Emirates just melted down 60 million to create Noah’s Ark. And he has given them to those who want to resurrect the mammoth

by

We’ve been really into playing God for a few years now. On the one hand, we have Bryan Johnson, a millionaire who lives to rejuvenate -and to sell you oil-. On the other hand, there is Colossal, a company that is doing more serious and interesting things. How far? Until the of chase resurrect the mammoth. At the moment there are more promises than realities, but they have managed to get the United Arab Emirates to give them a check for 60 million dollars. Aim? Create the modern Noah’s Ark. Colossal. This company dedicated to biotechnology has become popular for its objective not only in bring the mammoth back to lifebut also to the dodoto the moa either to the Tasmanian tiger. It does so from well-preserved DNA samples, to the interest of personalities such as Peter Jackson -director of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and great collector of moa bones– and, evidently, thanks to tremendously generous sums of money. Colossal Biosciences has reached a assessment of more than 10,000 million dollars and, in the latest round, it has been 600 accumulated. Peter Jackson himself collaborated with 25 million for the company to place the moa in its goal list. BioVault. Although there are those who think that What Colossal does is sell the motorcyclethey have achieved some results, like resurrecting the giant wolf. The theory is simple: they take the DNA of the extinct animal, combine it with samples from living relatives and the difficult part comes when they have to filter out the variants to polish the genes and get the animal they want. When they have it ready, they use the belly of a living animal to gestate the extinct creature. UAE does not want them to resurrect anything. At least, that objective has not been made public, but due to Colossal’s activity, they have obtained thousands of DNA samples. And that is what we want to preserve in BioVault. The goal is a capsule in which the DNA of more than 10,000 species is stored, with a special focus at the beginning on the 100 most endangered species today. Which is it? They are in ‘coming soon‘. Museum of the Future. For this, the United Arab Emirates will spend 60 million dollars, and once completed in 2027, this modern Noah’s Ark will be stored in the World Preservation Laboratory, which will be a part of the Museum of the Future from Dubai. Inaugurated in 2022, it is a tremendous building, on par with the pharaonic works built in the Middle East at that time. particular architectural war in which the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are involved. If it is spectacular on the outside, it is even more so on the inside, and precisely its name is due to the fact that it is a museum that does not show antiquity, but rather presents a journey to the future. To 2071, specifically. The museum is outrageous Backup. In the end, this is one of the largest and most important biotech deals. Ben Lamm, co-founder of Colossal, affirms that we are losing species at an alarming rate and the world “urgently needs a network of global BioVaults, a backup plan for life on Earth.” He threw a dart at the financing of other biobanks, ensuring that they are fragmented, underfinanced and do not have a collaborative spirit that allows them to use data in the event of a crisis. In fact, it is estimated that half of the species on Earth will face extinction by 2050, and BioVault will be there to remedy it. The big question is whether it will be worth bringing animals back just because we can when their ecosystems are destroyed.

Madrid’s plan to resurrect a road that has been dead for more than twenty years

by

Madrid has a ghost highway. It is not that it appears and disappears, it is always present. Nor is it that ghosts pass through her. We don’t know that. What is certain is that cars do not happen. If the few neighbors who want to take a walk through a 12 -kilometer asphalt block that does not lead anywhere. Almost 20 years later they want to finish it. Paralyzed. 2005. Alcalá de Henares (Madrid). The works of the MP-203 begin. The goal is to decongest the A-2 highway at its entrance to Madrid. The intention is to offer an alternative route to those who, at the outset, go further south. Start in the A-2 as it passes through Alcalá de Henares, destiny the A-3 as it passes through Vallecas. Two years later, the works were abandoned. Cintra, the concessionary company with the right to exploitation for the next 30 years after disbursement of more than 100 million euros stopped the works. From the Government of the Community of Madrid (PP), they said, first, that the efforts with the Government (then PSOE) had squandered the project. Subsequently, with the PP governing in Spain, the problem seemed to be in the relationship with Adif, on the occasion of a passage under the high speed Madrid-Barcelona. Cintra said the ball was on the roof of the regional government. All chaos can be reviewed in this article The country 2013. The Ghost Highway. By then, the road had been paralyzed for six years, without moving even one more meter from there where Cintra, 70 million euros spent, had left it. The residents of Alcalá de Henares did not know that in 2025 they were still going to have 12.5 kilometers paved from a highway anywhere. Because the beginning and end of the highway is the same: sand. Since the project was launched 20 years ago, the highway remains in the same state. Only the pedestrians who venture to take a walk through an environment of postpocalyptic reminiscences are passed. The MP-203 did not enjoy the global rescue that received the Spanish toll roads mediated the next decade. Now yes? 20 years after the works began. 18 years after his abandonment. The Community of Madrid has included in its Regional Road Plan for the 2025-2032 period the intention of carrying out the MP-203 spoiled project. The information brings it 20 minuteswho point out that the initial plan goes to begin the works in 2026 and have the road ended in 2028. To launch the project again, the Community of Madrid estimates that 58.5 million euros will be necessary. This figure would be added to the 70 million paid to Ferrovial (last responsible for the works) for compensation for not having finished the works at the time after the company made the initial investment. The changes? The most obvious: cars will circulate. Or, at least, they will not do it illegally as those who dispute the victory in the races that are organized there. Nor will the specialists who, this time legally, star in the filming that are consent there. In addition, the road is no longer faced as a toll road. The intention is that the link is completely free. Of course, in order to get to fruition, the final plan must be approved before the end of the year. If we get ahead, the road will end two decades after planning.

Disney has managed to resurrect the live-action thanks to ‘Lilo & Stitch’. The next on the list is much more risky

by

‘Lilo & Stitch’ has been one of the undisputed surprises at the 2025 box office. He not only exceeded the most warm expectations of Disney at his premiere, recovering his budget in just a couple of days. He has also put an end to the curse of remakes in real image of Disney classics, which carried a frankly terrible quality and box office. And now, all right, right? Well… Alien pepinazo. As We comment on the week of its premierethis remake of the 2002 animated classic raised worldwide 341 million dollars. Virtually half of that amount, 157.8 million, was in international markets, becoming the second best premiere of the year, only behind ‘A Minecraft movie‘. It has already folded the amount, with 610 million. In Spain, According to ComscoreIt was even better: 5.7 million euros at its premiere, and has already reached 11.57 million. Here it has been the best premiere of the year, providing a good oxygen ball to the battered state box office. An effective formula. ‘Lilo & Stitch ‘is the last success of a formula that until recently seemed infallible: remake in real image and with CGI effects the company’s animated classics. A apparently undressing idea That, although he has encountered critical voices that have always gone very well at the box office. Thus it was with one of the first of his style, ‘101 Dalmatas’, in 1996, and with the first of the current surge of remakes, the ‘Alice in the Wonderland’ of Tim Burton of 2010 and his sequel. And they still had to get the great successes. Tachillas and refritos. But from there they did nothing more to climb: ‘Cinderella’, ‘The book of the jungle’, ‘Maleficent’ … until they reached the two great bombings: ‘The beautiful and the beast’ in 2017, with 1,263 million collection, and ‘The León King’ in 2019, with 1,662 million. Two successes of criticism and public that settled the formula under which films were continued that, however, came across increasingly frequent criticisms, such as the rather terrible ‘Aladdin‘ and ‘Dumbo‘, both released the same year, 2019. Free fall. However, it was a formula that could not last forever. The public’s fatigue due to the patent lack of originality of Hollywood, and that has affected to franchises as successful as Marvel Or Star Wars also made a dent in this genre. It was seen, for example, in ‘Peter and the dragon’ or ‘mulán’ (also devalued by the moment it premiered, during the pandemic and directly in Disney+to boost the newly released platform). The last disasters have been ‘The Little Mermaid‘, very affected by the wear stormy promotion With its two faced protagonists. To all this are added a series of films that have barely echoed among the public and that in many cases theaters have been skipped, such as ‘Pinocchio’, ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ or ‘The Lady and the Vagabundo’. And a couple of exceptions. However, the formula is not completely exhausted, or that should think of Disney. ‘Mufasa’, despite a lazy start, with a premiere well below expectations, honored the strength of the franchise of ‘El Rey León’ and endured all Christmas, adding 670 satisfactory millions of dollars. Incomparable with the collection of his predecessor, but still, one of the successes of 2024. And the case of ‘Lilo & Stitch’ already knows him. Why are you? The reason why these two have worked in seemingly adverse times for remakes is double: on the one hand, ‘MUFASA’ and ‘Lilo & Stitch’ are less conflictive in their delivery, and they have not had to endure discredit campaigns, Review-pumping and other tactics of harassment and demolition of Toxic fandom. On the other, there are two franchises with good health: ‘The Lion King’ is the most popular and blockbuster remake in the history of Disney; And Stitch is a phenomenon of merchandising Disney Recent: Annual Sales of Products related to the character have gone from 200 million dollars in 2019 to exceed 2.6 billion dollars in the last yearaccording to ‘The Wall Street Journal’. A future with doubts. But the thing does not end here, because there are no guarantees of success in the coming years. Some remakes have been affected by the prick at the ‘Snow White’ box office, such as ‘entangled’, whose production has been arrested. Of many there are almost no data, such as ‘The Humpback of Notre Dame’, ‘Hercules’ or ‘The Aristogatos’. But the authentic doubts are with ‘Vaiana’, scheduled for July 2026, and that involves a certain risk: its animated precedent is unusually close, 2016 and, in fact, a sequel to theaters has just released. Will you accuse this success more or less safe the wear of the formula? When we review the successes of 2024 (Among them, by the way, ‘Vaiana 2’), we talked about a problem that Hollywood cannot continue hiding for longer: all its blockbusters are sequelae, remakes or REBOOTS. It is a formula that supposes bread for today and hunger for tomorrow, and the best test is the remake in real image of ‘Vaiana’. It is as simple as this: Hollywood is running out of films to make remakes: the dead end inside a dead end.
