Gambling School, also known as Kakegurui is a manga series written by Homura Kawamoto and drawn by Tōru Naomura. The story takes place in a prestigious academy attended by wealthy students who have adopted their own hierarchy based on their gambling skills. The manga has been published since March 2014, and there is also an anime adaptation that currently has two seasons (24 episodes), as well as a prequel manga. Kakegurui is one of the more popular series outside the mainstream works, and it seems that the popularity of the series inspired Netflix to produce a live-action series based on the Kakegurui manga and anime. The series will be titled BET and it has been officially announced recently!
To make it clear, BET won’t be a direct live-action adaptation of Kakegurui, so it is not like Cowboy Bebop or One Piece; instead, it will be a standalone live-action series that is...

Hunter McKnight finished in ninth place on Survivor 46, and now he has a video showing what happened after his torch was snuffed.
Hunter looked like someone who could win Survivor 46 early in the season. But it just wasn’t meant to be, as he also became a threat to many players.
Despite having an Immunity Idol in his pocket, Hunter got voted out at a pivotal Tribal Council on Day 17. He finished in ninth place and became the third jury member.
On finale night, Hunter voted for Charlie Davis to win. He was one of only three people who voted for Charlie, and Kenzie Petty became the Survivor 46 winner.
We didn’t see much of Ponderosa as the season progressed, as the production team stopped releasing footage.

There is a lot of Star Wars trivia that ends up being scraps of story beats that were left on the cutting room floor. From alternate reveals on scripts to protect the original story to more recent deleted scenes (like the one this article is about to discuss), Star Wars behind-the-scenes lore is rich with some of the most hilarious moments in the history of the franchise that had to be cut for the sake of better storytelling.

One such deleted scene comes from the final season of The Clone Wars, where Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex of the 501’s Clone Battalion are on their way to work with Clone Force 99, a batch of non-regular clones with desirable mutations.

Former President Barack Obama made a surprise appearance at the White House state dinner on Thursday. The list of distinguished guests included former President and First Lady Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, actor LeVar Burton, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and more. Around 500 people attended the event on the White House’s South Lawn.
The White House welcomed Kenyan President William Ruto and first lady Rachel Ruto. Other notable Kenyan figures attended, as did the Rutos’ three daughters. President Joe Biden honored the Rutos in his toast and quoted former President Jimmy Carter‘s 1980 speech when another Kenyan president was invited to the White House.
“Neighbors do not share a border but share beliefs,” Biden said. Biden’s speech honored the alliance between the United States and Kenya. A state dinner is one of the most significant ways a president can acknowledge the importance of a foreign power.

Hoffman Family Gold Season 3 will mark the end of an era for the popular Discovery Channel series. That’s because it’s the last time three generations of the family are working together. The premiere, which airs June 14, sees the Hoffman men arrive in Alaska to mine the most promising claim they’ve ever had. It’s bittersweet however as Todd’s father, Jack, announces this would be his final season. The patriarch was on the first eight seasons of Gold Rush, as well as this spinoff. Adding to the pressure is winter fast approaching, meaning the Hoffman crew are under the gun to devise a plan to triple their output and mine 300 ounces before the ground freezes over. They view it as their legacy and livelihood is on the line. This all comes after an emotionally draining Season 2 for Todd Hoffman where the father-son relationship between him and Hunter...

"Star Trek" has just added a new captain to Starfleet's prestigious ranks, and she's definitely worthy of wearing the uniform. Even as the franchise is undergoing some change on the television side of things, as "Discovery" speeds headlong towards its last couple of episodes in its final season and the animated "Lower Decks" is similarly coming to a close, fans will have another new series to look forward to -- and no less than an Oscar-winning actor is now attached as the lead.
In a tweet posted earlier today from the official account, Paramount announced that "Starfleet Academy" has found its captain in Holly Hunter. Her character will actually serve as both "captain and chancellor" for the new Paramount+ streaming series, which was first revealed to be in the works back in March of 2023 and is set to depict the famous space-faring school for new Starfleet officers-in-training.

The Star Trek universe, cosmic ballet that it is, goes on — in addition to a film franchise reboot from Simon Kinberg, Paramount has announced a new live-action series starring (holy crap) Holly Hunter, titled Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
Hunter, late of Mr. Mayor and Succession (though she has more credits than we can count), will play the captain and chancellor of Starfleet Academy. "It feels like we’ve spent our entire lives watching Holly Hunter be a stone-cold genius,” said co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau (Nancy Drew) of the Emmy and Oscar winner. “To have her extraordinary authenticity, fearlessness, sense of humor, and across the board brilliance leading the charge on Starfleet Academy is a gift to all of us, and to the enduring legacy of Star Trek."...

“Another idol, another blindside.” Such seems to be the prevailing theme in episode 11 of Survivor 46. This time, it was Venus Vafa who fell victim to the notorious idol curse, delivering yet another unforgettable moment. It began with Venus’s dire warning: The worst thing would be if I went home with an idol in my pocket, lamented Venus. Alas, that’s precisely what transpired as her own missteps led to her downfall. A Third Time’s a Charm Perhaps unsurprisingly, Venus was the third person recently to leave with an idol in their possession, following Hunter and Tiff. As Charlie Davis

Survivor 46 set a new record this week. It isn’t a record that is a good thing, either, as it makes this year’s Survivor contestants look poor strategically. This record shows that more people have gone home in one season — who could have saved themselves — than in any previous season of the show.
Here is the new Survivor 46 record that was set which makes this season a little disappointing for many fans.
Survivor 46 Sets Record With Q’s Elimination
On this week’s episode of Survivor, Maria and Charlie were suddenly on opposite sides of the fence. While the two have worked together this entire season, they decided it was time to go into business for themselves. However, Charlie chose not to target Maria. Instead, he targeted Q.

Spider-Man: Far From Home introduced audiences to Mysterio, one of Spider-Man’s most important and dastardly villains. Jake Gyllenhaal’s portrayal of the character had audiences believing that the character was genuinely heroic, even those who thought they knew how the character was in the comics. However, the film also introduced another important character into the MCU: Spider-Man’s very first antagonist from way back in The Amazing Spider-Man #1.
A still from Spider-Man: Far From Home/Marvel Studios
Dmitri Smerdyakov is the oldest antagonist that Spider-Man ever faced, better known as The Chameleon. Half-brother to Kraven the Hunter, the character has had a long history with Spider-Man, created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Dmitri was present in Spider-Man: Far From Home as a background character, appearing in several shots as a close associate of Nick Fury.

The legacy of the Survivor 46 cast is one of playing without advantages.
Survivor 46 had Hidden Immunity Idols, with some fun twists on how the players acquired them.
But the Survivor 46 castaways weren’t keen on actually playing those Idols.
Instead, many players wanted to keep those Idols hidden for an extended period. Even when they knew they were at risk of being voted out.
Many episode segments featured Idol holders speaking about getting through a particular vote and then using their Idol later in the game.
It became a running joke for host Jeff Probst that the chaotic Tribal Councils and smoke screens required him to have snacks and a relaxed setting to sit back and enjoy the mess.

This year’s Cannes competition began with a film set in a working-class environment where a young woman with a single mother dreamed of escaping it all through dance. It was Agathe Riedinger’s Wild Diamond, but squint the eyes and forget the sunny coastal scenery and you could have been watching Andrea Arnold’s Fish Tank, a winner of the jury prize here fifteen years ago. Arnold now returns to the Croisette with Bird, remarkably just her third narrative film since and her closest to it, in many ways––up-and-coming stars next to non-professional actors, kitchen-sink realism, great music, sketchy dudes––although this time with Franz Rogowski playing a queer-coded Mary Poppins who might be a seagull.
Bird stars Nykiya Adams as Bailey, a young girl living with her father, Bug (a tattooed Barry Keoghan in a touching performance), in a free-spirited community house in a British coastal town.

After prancing through the hallways showing his man-ness at the end of Saltburn last year, Barry Keoghan is back with a another illustrious ditty performance in Bird. In the Andrea Arnold movie that had its world premiere Thursday night at the Cannes Film Festival, Keoghan plays a young father, and at one moment he croons an off-key version of Blur’s “The Universal” in what is a sweet moment with dance involved.
For the actor, music is part of the full commitment to the roles he plays.
“I don’t think I can dance. I’m a bad dancer,” the Oscar-nominated actor confessed during a post-premiere press conference in Cannes on Friday. “I think the beauty of dancing on screen is the effort to try.”

Eight years ago, the writer-director Andrea Arnold packed up her handheld-camera brand of kitchen-sink British austerity and took it across the pond to make “American Honey,” a movie about a wolf pack of kids in a van who seemed to incarnate the tumult of the 21st century. The movie, crafted in a style that I thought of as hip-hop Dardenne brothers, was an indie explosion that felt like a landmark. Now, though, in “Bird,” the first dramatic feature that Arnold has made since, she’s back to chronicling the miserablism of aimless, scroungy British young folk who experience their lives as a dead zone. Forgive me if I wish she hadn’t left the party so soon.
For years, Arnold has been a Cannes darling, and a critics’ darling too. So I expect to be out of the loop when I say that “Bird,” which premiered at Cannes today, doesn...

Children forced to grow up too fast understand the pained nature of powerlessness like few others. This is true of the pre-teen at the center of director Andre Arnold’s “Bird,” Bailey (Nykiya Adams). Born and bred in the small town of Gravesend, just 20 miles from the hustle and bustle of London, the 12-year-old lives in a heavily graffitied council block alongside her far too young father, tatted hopeful druglord Bug (Barry Keoghan) and older brother, Hunter (Jason Buda).

British auteur Andrea Arnold follows up her last feature, the poignant, non-verbal slice-of-farmyard-life that is the documentary Cow, with a new member of her cinematic menagerie: drama Bird, an uplifting competitor for Cannes’ Palme d’Or.
With mostly human characters and actual dialogue, in some ways this is taxonomically more like her gritty-as-asphalt, early social-realist work, especially Fish Tank and Oscar-winning short Wasp, which, like Bird, were shot in the southerly county of Kent, U.K., where Arnold grew up. But then suddenly, out of the milieu’s marshy semi-urban landscape of empty beer cans, cigarette butts, domestic abuse and despair, the film takes magical-realist flight and transforms into something unlike anything Arnold’s done before. Thanks to the director’s magisterial knack with actors (especially non-professionals such as terrific adolescent discovery Nykiya Adams, who, as the protagonist, is in nearly every frame of the film), the result is quite entrancing.

Andrea Arnold was last in Cannes with Cow in 2021, a documentary about a bovine’s pitiful existence on a farm from birth to death. Her new film, Bird, might switch animal classifications — and return her to narrative features about human beings — but there’s connective tissue between the two. Once more, Arnold is perfecting her meandering journey through marginalized existences.
This time, we’re in Gravesend, in Kent, a estuary town east of London, in the dying days of summer, when the grass has yellowed but the sweaty heat hasn’t quite abated. Bailey (Nykiya Adams) is a 12-year-old mixed-race girl who is old beyond her years, as everyone in her chaotic community seems to be. Her father Bug (Barry Keoghan) is barely twice her age; her 14-year-old half brother Hunter (Jason Buda) is a masked vigilante, teaming up with a similarly pint-sized gang to take revenge against anyone they...

There is only one Andrea Arnold, as much as her contemporaries in Europe and beyond try to imitate her particular style: emotionally heightened social realism with often first-time actors playing characters not far from their real selves. That itself started in the 1950s with British kitchen sink realism. Yet Arnold has done much to imbue it with a radical poetry that finds the beauty in a hardscrabble life, from a volatile East London teenager with hip-hop ambitions in “Fish Tank” (2009) to the rumbling road odyssey “American Honey” (2016) that found Arnold shooting in the United States for the first time.
Her latest film “Bird,” continuing a tradition for one-word titles centered around animalia Arnold started in 2001 with her short film “Dog” and more recently with the documentary “Cow,” is a departure for Arnold in a key way: This sensitively drawn if opaque coming-of-age fable about 12-year-old Bailey (newcomer Nykiya Adams) uses,...

Fear reached dizzying new heights in Lionsgate’s Fall, a survival thriller from the producers of 47 Meters Down that was released in August 2022. Its surprise success means there are not one but two sequels on the way, and today, the Spierig Brothers have been announced to direct Fall 2.
Michael and Peter Spierig (Lionsgate’s Jigsaw, Winchester, Daybreakers) are set to direct the sequel. Scott Mann, who directed and co-wrote the first film, is returning to co-write Fall 2 with Jonathan Frank.

With British director Andrea Arnold you never know quite what to expect. Her previous outing was in 2021 with the documentary Cow which detailed an animal’s existence from birth to death.
With Bird she’s back to her more gritty social-realist dramas such as Fish Tank and Red Road, dealing with a dysfunctional family and how 12-year-old Bailey (a knock-out début performance from Nyklya Adams) copes with an older brother Hunter (Jason Edward Buda) and her dad Bug (Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan), who has troubles of his own.
In emotional age he doesn’t seem that much older than the children, but is planning an 'official' wedding, to the embarrassment of Bailey.
It’s set in Gravesend in Kent in a graffiti strewn apartment block where Bailey retreats into her now little world in a curtain-covered bed. To seek solace she shoots videos on her phone - mainly seagulls and anyone she happens.

5 Characters We Could See In Prime Video's Spider-Man Noir - Main Image
MGM+ and Amazon Prime Video recently announced a new live-action adaptation of Spider-Man Noir. In addition to Nicolas Cage's portrayal of the alternate version of Spider-Man, several other characters could appear in the Noir series.
Set in 1930s New York City, fans are about to see a different Spider-Man in Noir. Compared to the usual bright red-and-blue Spider suit, Spider-Noir wears an all-black ensemble to tell a darker tale of the famous Wall Crawler.
But instead of using webs and sticking to the walls, he will be a gun-toting vigilante who prefers to parkour. In the place of supervillains, he will be fighting against corrupt politicians, crooked cops, and gangsters in his hometown of New York City.
So, here are the five characters we could see in Prime Video’s upcoming Spider-Man Noir.
