Josip Juranovic and the unseen Rangers challenge that could have seen Alexandro Bernabei replace Celtic star

Welcome to Deadline’s International Disruptors, a feature where we’ll shine a spotlight on key executives and companies outside of the U.S. shaking up the offshore marketplace. This week, we’re talking with German indie producer Sol Bondy of One Two Films. Bondy, whose credits include Angry Indian Goddesses and The Tale, most recently produced Iranian crime thriller Holy Spider which is Denmark’s submission to the 2023 Academy Awards and he tells us how challenging it was to get this impactful project off the ground. 

The Directors Guild of America has nominated Tár‘s Todd Field, Top Gun: Maverick‘s Joseph Kosinski, Everything Everywhere All at Once‘s Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert, The Banshees of Inisherin‘s Martin McDonagh and The Fabelmans’ Steven Spielberg for the top feature film prize at its 75th annual DGA Awards.

The last time Mexican filmmakers Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo del Toro, and Alejandro G. Iñárritu released three new movies in the space of the same year was 2006. By then, their reputations at home had been established by early successes like Y tu mamá también (Cuarón), The Devil’s Backbone (del Toro) and Amores Perros (Iñárritu) and they had each worked in the U.S., with del Toro and Cuarón stepping into blockbuster cinema with Hellboy and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban respectively, and Iñárritu directing Sean Penn and Naomi Watts to Oscar nominations with 21 Grams.

No beef. Austin Butler only has love for Jacob Elordi, who will be the next actor to play Elvis Presley on the big screen.

Every film is personal, said Steven Spielberg, “but The Fabelmans was like moving back in with my parents and my sisters. I would walk into the house that [production designer] Rick Carter designed, exactly the spitting image of the house I grew up in in Phoenix, Arizona. Everything in my bedroom from those years wound up on the set. They say you can’t go home again. That’s wrong, I went home every single day.”

Mike Nichols was an absolutely legendary filmmaker, especially in terms of comedy. His reputation was so well-regarded, Nichols was actually the type of filmmaker that other established filmmakers would go to for advice.

Ex-Corrie actress Alexandra Mardell has left her former co-stars and fans 'crying' after revealing her latest job. The actress, who played Emma Brooker in the soap, has announced she's taken on a role with budget supermarket Aldi after her exit from the soap last year.

Police found a stash of “potentially dangerous items” including a “baseball bat” after members of the Rangers ultras group the Union Bears were given early access to Ibrox Stadium ahead of the Ne’erday derby.

A Rangers-daft schoolboy with Down’s syndrome ditched his wheelchair to lead his team out on to the Ibrox turf. Mason Gordon, 11, blew kisses to the crowd as he walked out of the tunnel with Gers captain James Tavernier last Wednesday. Proud mum Ruth, 49, believes Mason is the first club mascot with the condition, and admitted it was an “emotional moment” when the youngster took to the pitch just months after having heart surgery.

Celtic defender Greg Taylor says he's ready to face Rangers despite being forced off against Hibs as a precautionary measure. But there could still be a derby selection plot twist in the works - with Alexandro Bernabei blowing Ange Postecoglou away with his cameo off the bench.

Andy Walker admits he underestimated just how good some of Celtic's signings under Ange Postecoglou would be as he applauded the boss for his wide-ranging approach to transfers.
