And over on HBO Max, there is a new “Father of the Bride” remake coming Thursday. It’s directed by Joseph Kosinski who is flying high after the success of “Top Gun: Maverick.” The AP’s review says the film is “a little unsure of what it is or what it’s supposed to be.”

Based on a George Saunders short story, Chris Hemsworth plays an eccentric scientist who runs a state-of-the-art penitentiary and is administering experimental emotion-controlling drugs on the inmates (Miles Teller, Jurnee Smollett among them). The doc focuses on the months leading up to her halftime performance at the Super Bowl in 2020 and promises candid and vulnerable moments, including the morning she found out she did not get an Oscar nomination for “Hustlers.” Then, on Friday, the sci-fi thriller “Spiderhead” debuts. First up is the Jennifer Lopez documentary “Halftime,” which starts streaming Tuesday. Netflix also has some high-profile films coming this week. “Leo Grande” focuses on a character in a different stage of life: Emma Thompson plays a 50-something widow and retired teacher who hires a handsome young sex worker to (played by breakout Daryl McCormack) to break her out of her funk. “Cha Cha” looks at post-grad malaise from the eyes of 22-year-old Andrew (played by writer-director Cooper Raiff), who strikes up a friendship with a single mom (Dakota Johnson) and her daughter (Vanessa Burghardt) while working as a bar-mitzvah party starter. The streamers have an embarrassment of riches to offer film fans this week, starting with a few charming highlights from this year’s Sundance Film Festival: “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande,” debuts on Hulu on June 17, and “Cha Cha Real Smooth,” starts streaming on Apple TV+ Friday as well. Sadly, two of the young actors from The Sound of Music, Charmian Carr and Heather Menzies (who played Liesl and Louisa von Trapp), were not present at the event because they passed away in 20.Here’s a collection curated by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists of what’s arriving on TV, streaming services and music platforms this week.

A video of the moment was shared to Twitter by awards columnist Scott Feinberg, who said, “Julie Andrews is surprised by her kids from THE SOUND OF MUSIC and joins them in a sing-a-long of ‘Do-Re-Mi’ to kick off the AFI Life Achievement Award presentation to her - what a beautiful moment!”

Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich), Duane Chase (Kurt), Angela Cartwright (Brigitta), Debbie Turner (Marta) and Kym Karath (Gretl) all walked onto the stage and performed the iconic song from the film, wherein Andrews's character teaches the von Trapp children how to sing the notes of a major scale. But one of the best moments of the night occurred during a tribute to her role as Maria in The Sound of Music, when five of the stars who played the von Trapp children surprised Andrews with a performance of “Do-Re-Mi.”

The ceremony, which was originally supposed to take place in the spring of 2020, celebrated Andrews’s prolific career and her iconic roles in films such as Mary Poppins, The Princess Diaries, Thoroughly Modern Millieand more. The hills stage was alive with the sound of music on Thursday night, when Julie Andrews was honored with the American Film Institute's (AFI) Life Achievement Award.
