## Resource

In this episode, we break down the biggest stories shaking up Hollywood. First up: the long-awaited Dune: Part Three trailer has finally dropped – and it’s everything we hoped for. Then, we dive into the casting bombshell for Heat 2: Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Adam Driver, and Stephen Graham are all circling major roles. Next, the indie thriller Obsession shatters records, becoming the highest-grossing film ever made for under $1 million. And if that’s not enough, we discuss two chilling new projects: Zach Cregger is developing a Siren Head movie, while Steven Spielberg is producing an adaptation of the YouTube analog horror series The Mandela Catalogue. Tune in for all this and more.
