Nathalie Emmanuel Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Game Of Thrones, saying it was “never the show that pleased everybody”.The HBO series, which came to an end in 2019 after eight seasons, gave Emmanuel her international breakthrough in the role of Missandei, who acted as an advisor to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).Speaking to NME about the show’s controversial end three years later, Emmanuel said: “It was never the show that pleased everybody or had happy endings. When was it ever doing what everyone wanted it to?“Watching it as Nathalie the fan, I have my favourite characters and my own ideas about what happened to them or who I would love more time with.”Among the criticisms of the final season was the death of Missandei – the only leading woman of colour in the show and a former slave – who was graphically decapitated by The Mountain (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson) in front of Daenerys, Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage).Speaking about the backlash to Missandei’s death, Emmanuel said: “I think her killing really speaks to how there can be more than one person of colour on these big budget shows.“I think when we do these shows in the future, we need to have this idea of inclusion at the forefront and a diversity of thought and ideas all the way up the chain.”The first Game Of Thrones spin-off, House Of The Dragon, debuted last month.

The stars of Megalopolis are back on the red carpet!

The cast of Megalopolis took to the red carpet at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival on Thursday (May 16) to attend the movie’s premiere.

The most awaited film this year at the Cannes Film Festival, Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, had its world premiere Thursday night, with the dystopian epic decades in the making landing a seven-minute standing ovation.

But Emmanuel’s now unable to talk about something very different, and for very different reasons.

For years, the idea of “Megalopolis” has been enough to fuel speculation. How could this film possibly be so important that Francis Ford Coppola was willing to stake his career on it? Not only that, this passion project means so much to the director that he felt compelled to put up his own money to finance the $120 million epic.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief “Our new film ‘Megalopolis’ is the best work I’ve ever had the privilege to preside over,” reads a quote attributed to iconic director Francis Ford Coppola attached to the official trailer for his new epic film.

Driver played Maurizio Gucci in 2021’s House Of Gucci and Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann’s biopic Ferrari.Speaking about how he hasn’t been very strategic in his acting career so far, Driver joked that the decision to play the two roles in quick succession was a “good example of not being strategic in a way that I probably should”.“So many people have been like, ‘How many Italians…?’ I’m like, it’s just kind of worked out that way,” Driver said, noting that someone on his PR team should have warned him it would “come up a lot” on the Ferrari press tour.“But I’m like, you know, it’s Ridley [Scott] and it’s Michael [Mann] and they’re in my mind some of the best filmmakers,” he said.
