NEW YORK (AP) — For almost three decades, off and on, Jeff Goldblum has played Dr. Ian Malcolm with particular Goldblumian panache. 

As the stylish chaos theorist in the “Jurassic Park” and “Jurassic World” films, Goldblum is both voice of reason and comedy relief at once, an auger of nature’s unpredictability who can’t help marveling at seeing his theories in action, even if that poses immediate danger to himself. 

It’s one of the 69-year-old actor’s best-known characters, yet Goldblum has a way of being less defined by his roles than putting his idiosyncratic spin on them. Life finds a way in “Jurassic Park” and its sequels, and so does Goldblum.

The movie debuted with $124 million last weekend. Overseas, director Joseph Kosinski’s film is performing even better. 

In 64 overseas markets, “Top Gun: Maverick” dipped only 20% in its second weekend with $81.7 million.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas chapels of love that use Elvis Presley’s likeness could find themselves becoming Heartbreak Hotels. 

The licensing company that controls the name and image of Elvis is ordering some Sin City chapel operators to stop using Elvis in themed wedding ceremonies.

LONDON (AP) — British prosecutors have charged actor Kevin Spacey with four counts of sexual assault against three men. 

The Crown Prosecution Service said Thursday that Spacey “has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.” 

Rosemary Ainslie, head of the service’s Special Crime Division, said the charges follow a review of evidence gathered by London’s Metropolitan Police. 

Spacey, a 62-year-old double Academy Award winner, was questioned by British police in 2019 about claims by several men that he had assaulted them. The former “House of Cards” star ran London’s Old Vic Theatre between 2004 and 2015. 

The charges were announced as Spacey was testifying in a courtroom in New York City in a civil lawsuit.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Obi-Wan Kenobi” — now that’s a name casual “Star Wars” fans haven’t heard in a long time. 

The Jedi master gets his own moment in the suns in a new six-part Disney+ series starring Ewan McGregor. 

It’s set halfway between George Lucas’ two trilogies: 10 years after “Episode III: Revenge of the Sith,” which marked McGregor’s last prequel appearance as the character, and nine years before the late Alec Guinness made his hooded, howling entrance as Ben Kenobi in “Episode IV: A New Hope.” 

A Kenobi film project featuring McGregor had been scrapped in favor of the streaming series, directed by Deborah Chow and launching its first two episodes Friday.

CANNES, France (AP) — Most in the film industry thought Ethan Coen was done with making movies. Coen says he thought was done, too. 

But on Sunday, Coen premiered his first documentary, “Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind,” at the Cannes Film Festival, a movie that was announced only when the festival lineup was last month. 

The film, which A24 will distribute later this year, is a blistering portrait of the rock ‘n’ roll and country legend, made almost entirely with archival footage, with riveting extended performances instead of talking heads. It’s Coen’s first film without his brother Joel, who together for three decades formed one of the movies’ most cohesive and unshakable partnerships.

NEW YORK (AP) — After sitting on the shelf for two years due to the pandemic, “Top Gun: Maverick” is flying full throttle into theaters this week. 

After kicking off aboard the USS Midway aircraft carrier in San Diego, Cruise and company have been on a worldwide promotional tour including a stop at the Cannes Film Festival. 

Where countless decades-later sequels have crashed and burned, “Top Gun: Maverick” may be a retro-blockbuster that succeeds. 

With visceral dogfights filmed inside with up to six cameras in the cockpit and a surprisingly emotional storyline, “Top Gun: Maverick” makes a thunderous case for the need for speed — and for the big screen.
