AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoCannes Flashpoint: Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez kicked off “Fast & Furious”’ 25th anniversary with a Cannes Classics midnight screening, joined by Jordana Brewster and Paul Walker’s daughter—while the bigger Cannes story stayed off-screen: major US studios and streamers (Universal, Disney, Sony, Netflix, Amazon) are skipping premieres amid cost-cutting and fear of harsh festival reviews. AI vs Film Jobs: Cannes leadership is pushing back hard on AI in filmmaking, warning about pressure on writers, actors, translators, and dubbing work—even as the festival signs a multi-year Meta sponsorship. Entertainment Reunions: Netflix also released first looks for “Call My Agent! The Movie,” setting up another cast comeback. Local Culture & Food: Dallas’ Puerto Cocina is drawing attention for Mexican seafood, and Houston’s ice-cream scene keeps leaning into small-batch, identity-driven flavors. Ongoing Watch: France continues sterile tiger-mosquito releases to curb invasive populations, with Réunion already in the mix.
