There was a “Lord of the Rings” reunion Tuesday night at the Cannes Film Festival, with Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson receiving an honorary Palme d’Or from Elijah Wood, who played Frodo Baggins in the series. In his speech, Wood recalled meeting Jackson for the first time at age 18 after he sent in an audition tape. “He had been watching a VHS tape I had made with some friends in the woods in Griffith Park, and now he wanted to meet the young man who had sent it to him,” Wood said. “And then a little while later, when I…

Forget “Scream 7” — the scariest movie to come out of Hollywood this year is a 15-second video clip of Lakers player Peyton Meyer dunking a ball in a packed stadium and staring down an Oklahoma City Thunder rival.

It’s perhaps the most chilling glimpse yet of how humans have become superfluous in the age of AI. Peyton Meyer, who stars on ABC’s “American Housewife,” appeared in…
