Good news for families at Cannes who couldn’t score tickets to “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” or “Elemental”: Producer Thomas Negovan is bringing “Caligula” to Paris! “Caligula: The Ultimate Cut” will make its debut at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The entirely new edit, created from scratch using over 90 hours of original camera negatives and audio recorded on-location, will feature copious never-before-seen footage featuring Helen Mirren, Malcolm McDowell and Peter O’Toole.
This cut — running 157 minutes — will presumably hew closer to what the audience was supposed to see, and what the actors believed they were making, forty years ago.Negovan will work in partnership with Kirkendoll Management, LLC and will offer this new cut of what was back in 1980 the most expensive independent film in history. The $17.5 million flick, self-financed by Penthouse founder Bob Guccione, was intended to be a “new kind of film,” according to Guccione, combining art and sex.
Guccione took control of the project and junked the script, while attempting to create an edit that incorporated adult content shot after the mainstream actors completed filming their respective roles. Director Tinto Brass and writer Gore Vidal sued to have their names removed from the picture, while the composer and editor refused to take credit.
Variety called the picture a “moral holocaust,” while the late Roger Ebert disparaged the movie as “sickening, worthless trash.” However, it broke box office records and became synonymous with decadent spectacle, as the Guccione-driven edit became a kind of cinematic folk tale. Malcolm McDowell stated in a 2007 Penthouse interview that he was “proud of the work I did in ‘Caligula;’ there’s no question about

Tucked away at the tippy top of Cape Cod, Massachusetts is a beautiful spot where gayness, queerness, and all on the rainbow spectrum are celebrated. Gay people walk down the street hand in hand, queer shops are on every corner, and tea dances and full-production drag shows are daily occurrences.
Theo James has been asked ad nauseam about his prosthetic penis in “The White Lotus,” and Meghann Fahy is starting to feel left out. “Nobody ever asks me about my prosthetic,” she says with a laugh. When the two reunite over Zoom to discuss their roles, they’re perfectly in sync and often answer questions in unison, evoking their characters’ deliciously duplicitous cat-and- mouse relationship. In the second season of Mike White’s hit HBO drama, they star as cunning finance businessman Cameron and chipper stay-at-home-mom Daphne, who are vacationing with strait-laced couple Ethan and Harper (Will Sharpe and Aubrey Plaza, respectively). After engaging in the world’s most elaborate “Wife Swap” plot, they depart Sicily as loved-up as ever — and perhaps rubbing off on their friends.
CANNES – The past decade has been an Oscar boom for Cannes. The French institution has premiered a Best Picture winner in “Parasite” and landed nine nominees over that span including three alone this past January with “Elvis,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and Palme d’Or winner “Triangle of Sadness.” We’re not sure festival director Thierry Fremeux will land another Best Picture winner in 2024, but at least two Best Picture nominations seem very likely.
at the AmfAR Gala at Cannes in this pink little Givenchy number. The shocking magenta hue, the strappy black leather opera gloves, the cat eye; it's all giving Madonna meets Joan Jett in the best possible way.The dress has a very simple shape, layering a sheer magenta shift over a nude mini-dress, and ending in a short train. It has an intentionally unfinished look, which gives the impression that there was originally some sort of princess-style crinoline or overskirt that Halsey rebelliously ripped off before walking the carpet. The “Without Me” singer paired the Barbiecore-hued dress with a few distinctly punk rock details, including a pair of black leather gloves ending in a pair of long laces tied around the bicep.
Of all the trending hairstyles at the moment, the octopus cut is possibly one of the most daring, thanks to its short layers and extra volume on top.The layered, bedhead version of a bob gets its name from its sleek, long and voluminous top layers which sit at the crown of the head, and its lighter, finer ends which give it an octopus-like illusion. However, whilst the short version of the octopus cut may not be for the faint of heart, Kim Kardashian has just shown exactly how versatile it can be, as she shows off her new bouncy layers that play on the trend.
Lila Moss stunned as she strutted the runway in a lilac mini dress in Dua Lipa and Donatella Versace’s high summer fashion show in Cannes. Part of the ‘La Vacanza’ collection, the ‘Cady’ dress featured a crystal mesh band with the label's signature buckle detailing and the Medusa emblem inspired by Versace’s SS95 designs.
