If U.S. lawsuits are already very cinematic, the one that pitted Gwyneth Paltrow against retired optometrist Terry Sanders earlier this year was certainly one that would look great on screen. Hence, a production company has decided to turn that ski accident lawsuit, which the actress and businesswoman eventually won, into a documentary. In fact, the lawsuit settled a collision between them on a Utah ski slope at Deer Valley Resort in 2016. Sanders, a 76-year-old retiree, sued the performer for $300,000 claiming she had left him with a concussion, four broken ribs and emotional distress. Gwyneth, for her part, countersued him demanding a single dollar and that he pay her attorneys' fees.

Due to the actors' strike in Hollywood, all U.S. studio productions are expected to be shut down soon, with the exception of House of the Dragon. That's right, House of the Dragon will continue with the filming of its second season, regardless of the actors' strike.

Not really. The production continues for a good reason.

In the future, July 5, 2023 will be remembered as an important date in the history of African animation: that's when 'Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire', an amazing science fiction anthology with which Disney+ wanted to give the alternative to creators from Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe. All of them answer with personality to the question: "What does the future of Africa look like from an African perspective?". Taken together, the collection is a new milestone in Afrofuturism, the movement that emerged in the United States in the 1990s that uses science fiction and fantasy to address issues of the continent's diaspora.
