Exclusive: Here are a couple of exclusive images of Inglourious Basterds star Diane Kruger in buzzy Paramount+ series Little Disasters.

Cannes Award-winning actor Kruger plays Jess in the adaptation of the Sarah Vaughan novel. When she takes her baby daughter to hospital with a head injury that she can’t explain, her close friend and on-duty A&e doctor Liz must make the excruciating decision of whether to call social services on her longtime friend. This decision sets in motion a chain of events that show how one moment can fracture and nearly destroy entire families and friendships. The show also stars Jo Joyner, Patrick Baladi (Ted Lasso), Shelley Conn, Emily Taaffe, JJ Feild, Ben Bailey Smith and Stephen Campbell Moore.

Kruger has had far more movie roles than TV but she did play Detective Sonya Cross in FX’s version of The Bridge last decade. The German actor, who broke out in 2004’s epic war film Troy, was described as an “intelligent and dynamic actress, whose sheer presence brings with it a unique quality that leaves you inspired” by Little Disasters director Eva Sigurdardottir.

“Attaching Diane allowed me to explore sides of Jess’ character in deeper ways than I had anticipated,” she added. “Little Disasters is a story of a warm and loving mother who is hiding a dark secret, and Diane navigated that character so elegantly, with relatable and warm performances, as well as truly haunting and thrilling moments.”

That relatability attracted Sigurdardottir to Little Disasters, she told us, along with a “tension and thriller engine rooted in very relatable and familiar domestic settings.”

“I am a filmmaker who is drawn to brutally real and gritty stories, and here we had a glamorous and aspirational setting, yet with a terrifying central conflict – a hurt child,” she added.

Marianna Abbotts is exec producing for Big Boys producer Roughcut TV, which has recently moved into drama. She said she “fell in love with” Vaughan’s novels after reading Anatomy of a Scandal. “Sarah often writes about professional women who are forced to make impossible decisions. At the heart of Little Disasters is a really difficult moral dilemma when one friend is forced to call social services on another,” she added.

To aid with tackling these sensitive topics, the Roughcut team worked closely with Vaughan along with multiple advisors. “We wanted to portray the issues in the book accurately and it was extremely important to get that right,” said Abbotts. “We consulted medical, police and social service advisers who guided us with accuracy and sensitivity while understanding the need to tell a dramatic story.”

Little Disasters is a six-part series for Paramount+ UK and Ireland. Ruth Fowler and Amanda Duke adapted the series for the screen with Roughcut Television EPs Ash Atalla, Alex Smith and Abbotts on board alongside Vaughan. Simon Judd EPs for Fremantle, Sigurdardottir is the director and Myf Hopkins serves as the producer. The series was commissioned by Sebastian Cardwell and Paul Testar and will premiere next year. Fremantle is handling global sales.

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...

Lynne Ramsay, an award-winning director, is making a strong return to feature filmmaking with “Die, My Love. ” It is a psychological thriller that examines the tough sides of marriage, motherhood, and mental health.

Jennifer Lawrence plays a new mother who is dealing with bipolar disorder and postpartum depression, and she’s the star of the show. The movie, based on Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 book of the same name, moves the story from a French village to the vast Montana farmland, giving it a very American feel.

The movie has an impressive ensemble cast and is produced by the famous director Martin Scorsese. Lakeith Stanfield plays Lawrence’s boyfriend, and Robert Pattinson plays her husband. Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek, both of whom won Oscars, round out the supporting group.

Ramsay, known for telling honest stories in movies like “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” brings her usual passion to the job.

Jennifer Lawrence returns to her darker roots for “Die, My Love,” Lynne Ramsay’s first film in seven years. Check out a first-look image above.

The thriller is based on Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel, which centers on a woman (Lawrence) ravaged at the crossroads between love and madness.

Robert Pattinson plays Lawrence’s onscreen husband, with Lakeith Stanfield cast as her lover. Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte also co-star.

Ramsay returns to directing for her first feature since 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here.” Ramsay previously teased “Die, My Love” during the 2023 Sarajevo Film Festival, emphasizing the movie’s divergences from the novel. In contrast, the book was about a woman in a secluded French village who grapples with extreme mental health problems after giving birth. Ramsay has taken liberties with source material before, with “You Were Never Really Here” adapted from a Jonathan Ames novella and “We Need to Talk About Kevin...

Exclusive: Deadline has the first still from Die, My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson and Lakeith Stanfield, the new thriller from renowned Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here), which adapts the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz.

Set in rural America, Die, My Love is a portrait of a woman (Lawrence) engulfed by love and madness. Pattinson plays her husband, and Stanfield, her lover. Also in the cast are Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte.

Ramsay directed from her script written with Enda Walsh. Producers included Justine Ciarrocchi and Lawrence on behalf of Excellent Cadaver, as well as Martin Scorsese, Andrea Calderwood, and Black Label Media, which also served as the project’s financier.

In a statement accompanying the photo reveal, Excellent Cadaver told Deadline, “It’s impossible to convey what it’s like to witness Lynne Ramsay make art. She’s one of one.”

The Girls creator is on board to write a film adapting author Michael Lewis’ best-selling 2023 book Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon. Apple Studios and A24 are producing and developing the movie that is in early development.

Bankman-Fried founded Ftx in 2019, and the cryptocurrency exchange enjoyed a rise to prominence that included the company’s commercial running during the 2022 Super Bowl. Ftx boasted endorsements from such celebrities as Tom Brady, Stephen Curry and Larry David.

In March, the disgraced crypto entrepreneur was sentenced to 25 years in prison and forced to forfeit over $11 billion following his conviction on charges of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. Bankman-Fried is appealing the conviction and sentence.

Dunham recently wrapped production on the Netflix romantic-comedy series Too Much, which she wrote and directed. She co-stars in the show alongside Megan Stalter,...
