'Saw Patrol' set to be the next 'Barbenheimer' as new movie double bill trend goes viral
It’s the movie event of the year, and “Barbenheimer” has given cinemas a huge boost over the last few weeks. The hype for both Barbie and Oppenheimer is showing no signs of slowing down, but it’s now become clear that it’s not the only unlikely pairing set to take over theatres at the same time in 2023. Later this year, another two incredibly dissimilar films are coming out at the same time – Saw X and PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie. Both are set to be released on September 29, and it could be another case of film fans queuing up for a very diverse double bill. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Barbenheimer brought us some of the best memes of recent times, and film lovers are wasting no time in getting Saw Patrol trending too. Saw X is bringing back Tobin Bell’s John Kramer, with the film acting as a prequel to Saw II. The film’s official synopsis states that we’ll see “a sick and desperate John Kramer travel to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer — only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. “Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged and ingenious traps.” PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, meanwhile, is the follow up to the 2021 big screen adaptation of the hit children’s TV series.

Zoo in China forced to deny their bear is someone in a costume
A zoo in China has been forced to deny that one of their animals is actually a person in a costume. Hangzhou Zoo responded after a video of a Malaysian sun bear sparked debate online, with some claiming that it wasn't a creature at all, but a person in a realistic bear suit. The bear, which goes by the name Angela, is seen standing on its hind legs much like a human would in the clip before a gathered crowd of guests. Many people won’t be familiar with the particular breed of bear. Sun bears are the smallest in the world and the largest only measure 50 inches tall when standing on their hind legs. They are unusual looking creatures, and the sight of them has made some people pretty suspicious – but the zoo has denied the rumours completely. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “Some people think I stand like a person. It seems you don’t understand me very well,” the statement read The zoo went on to claim that if it was someone in a costume, they’d never be able to cope with the heat – which reaches more than 100 degrees fahrenheit in the summer. “If a person did wear a bear costume, they would be lying down within minutes due to the heat,” they said. China also recently recorded its highest temperature ever after country reached a blistering 52.2C in Sanbao, Xinjiang. The spokesperson for the zoo also stated that members of the press were being invited to view the bears for themselves this week. The zoo has denied it is a person in a costume – but we do know for sure that one man in an animal costume has been making headlines earlier this year. A man who spent $22,000 transforming himself into a collie has hit back at online trolls who have called his desire to be a dog a “fetish”. The Japanese man named Toco has had a lifelong dream to become a collie and has dropped several thousand dollars in order to do so. But, since taking his first public “walk” in his newly transformed state, haters online have told him he needs “therapy”. Have your say in our news democracy.
