Here's the Scoop...

Daisy Ridley is teasing her "epic" fight scene in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

The 27-year-old actress, who plays Rey in the Star Wars movies, shared details about the film in the holiday issue of Marie Claire.

Disney released a final trailer for The Rise of Skywalker in October that teased a battle between Rey (Ridley) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). The scene shows the pair facing off on a ship during a storm.

Ridley said the scene took six days to shoot and involved herself and Driver being blasted with water cannons. One respite was the fact that the lightsaber props weighed less than previous films.

"If they had been heavier, I don't think we would have been able to do it," she said. "It's just really epic."

Ridley previously played Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) and Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), and said The Rise of Skywalker was her favorite to film.

"It's a big film for everyone. I did all of the emotions: I did frowns, I did smiles, it was the sort of biggest breadth, and I think that's also why I had such a good time, because I got to do so much [expletive] -- like, physically, emotionally -- and I got to work with so many people," she said.

The Rise of Skywalker will mark the third and final film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Ridley previously said on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon that she couldn't stop crying on her last day on set.

"I was an embarrassment. I couldn't remember a thing," the star said.

"Everybody had to do like a wrap speech and John [Boyega] wrapped just before me, and I was like, 'Oh, oh no,'" she added.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker opens in theaters Dec. 20. The film co-stars Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran, Domhnall Gleeson, Mark Hamill and the late Carrie Fisher.

'Sonic the Hedgehog' has a new look in latest trailer

Sonic has a new look in the latest trailer for Paramount and Sega's upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie releasing on Feb. 14.

Sonic was re-designed to more closely resemble his look from Sega's popular video game series of the same name. An initial trailer was released in April, causing backlash from fans online who were unhappy with how Sonic had different shaped eyes and muscular legs.

The criticisms led to director Jeff Fowler announcing in May that the film would be delayed so that the production team could work on Sonic's appearance. The film was originally set to hit theaters on Nov. 8.

The new trailer features Sonic, voiced by Ben Schwartz, grabbing the attention of the U.S. government and the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) due to his incredible speed.

Sonic befriends a new human friend Tom (James Marsden) who helps him escape from Robotnik. The pair set off on a journey to stop Robotnik as Sonic becomes a hero for earth.

Footage of Sonic racing through classic areas from the video series is also featured.

A new poster for the film was also released featuring Sonic running from a number of machines with Robotnik in the background.

Which member of the famous foursome has pitches ideas for 'Sex and the City 3'?

Kristin Davis is sharing her ideas for Sex and the City 3.

The 54-year-old actress suggested two of her "fantasy" ideas for a third film during Monday's episode of Watch What Happens Live.

Davis played Charlotte York on Sex and the City, which had a six season run on HBO from 1998 to 2004, and in two Sex and the City movies. The franchise co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes and Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones.

Davis pitched one idea for Sex and the City 3 that would center on Charlotte, Carrie (Parker) and Charlotte's daughter Lily, who was adopted from China.

"I'm a hopeful person, obviously, and I have a whole, very rich imagination. I have all different fantasies," Davis said.

"I have a fantasy where Sarah and I -- I have a whole short movie planned. I told [executive producer] Michael Patrick [King]," she shared. "We go to China because my daughter wants to go on an inheritance trip, where you go to see your homeland. And when we're in China, Carrie and Charlotte have a whole adventure. So that could be like a standalone thing."

Davis also suggested an original musical featuring Charlotte, Carrie (Parker), Miranda (Nixon) and Samantha (Cattrall).

"We could be in a musical!" she said. "We'd all be in that."

Davis also dished during a speed round of questions about Sex and the City, where she said she wanted Carrie (Parker) to end up with Mr. Big (Chris Noth), versus Aidan (John Corbett).

"I love John Corbett so, so much, but I do think she was meant for Big," she said.

Parker surprised Davis by calling in during the speed round. The pair recounted how they used to get sandwiches every day on the set of the first Sex and the City movie in Morocco.

The most recent Sex and the City movie, Sex and the City 2, opened in theaters in 2010. Parker and Cattrall clashed in 2018 after Cattrall said she turned down a third film and was "never" friends with her co-stars.
