Lola Tung is the latest to join the cast of the upcoming A24 film Please.
The Summer I Turned Pretty actress will appear in the new movie from Babygirl and Bodies Bodies Bodies filmmaker Halina Reijn.
Tung confirmed her casting in an Instagram Story on Wednesday. She will act alongside the previously announced star Gracie Abrams in Abrams’ first-ever professional acting role.
Also starring in the film are Tom Burke, Connor Storrie and David Jonsson.
While Please‘s story details are remaining under wraps, it will be written, directed and produced by Reijn. David Hinojosa will also produce in what will be his third collaboration with Reijn.
This is also the third collaboration between A24 and Reijn, which previously released both the slasher Bodies Bodies Bodies and the Nicole Kidman-starring erotic thriller Babygirl. The studio also acquired her debut film, Instinct.

When Taylor Swift revealed that she’d written a song for Toy Story 5, she noted that she’d been “a Toy Story kid from the age of 5 til now.” And she proved it by showing up to the movie’s premiere on Tuesday night with her original VHS tape of Toy Story under her arm.
But she wasn’t just carrying it around to prove her fandom; she asked Toy Story star Tom Hanks to autograph it for her. He did, as he told USA Today, and then laughed, “I told her she should have brought in the VHS machine so that we could have signed it, ’cause that could go into the Smithsonian Institute as well.”
Separately, Tom told Variety that he had no idea Taylor had a song in the movie until the last moment, when, he said, “They ushered us into a soundproof room and said, ‘Tonight, at 9 p.m., the true end titles song is going to drop and it’s by Taylor Swift.'”
“And I said, ‘You guys kept this from us all this time?’ We saw the movie and it did not — we had some dummy [song] in there, so they surprised us as well.”
He added, “That’s like saying, ‘By the way, Judy Garland is singing “Over the Rainbow” at the beginning of this’ — that kind of thing.”
And while speaking to E! at the premiere, Tom offered the following marriage advice to Taylor and her fiancé, Travis Kelce: “The man must make the waffles on Sunday.”

A third installment in the 21 Jump Street movie franchise is a go.
Producer Neal H. Moritz revealed the news in an Instagram post, with a photo of the script for 24 Jump Street. “It took so long to make we had to skip one,” the script’s cover page reads.
21 Jump Street, starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, was released in 2012, followed by its sequel, 22 Jump Street, in 2014.
As the photo of the script reveals, Hill co-wrote 24 Jump Street along with Rodney Rothman and Meghan Malloy.
“A picture says a thousand words!” Moritz captioned the photo.
Variety reports Hill, Tatum and Ice Cube are in talks to return as stars of the new film.
The first Jump Street film, a reboot of the 1980s TV series starring Johnny Depp, saw Hill and Tatum playing cops who go undercover at a high school. The sequel had them graduating to an undercover mission at a college.

The jury has found Duane “Keffe D” Davis guilty in the murder of Tupac Shakur, 30 years after the rapper was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.
Jurors deliberated for less than three hours before finding him guilty of murder with the use of a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang. The 63-year-old faces a possible maximum sentence of life in prison.
Davis stood with his lawyer as the verdict was read, then sat with his hands clasped on the table.
Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny has set Davis’ sentencing for Oct. 13
Prosecutors say Davis did not fire the gun that killed Shakur in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip on Sept. 7, 1996 — they allege that was the work of either Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, Davis’ nephew, or another man in the backseat of the car.
Police and prosecutors have accused Davis, an admitted longtime leader of a Los Angeles street gang, of being the “shot caller” and handing the gunman the murder weapon.
The jurors retired Monday after a marathon day of closing arguments that broke only briefly for a bathroom break and to get Davis a cough lozenge from Judge Kierny’s personal stash.
Even without Davis’ numerous confessions to his role in the killing of Tupac Shakur, the case is “drenched with circumstantial evidence” and corroborating witnesses, prosecutor Binu Palal told the jury during his closing argument Monday.
That — taken together with Davis’ incriminating and consistent accounts to police, to the media, and on the pages of his self-published memoir — overwhelmingly show his guilt, Palal argued.
“For nearly 18 years, Duane Davis has told the police, television, books, YouTube interviewers — anybody that will listen, he has told — he is responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur,” Palal said. “Tell him you hear him — find him guilty.”
Meanwhile, defense attorney Michael Sanft said that three decades after the drive-by shooting, all prosecutors really have is Davis’ alleged confessions — which aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.
“We have to ask ourselves the question really at this particular point: Why are we here 30 years later if Duane Davis had actually confessed — truly confessed?” Sanft said.
Sanft repeatedly emphasized what he said was a lack of real evidence supporting his client’s incriminating claims while urging jurors to find Davis not guilty, saying it’s the “only verdict that makes sense in this case.”
