The Pam & Tommy actress spoke about what it was like to embody the Baywatch star in a new interview with Net-a-Porter, published on Monday, Jan. 10, saying that the experience was "really thrilling." "I've never done anything where I look very different from myself before," Lily shared. "And I'd really like to continue in this vein, because I felt there was something very freeing and liberating in it. There was a bravery that came from that."

“Crazy Rich Asians” screenwriter Adele Lim and Japanese director Hikari have come abroad the romantic dramedy “Lost for Words” for Working Title.

“Lost for Words” is based on an original idea from Oscar-winning screenwriter Richard Curtis, who wrote the previous draft and will be staying on the project as a producer. The project centers on a world-famous actor who becomes romantically entangled with his translator, and the translator’s boss who is also an actress.

Lim teamed with Peter Chiarelli on the script for 2018’s “Crazy Rich Asians,” which grossed $338 million worldwide. She exited the planned sequels due to a dispute over pay disparity. Lim co-wrote the script with Qui Nguyen for Disney Animation’s “Raya and the Last Dragon,” slated for a March, 2021 release. The film features the voices of Kelly Marie Tran as the titular Raya and Awkwafina as Sisu, the last dragon.

Hikari is a producer-writer-director known...

Fortunately, there's far more to his slickly directed film than mere virtual tourism; pitched somewhere between art film and melodrama, it recalls Peter Chan's classic Comrades, Almost a Love Story in its depiction of frustrated romance. In summary, the plot could sound like a bad rom-com: White American ex-Marine Michael (Sean Faris) takes a job in It in Hong Kong, and, jogging one day, literally runs into Chinese ballerina Anna (Grace Huang).
