Stephanie Reddick, the wife of the late John Wick actor Lance Reddick, has shared a message on social media following her husband’s death.
On Friday (17 March), it was announced that Reddick had died suddenly, of natural causes.
“Lance was taken from us far too soon,” wrote Stephanie, in a statement shared on her husband’s social media accounts. “Thank you for all your overwhelming love, support and beautiful stories shared on these platforms over the last day.
“I see your messages and can’t begin to express how grateful I am to have them.”
Reddick was best known for his role in The Wire, playing Baltimore police lieutenant Cedric Daniels, as well as series such as Fringe, Bosch and Oz.
He was also a celebrated video game actor, and was particularly championed for his role as Commander Zavala in the online shooter franchise Destiny.

Toni Collette has revealed that she asked intimacy co-ordinators to leave the set while staging sex scenes on camera.
Intimacy co-ordinators are people hired by productions to ensure the wellbeing and consent of actors filming sex scenes, and are now commonplace on TV and film sets.
The Hereditary star, whose latest project The Power is released later this month, claimed that the presence of intimacy co-ordinators on set had made her “anxious”.
“I think it’s only been a couple of times where they’ve been brought in, and I have very much trusted and felt at ease with the people I was working with,” Collette said, in an interview with The Times.
“It just felt like those people who were brought in to make me feel more at ease were actually making me feel more anxious. They weren’t helping, so I asked them to leave.”

There’s a scene in “Shadowlands,” the 1993 portrait of novelist C.S. Lewis, in which a young boy is excited to discover the giant wooden wardrobe that inspired “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” He throws open the door and reaches through the coats hoping to find Narnia … only to feel cold, hard wood at the back of the armoire. Disney wouldn’t dare undermine one of its franchises with such a scene, and yet, with “Christopher Robin,” it’s made a movie that feels similarly disenchanting — the latest and least of the studio’s live-action reboots of a widely adored cartoon.
Whereas “Winnie-the-Pooh” author A.A. Milne probably would have approved of the concept behind director Marc Forster’s well-meaning spinoff, it’s hard to imagine him being especially pleased with the result, in which an enchanted reunion between the now-adult title character (Ewan McGregor) and his stuffed bear helps...

When people aspire to succeed, it can sometimes result in quite incredible tales of fighting the odds to achieve victory. However, some stories of real-life achievement are not always as clear cut and blissful in their nature. And back in the mid-20s, when Winnie-the-Pooh was first released into a post-WW2 world, the story of its author A. A. Milne and its inspiration (his young son Christopher Robin Milne and his Teddy Edward) went a little lost, as the books and the character became some of the most cherished in all of children’s literature. In fact, I was not aware at all of the details of the story behind 100-Acre Wood and Winnie The Pooh and his friends but this new film from Simon Curtis (My Week with Marilyn) arrives to tell that very tale…and not everything is as sweet as honey that’s for sure.

Carter Burwell said about the score:
“One of the riskier decisions Simon Curtis and I made with the score was to withhold the main theme until the middle of the film, when A. A. Milne begins to write and his friend Ernest Shepard begins to illustrate “Winnie The Pooh”. We did this to make that moment especially noteworthy, to make it the turning point of the story.

In January 2017, fans of A.A. Milne celebrated the anniversary of his birthday which has become Winnie the Pooh Day. Biography.com posted a list about the British author earlier this year which you can see here.
In 2006, Winnie the Pooh received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, marking the 80th birthday of Milne’s creation.
Milne is most famous for his two Pooh books about a boy named Christopher Robin after his son, Christopher Robin Milne, and various characters inspired by his son’s stuffed animals, most notably the bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Christopher Robin Milne’s stuffed bear, originally named “Edward”, was renamed “Winnie-the-Pooh” after a Canadian black bear named Winnie (after Winnipeg), which was used as a military mascot in World War I, and left to London Zoo during the war. “The pooh” comes from a swan called “Pooh”. E. H. Shepard illustrated the original Pooh books,...

A.A. Milne’s beloved children’s creation Winnie the Pooh is celebrated every year on Jan. 18, Milne’s birthday.
The children’s icon got its start via a black bear named Winnie (apparently the former mascot of the Winnipeg regiment of the Canadian army, hence the name, according to the New York Public Library) living at the London Zoo during World War I. Milne’s coincidentally named son, Christopher Robin, visited the animal often and named his own stuffed bear after the real Winnie — and, oddly enough, a swan named Pooh.

It turns out that Queen Elizabeth isn't the only beloved icon to celebrate a 90th birthday this year. A.A. Milne's classic children's character Winnie-the-Pooh was also born in 1926 - and a brand-new tale is being released on Wednesday to mark the occasion. Winnie-the-Pooh and the Royal Birthday, an original illustrated and audio story narrated by Oscar winner Jim Broadbent, finds the kindly bear and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood - including Piglet, Eeyore and Christopher Robin - receiving a "Most Urgent" letter informing them of the Queen's big birthday.

After Domhnall Gleeson’s huge 2015 (Star Wars, Ex Machina, Brooklyn, The Revenant — this guy was everywhere, everywhere Oscar-nominated at least), and with several films on deck, he’s lining up another project. Gleeson is in talks to play A.A. Milne, the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh, in a biopic called Goodbye Christopher Robin. Deadline first reported the news. Look at Gleeson next to Milne. Good work, casting director! Photo credits: Universal Pictures; Library of Congress The film chronicles the relationship between the English author and his son, Christopher Robin, who inspired the character who counts a honey-loving teddy bear, Eeyore, Kanga and Roo, Piglet, Owl, Rabbit, and Tigger among his friends. As an adult, Christopher Robin Milne expressed unhappiness with his father’s use of his name in his stories and poems. My Week with Marilyn director Simon Curtis will helm the film. Goodbye Christopher Robin is a chance for Gleeson to...

There are certain works of art that are larger than even their creators ever intended, that ripple through culture for generations in ways that no one could have expected. I am relatively sure that when A.A. Milne wrote his two classic books about his son, Christopher Robin Milne, and the stuffed animals he played with while growing up, the author had no idea just how deeply those books would pierce generations of readers. There are two books by Benjamin Hoff that I fell in love with in college in which Hoff uses the Milne characters, particularly Winnie-The-Pooh, to examine the belief system Taoism. What sounds like a joke is actually fairly moving and profound, and not only does it do a bang-up job of explaining Taoism, it also points out just how beautiful and nuanced Milne's writing truly is. People love to pound on Disney because they are an intellectual property mill,...

Lawmakers in the town of Tuszyn, Poland have voted to ban Winnie the Pooh from representing a playground, due to the bear's lack of clear gender identity and a propensity for going pants-less. Officials at a council meeting claimed that Winnie the Pooh is of "dubious sexuality" and is "inappropriately dressed" to be around children, given that the bear is "half-naked." "The problem with that bear is it doesn't have a complete wardrobe," said council person Ryszard Cichy. "It is half-naked, which is wholly inappropriate for children." Another official said that Winnie the Pooh "doesn't wear underpants because it doesn't have a sex. It's a hermaphrodite." Councilperson Hanna Jachimska criticized Winnie-the-Pooh author A.A. Milne for having "cut [Pooh's] testicles off with a razor blade because he had a problem with his identity." It had not been decided which character would instead represent the playground.

Well that’s sweeter than honey. Disney Enterprises today had its trademark ownership rights to Winnie-the-Pooh reconfirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeal. In a 2-1 ruling (read it here), the Federal Circuit said the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office appeals board was correct to dismiss a challenge to Disney’s rights from publisher Stephen Slesinger Inc. “Accordingly, the Board correctly applied collateral estoppel to prevent Slesinger from asserting a claim that its 1983 grant of rights to Disney was a license as opposed to an assignment,” said judges Randall Ray Radar and Kathleen O’Malley of the Appeals Court in their majority opinion Friday. The Slesinger family has been arguing for more than 20 years that it is entitled to royalties from Disney’s Pooh merchandise, DVDs, movies and other related material. The roots of the case go back to 1930, when Pooh creator A.A. Milne gave Slesinger exclusive merchandising...

Though the fifth season of the revamped “Doctor Who” series recently aired its second episode in the U.K. the first episode won’t debut in the U.S. on BBC America until Saturday, April 17.
To help drum up interest in the show on this side of the pond, new lead actors Matt Smith and Karen Gillan, as the time-traveling Doctor and his Scottish assistant, and executive producer Steven Moffat took part in a Q&A session last night following an advance screening of the first episode at the Paley Center in New York City.
By this point of their publicity tour, it’s unlikely Moffat & Co have any new stories to share about experiences filming the 13-episode series, but the trio gamely pressed on, answering questions from fair-weather viewers who weren’t familiar with the series at all to uber-fans who just wanted...
