Rosamund Pike gives a scorching central performance in the world premiere of Inter Alia at the National Theatre, playwright Suzie Miller’s follow-up to Prima Facie, which won Tony and Olivier Award glory for Jodie Comer. Now, there’s a race to lure the Saltburn star into the West End.

Pike gives off heat as Jessica Parks, a fictional crown court judge who becomes embroiled in a potent issue of masculinity and motherhood that threatens both her family and professional life. The first night crowd in the National’s Lyttelton Theatre roared their approval when the actress took her solo bow, having dominated the stage for the duration of the 100-minute play directed by Justin Martin, who also directed Prima Facie in London and on Broadway.

Also involved are the judge’s husband and son, played by Jamie Glover (The Crown) and Jasper Talbot, a recent...

Exclusive: Gone Girl star Rosamund Pike is captured in our exclusive first look at the actress wearing her Crown Court judge robes, red tippet and wig for her role in Suzie Miller’s new play Inter Alia, which is described as a ”searing” exploration of masculinity and motherhood.

Miller, who wrote Prima Facie, the one-woman drama that propelled Jodie Comer to Tony- and Olivier-winning glory, is reunited with director Justin Martin following their collaboration on Prima Facie. She told Deadline that rehearsals “are coming along brilliantly,” and that cast and creatives are “excited” to put it in front of an audience “and igniting a conversation.”

The company will occupy the National Theatre’s Lyttelton stage for a two-month season that runs July 10-September 13. The production will be filmed and released by Nt Live to cinemas beginning September 4.

Carey Mulligan claimed her first Oscar nomination for her lead role in the 2009 coming-of-age saga “An Education.” Then the British actress once again collected bountiful awards nominations (and some wins) for her role as a #MeToo- era femme fatale avenger in the darkly comic thriller “Promising Young Woman.”

Like many of the directors whose names appear on her resume, first-time helmer Emerald Fennell -- the Season 2 showrunner for ”Killing Eve” who also plays Camila Parker Bowles in “The Crown” -- has a distinctive vision that allows the actress to inhabit abundant shades of emotion, from ballsy and badass to pastel-pink and girly.

In 2022, her great work was in "She Said," based on the intense investigation into sexual allegations against Hollywood mega-producer Harvey Weinstein. She followed in 2023 with possibly her greatest performance yet in "Maestro" opposite Bradley Cooper.

Take a photo gallery tour of Mulligan’s 14 best movies, ranked worst to best.

The production on Netflix's adaptation of C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia is heating up for an expected shooting date of July, and now a new cast member has signed on, with The Hollywood Reporter relaying that Carey Mulligan in talks to join the cast in a surprising role.

The three-time Oscar nominee will be taking on the role of Mable Kirke, the mother of Diggory Kirke, the main character in The Magician's Nephew. A prodigious actress, Mulligan has been a regular onscreen, having credits on many British TV productions, including the BBC's adaptation of Bleak House from 2005, and film roles including Pride and Prejudice and An Education, for which she won a BAFTA.

It was speculated a few months ago that Barbie director Greta Gerwig would be filming the seven-book Chronicles of Narnia series in chronological order, starting with The Magician's Nephew, which was the sixth...

Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan is reportedly in talks to join the star-studded cast of Greta Gerwig's Narnia adaptation for Netflix. The project also has Meryl Streep, Daniel Craig, and Emma Mackey reportedly attached. Mulligan is an acclaimed actress who has garnered Oscar nominations for her work in Maestro, Promising Young Woman, and her breakthrough role in An Education. Her other notable credits include performances in films such as Never Let Me Go, Drive, and Inside Llewyn Davis.

Gerwig, whose last directorial effort was the history-making Barbie, is not only set to direct but has also penned the screenplay for the Netflix project. Given Gerwig's impressive attention to detail in crafting Barbie's layered and vibrant world, our expectations for her vision of Narnia are strong. We expect that Gerwig will bring a high level of imaginative depth to C.S. Lewis' magical realm.

Gerwig's Narnia installment will be...

Another acclaimed Hollywood name boards the cast of Netflix's highly anticipated The Chronicles of Narnia film. Three-time Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan is the latest star to board the first of Greta Gerwig's upcoming Narnia adaptations, The Magician's Nephew.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Mulligan joins the star-laden cast of The Magician's Nephew, which also includes Meryl Streep, Daniel Craig and Emma Mackey. Mulligan is best known for her features in Maestro, Promising Young Woman and An Education, each of which landed her Oscar nods. Her most recent big-screen features include the acclaimed black comedy thriller, Saltburn, the Adam Sandler-led sci-fi drama, Spaceman, and the British comedy, The Ballad of Wallis Island.

The Magician's Nephew, the sixth novel in C.S. Lewis' Narnia book series, is a prequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which was adapted as a part of Disney's original Narnia movie trilogy to critical and commercial success.

An update for Greta Gerwig's Narnia movie confirms which book is being adapted as an Oscar-nominated star joins the cast. Netflix's Narnia movie has been in development as early as 2018, with the Barbie director being brought on board in 2020. Now, Greta Gerwig's Narnia movie is currently deep into the casting stage, with its star-studded ensemble already including Daniel Craig, Emma Mackey as Jadis the White Witch, and Meryl Streep as the voice of the talking lion Aslan.

Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Carey Mulligan has been cast in Gerwig's Narnia movie as Digory's mother. This confirms that the movie is adapting the sixth novel in the Narnia series, The Magician's Nephew. Mulligan is currently in negotiations for the role, so it doesn't appear to be a done deal quite yet.

Carey Mulligan is in talks to star in Greta Gerwig’s “Chronicles of Narnia” adaptation at Netflix.

If the deal closes, Mulligan will join the previously announced cast of Daniel Craig, Meryl Streep and Emma Mackey. Otherwise, the project is still in the midst of the casting process according to The Hollywood Reporter, which broke the news of Mulligan’s hiring.

In her much-anticipated “Barbie” follow-up, Gerwig is writing and directing the fantasy adventure, which reportedly follows “The Magician’s Nephew” — the sixth novel in the series by author C.S. Lewis. The story serves as a prequel to “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and centers on the creation of Narnia by Aslan the lion (voiced by Streep). Two children, Digory and Polly, are the first to discover the “Wood between the Worlds” after an uncle (Craig) gives the two friends a magical ring. Mackey is playing the Jadis,...

Rosamund Pike, the Academy Award nominee who has starred in films like Gone Girl, Saltburn and TV shows like State of the Union, recalls a very uncomfortable situation she had to go through when auditioning for a part in the James Bond movieDie Another Day. During the audition, Pike was asked to strip, but stood her ground and refused to do it unless they guaranteed that the part was hers. Ultimately, she was cast as a Bond girl, but she strongly recalls the distressing audition for what became her Hollywood breakthrough.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar UK about her career, Pike described her experience when landing a role in the action franchise about the international spy. "I'd never been to America until I went with Bond. Doing the press tour was mind-blowing, a magic-carpet ride," the actor said. However, she also offers some details about the James Bond audition, a shocking...

“Bridgerton” breakout Simon Ashley, Apple TV+’s “Surface” lead star Gugu Mbatha-Raw and the USC’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative founder Dr. Stacy L. Smith are set to lead the lineup at the upcoming Women in Film Conference, to be held at Oxford University.

The day-long event at the university’s Sheldonian Theater will, according to organizers, celebrate change and urge further progress.

Ashley, recently seen in Amazon Prime’s “Picture This,” will be interviewed on stage by Smith, whose Annenberg Inclusion Initiative is co-sponsoring the event alongside Oxford University’s Cultural Programme and the Ghetto Film School.

“Simone is a multi-hyphenate who is clearly the future of the entertainment industry,” said Smith. “As we celebrate women’s work across entertainment, Simone’s voice represents the newest and next generation of leaders.

US industry figures have reacted to Thursday’s news that Sundance Film Festival will relocate to Boulder, Colorado, in 2027.

The location change comes after a year-long search and means that after next January’s final edition in Park City, it will be goodbye to the Utah ski resort. For four decades Sundance in Park City has championed thousands of filmmakers and major breakouts like Steven Soderbergh, Quentin Tarantino, Dee Rees, Sian Heder, and Christopher Nolan.

Sony Picture Classics co-president Tom Bernard has been a mainstay at Park City down the years and the company’s many Sundance titles include An Education,...

British actress Carey Mulligan is known for her timeless style and elegant presence, both on-screen and on the red carpet. She is 5 feet 6 inches (167.6 cm) and stands slightly taller than the average British woman (typically 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches or 160–163 cm). Her height, paired with her sophisticated fashion choices, enhances her commanding presence in Hollywood.

In an interview with Star Magazine, Mulligan suggested she might be even taller, saying:

I’m 5ft 7ins and weigh 8st 5lbs… After I had my appendix out, during the London run of The Seagull, I went down to eight stone [114 pounds] and realized my brain doesn’t work when I’m that thin.

On the red carpet, heel height can shift perceptions of celebrity stature. Standing 6 feet ½ inches (184.2 cm), Bradley Cooper often towers over Mulligan, but with the right stilettos or platform heels, she can effortlessly narrow the visual gap.

If you’ve ever dreamed of trapping your favorite broken up band of ex-musicians and lovers on an island, have we got the trailer for you! Today, Focus Features has dropped the latest look at their upcoming film, The Ballad of Wallis Island, the newest title from director James Griffiths. Starring Tim Key (See How They Run), Tom Basden (Venice at Dawn) and Carey Mulligan (An Education), the movie follows one man’s dream of reuniting his favorite folky duo — something he achieves after striking gold with a big lottery win.

Actor Peter Sarsgaard has built an impressive career, becoming one of the most respected and versatile actors of his generation. Known for his unique cadence, charming smile, and quiet charisma, Sarsgaard has proven several times over that he excels in complex characters, such as his roles in Boys Don't Cry,An Education, and his most recent critically acclaimed performance in the Oscar-nominated September 5. Sarsgaard often gets recognition for his film work, and rightfully so, considering his amazing performances. Yet he has also shined in limited series like Looming Towerand Dopesick(both of which can be found on Hulu). Though he has given an impressive performance in many series, his first series-regular TV role remains one of his most powerful performances to date. In 2013, Sarsgaard portrayed a man on death row in the grittyAMC true-crime seriesThe Killing, showcasing the full range of emotion from start to finish.

We have ourselves a race! The Oscar contests for Best Actor and Best Actress got especially interesting at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday because the winners disagreed with another industry peer group honor, the BAFTA Awards. But who tends to win the Oscar under those circumstances, the SAG winner, the BAFTA winner, or someone else entirely?

While fans of Netflix's flashy spy series The Recruitwould love to see star Noah Centineo play the next James Bond, English actor James Norton is the current frontrunner. As of mid-February 2025, Oddschecker has Norton and Aaron Taylor-Johnson tied with the shortest betting odds to play 007 in Bond 26, with each given a 5/2 chance of winning the role. However, once Bond producers and casting agents see Norton in the underrated spy drama Rogue Agent, Norton's odds could increase considerably.

Released in 2022, Rogue Agent stars Norton as a conniving criminal who tricks the world into believing he is a top-ranking MI5 agent. Although he is not, Norton's performative ability to convince those around him that he's a skilled spy only bolsters his chances of proving his James Bond bona fides. Meanwhile, those drawn to The Recruit's stylish implausibility will enjoy Rogue Agent's extreme twists and turns.

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired “East of Wall,” a critically acclaimed look at a marginalized, neglected corner of the American West that marks the feature debut of writer and director Kate Beecroft. The film was inspired by real people, with Beecroft convincing Tabatha and Porshia Zimiga, ranchers from the Badlands, to play versions of themselves. “East of Wall” won the Audience Award at Sundance in the Next category.

Variety‘s Peter Debruge praised the film as an “artful debut” and compared it to Chloé Zhao’s “The Rider,” which Sony Pictures Classics also distributed. Other critics agreed with The Austin Chronicle writing, “As a first-time feature filmmaker, Beecroft’s storytelling technique could stand greater development, but her sense of place and mood is spot-on. Her film will definitely make you want to scrape the mud off your boots before you leave the theatre.”

Tabatha Zimiga stars as a horse trainer who,...

“Honeytrap” will be like a skewed, tilted version of the more romantic films I’ve done before,” said the multi-awarded Danish writer-director Lone Scherfig to a packed audience of industry delegates Jan. 30, at the opening session of Göteborg’s Nordic Film Market Discovery program.

In an express on-stage interview, the triple Oscar-nominated helmer of “An Education,” said “Honeytrap” will be her first ever Swedish project, based on a script by Pelle Rådström, credited for Netflix’s “Black Crab” and the Swedish show “Pressure Point” which just picked up the Nordic Series Script Award in Göteborg.

“I felt the script (handed out to me by producer Rebecka Hamberger) had everything I love: a thriller element, love and humor. It’s set in the 60s, an era from my early childhood, that I’ve also portrayed in several works including in “An Education.” It’s super good and I’m very confident with it,...

The nominations for the 2010 Academy Awards, recognizing the films that were released in 2009, were announced on February 2 at 5:38 a.m. I remember because I got up early to watch them. That year saw Sandra Bullock nominated for Best Actress (for "The Blind Side") alongside Helen Mirren ("The Last Station"), Gabourey Sidibe ("Precious"), Carey Mulligan ("An Education"), and Meryl Streep ("Julie & Julia"). 

The night before the Oscar announcements, however, the notorious Golden Raspberry awards, a.k.a. the Razzies, announced their nominees for the worst films of 2009. The Razzies are, of course, a hotly contested tradition, and it has many critics who point out the mean-spiritedness of the awards as well as its tendency to pick on pop movies and already hated performers. The nominees for Worst Actress that year were Sandra Bullock ("All About Steve"), Beyoncé ("Obsessed"), Miley Cyrus ("The Hannah Montana Movie"), Sarah Jessica Parker ("Did You Hear About the Morgans?...

Peter Sarsgaard, the guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast — which was recorded in front of an audience at the Newport Beach Film Festival, where Sarsgaard was honored with the Film Performance of the Year Award — is a remarkable character actor who is enjoying the biggest year of his career. He shines in both the new Paramount film September 5, playing Roone Arledge as ABC Sports covers 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack, and on the new Apple TV+ drama series Presumed Innocent, as a prosecutor tasked with convicting a former colleague of a murder.

The 53-year-old, who has a distinctive voice and sleepy-eyed gaze, has been acting professionally on the stage and screens big and small for 30 years. Early in his career, it was fashionable to describe him with sort of backhanded compliments — for instance, the New York Times noted in 2004 that he has a “tendency to...

“Monster” Season 3 has added Laurie Metcalf, Tom Hollander, and Olivia Williams to its cast, Variety has learned exclusively.

The trio join previously announced cast member Charlie Hunnam, who will star as Ed Gein in the next season of the Netflix anthology series. According to sources, Metcalf will play Gein’s mother, Augusta, while Hollander will play Alfred Hitchcock and Williams will play Alma Reville, Hitchcock’s wife.

Given that Gein served as one of the inspirations for Norman Bates and Hitchcock’s film “Psycho,” it would appear Season 3 of the hit Netflix anthology will delve into how Gein’s crimes influenced the film and the novel upon which the film was based.

Gein became infamous in the 1950s when authorities discovered that he not only had killed multiple people, but had dug up graves from a cemetery near his home and fashioned all manner of household items and clothing from human remains.

From a shady district attorney in “The Batman” to a real-life rapist in “Boys Don’t Cry” and a harrowing disembodied voice in “The Guilty,” Peter Sarsgaard is often known for characters teetering on the edge of morality. But the actor is quick to shrug off any black-and-white labels of good versus evil.

Sarsgaard, who recently appeared in the Apple TV+ series “Presumed Innocent” and now leads the indie “Coup!,” told IndieWire that he’s wary of the villain label despite audiences wanting to classify characters a certain way.

“It’s funny because for me, obviously with ‘Presumed Innocent’ now, to me I’m not a villain in that. I’m just a guy who lives by himself. I’m playing a decent person in that,” Sarsgaard said. “I’m playing a decent person in ‘Memory,’ the movie that I won the Golden Cup [the Best Actor award at the 2023 Venice Film Festival] for. I’m playing a decent person in ‘Dopesick.

The first movie — one of the most ingenious films of this century — took audiences inside the head of young Riley as she navigated a move to a new city while her emotions tried to guide her through the move in her head. This second film brings back those emotions as Riley goes through her teenage years. But Joy and Sadness and the gang have to deal with several new emotions in headquarters, including Anxiety, Embarrassment, and Ennui.

Olivia Williams has given acclaimed performances in “Rushmore,” “The Sixth Sense” and “An Education.” She recently appeared as Camilla Parker Bowles in the final two seasons of Netflix’s popular drama series “The Crown.” But for many people, the British actor will always be Felicity from the Season 4 finale of “Friends.” Williams once called guest starring on the NBC sitcom “harrowing,” and she recently opened up to The Independent about the reasons why it wasn’t the best experience in a recent interview.

Well, just as an example, I was taken to the studio in a shared car with a wonderful actress whose character, I think, was called ‘Old Woman’,” Williams said, noting this actor was “distinguished” and “very good” but “at one point, a producer – who shall remain nameless – just yelled at her: ‘You’re not funny!’ And she didn’t come back the next day. So that was alarming.

Adam Sandler is known for his comedic prowess, but his latest role takes him in a whole new direction. The actor teams up with Carey Mulligan in the sci-fi drama Spaceman, which premiered on Netflix on March 1st.

The film follows an astronaut (Sandler), who grapples with isolation and the state of his marriage during a solo mission on the edge of the solar system.

Mulligan portrays his wife back on Earth, and their complex relationship takes center stage throughout the film. In a recent interview, Sandler couldn’t hold back his praise for his co-star. Seems like the two had a great working relationship, and the Hollywood actor genuinely appreciates her talent.

Adam Sandler's latest Netflix movie, Spaceman, received poor reviews, but his career in comedy remains untouched by criticism. Many of Sandler's best films are considered "Rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes, but he still maintains a loyal fan base. Carey Mulligan, known for critically acclaimed performances, faces her lowest-rated film since The Great Gatsby with Spaceman, which still attracts attention.

Adam Sandler's recent Netflix movie, Spaceman, has received poor critical reception, ending the impressive success streak of one of its stars. Adam Sandler is no stranger to subpar critical reception, though it's hardly harmed his masterful career in comedy movies. Even a fair few of his lowest-scoring films are considered to be in the "so bad they're good" territory. He has such a beloved film presence that he really can't lose. That said, it's doubtful that the negative reviews for Spaceman will obstruct its viewing numbers on Netflix, as many of...

By delivering performances that averaged out to 98 minutes in length, the five women who competed for the 2023 Best Actress Oscar achieved the category’s all-time highest screen time mean, shattering a record that had stood for over half a century. They will continue to hold that distinction until at least 2025, as the present lineup’s average falls below those of the last two groups. What’s more, this is the first year since 2020 that the lead actress contenders have less collective screen time than their male counterparts.

The 2024 Best Actress nominees have an average screen time of one hour, 14 minutes, and 33 seconds, or 52.18% of their respective films. Exactly 23 minutes and 24 seconds and 16.70 percentage points separate them from last year’s record-breaking group. In terms of actual time, their average is the 12th highest in the category’s 96-year history, while their percentage mean is the 32nd lowest.

Carey Mulligan has more than lived up to her promise. The English actor was an obvious, stand-out talent early in her career, whether she was playing one of the Bennett sisters in Joe Wright’s “Pride & Prejudice” adaptation or in an acclaimed one-episode appearance in BBC’s “Doctor Who.” When 2009 saw her receive a Best Actress nomination for her role in the acclaimed drama “An Education,” it seemed to mark the emergence of a great new young actor.

And since that breakthrough, Mulligan has only continued to go from strength to strength. An actor’s actor with the ability to fully embody the complicated women she’s often cast as, Mulligan consistently picks interesting, juicy parts, in films as varied as “Never Let Me Go,” “Drive,” “Shame,” “Far from the Madding Crowd,” and “Mudbound.” As she’s gotten a little older and aged out of the young ingenue parts...

For the fourth consecutive year, we’ve got a firecracker of a Best Actress Oscar race. Lily Gladstone took home the Screen Actors Guild Award on Saturday for “Killers of the Flower Moon” over Emma Stone, who had been on a roll since the two won their respective Golden Globes, having pocketed the Critics Choice and BAFTA Awards for “Poor Things.” Now they each have an industry prize and Best Actress feels like a coin-flip. Gladstone has closed the gap on Stone in the Oscar odds since Saturday. Don’t be surprised if she overtakes the top spot soon. But when the SAG Awards and BAFTAs don’t align in Best Actress, which one has the edge at the Oscars?

Since BAFTA became an Oscar precursor 23 years ago, the Brits and the actors guilds have disagreed 13 times in the category prior to the Battle of the Stones. But not all splits are created equally.

Rosamund Pike is one of the finest actresses in the industry. She started her film career in 2002 with the James Bond movie Die Another Day. In the film, she played the role of Miranda Frost (a Bond girl) alongside Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.

This role was important for Pike, helping her make a mark in the industry. It set the stage for many of her memorable performances to come. On top of this role, the actress is famous for her roles in Jack Reacher (2012), Gone Girl (2014), Hostiles (2017), and the TV series State of the Union.

Her lead role in Gone Girl got her nominated for BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Academy Award for Best Actress. Even though the 45-year-old has shown she can play a variety of characters in different movies, fans keep pigeonholing her into specific roles.

Fifteen years ago, Carey Mulligan made her first visit to the Berlin Film Festival to support her star-making turn in the dramedy An Education. Lone Scherfig’s film centers on Jenny (Mulligan), a teen in 1960s suburban London who falls for a smooth-talking older man played by Peter Sarsgaard.

Scherfig (Italian for Beginners) shared an agent with writer Nick Hornby, who penned the script based on journalist Lynn Barber’s autobiographical essay.

The movie boasted supporting roles for Emma Thompson, Alfred Molina and Rosamund Pike but had a bumpy path and lost financing prior to production. Mulligan told The Hollywood Reporter at the time that 18 months passed between her initial audition and the project getting the greenlight, leading her to take a job at a pub in the interim.

When An Education premiered at Sundance in January 2009, THR praised it as a “smart, moving but not inaccessible entry in the coming-of-age canon.

Congratulations on winning best actor at Venice. Is awards season a fun part of your job?

No [laughs]. It’s a necessary part of my job in the way that there are parts of everyone’s job. It’s especially good for bringing attention to a small movie like this one. But I’ve...
