Exclusive: Cabrini and Sound of Freedom Director Alejandro Monteverde Rejects the 'Faith-Based' Label and Calls It 'Cruel'
==========
Alejandro Monteverde, director of Cabrini and Sound of Freedom, rejects the 'faith-based' label for his films and believes labels are divisive and exclude audiences for political purposes. Monteverde was attracted to the story of Maria Francesca Cabrini, an indomitable woman who fought against racism, sexism, and xenophobia to save orphaned Italian children in New York City in 1889. He emphasizes that Mother Cabrini's mission was about human dignity and caring for those without a voice, rather than immigration.

He aims to make movies for everybody and hopes that his films can create social dialogues and unite people. Monteverde praises the lead actress, Cristiana Dell'Anna, for capturing the compassion and fighting spirit of Mother Cabrini.

Why You Still Can't Stream Godzilla Minus One Despite Its Oscar Win
==========
Godzilla Minus One, despite winning an Oscar and achieving massive success at the box office, is not available to stream or rent. The delay in releasing the film for home viewing may be due to a complicated rights deal between Toho and Legendary Pictures. Fans may have to wait until after the release of Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire to stream or purchase Godzilla Minus One. The film became the first in the franchise to win an Academy Award and grossed $107 million at the worldwide box office. The film is unavailable for streaming and no home video release date has been set. Toho has confirmed a home video release in Japan on May 1, 2024, but no date has been given for the United States. The complicated rights deal between Toho and Legendary Pictures may be the reason for the delay in availability. Toho retains the ability to make its own Godzilla movies but with limitations on releasing them in the same year as a Legendary production. It is speculated that the delay in releasing Godzilla Minus One for home viewing is to avoid competition with Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. There is currently no release date for streaming or home video in the United States, but it is expected to be sometime in 2024. The film may be available on various streaming services, including HBO Max, Netflix, Peacock, and Paramount+. The delay in availability may result in a surge of interest and viewership once the film is released for streaming and home video. Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire will be released in theaters on March 29, 2024.

Michael Keaton Reveals Whether He Would Return as Batman: 'Never Say Never'
==========
Michael Keaton has addressed the possibility of donning the cape and cowl again as Batman. Keaton's iconic Batman role was highlighted at the Oscars, sparking interest in seeing more of his iteration in the future. Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Keaton admitted that he could be open to another comeback as The Dark Knight if the right project comes along. However, after the box office failure of 'The Flash' and the upcoming reboot of the DC cinematic universe, it is unlikely that Keaton will be reprising the role anytime soon. Keaton recently reprised his role as Vulture in 'Morbius', but the actor revealed that he knows as much about the movie as the rest of us. At the Oscars, Keaton channeled Batman when he was called out by his former co-stars Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The moment was a highlight of the 96th Academy Awards, indicating that audiences would love to see more of Keaton's Batman in the future. Keaton will next return to his role as Beetlejuice in the long-awaited sequel, 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice', set to release in 2024.

==========
The real identity of the author(s) of the novel 'Argylle' has been revealed as a collaboration between authors Terry Hayes and Tammy Cohen, disappointing those who speculated it would be a big Hollywood name like Taylor Swift or J.K.

Are We Ready for a Harry Potter Reboot?
==========
Warner Brothers Discovery announced in April 2023 that a television series adaptation of the Harry Potter children's series was in the works. The franchise has earned over $7.5 billion at the worldwide box office and is one of the most successful film franchises in history. While a reboot was inevitable, some question if it is too soon to go back to Hogwarts, especially with the recent disappointing Fantastic Beasts franchise. The biggest threat to the series may lie in J.K. Rowling's involvement, as her controversial views have caused many fans to reconsider their support. A television adaptation could address issues of inclusion and representation, but with Rowling as an executive producer, these improvements are unlikely. The reboot is seen by some as a blatant cash grab from a studio unwilling to leave a penny on the floor. The 8-part film series was widely acclaimed by fans, and those who want more can turn to the books or audiobooks. The reboot is criticized for adding nothing new and relying heavily on the original series. The involvement of Rowling and her transphobic rhetoric makes it impossible to separate the art from the artist. By continuing to produce content in the Wizarding World, Warner Bros. Discovery is seen as supporting Rowling's harmful views. Overall, the article explores the arguments for and against a Harry Potter reboot and questions if audiences are truly ready for it.

The estate and family of George Carlin have not publicly commented on the release. The AI program introduces the special by impersonating Carlin and discussing the topics it covers.
