.S. and Canada, lets users create and share short AI videos that can be spun from copyrighted content and shared to social media-like streams. The app has quickly gained popularity. ChatGPT creator OpenAI will soon introduce controls allowing the...

‘Our Value Was Never Disrespected’: Hollywood Career Producers Are Battling Actors, Greedy Managers, Penny-Pinching Execs and Stolen Credits to Survive

The struggle of the modern Hollywood producer was crystallized in a bit from this year's Emmy awards. Host Nate Bargatze opened the broadcast with an old-timey sketch spoofing the creation of the television set, in which he played an exaggerated version of real-life inventor Philo Farnsworth. On a Frankenstein-esque laboratory set, Bargatze, flanked by "Saturday Night Live" players Bowen Yang and Mikey Day, predicted how a crude little box would come to captivate billions of viewers around the world. One of the "SNL" boys asked who would make the programming. Bargatze responded: "Actors, writers, directors and, most importantly, producers." Day followed up, "And what does the producer do, sir?" Bargatze stared into the camera and deadpanned, "Nobody knows!" The punchline got a big laugh, as it has for decades when Hollywood feigns ignorance about the role of capital-P Producers. And yet the entertainment industry runs on their ...
