Ishiguro’s novel centers on the journey of an Artificial Friend Klara (Ortega), who’s purchased by a mother (Adams) and her bright daughter Josie, who suffers from a mysterious illness. Klara embarks on a quest to save Josie and her loved ones from heartbreak, while also embracing the power of human love.

The Nobel Prize winner Ishiguro found success with several of his adaptations, starting with The Remains of the Day in 1993, which generated eight Oscar nominations. Never Let Me Go was adapted into a 2010 film starring Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield, while The Buried Giant is being adapted into an animated movie by Guillermo del Toro.

Klara and the Sun is Adams’ latest promising project after a series of flops in recent years, including critically panned Dear Evan Hansen and Disenchanted. She’ll next be seen in Marielle Heller’s comedy horror Nightbi–h alongside Scoot McNairy and Ella Thomas, set to be released on Hulu later this year.

The Oscar-winning writer of Jojo Rabbit, Waititi is currently looking for his next project since he’s fresh off filming the sports comedy Next Goal Wins. Having him work on the next Star Wars makes sense since he has the experience of carrying a major blockbuster on his shoulders, having previously directed Thor: Ragnarok and its sequel Thor: Love and Thunder.

The news of Waititi’s involvement in the Star Wars franchise comes amidst a major Lucasfilm shakedown. Several projects have been recently put on the back burner, including Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron and the Kevin Feige project that has Michael Waldron attached as writer.

We haven’t gotten a new Star Wars film since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. Rian Johnson expressed interest in returning to the galaxy far, far away, but he’s currently busy with the Peacock series Poker Face and Benoit Blanc movies starring Daniel Craig.

Despite the lack of Star Wars films in recent years, the franchise is alive and kicking on Disney+, with such shows as The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Andor finding critical acclaim.

As with most Marvel movies, the first trailer promises a perfect blend between action and humor, with high emotional stakes. The trailer opens with Thor running through the woods, first as a child and a teenager, before transforming into the all-mighty Good of Thunder that we know him as today.

He announces that his “superheroing days are over” and that he’s planning to use his hands as “tools of peace”, but it will take some time before he gives up saving the world for good. He must join forces with some of his former allies to stop Gorr the God Butcher from eliminating all gods including Jane Foster, who takes control of Mjolnir as the Mighty Thor.

In addition to Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman, Thor: Love and Thunder will also star Tessa Thompson, Christian Bale, and the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy, including Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, and Karen Gillan.

After several major date shifts, it’s set to hit the theatres on July 8.

News that Waititi will direct from a script co-written by himself and 1917’s co-scribe Krysty Wilson-Cairns was announced by Disney and Lucasfilm on Monday.

Per Variety, it is unclear if Waititi’s film is one of Disney’s previously annoneced three untitled Star Wars movies dated for December 2022, 2024 and 2026, or if it’s a separate project.

Waititi is the Oscar-winning writer-director of Jojo Rabbit. He also directed the season finale of the hit Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian.

Waititi is next set to direct Thor: Love and Thunder for Disney’s Marvel Studios.

Multiple outlets report that Jude Law and Take Waititi have boarded the project, reported to be a Hollywood satire based on the One Press graphic novel series by Rick Spears and James Callahan. 

Per Deadline, Law will play the title character, while Waititi is attached to direct. Taika will also co-write the show with Peter Warren. Eric Gitter and Dan Halsted will executive produce.

The show is still in development and it is unknown when the show will go into production.

The winner of this award is picked by the public, who place their ticket stubs in voting boxes after each screening, rating the movie they’ve just seen. Despite the fact the voting body is not the same at the Oscars, winners of the main TIFF award often end up scoring nominations and wins in the best picture category.

We’re yet to see if Jojo Rabbit goes down the same road, but it’s not the only Oscar hopeful that was screened in Toronto. The list of critically acclaimed movies shown at this festival also includes films Hustlers, Joker, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story which was the first runner-up for People’s Choice Award.

Jojo Rabbit received the top award at this festival despite mixed reviews, and we’re yet to see how it does at the box office. It’s set to screen at the film festivals in Vancouver, London, and San Diego before making its way to theaters on October 18th.
