When Beyoncé unveiled the American flag-bearing cover of her latest album, Act ii: Cowboy Carter, some heralded the imagery as a “reclamation” of the flag’s symbolism, while others pointed to its connection to Texas’ Black Cowboys and Rodeo culture. Others, however, saw the flag as a symbol of America’s history of racism and imperialism, particularly fraught with the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The sentiment trails the outrage stoked by her silence on “Break My Soul” being adopted as a war cry by pro-Idf Israelis in December.

Back in June, MGM hired Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) to develop and direct a new movie based on director John Badham's 1983 thriller, War Games, which starred Matthew Broderick as a computer prodigy who almost starts World War III when he hacks into a military supercomputer. At the time, Gordon predicted that it would be "a long time" before the movie would be ready to go into production because they still had to "write it and then cast it." While it's likely still far from the casting stage, at least the project has progressed to the writing stage as Deadline has reported MGM has hired TV news producer-turned screenwriter Noah Oppenheim (Hardball, Today Show) to pen the script.
