The affluent L.A. neighborhood of Brentwood, where actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were found dead inside their home, has been the scene of a number of high-profile Hollywood tragedies.

Reiner could “code switch from directing actors into political strategy,” one friend recalled. LOS ANGELES — What qualifies as political activism in Hollywood usually starts and ends with writing a big check.

Authorities were called the storied Hollywood director's home on Sunday and found the bodies of a man, 78, and a woman, 68.

Generative AI video technology is not yet good enough for anyone to make an entire feature-length movie. But Bekmambetov felt compelled to try. He adapted The Man With a Shattered World, a book about a young soldier who sustains a traumatic brain injury in battle and the efforts to recover his memories.

There's a good chance that his reign in entertainment is about to come to a close when Warner Bros. Discovery sells. The only question is his legacy.

Several Hollywood unions, including the Writers Guild of America and Teamsters, have expressed serious concerns over a potential sale of Warner Bros. Discovery or its assets to Netflix or Paramount.

Alison Dumbell, a co-founder of Upstage with experience in Bollywood and Los Angeles, said she has noticed more demands for “characters that are specifically Korean” than generic “East Asian” ones from Western producers. She attributes that shift partly to the global popularity of South Korean entertainment.

Tributes rolled in late Sunday for Rob Reiner — whose warm, empathetic work as a director and actor made him a pillar of Hollywood for decades — as investigators worked to determine what led to the deaths of Mr. Reiner and his wife, Michele.

Favorites include an Arctic-set heartwarmer, the second and final season of 'Andor,' a pair of new animated gems, a bold historical drama and a star-studded Hollywood satire.
