The film, the debut feature of director Rich Peppiatt starring the band members as themselves along with Michael Fassbender, was already picked up in Park City by Sony Pictures Classics, which acquired all rights to the title for North America, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Turkey and the Middle East.

When it comes to slippers there’s nothing better than a cosy, fluffy-lined pair to keep your feet toasty and warm when the weather outside is less than desirable, but there’s no reason your slippers can’t be just as chic as some of your favourite outdoor footwear. That definitely seems to be the consensus of The White Company shoppers, who’ve been snapping up the brand’s Suede Corkbed Mule Slippers, £55 here, to keep their feet warm whilst still looking stylish.

Sam Rockwell is back on movie screens in Matthew Vaughn‘s latest spy romp, “Argylle,” but what’s next for the actor? A return to a certain MCU role, maybe?

And while Rockwell couldn’t confirm anything, he said he’s “in” if Marvel Studios wants him back.

“Let’s Be Clear” podcast Monday where the pair reflected on the odd chemistry between their characters Brenda and Brandon Walsh.“Brenda and Brandon were always so interesting because we had an interesting relationship,” Doherty said, prompting Priestley to bust into laughter. “There was this sexual undertone of Brenda and Brandon that to this day is hysterical.”Doherty, who portrayed Brenda for the first four seasons of the show, also recalled a fan at a convention asking her to sign a picture of the fictional siblings, recalling, “I was like, ‘This is inappropriate for brother and sister.'”The “Charmed” alum also referenced the 1992 Rolling Stone magazine cover she and Priestley posed for alongside the late Luke Perry.

When is an aspiring sociopolitical satire so exasperated with what it’s supposedly lampooning that its anger and indignation threaten to undermine the irony of what it’s trying to ridicule? Directed by Austrian pair Daniel Hoesl and Julia Nieman, their Sahara dry, deadpan social satire, “Veni Vidi Vici” (Latin for “I came; I saw; I conquered”)— about the untouchable nature of the rich and powerful of the world, and how consequences for their actions have largely vanished — isn’t necessarily that film.

Gay cinema certainly has turned a corner lately, in the wake of films as varied as Cassandro, Rustin and All of Us Strangers, stories in which the lead character’s sexuality might form a crucial part of the tapestry of the drama but isn’t the be-all and end-all. Leading the vanguard for the next generation is this confident debut from 33-year-old British-Iraqi director Amrou Al-Kadhi, a frank and emotionally honest portrait of someone who falls outside society’s boxes and steadfastly refuses to conform to them. This emphasis on the positive is sometimes counterintuitive (more on that later), but, thanks to its core cast, Layla is an engaging study of love in the pronoun era.

Alex Ritman One of the reasons Rich Peppiatt moved to Belfast was, he claims, for a quieter life with his family away from the London scene. Unfortunately, within a few months he’d become entangled with the hard-partying and anarchic Northern Irish rap group Kneecap and, as the British tabloid journalist turned filmmaker tells Variety, was “rolling home at 7 in the morning on a Tuesday.” Such nocturnal binges can now, however, be squarely put down as part of a crucial movie-making process.
