William Earl administrator Barnaby Clay is a true Renaissance man. Having directed short films (“Carousel” with Chloë Sevigny, “Sickdog” with Natasha Lyonne), music videos for artists ranging from David Bowie to Rihanna, a feature-length documentary on photographer Mick Rock, and even launched a visual art installation with Danger Mouse and his wife, Yeah Yeah Yeahs rocker Karen O, he is no stranger to expanding his creativity into different mediums. Yet his newest frontier is feature-length narrative filmmaking, and his debut, the horror film “The Seeding,” expands on the striking imagery of his past work.

Elemental director Peter Sohn received an Oscar nomination on Tuesday morning for Best Animated Feature. Even with a story that’s very personal to him, Sohn’s first thoughts go towards his entire crew. “I think about all the work and passion and love that they put into the film, and it fills me up in a way that is very emotional.”

William Earl administrator Lana Wilson‘s new documentary “Look Into My Eyes” casts a sympathetic view of an oft-mocked part of society: psychics and the clients who trust them. The feature debuted at the Sundance Film Festival on Monday at the Egyptian Theater in Park City, and was followed by a Q&A with Wilson, producer Kyle Martin, editor Hannah Buck and four of the featured psychics.

The inaugural version of the festival, set to take place in Columbus, Ohio from June 1-2, will also feature performances from Bret Michaels and country artists LOCASH and Niko Moon. In a statement, Brown revealed his excitement for the event.

A Different Man tackles weighty themes of disability, identity, and transformation. Directed and written by Aaron Schimberg and starring Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve, and Adam Pearson, what emerges is a complex portrayal of the clashes between outer perceptions and inner truths and makes valiant efforts towards inclusion to express a vital message about appearance and identity, but the execution can often feel tonally inconsistent, and overlong.Edward (Stan) is an aspiring actor with facial deformities (neurofibromatosis, to be exact), that subjects him to ridicule and isolation. Though self-conscious and lonely, Edward finds hope when he befriends Ingrid (Reinsve), his empathetic, playwright, next door neighbor. When presented with the possibility of normalcy through a risky reconstructive procedure, Edward pursues the chance to lead a life free from judgment and staring eyes. 

William Earl administrator “A Different Man,” a chilling story of identity and obsession with a dark sense of humor, debuted at Sundance with a well-received Sunday evening premiere at the Eccles Center. The A24 film stars Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve and Adam Pearson in a tale of an actor who has facial reconstruction surgery and must come to terms with the fact that a theater role based on his life is given to another actor. During the screening, the Sundance audience was rapt with attention at the twisty script, which included a strange and kinky sex scene that left people squirming in their seats, as well as some realistic gore that earned yelps from the audience.

William Earl administrator SPOILER ALERT: This article discusses plot twists in the new movie “I.S.S.“ “I.S.S.” is a thriller set in outer space, but the creative team was filled with pioneers in their own right. “Blackfish” director Gabriela Cowperthwaite helmed the project, with Oscar winner Ariana DeBose suiting up for the lead role — both creatives playing in a new genre for the first time. The result is a fleet, pulpy film in which three American and three Russian astronauts are living and working together on an international space station.

William Earl administrator “Now this motherfucker can play guitar!” a wobbly, dancing Millennial shouted deep into the Black Keys‘ Friday night show in Park City, drunk off their grimy rock and plenty of beer. It turns out the man was a perfect summation of a crowd full of too-cool Sundance attendees letting their hair down, moving and drinking like it was a basement party, and the Keys had the right sound to let loose.

William Earl administrator The second season finale of “Reacher” just dropped on Prime Video, but fans are already looking ahead to more adventures from the giant hobo with a heart of gold. The good news: “Reacher” has already been renewed for a third season, although the creative team has been mum about which of Lee Child’s novels will be adapted next. While chatting with Variety earlier in the season, series star Alan Ritchson spoke about the show’s biggest challenge: Because Reacher is a wanderer, his adventures rarely include the same characters.

In the space of just two movies, Jane Schoenbrun has established a completely unique aesthetic; from the opening credits alone, a riot of black light and neon pastels, it’s obvious that I Saw the TV Glow comes from the same mind that created the trippy 2021 cult hit We’re All Going to the World’s Fair. Anyone puzzled by the latter is advised to stay clear, since the follow-up is more vertiginously dizzying and twice as impressionistic, causing lots of head-scratching at its Sundance premiere. For those ready and willing to embrace its commitment to mood over logic, I Saw the TV Glow is a must-see, pairing the otherworldly ambience of Kyle Edward Ball’s Skinamarink with the morbid surrealism of Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York. (If you know, you know.)

Guy Lodge Film Critic Pretty much anyone who grew up watching television has a vivid memory of that one show that, for a time at least, wouldn’t let go of their young imaginations — characters observed and fretted over like close friends, haunting images captured and embellished over time in the mind, cliffhanger endings that hit like harsh personal betrayals. A show doesn’t have to be especially good to resonate like this, provided it finds its viewers at the right place and time; eventually, most of us move on, that hard cultural grip giving away to the forgiving affection of nostalgia.

Katherine Heigl recreated a key scene from her 2008 movie “27 Dresses” at a 2024 Emmys after-party in LA on Monday night.Heigl, 45, who attended the ceremony as part of a “Grey’s Anatomy” reunion, took center stage in her long Reem Acre red gown at the after-party by swinging her hips and dancing solo to Elton John’s 1974 hit song “Bennie and the Jets.”In “27 Dresses,” in which she co-starred opposite James Marsden, Heigl’s character, Jane, and Marsden’s Kevin bond over their love for “Bennie and the Jets.” They then get up on a bar and sing along to the tune — leading the crowd in a jumbled sing-along (Jane is barefoot) and ending the iconic scene by kissing each other.Earlier in the scene, Jane and Kevin totally mix up the song’s lyrics — Jane says “She’s got electric boobs” instead of “She’s got electric boots” — adding to the couple’s joy in their barroom.Heigl’s dance Monday night at the Emmys after-party was posted on Instagram by the party’s DJ, Benjamin Walker, who added: “I love a good rom-com so when I saw @katherineheigl, I knew IMMEDIATELY there was one song to end the night and one song only … #IYKYK #27dresses.”“27 Dresses,” which also co-starred Malin Akerman, Edward Burns and Judy Greer, was directed by Anne Fletcher and revolved around Jane, who’s “always the bridesmaid, never a bride” and has been in 27 weddings wearing different dresses.Eventually she falls in love with Kevin after he writes an article about her experience as a professional bridesmaid.The movie’s main characters reunited for an Entertainment Weekly photo shoot in 2019, and said they would be interested in doing a sequel, should the opportunity arise.“I want to do a sequel,” Heigl said at the time.

William Earl administrator Growing up in an Indigenous Aboriginal family in Australia, nothing was scarier to horror director Jon Bell than the government. He recalls the “Stolen Generations,” a tragedy that Americans likely know little about. “The government would take light-skinned kids — or just any kids they could get their hands on — and rehouse them,” he said.

Steeped in what its audience might deem mature mythology, “The Pink Opaque,” a fantasy show aimed at teen audiences, comes on at 10:30 PM on the Young Adult Network every Saturday. Unfortunately for Owen (first played by Ian Foreman), a meek mixed-race middle school boy growing up in the 1990s, that’s past his strict bedtime.

William Earl administrator Johnny Depp is back in the directors chair — complete with his big signature hats — for the first time in decades. Depp is seen directing the cast of the film “Modi” in first look photos that were released from the set. Al Pacino plays a supporting role as real-life French art collector Maurice Gangnat.
