Today's entertainment news is split between genuine excitement and messy controversy. The first reactions to Zach Cregger's 'Resident Evil' reboot are overwhelmingly positive, while Macklemore issues a lengthy apology for an offensive costume and AOC weighs in on his alleged censorship. Elsewhere, 'American Idol' is moving to Georgia, and Amazon is taking on TikTok with short-form news clips on Prime Video.
The biggest buzz today comes from a video game adaptation that seems to have broken the curse.
Early press reactions for Zach Cregger's 'Resident Evil' reboot are calling it a cinematic spectacle and one of the best video game adaptations ever made. The horror blockbuster is being positioned as a must-see on the biggest screen possible.
The rapper is at the center of two stories: an apology for an offensive costume and a political controversy involving Robert Kraft.
Macklewood apologized after wearing a costume with a prosthetic nose and fake hair that drew accusations of anti-Semitism, with Seth Rogen among those calling him out publicly.
AOC claims Robert Kraft coordinated with stadium owners to censor Macklemore's pro-Palestinian comments, framing it as a pattern of censorship by powerful venue owners rather than an isolated incident.
Behind the scenes, production shifts and platform expansions are reshaping the landscape.
After more than two decades in Hollywood, 'American Idol' is moving production to Georgia, lured by a 20% transferable film tax credit and an additional 10% uplift for promotional value.
Amazon is adding curated playlists of short-form local and national news clips to Prime Video, positioning the platform to compete with TikTok for quick-hit news consumption.
