Jimmy Fallon learned a valuable lesson on a recent episode of The Tonight Show. That lesson is to never challenge Felicity Jones to a fight, even if it's a fake one because she will take you down hard.
Jones, who plays Jyn Erso in this month's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, had to go through combat training for the part and demonstrated those skills against Fallon in an impromptu fight scene.
"I did a lot of Kung Fu. I had a wonderful teacher called Master Yu Lee, who was my Kung Fu teacher, and it was many hours of devotion and practice and doing it over and over again, and I wanted to make Jyn a badass."

The Star Trek franchise continues to grow with the addition of
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, and the new series is gearing up for filming. Star Trek received a breath of fresh air on Paramount+, with
Star Trek: Discovery,
Star Trek: Lower Decks,
Picard, and
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds all finding success. Even more content is on the way, most notably in the form of a young adult series titled
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. What sets
Starfleet Academy apart from its predecessors is it takes place in the 32nd century, meaning it shouldn't have to worry about continuity as much. Now, we have an idea of when Starfleet Academy production kicks off. Variety reports production on
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will begin this summer, with the show sporting "the largest single set ever created for Star Trek on TV." A description of the series states
Starfleet Academy "will follow the adventures of a new class of Starfleet cadets as they come of age in one of the most legendary places in the galaxy." The newest season of
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is currently in production, and Michelle Yeoh's
Section 31 movie has wrapped filming, so there's a lot for Star Trek fans to look forward to. (via

JERRY BRUCKHEIMER: NEXT 'PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN' FILM WILL BE A REBOOT03/27/24 @ 10:27 am EST

Jerry Bruckheimer has revealed that the next installment of
Pirates of the Caribbean will be a reboot of the beloved franchise. The legendary producer said in an interview with ComicBook.com that they’re working on a
Pirates of the Caribbean sequel as well as
Top Gun 3, but noted that the latter is going to take longer to develop since it involves coordinating schedules with several A-list actors, such as Tom Cruise, Miles Teller and Glen Powell. “You don’t know how they come together. You just don’t know,” Bruckheimer said. “Because with
Top Gun you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does
Top Gun, I can’t tell you. But we’re gonna reboot
Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.” Disney seemingly starting from scratch with
Pirates may come as a surprise to some fans, as there have already been ideas swirling in recent years about the franchise’s future — some that involve Margot Robbie and others that see Johnny Depp returning. In an interview with
The Hollywood Reporter, Bruckheimer said that he “would love to have” Depp in another movie.
'NIGHT OF THE HUNTER' REMAKE IN THE WORKS FROM 'BLACK PHONE' TEAM03/27/24 @ 10:28 am EST

Scott Derrickson has his next project lined up. It has been revealed the
Doctor Strange helmer will soon tackle a reimagining of
The Night of the Hunter. A cinema classic some might say is one of the best films ever released, Derrickson is directing the remake of the picture while writing the script for it alongside frequent collaborator C. Robert Cargill. Charles Laughton's original 1955 film—an adaptation of a 1953 novel of the same name—was added to the United States National Film Registry in 1992. The film and novel feature a con man who pretends to be a preacher to get close to a family in order to steal their money. Work on the film will likely take place after Derrickson and Cargill wrap work on
The Black Phone 2, the project the duo is currently working on now. Given the original
Black Phone was based on a short story, it's yet to be seen what plot a sequel could follow. Joe Hill, the author behind the aforementioned short previously teased an exciting, all-new story for Ethan Hawke's Creeper.
The Black Phone is now streaming on STARZ while
The Black Phone 2 is set to hit theaters on June 27, 2025. The original
The Night of the Hunter film can be seen on Tubi. (via
