It has been a banner year for Martin Delemazure, the managing director of Paris-based composer agency Grande Ourse.

He had seven films at the Cannes Film Festival in May featuring music by composers on the agency’s books, topped by Jury Prize-winner Emilia Pérez, which also won Best Cannes Soundtrack for Grande Ourse talent Camille, who takes a co-music credit with life and work partner Clément Ducol.

The other titles spanned Palme d’Or contender Wild Diamond, for which the soundtrack was composed by Audrey Ismaël, who also wrote the music for Un Certain Regard title The Kingdom.

Grande Ourse also represents David Sztanke, who wrote the music for a second film in the sidebar, Dog on Trial. Elsewhere in the Official Selection, client Matteo Locasciulli wrote the soundtrack for bio-doc Jacques Demy, the Pink and the Black in Cannes Classics.

Diane Lane has been a beloved star of the silver screen for several decades and is recognized for top-notch movies such as Unfaithful, Secretariat, and The Outsiders. Born in New York City, Lane started her acting career at a young age and, at the impressive age of 13, she made her feature film debut in the romantic comedy, A Little Romance, co-starring Laurence Olivier, who called the young actress "the next Grace Kelly."...

She was on the cover of Time magazine in her teens, and decades later the acclaimed actor is having another big moment. She discusses Feud, A Man in Full and the highs and lows of Hollywood

In those final fading years of the New York socialites, Diane Lane was a teenager and already an actor. It was Manhattan in the 70s, and she had glimpses into the world of high society insiders such as Babe Paley and Cz Guest – women the writer Truman Capote “collected” and then betrayed, as depicted in the Disney Plus series Feud: Capote vs The Swans. Lane, who plays queen bee Slim Keith, remembers occasionally coming into these women’s orbits.

“I met Lee Radziwill on several occasions,” she says, of the sister of Jackie Kennedy and another of Capote’s “swans”. “I was a young person and she was not, but I distinctly remember what...

Since The Last Update

This week’s Feinberg Forecast includes 11 categories that were not a part of last week’s, including those covering writing (drama, comedy, limited or anthology series, variety series, variety special and nonfiction program), reality programs (structured, unstructured and competition), game shows and animated programs. It is also the first edition to include Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, which has exploded since its April 11 debut, has officially been entered for Emmys consideration as a limited series and will seriously contend in several categories.

Over the past week, L.A.-area members of the TV Academy have been surrounded by — and, in many cases, invited to — high-profile FYC or FYC-adjacent events. PaleyFest’s lineup of panels included The Morning Show (with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon), Loki (Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson), Curb Your Enthusiasm (Larry David), The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (Stephen Colbert) and Late Night With...

If Criterion24/7 hasn’t completely colonized your attention every time you open the Channel––this is to say: if you’re stronger than me––their May lineup may be of interest. First and foremost I’m happy to see a Michael Roemer triple-feature: his superlative Nothing But a Man, arriving in a Criterion Edition, and the recently rediscovered The Plot Against Harry and Vengeance is Mine, three distinct features that suggest a long-lost voice of American movies. Meanwhile, Nobuhiko Obayashi’s Antiwar Trilogy four by Sara Driver, and a wide collection from Ayoka Chenzira fill out the auteurist sets.

Series-wise, a highlight of 1999 goes beyond the well-established canon with films like Trick and Bye Bye Africa, while of course including Sofia Coppola, Michael Mann, Scorsese, and Claire Denis. Films starring Shirley Maclaine, a study of 1960s paranoia, and Columbia’s “golden era” (read: 1950-1961) are curated; meanwhile, The Breaking Ice,...

Possibly the greatest collection of films for a modern classic showcase is about to take place at the TCM Classic Film Festival. The Wrap has revealed that the channel Turner Classic Movies, which is dedicated to unaltered, unedited film broadcasts of renowned movies in the history of cinema, has revealed the list of titles and guest appearances that will be featured at this year’s festival. The festival this year will be commemorating the 30th anniversary of the network. The TCM Classic Festival will be taking place in Los Angeles on April 18-21.

The event will screen the world premiere of a brand-new restoration of the 1995 film Se7en, the dark crime thriller starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. Director David Fincher will be there personally to unveil the film in IMAX. Another big screening will be the director’s cut of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which will play...

For those of us who remember going to the movies in 1977, we were treated to Star Wars, Smokey And The Bandit, The Spy Who Loved Me, Airport 77, The Car, Orca and Capricorn One. There was a rich wealth of movies to choose from and a time when audiences in their local cinemas would cheer and clap for the heroes. Then on December 14, 1977, coming off the success of Jaws, that director Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi masterpiece graced the screens. Close Encounters Of The Third Kind was the filmmaker’s next movie and, along with star Richard Dreyfuss and the magnificent score from composer John Williams, took audiences on a journey of mankind’s first meeting with aliens and let us know we are not alone in the universe.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind was nominated for eight Academy Awards, winning for Best Cinematography by Director of Photography Vilmos Zsigmond (The Sugarland Express...

The 2024 TCM Film Festival is ringing in its 15th anniversary with a slew of star-studded panels and premieres.

The festival, which takes place in Los Angeles from April 18 to 21, will kick off with a special 35mm screening of “Pulp Fiction” with actor John Travolta in attendance. This year’s festival theme is “Most Wanted: Crime and Justice in Film,” and fittingly, the festival boasts a cast reunion of prison escape drama “The Shawshank Redemption” with stars Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins.

Both “The Shawshank Redemption” and “Pulp Fiction” are celebrating 30 years since their respective 1994 releases.

The festival will close with Mel Brooks’ “Spaceballs,” with Brooks presenting the feature.

Additional programming includes the world premiere of the IMAX restoration of David Fincher’s “Se7en,” a restoration of “The Searchers” courtesy of Warner Bros. and The Film Foundation with Oscar-nominated writer/director Alexander Payne introducing the film, and “Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings presenting the U.

Those attending the 15th annual TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood next month will have an opportunity to engage with Mel Brooks and Vitaphone, both born in 1926. One’s extinct, the other’s still going strong.

While Brooks, 97, will be on hand for a closing-night screening of his 1987 comedy Spaceballs, six Vitaphone vaudeville shorts from the 1920s will be projected in 35mm, with sound played back from their original 16-inch discs on a turntable designed and engineered by Warner Bros.’ postproduction engineering department.

Also announced Thursday:

• Steven Spielberg will participate in a Q&a with Howard Suber — the UCLA faculty member at the center of the recent six-part TCM documentary The Power of Film — ahead of a director’s cut of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977);

• Nancy Meyers and Alexander Payne, respectively, will introduce world premiere restorations of Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959) and John Ford’s The Searchers...

Josh Brolin Was Once Arrested Under Domestic Abuse Charges ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

Domestic abuse and arrest are the reasons for Marvel star Jonathan Majors’ downfall. Majors was dropped by Disney after he was found guilty in the case, but before that, he was MCU’s big baddie, Kang of the Conqueror. Another MCU villain was once accused of domestic abuse and was arrested for the same. Josh Brolin, who is known for playing Thanos, was charged with domestic battery several years ago and paid a staggering amount for his bail. Scroll below to know.

Brolin is married to Kathryn Boyd, but before her, he was with Diane Lane, and the arrest occurred during that time. Lane is an American actress who made her film debut at 14 with A Little Romance. She is known for her works in Unfaithful, Under the Tuscan Sun, and others. She also plays the role of Superman’s mother,...

Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans is the second installment of Ryan Murphy's anthology series exploring Hollywood rivalries. The season is based on Truman Capote's relationships with a group of high-society women known as his "swans." The cast of the series features six accomplished actresses in leading roles, including Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, and Demi Moore.

Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans is the second installment in the Ryan Murphy FX anthology series that examines well-documented Hollywood rivalries. After a successful first season based on the famous feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, season 2 is based on Lawrence Leamer’s best-selling book, Capote's Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era. The season will look at what really happened between Truman Capote and his “swans,” a group of six high-society women he exposed in his writings.

The Golden Girls is a classic TV show that broke barriers by portraying the lives and experiences of older women, a group that's often marginalized in television. While seasons 3 and 4 of the show struggled with inconsistent storytelling and character development, season 5 started to improve, tackling important social issues while still providing entertainment. Season 1 of The Golden Girls is widely regarded as one of the best, addressing significant topics for women over 50 and featuring standout episodes like "A Little Romance." Season 7 is also praised for its memorable episodes and poignant ending.

The Golden Girls is one of television's greatest achievements, delivering seven seasons of classic humor and charm. Premiering in 1985, this iconic series has left a significant impact on pop culture, thanks to its enduring appeal and its groundbreaking premise. Starring Bea Arthur as Dorothy, Rue McClanahan as Blanche, Betty White as Rose, and Estelle Getty as Sophia, the show centers...

Sally Kellerman, who was Oscar nominated for her supporting role as Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan in Robert Altman’s “Mash” feature film, died Thursday in Woodland Hills, Calif. She was 84.

Her publicist Alan Eichler confirmed her death, and her daughter Claire added that she had been suffering from dementia for the past five years.

Among her other roles were a cameo in Altman’s “The Player,” a professor in Rodney Dangerfield’s “Back to School” and a Starfleet officer in the “Star Trek” episode “Where No Man Has Gone Before.”

The willowy blonde actress with the characteristically throaty voice appeared in two Altman films in 1970; the other was the more experimental “Brewster McCloud,” in which she starred with Bud Cort and Michael Murphy. In this film, which did not have a conventional narrative, Kellerman played Louise, the mother of Cort’s bewinged character, Brewster.

She next starred opposite Alan Arkin...

On September 14, 1985, “The Golden Girls,” one of television’s most beloved shows premiered on NBC. And more than three decades later, television audiences still can’t get enough of the groundbreaking series about a group of older women sharing a home — and more than a few cheesecakes– in Miami. We’ve put together the definitive list of the 25 greatest episodes of the Emmy-winning sitcom, ranked worst to best. Scroll through the images below to see if your favorite made the list.

The series focused on four women sharing a home in Florida: Naive, Minnesota-born Rose (Betty White); Man-hungry Southern belle Blanche (Rue McClanahan); divorced substitute teacher Dorothy (Bea Arthur) and her acerbic, wise-cracking Italian mother Sophia (Estelle Getty). Sadly, all four actresses have passed away, with White dying on December 31, 2021 just three weeks shy of her 100th birthday.

Allan Burns, co-creator of classic sitcoms “The Munsters” and ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” died this weekend at the age of 85.

Born in Baltimore and a graduate of the University of Oregon, Burns got his start in showbiz in 1959 as an animator for Jay Ward Productions, working on classic cartoons like “Rocky & Bullwinkle,” “Dudley Do-Right” and “George of the Jungle.” During that time, he also left his mark on supermarket aisles for decades as the creator of the famous cereal mascot Cap’n Crunch.

In 1964, Burns made the leap into live-action TV by teaming up with fellow “Rocky & Bullwinkle” writer Chris Hayward to create “The Munsters,” a legendary sitcom starring Fred Gwynne as the patriarch of a jovial family of monsters — and one human daughter — who are just trying to get by like any American family. While the show’s run was cut after two seasons due to...

Allan Burns, the Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated screenwriter and producer who co-wrote and co-created “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” died on Jan. 30, his son, Matt Burns, confirmed to Variety. He was 85.

His “Mary Tyler Moore Show” co-creator and longtime creative partner, James L. Brooks, announced Burns’ death on Twitter Sunday. “Alan Burns, my writing partner during the Mary Tyler Moore days, died yesterday. His singular writing career brought him every conceivable recognition,” Brooks wrote. “But, you had to know him to appreciate his full rarity. He was simply the finest man I have ever known. A beauty of a human.”

Allan Burns, a television producer and screenwriter best known for cocreating and cowriting for the television sitcoms The Munsters, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Rhoda, died Saturday at home. He was 85 and no details were immediately available on the cause of death.

Dan Pasternack, a producer and programming executive and longtime friend of the family, said Burns was a mentor to many. “As much of a legend as he was, and as diverse of a career as he enjoyed, the most remarkable thing about Allan Burns was how kind he was to so many people.”

Burns was born May 18, 1935 in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended the University of Oregon from 1953 to 1957 before heading to Los Angeles and breaking into show business.

His first venture included working in animation for Jay Ward on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, Dudley Do-Right, and George of the Jungle. He also is credited with cowriting...

Diane Lane is, objectively, a national treasure. Since her first role in A Little Romance in 1979, the accomplished actress has played the ingenue, the romantic foil, the action star, the woman scorned and so much, much more.

Just last year, Lane starred alongside Kevin Costner and Lesley Manville in Let Him Go, written and directed by Thomas Bezucha. The film tells the story of George and Margaret Blackledge, who fight to save their grandson from his indoctrination into the evil Weboy family. In our positive review, we wrote that, “Not surprisingly, [Diane] Lane is the heart at the center of Let Him Go. She has been a movie star for nearly her entire life and somehow still does not get the credit she deserves. The emotional trajectory of her character is built on only a handful of scant scenes at the top of the picture.”

With the western thriller now available...

Diane Lane was just 14 years old when she made her big-screen debut, starring with film legend Laurence Olivier in A Little Romance. Before she left her teens, she had made The Outsiders and Rumble Fish with other young stars like Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, and Nicolas Cage. It was a flurry of [...]

Dapper old rascal and park-bench regular Julius (Laurence Olivier) wants to make a place in our jumbled world for A Little Romance. Specifically, he aids and abets Diane Lane and Thelonious Bernard as 13-year-olds in Paris whose genius IQs are no match for the innocent spell of first love. They decide to seal their union with a sunset kiss under Venice’s Bridge of Sighs. It’s a perfectly impulsive puppy-love scheme — and a perfect trek for pied piper Julius to lead. Gracefully scripted by Allan Burns (Mary Tyler Moore), overflowing with Continental charm under the direction of George Roy Hill (The Sting) and set to a sublime Oscar-winning* score by Georges Delerue,...

Happy happy 55th birthday to Diane Lane on January 22, 2020! It’s difficult to believe, but Lane has been a star for four decades now, having first appeared on the cover of Time Magazine at age 14 for her performance in George Roy Hill‘s “A Little Romance.” Since then, Lane has shone in dramas, romances and even a biker musical!

Beginning her career as a romantic lead, Lane eventually matured as a serious, critically-acclaimed actress, earning an Oscar nomination, a Golden Globe nom and a Screen Actors Award nomination for her performance in 2002’s “Unfaithful,” as well as a second Globe bid for “Under the Tuscan Sun” and a second SAG nomination as part of the ensemble cast of 2015’s “Trumbo.”

Varèse Sarabande, renowned as Hollywood’s preeminent soundtrack label, celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, going into its fifth decade under new ownership — Concord Music acquired the label in February — while renewing its goal of presenting the best of movie and TV music, both current and past.

According to label VP and veteran producer Robert Townson, Varèse’s mandate hasn’t changed. It’s all about “focusing on the big picture, maintaining a role in the community and standing by the next generation of composers,” Townson says. “The entire history of Varèse is about taking calculated gambles, maintaining an artistic integrity and releasing scores even when we knew we were going to lose money.”

Townson should know. He has produced more than 1,400 soundtracks since his association with the label began 32 years ago. As an ambitious 19-year-old in Whitby, Ontario, he launched his Masters Film Music label to provide a home...

As specialized distributors head to Cannes, Eleanor Coppola’s French valentine “Paris Can Wait” (Sony Pictures Classics) scored with arthouse moviegoers. It’s only the fourth 2017 limited release to break the increasingly rare $20,000 per-theater-average mark.

These days, movies with older audience appeal are sustaining the market — and will likely form the core demo for similar available new films at Cannes. Eleanor Coppola (“Apocalypse Now” documentary “Heart of Darkness”) makes her narrative film debut at 81 with her semi-autobiographical first screenplay, starring Diane Lane as the wife of a self-involved film producer (Alec Baldwin).

New York also saw a handful of other small but still promising initial results, led by Cate Blanchett stunt-theater piece “Manifesto” (Film Rise), Israeli marriage story “The Wedding Plan” (Roadside Attractions) and “Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe” (First Run).

It's not just that the Melissa Joan Hart sitcom was a popular show for pre-teen girls or even pre-teens in general; it's that it helped established a network identity for the channel it was on, a still-young Nickelodeon, and helped shape a lot of similarly focused shows that aired throughout the rest of the '90s.

A little teleporting. A little romance. A few secrets. And a lot of intrigue.

That pretty much sums up where we're at with the new CW series The Tomorrow People. But with tonight's episode - "Girl, Interrupted" - things are sure to get more and more complicated for Stephen (Robbie Amell) and his new circle of 'friends,' including Peyton List's Cara. 

Will the spark between Stephen and Cara grow? If so, what will that mean for Cara's current relationship with the suspicious Luke Mitchell's John? Will Stephen working with Jedikiah at Ultra further put The Tomorrow People in danger?

Peyton List Set Interview

The Tomorrow People airs...

When an actor is invited to a party celebrating casting directors, he or she RSVPs an emphatic yes. And so it was that the July 29 premiere party (at the HBO screening room and later at Manhattan’s Gramercy Park Hotel) for Tom Donahue’s documentary “Casting By”—premiering on HBO Aug. 5—was a particularly star-studded affair. As people chatted and flipped through the “Casting By” issue of Backstage, bold-faced names including Martin Scorsese, Parker Posey, Zach Grenier, Stephen Lang, and Dana Delany mingled with Donahue and casting directors Joanna Colbert, Amanda Mackey, Juliet Taylor, and Ellen Lewis. Following a screening of Donahue’s film—which included a discussion with Donahue, Taylor, and moderator Scott Foundas—much of the audience trooped over to the Gramercy Terrace for cocktails inspired by some of the movies discussed in the documentary. A favorite among the crowd was the Sting, a highbrow bloody mary made...

Tall and part blonde/part brunette, Leslye Headland darted into our interview and gave me a warm greeting and an intense gaze. She explained that she had just run across town in Manhattan to walk her dog in between interviews while promoting her debut film, Bachelorette. The film is based on her stage play of the same name, about a gang of attractive girls (Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Kaplan and Isla Fisher) behaving badly before their friend’s wedding. I ask what her dog’s name is. “His name is Ramius. Which is Sean Connery’s name in The Hunt For Red October,” she says, deadpan. “My life is littered with film references.”

After leaving a job as an assistant to Harvey Weinstein, Headland moved to L.A. to pursue writing full-time. To help supplement her savings, she got a job at a video store, where she was the only woman surrounded by “cutthroat film nerds.

Looks like he hasn't lost it after all!

After a tumultuous year that involved being arrested for punching his party bus driver, Matthew Fox is doing pretty well for himself. According to Variety, the "Lost" actor has signed on to "Emperor," a thriller set in post World War II Japan. Fox will be playing Bonner Fellers, a general given the task of deciding whether or not Emperor Hirohito should be prosecuted for his war antics. A little romance is thrown into the mix, of course -- Fellers is pining after a Japanese girl he fell in love with, making it difficult for him to focus on his decision.

But will Fox return to TV, the medium responsible for his career? Not likely, according to the Telegraph. "This has nothing to do with any kind of snobbery," Fox explained. "I think some of the best writing is happening on television. It's because of the time commitment,...

The 25-year-old actress – who was previously in a lesbian relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson - has been spotted on a dinner date with Spencer Falls at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont hotel, and the hunk was also seen leaving her home in Venice Beach, California.

A fellow diner told America’s Star magazine: "Lindsay seemed totally smitten by him and just really happy. It was really refreshing to see her back to her old self again.”

The troubled actress - who last month completed 35 days under house arrest for stealing a necklace and violating the terms of her 2007 conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) – was recently pictured having her breast fondled by Spencer during a late night photo shoot captured by her friend Tyler Shields in Los Angeles.

Yes another name has been added to Zack Snyder’s hotly anticipated Superman reboot, Superman: Man of Steel, and this time it’s Superman’s Mum!

Diane Lane has been cast as Martha Kent, the adoptive mother of Clark Kent/Superman (Henry Cavill), according to a Warner Bros. press release. This news comes hot on the heels of rumours that “The Lord of the Rings” actor, Viggo Mortensen could possibly be in line to play rogue Kryptonian, General Zod in the picture. Although this rumour has yet to be confirmed.

“This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman” Snyder said in a statement, “We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination.”

Yet another name has been added to the growing cast of Zack Snyder's as-yet-untitled reboot of the "Superman" movie franchise. "Unfaithful" actress Diane Lane will play Martha Kent in the film, according to a Warner Bros. press release.

Calling the character "the only mother Clark Kent has ever known," the official announcement makes no mention of any other actors cast in the film except for Henry Cavill, the British actor chosen to play the Man of Steel earlier this year. Rumors had pegged Kevin Costner as a "person of interest" for the role of Jonathan Kent, Martha's husband and the adoptive father of Clark Kent.

Despite recent reports that the studio was narrowing in on a female lead for the film — not Lois Lane — that piece of the Superman reboot puzzle remains a mystery.

Here's the official text of the announcement:

Diane Lane Cast As Martha Kent In Warner Bros. Pictures...

The past few weeks have been rife with casting rumors for the forthcoming Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Rises) produced, Zack Snyder (Sucker Punch) directed Superman reboot. The only truly confirmed castmember before this announcement was the big, blue boyscout himself, being played by Henry Cavill (Immortals, The Tudors).

Now, Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have announced that Diane Lane (Secretariat, Cinema Verite) has officially been cast in the film as Clark/Superman’s adoptive Earth Mother, Martha Kent. If previous reports hold up, and the deal is made, the actress will likely be starring opposite Kevin Costner (The Company Men, A Little War of Our Own) who is supposedly being eyed for the role of Jonathan Kent.

Phyllis Thaxter portrayed Martha Kent in director Richard Donner‘s 1978 film, Superman: The Movie, Eva Marie Saint portrayed Martha in Bryan Singer‘s 2006 film, Superman Returns, and Annette O’Toole presently...
