President Donald Trump has selected his next White House press secretary: Katie Zacharia, a conservative commentator.

A White House official confirmed that she had been offered the job, but it was unclear whether she has accepted.

Zacharia has been the senior communications adviser to the Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Trump’s social media venture, Truth Social. She also has worked as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security under Kristi Noem. She has been a commentator at Newsmax and has appeared on Fox News and Fox Business.

She would succeed Karoline Leavitt, who stepped down during the summer after giving birth.

More to come.

EXCLUSIVE: For the first time since its 2024 launch, Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis will return to theaters in a limited engagement that will allow audiences to interact with the iconic director. Coppola decided when he self-financed and shot the provocative film that it would not be put through any domestic-based streaming services or DVDs produced for the U.S. market. He felt it was now time to put it back out.

Reading International, Inc. has booked the film in many its cinemas nationwide (from New York to Hawaii) to screen simultaneously on October 24, 2026. Venues will include Village East Cinemas in New York, and venues around the country. This will be followed by a live-streamed Q&A with Coppola, moderated by his son and collaborator, Roman Coppola, who was second unit director on the picture. Audience members will be able to text-in their questions before, during, and after the film. The filmmaker will answer the best ones live during the presentation.

“Megalopolis is back in its rightful place, Theaters, and the interest in seeing it as was intended is growing, said Coppola. “I am excited to take part in an interactive Q & A across multiple theaters simultaneously.”

Coppola spent a fortune to personally stake a film that became one of the most expensive indies ever, one he’d been dreaming about for decades. Much the way that audiences continue to discover his other films, Coppola hoped Megalopolis would follow a similar track, and that it will be viewed and debated long after he has passed away. He believes its themes of rebuilding cities and the polarizing political factions will be continually relevant. The film’s ensemble cast is headed by Adam Driver, Shia LaBeouf, Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, Nathalie Emmanuel, Laurence Fishburne, Aubrey Plaza and Giancarlo Esposito.

Each screening will also include hard copy letters from Francis given to each audience member, containing his official director’s statement about the film for audience members to read before watching the film. Each screening will also include the famed unique “Live Element,” which was only available at select screenings when the film was first released. Megalopolis will find its way back in theaters periodically going forward, including the tradition of the film screening at multiple theaters every New Year’s Day. This fulfills a wish from Coppola to have the film be shown on this day as a symbol of coming together and discussing ideas for improvement as a society.

Black Bear has acquired domestic rights to Honeymoon / Funeral, an MRC rom-com starring Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee and Carrie Coon that wrapped production in September.

Sources said the project is one of a handful to have been successfully shopped at the newly created TIFF market, alongside Josh Giuliano’s horror flick River and the Michelle Yeoh starrer The Surgeon.

Directed by two-time Emmy nominee Nahnatchka Khan, Honeymoon / Funeral follows two women (Ferguson and Lee) who meet on a flight from LA to London – one en route to her honeymoon by herself after being left at the altar by her girlfriend, the other headed home for her mother’s funeral – and wind up spending the week together.

Khan and Jennifer Carreras produced for Fierce Baby, alongside Emmy nominee Julia Bicknell, who penned the script. MRC financed and oversaw production, with FilmNation Entertainment acting as worldwide sales agent.

Katie Anderson, Black Bear’s EVP of Acquisitions, called Honeymoon / Funeral “an original and hilarious story that is deeply human, anchored by the performances of Rebecca, Greta, and Carrie, three of the best actresses working today.”

Anderson added, “We can’t wait to partner with our friends at MRC and FilmNation to share this world that Nahnatchka and Julia have created with audiences.”

Next up for domestic release via Black Bear is Wicker, starring Academy Award winner Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, and Peter Dinklage, on October 23.
