Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy has told her associates that she plans to retire at the end of 2025, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  Kennedy became co-chair of Lucasfilm in 2012, alongside George Lucas, and later took charge of the unit after Lucas' exit via the Disney buyout. During her tenure, she relaunched the Star Wars franchise with the J.J.Abrams' movies (see "'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Teaser"), and greenlit the first Star Wars streaming series in the franchise's existence (see "New 'Star Wars' Series"). Beyond her time at Lucasfilm, Kennedy's career as a producer dates all the way back to Poltergeist and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial; her most notable work being on the Indiana Jones movies and Back to the Future.

Netflix has tapped Justin Lin to direct BRZRKR, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  Lin, who worked on the Fast & Furious franchise, will helm this movie, which is based on the Keanu Reeves-created comic book by BOOM!

Crunchyroll announced a North American theatrical release date for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle.  This first movie is part of a trilogy, and it will release on September 12, 2025.  Back in 2021, Demon Slayer: Nugen Train was a top-grossing film at the box office (see "’Demon Slayer’ Opens Big in U.S.").

Lionsgate is closing a deal to secure script writers for a Monopoly movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who wrote Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, are being courted to pen the script.  This movie is being produced by LuckyChap, who did the Barbie movie (see "'Barbie' Boffo"), and Hasbro Entertainment.  In addition to the movie, Deadline has also reported that there is an unscripted, real world Monopoly contest series in the works.
