Daniel Day-Lewis already has five Oscar nominations for Best Actor under his belt, and he seems destined to land a sixth for his work in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Phantom Thread.” The actor stars as Reynolds Woodcock, a renowned London fashion designer in the 1950s, and the role has become highly publicized since it marks Day-Lewis’ final performance before retiring from the screen. Fortunately, it appears Day-Lewis is going out on a glorious high note.

In his A review of the drama, IndieWire’s Eric Kohn raves, “Anderson has crafted a memorable finale for his ‘There Will Be Blood’ collaborator in British dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock,” noting just how successfully Day-Lewis “rises to the challenge” of digging into his character’s “emotional immaturity.” Kohn is hardly alone in his praise for Day-Lewis.

Damian Lewis doesn't accept there is a class issue within the acting industry in England.

There has been much criticism in the past 12 months that too many stars of the stage and screen are white, middle-class and privately educated, however, 'Homeland' star Lewis - who was a student at English all-boys boarding school Eton College, whose previous students include Prince William and Prince Harry - insists that's not the case.

In fact, Lewis insists that his background makes him as much of a "minority" as anyone else in the business.

In an interview with The Guardian newspaper, he said: "A handful of actors from privileged backgrounds have done very well and of course that's high-profile news. But wherever I work, as an actor educated at Eton, I'm still always in a minority. What is true and always rewarding about the acting profession is that everyone has a similar...

A Jim Jarmusch movie is unmistakable. He’s a storyteller who favors richness of detail over plot, whether it’s reunited vampires (“Only Lovers Left Alive”), escaped prisoners (“Down By Law”), or a cousin visiting from Budapest (“Stranger Than Paradise”). Small in scale, generous in production value, and tempered with idiosyncratic rhythms and dry humor, his films represent one the most original and uncompromised bodies of work in American cinema.

However, while Jarmusch might seem to be an auteur-theory poster child, the filmmaker told IndieWire’s David Ehrlich in 2014 (then writing for The Guardian) that he doesn’t believe, for him, the concept of director-as-author applies:

“I put ‘A film by’ as a protection of my rights, but I don’t really believe it. It’s important for me to have a final cut, and I do for every film. So I’m in the editing room every day, I...

“3D filmed experiences for theme parks” and “hi-tech visitor attractions” are being developed by the BBC...

The Guardian reports that the BBC is competing in “a multibillion-pound race to build hi-tech visitor attractions around the globe” including “3D filmed experiences for new theme parks” which are already being developed.

Purportedly, a “new BBC entertainment venture in Asia is to be unveiled later this month” and the Beeb is also developing attractions for a proposed theme park in Britain by the name of Paramount London (which is being touted for a Thames-adjacent plot near Ebbsfleet, Kent).

Stephen Davies of BBC Worldwide said this:

“We’re always interested in working with partners who can help us extend fans’ enjoyment of the BBC brands they love. Abroad, we’re looking for fixed-attraction opportunities in Asia and we operate and license a number of UK attractions, including CBeebies Land and the Doctor Who Experience,...
