Is Alec Baldwin to Blame for a Fatal Shooting on Set?
variety.com: Alec Baldwin’s temper is the stuff of Hollywood legend. His volatile behavior on the set of “The Edge” — he refused to shave his beard — left such an impression on producer Art Linson that he made a movie about it, “What Just Happened,” with Bruce Willis caricaturing Baldwin as a tantrum-throwing star.
The show must go on, heat wave edition: How outdoor theater handles extreme weather
Datebook: If in recent years Northern California wildfires brought attention to the difficulty of mounting outdoor theater amid poor air quality, 2024 is already posing challenges to the Bay Area’s open-air theaters for the heat alone.

'Stepping into a video game' in Vegas with Electric Playhouse CEO
attractionsmagazine.com: Electric Playhouse isn’t your average afternoon outing. The 10,000-square-foot facility in Las Vegas, Nev. leverages body-mapping technology and motion sensors to create what it calls a “digital twin” of every guest.

The Courtroom Battle to Make DEI DOA
www.hollywoodreporter.com: The DEI dominoes started falling — or at least wobbling — last summer. There was a Supreme Court ruling all but gutting affirmative action on college campuses. In Hollywood, there was the mass exodus of diversity officers — at Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney, Netflix and the Motion Picture Academy. Meanwhile, conservative activists launched a barrage of anti-DEI lawsuits with corporations in the crosshairs, like the one filed in March against CBS and Paramount by former (and possibly future) Trump aide Stephen Miller on behalf of a white SEAL Team writer who was allegedly denied advancement because of DEI policies.

They will offer food, shops, and immersive experiences based on and inspired by Netflix shows and films. Your local zombie mall could have a new lease on life as a Netflix theme park.
