Fans are concerned Joel could die in season 2Joel (Pedro Pascal) cradles Ellie (Bella Ramsey) in the season one finale of "The Last of Us."

☆ 'Rosaline' review: 'Romeo and Juliet' gets a rewrite with Kaitlyn Dever as a star-crossed cousin
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —Tapping into the twin markets of A) lovers of rom-coms and B) recovering English majors, “Rosaline” promotes a fleetingly mentioned “Romeo and Juliet” character front and center, then builds a very clever and breezy movie around her. The result is a welcome starring showcase for Kaitlyn Dever more likely to prosper in the hamlet of Hulu than it would have fared in the province of theaters. For those a little rusty on their Shakespeare, Romeo had actually been pining for Juliet’s cousin before they met and set in motion that whole star-crossed lovers thing. When their get-together prevents her from attending a party, the feckless Romeo falls for the visiting Juliet (Isabela Merced). “Rosaline” premieres October 14 on Hulu in the US, Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in other territories.

Latinos are underrepresented in the media industry workforce across film, radio, television, newspapers and digital platforms, according to the report. Latinos are 19% of the nation's population, almost 1 in 5 Americans, and 18% of workers outside the media industry. The largest percentage of Hispanic media industry workers were employed in service worker positions (19%) — which include food, cleaning and personal and protective services, according to the latest available reports submitted by media companies to the U.S. In positions that can influence the content audiences consume, Latinos were far less represented: They made up only 7% of professional media industry positions such as actors, producers, directors, writers, reporters and editors. When Latinos did see themselves represented in content, they felt "it was inaccurate" in most cases, de Armas said.

Filmul de groază "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It" a urcat în acest weekend direct pe primul loc în box-office-ul din America de Nord, unde cinematografele se redeschid treptat după un an sumbru, relatează AFP şi Xinhua. Rezultatul obţinut de ''The Conjuring'' (24 de milioane de dolari în 3.102 locaţii) este considerat unul deosebit pentru Warner Bros., filmul fiind deja pus la dispoziţia abonaţilor HBO Max fără costuri suplimentare. Producţia "Spirit Untamed" a Universal se clasează pe a patra poziţie în box-office-ul nord-american, cu încasări de 6,2 milioane de dolari. Isabela Merced dă voce personajului principal, o tânără care se ataşează de un mustang sălbatic numit "Spirit". Pe al cincilea loc se situează, pentru a doua săptămână la rând, o altă producţie Disney, ''Raya and the Last Dragon'', care a înregistrat încasări de 1,3 milioane de dolari în acest weekend.
