But the thing I remember most is that I decided to go in for my audition with, like, a very broad Long Island accent. Not requested!" Host Jimmy Fallon asked her," What was her role?" which was simply a "kooky hairdresser that it hired by the brother's nemesis." The actress—who appeared on the Disney Channel show in...

The play is set in the “Mormon Country” of Idaho and is about a 600-pound gay man who can’t leave his apartment and is estranged from his teenage daughter.

Darren Aronofsky is teaming up with A24 for his next movie The Whale, an adaptation of the Samuel D. Hunter play of the same name, with Brendan Fraser attached to star.

Wondering what filmmaker Darren Aronofsky is up to? We’ve been thinking the same. Well, he’s got a new project called “The Whale,” being set up at A24 and starring Brendan Fraser. “The Whale” is based on the critically- acclaimed 2012 play of the same name by Samuel D. Hunter and tells the story of a 600lbs recluse and father trying to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter, who is something of a wild and sharped-tongue hellion.

Darren Aronofsky will direct Brendan Fraser in “The Whale,” an adaptation of Samuel D. Hunter’s play about a morbidly obese recluse.

A24 has global rights to the film. “The Whale” was critically acclaimed when it debuted Off-Broadway in 2012, winning both the Drama Desk Award and the Lucille Lortel Award for outstanding play.

It’s the story of a 600-pound middle-aged man named Charlie and his attempts to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter. The two became estranged after Charlie abandoned his family for his gay lover, who later died. Charlie then turned to compulsive eating out of grief.

Aronofsky’s Protozoa Pictures will also produce the film. The director scored raves and a strong following with the likes of “Requiem for a Dream” and “Black Swan.” However, his most recent effort, “Mother!,” was divisive and a commercial bomb when it premiered in 2017, grossing $44.5 million on a $30 million budget and suffering...

Three-plus years since mother!, by your count either his greatest achievement or proof it’s time to find a new career, Darren Aronofsky’s supposedly landed new feature: Discussing Film report he’ll adapt Samuel D. Hunter’s play The Whale for A24. American Empirical Pictures, whose name appears before every Wes Anderson feature, are producing.

In a description that sounds wholly sympatico with his oeuvre of obsession, addiction, self-destruction, whatever else Wikipedia cites in their opening paragraph, Hunter’s play is descibed like so (via Playwrights Horizons):

On the outskirts of Mormon Country, Idaho, a six hundred pound recluse hides away in his apartment eating himself to death. Desperate to reconnect with his long-estranged daughter, he reaches out to her, only to find a viciously sharp-tongued and wildly unhappy teen.

Unfathomably bleak, sure, though same description suggests a “big-hearted and fiercely funny” tale of redemption and unexpected grace.

Ever since the ’50s, when the motion-picture industry felt existentially threatened by the rise of television (much as forces within it today feel existentially threatened by the rise of streaming), the movies have found ways to entice people into theaters with added benefits. 3D was the original P.T. Barnum attraction, and the return of 3D in the mid-2000s — it rose up from the dead as improbably as the beast in a “Creature From the Black Lagoon” sequel — was a sign of the tremors of economic anxiety that were starting to rumble through the industry.

Apart from “Avatar,” the 3D revival was always an annoying scam — a transparent way to jack up ticket prices, since what you were getting, in movie after movie (from “Journey to the Center of the Earth” to “Kung Fu Panda 2” to “Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert”), was a sea...

It's good to let the golden moments of childhood come flooding back sometimes. For many kids and kids at heart, Disney Channel is a big part of growing up.

Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby takes a shot at America in her latest stand-up special, “Hannah Gadsby: Douglas,” joking about the South’s use of “the best, most inclusive second person plural pronoun in the English-speaking world” (that would be “y’all”) and how “wildly popular trauma” is “in the context of comedy.”

Netflix shared the first trailer for “Hannah Gadsby: Douglas” on Tuesday, giving a look at the comedian’s follow-up to her acclaimed 2018 stand-up special, “Nanette.”

“I had no plans to make it in America. If you’re here because of ‘Nanette,’ why?” she asked in the trailer, which she can see above. “Had I known just how wildly popular trauma was going to be in the context of comedy, I might have budgeted my s— a bit better.

Former The Bachelorette contestant, Tyler Gwozdz, has died, according to People. 

He was 29 years old. 

Tyler appeared on The Bachelorette Season 15, aka Hannah Brown's season. 

An autopsy is pending, but the outlet claims that the cause of death is likely to be the result of a drug overdose.

Complicating matters is that even though she’s been dead for three years, she’s had a long cinematic afterlife. Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released after she had died and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker brought her back using the miracles of modern editing. All of which means fans are eager to show their appreciation for her work and her personality. And below you can find just selection of responses from social media:

Her new platinum blonde locks were styled pin-straight, with shorter bangs and longer strands running all around her head. The haircut also appeared to be a bit uneven in the photo, where a stray tendril was longer than the rest of her bangs.

The haircut, however, doesn't seem to have pleased the singer's fans. Some of the fans...

In December 2016, the world lost an icon in Carrie Fisher.

For Star Wars fans, she was the everlasting rebel – a princess who became a general and, in so doing, won the hearts of millions. Fisher will still appear in December’s Rise of Skywalker, thanks to CG wizardry and an unused piece of footage from The Force Awakens which just so happened to fit perfectly into the fabric of Episode IX. Or so says J.J. Abrams.

But today, on what would have been Carrie Fisher’s 63rd birthday, the Star Wars faithful have shared a series of touching tributes across the four corners of the Internet. Up first, Luke Skywalker himself: Mark Hamill, who posted a wonderful tweet dedicated to his late, great co-star.

In the latest installment of his ongoing interview series, host Stuart Wright talks with 606 Distribution co-founder Pat Kelman about his 5 Great British Horror Films, which include:

Eve Vault of Horror (1973) Frankenstein & the Monster From Hell (1974) The Omen (1976) The House that Bled to Death

606 Distribution acquired two new films at Cannes 2019. Silver Bear-winner System Crasher (Systemsprenger), and French music drama Le CHoc Du Futur (UK Title Tbc)

System Crasher joins 606’s roster of striking female-centred films, with a Triple-f rating of writer and director (Nora Fingscheidt), and an electrifying performance by 11 year old Helena Zengel. Le Choc Du Futur is directed by French music veteran Marc Collin of the band Nouvelle Vague, and describes itself as “an ode to the women in France in the 1980s who helped develop electronic music.” It stars Alma Jodorovsky and Clara Luciani.

Submitted for your approval… U.S. film and TV star Adam Scott will attend March’s Series Mania in France to deliver a masterclass accompanying the international premiere of CBS’ The Twilight Zone, a re-imagining of the 1959 cult science fiction program which bows on CBS All Access on April 1.

The updated series is produced by super hero super-producer Simon Kinberg, best known for re-invigorating the cinematic universe of Marvel’s “X-Men” franchise, and Academy Award-winner Jordan Peele, who also hosts and narrates the series.

Two episodes of the upcoming show will screen on Saturday March 30 at Series Mania: “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet” and “The Comedian.” Scott appears in the former, and will present his masterclass following the screenings.

Scott has demonstrated impressive range from comedies like “Parks and Recreation” and “Step Brothers,” to high-end TV drama in HBO’s “Big Little Lies.” He has received plaudits as a director as well,...

In this often wordless drama, Charlotte Rampling brings an intelligent intensity to the role of a woman whose ageing husband has been jailed

Experiencing the formal, compositional chill of this film is like opening the door of a freezer cabinet and putting your head inside. The Italian film-maker Andrea Pallaoro directs and co-writes, and the star is Charlotte Rampling, whose performance won her the Volpi cup for best actress at the Venice film festival two years ago. It is the portrait of a lonely, unhappy life and the action is almost wordless, in a series of scenes often recorded by fixed camera positions that (for a while) withhold from the audience the full truth of what is happening. It is perhaps inspired by Chantal Akerman’s 1975 film Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai Au Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles.

Hannah (Rampling) lives alone in a modest apartment in Paris, her face an enigmatic mask. In fact,...

The Berlinale hommage to the always outstanding Charlotte Rampling who also received an Honorary Golden Bear, was concluded with a long and lugrubious movie, ‘Hannah’ (2017).‘Hannah’, photo Courtesty of Parade Deck Flms

In its pacing and depiction of a solitary woman, it recalls Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, but the crime in this story is of her husband and she is left to deal with her life as the movie goes through her mundane existence, step by painful step.

Hannah drops her husband off at prison, where he is to begin serving a sentence. She then stoically goes about her life, household chores, working as a cleaning lady for a rich family, and taking part in an amateur theater group in the evenings. But signs pointing to an abominable crime by her husband accumulate, and Hannah begins to feel the pressure — people turn away from her...

French actor-turned-director Gilles Lellouche’s “Sink or Swim” and Xavier Legrand’s feature debut “Custody” lead the race for this year’s Cesar Awards, France’s equivalent of the Oscars, with 10 nominations each, including best picture and best director.

“Sink or Swim” (“Le Grand Bain” in France), a star-driven dramedy about a men’s synchronized swimming team, world-premiered at Cannes out of competition and was released by Studiocanal. The ensemble film, which was one of the highest-grossing French films in 2018, picked up multiple nominations in the best supporting actor and actress categories, for Jean-Hugues Anglade, Philippe Katerine, Leila Bekhti and Virginie Efira.

“Custody” follows a boy named Julien (Thomas Gioria), who is forced by a court ruling to split his time between his mother (Léa Drucker) and estranged father (Denis Ménochet), whom he regards as a violent monster, amid his parents’ bitter divorce. “Custody” world-premiered in competition at the Venice Film Festival,...
