Directed by Cristina Costantini and produced by This Machine, Interscope Films and Bichota Films, the documentary offers an intimate look at Karol G’s rise to global stardom, along with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her record-breaking Mañana Será Bonito World Tour and the challenges she faced along the way. Known for her sincerity and unbreakable connection with her fans, Karol G aims to show her most human side in this project. The tearjerking film brings together key moments from her life and career while highlighting her deep bond with her family, who have always provided her unwavering support.
Over two years of production, Tomorrow Was Beautiful captures moments such as a terrifying flight during which Karol G thought she was going to die, and painful memories including an experience when she was nearly abused by someone in the industry at age 16. The documentary also highlights her heartfelt tribute to Selena in Texas, with a cameo by Suzette Quintanilla, as well as her recognition as Billboard Women in Music’s Woman of the Year in 2024.

“This is a very special piece for my fans. It’s an opportunity to show people who Carolina is, beyond just Karol G,” the singer told Billboard Español on the red carpet ahead of the documentary’s premiere on Tuesday (May 6) in New York City.
“Watching the documentary gave me the chance to reflect on the incredible journey I’ve had as a person— in the way I think, and even changes physically,” La Bichota shared. “I feel like it all started when I had blue hair, and then came the whole process with red hair, blonde hair and finally pink hair. I can see how my mindset evolved, how my sense of responsibility and commitment to my fans grew, and even how I view myself physically. I also feel that the beautiful kind of self-love you start to develop begins to blossom and becomes more noticeable.”
To capture this more intimate side of Karol G, Costantini took a vulnerable and up-close approach, aiming to showcase both the singer’s triumphs and challenges. “Most of her fans know a lot about her public image, but not so much about the personal side. Our goal was to document the intimate moments, above all,” explained the director to Billboard Español.

“In our first meeting, she told me she wanted to show the real side of touring. [She said,] ‘I don’t want to just show the glamour, what social media portrays. I want to show the realness,’” Costantini shared. “That really surprised me as a filmmaker. It’s a dream for us as documentary filmmakers.”
At the screening, Karol G was surrounded by her closest circle, including her family and members of her team — dancers, musicians and songwriters who have supported her throughout her career. Key guests included Edgar Barrera, Keityn, DFZM, Elena Rose, Myriam Hernández and Feid.

Dan Aykroyd, who created the Blues Brothers alongside the late John Belushi, has editorial oversight and will provide a foreword.
“Elwood and Jake are precious to me. In fact, one of them is actually my dad,” said Stella Aykroyd, as told to Deadline. “I’ve helped him sharpie ‘ELWOOD’ onto his knuckles before Blues Brothers shows with ‘Brother Zee,’ I’ve walked behind him as he’s made his way through a sea of fans dressed as Elwood and Jake all over the world and I’ve been his co-pilot on the road, where he’s explained to me the proper way to T-bone a car.”

The novel will also honor Judy Belushi-Pisano, who passed away in July 2024. She was instrumental in preserving and expanding the Blues Brothers legacy for more than 40 years. Luke Pisano and the creative team said the project draws on real-life experiences and stories from Judy, John and Dan.
Josh Bernstein, president of Z2, called the Blues Brothers “comedy, pop culture and musical royalty,” adding that fans can expect “the epic return of Jake and Elwood Blues.”
The Blues Brothers: The Escape of Joliet Jake will be available for pre-order through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and independent bookstores, comic shops and record stores.

According to Variety, Sawayama will once again play Akira in the Wick spin-off Caine, where she will appear opposite that film’s director/star/executive producer Donnie Yen. The legendary Hong Kong action star/producer played the blind High Table assassin Caine in the fourth installment in the blood-spattered action thriller series; Caine is slated to go into production later this year.
Yen had high praise for his co-star, telling Variety, “Most delighted to welcome Rina back into this new exciting journey with us. It will be my pleasure and attempt to elevate her amazing character that left us mesmerized from John Wick: Chapter 4!”

Co-producer Chad Stahelski added, “Rina is such a badass. I love what she did with this role in Chapter 4 and can’t wait to see her cross paths with Caine once again.”
At press time there was no additional information on the plot, but according the magazine it is being billed as a “Hong Kong-style action thriller” similar to the Ip Man series that made Yen a star. Caine will reportedly continue the story arc in the wake of the fourth chapter of the series starring Keanu Reeves as a retired hitman lured back into the murder game after the killing of his beloved dog, with Caine now freed from his obligations to the mysterious High Table.
“John Wick: Chapter 4 introduced us to so many compelling, original characters, including Akira,” said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson. “We’re beyond thrilled to have Rina coming back to the franchise — Caine and Akira have unfinished business, and this next chapter in their stories will be explosive.”
The critically acclaimed Wick series is rapidly expanding its cinematic universe, with an upcoming spinoff starring Ana de Armas, Ballerina (June 6), as well as a recently announced animated Wick movie and a fifth chapter of the original film series.
Sawayama fans are still waiting for word on the follow-up to the multi-hyphenate’s 2022 sophomore album, Hold the Girl. The singer most recently appeared alongside Paris Hilton on the influencer and sometime singer’s 2024 comeback single, “I’m Free.”
