Forget Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson, the real star of Jurassic World Rebirth is Delores the Dinosaur.
Don’t believe me? Even Rupert Friend said he “would not be surprised if she is everyone’s favorite character in the film.” She is mine, and I have not seen the film that comes out on Wednesday.
The puppy-sized dino is an Aquilops, and sadly, she doesn’t exist off of the screen. But I am going to dream she does, and I will want to own one. Thankfully, there are a lot of toys in her image. But they are not the same.
Why can’t someone clone the fossil they found and bring her to life? What else are scientists working on since this administration is making them stop working on vaccines and cures for things like cancer?
Universal Pictures released the first trailer for Wicked For Good, and November 21st (170 days) is too far away from today.
The visuals make it look like it will be another sensational masterpiece like Wicked is. Plus, the story of Elphaba and Glenda’s friendship is going to bring friends together every time they watch the film because we all want that one friend who matters.
Here is the description of Wicked For Good from Universal: Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).
Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.
As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
While I wait for the sequel to the prequel of The Wizard of Oz to come out, I will watch Wicked another 100 times.
BTW I think that they should have released this trailer during the Tonys, which is going to be hosted by Erivo.
Wicked is defying gravity on Peacock on March 21st. And we are getting more than just the 2-hour and 45-minute film which was shown in movie theaters.

Last season, Bridgerton was all about Daphne Bridgerton finding love. On March 25th, it is all about her brother, Lord Anthony Bridgerton, doing the same. Will he find love just like his sister? It looks like from the trailer that he finds it and then some on the Netflix RomDran.
Or, as Netflix puts it, the second season of Bridgerton follows Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), the eldest Bridgerton sibling and Viscount, as he sets out to find a suitable wife. Driven by his duty to uphold the family name, Anthony’s search for a debutante who meets his impossible standards seems ill-fated until Kate (Simone Ashley) and her younger sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran) Sharma arrive from India. When Anthony begins to court Edwina, Kate discovers the true nature of his intentions — a true love match is not high on his priority list — and decides to do everything in her power to stop the union. But in doing so, Kate and Anthony’s verbal sparring matches only bring them closer together, complicating matters on both sides. Across Grosvenor Square, the Featheringtons must welcome the newest heir to their estate while Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) continues to navigate the ton whilst keeping her deepest secret from the people closest to her.
There were three reasons to watch Bridgerton; the story, the sex scenes with the Duke of Hastings, and Regé-Jean Page, who played him. Well, today, Netflix got rid of two of those reasons. That is because they announced that Page will not be returning for the second season.
Lady Whistledown’s SOCIETY PAPERS
Dearest Readers,
While all eyes turn to Lord Anthony Bridgerton’s quest to find a Viscountess, we bid adieu to Rege-Jean Page, who so triumphantly played the Duke of Hastings. We’ll miss Simon’s presence onscreen, but he will always be a part of the Bridgerton family. Daphne will remain a devoted wife and sister, helping her brother navigate the upcoming social season and what it has to offer — more intrigue and romance than my readers may be able to bear.
Yours Truly, Lady Whistledown
No offense to Jonathan Bailey, who plays Anthony Bridgerton, your sex scenes were nice, but they were not naughty like Page’s. Therefore, you should spend some time working on it if you want us to watch season two.
Why does Shonda Rhimes always get rid of the good-looking, sexy ones?
UPDATE: Regé-Jean Page responded to the news, “Pleasure and a privilege! An honour to be a member of the family – on and off screen, cast, crew and incredible fans – the love is real and will just keep growing ❤️💫”
At least he got to host Saturday Night Live because of this role.
