Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s ‘Amores Perros’ Gets June Theatrical Re-Release by Mubi (EXCLUSIVE)

After 25 years, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s debut feature “Amores Perros” will get a theatrical re-release from Mubi. The film will hit cinemas in New York and Los Angeles on June 12, expanding nationwide June 19.

Following three characters as their lives converge following a fatal car crash, “Amores Perros” first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000, going on to debut in theaters on March 30, 2001. At the festival, the film won the Grand Prize of the Critics’ Week, an achievement credited with launching Iñárritu’s international career. The film also received an Academy Award nomination for best foreign language film in 2001. “Amores Perros” stars Emilio Echevarría, Gael García Bernal, Vanessa Bauche and Goya Toledo.

The streaming service, film distributor and production company first acquired rights for the restored 4k version of the film during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it premiered in the Cannes Classics selection. Criterion Collection, Estudio Mexico Films and Altavista Films carried out the restoration, with color supervision by Iñárritu and cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto

“It’s incredible that these wild dogs are still barking 25 years later,” said Iñárritu. “I’m very excited that Mubi is bringing ‘Amores Perros’ back to the big screen, especially for younger generations who never had the chance to experience it in theaters. This film changed the lives of all of us who made it.”

In the years since ‘Amores Perros’ premiered, Iñárritu has won five Academy Awards; the Mexican filmmaker took home best picture, best director and best original screenplay awards for “Birdman” in 2015, best director for “The Revenant” in 2016 and was the recipient of a special achievement Academy Award in 2017 for the virtual reality installation “Carne y Arena.”

Anniversary celebrations for “Amores Perros” also includes “Sueño Perro,” an exhibit of never-before-seen footage that opened last fall and is currently on display at LACMA until July 26, and an artbook for the film, published by Mack last fall.

Riteish Deshmukh’s ‘Raja Shivaji’ Trailer Bows From India’s Jio Studios

Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company have released the trailer for “Raja Shivaji,” the historical epic charting the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

The film is set for a worldwide release on May 1 in the Marathi and Hindi languages.

“Raja Shivaji” chronicles the rise of young Shivaji Bhonsale, who challenged the might of established empires to found the Maratha kingdom and lay the groundwork for “Swarajya” (self-rule) during a turbulent period of Indian history.

Riteish Deshmukh serves as director, lead actor, writer and producer on the project, which traces the evolution of the young warrior into one of India’s most revered historical figures. The production draws from lesser-known stories surrounding the leader’s life, focusing on his strategic acumen and valor.

The trailer launch event in Mumbai was attended by Jyoti Deshpande, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Sachin Khedekar, Bhagyashree, Jitendra Joshi, Genelia Deshmukh and music composers Ajay–Atul. The film’s earlier-released teaser and title anthem “Chhatrapati” have already generated strong audience response.

“For 10 years, I have been trying to make Raja Shivaji. When we finally began in 2023, it feels like even Maharaj is saying – now your time has come,” Deshmukh said at the launch. “Because dreams alone don’t make things happen. To bring them to life, you need support. Jio Studios and Jyoti Deshpande stood by us and showed that courage and I am extremely grateful to them.” The director and star described the film as “a humble offering… at the feet of Maharaj.”

“‘Raja Shivaji’ is not just a film, it is a celebration of India’s spirit, identity, and rich history,” said Jyoti Deshpande, president of Jio Studios. Jio Studios previously backed the massively successful “Dhurandhar” duology. “At Jio Studios, our endeavor has always been to champion stories that are rooted in India yet resonate universally. The phenomenal success of the ‘Dhurandhar’ duology reaffirmed that audiences are deeply connected to powerful, homegrown narratives told with conviction and scale. With ‘Raja Shivaji,’ we continue that journey, bringing to life the story of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a towering symbol of courage, vision, and Hindavi Swarajya, whose larger-than-life legacy continues to inspire generations.”

“We wanted to showcase the human story behind the legend as well as his strategic brilliance and valor. Riteish and his team have crafted a narrative that goes beyond the spectacle to explore the making of a leader, his values, and the forces that shaped him,” Deshpande continued. “Backed by authenticity, scale, a stellar ensemble cast and soul-stirring music, ‘Raja Shivaji’ reflects our commitment to presenting Indian stories with both grandeur and heart to audiences across the world. This is not just a cinematic experience, but a tribute to the pride of India, bringing the pages of our history books alive for audiences across generations.”

“I feel deeply emotional today and I am truly grateful to the entire team from production to design to every single person who came together to bring this vision alive,” said producer and cast member Genelia Deshmukh. “More than just a film, ‘Raja Shivaji’ is our heartfelt tribute to the legend his life, his legacy, and everything he stands for. It’s not just a project, it’s a responsibility and a blessing that we could bring this dream to life.”

The ensemble cast includes Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Boman Irani, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan, Jitendra Joshi, Amol Gupte, Genelia Deshmukh, and Riteish Vilasrao Deshmukh.

The production features music by Ajay–Atul and cinematography by Santosh Sivan. Jio Studios is presenting the Mumbai Film Company production, with Jyoti Deshpande and Genelia Deshmukh producing.

The May 1 release date coincides with Maharashtra Day, a holiday commemorating the formation of the western Indian state of Maharashtra from which the titular ruler hailed.

GoPro’s Mission 1 camera series will start at $600

We heard all about GoPro’s new action camera series last week, but the company is now unveiling the pricing across its Mission 1, Mission 1 Pro and Mission 1 Pro ILS cameras. The entry-level Mission 1 ($600) features GoPro’s new 50-megapixel 1-inch sensor, which the company says will offer a major leap in image quality and low-light performance over the Hero 13 line. While largely looking the same as the Hero series (and still waterproof), the Mission 1 can record 8K video at 30fps and 4K at 120fps. It lacks the higher frame rates of the other Mission 1 cameras, but supports 10-bit GP-Log2 color and 32-bit float audio.

The Mission 1 Pro ($700) is the flagship fixed-lens model this year, aimed at the professional (or semi-pro) videographer. It has upgraded frame-rate capture to 8K at 60 fps and 4K at 240 fps, along with an extreme “burst” slow-motion mode that hits 960 fps at 1080p. It also captures 4:3 “Open Gate” recordings at 8K/30fps and 4K/120fps, covering the entire sensor area, enabling more versatile editing and cropping across different screen sizes, including vertical video.

Steve Dent for Engadget

Then there’s the beastly Mission 1 Pro ILS (Interchangeable Lens System). It swaps the standard GoPro lens for a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount lens. It otherwise shares the same 1-inch sensor and high-speed 8K/60fps video specs as the Pro model. It also matches the Pro model’s $700 price, with an additional $100 discount for GoPro subscribers. However, it won’t be launching until Q3 2026.

All of the Mission 1 Series accessories will be available on a rolling basis beginning May 28, with GoPro’s own wireless mic system (take note, Rode and DJI) priced at $160. If you preorder a Mission 1 or Mission 1 Pro directly from GoPro now, you’ll get the point-and-shoot grip bundled for free. The company still doesn’t have an official release date for the cameras.

Coinbase Announces New Regarding Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)!

Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US, continues to expand its presence in the UK.

At this point, Coinbase recently announced the launch of its cryptocurrency-backed lending service in the UK.

Coinbase stated in a press release that users in the UK can borrow in $USDC using Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), and cbETH as collateral.

Users can borrow $USDC by offering $BTC, $ETH, or cbETH as collateral. Accordingly, Coinbase allows users to borrow up to $5 million in $USDC in exchange for other crypto assets through Morpho on Base.

The service is offered through Morpho, an open-source lending protocol built on the Base network.

According to the announcement, users can access the borrowing feature in the Coinbase app’s “Borrow” section by selecting an asset as collateral and specifying the amount of $USDC they wish to borrow. Morpho then transfers the loan to the user’s Coinbase account within seconds, where it can be converted to British pounds or transferred.

According to the statement, there is no fixed repayment schedule, and borrowers can repay their loans at any time.

“…There is no fixed repayment schedule, and users will always have the flexibility to choose when they repay their loans.”

Coinbase’s UK lending product service launched a year after it introduced crypto-backed loans in the US in January 2025. The initial US offering allowed customers to borrow up to $100,000 (currently $5 million) in $USDC using Bitcoin as collateral. This service is available across the US, excluding New York. Starting with Bitcoin, the lending service has now expanded to include Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Litecoin (LTC).

Coinbase also added that it plans to expand access to cryptocurrency-backed loans to more countries in the near future.

SiriusXM, ABC News Launch Two New Audio Channels

SiriusXM will launch two new channels in collaboration with Disney’s ABC News, expanding its news offering.

“ABC News Live,” a simulcast of ABC News’ live-streaming service, debuted Monday on Channel 796 and on the SiriusXM app, while “20/20 True Crime” will launch launching coming weeks on Channel 794.

In addition to the new channels, two ABC News programs will soon be available on SiriusXM’s P.O.T.U.S., found on Channel 124. Both “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” and the “Start Here Weekend” newscast will launch later in the spring.

ABC News joins other mainstream news outlets, including NBC News, MS NOW, CNBC, Fox News, Bloomberg, BBC World Service and NPR that are already in the company’s content lineup.

“ABC News Live” delivers breaking news from across the United States and around the world. Listeners can get new developments in politics, weather, health, business, and more. “20/20 True Crime” will serve as a destination for in-depth storytelling from “20/20” and ABC News. The channel will feature narrative podcasts, full episodes of “20/20,” installments of “20/20: The After Show,” and curated cases from the “20/20 True Crime Vault.”

“This Week with George Stephanopoulos” is anchored by George Stephanopoulos, and co-anchored by Martha Raddatz and Jonathan Karl. The show features newsmaker interviews, in-the-field reporting, and panel discussions. “Start Here Weekend,” hosted by Brad Mielke, dives deeper into the stories driving headlines through in-depth conversations with ABC News correspondents, experts, and newsmakers.

Starting this weekend, This Week can be heard on P.O.T.U.S. every Sunday at 2pm ET, with Start Here Weekend available on Saturdays at 9am and 6pm ET.

European Film Industry Up in Arms Over Planned Creative Europe MEDIA Program Overhaul

European trade organizations representing the full film industry sector spectrum are up in arms against the EU Commission’s plans to make major changes to its Creative Europe funding program by combining its culture and media strands under the so-called AgoraEU initiative.

As the deadline looms for the new 2028-2034 financial framework to be implemented in Brussels, the orgs — which comprise the European Producers Club, Europa Distribution and arthouse cinemas org Cicae — issued a joint statement on Monday “urging the European Parliament” and member states “to preserve the identity and the core objectives of the Creative Europe — MEDIA program” and to reinforce its impact on the entire film value chain and ensure that the “intrinsic and artistic value of culture” remain “at the heart of the program.”

One crucial bone of contention is that under the planned overhaul, the budget of the MEDIA program — which supports EU film-TV-videogame development, distribution, training and promotion — would most likely shrink from its current €2.44 billion ($2.8 billion) for 2021-2027 to a total €3.2 billion ($3.7 billion) sum that in 2028-2034 would be allocated to the new MEDIA+ program covering film, TV and video games on the one hand, but also going to the news media sector. This blurs the boundaries and risks jeopardizing some of the film and audiovisual industry support.

The EU funding overhaul proposal refers generically to “media” bunching together film, TV, video games and also the news, immersive reality and multimedia industries, the trade organizations complained.

“The word ‘film’ should be reintroduced, to clearly distinguish the film and audiovisual sector from the broader media sector and avoid confusion that could undermine the specificities and independence of each sector,” they said.

Creative Europe’s MEDIA Program has been a crucial EU film and TV industry driver for the past 35 years.

Critical Report for Bitcoin (BTC) and Altcoins! The Table is Good for Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH), Bad for XRP and This Altcoin!

Bitcoin ($BTC), which surged on Friday following Iran’s reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, climbed above $78,000.

However, this rise was short-lived. Bitcoin fell again as the US did not lift the blockade despite the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and in response, Iran attacked a US merchant ship.

Bitcoin, which had fallen as low as $73,000, rose again to over $75,000, while Coinshares released its cryptocurrency report stating that there was a $1.4 billion inflow last week.

“Cryptocurrency investment products saw an inflow of $1.4 billion. This marks the third consecutive positive week and the strongest figure since January. With the improvement in risk appetite, Bitcoin surpassed $76,000.”

Bitcoin ($BTC) Continues to Remain Strong!

Looking at crypto funds individually, inflows are concentrated in Bitcoin. $BTC experienced inflows of $1.11 million, while the largest altcoin, Ethereum (ETH), saw inflows of $328 million.

Looking at other altcoins, $XRP experienced an outflow of $56.2 million after strong weeks. Besides $XRP, Solana (SOL) also saw an outflow of $2.3 million, while Sui (SUI) experienced an inflow of $2.2 million and Chainlink (LINK) saw an inflow of $5.3 million.

“Bitcoin saw $1.11 billion in inflows, bringing total inflows since the beginning of the year to $3.1 billion. Breaking above the $76,000 level represents a significant technical development after two months of sideways movement.”

There was a modest inflow of $1.4 million into Bitcoin short positions. This indicates that demand for hedging, albeit limited, continues.

Ethereum experienced its strongest week since January, seeing inflows of $328 million and bringing its total inflows since the beginning of the year to $197 million.

On the other hand, $XRP Solana recorded outflows of $56 million and $2.3 million respectively.

Looking at regional fund inflows and outflows, the US ranked first with an inflow of $1.49 billion.

After the US, Germany ranked second with $28 million in inflows, while Canada came in third with $8.3 million.

These inflows were followed by Switzerland being the only country to experience outflows, with $137.8 million.

U.S.-Iran ceasefire ends, Tesla earnings: Crypto Week Ahead
Crypto heads into the new week with its Friday rally on shakier ground.

The announced reopening of the Strait of Hormuz sent oil lower and pushed risk assets higher, including bitcoin and the wider crypto market. The opening reversed on Saturday, with Iran firing at ships attempting to pass and the U.S. seizing an Iranian-flagged tanker on Sunday.

With the ceasefire set to expire by mid-week, traders will be watching whether the risk-on rotation can survive a renewed energy shock.

The technical level to watch is clear. Luke Nolan, senior ETH research associate at CoinShares, told CoinDesk the follow-through hinges on bitcoin holding its ETF cost basis near $74,000.

“With Hormuz reopening, oil is off and equities have caught a bid back to ATHs, pulling crypto higher with it,” Nolan said. “Follow-through now hinges on BTC decisively holding above its ETF cost basis (~$74k), which would confirm the risk-on rotation already visible in flows. ETF flows have turned positive the last three sessions, and a pickup in that pace would be supportive of the move higher.”

A decisive hold above $74,000 into the ceasefire deadline, paired with a fourth straight session of positive ETF inflows, would validate the rotation thesis. A break below would bring volatility back into the sector.
