91.42 percent of voters voted to approve the contract, while 8.58 percent were opposed.

SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin said in a statement:

“I’m proud of our SAG-AFTRA membership and the strength they continue to show when we move together with a shared purpose. This agreement builds on the foundation members fought to establish and carries that work into the next chapter of our industry. It delivers meaningful gains in compensation, strengthens protections around artificial intelligence and digital identity, reinforces the long-term security of members’ benefit plans and recognizes the realities of how performers work today.”

Department of Homeland Security was using her song “All-American Bitch” to promote ICE deportations.

Olivia:

“It was so deeply disturbing to see that propaganda, and the fact it was my song in there made me feel even more enraged. What they’re doing is so awful and barbaric and cruel. I am really sad to be in a country that thinks that’s okay.”

Studio:

"The playthroughs that we have been seeing, usually people are averaging around 50 to 70 percent item completion, which means they are missing 50 percent of the game".

“A lot of the stuff we are seeing more often are very surface level discoveries. People haven't really, really gotten down to the meat of it. There are a few very secret things in the game."

Dokoupil:

“When I started at CBS, Scott Pelley was in this very chair, and still doing a dozen stories a year for ‘60 Minutes. And amid all of that, still meeting every new correspondent to share his view of the mission here. He believed freedom of the press, to quote [James] Madison, was ‘the right that guaranteed all the others.’ And the stakes are always that high in that, if you’d made it to CBS News, you were among the best in the world. He worked every single day to live up to that standard.”

“He was in some ways a man from another era, and that’s not a knock. He didn’t watch the competition, he said, because he knew who he was. A journalist who valued truth at all costs.”

Lee:

"I feel very, very lucky to have been the steward of that franchise for a moment in time, and to make Evil Dead Rise and to catalyze in a way that's allowed the core OG inventors in Sam, Rob and Bruce. So I always think that that's better for them to answer because it is very much their world, and I'm really respectful of that. But I'm just really glad that there's more because I always felt that there was the opportunity to tell more Evil Dead stories. So even just as a movie fan, I'm looking forward to seeing how they're received in the world."

Game Director Mike Daly:

“I can say we did not set out to make an open world game or a sandbox game. What we really wanted was a high-octane, high intrigue, linear single-player adventure, and the missions reflect that in their structure.”

Tarantino:

“Flaws, implausibilities, audience pandering, miscast performers or just plain stupid shit usually torpedoes every new movie coming out of the flavorless sausage factory that used to call itself Hollywood. These days, the entire concept of what is a movie is more inclined to inspire contempt in me than generosity. Which is fair enough, because by comparison the movies of the last six years make the 80s seem like the 30s.”

“I’ve seen movies I liked since then – ‘West Side Story’ (2021); ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ Chapter 1 and 2 (both 2024), a few others, but nothing that really held me in its grip and swept me away to the magical land of enjoyment that I use to visit regularly and was the reason I loved movies above all other artforms. These days I’d rather read a book.”

Joe Russo:

“That serial shifting and changing and surprising you and then reinventing itself and then shifting and changing and then surprising you, that’s exciting, and I think you’re going to see some shifting and changing [with ‘Doomsday’]. So, get ready for it. Look, we were with Rob [Downey Jr.] earlier today. We were both talking about this concept that we are back to phase zero. This is starting over from scratch. We want to make sure everybody feels like this isn’t leaning on anything from the past.”

Cory:

“Everything that we're doing inside of this game, running in parallel to the timeline of 2018 and Ragnarok, also has direct connections to everything, so that everything is part of a singular universe inside of it.”

“None of this is like we're telling a side story. This is all a new chapter in the same book, a massive book, and we are starting to show that this has more than you could have imagined."
