This stunner combines the best in speed, style and performance. Otam has made several Millennium models, but their 2017 edition (build started in 2015) is the result of years of research and development. Made in America and with a fiberglass hull, you’d be proud to march along the ocean at its 40-knot cruising speed.

Martha Ann – $79 million

There is nothing understated about this behemoth. Built by German shipyard Lurssen, it’s marketed as a “lifestyle investment” more than a boat. You could essentially go off the grid with a gym, swim-up bar and a ridiculously lavish stateroom to retire to after a day on the water. Martha Ann has more exclusive trim work than you’d care to know and comes with a selection of high-end water toys like jet skis and scuba gear.

Aston Martin AM 37 – $1 million+

The storied British automaker is entering the maritime game with this undeniably beautiful speedboat. Built in conjunction with Quintessence Yachts, The boat is a tribute to the design of many of their cars including the Vulcan and new DB11. It has the flexibility to transform into an overnight vessel too as the cabin table flips into a bed. Every finish is made with the finest materials and the handsome woods and leathers are exactly what you’d expect from the brand.

Denis Villeneuve says he ‘absolutely believes’ in ‘Dune: Messiah’ as he develops the script
The exact timing for the potential trilogy capper remains under wraps.
Timothee Chalamet in Dune Part 2

Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Dune has been more successful than many who have loved the Frank Herbert novel for decades could have dreamed. Dune: Part 1 was nominated for a bunch of Oscars and won a couple, and Part 2 seems to be on a similar trajectory, and also far outgrossed the first installment.

Villeneuve has promised that he will return to the world of Dune one more time to adapt Herbert's sequel, Dune: Messiah, but we don't know exactly when that movie might be coming. In a recent interview with Deadline to discuss Part 2, Villeneuve was hesitant to say too much about the upcoming third installment.

duster season 1 lost  star josh holloway at the 64th annual golden globe

Max has become the home to some of the most fascinating and innovative shows on TV. Fans can trust that the HBO-affiliated streamer has tons of originals and plenty of old favorites from trusted creators, and that trend will continue with their newest offering titled Duster. This thriller comes from the mind of the esteemed J.J. Abrams and stars his fellow Lost alum, Josh Holloway, as a getaway driver who must use his skills for the good of the government when the first Black female FBI agent in American history asks him for her help (the agent will be played by Rachel Hilson). The show is a period piece taking place in the 1970s. It hasn't been revealed how any of the main events of the decade will be incorporated into the plot of the series.

Like a lot of shows that have been teased for the coming months, Duster doesn't have a lot of concrete details out in the open yet. The project has been ongoing for quite some time and was delayed during the Hollywood writers and actors strikes, but a recent teaser trailer has hinted that Duster should finally arrive at an unspecified point in 2025. Here is everything we know so far about Duster.
Who is starring in Duster on Max?

There may be an Oscar in Timothee Chalamet's future, at least if the first reactions to A Complete Unknown are to be believed. Chalamet plays a young Bob Dylan in the film, which is set to hit theaters on Christmas Day. First reactions to the movie suggest that while the movie is strong, Chalamet's performance is utterly transformative. Here's what they say:

Gregory Ellwood of The Playlist said that while he's "not a fan of folk music and A Complete Unknown is superb and shockingly moving. Timothee is fantastic. Monica Barbaro is incredible. We need a Joan Baez spin off movie.”
