Miley Cyrus Announces New Song ‘Dream As One’ for Avatar: Fire and Ash, Inspired by LA Fires

Tanisha Cardozo

Miley Cyrus has announced a brand-new original song titled Dream As One, created especially for James Cameron’s upcoming sci-fi epic Avatar: Fire and Ash. The song will play over the film’s end credits and will be released as a single on November 14, ahead of the movie’s theatrical release in December.

Cyrus revealed the song through a short social media teaser, sharing that it was inspired by the devastating wildfires that swept across Los Angeles earlier this year. “Honored to support Avatar: Fire and Ash with an original song I’ve written with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt,” she wrote in her announcement. “Having been personally affected by fire and being rebuilt from the ashes, this project holds profound meaning for me. Thank you, Jim, for the opportunity to turn that experience into musical medicine.”

Dream As One marks a collaboration between Cyrus, award-winning producers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, and composer Simon Franglen, who is also scoring the film. According to Cyrus, the song’s message of unity, love, and healing deeply connects with the emotional themes of Avatar: Fire and Ash. “To be even a small star in the universe the Avatar family has created is truly a dream come true,” she added.

The release continues Cyrus’s streak of cinematic music moments — following her contribution to The Last Showgirl soundtrack last year with the song Beautiful That Way. Earlier this year, she also released her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, accompanied by a visual film project.

The upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash will see the return of Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña as Jake and Neytiri, as they face loss and encounter a new Na’vi tribe led by Varang, played by Oona Chaplin. The tribe’s uneasy alliance with antagonist Quaritch, portrayed by Stephen Lang, promises new conflict and emotional depth. James Cameron has confirmed that this third installment will be the longest in the franchise so far.

While Dream As One debuts on November 14, the full Avatar: Fire and Ash soundtrack — composed by Simon Franglen — will release on December 12. The film hits UK cinemas on December 19, continuing the cinematic journey through Pandora’s breathtaking world, now with Miley Cyrus’s voice echoing through its closing moments.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence to Star in Martin Scorsese’s “Ghost Story What Happens At Night”

Tanisha Cardozo

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence are officially set to co-star in Martin Scorsese’s next film, What Happens At Night, a chilling adaptation of the novel by the same name. The project brings together three cinematic powerhouses in what is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films in development.

The story, written for the screen by Patrick Marber (Closer), centers on a married couple who travel to Europe to adopt a child. What starts as a hopeful journey takes a darker turn when they check into a cavernous, deteriorating hotel teeming with eccentric guests and haunted histories. The novel, known for its haunting atmosphere and psychological depth, will be brought to life under Scorsese’s visionary direction.

This marks the first time Jennifer Lawrence will work with Scorsese as a director. She is currently set to appear in the feature film Die, My Love, which Scorsese is producing. DiCaprio, on the other hand, has been a longtime collaborator with the legendary filmmaker, most recently in Killers of the Flower Moon. Their partnership has consistently delivered critically acclaimed and commercially successful films, making this new project all the more exciting for fans.

Apple Original Films is currently in discussions to finance and produce the movie, with Studiocanal also in talks to co-produce. If finalized, this would mark another high-profile project for Apple, which has steadily built a reputation for backing bold, auteur-driven films.

Outside of this project, DiCaprio will next be seen in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, while Lawrence is set to star in the already buzzworthy Die, My Love. Meanwhile, Scorsese is also juggling several other projects, including a Hawaii-set crime drama rumored to feature Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt.

What Happens At Night promises a return to the kind of psychological storytelling that Scorsese excels at—layered, immersive, and laced with tension. With a stellar cast, a celebrated screenwriter, and one of the greatest directors at the helm, the film is poised to be a standout release in the years ahead.

Sydney Sweeney Reportedly Offered ₹530 Crore Deal for Bollywood Debut in Mega-Budget Film

Hollywood’s rising star Sydney Sweeney might soon shine in Indian cinema, as reports suggest she has been offered a record-breaking ₹530 crore (£45 million) deal to appear in one of Bollywood’s most expensive films ever produced.

According to a report by The Sun, a leading Indian production house has approached the actor with a package comprising:

  • £35 million (₹415 crore) fee
  • £10 million (₹115 crore) sponsorship agreements

Producers believe Sydney’s international appeal will help the film expand its reach beyond Indian audiences, making it a global cinematic event.

The film, expected to begin shooting in early 2026, is planned across multiple international locations including New York, Paris, London, and Dubai. The storyline reportedly revolves around a young American star who falls in love with an Indian celebrity, blending cross-cultural romance with global appeal.

An industry insider revealed:

“Sydney was shocked by the offer at first — £45 million is an incredible sum. But the project is intriguing, and it could elevate her global profile even further. The Indian film industry is powerful and growing, and this movie is designed to bring its productions to the international market.”

While the actor is currently balancing several projects in Hollywood, this opportunity could mark a defining step in her career.

“Nothing has been decided yet, but it’s a huge opportunity. Sydney is weighing her options carefully,” added the source.

If confirmed, this collaboration would mark one of the biggest Hollywood-Bollywood crossovers in film history, signaling the growing influence of Indian cinema on the global stage.

Warner Bros Discovery Shares Surge Amid Paramount Skydance Buyout Rumors

Written by Intern Queeny George M.H , Team Allycaral

Shares in Warner Bros Discovery surged by 29% on Thursday, and Paramount Skydance jumped 16%, following reports that Paramount Skydance is preparing a full takeover offer for the rival studio. The potential deal, which could dramatically reshape the U.S. media landscape, would include Warner Bros Discovery’s key assets — news network CNN, premium cable channel HBO, and the film studio behind global franchises such as Barbie and Harry Potter.

The Wall Street Journal reported that although a formal bid has not yet been submitted, discussions are underway and could fall apart. The move would be one of the largest consolidation plays in the media industry’s recent history, which has already been reshaped by the streaming revolution and a flurry of mergers and acquisitions. The industry is also facing increased political scrutiny, particularly from President Donald Trump’s administration.

Warner Bros Discovery declined to comment on the potential bid, and Paramount Skydance did not respond to requests for comment.

David Ellison, head of Skydance and son of tech billionaire Larry Ellison, is at the center of the reported deal. A Hollywood producer with credits including Top Gun: Maverick and World War Z, Ellison is also said to be closing in on a deal to buy The Free Press, a digital outlet co-founded by journalist Bari Weiss.

His father, Larry Ellison, a known Trump ally, briefly overtook Elon Musk this week to become the world’s richest person with a net worth of over $380 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Earlier this year, Trump had publicly floated Ellison as a possible buyer of TikTok.

The deal adds a complex political layer, as Paramount has recently faced backlash over a $16 million settlement related to a legal battle with Trump over an interview with Kamala Harris. The settlement included no admission of wrongdoing but has drawn criticism from Democrats, who have labeled it a “bribe” and requested documentation from the company.

Paramount earlier this year announced it would be splitting its business to separate its streaming services from traditional cable offerings, potentially laying the groundwork for a major structural shift — and a possible acquisition. If the reported bid materializes, it would catapult Ellison’s role in Hollywood and U.S. politics to the next level, signaling a bold new era in the ongoing battle for media dominance.
