Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser weather the storm together in WWII film 'Pressure'

We all know bad weather has the power to wreck plans, but it's a little different when those plans involve the most pivotal operation in World War II. 

The new film Pressure, out Friday, recounts this little-known piece of WWII history. 

Andrew Scott stars as Capt. James Stagg, the meteorologist tasked with forecasting the weather for D-Day. When he realizes that a storm is on its way to derail the Allied Forces’ plans for the massive seaborne invasion, he must deliver the bad news to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, played by Oscar winner Brendan Fraser. Together, they need to find a way forward or risk losing the war — and with just 72 hours to make a crucial decision, the pressure is a lot more than barometric.

“Who doesn't want Brendan Fraser yelling in your face?” Scott jokes of their tense scenes together.

“I love the fact that they're two quite formidable characters, but in very, very different ways, from very, very different cultures, who ultimately have a great deal of respect for each other, and a great deal of humility about their position in the world and what their duty is,” he tells ABC Audio.

Scott adds that it’s moving to see two people who wanted to do the right thing by the world rather than peacock their own achievements.

It was a quality Fraser came to admire about future U.S. president Eisenhower and how he ultimately humanized such an imposing historical figure for the film.

“The things that were important to me that I grew to admire about Eisenhower were his ability to listen to people rather than just hear them and also that he took accountability for the choices that he made,” Fraser says.

Andie MacDowell and Kevin Bacon are joining the Emily Henry rom-com universe.

The actors have joined the cast of the film adaptation of the bestselling novel Beach Read, ABC Audio has learned. They join Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor and The White Lotus' Patrick Schwarzenegger, who are set to star in the film. Production will begin on the picture in June.

Beach Read follows the character January Andrews, a romance novelist who struggles with writer's block due to her grief after the death of her father and her discovery of the secrets he kept.

January spends the summer at her father's Michigan beach house as she prepares to sell it. While there, she reconnects with Gus Everett, a fellow author and her formal college rival. The pair spark an unexpected romance after they agree to partake in a writing challenge to get them out of their respective writing ruts.

Yulin Kuang, who co-wrote the Netflix film adaptation of Henry's novel People We Meet on Vacation, will direct Beach Read for 20th Century Studios from her own script.

This is the latest adaptation of one of Henry's works, following the Netflix release of People We Meet on Vacation in January. Three of her other novels — Book Lovers, Funny Story and Happy Place — are also currently being adapted for the screen.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and 20th Century Studios.

'Deli Boys' stars Saagar Shaikh, Asif Ali unpack season 2

Deli Boys is back for more.

The Hulu comedy series has returned for season 2. The show follows two Pakistani-American brothers who lose everything when their convenience store-magnate father suddenly dies. They're forced to reckon with their father's secret double life in the crime world as they try to take up his mantle.

Saagar Shaikh and Asif Ali star as Raj Dar and Mir Dar in the series. Season 1 ended with the brothers uncovering who was responsible for their father's death. The actors told ABC Audio what fans can expect in the aftermath of that discovery throughout season 2.

Ali says Mir "has the confidence of whatever his plan is for the business."

"He's using that to do whatever it takes to make sure that the business is secure. But the recklessness is in his lack of consideration for the family," Ali said. "He's foregoing his personal life and everyone in the interest of making sure that DarCo is #1."

As for Raj, Shaikh says "he's trying to get back to the person he used to be" in the wake of learning Ahmad (Brian George) was responsible for his father's death.

"But in order to get there, he has to finish this guy off, because this guy is living rent-free in his mind. And he can't be the vibes guy if this guy is always on Raj's mind," Shaikh tells ABC Audio.

As for how season 2 differs from season 1, Shaik says it's faster and punchier this time around. Ali agrees, saying, "You're just right into the roller coaster and it just doesn't let up until the end."

All six episodes of Deli Boys season 2 are available to watch on Hulu now.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.

Matthew Perry's assistant sentenced to over 3 years for injecting ketamine that killed 'Friends' actor

Matthew Perry's live-in assistant was sentenced on Wednesday to nearly 3 1/2 years in prison for administering the dose of ketamine that killed the Friends actor in 2023.

Kenneth Iwamasa, 61, is one of five people charged and convicted in what federal prosecutors called a conspiracy to illegally distribute ketamine to Perry. The assistant pleaded guilty in August 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine resulting in death.

U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett sentenced him to 41 months in prison and fined him $10,000, the Department of Justice said.

Prosecutors said Iwamasa, the final defendant to be sentenced in the case, injected Perry with ketamine repeatedly in the weeks before the actor's death without proper medical training — including the fatal dose on Oct. 28, 2023.

"When defendant Kenneth Iwamasa was hired as Matthew Perry's live-in personal assistant, he was acutely aware that Mr. Perry had suffered from drug addiction for most of his life. But rather than help Mr. Perry maintain sobriety, defendant became his enabler and drug supplier," prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum ahead of Wednesday's sentencing hearing in Los Angeles federal court. "As defendant injected more and more ketamine into Mr. Perry, he saw — and was the only person to see — clear warning signs that Mr. Perry was in danger."

Prosecutors said Iwamasa found Perry unconscious inside his home at least two times in October 2023, as well as seeing him "freeze up" after a large injection, but, "ignoring these warnings," continued to inject him with illicit ketamine.

In the days leading up to Perry's death, Iwamasa injected him with "significant quantities of ketamine," prosecutors wrote. On the day Perry fatally overdosed, Iwamasa injected him with two doses before Perry asked him to prepare the jacuzzi and to "shoot me up a big one," prosecutors wrote.

Soon after administering the third dose, Iwamasa left to run errands for Perry and, upon returning, found him dead, face down in the jacuzzi, according to prosecutors.

Following Perry's death, Iwamasa "continued his wrongdoing by destroying evidence and taking other steps to cover his tracks and obstruct justice," prosecutors wrote. They allege he cleaned up ketamine bottles and syringes from the scene and omitted ketamine from the list of Perry's medications while being questioned by officers after calling 911.

Iwamasa ultimately provided "significant cooperation" in the government's investigation, including information on other defendants, prosecutors said while asking for 41 months of imprisonment.

In response to the government's sentencing memo, defense attorneys argued that Iwamasa did not abuse his "trusted position," saying he was an employee and "acted at all relevant times at the victim's direction rather than pursuant to his own discretion."

"Perhaps Defendant's employment relationship with the victim enabled him to more readily participate in the conspiracy to distribute drugs to the victim than a man on the street, but it should be noted that a number of proverbial men on the street did in fact participate in the same conspiracy," they wrote. "Multiple third parties were involved who did not share the same relationship with the victim. That fact alone should overcome the inference that it was Defendant's particular relationship with the victim that facilitated the crime."

Prosecutors said Iwamasa worked with two doctors to obtain ketamine for Perry, before turning to two dealers to obtain dozens of vials of ketamine, including the doses that killed the actor.

Iwamasa had known Perry since around 1992 before becoming his live-in assistant in 2022 for $150,000 a year, according to prosecutors. His responsibilities included those related to Perry's medical care, they said.

In a victim impact statement filed ahead of the sentencing, Perry's mother said the family was relieved when Perry took on an assistant whom she said understood the actor's battles with drug addiction, and that they all trusted Iwamasa.

"Kenny's most important job — by far — was to be my son's companion and guardian in his fight against addiction. His number one responsibility — ensure that Matthew remained what he wanted to be: drug free," she wrote. "Kenny knew, should he feel unduly pressured, that with one phone call to any number of the people in Matthew's orbit, reinforcements would be on the way, and his job would be safe."

"But instead of protecting Matthew, he aided and abetted illegal drug taking, arranged for one source of supply, then another. Shot the drugs into Matthew's body though he was not in the least qualified," she continued. "He did it even though he could see, anyone could have seen, it was so obviously dangerous. And he did it again and again."

Iwamasa is the fifth and final defendant in the case to be sentenced in the scheme to illegally distribute ketamine to Perry.

Prosecutors said Jasveen Sangha, reportedly known as the "Ketamine Queen," worked with Erik Fleming to distribute 51 vials of her ketamine to Iwamasa, including the doses that killed Perry.

Sangha was sentenced last month to 15 years in prison. She pleaded guilty last year to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury.

Fleming was sentenced earlier this month to two years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death.

The two doctors convicted in the case were sentenced last year.

Mark Chavez, who once ran a ketamine clinic, admitted to selling fraudulently obtained ketamine to Salvador Plasencia, who briefly treated Perry, which was then sold to the actor in the weeks before his death.

Chavez pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and was sentenced to eight months of home confinement in December 2025.

Plasencia pleaded guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine and was sentenced to 30 months in prison in December 2025.

They both surrendered their medical licenses.

Spielberg continues, saying, "This is a story about us. All of us, up against the most extraordinary event in human history."

David Koepp, the writer of Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, wrote the screenplay for this new movie.

Disclosure Day arrives in theaters on June 12.

Movies more likely to star talking animals or men named Chris than women over 60, study finds

A new study has found that talking animals and men named Chris are more likely to star on the big screen than women over 60.

The study was conducted by the Centre for Aging Better through research from the Age Without Limits campaign. It revealed that the 100 highest-grossing films in the U.K. from the years 2023 through 2025 are four times more likely to have a talking animal as the lead character than an actress older than 60.

Additionally, six of the 100 movies starred an actor named Chris, while only five starred a woman older than 60.

In response to the study, actress Emma Thompson said, "Women are half the population and we get older. So where are the stories about us? The older we get, the more interesting we are. I want to see more films centre ageing women, we are compelling, relatable, and overdue for centre stage. Older women don’t need permission to exist on screen. They already exist in the world, cinema just needs to catch up."

The five actresses older than 60 to lead a film in the past three years are Jennifer Saunders in Allelujah, Nia Vardalos in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, Diane Keaton in Book Club: The Next Chapter, Demi Moore in The Substance and Jamie Lee Curtis in Freakier Friday.

Meanwhile, the Chrises who make up the films led by men named Chris are Chris Pratt in The Super Mario Bros Movie, Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Pratt in The Garfield Movie, Chris Pine in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Chris Hemsworth in Transformers One and Christian Friedel in The Zone of Interest.

Going further, The Garfield Movie is both a movie starring a guy named Chris and a movie starring a talking animal.

Survey questions, methodology and results have not been verified or endorsed by ABC News or The Walt Disney Company.

Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) in 'Toy Story 5.' (Pixar)

The final trailer for Toy Story 5 has arrived just as tickets for the film have gone on sale.

Disney and Pixar have released a brand-new look at the upcoming animated sequel film. Everyone's favorite toys — including Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack) and Forky (Tony Hale) — are back in this new look that shows off how Jessie feels about the new high-tech, frog-shaped smart tablet Lilypad, and the threat she brings to playtime.

"Are we getting donated?" Rex the dinosaur (Wallace Shawn) asks, after which Karen Beverly (Melissa Villaseñor) says, "Mmm, doughnuts!" Her partner, Forky, has to tell her, "No, sweetie. Do-na-ted!"

Joining the cast of the film is music superstar Bad Bunny. He plays the role of Pizza with Sunglasses. The cameo character is described as "effortlessly cool and mysterious" and "is a member of a small but mighty community of forgotten toys that live in an abandoned backyard shed."

Also announced as part of the film's voice cast is Alan Cumming. He will take on the voice of Evil Bullseye, a playtime alter ego of the lovable character Bullseye.

"While Woody’s trusty steed still lacks the power of speech in the world of Toy Story, Cumming provides Bullseye’s voice during a funny playtime sequence in the film," according to a press release.

Toy Story 5 is directed by WALL-E and Finding Nemo helmer Andrew Stanton and co-directed by Kenna Harris. Randy Newman returns to score his fifth Toy Story film. The movie rides like the wind into theaters on June 19.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is set to make her Broadway debut.

The actress will take to the stage in the first Broadway revival of the Tony Award-winning play Other Desert Cities.

Louis-Dreyfus will be joined by a cast that includes Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Lily Rabe and Stranger Things star Joe Keery, who also makes his Broadway debut in the production.

Other Desert Cities is scheduled for a 16-week limited engagement at New York's Hudson Theatre. Performances begin on Sept. 29 with an opening night set for Oct. 18. The show will run until Jan. 17, 2027.

Tony Award winner John Benjamin Hickey is set to direct the revival of the play, which was written by Jon Robin Baitz. The show follows a family who have a huge secret.

"On Christmas Eve, the sunlit Palm Springs home of a politically connected family becomes a battleground of memory, loyalty, and legacy when a daughter returns with a memoir and the power to expose the explosive truth they’ve kept hidden. As the past comes into focus, the question isn’t just what happened, but who owns a family’s story, and what is the cost to tell it," according to an official description.

Baitz said he had more or less "talked myself out of imagining Other Desert Cities back in New York."

"But John Hickey is family to me, and I trust him completely. We go back longer than I ever imagined: he hears a play – its ideas, its feeling, its music – with an intelligence and knowingness that anchors a room," Baitz said. "And with this company of actors, a playwright dreams about, I thought that if there were still something alive in it, they would find it."
