The film’s director, Ilya Naishuller, reportedly has no intention of resting on his laurels after Nobody’s success, which saw an impressive $26 million domestic box office haul. “There’s plenty of stories that can be told in this world, with the character Hutch,” Naishuller said in an interview with movie news site JoBlo. “I know that Derek has begun work on the sequel.” His statement refers to Derek Kolstad, who wrote the original film and has apparently already started to sculpt what will eventually become Hutch’s second big shooty adventure....

On Monday, the Republican Governor announced that health care workers who were coronavirus-positive but not showing symptoms could work in COVID units at licensed health care facilities, if they follow precautions outlined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the state’s department of Health. Workers showing symptoms were not permitted on the units. Officials hope the measure will relieve some of the stress on health systems amid a rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations....

“Our policy will not focus on achieving a grand bargain, nor will it rely on strategic patience,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said to reporters on Air Force One, indicating that President Biden had rejected both Obama-style neglect and Trump-style engagement. In words that could mean anything or nothing at all, Psaki referred to consultation with “allies and partners at every step along the way,” “practical progress” and a “calibrated practical approach that is open to and will explore diplomacy....

Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the Korean Workers’ Party Central Committee, reported Tuesday (Wednesday local time) that North Korea’s Academy of National Defense Science “conducted a test launch of the newly developed hypersonic missile ‘Hwasong-8’” in Toyang-ni, Ryongrim County, Chagang Province. Hypersonic speeds reach or exceed Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound, and glide vehicles offer enhanced maneuverability that would mark yet another advancement for nuclear-armed North Korea’s growing arsenal of weapons the country argues were purely deterrence purposes....

Norwich have been unable to move up from rock bottom in the league standings and face an uphill task to retain their top-flight status, with just six games to go. They were unable to maintain their momentum last time around, falling to a 3-2 loss at Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo’s hat-trick condemned them to a loss after they avoided losses in their previous two games. Newcastle, meanwhile, continued their ascend up the table, making it three wins in a row....

As a cautionary tale, look no farther than Britain. Before 9/11, in response to fears of IRA terrorism, Britain wired itself up with so many surveillance cameras that it now resembles the set of the movie “The Truman Show.” Instead of being perceived as an Orwellian intrusion, the cameras have proved extremely popular. Yet, though they were initially justified as a way of combating terrorism, the cameras have come to be used for very different purposes: 700 cameras now record the license plate of every car that enters central London during peak hours to confirm that drivers have paid a traffic-abatement tax....

Both Stones (groin) and De Bruyne (hamstring) were substituted in last week’s win at Bournemouth with knocks, although manager Guardiola said at the time that the England defender’s withdrawal looked to be merely precautionary. De Bruyne was also upbeat about his own fitness, saying the ailment was “not so bad”. Neither player will face Watford on Saturday, but Premier League leaders City were boosted by Laporte’s return to training this week, with the defender – injured in the EFL Cup final – initially ruled out until the end of the month....

The game is set in Vinyl City, a futuristic metropolis controlled by No Straight Roads, a huge EDM record label.

Stroud hit Garrett Wilson with the go-ahead 56-yard TD with 5:12 remaining in the third quarter, a lead the Buckeyes never gave back....

In the past few years, Hawley has become one of the most interesting writers working in television. First, he managed to do the seemingly impossible: create an anthology TV show out of the 1995 Coen brothers movie Fargo. In all four seasons of the show, Hawley has managed to replicate the mythos of the Coens’ dark-comedy while also adding to the established story universe. Hawley is also responsible for the FX series Legion, which saw actor Dan Stevens portray the titular X-Men comic book character for three seasons....

Their apparent feud started earlier in July when Schnapp revealed to his millions of TikTok followers that Doja Cat had a crush on his Stranger Things co-star Joseph Quinn —aka, Eddie Munson. Schnapp hadn’t asked for Doja Cat’s permission to share this information with the public, and in her own social media video, she called the move by Schnapp some “weasel s***.” Now, though, Schnapp confirmed to his followers that he’s reached out to Doja Cat and apologized....

Nobody premiered back in March 2021, and the film became quite popular among critics and viewers who had no issue embracing Odenkirk as an action star. Nobody earned nearly $58 million on a modest $16M budget, and rumors of a sequel surfaced shortly after. Most notably, Odenkirk thanked the role for helping him get into top-level physical shape, which may have played its hand in him surviving the heart attack he suffered while shooting the final season of Better Call Saul....

Part of what made him compelling — beyond how special a basketball player he was — was how average he seemed. On plenty of levels, it was like watching your neighbor or social studies teacher or brother-in-law moonlight as one of the best athletes of his era.
