Industry voices describe "Flight Risk" as a spectacular and awe-inspiring event, expected to be one of the most significant theatrical releases in this genre in a generation.
Meanwhile, in the world of music, the MTV Video Music Awards are taking place, with Lady Gaga leading the nominations. This year, Gaga is closely followed by Bruno Mars. Last year, Taylor Swift won the most awards.
