Best known for Ratcatcher and We Need to Talk About Kevin, Lynne Ramsay got Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson to star in a horror-comedy that’s being highly praised by the critics. The majority of the reviews for Die, My Love seem to be in favor of the actress, with some critics calling her performance Oscar-worthy. While she wins an Academy Award for her role as Grace or not, she sure wins the award for the most hilarious storytelling.

While promoting Die, My Love, Jennifer Lawrence recalled how the very first scene she shot with Robert Pattinson for the movie was the one where the two actors are naked. Well, that’s one way to throw all the awkwardness out the window.

Die, My Love is a story about Grace,...

On the eve of a Cannes Film Festival world premiere, it would be understandable, and so easily forgiven, if you encountered the cast, filmmaker and creative collaborators behind a competition entry and found them to be nervous, on edge or maybe a little jittery. Not Lynne Ramsay and her team from Die, My Love.

The emotions radiating on Friday at sunset from the beloved Cannes auteur, her roster of producers and stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Lakeith Stanfield and Sissy Spacek are best described as calm, cool and confident on what proved to be one of those picture perfect evenings on the French Riviera. Even a light mist vanished in time for cocktail hour atop La Terrasse by Albane at the J.W. Marriott during an exclusive filmmaker dinner in honor of Die, My Love sponsored by Longines and presented by The Hollywood Reporter.

Die, My Love? Not so fast.

Continuing my recommendations for Korean ghost movies that are “unusually strange” (in my opinion). Movie (2) titled “Cadaver” (aka “The Cut”) had a low rating but I prefer to watch legal or medical dramas and make my own decisions. The lead actress is an award-winning actress who is very popular these days, so I was interested in her earlier work. Her acting career dates back to 2003. She had a minor role in “A Jewel in the Palace”, the K-drama that started the Korean Wave. ♦ (2) Cadaver (2007) Genre: Ghost stories, Horror, Supernatural, Fantasy, Crime, Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, Medical Drama Storyline: The story begins with what appears to be a gruesome murder scene. A woman who was stabbed with scissors is lying dead on the ground and a frightened young girl is staring at a man with bloody hands. It looks like he intends to kill her too. Did he? Don’t know. The scene changes,...

In recent months, we’ve learned that Silver Linings Playbook Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, The Batman star Robert Pattinson, and The Book of Clarence‘s Lakeith Stanfield have the lead roles in the thriller Die, My Love, which is coming our way from We Need to Talk About Kevin and You Were Never Really Here director Lynne Ramsay. Now, Deadline and World of Reel have unveiled the first images from the film, and they give us a look at the characters played by Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. One of the images can be seen above, and the other two can be found at the bottom of this article.

Scripted by Ramsay and Enda Walsh, Die, My Love is said to be “set in a remote forgotten rural area,” with the story centering on a mother who struggles to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis. The story is...

Hillary Clinton encouraged a film festival audience in Telluride, Colorado, to “get back to a time when your government is not determining what your choices for your family would be, which is just so Handmaid’s Tale.”

Clinton was in Telluride on Saturday for the premiere of Zurawski v Texas, a documentary she produced about a group of women who sued the state of Texas in 2023 after they were denied abortions when their health was at risk. The film, which was directed by Maisie Crow and Abbie Perrault and is seeking distribution, screened to a sold-out and often sobbing audience at the festival’s 650-seat Palm Theater.

Zurawski v Texas is one of a number of politically topical films at the festival, including Ali Abbasi’s The Apprentice, in which Sebastian Stan plays a young Donald Trump (Briarcliff Entertainment); Matt Tyrnauer’s Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid! about Democratic strategist James Carville,...

After dabbling in comedy with “No Hard Feelings,” Jennifer Lawrence is tapping back into her funny bone with a new project with A24.

Lawrence will star in and produce “Why Don’t You Love Me?” which is based on a graphic novel by Paul B. Rainey published in 2023. The logline is merely that Lawrence will star as one half of a couple struggling through their marriage while feeling like something is not quite right in their reality.

But Rainey’s book is described as a science-fiction dark comedy about marriage, alcoholism, and depression in which the couple realizes this unhappy marriage is not the life they chose for themselves upon hearing news of an impending nuclear war on the radio. Lawrence’s character is a chain-smoking stalker and couch potato who spends the bulk of her time in a bathrobe, and both she and her husband wonder if this life...

When you're as talented as Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, you're bound to stay booked and busy. Adding to her filmography is the upcoming murder-mystery flick The Wives. More on this film and Lawrence's involvement below.

The Wives is being described as a whodunnit type of movie that's partly inspired by the Real Housewives franchise. But plot details are being kept under wraps at the moment. Apple acquired the film after a highly competitive situation, and the company is said to be re-teaming with A24 to produce it. Both companies previously collaborated on the 2022 drama movie Causeway, which also starred Lawrence.

Michael Breslin and Patrick Foley, who previously collaborated on the play Circle Jerk, will write the screenplay. Lawrence is set to star and produce the film under her Excellent Cadaver production banner. Justine Ciarrocchi will produce the movie alongside Lawrence for Excellent Cadaver. Joining Lawrence and Ciarrocchi as producers...

It’s a whodunit with a whole lot of drama. Jennifer Lawrence will get to feud, day-drink and access oodles of disposable income, at least until a body turns up, in “The Wives,” a murder mystery that is in the vein of “The Real Housewives.”

Apple Original Films acquired the project in what it is describing as a “highly competitive situation.” Lawrence will produce the film alongside Justine Ciarrocchi for her company, Excellent Cadaver. Tony and Independent Spirit Award nominee Jeremy O. Harris and Josh Godfrey will also produce the picture under their bb2 banner. It is currently in development, so no word on the final plot or when it might shoot.

“The Wives” will be written by Michael Breslin and Patrick Foley, the writers of the play “Circle Jerk,” which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. The film is co-produced by Apple Studios and A24, which previously worked together on “Causeway,...

Actress Amala Paul, who recently announced her pregnancy, shared a fun video for New Year, flaunting her baby bump, and setting goals for 2024, saying, “reaching for the stars.” On January 4, Amala and her husband Jagat Desai had announced that they are expecting their first child, by sharing glimpses of their pregnancy photoshoot.

The actress took to her Instagram handle, where she enjoys 5.2 million followers, and shared a candid reel. The ‘Cadaver’ actress is seen wearing a green halter neck top, and orange joggers. She completed the look with a green headband, and a minimal neck piece. For the makeup, she opted for nude pink lips, and blushed cheeks.

Flaunting her baby bump, Amala can be seen posing with her pet cat Loki, against a beautifully decorated Christmas tree.

The video was captioned as: “Rooted in the earth, reaching for the stars.”

Amala and Jagat had tied the knot in November...

Jennifer Lawrence took time out on Monday night to shine a light on her Oscar nominated co-star Brian Tyree Henry and his work in their Apple/A24 movie Causeway, diving deep into his process. The actress sat down with the Best Supporting Actor nominee for a Q&a following a screening of the film at the London Hotel at Los Angeles.

The two play unlikely individuals, both who suffered trauma, as they find and prop each other in New Orleans. Lawrence plays Lynsey, an Afghanistan war vet who is suffering from body and brain injuries. Henry is James, a mechanic who lost his leg and a nephew in a car accident. Henry gravitated to the project having known the director Lila Neugebauer (making her feature directorial debut here) from Yale Drama School.

The pic began shooting during Covid, but had to shutdown at which point the actors workshopped the script...

The unit of director Anoop S Panicker’s investigative thriller, ‘Cadaver’, featuring actress Amala Paul in the lead, has released a trailer of the film. The trailer begins with a cold-blooded murderer claiming that he’s told a police surgeon what he’s done and what he’s about to do next. He throws a challenge asking the cops […]...

Eli Roth, who is known to have a passion for Italian B-movies, is at the Venice Film Festival to help promote biographical doc “Inferno Rosso: Joe D’Amato on the Road to Excess,” directed by Manlio Gomarasca and Massimiliano Zanin, in which Roth features as a talking head.

The doc, which premiered on the Lido as a special screening, sheds light on Aristide Massaccesi, known as Joe D’Amato, the under-the-radar producer, director and cinematographer who between the 1970s and the late 1990s spawned some 200 films in a wide range of genres spanning from spaghetti westerns to horror to erotic/exotic to porn. Roth spoke to Variety about what makes D’Amato stand out, including the fact that Indonesian-Dutch actress Laura Gemser starred in his “Emanuelle” franchise, not to be confused with the French “Emmanuelle” pics. Edited excerpts.

How did you discover Joe D’Amato and his films?

I first experienced...

Sex and violence, beauty and madness, shoulder pads and pitchforks being stuck in eyeball-faced models. All signs point to Italy in the ‘80s, and Lamberto Bava’s Delirium (1987) fits the bill with murder, mystery, and bee-faced models. What, you think eyeballs get all the fun?

Delirium was released by Medusa Distribuzione in its homeland in April under its original title, Le Foto Di Gioia, and stars Serena Grandi (Antropophagus) as Gioia, the owner of a men’s magazine called Pussycat. When her models start turning up dead, she must figure out who is killing everyone around her, and if she’s the final target. A perfectly normal thriller for the time, yes?

Hold tight, pardner. First, this is a giallo, which means we’re going to need a few things: As many red herrings as possible (check); gratuitous nudity (double check); and a completely nonsensical resolution. Now, one could say...

Netflix has revealed plans to open a new office in Stockholm that will function as a hub for the region.

The office will open in the second half of this year, as detailed in a new blog by Lina Brouneus, the streamer’s Director of Acquisitions & Co-Productions, Emea.

Netflix now has European offices in Amsterdam, Madrid, Berlin, London, Paris and Brussels, while Rome (and Istanbul) is opening later this year. The streamer recently revealed a new Bogota, Colombia, office to boot.

Brouneus said: “Now is the time for us to get even closer to our members, the creators, filmmakers, partners and cultural communities throughout the Nordics – which is why I’m excited to announce that in the second half of this year we’re opening a Nordic office in Stockholm that will function as a hub for the region. To further support the region and to reflect the diversity of talent we work with,...

Streamer will also run team of employees based in Copenhagen.

Netflix will open a Nordic hub in Stockholm, Sweden, in the second half of this year as it moves ahead with expanding its stable of regional content.

By the end of 2021 nearly 70 original films and shows from Nordic territories are expected to be available on the service.

Since 2012, original series include Quicksand, Love & Anarchy and Snabba Cash from Sweden; Norwegian series Ragnarok and Home For Christmas; series The Rain and new title The Chestnut Man in Denmark; and upcoming Icelandic sci-fi thriller series Katla.

Last year Netflix debuted Cadaver, its first film from the region,...

The top movies on the Netflix global chart are pretty diverse this week, from recent originals like Ben Wheatley’s Rebecca to horror pictures such as The Purge: Anarchy and Cadaver. Sneaking onto the list, however, is the Seth Rogen-starring Neighbors, with the 2014 comedy currently sitting at sixth place in the worldwide rankings. Why, then, might the pic be getting so much love right now?

One possible answer is that Neighbors is a light, dependably funny movie and as we all know, it’s been a fairly bleak last few months. The Nicholas Stoller-directed production sees Rogen pair up with Rose Byrne as a husband-and-wife duo with a young child who have to deal with a fraternity moving in next door. Led by Zac Efron’s Teddy, the college kids soon end up in a war with Rogen and Byrne’s Mac and Kelly Radner, setting up some ingenious sequences.

We’re getting ever closer to All Hallow’s Eve, and Netflix is keeping up the spooky season by delivering more Halloween highlights as the weeks go by. So far this month, we’ve already been treated to the likes of Adam Sandler’s Hubie Halloween, comedy-horror Vampires vs. the Bronx and smash hit sequel series The Haunting of Bly Manor. And this week brings even more creepy content to keep us chilled.

In total, there are four Halloween highlights hitting Netflix over the next few days – three original movies and one TV show. Here’s a handy list for you to check out, ranking the titles in chronological order by date of release:

Unsolved Mysteries (Volume 2) Rebecca (2020) Cadaver (2020) Over the Moon (2020)

The next batch of episodes of Unsolved Mysteries, Netflix’s revival of the classic mystery documentary series which kicked off earlier this year, lands on Monday, October 19th.
