We meet Elisabeth Moss’ Portia in the first scene of FX’s new Hulu drama The Veil, striding confidently through a busy international airport, stiletto heels precariously high, her mouth a gash of crimson lipstick. She’s meeting a shady businessman named Tomas, and they toast to a transaction successfully made. But several seconds later, Interpol rushes in and she chides Tomas for all the criminal details he spilled in the previous 37 days. She walks away, leaving him fuming and in custody.
Her name isn’t actually Portia. As she leaves, aspect and tone instantly changed, she’s already arranging her next destination — Istanbul — and her next identity, telling a person on the telephone, “I would like my name to be Imogen.” She will be Imogen for the rest of The Veil.
It’s here, two minutes into the show, that eagle-eyed viewers and English majors should already be putting together certain pieces.

“Over the course of his career, legendary mangaka Osamu Tezuka adapted many of Shakespeare's works. Shakespeare Manga Theater collects these adaptations into one volume. The book includes the following: The Merchant of Venice (1959), Robio and Robiette, Macbeth, Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew, and Othello. Shakespeare Manga Theater is sure to be popular not just with Tezuka fans, but also provide a fun and useful educational tool for schools interested in presenting Shakespeare in a format that is easier for readers to engage with.” (Ablaze)
Regarding theater, almost no author is more prolific than William Shakespeare. It can be said that when it comes to manga, Osamu Tezuka is also one of the most well-recognized artists ever to tackle the craft. “Shakespeare Manga Theater” by Osamu Tezuka combines the work of these two great artists to create an anthology of works that is both unique and memorable, if not a...

The ever-articulate and principled Peter Weller has told us a lot about ourselves in his roles as an actor and director. Learning more about this gifted storyteller and true Renaissance man can tell us even more. But Weller hasn’t been seen in a major motion picture since 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness, which ended a long silver screen hiatus. Is the man’s relative absence from the silver screen a product of demand, or might it be more down to his preference? Should his career be brought back into the mainstream spotlight like he was Murphy returning from the afterlife? Or is he busy doing different, more interesting things than being a badass in front of a camera? Let’s find out as we ask ourselves, Wtf happened to Peter Weller?
But first, let’s get a better feel for why the man has been so missed by starting at the beginning.

Update: The project’s title has been changed from “I, Jack White” to “I, Jack Wright.”
“Unforgotten” creator Chris Lang is working on a new drama titled “I, Jack White,” Variety has learned.
The six-part series, which will start shooting in London later this month, tells the story of a man named Jack White who dies by suicide — or so his sprawling family are led to believe.
But when his numerous wives and children stumble across White’s secret last will, the document throws a grenade into their lives and leads them to question whether how well they knew Jack White after all.
Federation Stories is producing the project for BBC Studios-owned U.K. network UKTV.
Tom Vaughan (“What Happens in Vegas”) is set to direct while Federation’s Polly Williams and Arielle Gottlieb are exec producers.

Johnny Depp is gearing up for his latest production ‘Modi’, which will also star Italian star Luisa Ranieri and Al Pacino. Directed by Depp, the movie has begun its shooting in Budapest, Hungary.
‘Modi’ marks ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor’s second film where he is making a return to the director’s chair 25 years after ‘The Brave’, in which the actor also starred alongside Marlon Brando, ‘Variety’ reported.
Depp most recently starred as Louis Xv in Maïwenn’s ‘Jeanne Du Barry’, marking his first acting role since his 2022 defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, which had caused a media frenzy.
The long-gestating picture is based on Dennis McIntyre’s play of the same name which has been adapted for screen by Jerzy and Mary Kromolowski.
‘Modì’ takes place in war-torn Paris during World War I over the course of 48 turbulent hours, according to the film’s provided synopsis.

Spoiler Alert: The following contains details of the American Horror Story Season 12 premiere episode “Multiply Thy Pain,” directed by Jessica Yu and written by Halley Feiffer.
American Horror Story turns 12 this year and you’d never know it; it’s like the series from Ryan Murph and Brad Falchuk has never had any work done in the Nip/Tuck sense of the word. It’s as young and vibrant as it was back in 2011.
Just when you think the series is showing crow’s feet and has gone to loopy ends, i.e., clever-wielding pilgrims, Murphy and Falchuk glam it up with a curveball headlining star and a millennial take on Rosemary’s Baby. Yep, no guessing which horror film this season is based on. This season looks as posh, as cool, and as sexy as a Prada dress on Madison Ave and you wanna hang out with these New Yorkers despite how creepy and inappropriate they are.
However, instead of satanic neighbors hanging around Mia Farrow’s apartment building like in the 1968 Roman Polanski movie, we get cryptic high-class folk hanging around in public places in Manhattan.
Emma Roberts plays famed actress Anna Victoria Alcott, a Michelle Williams-type who has gone from being on a CW show to an indie movie that has morphed her into an Oscar-worthy actress. She’s trying to have a baby with her icy hubby, Dex Harding (played by Matt Czuchry). Note how she wears a pink winter cap (symbolism: girl!) and a baby blue wool coat (boy!). He may or may not still have something for the girl who literally got away in his life — his first wife Adeline, a James Beard-winning chef who died in a kitchen fire. “The way that she died, no one gets over that,” says Dex. Later on, an old friend of Dex and Adeline’s, Talia (Juliana Canfield), feels the latter’s spirit. That’s enough to make Anna run to the ladies’ room.
Anna is undergoing an embryo treatment from Dr. Hill (Dennis O’Hare), the best doctor in the city, who has a surgical staff clad in red like they’re fresh from David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers. Outside of that bizarro, there’s a lot of other crazy stuff happening to Anna as her career is on the ascent (she just booked her first late-night gig on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen): for example, there’s a black-cloaked, feminine-looking figure who’s in bed with her. When Anna wakes, the figure flees the apartment. Also, Anna is left with blood on the carpet, as though she’s just had the baby.
There’s a smoking goth lady in red boots and gloves who follows Anna around in the city; near the onset of the episode, we find her looking into a nest outside Anna’s building that has an embryo in it. No big deal, per Dex. “Maybe she’s just trying to have a baby,” he tells Anna when freaky lady is outside Dr. Hill’s office building. Anna is, natch, wiser: “I don’t think she’d be smoking if she was trying to get pregnant.” Dummy!
And there’s old Mrs. Preecher, who also freaks out Anna in public. That’s a normal run-in, but old Mrs. Preecher winds up as one of the red-clad nurses toward the end when Anna is finishing up her embryo treatment. The elder reveals a long tongue and decides to kiss Anna.
Let’s not forget Sonia Shawcross (Annabelle Dexter-Jones), the artist who likes to come up from behind at her own gallery showings, specifically behind Anna. Sonia is oh, so humdrum: “I used my own menstrual blood in this one,” she says about her latest piece of art on the wall. ‘Does she look like Adeline?’ wonders Anna. “No, not at all,” says Dex.
There’s also other spooky stuff like Anna pulling endless strands of hair out of her head, a spider falling onto her head, and a Barbie reappearing in rando places around her. Despite all the gloom, Dr. Hill is optimistic about Anna’s chances to have a baby.
The only normal person in Anna’s life seems to be her publicist and confidante Siobhan, played by Kim Kardashian. How’s Kim’s acting? She plays a dead-on Type A entertainment industry type who boosts her self-doubting client, telling her that her life and career are great. You feel like Kim is channeling her mom-ager Kris Jenner in a homage. She’s perfect for the part — everyone calm down, it’s not like Kim is playing Portia in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. Siobhan has also battled with fertility issues, having met Anna in an IVF support group, but she’s not envious of Anna’s progress, saying, “Your joy is my joy.”
But gosh, Anna, what’s wrong with you? Why so freaked out?
As Siobhan tells her client, “You have a peculiar penchant for turning dreams into nightmares.”
Or maybe, per Siobhan’s advice, Anna just “needs a nap.”
Then again, perhaps it’s Anna who isn’t the freak in this freak show. The season has been billed to be a feminist take on Rosemary’s Baby. We’ll wait and see if Mama Anna lets it rip.
Mia in episode one are this season’s players Evan Peters, Cara Delevinge and Michaela Jae Rodriguez.
The season is based on Danielle Valentine’s thriller novel Delicate Condition, which follows a woman who is convinced that a sinister figure is going to great lengths to make sure her pregnancy never happens. We get that gist when the cloaked figure appears at the end of the episode (or is it really the beginning? The entire episode takes place “a week earlier”), having written the cryptic message on Anna’s mirror in lipstick: “Don’t Do It Anna.”
Our advice this season when it comes to the 12th go-round of American Horror Story: “Do do it.”...

Italian producer Luciano Sovena, who was instrumental to bringing early works by several of Italy’s now-prominent auteurs such as Alice Rohrwacher, Luciano Frammartino, and Saverio Costanzo, to the big screen, has died. He was 73.
News of Sovena’s sudden death was announced on Sunday by the Rome and Lazio Film Commission Foundation, of which he was president. The cause of death was not disclosed.
The foundation paid tribute to Sovena as “A great and generous professional; a friend of Italian cinema,” in a statement. It went on to note that he was “Ironic, ‘simpatico’ and open to everyone.”
Prior to heading Rome’s film commission – which runs Italy’s top regional film fund – Sovena was for a long stretch managing director of Italy’s state film entity Istituto Luce.

Al Pacino has joined the cast of “Modi,” a European art biopic also starring “John Wick: Chapter 2” actor Riccardo Scamarcio and directed by Johnny Depp, who is producing through his European outlet In.2.
“Modi” explores two chaotic days in the life of Bohemian Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani (Scamarcio), known to his friends as “Modi.” Living in a Paris torn apart by World War I and wanted by the police, Modi wants to leave his career behind. But his life gets even more complicated when he meets an art collector named Gangnat, played by Pacino, who could change his life.
“Modi” producer Barry Navidi has worked with Pacino on several previous films, including a 2004 adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” and Pacino’s directorial debut, an adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s “Salomé” also starring Jessica Chastain.

Now 75, Richard Dreyfuss has turned into pretty much what you’d expect: curt, cranky and direct…and we love him for it! Now, he has targeted the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the same organization that made him the youngest Best Actor winner at the time.
In a recent interview on PBS’ Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, Richard Dreyfuss blasted the Academy’s inclusion rules…and he wasn’t holding back. “It’s an art. No one should be telling me as an artist that I have to give in to the latest, most current idea of what morality is. What are we risking? Are we really risking hurting people’s feelings? You can’t legislate that…You have to let life be life. I’m sorry, I don’t think there is a minority or majority in the country that has to be catered to like that.

Richard Dreyfuss doesn’t get it, but most grouchy, self-proclaimed keepers of the old Hollywood guard never do when it comes to creating an industry that gives a chance for everyone to thrive.
It was Sept. 8, 2020, and I was one week into my job as the awards editor for Variety when the Academy dropped its bombshell news that as part of its Aperture 2025 initiative, the organization was introducing new representation and inclusion requirements for submitting in the best picture category. There are four standards, and a film must meet only two in order to be eligible. So naturally, the news designed to promote and encourage diversity in the Hollywood system was met with divisive reactions. Some, such as Viggo Mortensen, said, “It’s about exclusion, which is discrimination.”
Others like comedian and actor Andy Samberg pointed out the apparent loopholes in the Academy’s gesture: “The parameters if you look at them closely…...

Richard Dreyfuss criticized the Academy Awards’ new representation and inclusion standards for Best Picture nominees going into effect in 2024 during an interview on Friday for PBS’ Firing Line with Margaret Hoover.
“They make me vomit,” the Oscar winner said in response to Hoover’s query regarding the upcoming eligibility requirement. He emphasized film as “an art form,” which to him, means “no one should be telling me as an artist that I have to give in to the latest, most current idea of what morality is. What are we risking? Are we really risking hurting people’s feelings? You can’t legislate that.” Dreyfuss then offered his own, alternative solution, saying, “You have to let life be life.

This year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will be introducing four new diversity and inclusion standards that must be met in order for a film to be considered for an Oscar nomination.
Richard Dreyfuss, who won an Oscar in 1978 and a nomination in 1996, is not fan of these new requirements, and came out swinging in a recent interview with PBS’ “Firing Line with Margaret Hoover”.
“They make me vomit,” Dreyfuss said when asked what he thought about the Oscars’ inclusion standards, and proceeded to explain why.

Richard Dreyfuss is blasting the Oscars’ looming new inclusivity requirements — and defending the use of blackface in the process.
The Oscar-winning “Goodbye Girl” actor sat down for an interview with PBS’ “Firing Line With Margaret Hoover,” released this Friday (via Variety). Although the majority of the interview focused on Dreyfuss’ advocacy for civics education in public schools, he also spoke about the soon to be implemented inclusivity requirements for Best Picture nominees at the Oscars. First announced in 2020 by the Academy after years of criticism against its overwhelmingly white winners and nominees, the rules go into effect in 2025, and only apply to the Best Picture category, with hopefuls needing to achieve certain benchmarks in order to qualify for consideration.
These benchmarks aren’t particularly difficult to reach — all films need to meet just two out of four standards in onscreen representation, crew inclusivity, internship opportunities, or marketing representation — but Dreyfuss said they “make me vomit.

In the third episode of "What We Do in the Shadows" season 2, entitled "Brain Scramblies", the show's vampire characters Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Dimitriou), and Laszlo (Matt Berry) have been invited to what they assume is a Superb Owl party. Being ancient vampires with no knowledge of modern-day human foibles, they aren't savvy enough to understand that it will be a Super Bowl party.
They arrive at the home of their neighbor, Sean (Anthony Atamanuik), and only then does Sean realize that he never sees Nandor, Nadja, and Laszlo during the daytime, so he jokingly says they must be vampires. Fearing that their (barely-disguised) vampirism has actually been discovered by their neighbor, Nandor and Laszlo decide to hypnotize him and erase his memories. When Sean is showing off his room of "Ocean's Twelve" memorabilia, they strike.

While some of his movies were not fully appreciated in their time, it's hard to overstate the influence Welles has had on filmmaking and filmmakers to this day.
However, for as many movies as he was able to make, there were just as many that he didn't couldn't to life. For a variety of reasons, many of Welles' projects wound up never seeing the light of day. These films have long been the subject of speculation and confusion, as there often isn't a lot of available details about them.

[Warning: Spoilers ahead for “Triangle of Sadness”]
Dolly de Leon doesn’t get very far in Cannes without being stopped in the street by enthusiastic fans. The scene-stealing Filipina actor stars in Ruben Östlund’s festival sensation “Triangle of Sadness,” where her every line has so far prompted cheers in press and public screenings alike.
De Leon plays Abigail, a toilet manager on a chaotic cruise ship who gets her own back on her bosses and guests when, well, shit hits the fan. Her story is just one part of Östlund’s searing commentary on privilege, greed and power — but Abigail’s power play, exquisitely brought to life by de Leon’s deadpan delivery, is what audiences will remember.
The overnight success at the world’s foremost film festival, where Neon acquired the movie, is all very new to de Leon, who is still a gigging actor back home in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
