A24 is undoubtedly one of the most popular movie studios of the modern era. They've cranked out some of the most successful films of the past few years and don't seem to be slowing down any time soon. With that said, though, not all A24 movies hit the mark with audiences and critics. A24 has been in the film game for a little over a decade, having released its first full-length feature in 2013. Since then, the studio has grown strong roots in specific areas like horror, often drawing viewers in with its particular indie film vibe and consistent blockbusters.

While horror is arguably the studio’s forte, A24 thrives in other genres, with diverse movies dominating the field almost annually. Aside from notable films like Everything Everywhere All At Once sweeping 2023’s award season, the studio has also grown iconic directors like Barbie’s Greta Gerwig. Those movies have astonishing...

Quick Links What Is Dark Places About? Sharp Objects Shares Many Similarities With Dark Places Gillian Flynn Will Be Involved in the New Dark Places Series

In 2015, A24 released Dark Places, one of its relatively few flops. Also surprisingly, Dark Places is an adaptation of a Gillian Flynn novel, whose novel also inspired the highly successful Gone Girl merely a year earlier. The book is getting another chance at an adaptation, with HBO planning to make it into a TV limited series soon.

This series will be following in the footsteps of HBO's Sharp Objects from 2018, which was also an adaptation of the Gillian Flynn novel of the same name. Grappling with some similar plot points and themes as Dark Places, Sharp Objects is a must-watch in preparation for the upcoming show.

Marielle Heller’s highly anticipated “Nightbitch,” based on Rachel Yoder’s 2021 novel of the same name, had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, September 7. The Amy Adams-led thriller follows a woman who pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom, before convincing herself that she is turning into a dog.

From Adams being announced to both star and produce back in the summer of 2020, the premise alone garnered chatter about a potential seventh Oscar nomination for the actress, who was most recently nominated for Best Supporting Actress in 2019 for “Vice.” It’s also worth noting, three out of four of the last Best Actress winners have also been from Searchlight Pictures films.

However, for Adams “it’s not something I think about when I approach a role or when I walk on a red carpet,” she told IndieWire. “I’m always happy if the film...

The modern obsession with the 1980s and the love of biopics, and particularly biopics about musicians, collides in this latest project from TriStar Pictures. As revealed by Deadline, the next music icon getting the biopic treatment is '80s icon Boy George. The announcement reveals that J.C. Lee is set to write the screenplay for TriStar Pictures project. Lee is best known for co-writing the 2019 drama Luce, the film adaptation of the Lee's own play.

On television, he has credits which include ABC's How To Get Away With Murder, Apple's The Morning Show, and HBO's Looking and Girls. He also has extensive experience in theater, and has recently worked on To My Girls, Relevance, and Warplay. His next project (aside from the Boy George biopic) is Hulu's Bad Genius adaptation, releasing this fall.

The biopic is set to be produced by Academy Award-winning producer, Cathy Schulman, whose previous credits include Crash,...

Charlize Theron was considered for A24's Friday the 13th series as Pamela Voorhees, but the project was put on hold. Bryan Fuller was dismissed from the project due to behind-the-scenes complications, causing the development to halt. A24 is still committed to making the show, but it's uncertain if the original Fuller scripts will be used.

A24's curbed Friday the 13th series would have given us Charlize Theron as the mother of Jason Voorhees. Development on the highly anticipated prequel series titled Crystal Lake was reportedly stopped in May 2024, which is a major loss for fans of classic Jason Voorhees films and the horror genre at large. Although the original Friday the 13th movie from 1980 essentially acts as the prequel to the franchise, I'm sold on just about anything that involves A24 and horror, so having the project come to an indefinite halt is certainly not inspiring to hear.

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for The Conners season 6, episode 11.

Becky's addiction struggles resurfaced in The Conners season 6, with her internship at a rehab clinic leading to personal turmoil. Despite the dark themes, The Conners handles the Conner family's challenges with humor and resilience. Becky's relationship with Tyler deepened as they navigated her past addiction issues together, showing promise for their future.

Although The Conners season 6 isnt the sitcoms darkest outing, the Roseanne spinoff did revive one of its saddest storylines in episode 11. The Conners has a big cast of characters and they have faced more than their fair share of trauma over the decades. Since Roseanne started its original run back in 1989, the Conner family has struggled with poverty, unexpected pregnancies, addiction, domestic abuse, alcoholism, unemployment, and injury. Even the shows name change came about because of an offscreen tragedy, with Roseannes original eponymous heroine being killed off after...

Hollywood has a problem. A problem with names. If you are not American, or English (and even that is a problem sometimes), then chances are people have been butchering your name since forever. Irish, Afrikans, Indian, Eastern European, or really, anywhere that is not American, it won’t be a surprise for people to learn that even after decades, some celebrities have been called by names that is not really theirs.

Timothée Chalamet in Don’t Look Up | Don’t Look Up

Although some have been proficient since the beginning, and made sure their names are pronounced correctly, like Benedict Cumberbatch, some have not been able to get people to pronounce their names correctly even after being in the business for decades – like Charlize Theron. And some, like Timothée Chalamet, just don’t care what name you call them by.

Here are five celebrity names, including Charlize Theron, that you have probably...

The Amazing Amy books in Gone Girl were inspired by Amy Dunne, which created a twisted self-image for the character growing up. The Gone Girl film adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel gained critical acclaim, and Flynn has spoken about potentially writing a sequel novel. Real-life versions of Amazing Amy books were created for promotions, illustrated by Kirk Van Wormer and referenced in the film.

In Gone Girl (2014), the Amazing Amy books are 'inspired by' Amy Dunne, and although they are a fictional series, some versions have been created in the real world. The Amazing Amy books in the film are written by Amy Dunne's (Rosamund Pike) parents, with their daughter as the inspiration. However, because the fictional Amy is so perfect, the real Amy Dunne grows up with a twisted concept of herself, and a need to present herself as perfect. The series is referenced by adult Amy adult several times,...

If you've been missing the acidic wit of "Gone Girl" and "Sharp Objects" author Gillian Flynn lately, don't worry: she's reportedly back in the screenwriting game, this time with a script that's set to become a Tim Burton movie, per Variety.

According to the outlet, Burton is set to direct a new version of "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" penned by Flynn, with Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper producing and Kai Dolbashian on board as an EP. Mittman and Harper worked with Burton on Netflix's smash hit "Wednesday," and hopefully the unlikely director-screenwriter duo will bring new life to the story (which comes from the 1958 B-movie of the same name).

Apparently, it's unclear as of yet how much Burton and Flynn's "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" will follow its predecessor, but it's worth noting that the Nathan Hertz-directed original featured a literal 50-foot woman who was...

“The Nightmare Before Christmas” creator Tim Burton and “Gone Girl” writer Gillian Flynn are tackling a remake of “Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman” for Warner Bros.

Burton is directing the upcoming film from a script by Flynn. The science-fiction horror story follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and exacts revenge on her cheating husband. It’s unclear how closely this new take will follow the original 1958 movie, starring Allison Hayes, William Hudson and Yvette Vickers. The first film reportedly carried a budget of just $88,000 — so it’s reasonable to assume the remake will have a slightly higher price tag.

The project reteams Burton with Warner Bros., where he is currently working on the sequel to his 1988 movie “Beetlejuice.” The follow-up film about a pesky poltergeist, newly and fittingly titled “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” will be released in theaters on Sept. 6. His other directing credits include “Edward Scissorhands,...

Exclusive: In the wake Barbie racking up eight Oscar nominations including Best Picture and becoming Warner Bros’ highest grossing movie of all-time at $1.44 billion, here’s another female power event project that’s in the works under the Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy administration.

We understand that Tim Burton is attached to direct Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman, a reimagined telling of the 1958 Warner Bros. movie classic, which Primetime Emmy nominee Gillian Flynn is writing.

The original sci-fi cult classic made for a reported $88K starred Allison Hayes as a wealthy heiress whose close encounter with an alien triggers her to grow into a giantess, complicating her marriage which is already in turmoil no thanks to her philandering husband.

Burton has delivered reimagined ’50s sci-fi movies before for a mass audience, that being 1996’s Mars Attacks (which was actually based on the Topps trading cars) and featured an ensemble cast of Jack Nicholson,...

HBO's new miniseries adaptation of Gillian Flynn's Dark Places is highly anticipated by fans and long overdue. Gillian Flynn's involvement in the series as a writer and co-creator increases the likelihood of a successful adaptation. Adapting Dark Places as a limited series allows for a more thorough and detailed retelling of the complex and intricate storyline.

HBO has announced a new miniseries adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s underrated thriller novel Dark Places, and it’s something that Flynn’s fans have wanted for years. Flynn’s second published novel, Dark Places revolves around the sole survivor of a massacre in rural Kansas and the story deals with themes of the class divide and the Satanic panic that swept the U.S. in the 1980s. When it was published in 2009, Dark Places appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list for two weeks in a row.

Flynn herself is...

When Gillian Flynn novels hit the screen, it tends to result in something highly watchable. Take, for instance, David Fincher’s big-screen adaptation of Gone Girl, with its stellar casting of Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck, or HBO’s adaptation of the ultra-dark Sharp Objects, anchored by the ace Amy Adams. Now, another of Flynn’s novels is being adapted into an HBO series – her Sharp Objects follow-up Dark Places.

The series will see Flynn serve as co-creator, writer, and co-showrunner, working alongside Brett Johnson in all those capacities – while Guerrin Gardner will be co-creator and writer. The show is said to be in early development, so stay tuned for updates of it moving further into the pipeline. The novel was previously adapted as a film by writer-director Gilles Paquet-Brenner in 2015, with Charlize Theron leading the cast, though it went largely under the radar and received mixed reviews.

Here’s...

HBO is developing a limited series based on Dark Places, the bestselling novel by Gillian Flynn, with Flynn serving as co-creator and writer. Dark Places is best suited for an HBO limited series format, allowing the narrative to gradually build and explore mature and disturbing subject matter. A limited series format ensures a faithful adaptation of the source material without the need to unnecessarily continue the story.

HBO is developing a new limited series based on Dark Places, the bestselling 2009 novel written by Gone Girl and Sharp Objects author Gillian Flynn. All three of Flynn's popular mystery novels have received onscreen adaptations: the 2014 Gone Girl film starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, the 2015 Dark Places film starring Charlize Theron, and the 2018 HBO limited series adaptation of Sharp Objects starring Amy Adams. While the Gone Girl and Sharp Objects adaptations received mostly positive reviews, the Dark Places film was critically panned.

Variety reports that HBO is developing a limited series based on Gillian Flynn’s Dark Places. If that strikes a chord, you might remember that Dark Places was previously adapted into a film starring Charlize Theron. The film received mediocre reviews and only grossed $5.1 million upon its release in 2015, so it’s entirely understandable if you don’t remember it.

The logline of the novel, which was originally published in 2009, states: “Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in the famous 1985 ‘Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas.’ She survived—and famously testified that her teenage brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, a pair of mother/daughter true crime ‘detectives’ locate a grownup Libby and pump her for details, believing that Ben is innocent. Libby, having spent her youth working the talk show circuit, hopes to once again turn a profit off her tragic history:...

What if I told you that almost ten years ago, famous author Gillian Flynn had one of her novels adapted into a feature film starring the likes of Charlize Theron, Christina Hendricks, Nicholas Hoult, Corey Stoll, Tye Sheridan, and even a young Chloë Grace Moretz, for good measure? You'd probably accuse me of lying, since that first attempt to bring Flynn's 2009 book "Dark Places" to life mostly just came and went after releasing to poor reviews and has promptly been memory-holed by the moviegoing public at large. While that was a blow at the time — don't worry, Flynn was probably comforting herself with the fact that yet another adaptation of her work, David Fincher's "Gone Girl," had become an instant hit the year before — that loss has now become HBO's gain.

Variety reports that the network behind the hit series "Sharp Objects" is back in the Gillian Flynn business once again,...

Gillian Flynn is returning to HBO following “Sharp Objects.”

The author will adapt her novel “Dark Places” into a HBO limited series, as IndieWire can confirm. Variety first reported the announcement.

Flynn, whose novel “Gone Girl” was adapted in an Oscar-nominated David Fincher film, will serve as co-creator, writer, and co-showrunner with Brett Johnson (“Escape at Dannemora”). Guerrin Gardner is also credited as a co-creator and writer for “Dark Places.”

The 2009 novel follows Libby Day across decades as she revisits the death of her mother and two sisters amid an alleged Satanic killing spree in Kinnakee, Kansas in 1985. While Libby survived, she testified that her teenage brother Ben was the murderer.

Per the logline, “Now, 25 years later, a pair of mother/daughter true crime ‘detectives’ locate a grownup Libby and pump her for details, believing that Ben is innocent. Libby, having spent her youth working the talk show circuit, hopes...

From “Gone Girl” author Gillian Flynn, the novel Dark Places was first adapted back in 2015 as a movie starring Charlize Theron, and an HBO limited series is now in the works.

Variety reports that Gillian Flynn will serve as co-creator, writer, and co-showrunner on the “Dark Places” series from HBO, with Brett Johnson co-creating, writing and showrunning.

Guerrin Gardner is also credited as co-creator and writer, Variety notes.

Here’s the official synopsis for Gillian Flynn’s 2009 novel…

HBO is developing a limited series based on the Gillian Flynn novel “Dark Places,” Variety has learned exclusively.

Flynn will serve as co-creator, writer, and co-showrunner on the project and holds the rights to the novel. Brett Johnson will also serve as co-showrunner, co-creator and writer, with Guerrin Gardner also credited as co-creator and writer.

Nicholas Hoult has the acting range to play Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy. Nicholas Hoult has already played a millennial elitist who believes the rich should eat the poor in a horror film. Nicholas Hoult's horror role improved on Jessie Eisenberg's Lex Luthor, proving he can be a madman drunk on power.

The following article contains a mention of suicide.

It may have taken some time, but James Gunn's Superman: Legacy is taking shape in big ways. With David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, the foundation has already been laid for Superman's next outing. In addition, Nathan Fillion and Isabela Merced were cast as Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl.

Now, the film has its Jimmy Olsen in Skylar Gisondo and its Eve Teschmacher in Sara Sampaio. However, the biggest announcement since Corenswet is news that Nicholas Hoult will be playing Lex Luthor.

“The Sopranos” star Drea de Matteo announced in late August that she was launching an OnlyFans account that followers could subscribe to for $15 a month. Now in an interview with Fox News Digital, the actor explained that pivoting to OnlyFans came as a result of losing acting work over the last couple of years due to her stance against Covid vaccine mandates.

“I know some people have said some nasty things about me having joined OnlyFans,” de Matteo said. “But, you know, the way we see it in this house is mommy’s a warrior, not accepting defeat…I figured, ‘Ok, so everybody’s in their underwear and being sexy on Instagram and I don’t do that, but I can do that and get paid for it’…I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner.”

According to de Matteo, she was forced to “switch careers...

The 1993 film True Romance is the rare Quentin Tarantino script that wasn’t directed by Tarantino himself — it was directed by the late Tony Scott, and it featured an ensemble cast that was led by Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. Released 30 years ago, it was not an immediate success at the box office — even with the participation of big names like Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer, Dennis Hopper, and Christopher Walken, the film struggled to earn back its shooting budget. It got great reviews, though, and its reputation has only increased over time — it’s now regarded as a cult classic. Slater’s performance was particularly intense and disturbing, and though Slater doesn’t consider himself a method actor, he admitted at the time that the film’s darkness bled over into his own life while they were filming.

Revenge is a dish best served cold in "Man on Fire," Tony Scott's excellent, violent thriller from 2004. The film is currently streaming on Netflix overseas, where audiences are seemingly keen to tune into the adventures of Denzel Washington's John W. Creasy. Creasy, we learn, is a damaged, miserable, unshaven former CIA agent and mercenary turned bodyguard. If that sounds like a demotion, it is — Creasy has a drinking problem that's pretty much destroyed his career. Now he can only find work guarding other people. He's also perpetually miserable and grumpy, unwilling to get close to anyone for any reason. His only friend is an old friend played with weird gusto by Christopher Walken.

Walken's character helps Creasy land a new job. This latest gig takes Creasy to Mexico, where he's tasked with guarding Pita (Dakota Fanning), a young girl who is the daughter of a wealthy Mexican businessman...

Jane Birkin, the British-French actress, singer, and style icon who inspired the eponymous Hermès Birkin handbag, has died at the age of 76.

According to Le Parisien, the iconic singer-actress was found dead at her home in Paris on Sunday. No further details have been shared at this time.

Home to films like “Lady Bird,” “Eighth Grade” and “Mid90s,” A24 is synonymous with a certain brand of indie, auteur-driven coming-of-age story. The company’s latest is “Funny Pages,” the debut feature film from writer-director Owen Kline (who you might recognize as Frank from “The Squid and the Whale”). Set in the suburbs of New Jersey, “Funny Pages” follows Robert (Daniel Zolghadri), a talented high schooler determined to make his way as a cartoonist. When his beloved teacher suddenly passes away, he rebels against his upper-middle class upbringing and abandons future plans to attend art school.

Robert’s decision to drop out of school, rent sketchy (i.e. illegal) lodgings in a boiler room and take a low-paying assistant job bring him into the path of Wallace (Matthew Maher), a former employee at one of the comic magazines Robert idolizes. With the singular goal of getting Wallace to mentor him,...

Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is set to premiere on HBO and HBO Max on Aug. 21, just over three years after Game of Thrones concluded in controversial fashion with “The Iron Throne.” This new series is a prequel, depicting the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons from George R.R. Martin’s lore. When dragon fights dragon, the realm will be torn asunder. But the viewer will certainly delight in all the Targaryen action.

An impressive slate of A24 films are coming to HBO Max next month, including Oscar-winners like 2015’s “Room” and Alex Garland’s directorial debut “Ex Machina.”

A total of 28 A24 films will arrive on the streamer on Aug. 1, timed to the studio’s tenth anniversary and marking the largest collection of A24 films made available to stream on the platform. Much of the lineup consists of films released prior to 2016, when A24 was still a distribution house and not yet the full-fledged studio it is today.

Some buzzy titles such as “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” “Eighth Grade,” “Mid90s” and dozens more are not on this list because of prior deals the studio set up with other streamers. Most A24 films can be found on Apple TV+ and Showtime, who set up deals to serve as the home for a number of their digital releases in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

"Gone Girl" is one of the most popular mystery novels of the postmodern era. Before publication, expectations for the book were high, as author Gillian Flynn's previous works, "Sharp Objects" and "Dark Places," had established her as a sharp, cunning writer unafraid to tackle truly twisted material. "Gone Girl" became a sensation when it hit bookshelves in 2012; the question "Who is Amy Dunne?" haunted both the novel's characters and an audience of mystery fans.

Hollywood quickly turned its attention to an adaptation. 20th Century Fox nabbed the rights, and Flynn was hired to write the adaptation herself. Some authors may complain when...

Actor Tye Sheridan is wearing a different hat with his new media-tech startup — which he claims will let indie filmmakers deliver blockbuster-level VFX on a fraction of the budget.

Sheridan (above right) co-founded Wonder Dynamics with visual-effects artist Nikola Todorovic (above left). Over the last four years, the duo have been quietly experimenting with using artificial intelligence and machine learning to create interactive video applications. Now Wonder Dynamics is gearing up to introduce a new AI production tool that they promise will let independent artists produce dazzling VFX and CGI animations for far less than is required today.

“It breaks down the barriers to achieving your wildest vision,” Sheridan told Variety. “A lot of times people dream up this story but it’s not possible to make because it would cost $200 million. AI can democratize VFX.”

Sheridan, who starred in Steven Spielberg’s “Ready Player One,” and Todorovic have lined...

Gillian Flynn’s new show Utopia has been in the works since roughly the time her 6-year-old daughter was conceived. The girl is affectionately known as “Kick” — after what she used to do in the womb while the author was working away on the TV series.

“She could go feral very quickly, and I say that with all affection,” the bestselling thriller writer-turned-showrunner tells Rolling Stone. “There’s an instinct to tame [children], I think, and I try to resist that. Girls especially need that particular skill set of fierceness — the willingness to push back.

Beck and NASA have teamed up on a visual album that transforms the singer’s Hyperspace into a journey through the cosmos.

Hyperspace: A.I. Experience pairs each track from Beck’s 2019 LP with space mission images curated by NASA’s artificial intelligence technology.

“The realization of these Hyperspaces was executed by A.I. architects and directors Osk, who asked ‘How would artificial intelligence imagine our universe?'” Beck and NASA said of the project. “In finding the answer, Osk created a unique A.I. utilizing computer vision, machine learning and...

It may feel as if Summer is pretty much canceled due to Covid-19, which gives thriller fans plenty of time to do what they do best: stay inside and read. Here, Rolling Stone has compiled six thrillers you could bring to the beach — or just binge in bed.

Riley Sager, Home Before Dark

A cross between Gillian Flynn’s Dark Places and ghost hunter heir Alexandra Holzer’s autobiography, Sager’s latest is a haunted house story — with a twist. When Maggie Holt’s father dies, leaving her Baneberry Hall,...

Cheryl Toma Sanders and her husband Robert Reed Sanders were shot and killed last weekend. Sanders is best-known for her stunt work on movies such as Thor, Back to the Future 2, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and many more. The shootout happened on the property of a million dollar home near Yellow Springs, Ohio. The property belongs to Sanders' ex-husband who allegedly fatally shot his former Hollywood stunt woman ex-wife and her current husband for trespassing. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

Cheryl and Robert Reed Sanders allegedly ambushed her ex-husband Lindsay Duncan on his property with their own guns. According to the police report, Duncan was able to avoid being shot and acted in self-defense when he killed Cheryl and Robert. The report has listed the incident as "justifiable homicide." It is believed that Chery and Lindsay had a pretty rocky relationship after their marriage fell apart in 2009 after 10 years together.

Also opening: ‘Just Mercy’, ‘Waves’, ‘A Hidden Life’.

Awards contender Bombshell goes up against franchise reboot Bad Boys For Life at the UK box office this weekend.

Released through Lionsgate, Bombshell tells the true story of several women at Fox News who exposed former CEO Roger Ailes for multiple cases of sexual harassment in 2016.

The film stars Charlize Theron as Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, with Nicole Kidman as fellow host Gretchen Carlson and Margot Robbie as a young producer at the network who is a composite of several people.

Directed by Jay Roach, Bombshell has garnered significant awards attention,...

Somewhere inside every album Beck has made since Mellow Gold — his 1994 surprise attack of slippery irony and hip-hop bravado — is the solo folk-blues singer caught on that year’s One Foot in the Grave, writing about despair with a surrealist edge while turned toward hope. That is the Beck who jumps out here in “Saw Lightning,” in looping spasms of acoustic, skidding Delta slide guitar.

Most of the song’s apocalypse comes in contemporary kicks. Beck sings of great fire and flooding, praying for rescue in a strident android’s...

Beck has released “Dark Places,” another track off his upcoming new album Hyperspace, along with a moody lyric video created by Eddie Obrand. The song follows “Uneventful Days” and “Hyperlife,” which the singer unveiled last month, and “Saw Lightening,” which was released in April.

Hyperspace, which drops November 22nd, features collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Coldplay’s Chris Martin (background vocals on “Stratosphere”), Sky Ferreira (“Die Waiting”) and producers Greg Kurstin and Paul Epworth. Beck originally intended to release an Ep from his sessions with Williams, who worked on seven of the album’s 11 tracks.

The Hollywood Film Awards announced today that Oscar-winning actress, producer, and activist Charlize Theron will receive the coveted “Hollywood Career Achievement Award” at the 23rd Annual “Hollywood Film Awards.” Considered a true artist, Theron has been known throughout her career to fully transform into the characters she portrays, impressing critics and audiences alike with her ability to honestly and authentically convey their stories with heart and integrity. She carries this same passion with her behind the camera and beyond, using her voice to speak for others, especially those in need in her home country of South Africa. As busy as ever, this year Theron returns to the screen for her starring role in the highly anticipated film “Bombshell” alongside Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie, where she plays real life journalist Megyn Kelly. The “Hollywood Film Awards,” hosted by actor and comedian Rob Riggle, will take place on Sunday, November 3, 2019 at...

While most of the toys in the Toy Story universe have been harmless, Toy Story 4 is returning to its Big Baby days with a sinister vintage doll named Gabby Gabby, voiced by none other than Christina Hendricks.

Hendricks began her career as a model for well over a decade. Before her big break, you may have recognized her on shows such as ER, Firefly, and Kevin Hill. But over the years, Hendricks's standout role definitely has been that of Joan Holloway on Mad Men. Her part as the formidable and omniscient '60s office manager on the AMC series garnered her a total of six Emmy nominations during her run between 2007 and 2015. Of course, her momentum on the small screen didn't end with Mad Men. Hendricks also recently appeared as Olivia Rogers on Amazon's The Romanoffs and currently stars as suburban mom-turned-criminal Beth Boland on NBC's Good Girls.

The American Cinematheque will present the 33rd American Cinematheque Award to Oscar-winner Charlize Theron (“Monster”) at the 2019 annual benefit gala on Friday, November 8, 2019 at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. Hollywood assembles at the Cinematheque Ball each year to celebrate the new honoree.

“Charlize Theron is making a significant contribution to the art of motion pictures while breaking through outmoded limitations on what an actress and producer can do,” stated American Cinematheque Chairman Rick Nicita. “It is obvious from her career that her immense talent cannot be categorized or confined.”

The South African actress has shown her range since she broke out early in “The Cider House Rules.” She transformed herself into a serial killer in Patty Jenkins’ “Monster” and earned another Oscar nomination for “North Country.” She demonstrated her physical prowess as Imperator Furiosa in George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” and in the title role in “Atomic Blonde.” She...
