Lily Collins’ Emily Cooper will be living the dolce vita in Rome with her Italian beau Marcello in the much-anticipated fifth season of Netflix’s “Emily in Paris.” Or at least some of it. The new season of hit romantic comedy created by Darren Star will kick off production this May in Rome before moving to Paris later in the summer.

Slated to premiere later this year on Netflix, Season 5 is expected to give Emily (Lily Collins) an embarrassment of riches when it comes to her love life, bringing back her two one-and-off boyfriends, the sexy French chef, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and dashing Brit, Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), alongside her new Italian love interest, Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini).

While the production will be partly set in Rome, the key French cast will also return, notably Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu who plays Collins’ chic and nonchalant boss Sylvie Grateau, Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc...

Screenwriter Jimmy Warden won raves for Cocaine Bear, a wild romp that flipped traditional comedy horror tropes. The screenwriter hopes to ride similar creative highs in his directorial debut, Borderline, a twisted dark comedy thriller that gets lost in its own zany maze. Still, Warden stays committed to the distinctly unique “out there” vibe of his new film, which stars Samara Weaving (Scream VI), Ray Nicholson (Smile 2), Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy), Jimmie Fails (Nickel Boys), and Alba Baptista (Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris).

The plot tracks a creepy and persistent stalker named Paul (Nicholson), who invades the home of 1990s pop superstar (Weaving) with delusions of marrying her, grand wedding and all. Toss in a stressed bodyguard (Dane), another deluded fan, and a gaggle of wedding guests forced to attend Paul’s "ceremony," and we have a fine set-up for this edgy comedy. But something is out of sync creatively here.

House of the Dragon star Freddie Fox has been cast as a villain in Doctor Who Season 2. The BBC has confirmed that Fox will be joining Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu when the show returns this spring.

Fox will be playing a horned "villain from another planet," according to a casting announcement, when he tangles with The 15th Doctor and his new companion Belinda, though other plot details are being held back for now. Alan Cumming and U.K. TV host Rylan Clark will be guest starring in Season 2 as well.

In "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" — the second movie in the Harry Potter film franchise — we first meet Lucius Malfoy, a rich and influential pureblood wizard played by Jason Isaacs. His first impression is, to put it lightly, not good. His son, Draco (Tom Felton), is Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe) nemesis at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and when Lucius and Draco see Harry before the two young boys start their second year at the wizarding academy, they're both incredibly rude to Harry and the entire Weasley family. Isaacs reprises his role as Lucius several times throughout the "Harry Potter" franchise ... so how does he feel about his role?

During an appearance on BBC's "The One Show," per Variety, Isaacs said that he has slightly weird memories of the filmmaking experience, but also cherishes the fact that the "Harry Potter" movies are so important to so many people.

Bravo is best known for his lead role in Netflix’s Emily in Paris. Since Season 1 he has played Gabriel, a chef and on-again, off-again love interest of the show’s titular character. The romantic dramedy was renewed for a fifth season following Season 4 Part 2, which dropped in September.

Bravo appeared in last season’s finale and is currently being courted to return for Season 5 of the tentpole show, which also stars Lily Collins as the titular Emily Cooper and Ashley Park as Emily’s best friend Mindy Chen. Deadline exclusively reported the news that Lucien Laviscount, another star in Emily’s love life, will return as a series regular next season.

The fantasy adventure series is in development with a major European broadcaster, according to the producers, and follows on the heels of Moonriver’s recent series “Nautilus,” inspired by Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea,” currently on Amazon Prime in the U.K., Stan in Australia and France 2 and awaiting rollout by AMC in the U.S. Federation is no stranger to Verne’s universe either, having previously adapted “Around the World in 80 Days” for Masterpiece PBS, BBC and the European Alliance.

Bidwell’s take on the story is...

Alba Baptista, Samson Kayo and Tharanya Tharan are set to star in “Voltron” for Amazon MGM Studios, alongside previously announced stars Sterling K. Brown, Daniel Quinn-Toye, Henry Cavill, Rita Ora, and John Kim, The Wrap has exclusively learned.

Rawson Marshall Thurber, who directed “Red Notice” for Netflix, will direct the “Voltron” film and wrote the script with Ellen Shanman based on the popular ’80s anime series. Plot details are being kept under wraps.

Thurber previously shared a video message with Voltron fans during VoltCon in which he said: “I want to make sure that we stay true to the heart and the spirit of Voltron. In this film, we’re going to be introducing an entirely new generation of pilots. We’ve reimagined Voltron for the live-action world, but we’re going to stay true to…those iconic elements that you love, that I love. And I’m so excited to share it with you.

French president Emmanuel Macron’s prayers have been answered.

“Emily in Paris” is returning to Paris for its fifth season, although it will also partly shoot in Rome, where the fourth season is set. Filming is due to begin in the first week of May next year with its usual key crew, ensuring the show will retain its French DNA, Variety has learned.

A third chic international destination for the Lily Collins-fronted hit Netflix show is also being explored, along the lines of Saint-Tropez or Megeve, which Collins’ character Emily Cooper visited in the second and fourth seasons, respectively. (Netflix declined to comment).

While French actor Lucas Bravo has been vocal in recent weeks about his frustration over his “Emily in Paris” character — the hot yet sulky French chef Gabriel — the actor is definitely on track to star in Season 5 as of now and his Michelin-rated restaurant will be...

Oscar-nominated screenwriter Jeff Pope (“Philomena”) and Xavier Marchand of “Nautilus” producer Moonriver TV are teaming up on “Castle of the Eagles,” a six-episode limited series based on the true story of Allied POWs who staged a daring prison break from a fortified Italian castle during World War II.

The duo will be presenting the project to an industry audience in Rome during the Mia Market, which runs Oct. 14 – 18.

Written by Pope and based on the book of the same name by Mark Felton, “Castle of the Eagles” is produced by Marchand for Moonriver and Pope for his production label Etta Pictures, which is part of ITV Studios. “Harry Potter” star Jason Isaacs, who played Cary Grant in the four-part ITV biopic “Archie” written by Pope, is attached in a lead role.

The series begins in 1943, with war raging across Europe and some two dozen Allied soldiers and officers imprisoned in Castello Vincigliata,...

The fourth season of Netflix’s mega-corny romance drama has arrived and with it, the returning trio of Lily Collins, Lucas Bravo, and a new third wheel. Emily in Paris keeps refueling the fans’ yearly dosage of love caffeine with the will-they-won’t-they status between the star-crossed lovers as wrong timing and misunderstandings keep getting in their way.

In the meantime, fans have kept their curiosity alive by conducting a deep dive into the real-life history of the actors. Despite the flaws in her on-screen romance, Lily Collins has found her endgame with Charlie McDowell, her husband. Bravo’s search, however, continues after a brief rumor about his possible fling in the past with a certain Avengers actor’s current wife.

Uncovering the Secret Behind Lucas Bravo and Alba Baptista

Not every love story is meant to be as elaborately tangled and messy as Emily in Paris.

Another season of “Emily in Paris” is finally here, and Season 4 is diving back into the complicated web of love triangles and fractured friendships.

If you need a quick refresher on all the drama, the Season 3 finale left off with Gabriel and Camille’s disastrous wedding, during which Camille — who is pregnant with Gabriel’s child — outed Gabriel and Emily’s longstanding feelings for one another — in front of Emily’s boyfriend, Alfie — and called off her relationship with Gabriel.

We’ll also be seeing more of Sylvie’s husband, Laurent G, as well as Mindy’s boyfriend, Nicolas, and her band, comprised of Etienne and her ex-situationship, Benoit.

For the full breakdown of all of the “Emily in Paris” cast and characters in Season 4 Part 1 — and where you might have seen them before — see below.

“I want people to hear my voice and just forget their troubles for five minutes,” says Marisa Abela as Amy Winehouse in the official trailer for Back to Black. After promising the film will show the love story behind one of the greatest albums of all times, the trailer ends with Abela as Amy saying, “I don’t write songs to be famous. I write songs ’cause I’ve got to make something good outta something bad.”

In addition to Marisa Abela (Industry), the cast includes Jack O’Connell (Ferrari), Eddie Marsan (Fair Play), and Lesley Manville (Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris). Sam Taylor-Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey) directs from a screenplay by Matt Greenhalgh.

Back to Black was made with the full cooperation of Amy Winehouse’s estate. Alison Owen, Debra Hayward, and Nicky Kentish-Barnes served as producers, with Sam Taylor-Johnson, Anna Marsh, Ron Halpern, and Joe Naftalin executive producing.

Focus Features’ Amy Winehouse biopic “Back to Black,” starring “Industry” actor Marisa Abela as the late music icon, will premiere in U.S. theaters on May 10, 2024.

According to the distributor, “‘Back to Black’ is a never-before-seen glimpse into Amy Winehouse’s early rise to fame and the release of her groundbreaking studio album, ‘Back to Black.’ Told from Amy’s perspective, the film is an unapologetic look at the woman behind the phenomenon and the relationship that inspired one of the most legendary albums of all time.”

Starring alongside Abela are Jack O’Connell (“Ferrari”), Eddie Marsan (“Fair Play”) and Lesley Manville (“Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris”). Alison Owen and Debra Hayward produce via Monumental, while...

Exclusive: Teton Ridge Entertainment has hired Jen Gorton as EVP Production and Development.

Gorton is part of the new team that’s being assembled by President Jillian Share for the new studio which focuses on projects that celebrate and amplify stories of the American West.

Share’s team also includes Brandon Mattingly and Christina Poray, who are VPs of Production and Development, and Madeleine Moore, Creative Executive.

Gorton will work with Share to oversee creative development and production of their film, television and new media slates.

Gorton was most recently EVP of Film Production at eOne, where she oversaw development and production as well as negotiated worldwide distribution deals for films including The Starling (to Netflix) starring Melissa McCarthy and directed by Ted Melfi, horror prequel Orphan: First Kill (Paramount) and the Academy Award-nominated Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (Focus Features). She also oversaw that company’s upcoming films Den of Thieves 2: Pantera,...

Lionsgate, which agreed to buy eOne last August, is cutting the production outfit’s already-depleted workforce by a single-digit percentage as the acquisition approaches its official close at the end of the month.

A personal familiar with the integration process confirmed the layoffs to Deadline but cast doubt on media reports earlier Friday estimating that 10% of staffers would be let go. Certain workers are expected to remain with Lionsgate during a brief transition period before departing, while others are exiting in the near term.

Before Lionsgate emerged from a pack of suitors with the winning bid, eOne had gone into play due to a strategy shift at Hasbro. The toymaker, which acquired the film and TV production entity for about $4 billion in 2019, has stepped back from Hollywood fare but retained eOne kids and family properties like Peppa Pig and My Little Pony.

The roster of titles moving to Lionsgate includes TV series like Yellowjackets,...

With enough passion and grit, powerful, personal stories made one-man-band style can stand up against the best work of top Hollywood talent with far greater budgets.

Warwick Thornton’s “The New Boy,” inspired by his own experiences of being packed off to a Christian boarding school in Australia as a youngster, was in development for 18 years, finally coming together when Cate Blanchett read the script and suggested taking it on through her company Dirty Films. After working with him to adapt the lead role into the character of a nun who fills in for a priest whose death has been kept secret, the project began to come together, with newcomer actor Aswan Reid as the titular boy who begins to work wonders.

It just won the top Camerimage Film Festival prize, the Golden Frog, beating out work by some of Hollywood’s most lauded directors and cinematographers.

Thornton’s background...

Not to sound like a stereotype, but I don't particularly get along with my mother-in-law. But the situation in the latest Netflix thriller, "Locked Up," is a great reminder that things could always be much, much worse. Despite little fanfare upon release and next to no promotion tied to it, "Locked In" has been consistently holding it down on the streamer's Top 10 list since it arrived on November 1. If you've not heard of the film, here's the official synopsis:

Katherine, a former Hollywood actor, wakes up in the hospital unable to move. She's been hit by a car and suffers from locked-in syndrome — her eyes are the only thing she's able to move. Through her nurse, Nicky, we find out what's led to Katherine's hospitalization. Katherine, communicating with her via letter board, blinks when Nicky reads the correct letter: She claims there's been a murder. Through flashbacks, we see snapshots...

Alba Baptista gained recognition through her role as Ava in the Netflix series Warrior Nun, which showcased her talent and garnered her a global fanbase. Baptista has appeared in various Portuguese films and TV shows, showcasing her acting skills and building her resume before transitioning to Hollywood. In addition to her role in Warrior Nun, Baptista has landed significant roles in English-language films such as Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, and has several upcoming projects, including the revival of Warrior Nun as a film trilogy.

In the wake of Alba Baptista and Chris Evans' marriage announcement, Marvel fans and celebrity news lovers alike are trying to piece together where they know Baptista from. Although the Portuguese actor may not have the same level of name recognition as her Avengers star husband, she has been in several popular movies and TV shows over the last few years. Before joining Hollywood productions,...

All eyes are on Alba Baptista.

Over the weekend, “Captain America” star Chris Evans tied the knot with the Portuguese actress in a secret ceremony in Cape Cod.

And while congratulations poured in for the happy couple, many had just one question on their lips.

Only a year later, she landed a role as the lead in a short film called “Miami”, for which she received awards.

Searchlight Pictures have released one of the most intriguing and visually stunning trailers of the year in the first full look at the sci-fi take on the Frankenstein principle, Poor Things. As one of the most unique-looking movies of the year, the movie from director Yorgos Lanthimos stars Emma Stone as Bella Baxter, a woman resurrected from the dead by a disfigured scientist (Willem Dafoe), who goes on a journey of the rediscovery of life, love and liberation. Check out the new trailer below.

Poor Things promises to be another glorious mish-mash of genres from the filmmaker behind the likes of the psychological family drama Dogtooth, the absurdist black comedy romantic drama The Lobster, and the slow-burning psychological thriller The Killing of a Sacred Deer. This time, Poor Things will combine sci-fi, romance, and comedy, crafting a beautiful cinematic monster that will no doubt boast another stellar performance from Emma Stone at its center.

Possible buyers for the eOne film and TV operation are thought to include Legendary and Lionsgate.

Nick Meyer is leaving his job as president of film at eOne when his contract ends next month, according to a report confirmed by a company source.

The move comes as Hasbro, which acquired the Canada-based international media operation at the start of 2020, explores the sale of the majority of eOne’s film and TV business. Possible buyers are believed to include Legendary and Lionsgate.

Meyer took on his current job in 2018, when eOne acquired the remaining stake in Sierra Pictures and its international sales operation Sierra/Affinity.

“Freud’s Last Session,” which stars Anthony Hopkins as Sigmund Freud and Matthew Goode as author C. S. Lewis, is in its final stages of filming in Ireland.

“Freud’s Last Session” is set on the eve of the Second World War, when at the end of his life, Freud (Hopkins) invites “The Chronicles of Narnia” author C.S. Lewis (Goode) to debate the existence of God. Interweaving past, present and fantasy, the film explores Freud’s unique relationship with his daughter Anna (Liv Lisa Fries), and Lewis’ unconventional relationship with his best friend’s mother.

Sony Pictures Classics last year snapped up all rights for North America, the Middle East, Turkey, India, Eastern Europe (excluding Cis), Asia and Latin America and worldwide airlines.

Body Double (Brian De Palma)

When rewatching Body Double for the third time, its most striking element was, as on my first viewing, Craig Wasson’s performance. As central character Jake Scully, Wasson turns his conventionally attractive looks into an endlessly fascinating nebbishness and awkwardness. In an early scene, Jake simply walks to his car and jumps in the driver’s seat, yet Wasson manages to turn this casual action into one of the most amusing instances of purposefully bad acting. This unquestionably intended ridiculousness in fact informs an audience of the approach required by the entire film: just as it is difficult to take this ludicrous failed actor and naïve man seriously, Body Double itself is better enjoyed with a grain of salt.

The 2023 Oscars hit almost all the right notes, with Jimmy Kimmel doing a terrific job of hosting, starting with a monologue that acknowledged last year’s slap heard around the world. Kimmel used his opening bit to point out there are 16 first-time acting nominees, including two from Encino Man – Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan.

Kimmel poked fun at Babylon for being a bust at the box office and noted Batgirl is the first superhero to be defeated by an accounting department. He also confirmed James Cameron declined his invitation, joking that you know a show is too long when even Cameron can’t sit through it.

“Some of the critics are saying Jim Cameron isn’t here because he didn’t get a ‘Best Director’ nomination. And, well, I find that very hard to believe about a man of such deep humility. He does have a point. I mean,...

SEEOscar nominee profile: The Daniels (‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’) would be 3rd duo to win for directing

The outlandish sci-fi family film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” entered these awards with the most nominations. It picked up 11 bids including Best Picture, Best Director (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), and Best Actress (Michelle Yeoh). And it has been a good season for the film overall.

It took the Critics Choice Award...

Ruth E. Carter has become the first Black woman to win two Oscars.

Carter, who in 2019 became the first Black person to win the Oscar for costume design for her work on Marvel’s “Black Panther,” was recognized for the film’s sequel, “Wakanda Forever.” In her speech, she thanked director Ryan Coogler and asked late “Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman to look after her own mother, who recently died at 101.

“Nice to see you again,” Carter said as she took the stage. “Thank you to the Academy for recognizing the superhero that is a Black woman. She endure, she loves, she overcomes, she is every woman in this film. She is my mother. This past week, Mable Carter became an ancestor. This film prepared me for this moment. Chadwick, please take care of Mom. Ryan Coogler, Nate Moore, thank you both for your vision. Together, we are reshaping how culture is represented.

“Emily in Paris” star Lucas Bravo is thankful to George Clooney and Julia Roberts, who starred with him in hit 2022 romcom “Ticket to Paradise.”

The dashing French star, who is also known for “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris,” was speaking at a press meet for the 16th Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong, where he is a presenter.

“George and Julia happen to be the most generous, kind and protective people I’ve ever worked with — they go out of their way to make the set a safe place,” Bravo said. “They gave me an opportunity to improvise, they made me feel loved and accepted. And I’ve learned with them that the bigger the star, the nicer the person, so it gives me a lot of fuel for the rest of my career.”

Bravo also revealed his admiration for Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, stemming from the time he...

The films in contention for the 2023 Best Costume Design Oscar are “Babylon,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Elvis,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.” Our current odds show “Elvis” (10/3) to be the frontrunner, followed in order by “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” (37/10), “Babylon” (9/2), “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (9/2), and “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris” (9/2).

Jenny Beavan’s nomination for “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris” is her 12th and could result in her fourth win, as she previously bagged trophies for “A Room with a View” (1987), “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2016), and “Cruella” (2022). She would be only the fifth costumer to achieve as many victories, after Edith Head, Irene Sharaff, Milena Canonero, and Colleen Atwood. Her other eight bids came for “The Bostonians” (1985), “Maurice” (1988), “Howards End” (1993), “The Remains of the Day” (1994), “Sense and Sensibility” (1996), “Anna and the King” (2000), “Gosford Park” (2002), and “The King’s Speech” (2011).
