NextEvo Naturals (“NextEvo™” or the “Company”), a premium supplement brand focused on revolutionizing the delivery of nutritional compounds, today announced two exciting updates.
The first being the launch of a new extra strength version of its great-tasting CBD gummies. Each Extra Strength Daily Wellness CBD Gummy contains 20 mg of fast-absorbing, non-GMO, vegan, and THC-free CBD. Flavored with a delicious Berry Mix, these gummies are available in 60 or 90 count items – making them great for on-the-go and home consumption.
The Company is also proud to share a fresh new look for the brand, while maintaining the same dependable, high-quality CBD and vitamin/mineral/supplement combinations. This includes revised labeling to include either ‘Calm’, ‘Sleep', ‘Recovery’, or ‘Daily Wellness’ to better highlight the solutions each product provides.
Each gummy also features the Company’s proprietary Smartsorb™ delivery technology, which increases the bioavailability of CBD so that more gets into your system, starting in as little as 10 minutes. Ultimately, this allows four times the amount of CBD to be delivered to your body, versus other brands that typically use an oil-based CBD, resulting in very poor absorption.
“We’re pleased to bring consumers this valuable innovation as we’ve heard their desire for more potent products, delivered in an elegant form factor. We believe this sets a new standard in the category due to the combination of the highest absorption CBD along with incredible taste and aesthetics”, said John McDonagh, CEO of NextEvo.
NextEvo Naturals is a premium supplement brand that has found a new way to revolutionize the delivery of cannabidiol (CBD) and other nutritional compounds by creating formulations that increase the compound’s potential benefits and consumer value. Led by medical professionals and former scientists from large reputable companies such as Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, and Schiff Nutrition, NextEvo Naturals aims to bridge the gap between the current low-quality CBD offerings on the market and the future of CBD supplements with proprietary technology and evidence-based data.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
LEGAL DISCLOSURE
NextEvo Naturals does not sell or distribute any products that are in violation of the United States Controlled Substances Act.

Rian Johnson provides a promising update on Knives Out 3, the upcoming Netflix sequel to Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Netflix paid big bucks for twoKnives Out sequels. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery debuted last year, but the WGA strike obviously forced writer/director Rian Johnson to pump the brakes on the next installment. However, now that the strike is over, Johnson is back to work on Knives Out 3 and told The Wrap that he’s got the premise nailed down.
“It’s coming along. I obviously couldn’t work during the strike, and now that it’s over, I’m diving in full force, and so it’s coming along,” Rian Johnson said. “I’ve got the premise, I’ve got the setting, I’ve got what the movie is in my head. It’s just a matter of writing the damn thing.“
At the beginning of the year, Johnson was still busy juggling a “big cloud of ideas” for Knives Out 3 but hadn’t settled on anything. “I’m jumping into the next Benoit Blanc next because I can’t think about another story,” Johnson said. “I’ve got a big cloud of ideas, but it hasn’t all snapped into focus yet. It’s exciting, though, and it’s very, very different from this one. That’s what I’m excited about.” The director said that when he’s breaking the story, he doesn’t start with the crime. “I start with the structure of the story, and what the audience’s journey is actually going to be through the story,” Johnson explained. “Which has to do with the crime, but more than that, it has to do with who we care about and why… That’s great, as opposed to, ‘Let’s come up with a great murder’, where you’ll drive yourself insane trying to do it.“
Although Johnson’s contract with Netflix only covers two Knives Out sequels, he teased last November that he’d be down to do more as long as Daniel Craig and himself are still having fun. “As long as the two of us are still having fun, and as long as we can continue to make these truly new experiences each time, and find new ways to challenge ourselves,” Johnson said. “The second we feel like we’re repeating ourselves, or just turning a crank on a machine, we’ll stop. Because to me, the whole conception of this whole series is the same way Agatha Christie did it with her books – we’re doing something new and surprising every time.“
Martin Scorsese explains how Midsommar director Ari Aster influenced his upcoming movie, Killers of the Flower Moon.
Based on David Grann’s best-selling crime thriller, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon tells the real-life mystery of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma in the 1920s, who became wealthy after oil was discovered beneath their land. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off, and the ensuing spiral of conspiracy, greed and murder got so bad that the FBI had to step in. It’s a sprawling story with a nearly three-and-a-half-hour runtime, and Martin Scorsese looked to the films of Ari Aster for influence on its pacing.
“I very much like the style and pacing of good horror films like Ari Aster’s Midsommar or Beau Is Afraid,” Martin Scorsese told The Irish Times. “The pacing of those films goes back to the B films of Val Lewton, Jacques Tourneur’s Cat People or I Walked With a Zombie. Just going a little slower. A little quieter. I was very concerned about allowing scenes that were not narrative into the story, scenes to do with the Osage culture — leaving in those scenes of custom, like the baby namings, the funerals and the weddings — so we could begin to understand a little more about the people. I felt confident that a lot of people would allow themselves to be immersed in the world of the film. One has to take these chances. At this age, what else can I do?“
Martin Scorsese has sung the praises of Ari Aster before, saying that the young director is “One of the most extraordinary new voices in cinema.”
Martin Scorsese spent two years working on the script for Killers of the Flower Moon with co-writer Eric Roth, which was initially set to feature Leonardo DiCaprio playing the FBI agent who investigates the murders. However, DiCaprio made a note that set them in a different direction. “Myself and [my co-screenwriter] Eric Roth talked about telling the story from the point of view of the bureau agents coming in to investigate,” Scorsese said. “After two years of working on the script, Leo came to me and asked, ‘Where is the heart of this story?’ I had had meetings and dinners with the Osage, and I thought, Well, there’s the story. The real story, we felt, was not necessarily coming from the outside, with the bureau, but rather from the inside, from Oklahoma.“
“At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight,” reads the official synopsis. “The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart and Mollie Kyle, Killers of the Flower Moon is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal.“
Killers of the Flower Moon will debut in theaters on October 20th, so be sure to check out a review from our own Chris Bumbray right here.
Lacure Villas continues its expansion of professionally managed villas in premium destinations, including the Caribbean, Europe and the United States. Global Exclusive Villas focuses on marketing to discerning travelers in the UK and Europe.

“We are confident that this expansion in our distribution will further expand our value to our property owners as well as make our remarkable and unique properties more accessible to clients globally.”
“Our hospitality and villa management business was originally formed 40 years ago with the representation of the first luxury Villas with staff. In 2020, we launched Lacure International Inc. as a new company and transformed the business with the expansion to additional destinations with several acquisitions. During that time we have grown the business by 5X.

"The company will not only continue to expand its distribution platform of which Global Exclusive Villas is a perfect example but also seek to add exclusively managed inventory in key destinations that meet our customer demand."
Global Exclusive Villas was formed in 2023 as a subsidiary of Landmark Global Associates LLC, focusing on the management, acquisition, and distribution of luxury vacation rental properties.

Most recently, Mr. Deutsch has developed 50 luxury vacation rental properties in the UK, which will also be available for rent via Global Exclusive Villas. The distribution platform will provide access to Lacure’s portfolio and other unique hand-picked vacation rental inventory for European consumers. This exciting new offering will expand the already significant marketing capabilities and distribution channels already utilized by Lacure’s teams.
Lacure will continue to honor all its existing distribution channels and continue to provide owner services such as guest reservations, back-office accounting, procurement, concierge services, adventure and amenity management, staffing, distribution and pricing as well as project management and real estate services.
“Landmark Global Associates is excited to partner with Lacure on this UK and European distribution expansion which fits with our principal conviction of the long-term growth of the vacation rental industry and the growth in the fully serviced high-end luxury segment in particular. We have had the privilege of advising Lacure on their business strategy, capital raising, and growth opportunities since 2022,” said Markus Deutsch, CEO and Founder of Landmark Global Associates and Global Exclusive Villas.
The partnership is effective immediately, and services to UK and European clients and the travel trade begin on Oct. 19, 2023, with offices in the UK and a dedicated team. Global Exclusive Villas will avail itself of the most up-to-date, seamless customer service platform to take and advise reservations fully integrated with the global Lacure platform.

The Exorcist: Believer made just under $3 million from its Thursday preview screenings, may have an opening weekend in the $30 million range
There’s a new Exorcist movie in theatres now. The Exorcist: Believer (read our review HERE) is tracking to have the highest opening weekend of the entire franchise and might end up pulling in an amount somewhere in the range of 30 to 36 million. Its theatrical run got started last night, and according to The Hollywood Reporter it drew in $2.85 million from those Thursday preview screenings.
Most of the film’s reviews are negative – it currently has a 20% score on Rotten Tomatoes and JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray described it as “abysmal” – so we’ll have to wait and see if that’s going to have any impact on the opening weekend box office.
Director David Gordon Green crafted the story for The Exorcist: Believer with Danny McBride (who wrote all three of the new Halloweens with him) and their Halloween Kills co-writer Scott Teems, then wrote the screenplay with Peter Sattler (Broken Diamonds). Here’s the synopsis: Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding has raised their daughter on his own. But when Angela and her friend Katherine, disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil.
Ellen Burstyn reprises the role of Chris MacNeil, the character she played in the 1973 classic The Exorcist, “an actress who has been forever altered by what happened to her daughter Regan five decades before.” An interview with Burstyn is included in the new featurette. She is joined in the cast by Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton) as Victor, Lidya Jewett (Nightbooks) as Angela, and newcomer Olivia O’Neill as Angela’s friend Katherine. Ann Dowd (The Handmaid’s Tale) plays Victor and Angela’s neighbor, and Jennifer Nettles (The Righteous Gemstones) and Norbert Leo Butz (Fosse/Verdon) play Katherine’s parents. Original The Exorcist star Linda Blair is in there as well, reprising the role of Chris MacNeil’s daughter Regan.
Okwui Okpokwasili (Master) is also in the cast as Doctor Beehibe, and Raphael Sbarge (Carnosaur) plays a pastor.
The Exorcist: Believer was produced by Jason Blum, David Robinson, and James Robinson. Green, McBride, Stephanie Allain, and Couper Samuelson serve as executive producers. Ryan Turek oversaw the project for Blumhouse.
This movie is meant to be the first entry in a new trilogy of Exorcist sequels, and Universal Pictures and Peacock forked over an amount somewhere in the range of $400 million to acquire the rights to distribute this trilogy. Universal has already announced a release date for the second entry; The Exorcist: Deceiver will be reaching theatres on April 18, 2025.
