Mary & George, an upcoming queer period drama, has just released the first-look images of Julianne Moore in character. In this dramatic retelling of real-life British history, the actress plays Mary Villiers, a ruthless woman who used multiple avenues to rise to the height of English society — including bribing politicians and working with criminals.
But what this drama is really focused on is how he pushed her son George to become the lover of King James I (of England, aka James VI of Scotland), which led to him becoming the Duke of Buckingham, holding considerable power in court and leading some disastrous foreign campaigns. Related: Sharper review: Julianne Moore and Sebastian Stan's con-artist tale feels a little too blunt Nicholas Galitzine (Handsome Devil and Red, White and Royal Blue) plays George, with Tony Curran (Doctor Who's Vincent Van Gogh) as James I.
Rounding out the cast are Mark O'Halloran (Brassic) as Sir Francis Bacon, Nicola Walker (The Split, Marriage) and Adrian Rawlins (Harry Potter's James Potter) as husband-and-wife Mary Hatton and Sir Edward Cooke, Trine Dyrholm (Queen of Hearts) as Queen Anne and Simon Russell Beale (Thor: Love and Thunder) as George's father, Sir George Villiers. Meanwhile, playwright and Killing Eve scribe DC Moore has penned the script from Benjamin Woolley's book The King's Assassin.
Galitzine has another big project in the pipeline, starring opposite Anne Hathaway in a role inspired by Harry Styles in the movie The Idea of You. The plot focuses on a divorced mother who gets over her husband leaving her for a younger woman by starting a whirlwind romance with a boyband member.

Wanda Sykes began working on “I’m an Entertainer,” her latest Netflix stand-up special, in 2019, hardly any of the material she wrote prior to March 2020 made it into the show. Instead, it was the radioactive events of the pandemic era — from COVID vaccinations to the Jan. 6 insurrection, the battle over trans rights to the murders of Black Americans like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and Elijah McClain — that Sykes was drawn to. Those deaths and the racial reckoning that followed were not obvious fodder for making people laugh. “All that stuff just kept piling on,” Sykes says, her voice softer and more tentative than the tart Southern twang she deploys on stage. “I knew I wanted to talk about it, but I just didn’t know how to make it funny. We were all just so angry.”

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Todd Haynes is the latest auteur to use Cannes as a launching pad for a potential Oscar contender, debuting his delicious dramedy “May December” at the festival on Saturday. Premiering less than one hour after Martin Scorsese’s 202-minute “Killers of the Flower Moon” conquered Cannes, the torrential downpour on Saturday night couldn’t keep many patrons away from taking in the Haynes movie. And not just because the movie reunites the director with his muse Julianne Moore, who he worked wonders with on “Safe” (1995) and “Far from Heaven” (2002), the latter which earned an Oscar nomination for Moore’s performance and one for Haynes’ script.
May December, Todd Haynes’ film that received an eight-minute standing ovation at Cannes late on Saturday evening, is a film all about transgression, Julianne Moore told the press on Sunday.
Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer Todd Haynes brought delicious psychodrama to the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, with the world premiere of his “May December” starring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore. Captivating the Cannes crowd the film earned a 6-minute standing ovation at the festival’s Grand Palais. “May December” stars Natalie Portman as Elizabeth, an actor who heads to Savannah to study the lives of Gracie (Moore) and Joe (“Riverdale” star Charles Melton). Years prior, Gracie and Joe’s scandalous cross-generational affair sparked a national controversy due to their age gap and the fact that Gracie was Joe’s boss at a local pet store. Twenty years later, Elizabeth is playing Gracie in a film version of the scandal, but her arrival puts a disruptive pressure on Gracie and Joe’s marriage.
Todd Haynes has a way with female stars. I would even call him the new-age George Cukor in that regard. Whether in Carol with Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, or his HBOlimited series Mildred Pierce with Kate Winslet, or his homage to the director of so many so-called “women’s pictures” of the ’50s Douglas Sirk in Far From Heaven with Julianne Moore, he seems to be in his comfort zone with women. That has never been more apparent than his latest, May December, a deliciously entertaining showcase for Natalie Portman and Moore (her and Haynes’ fourth film together), which just had its world premiere Saturday in competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
