Walt Disney World announced plans for a major expansion to its Animal Kingdom theme park. Construction will begin this fall on an 11-acre area called Pueblo Esperanza, themed around tropical South and Central America. Slated to open in 2027, the new land will feature attractions based on “Indiana Jones” and Disney’s animated hit “Encanto.”
Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Experiences, said Imagineers are designing unique experiences for the new attractions. Central Florida will see dirt moving and building plans being drawn as Disney teams get to work bringing these stories to life in real places.
A key part of Pueblo Esperanza will be a first-of-its-kind Indiana Jones adventure. Riders will explore a recently uncovered Maya temple in search of a rumored mythical creature, just like archaeologist Indiana Jones. Actor Ke Huy Quan, who appeared in the Indiana Jones films, made a surprise appearance at the announcement event.

In this edition of Screen’s Cannes Close-Up series of interviews, Spanish filmmaker Elena López Riera explains how the festival allows her open doors with international producers, and reveals which director she saw proposing at a party.
López Riera’s short film Pueblo and follow-up feature El Agua both premiered at Directors’ Fortnight, whilst her latest, The Southern Brides, is playing at Critics’ Week this year.
“It’s a documentary about the sexuality of older women and also about my relationship with my inheritance as a woman from the south of Spain,” says López Riera of the project.

Mad Men, Season 6, Episode 3: “The Collaborators”
Written by Jonathan Igla and Matthew Weiner
Directed by Jon Hamm
Airs Sundays at 10pm Et on AMC
There is an undercurrent of war present in “The Collaborators,” exclusively in the scenes concerning infidelity. Pete flirts with his neighbors at a party and is struck with the news that North Koreans have taken captive a Us ship. A moment of post-coital bliss shared by Don and Sylvia is interrupted by news reports of the Tet Offensive. Dr. Rosen engages Don in discussion of both events at dinner before he has to take a call, leaving Don and Sylvia alone together. Johnny Carson is interrupted by a report from Vietnam as Pete anxiously awaits Trudy’s return. It’s worth pointing out that both these events—the Tet Offensive and the Pueblo affair—involved countries violating treaties.
The most electrifying declaration of war comes courtesy of Trudy Campbell.
