More Lord of the Rings movies are coming . In May, Warner Bros. announced two new live-action Lord of the Rings movies are in development. The first movie is The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum , estimated to arrive in 2026. Andy Serkis will direct and reprise his role as Gollum. One of the critical characters in The Hunt for Gollum is Aragorn, which begs the question: Will Viggo Mortensen reprise his role as the Ranger of the North? In an interview with The Playlist , Oscar-winning screenwriter Philippa Boyens, one of the writers on The Hunt for Gollum , made it extremely clear that their creative team wants Mortensen to return. “Honestly, that’s entirely going to be up to Viggo, collaboratively and we are at a very early stage,” Boyens said. “I’ve spoken to Viggo, Andy [Serkis] has spoken to him, Peter [Jackson] has spoken to him, we’ve all spoken to each other and honestly, I cannot imagine anyone else playing Aragorn, but it will be completely and entirely up to Viggo.” Set during The Fellowship of the Ring era, The Hunt for Gollum takes place after Bilbo Baggins’ 111th birthday party and before Frodo Baggins leaves the Shire for Rivendell. At the beginning of The Hunt for Gollum , Gandalf fears Gollum might speak with Sauron about the One Ring, so the wizard tasks Aragorn with finding the monster-like creature. Besides Boyens, Serkis hopes to work with Mortensen again on the next Lord of the Rings movie. “I know Andy wants to work with him, but also, we don’t see this as like, using A.I. [technology], this is about a digital make-up, and whether Viggo does it or will entirely depends on how good the script is,” Boyens continued. “And he doesn’t have a script yet. So to be fair to Viggo, let’s see if we write a good enough role and that he can find enough in it to see that it’s a performance he wants to take on. After that, it’ll be between Viggo and Andy of how that is achieved.” If Mortensen passes on playing Aragorn in The Hunt for Gollum , Boyens still wants him to help “hand this character off” to another actor. The next Lord of the Rings project is The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim , an anime feature film opening in theaters on December 13, 2024.SEOUL: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim arrived in Seoul on Sunday (Nov 24) for a three-day official visit to South Korea to further strengthen bilateral relations between Malaysia and South Korea. Both countries will be celebrating the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2025. The special aircraft carrying Anwar touched down at Seoul Air Base at about 9.55pm (8.55pm Malaysian time), where he was received by South Korea's Public Affairs Ministry spokesman and Deputy Minister, Lee Jaewoong, Korean Ambassador to Malaysia Yeo Seung Bae and Malaysian Ambassador to South Korea Datuk Mohd Zamruni Khalid. Anwar was accompanied by Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan; Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz; Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang; National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang and senior government officials. The Prime Minister was later accorded an official welcome at the air base. According to Mohd Zamruni, the visit is at the invitation of President Yoon Suk-yeol. "On Monday (Nov 25), the Prime Minister will hold a bilateral meeting with President Yoon at the Yongsan Presidential Office. "Both leaders will take stock of Malaysia-Republic of Korea bilateral relations that have significantly progressed, both in scope and substance, since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1960. "They are also expected to discuss regional and international issues of mutual concern, and exchange views on Malaysia’s Chairmanship of Asean and the Republic of Korea’s Chairmanship of Apec, both in 2025,” he said. The two leaders will also witness the exchange of three memoranda of understanding on Cooperation in the Field of Higher Education, Cooperation in the Field of Carbon Capture and Storage and Cooperation in Cooperative Approaches Under Article 6, Paragraph 2 of the Paris Agreement. Another key highlight of the official visit is the Malaysia-Republic of Korea Business Forum and one-on-one meetings with Korean Conglomerates, in which the Prime Minister will engage with prominent business leaders to explore economic opportunities in Malaysia. The curated session will provide insights into Malaysia's strategic priorities and initiatives, focusing on economic and fiscal growth, as well as trade and investment opportunities. On Tuesday (Nov 26), the Prime Minister will also deliver a special address titled "Strategic Partners in a Complex World: Malaysia, Korea, and the Future of Asia” at Seoul National University. - Bernama

The Sweden midfielder hailed Saturday’s 4-0 thrashing of the champions as the best game of his career. Dejan Kulusevski cannot wait for the opportunity to play against Manchester City again after Tottenham ran riot at the Etihad Stadium. The Sweden midfielder hailed Saturday’s 4-0 thrashing of the champions as the best game of his career. The 24-year-old delivered an outstanding performance as Spurs shattered the champions’ 52-game unbeaten home run, helping start the rout with a superb cross for James Maddison’s opening goal. Kulusevski said: “I believed (we would win) this because in the past years, we’ve come here and played really well. “So this is the game I look forward to most in the year and, once again, it happened – glory to God. “I’d say it’s the best result ever in my career. It’s a big night for the whole club, for the coach, for the players. “Because City have a lot of the ball sometimes, we can rest when we defend. There’s also so much space up there, we play one against one and then it’s always dangerous because we have a lot of quality. “It’s always great to play great teams because they always want to play football. When you play lower teams, sometimes it’s not. There’s not much football played because they are a lot of fouls, a lot of injuries and it’s slow going.” Maddison stole the show with two goals in quick succession in the first half while Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson later got on the scoresheet. Yet Kulusevski’s performance was also eye-catching and the player himself believes there is plenty more to come from him. Asked if his form made him feel “unstoppable”, Kulusevski said: “I feel like that. I feel very good and I’m trying to keep this way. I’m very happy, I’m trying to improve. “I started the season good but there is over half of the season left and I hope I can do much better. “I think I have something that no other player has. With my engine, with my heart – I don’t get tired – I feel like I can do a lot still in my career.” Tottenham’s scintillating performance marked a spectacular return to form after their dismal loss to Ipswich in their previous Premier League outing. Kulusevski said: “We have to be much more consistent. It’s not a turning point. We just have to be better in other games. “This game suited us perfectly but we have a lot of improvement to make in the other games.”Pep Guardiola worried by mentally ‘fragile’ City as trip to Liverpool looms

Five weeks have passed since the Colorado men’s basketball opened the season. The Buffaloes are nowhere near where they hope to be once they embark on the program’s return season in the Big 12 Conference. Yet in terms of making progress from week-to-week with a new-look roster, head coach Tad Boyle has been encouraged by the early returns. CU got back to work on Tuesday, reconvening for the first practice since improving to 7-2 with a Saturday night rivalry win against Colorado State. “I think we understand better now what our jobs are defensively,” Boyle said. “I thought against Colorado State, coming into that game they were a pretty efficient offensive team. They ran their stuff well. I thought we exerted our will defensively with our energy early. That was a key. “I think defensively, we’re understanding what our jobs are. Now, we’re not where we need to be for sure. But we’re making strides in that area. And I think the guys are getting used to playing with each other, understanding each other. And that’s part of it too. Especially in today’s world of college basketball, with so many new players on every team.” Taking stock of clubs based on conference rankings certainly isn’t an exact science in December, when all 16 Big 12 teams have faced varying schedules, but the Buffs have so far held their own in categories involving overall percentages. For instance, CU’s 76.0 points per game ranks a distant 15th in the Big 12, and Boyle would prefer a better defensive scoring average than 69.7, which ranks 11th. CU ranks ninth in overall field goal percentage (.469) and 10th in defensive field goal percentage (.412), but they have fared well from long range, ranking third in 3-point percentage (.398) and third in defensive 3-point percentage (.302). As CU fans might guess, the Buffs rank last in assist-to-turnover rate (1.07) and turnovers (15.1 per game). Yet even the turnovers have shown signs of improvement lately, with the Buffs averaging 13.5 in the past six games. “I think we’ve gotten better at a lot of things,” guard Javon Ruffin said. “I think the last game (against CSU) was the first game we came out with the defensive intensity we needed. But I think that’s something that’s improved since the beginning. We let a lot of those teams early on hang around. I think we’ve gotten a lot better at that. I think offensively, we’re getting a lot more consistent. I think early on we had a lot of long droughts, or maybe times we were scoring but not getting the shots we wanted. I think our offense is flowing a lot smoother now.” With only two games remaining in nonconference play, which resumes on Friday night against South Dakota State (7 p.m., ESPN+), the Buffs will be challenged to maintain that steady improvement during a time on the calendar heavy on practices but light on games. “It starts by having good practices,” Boyle said. “This week, we’ve got three days of practice that are critical for us to keep our edge, keep getting better, in everything that we need to do. It’s more about ourselves getting better right now, whether it’s offensively, defensively, rebounding the ball, competing. I want these guys to feel like practices matter. I’m making decisions about who’s playing in games based on practice, just as much as how you play in a game.”None
How many people’s blood do you need: Asaduddin Owaisi reacts to Sambhal violenceDENVER (AP) — Travis Hunter made a pair of proclamations Thursday: He’s for sure entering the NFL draft after this season, but not until he sees C olorado all the way through the College Football Playoff — if the Buffaloes make it there. The first was already a given for the draft-eligible junior who plays both receiver and cornerback. The second is a risk-reward play for a projected high first-round pick who averages around 120 snaps a game. In years past, it took two extra postseason wins to capture a national title. Now, it could take up to four additional contests. That’s more of a chance to shine, but also more chance for an injury. “I don’t think nobody will opt out because you’re showing NFL teams that you’re more focused on something else, other than the team goal,” Hunter said of the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff. “So I don’t think players are going to opt out of the playoffs.” Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders chatted Thursday in a set of Zoom calls about turning around the program at Colorado (from 4-8 last season to bowl eligibility), chasing a Big 12 title, turning pro — Hunter acknowledged he will “for sure” — and, of course, the Heisman race, where Hunter is currently the odds- on favorite in an aw ard each wants to see the other win. “He’s deserving of it, and if it’s between me and him, I want him to get it,” said Sanders, whose 16th-ranked Buffaloes (8-2, 6-1 Big 12, No. 16 CF P) travel to Arrowhead Stadium to face Kans as (4-6, 3- 4) this weekend. “He does a lot of amazing things that have never been done before.” Countered Hunter: “I know he wants me to win it, but I also want him to win as bad as I want to win it.” Hunter is a generational talent shining on both sides of the ball. As a receiver, he has 74 catches for 911 yards and nine touchdowns. On defense, he has picked off three passes, even though teams are reluctant to throw his direction. Like he did in high school and now in college, he believes he can do both on the next level. But he understands the trepidation of the NFL team that picks him. “They don’t want their top pick to go down too early,” Hunter said. “I like when people tell me I can’t do it, because they just motivate me to continue to do what I want to do.” Sanders is turning in a stellar season as well with 27 touchdown passes, one away from tying Sefo Liufau for the most in a single season in program history. He’s projected to be one of the first QBs off the draft board. The future certainly looks bright at Colorado thanks to the legacies Sanders and Hunter under coach Deion Sanders. But that’s a point to ponder later. “I can’t think too much forward past Saturday,” Shedeur Sanders cracked. “The main thing is winning the Big 12 championship. That’s the main thing we’re focused on.”
