The White Lotus
HBO’s “The White Lotus” is set in France, and now new details have emerged confirming the new run will be shot at a 19th-century palace-turned-luxury hotel called the Château de La Messardière in Saint-Tropez on the Côte d’Azur. It’s a place where suites run from $3,000 to $8,000 (and more) per night.
Filming begins at the end of April and runs through October with only some scenes shot there. Others will be done along the French Riviera and with some scenes also filmed at a Paris hotel. Alexander Ludwig and AJ Michalka are confirmed at present as starring. [Source: Variety]

Wonder Man
Marvel’s “Wonder Man” has released a new 30-second promo, one that features lead character Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) wearing the MCU’s new take on Wonder Man’s comic book costume.
Whether it’s just for the ‘Wonder Man’ film being made within the series, or meant to be an actual superhero outfit, isn’t clear. Ben Kingsley co-stars in the series which premieres with all eight episodes at once on the Disney+ service on January 27th.
