(CNN) — La mayoría está de acuerdo con que la película de 1988 “Beetlejuice” es un clásico. Y dos de las principales fuerzas creativas detrás de la macabra y cómica película —la estrella titular Michael Keaton y el visionario director Tim Burton— dicen que planean apegarse estrechamente a la icónica cinta cuando aborden su largamente esperada secuela.Keaton, nominado al Oscar, habló el fin de semana con la revista de cine británica Empire sobre los planes de Burton y él para realizar la secuela, que lleva décadas provocando a los seguidores de Hollywood.“Los dos estamos de acuerdo en que, si pasa, tiene que ser lo más parecida a la primera”, dijo Keaton, señalando la importancia de utilizar efectos prácticos e “improvisar y hacer riffs, pero literalmente cosas hechas a mano, como gente creando cosas con sus manos y construyendo algo”.Keaton añadió que hacer la secuela es “lo más divertido que he trabajado en una película en no sé cuánt...

Wembanyama could made summer league debut in Sacramento, not Vegas, after NBA draft

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:33:18 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Victor Wembanyama’s next couple of weeks are now set: He’ll be playing in the French league finals starting this weekend, and then the San Antonio Spurs will almost certainly make him the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on June 22.And if that means the French star’s summer league debut comes in Sacramento instead of Las Vegas in early July, the league is fine with that.NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the league doesn’t have a preference regarding the site of Wembanyama’s first game with the Spurs. While the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas is the biggest — all 30 teams attend — and commands the most attention, there are smaller summer leagues that precede the Vegas event by a few days. Sacramento plays host to one of those events, and the Spurs are one of six teams headed there this year.“All summer leagues are NBA Summer Leagues,” Silver told The Associated Press. “I’m very supportive of the Sacramento summer league. I remember when (Kings owner Vivek Ranadive) first came...

Supreme Court to hear ‘Trump too small’ trademark case; man wants to trademark phrase mocking Trump

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:33:18 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear a case in which a man tried to trademark a phrase mocking former President Donald Trump as “too small.”The Justice Department is supporting President Joe Biden’s once and possibly future rival in urging the court to deny a trademark for the suggestive phrase “Trump too small” that a California man wants to put on T-shirts.The case will be argued in the fall, one of two disputes on the court’s upcoming agenda that involve Trump or one of his businesses. Government officials said the phrase “Trump too small” could still be used, just not trademarked because Trump had not consented to its use. But a federal appeals court said refusing trademark registration violated free speech rights.The high court has considered a raft of Trump-related cases in recent years. The justices have dealt with cases about Trump’s claims of fraud in the 2000 election and with his efforts to shield his tax records from Congress and to keep oth...

The next big threat hovering over the US economy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:33:18 GMT

As the federal government strives to contain financial market turmoil, the next risk looming over the nation’s banks is in plain sight: the $20 trillion commercial real estate market.Some $1.5 trillion in mortgages will come due in the next two years, a potential time bomb as higher interest rates and spiraling office vacancies push down property values.And because 70 percent of bank-held commercial mortgages sit on the balance sheets of regional and smaller lenders, a write-down in commercial loans could spell big trouble for the financial system and spill over into the larger economy just as the 2024 presidential campaign gets underway.With the country careening toward a possible recession, the financial system is especially vulnerable to shocks as the turbulence sparked by the collapse of three regional banks showed. Adding a commercial real estate market slide to the mix would be particularly perilous. It’s a concern that’s top of mind for policymakers in Washington — even as th...
