The Penguin Lessons came to us in the form of a memoir by Tom Michell in 2016, and it has finally been made into a movie. Adapted by BAFTA-winning writer Jeff Pope, the story follows a British teacher who takes a job in Argentina in 1976. With the country’s political turmoil as the backdrop, the movie tells a human tale that reminds us that even in times of chaos and uncertainty, the bonds we form become the reason to stay alive.

Oscar-nominated director Peter Cattaneo helmed the dramedy and promises to bring his signature blend of heartfelt storytelling and nuanced character portrayal. Cattaneo is known for creating the comedy film The Full Monty, for which he won multiple accolades. Military Wives is another one of his projects that gained recognition.

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,...

One thing that always bothers Jeopardy! fans is when a question ends up counted wrong when it should have been correct. It seems that Pop Culture Jeopardy! has found a way around that, and it happened very early on in the first season of the new spinoff series on Amazon Prime Video.

Here is what happened in the episode and how the players’ protests paid off with a huge reversal on the show.

Pop Culture Jeopardy! Reverses Call For Paul Rudd Question

The second episode of Pop Culture Jeopardy! already had a controversial moment that has many fans talking. In that episode, a team was answering a question about a movie, and their answer was deemed incorrect. However, during the break, they protested the wrong answer, and when the show returned, they got it reversed.

Colin Jost read the clue to the players and it was about a Paul Rudd movie.

In the wee hours of Wednesday morning (December 4), Pop Culture Jeopardy!, hosted by Saturday Night Live’s golden boy Colin Jost, arrived, splashed on the above-the-fold front page of Amazon Prime Video. The brand-new, streaming-only addition to the Jeopardy!-verse is here. Its three-episode premiere meant fans woke up with some binging to do. Here’s what went down: Episode 1 was a thriller match with a come-from-behind victory in Final Jeopardy. Episode 2 featured a surprising score reversal involving an alternate film festival title of the Paul Rudd comedy Our Idiot Brother. Episode 3 was a battle royale of teams of all former Jeopardy! contestants. The reception has been generally positive from fans, one Redditor putting it, “Just watched the first episode. I’m hooked. What a wild finish!” Jost is a winning fit as host, and the gameplay, featuring teams of three (or nine players at once) buzzing in separately with...

The directors of “Anatomy of Lies” weren’t moved by former “Grey’s Anatomy” writer Elisabeth Finch’s public apology following the release of their Peacock docuseries.

The three-episode saga from Evgenia Peretz and David Schisgall, which launched Tuesday on the NBCUniversal streamer, expands on Peretz’s 2022 Vanity Fair exposé detailing how the TV writer lied for years about having a rare form of bone cancer, to the point where she infused those lies into storylines she wrote into the ABC medical drama.

The doc includes interviews with Finch’s former colleagues from “Grey’s Anatomy” and “The Vampire Diaries,” acquaintances and her ex-wife Jennifer Beyer, whom Finch met while seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder only to mine pieces of Beyer and her family’s troubled past for plot points in her work.

Finch shared a public apology on Instagram Tuesday...

A former Greys Anatomy writer has issued a public apology for faking a rare form of cancer for eight years following the release of a new docuseries that chronicles her trail of deceit and manipulation. Elisabeth Finch served as a writer on the Shonda Rhimes medical drama for 13 episodes starting in 2014, and produced 172 episodes before her departure in 2022, even appearing on-screen as Nurse Elizabeth in the Season 15 episode "Silent All These Years." The three-part docuseries titled Anatomy of Lies hit Peacock on October 15, prompting renewed interest in her story, which led to her statement.

In an Instagram post yesterday, Finch says that "sorry" doesnt begin to explain how she feels over this whole mess, claiming that she "trapped herself in an addiction of lies." Thats the understatement of the year, considering she went so far as to tape a catheter to her arm at one point, and shave her head...

Exclusive: Sosie Bacon, Amanda Righetti, Janet Montgomery, Stephanie Faracy and Mike Vogel (Sex/Life) have joined the recurring cast of Prime Video’s Scarpetta.

They join the previously announced Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis, who will both also executive produce; Bobby Cannavale, Simon Baker, Rosy McEwen, Jake Cannavale and Ariana DeBose.

Based on Patricia Cornwell’s best-selling book series, Scarpetta follows Kay Scarpetta (Kidman), Chief Medical Examiner, as she returns to Virginia and resumes her former position with complex relationships, both personal and professional – including her sister Dorothy (Curtis), with plenty of grudges and secrets to uncover.

Bacon plays Abby Turnball, a prize-winning reporter; Righetti plays Past Dorothy; Montgomery plays Janet, Lucy’s wife; Faracy plays Present Maggie, Scarpetta’s inherited assistant from her predecessor; Vogel plays city attorney Bill Boltz.

The series was officially picked...

Premiering October 15 on Peacock, Anatomy of Lies reveals the rise and fall of Grey’s Anatomy star writer Elisabeth Finch, whose jaw-dropping lies fooled Hollywood for years and became fodder for many high-profile episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.

Told in three episodes that are 60 minutes each, the story is told by some of her closest contacts, many speaking for the first time.

Originally reported in the Vanity Fair article “Scene Stealer,” the docuseries reveals how Finch, a master of manipulation, saved her best fiction for her own life story and exploited the empathy of those around her.

Her final mark was trauma survivor Jennifer Beyer, who entrusted Finch with her deepest secrets. But as Beyer uncovers the web of lies that deceived Hollywood for years, she faces a daunting challenge: can she reclaim the narrative from a convincing storyteller who showed no signs of stopping?

This Is Where I Leave You is a comedy-drama film directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay by Jonathan Tropper.

Exclusive: Janet Montgomery (The Ex-Wife) has been cast in the second season of the Paramount+ original drama series 1923 in a recurring role. Montgomery will play Hillary, a thoughtful woman who does not want to see injustice go unpunished.

1923 follows a new generation of Duttons led by patriarch Jacob (Harrison Ford) and matriarch Cara (Helen Mirren). The series explores the early 20th century, when pandemics, historic drought and the end of Prohibition plague the Mountain West and the Duttons who call it home.

As Deadline revealed last month, Dexter alum Jennifer Carpenter was cast in Season 2 of the Taylor Sheridan series. She will recur as ‘Mamie Fossett,’ a highly capable U.S. Deputy Marshall who serves warrants and makes arrests with confidence ahead of her time.

Evangeline Lilly is now a retired actress, a desire she first shared on the sets of Lost more than a decade back. Lilly stepping down from the film industry could also mean that she’s no longer available for the role of Hope van Dyne in the MCU. While the future of the character is currently undecided in the MCU, Lilly’s retirement could open doors for another actress.

New Girl star Zooey Deschanel was in consideration for the role of the Wasp in Joss Whedon’s The Avengers. She was supposed to appear as Janet van Dyne and reprise her role in the first Ant-Man movie. While her role didn’t happen at the time, now could be a good opportunity for Deschanel.

British actor Janet Montgomery has landed a starring role as a young Faye Dunaway in Jonathan Baker’s supernatural love story “Fate,” a film that is shooting in Vancouver for Baker Entertainment.

The film will toggle between a yesteryear version of the character (Montgomery) and a present-day incarnation (Dunaway), spanning much of the protagonist’s entire lifetime. “Fate” revolves around a firefighter (Brandon Routh) who connects with a stranger from the past Tilly (Montgomery) while he’s healing at a rehabilitation center and is transported through time to find the only thing saving his soul — his realization of true love, according to a producer’s logline.

Highland Film Group is selling rights to the $10 million film, which also stars Harvey Keitel, at the Cannes Marche.

Dunaway is on the ground in Cannes, where HBO screened the much-anticipated biographical documentary “Faye.”

Montgomery was cast out of hundreds of actors vying for the role.

At this year’s Oscars, “The Zone of Interest” director Jonathan Glazer took the prize for most polarizing speech. And the swirl surrounding exactly what he said and what he meant — still a matter of debate — doesn’t appear to be dying down.

When the British filmmaker took the stage after the Auschwitz-set Holocaust drama was announced as best international film, he was greeted with a standing ovation. He then referred to notes he’d prepared in advance, thanked the requisite players and drew a parallel between “Zone of Interest” and the current conflict in Gaza that was difficult to decipher given the audience applause and his own mumbling.

“All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say look what they did then, but rather look what we do now,” he said, according to the Academy’s official transcript of the speech. “Our...

One of HBO’s former hot properties returns in a big way this January, as True Detective season four finally arrives on the service. Will this be a return to form for the gritty show? Well, that remains unclear, but this time around the anthology series will follow detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) as the long winter darkness in Alaska. When eight people at the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace, these detectives need to get on the case quickly.

Also hitting Max this month is the final season of Sort Of. Season three finds Sabi (Bilal Baig) dealing with the unexpected death of their father, and making some big life choices as a result.

Zooey Deschanel is revealing what role convinced her to return to scripted television after taking a break once New Girl ended.

During a recently published interview with Vanity Fair, conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike, the actress said she decided to step away from acting temporarily to spend time with her two children. But she admitted that she also got so burned out from playing quirky Jess Day for seven seasons on the Fox comedy that she needed a break and even considered never returning to TV.

“It was a huge undertaking,” Deschanel added. “I couldn’t picture myself getting back into the game like that, especially not right away.”

Before New Girl, the actress was known for her roles in several movies, including 500 Days of Summer, Elf, Almost Famous, The Good Girl and Our Idiot Brother. So as she eased back into the industry, years after the Fox...

Apple TV+ is turning yet another bestselling book into a streaming series, much like it's done in the past with shows such as "Pachinko" and "The Essex Serpent." The streamer has shared new information surrounding the release of "City On Fire," an eight-part Apple Original crime drama inspired by the 2015 novel of the same name by author Garth Risk Hallberg. If you're familiar with the book, you'll know this is a mystery that you can spend hours nitpicking and still be surprised when you turn the page.

The 2008 comedy Step Brothers is one of the most popular movies about adults behaving like children, and it features Adam Scott as a memorable character who shifts his perspective and has a heartwarming arc. Scott was cast in Step Brothers one year prior to his first big role as Henry Pollard on the comedy series Party Down and he has had a varied career since, starring in the science-fiction series Severance, the sweet sitcom Parks and Recreation, and the prestige drama Big Little Lies. The actor has been a staple of quirky comedies such as Sleeping with Other People, Friends with Kids, and Our Idiot Brother.

With recent films like Everything Everywhere All at Once deftly blending comedy and drama, movie fans can't help but remember other so-called happy films that delivered a surprise emotional gut-punch.

With its list of new releases for September 2022, Prime Video is finally unveiling the most anticipated (and expensive) series in the streamer’s history.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will arrive to Prime Video’s servers on Sept. 2, 2022. This Lord of the Rings prequel, set in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Second Age, is in many ways the kind of TV property that Prime Video must have always wanted. It’s certainly the TV property most fitting with the company’s largesse and riches. The Rings of Power will cover the creation of the titular rings and many important events from Tolkien’s lore (condensed into a more TV-appropriate timeframe).

While queer comedians have been the hottest thing in stand-up for the last decade, it’s no secret that Hollywood is always the last one to get the joke.

As the likes of Kate McKinnon, Billy Eichner, and Bowen Yang ascended from New York’s musty improv theaters to the casts of “Saturday Night Live” and Disney remakes, the last decade has brought a remarkable shift in not only queer visibility but something far more substantial — queer influence. Queer TV shows like “The Other Two,” “Search Party,” and “Schitt’s Creek” reflect this sea change, but so far movies have been much slower on the uptake.

That all changes this year, with the release of two mainstream comedy movies from gay writers who also star in their projects. While Eichner’s major studio rom-com “Bros” is set to hit theaters in September, Joel Kim Booster’s “Fire Island” opens Pride month...

Update, October 14: Former child star Matthew Mindler died by suicide by using sodium nitrate that he ordered from Amazon.com, his mother said today.

Mindler bought the product for $15. The Lancaster County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that he died from suicide by sodium nitrate toxicity. Sodium nitrate is used to preserve foods and kills by causing low blood pressure and limiting the flow of oxygen to the body.

Monica Mindler said she discovered the Amazon connection while looking at her son’s internet search history after his death. The actor looked up information on buying sodium nitrate and how it was used to end life painlessly. He ordered enough to kill four people, she said.

Monica Mindler said she wanted to warn other families who might be unaware of the dangers of the substance.

Amazon has not yet commented.

This isn’t the most jam-packed month the major streamer has trotted out just yet but there are plenty of new originals to get the job done.

Netflix has a few original series of note this month. The party begins with Kid Cosmic on Feb. 2.
