Elizabeth Olsen Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic In 2008, the writer-director Azazel Jacobs made a small but vivid splash with “Momma’s Man,” a Sundance comedy about a troubled dweeb hiding out in the cocoon of his parents’ downtown Manhattan apartment. The parents were played by Jacobs’ own (the avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs and his wife Flo), and the movie turned their overstuffed bohemian pack-rat museum of a loft into a tiny city of its own. “Momma’s Man” showed extraordinary promise, and in the 15 years since I’ve been waiting for Azazel Jacobs to make good on it.

Writer/Director Azazel Jacobs has made a couple of indie pictures I really loved. French Exit gave Michelle Pfeiffer one of her meatiest roles in years and she ran with it in a delicious Paris-set tale. He also provided Debra Winger and Tracy Letts with terrific roles in the sophisticated The Lovers. And now Jacobs shows once again he knows how to attract top actors with well-written characters in the intimate drama, His Three Daughters which stars Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen, and Natasha Lyonne as a trio of sisters gathering in the New York City apartment where their father (Jay O. Sanders) is down the hall (unseen for most of the film) and near death. They have arrived to spend his final days with him, stretched out here to three, but also to renew their own dysfunctional dynamic in what could easily have been made as a play rather than a film, and feels just a bit too stagey for its own good.

Elizbeth Olsen is opening up about her relationship with her Marvel Cinematic Universe character the Scarlet Witch.

Elizabeth Olsen made her Marvel debut as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in 2013’s “Captain America and the Winter Soldier”.

After working for the past several years in the Marvel universe, Elizabeth Olsen is ready to explore other roles. Olsen filmed WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness back-to-back, playing Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. In a pre-strike interview with Times of London, Olsen explained that is why she was drawn to the role of Candy Montgomery in Max’s Love and Death.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Elizabeth Olsen told The Times of London in a recently-published interview (conducted pre-strike) that she is aggressively seeking a “variation” of characters after working for four years solely in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Olsen filmed “WandaVision” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” back to back, which was perhaps too much time dedicated to only playing Scarlet Witch. That’s a large reason Olsen was drawn to playing alleged axe murderer Candy Montgomery in Max’s “Love and Death.” “I’m trying to figure out… Because, specifically in the last four years, my output has been Marvel,” Olsen said.

The actors’ strike is still ongoing, but there are several projects that have received waivers or are exempt from the strike rules.

WandaVision, The Mandalorian and Loki are being released in 4K UHD and Blu-ray later this year. This is the first time the Disney+ series’ will be getting the physical disc treatment.

Oldboy director Park Chan-wook has detailed what he’d change in his acclaimed action thriller, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.Loosely based on the Japanese manga of the same name, Oldboy follows Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) in his quest for vengeance against his captors after being imprisoned inside a cell for 15 years.Speaking about revisiting the film for the remastered 4K version, Chan-wook explained that, if he had known how successful Oldboy would become while making it, he would have made a specific change to the original film.“Initially when we were designing Woo-jin’s penthouse, I had this idea of creating a very long single-lane pool,” Chan-wook told IndieWire. “When it’s reflected on the glass and he’s swimming, it almost looks like a white fish swimming in a long strip of water against the dark sky of night.“I wanted to create a very surrealist image but couldn’t because of the budget.

National Sisters Day is observed each year and celebrates the bond sisters share.The day is celebrated on Aug. 6 annually. While siblings are nice to have, sisters often share a very close bond, raise children to be even closer, sometimes work together, maybe fight here and there but always support one another.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast hosts Michael Schneider, Clayton Davis, Emily Longeretta and Jazz Tangcay gathered on Wednesday, just hours after the Television Academy announced this year’s Emmy nominations, to dissect the news — from the big winners like “Succession,” to the shocking omissions (no Harrison Ford or Elizabeth Olsen), and then the nice surprises (wow, “Jury Duty”!). The nominations were telling on a number of fronts — including the current assessment that we may very well see a beat “Succession”/”Ted Lasso” dominance. Did the voting procedural changes help bring in a wider group of nominees? No. And will voters pick straight tickets of “Succession” and “Ted Lasso” nominees? Quite possible. Who will win the “SNL”/”Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” smackdown? What are our favorite faceoffs this year? (How can one pick between birthday celebrations for Norman Lear and Carol Burnett, for example?)

Hayley Atwell‘s Peggy Carter made a glorious comeback in 2022′s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness only to be killed off within minutes of returning to the screen.

There were some shocking — and some expected — actors and TV shows snubbed at the 2023 Emmy nominations.

this year’s Emmy nominations is the looming actors strike. The writers strike, in effect since early May, has already severely curtailed celebrating the best and brightest of the 2022-23 TV season. And now, with SAG-AFTRA almost certainly joining the WGA on the picket line in a matter of hours, there’s an air of doom over what should be a happy event.  On another, less existential level, what does Harrison Ford have to do to get an Emmy nomination?! The Emmys’ diamond anniversary brought widely expected nominations for previous Emmy favorites like “Succession,” “The White Lotus,” “Abbott Elementary” and “Ted Lasso.” A new shift in rules that capped the number of names voters could submit per category was expected to keep those shows from total domination of the acting categories — but they all still managed to overwhelm the supporting and guest actor categories, along with newly crowned Emmy favorite, “The Last of Us.”

Elizabeth Olsen will star opposite Alicia Vikander in an upcoming dystopian drama. The Marvel and the Tomb Raider stars will play the lead roles in The Assessment, directed by French filmmaker Fleur Fortuné in her feature debut (via Screen Daily). The film is set in a not-so-distant future where the world has been destroyed by climate change.

Elizabeth Olsen isn’t looking back.

Meghann Fahy and Elizabeth Olsen are bonding over their craft.

Elizabeth Olsen and Meghann Fahy deliver two of the most nuanced performances of the Emmy season, both playing complicated women who are wives and mothers. In “Love & Death,” Olsen’s Candy Montgomery is based on a real housewife in late-1970s Texas, who out of boredom instigates an affair with Allan (Jesse Plemons), a member of her church — an illicit assignation that eventually leads to Candy being on trial for murdering Allan’s wife, Betty (Lily Rabe). In a very different setting, Season 2 of Mike White’s “The White Lotus,” Fahy plays Daphne, a character on a luxury Sicilian vacation with her husband, Cameron (Theo James), and another couple: Ethan (Will Sharpe) and Harper (Aubrey Plaza). As the tension among the four escalates, it’s both sexual and violent — and oddsmakers were entirely wrong about the identity of the dead body in the season-premiere flashback.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Elizabeth Olsen is currently on a break from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and she’s definitely enjoying it. During a conversation with “The White Lotus” star Meghann Fahy as part of Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series, Olsen got honest about not missing her Scarlet Witch days. “Do you miss doing Wanda?” Fahy asked. “No, I don’t,” Olsen responded. “I think it’s been almost 10 years of playing her. And I’ve loved it. And I think the reason why I am not calling Kevin Feige every day with ideas is because I’m really proud of what we were able to do. I think ‘WandaVision’ was a really surprising opportunity.”

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen graced the silver screen, who became literal Hollywood darlings in their infancy. The identical twins famous started their acting careers as babies on ABC sitcom Full House, where they played youngest Tanner sibling Michelle Tanner alongside the late Bob Saget, plus John Stamos, Jodie Sweetin, Lori McLoughlin, Dave Coulier, and Candace Cameron Bure from 1987 to 1995.

Kaley Cuoco really hopes she and boyfriend, Tom Pelphrey, will one day get the chance to work together.
