Adding a movie model to the admin panel

We are now ready to create movies from the admin panel and store the images in our Django project. We will add the Movie model to the admin panel, and we will create movies.

Adding the Movie model to the admin panel

To add the Movie model to the admin panel, go back to /movies/admin.py and register our model by adding the following in bold:
