Jena Malone in Adopting Audrey
Jena Malone is making breakfast when we talk: caramelised onions, scrambled eggs and mushrooms. It’s the start of the Glasgow Film Festival and she has a lot to get through, with two films screening there. One of them, Adopting Audrey, sees her play a listless young woman who forms an unexpected bond with a misanthropic man after deciding to explore the possibilities of adult adoption. In the other, Consecration, which is screening in the Frightfest strand, she’s cast as a woman with a troubled past investigating the death of her brother in a Scottish convent. They’re very different roles, and her ability to disappear into her characters is one of the reasons why she’s loved in the industry, even if it might make her a bit less visible to fans.

Exclusive: Jena Malone, Alejandro Edda, Tatanka Means and Michael Rooker are boarding the ensemble cast of Kevin Costner’s epic Western film saga Horizon at Warner Bros/New Line, Deadline has learned.
The foursome join an expanding roster that includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jamie Campbell Bower, Luke Wilson and Thomas Haden Church.
Two-time Oscar winner Costner will produce through his Territory Pictures, and direct and star in the period movie which he co-wrote with Jon Baird.
Horizon chronicles a multi-faceted 15-year span of pre- and post-Civil War expansion and settlement of the American West. Experienced through the eyes of many, the epic journey is fraught with peril and intrigue from the constant onslaught of natural elements, to the interactions with the indigenous peoples who lived on the land, and the determination and at many times ruthlessness of those who sought to settle it.

For as long as there has been independent cinema, there have been protagonists who aren’t quite ready for adulthood. From “Slacker” to “Frances Ha” to approximately 78 percent of rejected Sundance submissions in any given year, there’s a time honored tradition of filmmakers finding inspiration in those looking to squeeze a few more years out of their adolescence.
But with each passing film about an artsy type who can’t get their shit together, the pressure on the next filmmaker to justify the existence of their belated coming-of-age story increases. When your audience has seen these tropes as often as we have, you have to offer something more than “wow, turns out adulting is really hard!” Unfortunately, “Adopting Audrey” falls short of that standard.

Very few, if any, actors have sprinted out of the blocks like Jena Malone.
After debuting in a Michael Jackson music video, the Nevada native starred in directorial debuts for Anjelica Huston and Goldie Hawn, shared the screen with Jeff Bridges and Frances McDormand, played a young Jodie Foster, got caught between Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon, did a period piece with Glenn Close, got weird with Jake Gyllenhaal in a cult classic, played a ferry girl for Anthony Minghella, charmed an emo Hayden Christensen, snagged an ensemble part in a starry indie with Don Cheadle, Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, and tested the convictions of Emile Hirsch and Kieran Culkin.
And she did it all by her 18th birthday.

Jena has carved out a career for herself taking on interesting characters in interesting movies, seamlessly moving between different genres, styles and budgets. Her latest is an indie flick, where she takes on a starring – and producing – role, in Adopting Audrey. To mark the film’s release Stateside, in both theaters and on VOD/Digital, we had the pleasure in speaking to the actress, as she talks about her approach to the character, and taking a more stripped back, minimalist approach than she’s used to.
She also talks producing, she looks back over her career and on what’s to come, as we briefly touch upon Rebel Moon. She can’t say anything about her character, of course, but we do get an insight into the collaboration process with Zack Snyder, a filmmaker she’s worked with before.

A producer on Julia’s Murat’s Locarno competition player “Rule 34,” Brazil’s Tatiana Leite at Bubbles Project has unveiled a fulsome production slate which suggests a beginning of tentative film production renaissance in Brazil, driven by renewed state subsidy lines and the promise of regime change at October’s general elections.
According to Leite, one of Brazil’s most energetic international co-producers, Bubbles has currently three feature films in post-production and seven in development. The titles in post are:
*Horror film “A Herança” (“Birthright”), the feature debut of João Cândido Zacharias, in which Bubble teams as a majority producer with Sony Pictures International Production and Kromaki Filmes. It follows Thomas, a Brazilian young man who lives in Berlin with his boyfriend, and one day finds out that he’s the sole inheritor of a great-aunt.

Independent Entertainment have boarded M. Cahill’s “Porcupine” and will launch international sales at the Cannes Marche.
Vertical Entertainment have the North American rights and have set a summer 2022 release for the film, which was written and directed by Cahill.
Featuring Jena Malone (Hunger Games franchise) and Robert Hunger-Bühler (“Vacuum”), “Porcupine” is based on a true story about “a woman’s longing to belong.”
In the offbeat feature, Malone plays Audrey, a woman who is estranged from her family and struggles to hold down a job, having been fired seven times in two years. Afflicted by the unspoken pandemic of loneliness, she finds solace in going down YouTube rabbit holes. One day that changes when she stumbles across a video about adult adoption and decides to try it out for herself.

Midway through Porcupine, a character we’ve just met tosses aside an empty plastic bag during a backyard barbecue. From his perspective, it’s an insignificant gesture, done without a moment’s thought. For us, however, it’s one that reveals everything we need to know about the guy: his carelessness, his bluntness, his irritability. Porcupine feels most alive in tiny moments like these, which seem to contain entire lifetimes in the most casual of details — though its focus tends to blur when it comes to the bigger picture.

Serbian director Srdjan Dragojevic, best known for Thessaloniki awarded “Pretty Village, Pretty Flame” and Berlin prize-winner “The Parade,” is at the Locarno Film Festival with dark comedy “Heavens Above,” which is in the International Competition lineup. He speaks to Variety about the film, which has Pluto Film attached as its sales agency, and looks ahead to financing his adaptation of Julian Barnes’ novel “Porcupine.”
“Heavens Above” centers on Stojan, played by Goran Navojec, a simple-minded yet kindhearted man. When a freak accident puts a glowing halo above his head, he quickly becomes an object of veneration. His strong-willed wife Nada (played by Ksenia Marinkovic) isn’t amused by the attention her husband is attracting, so when a TV preacher suggests that sinful behavior will remove Stojan’s sainthood, Nada encourages him to commit as many bad deeds as possible.
“Heavens Above” follows Stojan’s family and an assortment of odd-ball characters across three decades,...

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Season 5 premiere of Fox’s “The Masked Singer.”)
Fox has been promoting the fifth season of “The Masked Singer” as the oddball competition’s “game-changing” installment. And after Wednesday’s premiere, it’s clear they really mean it.
On tonight’s hour, the five competitors in Group A — Russian Doll, Snail, Raccoon, Seashell and Porcupine — performed in front of the judges and guest host Niecy Nash for the first time.
Judges Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger all made their initial guesses about these costumed celebs’ identities, in hopes of winning the Golden Ear Trophy, which goes to the judge with the most correct “first impressions” come the end of the season.

Audrey Hepburn, the legendary actress and Unicef ambassador seemed to be born to be a star, first dazzling audiences in her Oscar-winning debut Roman Holiday, but there was something hidden beneath the surface of her ethereal visage. Director Helena Coan explores Hepburn’s eventful life in the new documentary Audrey, the first trailer for which has arrived today ahead of a December release.
Audrey conveys the life story of the movie star and survivor of Nazi occupation of Holland, which shaped her worldview to always strive to be kind to everyone regardless of social standing, race, and creed. The film traces her parents’ separation, her inability to become a ballet dancer, to the disintegration of both of her marriages, and much more.
The film includes interviews from many members of her family, including her son Sean Hepburn-Ferrer, her granddaughter Emma Ferrer, and with the artistic director of Givenchy, Clare Waight Keller,...
