The French filmmaker behind Fast X and its long-gestating follow-up, Fast Forever, is releasing the genre-blending thriller, The Last House, on Aug. 7 via Netflix. He’s also about to wrap production on a sci-fi action thriller called Liminal for Apple. On top of those features, the fourth season of Lupin, the Netflix series he co-showruns, drops in October. He even launched a production company known as Carrousel Studios with his Lupin lead, Omar Sy, and The Last House EP, Thomas Brenski.

Early in my career, I worked at Google helping scale the Ads platform. Billions of dollars in advertiser spend moved through systems my teams worked on, and I got a long look at what separated accounts that compounded from accounts that stalled. It was rarely cleverness. The advertisers who won understood how the machine actually made decisions, measured everything, and moved budget the moment the evidence said to. Everyone else optimized folklore: tricks from a conference, habits left over from the last platform shift, dashboards nobody questioned.

Perez Hilton has expressed deep regret, particularly for stirring panic and fear among Hollywood celebrities through his popular blogsite. In an effort to make amends, he even reached out to figures such as Britney Spears, Neil Patrick Harris and others to offer apologies.
