"The planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs," the movie's summary says. "Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind." In the new film, Johansson is set to play a skilled covert operations expert named Zora Bennett in the film and is hired to lead the team extracting DNA from the "three most gargantuan dinosaur species left alive." Ali plays Zora's partner, Duncan Kincaid, while Bailey plays a paleontologist named Dr. Henry Loomis.

Frank Sinatra ‘facilitated' John F Kennedy's other life, but couldn't outrun his mafia connections: The rise and ruin of their unlikely friendship
The month of May marks the 27th death anniversary of the legendary Italian-American crooner Frank Sinatra who passed away on May 14, 1998, due to a heart attack in Los Angeles. Apart from his stellar career as a singer and the fact that his music still finds space in big-budget movies and also your dad's playlist titled 'This Is Real Music', Sinatra had a colourful personal life, to say the least. He had FBI files dedicated to his relationship with the mob, that one character from The Godfather which was 'definitely not based on him', and, of course, his confusing relationship with the former US president John F. Kennedy. Sinatra and Kennedy had very different upbringings; one broke through the proverbial glass ceiling, while for the other that limit did not necessarily exist. Singing in mafia-controlled bars and venues, the 'Fly Me to the Moon' singer made a lot of friends on his way to fame, friends who weren't exactly on the right side of the law and helped Fontane, scratch that, Sinatra break through contracts, land roles and flourish in a whirlwind of an industry. After Sinatra rose through the fulminations of his beguiling life and stalling career with the film From Here to Eternity (1953), he made friends with an upcoming politician from Massachusetts named Kennedy. It almost feels perverse and impossible when you look at their pictures together from the early years of their association. Two men smiling through cigarette smoke, mixed with an air of nonchalance and greatness, while the world around them tried to chisel their way into the truth behind this relationship. Along with Sinatra, Kennedy was chummy with the entire 'Rat Pack', which consisted of singer Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr, along with actors Angie Dickinson and Peter Lawford. ALSO READ: Denzel Washignton and Spike Lee reunite for Highest 2 Lowest, featuring ASAP Rocky and Jeffrey Wright. Watch teaser Sinatra was almost the facilitator of Kennedy's 'other life', as he introduced him to a different world, which was filled with vices in expensive glasses and escape routes dressed as beautiful women. He was allegedly the man who was responsible for Kennedy's association with Marilyn Monroe, and he did it presumably during the time when the actor was renting the guest house of Sinatra's home in Los Angeles. Apart from the booze and the philandering, Sinatra incorporated himself into the politician's professional front as well; he fully supported him in his campaign for presidency, writing songs, raising funds and even convincing mob bosses to influence the vote of the workers' union. Everyone was aware that the union voted as one unit, and them going over to Kennedy's side would go a long way in his battle against Richard Nixon. Sinatra seemed to cut a deal with the Chicago boss, Sam 'Mooney' Giancana, who probably helped with the union in the hopes that the Kennedy administration would take things easy on them. As Kennedy emerged victorious over Nixon, Sinatra grew in confidence just by association. He had always been boastful about his connections, and in Kennedy he saw legitimacy, invincibility. But Sinatra's dreams of being in cahoots with the highest office in the country were soon shattered as John's brother Robert F Kennedy (also known as Bobby) took over the office of Attorney General and began his onslaught on organised crime. Amidst all this, Sinatra offered to host John during his visit to Los Angeles, but now with Kennedy's new office and credentials, some arrangements had to be made. The singer got in touch with the Secret Service and made several modifications to his infamous house, including adding a helicopter pad. But just like a Bollywood wedding gone wrong, Kennedy's first visit back would be the last verse in the glorious and controversial friendship. While the president was in transit to Los Angeles, Kennedy was informed by his brother that the FBI had just released documents regarding Sinatra's ties with the mob, and the evidence in those files was damning enough for the Attorney General. More than that, the then FBI director J. Edgar Hoover was perched up on Kennedy's head and had more files on their parties than Sinatra's entire discography. Ultimately the trip was cancelled, and Kennedy chose to go to singer Bing Crosby's estate instead. An enraged Sinatra felt betrayed and ransacked his newly refurbished home. His hopes of outrunning his mafia connections and changing the people's perception about him went down the drain as the citizens of America seemed to forget everything their Roman Catholic golden boy did before entering the White House on a rather questionable steed. The close friends did not maintain any contact with each other, and just a year later, Kennedy was assassinated. Their rise to the top was meteoric, and the duo lived like rockstars before it was even a thing, including every single mistake the upcoming generation of rockstars would make. Intoxicated dreams, dilapidated morals and fractured relationships – maybe Sinatra got back exactly what he sold at those lavish parties at his house. Even though we will never know the extent of what all transpired between the two personalities, it can be argued that both of them were never actually friends. It was a relationship built on favours and promises, and one decided to step off before the other could cash in, and that, people, was the straw that broke the singing camel's back.

Scarlett Johansson wants ‘retaliation' against Michael Che for his vulgar ‘SNL' joke
Michael Che's jab might have gotten under the skin just a little. Scarlett Johansson's husband, Colin Jost, and his costar Michael Che had their annual 'Saturday Night Live' joke swap in December 2024 with the actress, 40, being the target of one inappropriate joke. Now, Johansson wants revenge. 7 Scarlett Johansson on 'Saturday Night Live.' NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images 'I feel like it's almost my responsibility to come up with some way to burn Michael back,' she told Vanity Fair in an interview published Wednesday. 'Retaliation, I'd say, should be expected. Others on the show could support this desire. Know what I mean?' During the sketch comedy show, Jost, 42, and his Weekend Update co-anchor, Michael Che, 41, read jokes written by one another. 'Costco has removed the roast beef sandwich from its menu. But I ain't trippin',' Jost said at the time. 'I've been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.' 7 Scarlett Johansson hosts 'Saturday Night Live.' NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images A camera then panned to the actress who was backstage with a shocked look on her face. 'My experience of it was so funny.' Johansson told InStyle in March, revealing that producers had given her a heads up that Che wrote a 'vagina joke.' Speaking out about the comment in particular, the 'Fly Me to the Moon' alum stated, 'It was so vulgar.' 7 Anchor Colin Jost and anchor Michael Che during Weekend Update on Saturday, December 7, 2024. Will Heath/NBC via Getty Images 'I just can't believe that they went there. I was like — it was so gross. It was really gross,' she went on. 'And, like, old-school gross.' The 'Sing' vet didn't expect it to go that far, however. 'I was like, 'I mean, it's a vagina joke, how bad could it be?' And then as soon as the Costco photo came up, I was like 'No! No, Michael!'' Johansson also touched on the crew catching her stunned reaction. 7 Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost attend 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special.' Evan Agostini/Invision/AP 'The fact that it took on a full 'To Catch a Predator'-style reveal or whatever,' she teased, 'that was so intense. All of a sudden, it was like a whole bunch of people holding up lights, and a guy with a video camera. They were waiting for me to react. I felt insane. I was like, 'I think I'm going to faint.'' The joke didn't come between Johansson and Jost, who tied the knot in 2020, and share son Cosmo, 3, as they went to bed together at 4 a.m., laughing about what went down. 'I was like, 'My nerves are shot.' And Colin said, 'Me too,'' Johansson, who also shares daughter Rose, 10, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac, recalled. 7 Scarlett Johansson attends the 2025 Time100 Gala at Lincoln Center on April 24, 2025 in New York City. WireImage While on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' in January, Jost told host Jimmy Fallon, 'I'm in trouble, I think, with a lot of people. Scarlett was genuinely so shocked. Because I was obviously surprised by everything, but they gave her a heads-up.' The comedian shared that the writers asked Johansson if she would be okay being included in a punchlines or two, and, of course, she was game. 'And she was like, 'Sure! You know, whatever. I'm open to it,'' explained Jost. 7 Anchor Colin Jost during Weekend Update on February 16, 2025. Todd Owyoung/NBC via Getty Images 'It was honestly a legitimate live moment, and you weren't acting at all,' stated Fallon, 50, to which Jost responded, 'I was not. I can't act that well.' The couple have continued to be a united front — jokes and all — since tying the knot five years ago. Jost even gave a sweet shout-out to Johansson in his 2020 memoir, 'A Very Punchable Face.' The author penned that she 'a grace and a smile that I've still never seen in any other human.' 7 Mikey Day as Lord Gaga, anchor Colin Jost, and anchor Michael Che as during Weekend Update on Saturday, March 8, 2025. Will Heath/NBC via Getty Images 'I've met someone I love and who I feel more comfortable with than I ever have before,' he wrote. 'I feel more confident committing to what I'm working on and standing by whatever I create, regardless of whether people like it or not.' Johansson will host the 'Saturday Night Live' Season 50 finale — alongside musical guest Bad Bunny — on May 17.
