There’s no one-size-fits-all way to being a parent and everyone will have their own opinions on the best way to raise a kid.

The Coral have shared their cinematic string-laden new single ‘Wild Bird’ – and spoken to NME about how Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy and Life On Mars lead actor John Simm hooked up with the band for not one, but two albums in 2023.Inspired by the dusty desert landscapes of ’60s Italian spaghetti westerns, the band’s 11th studio album ‘Sea Of Mirrors’ finds the Liverpool five-piece crafting their own “surreal” gun-slinging soundtrack.“I was watching this documentary about Italian westerns and I liked this idea that they were a vehicle for creativity,” frontman James Skelly told NME. “I thought I’d love to use that medium to make an almost surreal western, but as if [late Italian director Frederico] Fellini had directed it.

Interstellar is no longer Christopher Nolan‘s longest film.According to the director himself – via a new interview with Total Film – his upcoming film Oppenheimer will be his longest movie to date, running longer than Interstellar‘s duration of two hours and 49 minutes.While he has yet to reveal the exact time of Oppenheimer‘s runtime, Nolan shared that it’s “kissing three hours”. “It’s slightly longer than the longest we’ve done,” Nolan said.Elsewhere in the interview, Nolan spoke of the movie’s complicated lead character, saying he’s “drawn to interesting protagonists – protagonists who have ambiguity to them.

If you have been wondering why the trailers for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” feature color and black-and-white footage, join the club. While audiences can recognize this as an artistic choice Nolan has made before, it was hard to say what Nolan would be doing with color in his latest release.

dedicated moviegoers aiming to watch both it and Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” on July 21, when both films will be released, are in for a very long day. “It’s slightly longer than the longest we’ve done,” Nolan told Total Film Magazine in an issue that will be released next week. “It’s kissing three hours.” Prior to “Oppenheimer,” Nolan’s longest in a lengthy list of long films was “Interstellar” at two hours, 49 minutes.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Christopher Nolan has finally weighed in on the “Oppenheimer” runtime, confirming to Total Film magazine that it is his longest movie to date. The director’s confirmation means “Oppenheimer” at least runs longer than 2 hours and 49 minutes. That was the runtime on “Interstellar,” the director’s longest movie until “Oppenheimer.” Previous reports pegged the “Oppenheimer” runtime at three hours, which Nolan said is almost true. “It’s slightly longer than the longest we’ve done,” Nolan said. “It’s kissing three hours.” “Oppenheimer” stars Nolan’s frequent collaborator Cillian Murphy as theoretical physicist and “father of the atomic bomb” J. Robert Oppenheimer. The film tracks Oppenheimer as he launches the Manhattan Project and oversees the creation of the atom bomb.

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Claude Lelouch, the Oscar-winning director of “A Man and a Woman,” is getting ready to direct “Finalement…,” his next film which he says will be a sort of sequel to his BAFTA-nominated film “Happy New Year” and “L’aventure, l’aventure.” The lighthearted movie will reteam Lelouch with Metropolitan FilmExport which is co-producing with Lelouch’s banner Les Films 13, and will distribute in France. Scored by popular French singer Ibrahim Maalouf, “Finalement…” will boast a large ensemble cast of French stars, including Kad Merad (“Baron Noir”), Elsa Zylberstein (“Simone”), Sandrine Bonnaire, Raphael Mezrahi, Michel Boujenah and Barbara Pravi.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Christopher Nolan revealed to Entertainment Weekly that he cast real scientists as extras in “Oppenheimer,” a historical drama about theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the Manhattan Project and the creation of the atomic bomb. The cast is full of stars such as Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and Florence Pugh, but Nolan made sure to bring in actual scientists for certain scenes to maintain the film’s authenticity. “We were in the real Los Alamos and we had a lot of real scientists as extras,” Nolan said. “We needed the crowd of extras to give reactions, and improvise, and we were getting sort of impromptu, very educated speeches. It was really fun to listen to.”

Peaky Blinders and Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy has said he finds being photographed “offensive”.In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the actor opened up about the cost of fame.“You can be walking down the street and someone takes a picture like this is a fucking event,” he said.“I don’t like being photographed by people. I find that offensive. If I was a woman, and it was a man photographing me…” he added.Murphy went on to compare fame to commuting, saying: “You have to commute to get to your destination.“I think that’s the way the best people are: they’re not doing it for any other reason but love of the craft.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director By the time Cillian Murphy brought war veteran and gangster Tommy Shelby to life on “Peaky Blinders,” he had already starred in at least one horror classic (“28 Days Later”), a Cannes winner (“The Wind That Shakes the Barley”) and four Christopher Nolan blockbusters (including key supporting roles in “Batman Begins” and “Inception”). And yet, it was Shelby and the British gangster drama that ran for 6 seasons and 36 episodes that turned Murphy into an international star, the kind that gets recognized everywhere he goes. During a recent interview with Rolling Stone U.K., Murphy lamented over the explosive fame that “Peaky Blinders” ignited. The actor said such fame “can ruin experiences, because it fetishizes everything: you can be walking down the street and someone takes a picture like this is a fucking event. It kind of destroys nuance and human behavior, but that’s part and parcel of it. Fame evaporates with regularity.”

Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy for a spin-off film in the John Wick universe.The fourth instalment of the action movie was released back in March, and despite the shocking ending, Stahleski is scouting his next cast for a fifth movie.The John Wick franchise is also expanding with two spin-off projects underway.

In addition, the prequel show The Continental recently shared the trailer for the three-event series ahead of its September 2023 release.In an interview with The Direct, Stahleski revealed some of the actors he is interested in collaborating with.

Cillian Murphy and Christopher Nolan reunited again for Oppenheimer and the duo is recalling their previous collaboration in Batman Begins.

Christopher Nolan has reflected on his decision not to cast Cillian Murphy as Batman in The Dark Knight trilogy.The director and actor — who have collaborated once again for the upcoming biopic Oppenheimer — recently discussed their long-time film partnership with Entertainment Weekly.Coming onto the subject of Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, Murphy admitted that he knew he wasn’t right for the part of Bruce Wayne/Batman, a role that ultimately went to Christian Bale.“It was clear to me from the beginning that I wasn’t Batman material,” said Murphy of screen testing for the role. “It felt to me that it was correct and right that it should be Christian Bale for that part.

Last year, after six acclaimed seasons, Steven Knight’s “Peaky Blinders” came to an end. But shortly after the end of the show’s run, Knight started talking about the possibility of a follow-up film.

It’s hard to imagine that we are nearly 20 years removed from the release of Christopher Nolan’s “Batman Begins,” and what would become the start of one of the most famous film trilogies of all time. And other than Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne, there are few characters who actually made it through all three films.
