As yet, we cannot tell whether 2023 will be remembered for the movies that we saw or for the movies that were hobbled and hog-tied by industrial action.

The Cambridgeshire farm used to test Amazon's new delivery drones has become a heavily guarded site that's shrouded in paranoia and secrecy. A group of photographers visiting the testing ground has filmed the moment they were turned away from by security guards, who they say were equipped with ear pieces, binoculars and radios. One of the photographers described the confrontation as'hostile' and said that it was like'some kind of cult'. In the footage capturing the exchange last Thursday, one security guard, who was wearing a pair of binoculars around his neck, asked the photographers to leave while standing next to a private property sign. He refused to confirm or deny whether he was security or answer any questions.

Bryan Cranston is headed back to the "Power Rangers" franchise. The actor has been cast to play Zordon in the upcoming Lionsgate reboot.

Cranston previously revealed that not only did he lend his voice to the original "Power Rangers" TV series, but Blue Ranger's name (Billy Cranston) was named after him. Cranston even teased the connection in his tweet confirming his new role.
